The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 128 Come and pay back the money

With one hundred taels in his arms, Su Chongzhong did not dare to stay at all and ran all the way back to the Su Mansion.

When we entered the small courtyard, we quickly took a breath.

 “Brother, you go again…”

Su Yuqing saw Su Chongzhong's embarrassed expression and quickly pulled him into the house.

 “Are you gambling again?”

 “Just for today.”

Su Chongzhong rolled his eyes, obviously lying.

Su Yuqing saw through it at a glance, "Brother, didn't mother tell you to stop gambling! I used to live outside and dad didn't come here often, but now what if dad finds you out?"

"I know! What are you talking nonsense about?" Su Chongzhong said in a rough voice, pushing Su Yuqing away. He didn't look like a scholar in the past, but more like a street gangster, "Look!"

 He took out the one hundred tael silver note from his arms, handed it to Su Yuqing, and shook it.

Su Yuqing's eyes lit up, "Brother, where did you get all this money? Did you win gambling?"

You must know that the brother and sister can only get five taels of pocket money from Wen Yiyue every month, and they have never seen so much money at once.

 “This, a rich lady gave it to me.”

 “A rich lady?”

Su Yuqing suddenly sneered and looked Su Chongzhong up and down, "Brother, don't tell me that a young lady likes you like this?"

"I still look down on those ladies from the public. I, Su Chongzhong, will marry a princess in the future!"

Su Chongzhong certainly knew that the other party didn't mean it this way, but he felt very unhappy hearing Su Yuqing's tone.

He is a talented person and the son of Su Hou. There will definitely be many people coming to ask for marriage in the future.

“Then I said I wanted to marry the prince.”

Su Yuqing also followed, and then her face turned gloomy, "I don't know when dad will tell us our identities."

"This matter cannot be rushed." Su Chongzhong came to Su Yuqing's side, "I have something to trouble you with."

"What?"

 “I didn’t get this money for free…”

  —

 Li Mansion.

 Mrs. Li is entertaining some friends.

"I heard that your boy and the eldest lady of the Su family are going to have a wedding soon? But I see why there is no movement in the Li family?"

Mrs. Li frowned and said, "Where did you hear that?"

“It has been spread all over the streets and alleys that Su Waner and your grandson always walk hand in hand on the street. It’s like this. Why don’t you want to get married?”

"No, I've heard about it too. You said that these two children have been engaged for many years anyway, so it would be a good idea to marry them back as soon as possible. This way, someone can share the burden for you."

 Mrs. Li's face didn't look good after the previous sentence, but when she heard the latter sentence, she relaxed slightly.

"Rui'er's marriage is not in a hurry. It has been decided. Now we have to wait for spring."

“That’s true. If you come back with a top score in the examination, you will be even happier. We old sisters will congratulate you first.”

 “I haven’t even written out the eight characters yet.”

Mrs. Li was talking, but her eyes were full of smiles.

 Obviously, the words spoken by the few people in front of her touched her heart.

After seeing off a few people, Mrs. Li lowered her face and called out to Mammy, "Go and find out what's going on with Rui'er and Su Waner? Isn't it shameful enough for them to be hooking up with each other before they are married?" "

"yes."

Mammy was called to leave when she was about to leave.

 “Also, go and get Ruier.”

Mammy responded and then left the yard.

Within a moment, Li Rui hurried over.

“Grandma called my grandson to come over. What’s the matter?”

Li Rui arrived respectfully.

Mrs. Li looked at Li Rui and said slowly: "What have you been doing these days?"

“Going back to my grandma, my grandson is still studying strategy. A new master came to the academy a few days ago and he is very successful in this area. My grandson is studying with him.”

"Really? That's good," Mrs. Li picked up the tea cup and took a sip. "There's not much time until spring. You can go out less these days and let your servants buy it if you need it."

Li Rui was a little puzzled, "Grandma, your grandson always has to go out to socialize, right?"

"I didn't say I wouldn't let you go, but the most important thing now is spring. You should put aside some personal matters between children and children."

Mrs. Li shook her head helplessly. Her grandson was good at everything, but his ears were soft. He had the same virtues as his father and was controlled by a woman.

Li Rui understood something now, "Grandma, are you talking about Wan'er? She will not affect her grandson's study, not to mention Wan'er's talent and learning, you also know it."

“Rui’er, are you too old now to listen to your grandmother’s words?”

 “The grandson doesn’t dare, but the grandson listens to his grandmother.”

Mrs. Li nodded with satisfaction, "That's good, let's go back to study."

"yes."

Li Rui bit his lip and left Mrs. Li's yard.

The nanny who was waiting beside Mrs. Li said, "Old madam, would you like to remind the servants around the young master to pay more attention."

"That's not necessary." Mrs. Li pursed her lips, "Rui'er is young after all. If she is under a lot of pressure, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to discipline her."

Grandma nodded understandingly, after all, this kind of thing has happened before.

 Gambling house.

Su Chongzhong straightened his chest and walked into the workshop.

 “Yo, you guys still dare to come?”

Seeing Su Chongzhong, several gambling thugs came over and surrounded him.

Su Chongzhong calmly took out a few banknotes from his arms and said, "I'm here to pay back the money."

The thugs looked at each other in surprise, did this guy really have a thousand taels?

 “Pay back the money? Come with us.”

Leading people into the backyard, Brother Hu, who had previously led people to beat up Su Chongzhong, was sitting on a lounge chair, leisurely drinking a small drink, and there was a girl beside him who was beating his legs.

This scene of enjoyment came into Su Chongzhong's eyes, making waves in his eyes.

How can such a common person live such a good life?

 “Come to pay back the money?”

 Brother Hu took a sip of wine and looked at Su Chongzhong. After a moment, he stood up and walked to him.

 “Where’s the money?”

Smelling the smell of alcohol on Brother Hu's body, Su Chongzhong couldn't help but take a step back and fumbled with his sleeves, "Here...here."

Seeing stacks of banknotes being taken out, everyone’s eyes lit up.

That's a whole thousand taels.

 “Why are they all banknotes?”

 Brother Hu muttered with some dissatisfaction.

 “I have to go to the bank to change it, and I haven’t collected the money yet!”

 The men quickly stepped forward to sort out the banknotes.

　　Seeing the thousand taels being taken away, Su Chongzhong’s lips became stiff and he said, “Brother Hu, what about my business…”

"Don't worry, Brother Hu will keep his word. If you don't owe money, no one will know your identity." Brother Hu's eyes flashed and he glanced at Su Chongzhong, "I think you are quite cheerful, so be it. , go and set up a table, and all your gambling money today will be put into my account."

Su Chongzhong was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Brother Hu!"

 After saying that, he couldn’t wait to return to the gambling house.
