When Ge Chunru heard what Xiao Yuanshi said, her face was filled with sadness.
"This is my own brother. How can you just stand by and watch him die?"
"These people are just robbing. They only owe me over 10,000 taels, but they insist on asking me to pay back 30,000."
She said sharply, "Catch them and report to the police!"
Xiao Yuanshi's face darkened. "I'm the deputy governor, not the prefect of North City. I can't control such things according to my authority."
The big man looked at Ge Chunru and snorted, "Concubine Ge, you can send someone to report us to the prefect right now."
Then he took out a document signed by Ge Chunyi from his pocket and said, "This is signed by your brother himself."
"It's clearly written on it that if the time limit is exceeded, the interest will be increased tenfold every day."
He then said confidently: "Even if you report it to the emperor, we are not afraid."
Ge Chunru took a look at the contents of the IOU and almost fainted from anger.
He looked at Ge Chunyi with a somewhat angry look, "Why did you sign this?"
Ge Chunyi shrank his neck and said, "I didn't think that much at the time."
He was thinking about how to make a profit, so he borrowed money. The other party asked him to sign an IOU, so he signed it.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuanshi said to Ge Chunru, "Don't worry about this matter. Your brother has signed the IOU, and he can't evade this debt."
If the person behind the gambling house didn't have a strong background, he could still do something about it, but now he just wants to quickly cut off his relationship with Ge Chunyi.
Ge Chunru looked at him in disbelief, "He is my own brother, and you told me to leave him alone. How can you be so cold-blooded?"
Xiao Yuanshi was so angry that he said coldly: "It's not me who asked him to gamble. He should learn a lesson."
"If you want to take care of it, you can do it yourself. I have official business to attend to."
After saying this, he turned over and rode on the horse pulled by his personal followers. He gave the other party a look and rode away on the horse.
He didn't want to get involved in Ge Chunru's siblings' affairs, and he couldn't afford to lose face.
So out of sight, out of mind, just avoid it.
Anyway, Ge Chunru couldn't come up with so much money. Now the accounts of the Deputy Governor's Office were managed by his mother and Liu Ru. It was impossible for Ge Chunru to get the money from his mother.
Besides, there are only a few thousand taels in the account, which is not enough.
The people in the gambling house didn't dare to ask him to pay back the money.
Seeing Xiao Yuanshi riding away on horseback, Ge Chunru was heartbroken and hated him completely.
This is just a cold-blooded bastard.
When the big man saw Xiao Yuanshi leaving, a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
He looked at Ge Chunru fiercely and asked, "Ge Shiqi, I ask you again, are you going to pay back the money?"
Ge Chunru panicked, "I don't have 30,000 taels right now."
The big man said coldly: "Then your brother's hands will have to be chopped off."
Ge Chunyi was so scared that he started crying and asked Ge Chunru to save him.
If his hands were chopped off, how would he live in the future? Ge Chunru felt so uncomfortable that he could only soften his tone and say to the big man: "Give me some time, I'll go and raise money."
The big man raised his eyebrows. "It's written on the IOU. The interest will double for every day that passes. How many days will it take you to raise the money?"
Ge Chunru's face changed. If that was the case, how could she return it?
Thirty thousand taels was difficult for her to raise now, let alone more.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Two days. I will raise the money for you within two days."
No matter what, she had to find a way. She couldn't let her brother's hand be chopped off.
At this moment, Old Lady Xiao rushed out, grabbed Ge Chunru and slapped her twice.
"You bitch, you've already spent most of your family savings on subsidizing your brothers and sisters. How can you get 30,000 taels to pay off your debts?"
"Even if there is, I won't let you use it to subsidize your useless brother."
Ge Chunru covered her face and looked at the old lady with hatred, "This has nothing to do with you."
Ever since this old man moved in, he has been torturing her from time to time.
Old Madam Xiao snorted coldly, "This is the Xiao family, not the Ge family."
She then said to the big man, "It's impossible for her to raise 30,000 taels. Our Xiao family doesn't have a penny. You can take her away."
It is absolutely impossible to use this much money to pay off Ge Chunyi's debt.
The big man didn't force it. "Okay, since you said so, old lady, let's not waste time."
"Take the person away!"
After he finished speaking, he had Ge Chunyi and Niu forcibly dragged away.
Seeing this, Ge Chunru glared at Old Lady Xiao and said, “If anything happens to my brother, I will never let you go.”
At this point she no longer cared about her reputation, not to mention that she had no reputation at all.
All I could think about was how to save my brother.
He chased after him without hesitation.
The old lady was also very angry, "Little bitch, if you run away, don't come back if you have the guts."
Such a scourge cannot be allowed to stay in the mansion.
When her son comes back, she will talk to him and it will be better to kick Ge Chunru out.
On the other side, Ge Chunru and her maid chased to the gambling house.
The person at the door didn't stop her and let her run in.
Ge Chunru chased all the way to an open room in the backyard.
Then he saw his brother being pinned to the ground by two people, with one hand on a stool.
The big man before, holding a sharp knife in his hand, was about to chop off her brother's left hand.
Ge Chunyi's pants were completely wet, he was so scared that he peed his pants.
Seeing this, Ge Chunru was so frightened that her body went limp, "No, no!"
She rushed in hastily, "No, you can't do this."
The big man then put away the knife that was about to chop, "Concubine Ge, Deputy Governor Xiao has no right to stop us, do you think I dare to do it?"
Ge Chunru cried and begged: "I will go and raise money, please release my brother first."
The big man glanced at her with disdain. She was so arrogant before, but now she has to beg humbly.
He said, "Your old lady said that it is impossible to give you the money to pay it back, so where are you going to raise the money from?"
Ge Chunru choked, but couldn't care less now. She continued crying, "I will definitely try my best."
The big man pointed at Ge Chunyi's intact leg with his knife and said, "If you can't raise the money in two days, I will chop off his leg as well. How about that?"
Ge Chunru was so scared that he took two steps back. This man was too cruel.
But she really couldn't guarantee that she could raise so much money in two days. After all, Xiao Yuanshi was becoming increasingly cold towards her, and the power of the housekeeper in the mansion was not in her hands.
Seeing that Ge Chunru didn't say anything, the big man sneered, "If you can't do it, don't hinder me from chopping off my hands."
As he said this, he was about to raise the knife and bring it down.
Ge Chunru immediately said: "No, no!"
She begged, "Please give me some time. I will definitely raise the money to pay it back."
The big man stopped and looked at her, "But I don't think a little concubine like you can raise so much money."
Seeing Ge Chunru showing a bit of despair, he changed the subject and said, "But there are other ways to save your brother."
Ge Chunru didn't expect this kind of turn of events, so he asked impatiently, "What do you want me to do to let my brother go? I'll do whatever I can do."
Xiao Yuanshi treated her like that, and now she hated him and everyone in the Xiao family.
At this moment, in her heart, her younger brothers and sisters are her only family and her support, so in order to save her younger brother, she is willing to do anything she can.
