In the rebirth, the abandoned wife of a noble family turned black

Chapter 23 23 This is the money for the Marquis’ promotion
"I, that's not what I meant." Ms. Zhou was also panicking now. She was not sure what Lin Feng was doing outside at all.

Chunhua Tower was originally the most famous brothel in Kyoto, the favorite place for dandies in Kyoto to stay.

A lot of money is spent there, and unless you have deep financial resources, you simply can't get into a place like that.

"Whether the eldest brother is inside, Lord Hou, why don't you let someone go and see it? After all, if this eldest brother really owes Chunhua Tower money, if this matter gets out, I'm afraid it will affect Lord Hou's future."

Lin Ningkun said nothing, but his tense expression showed that he was very angry at this moment.

Jiang Ruanxi looked at his face with fists clenched, and lowered his eyes to hide the ridicule in his eyes.

This is no longer as simple as affecting the future. Lin Ningkun has a high self-esteem and a clean mind, and would never go to that kind of place. Before, Lin Feng was just making small fuss and would not do such a thing where he owed money.

But now that things have reached this point, if the trouble continues to get bigger, it goes without saying that his career will be affected.

Even those gossips are enough to make him look ugly.

And the more decent people are, the more they care about those things.

Lin Ningkun's face was extremely stinky, "Come here, go to Chunhua Building and see if this is the case."

After the servant left, Ms. Zhou felt uneasy. She was restless, hoping that Lin Feng wouldn't be so confused.

Seeing that the two of them couldn't wait for the result, Jiang Ruanxi would definitely not give up, so he directly asked someone to bring tea.

Half an hour later, Lin Ningkun's cronies came back.

"Mr. Hou, I did go to Chunhua Building and is now trapped in Chunhua Building. They said that if the Hou Mansion doesn't pay to redeem the uncle, they will report the matter to Jing Zhaoyin. go."

Zhou immediately took a few steps back, as if he had been hit and was about to faint at any moment.

Lin Ningkun could no longer restrain his anger, so he slapped the table with his backhand, smashing the teapot and cup on the table directly to the ground, and the tea stains spread all over the floor.

"Mom, when I left, didn't I tell you to control my elder brother? Why didn't you listen to me?"

"I...I'm in charge. Your eldest brother clearly promised me not to go, but who knows..."

"Is this your discipline?"

Lin Ningkun wanted to crush the paper in his hand and throw it on her face.

"He is in Chunhua Building now. Do you really not know at all?"

Mrs. Zhou looked guilty, "I...I..."

I couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"Mother, do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"

Lin Ningkun's sharp voice made Zhou shiver in fright.

"I, I know that after he went to He's house, your sister-in-law ignored him and he came back. But as for where he went, I really don't know."

With the conscience of heaven and earth, if Zhou knew that Lin Feng was going to such a place, she would definitely stop him.

Lin Ningkun's expression was slightly better. Even if his mother was confused, she would not be that bad.

"Master Marquis, it's useless for you to be angry here now. You should think about how to solve brother's problem."

Lin Ningkun knew that it was useless to say this now, so he walked out with a puff of his sleeves.

Zhou's tears kept flowing. Neither of my two sons is worry-free. The eldest is uneducated and incompetent. How can she, a woman, manage her family well?

The second son was good, but every time something happened, she would always be held responsible. She really didn't want to live anymore.

The more he cried, the fiercer he became, thinking that Jiang Ruan Xi could comfort him a few words.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ruanxi said quietly, "Mother, if I were you, I wouldn't cry now."

"The eldest brother owes Chunhua Tower ten thousand taels. Even if the Marquis has passed away now, if there is no money, the eldest brother will definitely not be able to get out. If I were you, instead of crying here, I would rather think about how to sort out your affairs. The dowry fills the hole.”

Zhou stopped crying instantly. How could she forget this?

But Lin Feng owed ten thousand taels, and he couldn't pay it back even if he paid the dowry.

Suddenly, looking at Jiang Ruan Xi in front of him, his eyes lit up.

I don’t have it myself, but Jiang Ruan Xi does!

Looking at Jiang Ruan Xi with a smile on his face, he said softly, "Ruan Xi, you are the one who has been acquired by our Hou family, and Feng'er is also your eldest brother. I don't have that much money on my hands, look."

"What my mother said is true, but as I said before, I can only spend five thousand taels of silver on the accounting office. This is the money for the promotion of the Marquis. It's okay if I can pay you back the money from my eldest brother. I'll get it right away."

After saying that, Jiang Ruanxi turned around and walked towards the door. As soon as she took a step, Mrs. Zhou stopped her, "Stop."

"Mom, what's wrong?" Jiang Ruanxi turned to look at her blankly.

"This money cannot be given to Feng'er. This is the money for the Marquis' promotion."

"Mother is right. I have an idea, but maybe I need to offend my mother a little bit?"

Zhou's eyes lit up, "What's your idea?"

"Mom, if you add up your dowry, you should be able to make up this ten thousand taels of silver."

"Don't even think about it. This is my last silver for retirement. I can't give it all. I can only give out a thousand taels of silver at most, and you can give me the rest."

Jiang Ruanxi sneered. In her last life, when the Hou family got the bill for Chunhua House, Mrs. Zhou directly asked her to use the money to redeem Lin Feng. She foolishly used her own dowry subsidy to redeem Lin Feng.

After resurrecting her life, she would never be so stupid again.

Jiang Ruanxi's face showed embarrassment, "Mother, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I can't help. Others have already known about you using my dowry to stick to the Marquis. My second uncle just now You've seen it when you're angry. If someone knows about it, my eldest brother spent my money. If word gets out, what will others think of our Hou Mansion?"

After all, his dowry was used to finance Lin Ningkun's future. After all, the two of them were husband and wife. At most, others would think that he was a softie. But Lin Feng's relationship with him was already separated by a layer. If this spread, the reputation of the Lin family would be greatly affected. But it's really over.

Zhou also understood this truth and looked extremely ugly.

"So it's really not that I don't want to help, it's that I really can't help."

Zhou seemed to be shocked, "Then... what should we do? He is your eldest brother after all. You can't really ignore him, right?"

Jiang Ruanxi felt that it was a good thing that she didn't add insult to injury. It was really weird that Zhou wanted to pay for it herself.

"Mother, I am not refusing to save you. I am helpless."

Jiang Ruanxi showed a helpless expression.
