In order to stabilize Bai Yujing, Liu Chengyu immediately ordered people to bring out the fine wine collected in the house.
In the backyard, several people gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
"At this point, we can only ask the restaurant to deliver good food first, otherwise the traitor will not let it go!"
Liu Chengyu's face was gloomy, Bai Yujing had sinister intentions, just to make the Hou family lose face, how could she let him get what he wanted!
Jiang Ruyan raised her head in panic, "Your Majesty, Ruyan can no longer change money, and there is no restaurant in the capital that is willing to give credit..."
As she spoke, she looked towards Mrs. Liu who was sitting in the corner and taking a breath for help. Her meaning was obvious.
"I asked you to give me the money in the palm of your hand. Is this how you do things? I think you have hidden the property of the Marquis Mansion privately and are reluctant to take it out now!"
Who believes her story about having no money?
Why send invitations to so many people if you don’t have money?
When Mrs. Liu thought about the fool she had just made in front of everyone, she vented her anger on Jiang Ruyan!
The woman felt extremely aggrieved and regretted even more that she had taken this hot potato. She had gained nothing but was accused of lining her own pockets!
"How dare Ruyan deceive the prince? If you don't have money, you have no money. Even if you kill Ruyan, you still have this sentence!"
Jiang Ruyan was already frightened by Bai Yujing's pressure just now, and now she simply collapsed on the ground. She couldn't eat human flesh anyway, let's see what they can do!
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Liu was so angry that she cursed repeatedly, "You're a useless thing. Your Majesty is really blind to bring a disaster star like you into the house!"
The Hou Mansion has been fine for so many years, but bad luck continues to happen as soon as this foxy girl shows up!
Liu Chengyu's expression was extremely ugly, and he had no intention of arguing at the moment, "Then just pawn the gifts I received today. It should be enough, right?"
If it were delayed for another quarter of an hour, there was no telling what ways Bai Yujing would come up with to make things difficult for them!
"Yes, yes, Yunxian is always willing to take the gifts she gave to the children!" Mrs. Liu's eyes lit up, and her hope was rekindled.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ruyan laughed out loud, thinking she was so stupid, "The old lady keeps saying that Xia Yunxian is generous, but why didn't she just send the children away with two broken pens!"
At this time, I still thought Xia Yunxian was some kind of good guy!
Broken pen? !
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, obviously not understanding the meaning of her words.
"The wolf hair brush made by Taifu Wu himself was taken from the down of the polar white snow wolf. It is extremely precious. He gave one to the prince back then, and the current number one scholar also has one!"
"I didn't expect that this treasure, which the literati can only ask for, is worthless in Miss Ruyan's eyes!"
Chunxiao's voice came from outside the door without warning, and the master and servant walked into everyone's sight with the brocade box that Jiang Ruyan had thrown in the garden.
When Liu Chengyu saw what was in the box, his face instantly turned black!
The seal of Taifu Wu is indeed printed on the Zizhu pen barrel. Who doesn't know that Taifu was rich in learning and had disciples all over the world. The langhao pen he presented is of great significance, symbolizing a boundless career!
This gift simply cannot be measured in money!
"My grandfather doesn't like vulgar things. This was a blessing that he had prepared long ago to give to his great-grandson. Unexpectedly, sister Ruyan abandoned it on the roadside. In this case, I won't force it."
Xia Yunxian signaled Chunxiao to take the box back, but Mrs. Liu was too late to stop her. She was so angry that she almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Even though she was extremely anxious, she couldn't take it by force. If this matter spread, the literati of Dongling Kingdom would be able to flood the Hou Mansion with their saliva!
"You, you actually threw away the good intention that Mr. Wu gave to my sweet grandson?!"
She had wrongly blamed her daughter-in-law before, thinking that her daughter-in-law didn't like Yao'er well, but she gave such a good thing, which showed that she didn't treat Yao'er as an outsider!
On the other hand, Jiang Ruyan, the biological mother, is short-sighted and does not know good things, and is narrow-minded and cannot even tolerate a single thought!
At this moment, Jiang Ruyan was being pointed at and scolded by Mrs. Liu, but her mind went blank. How could she have imagined that this deal was of great significance!
But if it was such a precious thing, why didn't Xia Yunhan remind her to pick it up and keep it properly when he saw it before?
He must have done it on purpose!
He pretends to be a brother who loves his sister, but he does this behind his back!
"Xia Yunxian! You, please immediately ask the store under your name to send over this month's account. I will punish her well!"
Seeing Xia Yunxian turning around to leave, Liu Chengyu quickly stopped him without caring about the previous revenge.
"What does it have to do with me whether the prince punishes her or not?" It's really ridiculous. Is Jiang Ruyan's life so valuable?
Liu Chengyu was so angry that he said, "If you hadn't let go, how could the Hou Mansion have been forced into this situation!"
Xia Yunxian met his angry gaze calmly, pretending to be confused, "Yunxian didn't hold a grand birthday party for the two children in the past because he was worried that the Hou family would be too public and cause trouble. The prince has prepared such a grand occasion today, so he should have done everything. Are you ready?"
"..." Liu Chengyu's face froze, and he couldn't say a word.
"From now on, all the stores under Yun Xian's name will no longer send bills. The prince must give up on this!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Ruyan almost fainted. She almost used up all her strength to block Xia Yunxian, "Sister, do you not care about the life or death of the young master and the young lady?"
She originally just wanted to get through these few days and feel more relaxed after getting those accounts, but now Xia Yunxian actually said no more? !
This is cutting off her way of survival and ending her only remaining hope!
"My sister is joking. If you are short of money, just ask Mr. Bai to get it. He won't want his adopted son to starve to death."
Xia Yunxian's words immediately turned Jiang Ruyan's face into an earthy color.
"Sister is so cruel! Even if you are dissatisfied with your sister, you should not anger the children. After raising them for so many years, don't you have any friendship at all?"
"Cruel? You are eager for quick success and want to express yourself. You know that the Marquis Mansion is in dire straits but you still spend so much money. We really need to blame it. It is your vanity that has harmed them!"
Xia Yunxian pressed forward step by step, "Who is Bai Yujing? I am just a woman and a child, so why should I fight with him? Now he wants to deal with the Hou Mansion. If he fails once, there will be a second time. Who has the ability to avoid future troubles?!"
Hearing what she said, everyone's eyes trembled.
right!
Bai Yujing is targeting the Hou Mansion!
So what if I prepare all the abalone and ginseng wings for him today? If he is not happy another day, he will come to the Marquis Mansion to cause trouble!
Liu Chengyu's chest heaved violently. Being entangled by such an evil spirit, the Liu family would never have peace!
"Unzen can show the way to the prince. Now go out and apologize to Bai Yujing. It's not shameful to have no money. What's shameful is that you still have to show off without money. You can keep the green mountains without worrying about having no firewood!"
Xia Yunxian didn't stop any longer. Mrs. Liu awkwardly approached Liu Chengyu, whose face was getting more and more ferocious, "Yunxian is right, why don't you just kneel down for him? A man can bend and stretch..."
