Chapter 502: Forcing Jiang Wanqing to Pay Back His Debt
Hearing Zhou Zigu's questioning voice, Madam Yan suddenly laughed out of anger.
He said, "What does the Marquis mean by this? Saying that we deceived him? What a joke! Your Xingchang Marquisate is not the richest family in the capital, so why am I here?
Besides, your young master also gambled on gold last time. I think you should have taught him a lesson, but now, he still wants to gamble on gold. Who can you blame?
This time, he wanted to gamble on credit, and he agreed to it in the name of Xingchang Marquis's Mansion in front of everyone. It was his initiative and I didn't force him.
Could it be that you, the Marquis of Xingchang, can use the excuse of being young to evade the debt? We can't let the children learn badly and let us bear the consequences, right?"
Zhou Zigu frowned tightly and looked at the people around him who were talking.
Suddenly, he looked at Zhou Musheng with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Then he turned around and glanced at Song Nansheng and Jiang Wanqing.
Questioning: "Did he already bet the gold last time? Why did you all know that he had already bet, but no one stopped him?"
Jiang Wanqing opened his mouth and explained: "Who would have thought that he would go out to gamble in the middle of the night?"
Song Nansheng wanted to settle the matter peacefully: "My Lord, since you have already owed me the money, just pay me the money."
She was afraid that if she continued to stay at the door, the noise would attract more passers-by to come and watch the show.
If this goes on, her Mu Sheng's reputation will be ruined.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Zigu sneered and said, "Just give the silver? Didn't you hear her say that Mu Sheng owed 50,000 taels of gold! That's gold, not silver!"
Zhou Zigu was extremely angry towards Zhou Musheng.
I don’t know where Zhou Musheng got the courage from. He even dared to bet on gold. I have never bet on gold before.
Besides, where would we get so much money now?
You know, last time he sold all his shops and used the money to make counterfeit currency. After the matter was discovered, not to mention the counterfeit currency, he didn't even get his real money back.
Today, the revenue from these shops in the Marquis Xingchang’s mansion is just a drop in the bucket.
How could this gap of 50,000 taels be filled?
Thinking of this, Zhou Zigu felt a headache.
Madam Yan was getting impatient.
He spoke again, "My Lord, you are not still thinking of some excuse to shirk your debt, are you? But you also know that the rules of our Wuyou Pavilion are that there is no debt that we cannot collect. If you don't have the money to pay the debt, then there is only one way left?"
At the end of her speech, there was a hint of threat in Yan Niangzi's tone.
And Zhou Zigu also heard the hidden meaning in these words.
Doesn't it mean paying off a debt with one's life?
He also knew something about Wuyou Pavilion's style of doing things.
Those who want to default on their debts will eventually die in an 'accident'.
Although everyone knew that it was not an "accident", there was not a single shred of evidence, so the case could only be concluded as an "accident".
No one knows who is the powerful force behind Wuyou Pavilion.
Some say it is a prince, some say it is the crown prince, or some say that the master behind this is actually the current emperor.
Therefore, the people in the government just turned a blind eye to Wuyou Pavilion.
As long as there is no obvious evidence left to say that it was Wuyou Pavilion's fault, no one would deliberately target Wuyou Pavilion.
After all, we all have only one life.
But Song Nansheng didn't know these rules.
Hearing Madam Yan say that there was another way, I felt relieved.
He quickly asked, "I don't know what other methods are left, but as long as we can do it, we will definitely cooperate!"
Madam Yan looked at Song Nansheng as if he was a fool.
Could it be that this person really thought that there could be other ways to exchange for the 50,000 taels of gold for free?
At that moment, Lady Yan suppressed her smile and said, "Of course, I will pay the debt with my life. You can do this."
'Pay your life in exchange for your debt?'
Song Nansheng murmured these words and suddenly realized that this meant he wanted to kill Mu Sheng.
Song Nansheng quickly shook his head: "That won't work!"
Zhou Zigu glanced at Song Nansheng and said, "What an idiot!"
Song Nansheng naturally also heard Zhou Zigu's curse.
He glared back and said, "If you have the ability, then think of a way! Take out the 50,000 taels of gold!"
Zhou Zigu took a deep breath.
He called the servant beside him and whispered something in his ear.
After a while, the servant left and ran towards the Marquis of Xingchang's mansion.
Zhou Zigu then said to Lady Yan: "Give me some more time."
Madam Yan nodded: "Of course, this is a big deal after all, I have plenty of time to stay here with the Marquis today."
Song Nansheng then asked Zhou Zigu, "Does your house still have any gold?"
Zhou Zigu opened his lips and said, "My mother still has some pocket money, if I remember correctly."
After hearing this, Song Nansheng recalled, "Yes, my aunt still has some gold, but even if all the gold in my aunt's place is added together, it is still not enough."
Zhou Zigu was silent for a while.
After hesitating, he turned around and walked in front of Jiang Wanqing.
She said, "You are Mu Sheng's mother after all. Since you can save the world, you can save your own child, right? Madam, you must have some extra money. Just use it to save Mu Sheng! Mu Sheng will definitely remember your kindness in the future!"
Song Nansheng also reacted at this time.
He hurriedly came in front of Jiang Wanqing and knelt on the ground with a plop.
With a pleading look on his face, he said, "Madam, please, Mu Sheng at least called you mother. Now that Mu Sheng is in trouble, are you really going to watch him being killed by the people from Wuyou Pavilion?"
[This scumbag daddy is so calculating. Now that something has happened, he comes to call mom "madam" again! ]
[The bad aunt is really good at moral blackmail. 】
[You all think your mother is easy to bully, right? ]
Xiaoxiao woke up at some point and kept yawning.
She heard the noise and opened her eyes, and saw the lively scene in front of her. She despised her cheap father even more.
Jiang Wanqing waved her handkerchief, looking surprised: "My Lord, Sister Nan Sheng, please stop shouting nonsense. I am no longer the wife of the Marquis of Xingchang. We divorced yesterday.
This Mu Sheng is just the adopted son of the Xingchang Marquisate. I used to be the mistress of the Xingchang Marquisate, so I was able to call her mother. Now that I am no longer the wife of the Xingchang Marquisate, I don’t dare to call her mother anymore.”
