The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife: The Sly Lady
Chapter 23 Paying Off Debt

“Thank you for your concern, Madam, but we are ready for it!” Court Staff Zhuyu flicked his finger with a smile. From around the corner, dozens of large horse carriages appeared and each carriage was accompanied by 3 or 4 guards in battle robes, holding knives and swords! 

“Managers know that the amount of debt is large. To prevent accidents, they have notified the bank and asked them to bring people and transportation here and will deposit money directly to the bank. ” 

Murong Ruo's face turned green and his fists clenched tightly behind his sleeves. They had already guessed that he would say that and thus had planned such a trap for him to jump in. Hate so!

"Mrs Song, can we settle the account now?" Court Staff Zhuyu asked softly; his eyes shining with unseen happiness made Murong Ruo burn with anger, and could not wait to tear this triumphant and provocative face apart. 

The crowd was watching from the sidelines so Murong Ruo could not kick the commotion. He held back his anger and said, “Of course. Laner, bring some to the cash to withdraw the money! "His calm voice showed a slight clenching of teeth. 

"Yes, Mom!" Lan'er's maid bowed and said towards the 6 shopkeepers at the bottom of the stairs, "Gentlemen, please follow me!" 

"Thank you for your effort!" 6 The shopkeeper politely bowed and invited Huitong Bank Staff and stepped into the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

Seeing the way they thought it was their right to do so, Song Qingyan resentfully stomped her feet. He hurriedly walked towards Murong Ruo and lowered his voice, “Mother, are we really going to settle all accounts. We don't have much money in the Mansion! ” 

In recent years, he had often followed Murong Ruo in and out of the Zhuyu Court, the silk shop, and had always taken many things every time. It will definitely be a very large number.

"I know!" Murong Ruo's eyes shone coldly, "But the fact that the Wu'an Marquis household owed them 10 years of payment would be widespread. If we don't settle the bill completely today, we will prove to them that we didn't settle our bill and will be laughed at by the Capital people, he said, ridiculed by the nobles and wherever we go we will be directed by the people until we cannot walk with our heads high. The Wu'an Marquis household would not be able to continue living in the Capital. ” 

“ Seriously it ?! ”Song QIngyan frowned and his arrogant little face drowned. He grumbled furiously, “Grandmother is too much. If he wants money, he has to say it. Why would he let the six shopkeepers make a fuss and make us, the Wu'an Marquis household, lose face? It would also not reflect well on him ... "

"Do you think that Zhuyu Court and the antique shop are still managed by your grandmother?" Murong Ruo glanced at him and sneered. 

Song Qingyan stopped, “Mother means that Zhuyu Court, Jinxiu antique store and silk warehouse have all changed hands. Last time she conspired against me and took back all the jewels I had chosen from my aunt's dowry. This time he was even worse; he was actually conspiring against the entire Wu'an Marquis household ... " 

" Don't say much! "Murong Ruo waved his hand and cut it off. He took out many keys from his sleeve and gave them, “Quickly go to the treasury and pick up sets of jade jewelry, southern pearl jewelry, and red emerald jewelry ... take it to Duobao Court and exchange it for cash ... ”

Song Qingyan listened to the list of jewelry names and widened her eyes in surprise, “Mother, that's your dowry. You like them the most! ”And even promised that when she married, they would be given to her as her dowry. How can they be sold? 

“For ten years we have taken at least one million items value from Zhuyu Court and those 6 stores. The money we have in the Mansion, including checks, won't add up much. We have to pawn these jewels to raise money ... " 

Murong Ruo said softly, his eyes lit up coldly and lightly patted Song Qingyan on the shoulder," Don't worry. When we have crossed the hurdles in front of us, Mother will redeem them all to give them to you for your dowry! " 

Murong Ruo looked at the guards from the Huitong Bank who were walking here and there. The handkerchief in her hand twisted and her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly - when Qingyan was forced by Murong Xue to return Chen's jewelry, she thought it was just a quarrel between the little girls and paid no attention. 

He had never imagined that just a few days later, Murong Xue had not only taken the shop action from his mother, but had also attacked him unexpectedly, instead, forcing her to return everything she had swallowed from the 6 shops, and even damaging her reputation, caused her to lose face in front of everyone. What a trick!

This weak and sickly niece was definitely not a simple character. It seemed like he needed to find time to return to the Marquis House and meet his nephew whom he had never seen before! 

Bright sunlight shone onto the surface of the water, reflecting a hint of golden light. A gentle breeze caressed and carried the sky filled with rain flower petals. 

Murong Xue was wearing a pink robe made of thin cloth and was gracefully seated in front of a round table under a viburnum flower tree. He sipped his tea lightly and casually counted the bills.

The six managers stood not far from him and looked at the large amount of money on the bill. They were neither envious nor envious, only respect. They had used all sorts of means to demand payment for the past ten years and had not even allowed the Wu'an Marquis household to spit a single cent. After Murong Xue's plan was implemented, the Wu'an Marquis household hastily returned all the money owed. So brilliant! 

When they stood at the corner of the street and saw the cart carrying the silver coins drawn to the Huitong Bank, they were still stunned. The Wu'an Marquis household had so much money yet they continued to delay their payment. What terrible characters they have. As they left the street corner, they heard people discussing and criticizing how bad the characters of the people in the Wu'an Marquis household were.

“Utang has been fully completed. You all have worked hard. Please give money to everyone. Managers, staff, everyone has a hand! ”Murong Xue finished counting the bills and confirmed that there was no mistake before taking out 6 bills and putting them on the table. 

The six managers walked one by one and took the bill. When they saw the amount on the bill, they all smiled brightly, "Thank you very much, Young Madam!" After managing the store for so many years, this was the first time they had seen so many bonuses. Young Madam is very generous. 

“If the profit of the stores for this year is 10% more than last year. I will also give you a big bonus at the end of the year! ”Murong Xue smiled lightly, like a hundred flowers in bloom.

The manager's eyes immediately shone. Young Madam is generous. If he said that the bonus was huge, it was definitely not a small amount of taels! " 

" Thank you very much, Young Madam. We will definitely do our best in managing the shops and will definitely not disappoint Young Madam. ”The managers solemnly promised and walked out of Luoxue Court with gratitude. 

Murong Ye quickly walked forward and saw a thick pile of money, full of astonishment, "Sister, how can you think of such a method to collect debts?" 

His sister easily decided what was causing the managers so great a headache and what even he thought was hard but could not find a solution. So brilliant!

Murong Xue took a sip of tea, her eyes were bright and active, “ the Wu'an Marquis household was a noble family and attached great importance to their reputation. They would definitely not let there be any flaws on themselves. When I asked the shopkeepers to read the accounts at the entrance of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, it was airing their dirty laundry. If the Wu'an Marquis household did not want to continue airing their dirty laundry, then they might obediently pay! " 

" I see! "Murong Ye nodded with half understanding. His gaze turned bright as he looked at the thick pile of banknotes, "Sister, since you have a lot of money, give me ten thousand taels to spend!"
