Chapter 422: Ma Family Follow-up

"Haha, Master Ma, this is the dowry you returned, but it is missing one-third. Are you trying to covet my Xue family's wealth?"

Looking at Xue Jingxiu's gloomy expression, Ma Yanjie's face became stiff and cold sweat broke out.

"Well, Dean Xue, these are all we can offer now. Please give me some time. I will sell everything I can at home and give you cash. Is that okay?"

There was nothing he could do. He was blinded by money and lost control, so he started spending lavishly.

As a result, more and more money was spent, but there was little income in the mansion. Even if they sold all the money in the Ma family, they still couldn't pay back the one-third of the dowry!

The only solution now is to postpone it again and again.

"Oh, Master Ma, you are really calculating." Xue Jingxiu didn't buy his rhetoric. "You, Ma Yanjie, have no family background. If you hadn't relied on studying to pass the imperial examinations, based on your background, you would have had to work hard to support your family by farming in the village all your life."

"I can't count on you to pay back the remaining one-third of your dowry in my lifetime. Your salary is not even enough to support you, let alone the whole mansion."

"Then what do you want to do?" Ma Yanjie gave up and asked him to pay back the money, but he didn't have it anyway.

Xue Jingxiu was really so angry that he laughed.

As a scholar, he really couldn't find a way to deal with this kind of scoundrel for a while.

GuaGua System: [RanRan, you go ahead. 】

Luo Ranran couldn't wait to make a move, and waved to the shadow guards, "Go, sell everything that can be sold in the Ma Mansion as quickly as possible."

"Yes, Princess."

More than twenty shadow guards appeared out of nowhere, and under the leadership of Ying Yi, they broke into the Ma Mansion in the blink of an eye.

"You, what are you going to do?" Ma Yanjie was anxious. He was very careful and specially hid a sum of gold, silver and jewelry in the mansion, for fear that he would be left with nothing without Xue Zhuoying's dowry.

Now, Princess Zhaoyang has cut off the source of his trouble. No matter how many schemes and plots he has, they are useless.

Luo Ranran chuckled, "What? Of course it is only natural to pay back debts. Sir Ma, do you want to be a deadbeat? Or do you want to be nailed to the pillar of shame and spurned by the people of Tianqi?"

Ma Yanjie: “…”

No, he didn't think of anything.

Seeing Lai Pi speechless, the Xue family felt extremely happy and hurriedly expressed their gratitude to Luo Ranran.

Luo Ranran gave advice to the Xue family.

"Grandpa Dean, there are many servants and concubines in the Ma Mansion. You can have them sold off, and at least you can get some money back."

"Ran Ran knows that you have a kind heart. If they have the money to redeem themselves, there is no need to sell them off. You can also feel more at ease."

Xue Jingxiu nodded, indicating that this was a good idea.

"Besides, that little bit of money is not enough to pay back your Xue family's money. So, I will tell my uncle the emperor tomorrow that from now on, all of Ma Yanjie's salary will be given to you, and he will be left with 200 copper coins to live on until all the money of the Xue family is paid back."

"Oh, not only does he have to pay back his debts, but also Zheng Chunhua and Ma Zhenbing. Either find them jobs and you are responsible for taking the monthly salary, or sell them off. Don't worry, this princess allows them to be sold off. If anyone has any objections, come to this princess."

Xue Jingxiu: “…”

The idea was clearly beyond etiquette, but it was extremely exciting, so he did it.

Luo Ranran: "As for Xue Zhuoying, you guys can handle it on your own!"

Luo Ranran didn't have much to say about the hardcore love-brain. Why? Although she had severed ties with the Xue family, her blood ties could not be severed.

Family love is very complicated~

Who knows, one day, the Xue family will feel sorry for her and start to give her warmth~

Well, today’s melon-eating is almost over.

Seeing that there was nothing to see anymore, the crowd of onlookers went back home one after another. The children, both big and small, who were good friends with Luo Ranran, said goodbye to her reluctantly and with tears in their eyes.

They could meet tomorrow, but they acted like it was a life-and-death separation, making the adults laugh and cry.

Follow-up.

The Ma Mansion was sold out, and Ma Yanjie was left homeless, penniless, and with nothing left.

He originally planned to drive away Zheng Chunhua and the bastard Ma Zhenbing, but now, he has lost everything and has to work hard to pay off his debts.

His life was already in trouble, so how could he let the mother and son go? He wanted to vent all the humiliation he had suffered on them.

It was not until this time that he finally remembered the three daughters he had married off.

He didn't care about his face anymore. He just wanted his three daughters to buy him a house so that he wouldn't have to live on the streets.

Ma Yanjie's three daughters.

When they were young, they longed for his father's love. As they grew older, they understood more and more, and they saw more clearly their father's cold-bloodedness and their mother's meanness.

Reality is cruel.

The heart doesn't grow cold overnight.

Their daughters are just tools used by their fathers to win over the powerful and seek personal gain!

They completely ignored their true thoughts and feelings and arbitrarily decided their marriage matters, as if they were objects that could be manipulated and traded at will.

This behavior not only deeply hurts their feelings, but also tramples on and insults their personal dignity!

Now, their father brought Zheng Chunhua, who had cheated on him, and the bastard couple to ask for money, which really made them sick to death.

The three daughters gathered together. The eldest and second sisters were illegitimate daughters of the Ma family, and the third sister was the legitimate daughter of the Ma family, born to Ma Yanjie and Zheng Chunhua.

However, to this day, Ma Yanjie still fails to see the situation clearly. When facing his three daughters, he even tries to put on the image of a superior and majestic father.

He seemed to have forgotten that his three daughters were married and were no longer the obedient girls who followed their parents' orders.

"You three sisters, each of you give me two thousand taels, and buy me a large mansion with three entrances."

The eldest sister's eyes were cold, and she seemed to be smiling, "Oh, then do you have to find a few servants to serve Dad, and give you a few concubines?"

Ma Yanjie narrowed his eyes and said, "It's not impossible."

"Dad, you are dreaming, aren't you?" The second sister said sarcastically, "Daydreaming is good, but it's not realistic~"

"You..." Ma Yanjie was so angry that his face turned red. He wanted to scold his disobedient daughter, but when he saw the guards standing on both sides of the room, he forced his words back.

There is no way, when you are under someone's roof you have to bow your head.

He started to act like a rogue, "You can see that my family is homeless. If you don't give us money and buy a house, don't blame us for living in your house shamelessly."

The second sister covered her lips and laughed, "I don't have any objection, but I don't know if the guards in my house have any objection~"

This is her home, she will not let these annoying things stay in the house.

The man she married had no achievements, he was just a businessman, more than 20 years older than her, and could be her father.

At the beginning, it was because my father was greedy for money.

Against her will, she was married to an old man.

Not only is he an old man, he also has more than a dozen sons and daughters, many of whom are even a few years older than her.

She became their stepmother.

How ironic.

Fortunately, the old man loves her and provides her with the best food, clothing and other necessities. She doesn’t know what will happen in the future, but for now, she is living a good life in her husband’s family.
