Daughter of the Prince of Rebirth

Chapter 205
After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper walked straight into the night without even looking at the pale Aunt Zhang...

The strength of Aunt Zhang's whole body seemed to be taken away in an instant, and she collapsed powerlessly on the ground: 11 taels of silver, even if I sell myself, I can't afford so much, what should I do, what should I do...

In Yanyu Pavilion, Murong Yu was sitting at the table, listening to the guards report everything that happened in Lan Yuan truthfully, Aunt Zhang stole 11 taels of silver, she really had a big appetite: "Did Aunt Zhang say where all the money was used? "

"I didn't say anything, but after the shopkeeper left, Aunt Zhang ordered people to go to Yushifu in a hurry..."

Murong Yu smiled softly, put down the teacup in his hand, and touched the account book beside him with his finger: It seems that most of the money was used by Zhang Yushi to clear up the relationship and win people's hearts. Aunt Zhang is smart. If her status is high, the servants of the Hou Mansion will also look at her high. This is the glory of all...

"Continue to stare at Lan Yuan, and see what Auntie Zhang has to do." I still have a move to make, and Auntie Zhang is in such a state of anxiety. I don't know, when my hidden last move makes them worse. Are you going crazy, or just crashing...

The next day, Aunt Zhang woke up early, walking back and forth in the inner room anxiously, wondering when and why would mother come...

"Auntie, Mrs. Yushi is here..." Before the maid outside the door finished speaking, Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up, and she walked out quickly: "Mother, you are finally here..."

Turning her eyes to the little maid, Aunt Zhang coughed lightly: "Go and make two cups of tea."

The little maid left at the sound, and Mrs. Yushi patted Aunt Zhang's hand, smiling kindly: "It's not the first time my mother has come to get money, what are you in a hurry for, our mother and I haven't talked for a long time, let's talk first... ..."

At this time in previous years, Aunt Zhang called her here to give her a lot of money. Therefore, Mrs. Yushi thought that this year was no exception. He ordered someone to report to Yushi's mansion that when his aunt wanted to see Mrs. Yushi, Mrs. Yushi smiled from ear to ear and praised her daughter for her thoughtfulness.

Aunt Zhang sighed heavily: "Mother, I invited you here this time, not to take the silver, but to discuss how to return the silver taels I took before." Then, Aunt Zhang explained everything that happened in Songshou Hall yesterday. I told Mrs. Yushi.

Mrs. Yushi's eyes widened in shock: "What you said is true?" How could it be possible to collect 11 taels of silver in ten days?

"It's true, Murong Yu has already issued an ultimatum to the shopkeeper. If they can't get the missing silver taels, they will all go to Dali Temple. At that time, they can't stand the torture, and they will definitely confess their daughter. Parents will also Being implicated..."

Mrs. Yushi's eyes flickered, and she lowered her voice: "The shopkeepers are all ordinary people, so why don't we do it and keep on killing them all." In this way, there is no need to take 11 taels of silver up.

"No." Aunt Zhang sternly rejected Mrs. Yushi's proposal: "Murong Yu used the prime minister's mansion, there must be guards secretly protecting those shopkeepers, if we send people to assassinate them, not only will we not be able to seal the shopkeepers' mouths, Maybe it will be self-defeating and implicate the entire Yushi Mansion, and by then, Dad's future will be over, and we will have to live the same hard life as before..."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Mrs. Yushi was also in a hurry: "The money in Yushi's mansion is not enough at all. The money for giving gifts and opening up relationships this year has not yet been settled, so how can I use money to make up for the gaps in the shop..."

"In the house, don't you have 1 taels of silver?" Aunt Zhang held out a glimmer of hope, at least let her deal with the urgent need at night.

Apart from sighing, Mrs. Yushi just shook her head: "Your father sent out a lot of expensive gifts in order to open up relationships, let alone 1 taels, even 1000 taels. There are still several important officials who have not given gifts. I thought I took the silver from you and went back to help in an emergency, never thought..." I didn't get a tael of silver, and I had to send it out...

"What can we do?" Aunt Zhang was like an ant on a hot pot, running around anxiously.

Mrs. Yushi sighed heavily: "I'll go back and discuss with your father first, and see if I can get some silver." It is not enough to spend every year, and it is almost impossible to collect money...

Aunt Zhang nodded, she didn't have the strength to speak anymore, and she also knew that Madam Yushi would never return, and she couldn't make up even one tael of silver, so she had to rely on herself to pay off the 11 taels of silver.

After Mrs. Yushi left, Aunt Zhang sat on the chair for a while, and then she came back to her senses. She staggered into the inner room, took the exquisite jewelry box on the dressing table, opened it, and the colorful and exquisite jewelry was dazzling. the human eye.

A bitter smile appeared on Aunt Zhang's well-maintained face. All these jewelry were bought with the 11 taels of silver.

"Green brocade, bring all Miss Er's jewelry, and see if there are any newly made or unworn clothes, and bring them all..."

"Yes!" Lu Jin agreed, and hurried to Yuelin Pavilion.

In Yanyu Pavilion, Murong Yu was sitting at the table reading a book, and the guard came to report: "Aunt Zhang has taken her and Second Miss's jewelry and is going to sell them. There are also many Second Miss' clothes, some of which have not been worn, and some have only been worn once or twice. , it looks like new, and they are going to sell it as new clothes in a tailor shop, and Aunt Zhang also took off all the precious embellishments on their clothes, and is going to exchange them for silver..."

Qin'er gloated and said, "Aunt Zhang is going to sell the pot and sell the iron to return the young lady's money..."

Murong Yu smiled lightly: "Even if all these things are sold, it's only a small amount, and it's still far from 11 taels of silver. However, Aunt Zhang is also smart. Now that the New Year is approaching, many people are buying new clothes. Murong Yu Lin's clothes, no matter the color or style, are suitable for Chinese New Year, and should fetch a good price..."

Qin'er smiled complacently: "Miss, Aunt Zhang is not a tailor. The clothes she sells are bought at lower prices by other tailors, right..."
