Tai Jingwan watched helplessly as her husband married a second wife, only to discover that she could hear the inner voice of the new wife, Madam Jiang.
When Marquis Gu was thinking of using h...
"My third brother usually has no worries about food and clothing at home, so why does he suddenly have foreign debts?" Tai Jingwan exclaimed.
"They came from Zhuangyuanfang." Gu Huaizhi said this with gritted teeth.
He also didn't know when his third brother became addicted to gambling.
"How could this happen?" Tai Jingwan looked at Gu Mingzhi on the stretcher with disbelief, thinking to herself, this blow was still not light enough.
"Have you discussed it? Why don't you take out the silver quickly? Otherwise I will chop off one of his fingers!" Niu San shouted angrily at the person in front of him.
"Brother, save me!" Gu Mingzhi shouted in fear when he heard this.
"Big brother, could you please tell me how much silver my brother-in-law owes you?" Jiang Jinyue hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"One hundred thousand taels of gold." Niu San made a number of ten with his fingers and said proudly.
"What? One hundred thousand taels of gold?" Even though Jiang Jinyue came from a royal merchant family, she couldn't believe it at this moment. How could Gu Mingzhi owe so much money?
"Stop talking nonsense and take the silver." Niu San said impatiently.
...
...
"Third brother, do you really owe them so much money?" Tai Jingwan asked Gu Mingzhi with a shocked look on her face.
Gu Huaizhi was standing aside, his face couldn't be any darker.
One hundred thousand taels of gold? Even if they sold their mansion, they wouldn't get that much money.
"Third brother, you are crazy. One hundred thousand taels of gold is not worth it even if I sell you!" When Gu Nianshu heard one hundred thousand taels of gold, she couldn't help but ran out and shouted.
Now, how can the Marquis' Mansion come up with so much silver and money?
"I don't have it!" Gu Mingzhi shook his head. He didn't understand how it got to 100,000 taels of gold.
Isn’t it ten thousand taels of gold?
"Niu San, you lied to me. We agreed on ten thousand taels of gold, how come it became one hundred thousand taels of gold? Besides, didn't you already take the painting away?" Gu Mingzhi felt that this was the Gu family, and he seemed to have regained his confidence.
"What ten thousand taels of gold? I just asked someone to go to Xuan Bao Zhai to ask. If this painting of the Heavenly King Delivering a Child is authentic, it is worth one hundred thousand taels of gold! You just gave me a fake one to scare me?" Niu San said angrily, and then kicked Gu Mingzhi.
"Impossible, Uncle Jiu has seen it." Gu Mingzhi looked at Niu San and wondered if he had replaced the painting.
"Sister, what are they talking about?" Jiang Jinyue asked with some confusion.
"I don't know either, but why does it sound like Master Wu Daozi's painting of the Heavenly King Delivering a Child?" Tai Jingwan looked at Gu Huaizhi in puzzlement and said.
She didn't want to miss the look on the jerk's face.
Upon hearing this, Gu Huaizhi's face couldn't get any darker. After all, Wu Daozi's Painting of Heavenly King Delivering a Child was Tai Jingwan's dowry, but Gu Mingzhi actually took it out to gamble!
Now, Tai Jingwan is still here, and Gu Huaizhi just feels very embarrassed about this matter.
"Sister, I heard it too. They were talking about the painting of Heavenly King Delivering a Child. Do you know this painting too?" Jiang Jinyue looked at Tai Jingwan with suspicion, thinking to herself, a family as rough as the Gu family probably wouldn't collect antique calligraphy and paintings, right?
So where did this thing come from?
Considering that the Gu family was able to use Tai Jingwan's dowry to propose to her, it is not surprising that Gu Mingzhi would use Tai Jingwan's dowry to gamble.
However, Jiang Jinyue was also very curious about how Gu Huaizhi would end up.
Jiang Jinyue was very sure that the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion could not afford the 100,000 gold.
If there was anyone in the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion who could come up with so much silver, it would only be Tai Jingwan, besides her. No one else could come up with it.
"Sister, you're not going to help him, are you?" Jiang Jinyue pulled Tai Jingwan, not wanting her to do anything stupid again.
[That scumbag Gu Huaizhi, wouldn't he want to use Sister Tai's dowry to fill the hole for his gambling brother? No, I must stop Sister Tai. 】
Tai Jingwan patted Jiang Jinyue's hand and said nothing.
But my heart feels warm.
"Go back quickly." Gu Huaizhi frowned and shouted at Gu Nianshu.
"Brother, you are not the head of the family and you don't know the situation in our house. How can we come up with 100,000 gold now?" Gu Nianshu was afraid that Gu Huaizhi would agree, so she said anxiously.
"I understand. Go in quickly." Gu Huaizhi said it again patiently.
"Sister Nianshu, please go in quickly." Tai Jingwan said gently.
"Husband, the most urgent thing is to redeem our third brother as soon as possible." Tai Jingwan said sympathetically.
[Oh my god!] Is this woman crazy? Would she want to use her dowry to save this good-for-nothing bastard? 】
Jiang Jinyue was so angry that she jumped up and down after hearing this.
Tai Jingwan had already asked Liuli to replace all her dowry with fakes. Now, she wanted to take out all these things and let everyone find out that her dowry was fake. Only then could she lift the veil of the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion.
If you use, no, it should be said that you stole your dowry, you must pay it back.
"Master, is the young lady of the Tai family really going to redeem this bastard?" Ming Li and Wei Xiuyuan were watching this scene.
Mingli and Wei Xiuyuan are both martial artists, and their hearing is much better than others.
At this moment, Mingli also understood Tai Jingwan's words. At this moment, he really wanted to shake his master's head. What was so good about the young lady of the Tai family?
Her husband's family treated her like this, yet they were still eager to give her money.
Is this what it means to be stupid and have a lot of money?
"She must have some purpose."
For some reason, Wei Houyuan didn't believe that Tai Jingwan would do such a stupid thing.
She must want to do something through this.
"Master, in my opinion, it must be that Miss Tai loves her husband too much and is willing to pay the money for him." The more Mingli spoke, the darker Wei Houyuan's face became.
Unfortunately, Mingli's eyes were only focused on the Marquis Xuanping's mansion, and he didn't notice the look in his master's eyes that wanted to kill someone.
Jiang Jinyue on the side was anxious and angry. She really didn't understand why Sister Tai, who seemed to be a very smart woman on weekdays, was so confused at this moment?
Does she really want to pay money?
"Sister-in-law, you are the best. Please save me." When Gu Mingzhi heard Tai Jingwan's words, he felt there was hope and quickly asked Tai Jingwan for help.
"Don't worry about it. He should learn a lesson from this and remember it long ago!" Gu Huaizhi glared at Gu Mingzhi and said.
It's not that he didn't want to save her, but even if he sold all the belongings in the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion, he still couldn't come up with 100,000 taels of gold. Of course, he also had Tai Jingwan's dowry, but this was outside the mansion. As long as Tai Jingwan didn't ask, Gu Huaizhi wouldn't dare to ask. He was also taking a gamble.
I bet Tai Jingwan won’t be able to bear it anymore, and I bet Tai Jingwan will willingly pay the money to redeem Gu Mingzhi.
"Husband, don't say that out of anger. Mingzhi is your brother. We should save him no matter what." Tai Jingwan said with a look of disapproval.
Gu Huaizhi was very pleased to hear this, but he still said with a wronged look on his face: "But our mansion really can't afford 100,000 taels of gold."
