"W-what?" Ji Zehai's expression changed instantly. "You want an IOU, and interest?"
Before Shen Ningyuan could speak, Shen Potian asked angrily: “You owe so much money, and you want some interest, is that too much?”
Just as Ji Zehai was about to say "that's a bit too much", Shen Haobai looked at him mockingly.
He asked coldly, "Lord Ji, do you really want to pay back the money?"
Ji Zehai said hurriedly: "Of course, of course, since you acknowledge this debt, you must really want to pay it back."
Shen Haobai immediately asked: "Since you really want to pay back the money, is there any problem with writing an IOU?"
Ji Zehai: “…”
The problem is that he doesn't want to pay back the money.
Seeing that Ji Zehai didn't speak, Shen Potian asked on the spot: "What does it mean to be silent? Don't you want to pay back the money?"
"Of course not, the money will definitely be returned!"
"Then write an IOU!"
“…”
After a moment of silence, Ji Zehai secretly gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll fight!"
After saying this, Ji Zehai winked at Manager Xu beside him and ordered in a deep voice: "Put pen and ink on!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."
Manager Xu was the new manager carefully selected by Ji Zehai after Uncle Chen's death.
He immediately understood what Ji Zehai meant and turned to walk out of the hall.
Seeing this, Ji Zehai couldn't help feeling proud.
In his study, there is a special kind of ink, which will turn the words written with it into transparent after a long time.
Once the IOU becomes invalid and the Marquis's Mansion refuses to acknowledge the debt, they won't have to pay back the money.
Humph, luckily he was prepared!
The Shen family is a group of fools who only know how to use brute force.
Fight with him?
Still a little tender!
Just when Ji Zehai was feeling very proud, Shen Ningyuan suddenly called out to Manager Xu.
He said calmly, "No need to write anything. I've already prepared the IOU. Your Majesty, just sign and seal it."
"What? You even prepared an IOU!"
This time, Ji Zehai was completely shocked.
He stared at Chen Ningyuan in astonishment, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Shen Ningyuan ignored his shock and turned to Lan Bo who was standing beside him. "Lan Bo, take out the IOU and show it to Lord Ji."
"Yes, young lady."
Lan Bo responded, opened the account book, took out a piece of rice paper, and handed it to Ji Zehai respectfully.
"My Lord, please take a look."
Ji Zehai stretched out his hand tremblingly and took the IOU from Lambert.
After looking carefully, he saw the amount on the IOU was five hundred and ten thousand taels.
Ji Zehai's eyes widened instantly and his heart beat faster with anger.
He clenched the IOU tightly in his hands, wishing he could tear it to pieces right there and then.
It turns out that Shen Ningyuan had planned everything from the very beginning!
She deliberately let Lambert make a mistake in rounding the numbers so that she could point out the mistake, thereby indirectly admitting the mistake.
Therefore, what Shen Ningyuan wanted at the beginning was 510,000 taels!
After figuring it all out, Ji Zehai suddenly felt his blood rushing up and his chest almost exploded!
What a Shen Ningyuan!
She used the strategy of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger just right!
Seeing Ji Zehai like this, Shen Ningyuan did not hide the sneer on his face.
He asked briskly, "My Lord, you've been staring at the IOU for a long time, but is there anything wrong?"
Ji Zehai gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words: "No! Yes!"
"Since there is none, then please sign it, my Lord."
As he spoke, Shen Ningyuan gave Lan Bo a look.
Lan Bo took out a brush dipped in ink and handed it to Ji Zehai.
His attitude remained respectful: "Please sign, my Lord."
He looked at the brush handed to him, then at Shen Ningyuan's smug face, and finally met the eager gazes of Shen Potian and his son.
Ji Zehai took a deep breath.
He took the brush, gritted his teeth, and scribbled the three characters "Ji Zehai".
Then he placed the brush heavily on the table.
"Signed, now you are satisfied!"
Ji Zehai gritted his teeth, his face ferocious.
Shen Ningyuan remained unmoved, her tone still calm: "It's not over yet, the Marquis still needs to press a handprint."
"you--"
Ji Zehai was completely furious. He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, "Okay, I'll press it!"
As he spoke, Ji Zehai raised his hand, bit his thumb hard, and then pressed his fingerprint heavily on the name on the IOU.
Ji Zehai looked at Shen Ningyuan fiercely: "I've signed my name and pressed my fingerprints. Are you satisfied?"
Facing Ji Zehai's anger, Shen Ningyuan remained calm.
He gently reminded: "My Lord, we have prepared ink, you don't have to take a bite."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lambert slowly took out the ink pad and handed it to Ji Zehai.
"you--"
"you--"
This time, Ji Zehai couldn't hold it back anymore.
The blood and energy surged up, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out.
"Sister, be careful!"
Shen Haobai was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and quickly rushed in front of Shen Ningyuan.
He swung out his wide sleeves to block the flow of blood.
After Ji Zehai spat out the blood, his vision suddenly went dark and he fell straight back.
After Chen cleaned up the dowry to be returned to Shen Ningyuan, she immediately went to the front hall.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Ji Zehai vomiting blood and falling to the ground.
"My Lord!"
Chen rushed over anxiously, threw herself on Ji Zehai, and wailed hoarsely, "My Lord, are you okay? Don't scare me, my Lord!"
Then he looked at the servants beside him and shouted angrily, "What are you still standing there for? Can't you see that the Marquis has fainted? Hurry and carry him back to the courtyard!"
