"Madam." Butler Lian said to Mrs. Lian.

"How is the old lady?" asked Mrs. Lian.

I heard that after she left, even the old lady was so angry that her face turned pale and she said she felt uncomfortable.

Later, the imperial physician was called over.

Even the imperial physician was helpless, and it was only after Xie Yunjiao gave Old Madam Lian acupuncture that she felt better.

When Mrs. Lian heard what Butler Lian said, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

"It's this Xie Yunjiao again!" Mrs. Lian said gritting her teeth.

When she learned that the old lady had something to do, she wanted to go over, but Lian Yan's people told her not to go out. She had no choice but to ask the people around her to deliver the tranquilizers in her room to her.

This tranquilizing pill is not so easy to get. It is not available for purchase outside now. It is hard to find one!

Xie Yunjiao had no idea how long she had to kneel before the Buddha to beg for the tranquilizer.

Just for a chance to show off, Xie Yunjiao saved the old lady with acupuncture and returned her pills intact.

Deprived her of the opportunity to perform!

"Madam, the old lady and the master are both angry now. Please listen to the master and stay in the room." said the housekeeper Lian.

Mrs. Lian raised her teacup angrily and looked at Butler Lian. She was about to throw it at him, but after thinking it over, she held back.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be like this today." Mrs. Lian said.

Butler Lian looked at Mrs. Lian guiltily and said, "Madam, it's my fault this time. I did this without asking clearly, and it made them suspicious of me."

He had thought that he could eliminate Xie Yunjiao and the others in one go, so he took the risk.

But how could he have imagined that Xie Yunjiao would switch the marriage for him, causing him to lose both his wife and his army!

After the incident of Mrs. Lian being put in solitary confinement, the Lian Er family became much more well-behaved, and Mrs. Lian Er even stayed obediently in her own yard, not daring to go anywhere.

That day, Lian Er ran back covered in wounds, begging his wife for help.

When the Second Wife heard this, she almost fainted.

Lian Er owed someone one hundred taels of silver. Now the creditor came to his house and found out that he was the second master of the Lian family.

The creditors said that if Lian Er didn't pay back the money, they would make it public and let everyone know that the Lian family owed debts.

Then the entire Lian family will be embarrassed!

If my elder brother and mother knew that he was acting as a guarantor for someone and that person ran away, and he became the one who owed the money, they would definitely not pay him back and would even kick his whole family out of the house!

"Madam, you don't want us to be kicked out, do you?" Lian Er said in a panic. "He only gave me three days. If I can't collect a hundred taels within three days..."

Lian Er shuddered. Those people were so cruel. If he really couldn't come up with a hundred taels, he would probably die a miserable death.

Mrs. Lian Er was greedy for money, but she also wanted to make life better for her family.

Now that Lian Er is in trouble, she is also very panicked.

"But we only have sixty taels at home, no more. You're really stupid, even doing something like guaranteeing someone..." Mrs. Lian Er suddenly thought of something and couldn't help muttering, "It must be because someone said a few nice words to you that you forgot your last name!"

Lian Er gave a dry laugh. That was exactly what happened. They'd praised him a few times, then given him a little provocation, saying he was too timid to do it, and then, in a fit of rage, he'd signed the guarantee without thinking.

He had only known that person for a short time, and he was really badly cheated by him.

He didn't dare tell this to his wife, otherwise there might be family changes!

Because Lian Er often got into trouble, everything that could be sold at home was sold, and even Lian Er's wife's dowry was almost sold out.

Part of the sixty taels was the money the mansion gave her to buy New Year's goods, and some was a gift from Xie Yunjiao. She secretly sold them all to save the money.

She had thought that with so much money this year, she could take her children to buy some decent ready-made clothes so that they could look presentable during the New Year and avoid being laughed at by her sister-in-law every year.

But now, for Lian Er, let alone buying clothes, even if he sold her, he might not get that much money.

"What should I do? I'm still short of forty taels!" Lian Er felt a headache.

Forty taels is not a small amount of money. How could one possibly collect so much in just three days?

"Only three days, it's impossible." Mrs. Lian Er shook her head.

"Ask your niece-in-law to borrow it. She is a businesswoman, so she shouldn't be short of this little money." Lian Er said.

Mrs. Lian Er had thought about asking Xie Yunjiao for money, but she had already had a rift with Xie Yunjiao because she did not help Mrs. Lian when she was dealing with Xie Yunjiao and instead turned her guns to help Mrs. Lian.

Recently, Xie Yunjiao has not paid much attention to her and no longer buys her gifts.

She was just thinking about how to repair this relationship, but now the problem has come to her, and it is not easy for her to borrow money from Xie Yunjiao.

"What can I do? I've borrowed from everyone I can," Lian Er said.

"You look so stupid. Everyone knows that you care about your reputation and like to help others without permission. People outside owe you money, but you can't even get a penny back. Who would dare to lend you money?

It’s not stupid!”

Although Mrs. Lian Er cursed Lian Er, she was reluctant to do anything to him.

Lian Jiang happened to pass by, and Mrs. Lian's eyes lit up and she rushed out as if she had thought of something.

"Brother Jiang, come here!" said Mrs. Lian Er.

Lian Jiang was shocked when he saw Lian Er covered in wounds: "Dad, what happened? Why are you injured?"

Lian Er simply told the story of the debt, and Lian Er's wife cried bitterly, which made Lian Jiang's heart twisted into a ball.

"What should we do then?" Lian Jiang said worriedly.

There is no money at home, but he doesn't have any money on hand either.

"Aren't you and your cousin pretty good friends? Ask him to give you two ink sticks so your mother can use them for emergencies," said Mrs. Lian Er.

Lian Jiang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mrs. Lian Er in surprise: "Mom, Doudou and Lian Jin are both my nephews. I can't lie to them."

"You've become stupid from studying, haven't you?" Mrs. Lian Er wanted to take action but couldn't bring herself to do it. "They are so different from you, they're not even of the same generation! But your father and mother are dying now. Do you want to help them or us? It's up to you."

Lian Er also hurriedly said, "If we are kicked out, do you think you can continue to study in the academy? Do you still want to participate in the Spring Examination next year?"

Lian Jiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I understand."

Not long after, Lian Jiang really brought back two new ink sticks. When he saw the words "Zizhuxuan" printed on them, he couldn't help but smile.

"Now we can finally have a peaceful New Year." Lian Er said.
