Chapter 61 Ning Ning Wants Accounts 2

"Sir Wang, eight years ago, you borrowed 1,000 taels of gold from the Ministry of Revenue, but you only paid back 200 taels. Do you still remember this?"

Jiang Youning blinked at the king and took out an IOU from her arms. She didn't speak loudly and the people who looked over didn't know what was going on.

Yesterday, the Emperor gave the Jiang family's Sixth Miss an IOU for ten thousand taels of gold in front of all the court officials. Lord Wang was present and naturally knew about it.

But there is a saying that goes, "A lot of debts don't weigh you down." He is not the only one who owes money. Even the Minister of Finance has been unable to do anything about them for so many years, so he is not worried at all.

In order to prove that he was penniless, he walked to and from court instead of taking a carriage in recent years.

But I didn't expect that Jiang Huaian's daughter was also a fool. She even sent two children to collect the debt.

Lord Wang took out a piece of silver from his waist, bent down, and kindly put it into the hand of the silent little Wukong.

"Poor children, you two are so skinny, your life must be very hard, right? Take some coins and buy some delicious food."

When the confused people around saw this scene, they couldn't help but praise the king for his kindness.

Lord Wang continued to look at Jiang Youning with a smile, his tone threatening.

"Little girl, if you have taken advantage of me, go back. This silver is enough for you and your brother to have several meals together. You should know that greed is the key to success. The best way to achieve success is to know when to be content~"

"It looks like there's nothing to discuss."

Jiang Youning grinned at the king.

The next second, the brother and sister simultaneously stuffed a pill into their mouths and sat down on the ground.

"Wuwuwu... Dad, the doctor said that Mom is ill from overwork and won't live for many more days. We don't want any money, please go back and see Mom."

"Dad, my sister and I know you don't like us, but Mom was your legitimate wife after all. As long as you go and see Mom, and wait for her to close her eyes, my sister and I are willing to die with her. No one will interfere with your official career."

Little Wukong even hung directly on Lord Wang's legs, and his tears flowed down like a flood that had burst open.

For a moment, the smile on Lord Wang's face completely froze.

The people nearby quickly gathered around and watched the show, pointing and talking.

"Poor little kids!"

"Isn't Mr. Wang's wife's mother's family from the Kang family?"

"I heard that after Lord Wang passed the imperial examination, he was chosen as a son-in-law by the Kang family. At that time, it was a beautiful talk. Could it be that Lord Wang already had a family before that?"

…

Hearing these words from the crowd, Lord Wang's face looked extremely ugly.

Although the two children in front of him could not be his own, it was true that he abandoned his wife and children. It was just that everything was arranged and no one knew about it.

If those annoying historians knew about this, they would definitely try every means to dig out the truth, and by then, the memorials impeaching him would probably pile up like a mountain.

Besides, his wife is not a pushover. If she knew he was married...

Lord Wang made a gesture to pull the two people up.

But the two of them quickly took two steps back trembling.

"Dad, you still don't want to go back with us to see mom this time. Are you going to beat us again?"

Seeing more and more people gathering around him, Lord Wang was extremely furious.

He squatted down and lowered his voice:

"Shut up, both of you! It's just eight hundred taels of gold, right? I'll give it to you! I'll take you to get it now!"

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

The brother and sister suddenly got up from the ground, brushed the dust off their legs, and then looked at Lord Wang with an apologetic smile.

"Oh, brother, I was crying so sadly just now. Why does this uncle look a bit like us, but he is not our father?"

Little Wukong also stopped crying and nodded obediently.

"Sister, I think we have mistaken you for someone else. I'm sorry, uncle. We haven't seen daddy for a long time. You look so kind, you won't hold it against us, right?"

As he spoke, Little Wukong stuffed the silver coin into his sleeve.

Flies and mosquitoes are also meat, and there is no reason for them to get out once they are in his hands.

"Oh, I recognized the wrong person."

"I've always said that Lord Wang is kind and his family is harmonious and happy. He doesn't look like he would abandon his wife."

…

In an instant, the situation took a turn for the better.

Word of mouth is back again.

Lord Wang heaved a sigh of relief, but he felt as if he had swallowed a fly. He still had to smile at the two people and said, "It's okay. Just follow me. I'll arrange for someone to help you find your father, okay?"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

~~~

Not far away, Chu Lange couldn't help but frown after hearing the guard's report.

"Yuan Ye, do you think that little girl who is looking for her father looks like Jiang Youning?"

"Princess, if you only look at his back, he does look a bit like her."

Outside the carriage, the guard spoke in a proper manner.

"Let's go and take a look."

Lord Wang naturally didn't dare to take Jiang Youning and Xiao Wukong home. He brought the two of them to the bank and handed over a jade pendant with a painful heart.

"Take 800 taels of gold and send it to Jiang's residence."

"yes!"

The bank's account-counter took the jade pendant and made a mark on Lord Wang's account book.

"Master Wang, take care~"

Watching the gold being packed into boxes and sent to the Jiang residence, Jiang Youning waved at him kindly, then lowered his head and touched Little Wukong's head.

"Let's go home and collect the gold, then change our clothes and go to the next store."

"stop!"

The two of them hadn't taken two steps when a voice sounded behind them.
