Although I was unwilling, after thinking about it carefully, I realized that what Chen said made sense.
If it weren't for Chen Moer, the Marquis' Mansion would have been turned upside down by those debt collectors today!
Thinking of this, Ji Zehai shut his mouth tactfully.
At this moment, Chen Moer didn't want to waste any more words. She calmly looked at the mess on the ground and said softly, "Aunt, I'll leave the rest to you. I'm tired and will go back to my room to rest first!"
After saying this, he turned and left without waiting for the two to respond.
Ji Zehai pointed at her back, his face flushed with anger, and angrily pointed at Chen: "Look, this is your good niece, she doesn't look like she's living under someone else's roof at all!"
Chen looked helpless and sighed, "My Lord, that's not the way to say it. You know, if it weren't for Mo'er, our mansion would have been completely ruined and we would have moved back to our hometown in Youyang long ago!"
"you--"
Ji Zehai was choked and speechless. With no place to vent his anger, he kicked Chen in anger.
Chen screamed in pain, her eyes red, and she looked at Ji Zehai with grievance.
"Clean up this place before dinner, or I'll punish you!"
Ji Zehai threw down these words, without giving Chen a chance to argue, and turned around and left the front hall angrily.
After he left, Chen looked at the messy scene in front of her, her heart filled with resentment.
Gnashing her teeth, she cursed in a low voice: "It's all the fault of that bitch Shen Ningyuan. If she had just handed over the dowry, it wouldn't have turned out like this!"
Afterwards, Chen cursed and ordered the servants to clean up the mess.
…………
After the Marquis' Mansion sent the debt collectors away, Shen Ningyuan also left Ningle Tower.
Ji Yunnuo stood at the door of the restaurant, his eyes closely following Shen Ningyuan's figure.
It wasn't until her back completely disappeared from his sight that he came to his senses.
Ji Yunnuo was about to turn around when Lao Guai's teasing voice suddenly came from behind him: "Huh, if I'm guessing correctly, she's the one you've been thinking about for two years?"
Ji Yunnuo paused, and without turning his head, he said, "She is my sister-in-law now, don't say anything careless and affect her reputation."
When Lao Guai heard this, he snorted disdainfully, "Sister-in-law? You even gave Ningle Tower to her, and you still want to cheat me?"
As he spoke, Lao Guai suddenly thought of something, and his tone was filled with a hint of mockery: "Chen Ningyuan, Ning Yuan... Ning Le? Good boy, your little tricks need to be more obvious!"
Ji Yunnuo remained silent, which was considered as his agreement with Lao Guai's words.
But even if he didn't say anything, Lao Guai continued to shake his head and said helplessly: "Ji Yunnuo, you, you are smart all your life but confused for a moment. This time you have completely fallen flat on your face. I think others don't like you at all."
"She is my sister-in-law. The biggest problem is that she likes me." Ji Yunnuo said calmly.
Lao Guai sneered: "Humph! Ji Yunnuo, can you really treat her as your sister-in-law?"
Ji Yunnuo's face turned cold instantly, and he said in a cold voice: "Old Guai, you talk too much!"
Lao Guai snorted indifferently and retorted, "I just talk too much, so what? You've already given Ningle Building to someone else. You're no longer my boss. Do you still want to control me?"
After saying that, Lao Guai left Ji Yunnuo and turned around and walked into Ningle Tower.
As he walked, he hummed: "I have not achieved my ambition in life, but my love comforts me..."
Listening to Lao Guai's humming, Ji Yunnuo stood alone at the door of Ningle Building.
Looking at the direction where Shen Ningyuan left, he fell into deep thought.
After a while, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, muttering softly, "This restaurant was originally prepared for her, but it was only half a year late that it came into her hands."
After saying that, Ji Yunnuo also turned and entered the restaurant.
About an incense stick's time later, a few more people hurried into Ningle Tower.
Ji Yunnuo looked at the wounds on their faces and asked softly, "Is everything done?"
After hearing this, these people shook their heads helplessly.
Seeing this, Ji Yunnuo's face paused.
The leader said with a frustrated look on his face, "Master, let alone the study in the Marquis' Mansion, we can't even enter the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion. There is no chance of finding what you want!"
"Was it Chen Moer who stepped forward to stop it?" Ji Yunnuo asked calmly and casually.
"Um."
Several people nodded, and one of them continued, "She just stood there holding a long sword, and those debt collectors were so scared that they dared not even breathe."
"Not long after, the Ji family reported it to the authorities. Once the Kyoto prefect's men arrived, the situation got out of control. We had no chance to take action."
As they spoke, several people knelt on one knee, their faces full of guilt: "Master, we have failed to do our job well, please punish us!"
Ji Yunnuo glanced at them and said with a relaxed expression: "Chen Mo'er has already shown up, so of course you can't succeed. It's okay, you can go down first!"
Even though Ji Yunnuo had said this, the few of them still didn't dare to get up and leave.
The leader looked at Ji Yunnuo cautiously and asked in a trembling voice, "Master, are you really okay?"
Ji Yunnuo raised his eyebrows and asked in a cold voice, "What else? Do you want me to take off your heads?"
As soon as these words came out, several people were so scared that they quickly shut their mouths.
He got up quickly and left in a hurry.
After they left, Ji Yunnuo poured himself a glass of wine, brought it to his mouth and drank it slowly.
After a moment, he smiled softly and said, "I wanted to fish in troubled waters, but I didn't expect the government to intervene. It seems that the transaction with my sister-in-law will have to be brought forward..."
After he finished speaking, Ji Yunnuo exerted force suddenly.
The wine glass in his hand shattered instantly.
…………
On the other side, Shen Ningyuan left Ningle Tower and took Lan Yin and Lu Ying to the busiest street market in the capital.
After casually buying some small things, Shen Ningyuan pretended to be casual and came to a meat stall.
Shen the butcher had just returned from the Marquis's residence. When he saw a customer coming, he hurried out of the house.
However, after seeing Lan Yin beside Shen Ningyuan, Shen the Butcher was suddenly startled and blurted out: "It's... it's you, the girl who gave me money and asked me to take the creditors to the Marquis' Mansion to collect the debt!"
Lan Yin looked at Shen the butcher calmly and said, "The one who gave you the money was my daughter. She has something to ask you."
Upon hearing this, Shen the Butcher quickly turned his gaze to Shen Ningyuan.
She was wearing a veil and her face could not be seen clearly, but she had an excellent temperament and exuded a cool aura.
Shen the butcher instantly felt respect and immediately asked respectfully, "Miss, do you have any other instructions?"
“Thank you for your hard work in going to the Marquis’ Mansion to collect debts today.” Shen Ningyuan said in a light tone.
After hearing this, Shen the butcher quickly waved his hands and shook his head: "It's not hard, it's not hard. The young lady gave me money to let me collect my debt. How can this be considered hard work? If it weren't for the young lady, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to get my money back!"
As he said this, Shen the butcher couldn't help but sigh.
These days, the one who owes debts is the boss.
