Chapter 956: Asking Qiao Hongxi for the Debt
Qiao Hongxi was furious and sneered, "Why are you in such a hurry? Can I blame them? You little slaves, get out of here!"
Song Shi smiled and said, "Mr. Qiao, please come with me to meet our master and young lady. Otherwise, it would not look good for me to go to the Hanlin Academy to collect the debt with the gambling contract tomorrow."
These words were naturally taught to him by Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan.
When he said this, Qiao Hongxi froze.
“You dare!”
Song Shi smiled. Why wouldn’t he dare?
It is only natural to pay back your debts!
Qiao Hongxi cursed a bunch of dirty words in his heart and glared at Song Shi fiercely: "Go!"
He dared not not go.
Otherwise, if Song Shi really took the bet and went to the Hanlin Academy to collect the debt from him, how would he be able to hold his head up in front of his colleagues in the future?
He is well-educated and talented, and there are many people who are jealous of him and exclude him openly or secretly. If they knew about this, wouldn't they make things worse?
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan asked for a private room in a teahouse near the Hanlin Academy, and they were drinking tea and chatting.
When Qiao Hongxi came in and saw this, he became furious again.
How could she deserve this lowly concubine's daughter?
"Mr. Qiao is here, please take a seat! When will Mr. Qiao fulfill his bet?"
Qiao Xuan is not the original owner, nor is she the concubine's daughter who was previously restricted by the Qiao family. Of course, she is not afraid of Qiao Hongxi's gloomy eyes and tense expression.
He wanted her to look at his face, but he probably wouldn't have the chance in the next life!
Hearing her mention this matter, Qiao Hongxi became angry and sneered: "What's the hurry? Haven't you seen silver?"
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Yes, I have seen it, but the money won from the bet with Master Qiao is different! It is clearly written in black and white, Master Qiao should give us a word. Otherwise, we can only go to the Hanlin Academy to ask for it."
"You!" Qiao Hongxi's face became even uglier.
Where is he going to take one thousand taels of silver?
Now he works in the Hanlin Academy, and his monthly salary is only ten taels of silver, and he doesn't get any extra money all year round. He also has to hand over five taels of silver to the public every month, leaving only five taels for himself.
On weekdays, he had to save for a long time to buy some fine writing brushes, inkstones, folding fans, jade pendants, sachets, hairpins, belts and other small items. He relied on his parents to give him private subsidies twice a year.
But he loves those exquisite and beautiful little things. Every time he gets money, he will first buy this or that beautiful thing. He also has various social engagements from time to time. Where would he get the money?
Moreover, a mere lowly concubine's daughter actually dared to threaten him!
Even if he had the money, he would never give it!
Why?
"It was just a joke, why did you take it seriously? Don't forget, I'm your biological brother! Dad and Mom will be back soon, think about how to respond to them when you see them first!"
Qiao Hongxi snorted coldly.
Anyway, there are no outsiders here, so he just acts like a rogue without any hesitation!
Qiao Xuan felt that the most inconvenient thing in this era was not having a mobile phone that could record. People like this deserved to be recorded!
It would also be good to let the world see this face.
Shao Yunduan said calmly, "Even if Lord Qiao and Madam Qiao come to Beijing, what does it have to do with us? This marriage letter was written by you personally, and the elders of the Qiao family have signed and sealed it. It doesn't make sense for you to deny it! It doesn't make sense for you, Qiao Hongxi, to want to default on your debts!"
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Why don't you choose? Do you want us to go to the Hanlin Academy to ask you to pay the money back, or go to the Qiao family to ask? Or, just sue the officials?"
