Zhang Cheng was originally in the yamen, but he barely escaped after paying the ransom and promising to return all the money tomorrow.
But where does he have money?
The principal of 30,000 yuan was used to fill the shortfall, and it had already fallen into the hands of Yu Jinxi. The money for selling the silk was taken away by Gu Qiheng. He said he would withdraw it, so how could he get any money back?
But if he doesn't say so, he can't be the master, and the government will ask the master's family, that is, let Yu Jinxi come to court.
Once Yu Jinxi goes to court, he will inevitably have to check the accounts, and his charges will only be more serious.
Zhang Cheng was sweating coldly and wanted to come to the Gu family first to plead for mercy and ask Yu Jinxi to spare his life. As long as the money was returned, he would be safe and sound.
After Yu Jinxi heard what he said, he had no intention of sparing him. He looked serious and said, "I don't know anything about what you said. Raising prices without authorization, hoarding goods for sale, and passing off inferior goods are taboos for businesses. Now it's done." In this case, I can’t control it.”
"Zhang Cheng, if you dare to do this this time, there's no guarantee that you didn't do this before. Nine times out of ten, there is something wrong with the store's accounts. Now that you're here, let's explain everything clearly. If you don't tell the truth, you'd better go back to the Yamen. Explain it."
Accounts from the past...
Zhang Cheng was dumbfounded. He subconsciously looked at Gu Qiheng, but was glared at by Gu Qiheng fiercely. Zhang Cheng was instantly chilled, lowered his head and said, "The account books did suffer losses in the past..."
Yu Jinxi interrupted him, "Qingti, go ask someone to write a petition and take him to the Yamen."
Zhang Cheng panicked instantly, "Miss, please spare me, I don't dare to do it anymore..."
"If we don't drag it out any longer, we'll be so noisy."
Gu Qiheng quickly ordered his servants to take Zhang Cheng away. Yu Jinxi did not stop him and asked people to take Zhang Cheng to the Yamen.
After Zhang Cheng was taken away, Gu Qiheng walked up to Yu Jinxi and said softly, "Jinxi, this shop is always under your name. You can't ignore this matter! If the trouble continues, it will be bad for your reputation."
Yu Jinxi nodded pretending to agree, "Of course the money must be refunded. The money from selling Yunlong silk..."
Gu Qiheng said quickly, "I'll use that money for emergencies. Jinxi, please help me again, please."
Yu Jinxi sighed, "I sold the shop to see if I can survive."
This time, Gu Qiheng had no objections.
Sell it, sell it, it’s not his property anyway.
When Yu Jinxi returned to the backyard, Qingti couldn't help but ask, "Miss, that's your dowry. Do you really want to sell it to that screwdriver to fill a hole?"
Yu Jinxi didn't explain, just said, "Hang out first."
The incident at the silk shop became more and more intense. People cursed and even threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at the door of the shop. The shop could not open at all.
Yu Jinxi told Gu Qiheng that the shop could not be sold. Although there were people buying it, the price was very low, at most one thousand taels of silver.
Gu Qiheng just said to let her make the decision and directly pushed the mess onto her.
Qingti was so angry that she cursed after hearing this, but Yu Jinxi had already expected it and her mood remained calm.
"Young Master, don't bother our young lady. She has been suffering from headaches recently because of things outside. She really doesn't want to see outsiders."
Qingti blocked the door of the yard, her tone was not very kind, and Gu Chengxuan was not annoyed. He stood holding a small box, "Sister Qingti, I came to my mother to relieve her worries."
"Young Master, what can you do about the things outside?"
Seeing Qingti soften her voice, Gu Chengxuan got under her arm and turned back to her and said, "I really have a way."
Qingti didn't catch up and ran in, staring at him in disgust.
At this time, Yu Jinxi was lying on the soft couch. When she heard the movement, she opened her eyes slightly, only to see Gu Chengxuan standing in front of her.
"How did you come?"
She didn't bother to talk to him, and her voice was lazy.
Listening to her feeble voice, Gu Chengxuan thought that what Qingti said was true, and then he held the small box he carried with him to her.
"Mom, I have money here, so you don't have to worry about money anymore."
Gu Chengxuan looked innocent, as if he really wanted to solve Yu Jinxi's problems.
Yu Jinxi stared at him for a while, and then said, "You are serious!"
Gu Chengxuan said with a smile, "That's right. Mother is good to me, and I must also be good to my mother."
Yu Jinxi didn't say anything. Qingti walked over quickly and took the small box from Gu Chengxuan's hand. "The young master is really thoughtful. Please see how much money the young master gives to the young lady."
Qingti also smiled, and Yu Jinxi didn't care about her.
Gu Chengxuan was dissatisfied and looked at Yu Jinxi longingly, "This is all the New Year's money my mother gave me in previous years. Now that my mother is in trouble, I should give it to her."
Before Yu Jinxi could speak, Qingti said, "In previous years, the young lady gave the young master a lot, at least a thousand taels. Young Master, you only have some broken silver in this box. The total of the little bits and pieces adds up to even fifty taels." No, how can I help the young lady solve her problems?"
Qingti sneered in her heart, is her love just showing off with some scattered money?
He really has the same virtues as his dead father!
Gu Chengxuan thought that Yu Jinxi would not want it, but who would have thought that Qingti would turn on her and expose her in public.
Regarding an adult matter, he, a child, used the money he thought was the most to say good things, thinking that Yu Jinxi should be moved, hug him, and say he was a good boy.
I feel sorry for him, I don't take anything from him, I have to give him some, why don't I follow the routine?
At this time, he heard Yu Jinxi calmly say to him, "I accept your intention. You can go back. I still have something to be busy with."
Qingti also said, "Young Master, there are people outside waiting to see the young lady asking for money. You can't help, so don't cause trouble here."
Gu Chengxuan wanted to say something else, but Qingti pushed him out, and Qingti also placed the small box next to Yu Jinxi, with no intention of returning it to him.
Gu Chengxuan looked at Yu Jinxi with aggrieved expression, and Yu Jinxi simply closed his eyes and pretended not to see.
Qingti sent the person away and turned around feeling angry. She became even more angry when she looked at the small box next to Yu Jinxi.
"The whole family is supercilious. They gave him so much New Year's money, but they still have the nerve to hold such a bad box with such a small amount of loose money to show their courtesy."
Qingti pulled out the broken silver, threw the small box away, and said bitterly, "It's just such a small amount of money, and you want to take it with you when you leave. It's really shameless."
Yu Jinxi sneered and said, "He brought the money here because he wanted me to praise him for being smart. He didn't plan to give the money to me without telling me. He also wanted to get a 'sense fee' from me and move back by the way."
Qingti took a deep breath and said, "Daydreaming!"
The incident lasted for two days, and Yu Jinxi took 800 taels of silver to return the money. Of course, this amount of money was not enough. Yu Jinxi asked Chu Dashan to make a white note for the rest, promising that they could go to the Gu family to ask for the money if they couldn't pay the bill in one day. .
Gu Qiheng wanted to hide away, but not only did he have no door, he also had no windows.
