Chapter 130: The Marquis' Mansion Was Robbed and Smashed
When they heard that they could get money, everyone looked excitedly in the direction of Ji Zehai's finger.
But the next second, everyone's faces fell and they all changed their expressions.
Shen the butcher sneered and asked with a fake smile, "Lord Ji, is she the daughter-in-law you mentioned?"
Ji Zehai didn't notice anything wrong, and nodded with certainty, saying, "Yes, she is the daughter-in-law of our Ji family. You can ask her for money now!"
Shen the butcher took a breath of doubt and said, "Lord Ji, do you want to hear what you are saying?"
"I'm not wrong, you can really ask her to pay you back!"
As he said that, Ji Zehai turned around and asked with a smile, "Ning Yuan, as the daughter-in-law of the Ji family, it's not too much to ask you to pay this money, right?"
But the next second, Ji Zehai's face changed instantly, and his voice changed as well: "Why are you the only one here? Where's the young lady?"
Housekeeper Xu covered his sore butt and limped over, "My Lord, the young mistress is not in the yard. I heard from the servants at Xiyuanju that she went out early in the morning."
"W-what?" Ji Zehai was so shocked that he almost couldn't stand still, "She went out?"
"Yes, I'm going out."
"Have you looked for it? Are you hiding in the house and don't want to come out?"
Butler Xu looked embarrassed: "I dare not deceive the Marquis. The young lady is really not in the Marquis's mansion now."
After confirming that Shen Ningyuan had really left the house, Ji Zehai swayed and almost fainted again.
He barely stood up by holding onto the table, and shouted angrily: "This bitch, she didn't go out earlier or later, but she chose to go out at this time. It's obvious that she did it on purpose!"
At this time, Chen also reacted and yelled at Butler Xu: "Young Madam is out, why didn't you tell me earlier? Why did you have to wait for the Marquis to release these people..."
Halfway through her words, Chen glanced at the people who were blocking the hall and immediately changed her words: "Why did you have to wait until now to say it?"
Housekeeper Xu had a bitter face and said in embarrassment, "Madam, what I wanted to say was that the young mistress couldn't come, but who knew she would fall down like this? Before I could finish my words, the Marquis..."
Chen glared at him fiercely: "You are just quibbling and trying to put the blame on the Marquis!"
After being glared at by Chen, Butler Xu immediately fell silent and dared not speak anymore.
At this time, the creditors were unhappy and shouted angrily.
"Madam Ji, if you want to scold me, can you please return the money first?"
"Yeah, isn't it a bad idea to let us wait here? You should pay us back first. It's been delayed for so long!"
"That's right, if you don't pay me back today, we're going to take action!"
"Yes, if you don't pay us back, we will take action. The Marquis's family is so wealthy and they eat all kinds of delicacies every day, but they are unwilling to pay back the money owed to us ordinary people. What's the logic behind this?"
“Pay back the money, pay back the money!”
“…”
The voices of debt collectors are getting louder and louder.
Even passers-by outside the door were attracted by the sounds and couldn't help but stop and look inside.
Ji Zehai noticed this scene and was afraid that the matter would get out of hand, so he quickly asked Butler Xu to help him up.
After standing firm, Ji Zehai began to comfort these people.
He pretended to be calm and said, "Everyone, please be patient. We, the Ji family, will definitely pay you back the money we owe you!"
"Bullshit!" Shen the butcher said, "You just said that it is only natural to pay back debts, and that if you don't pay back your debts, you will be punished by heaven and earth. Now you change your words and say that you will definitely pay it back. Which of you should I believe?"
"That's right, Lord Ji, you don't want to pay back the money, do you?"
"No matter what you say, you must pay me back today!"
"That's right, pay back the money! Pay back the money!"
The debt collection calls are getting louder and louder.
Ji Zehai was so anxious that his face changed and he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
If today's incident gets out of hand, the Ji family will be in big trouble!
Why did Shen Ningyuan, this bitch, insist on going out today?
Thinking of this, Ji Zehai gritted his teeth and shouted in a trembling voice: "Everyone, we will definitely pay you back the money we owe you. It's just that we just finished the funeral, and we are a little tight on money. I hope you can give us some more time!"
"You want more time? We've given you more time so many times! If you don't pay me back today, we won't leave!"
Shen the butcher shouted loudly.
Other creditors echoed this.
"Yes, I won't leave!"
"If you don't pay us back, we will live in the Marquis' Mansion. We will be provided with food, drink, and toilet supplies. When you pay us back, we will leave!"
"Yes, I'm staying at the Ji family!"
Hearing these words, Ji Zehai's face became even uglier, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
He looked at Chen for help, asking her with his eyes whether she had any money left.
After being married for more than ten years, Chen naturally saw through his thoughts.
Let her pay?
impossible!
Thinking of this, Chen clenched her handkerchief, shook her head, and cried helplessly while wiping away her tears.
At this moment, Ji Zehai felt extremely desperate.
Shen Ningyuan is not here, and Chen has no money. Where can he get the money to pay off these debts?
Seeing that the two were silent, Shen the butcher brandished his butcher knife and shouted angrily: "In a word, whether you pay back the money or not, if you don't pay back the money, we will really have to stay in the Ji family!"
Seeing Shen the butcher's ferocious face, Chen cried anxiously: "Please give us some more time. We really have no money. If we had money, would we not give it to you?"
But just as he finished speaking, a little maid with a cold face suddenly came out with a bowl of bird's nest.
He asked expressionlessly, "Madam, the bird's nest porridge you drink every day is ready. Do you want to drink it now?"
Chen's pupils shrank, and she turned to look at the maid holding the bird's nest: "What, what bird's nest? This is not a bird's nest, it's just a bowl of ordinary mung bean porridge."
While speaking, Chen kept winking at the maid.
But the maid seemed not to notice her hint, and said innocently: "Madam, this is not mung bean porridge, this is bird's nest porridge! Bird's nest porridge made with top-grade bird's nests! This bowl of bird's nest porridge is worth ten taels of silver!"
Every word the maid said emphasized the value of bird's nest porridge.
Chen felt a black screen before her eyes and she almost suffocated.
He pointed at the little maid tremblingly: "You, you...you get out!"
At this time, everyone present could hear their conversation clearly.
Everyone exploded instantly.
"What? Bird's nest porridge made from top-grade bird's nest? It's worth ten taels of silver!"
"Oh my god, I've never had such expensive bird's nest porridge in my life!"
"What a great Ji family! They have money to drink bird's nest porridge but no money to pay our debt!"
"They did this on purpose. They don't want to pay us back our hard-earned money!"
"Brothers, these bastards only know how to exploit us ordinary people. Let's fight them, smash the mansion, and take away the valuables to pay off the debts!"
At the command, the creditors who were blocking the hall rushed forward to grab things like crazy.
Seeing this, Ji Zehai quickly opened his arms to stop them: "What are you doing? This is outrageous!"
But the creditors ignored him and continued to rob things from the mansion.
I was afraid that if I was a step too slow, my valuables would be stolen.
Shen the butcher pushed Ji Zehai away and asked bluntly, "Lord Ji, you just said that it is only natural to pay back debts. If you don't have money, you can use something to pay it back, isn't that right?"
