Chapter 137: My brother-in-law's thoughts
Although I was unwilling, when I thought about it carefully, 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 pointed at Chen angrily: "Look, this is your good niece, she doesn't look like a dependent at all!"
Chen looked helpless and sighed, "My Lord, that's not the way to say it. You know that 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. He had no place to vent his anger, so he kicked Chen in anger.
Chen screamed in pain, her eyes red, and looked at Ji Zehai with grievance.
"Clean up this place before dinner, or I will punish you according to my family rules!"
Ji Zehai threw down these words and without giving Chen a chance to refute, he 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 handed over her dowry obediently, it wouldn't have turned out like this!"
Afterwards, Chen ordered her servants to clean up the mess while cursing.
…………
After the Marquis' Mansion sent away the debt collectors, Shen Ningyuan also left Ningle Tower.
Ji Yunnuo stood at the entrance 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.
Just as Ji Yunnuo was about to turn around, Lao Guai's teasing voice suddenly came from behind him: "Hehe, if I'm guessing correctly, she is the one you've been thinking about for two years?"
Ji Yunnuo paused, and said without turning his head: "She is my sister-in-law now, don't talk nonsense 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 deceive me?"
As he spoke, Lao Guai suddenly thought of something, and his tone was a little mocking: "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, Laoguai 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. I think people don't think highly of 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 coldly: "Old Guai, you talk too much!"
Lao Guai snorted twice and retorted: "I just talk too much, so what? You have given Ningle Building to others. You are 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 in life..."
Listening to Lao Guai's humming, Ji Yunnuo stood alone at the entrance 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 in a low voice: "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 of time later, a few more people walked into Ningle Tower in a hurry.
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 room of the Marquis' Mansion, we can't even enter the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion. There is no chance of finding what the master wants!"
"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 with a long sword in her hand, 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 governor of Kyoto 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 look: "Chen Moer has already shown up, so of course you can't succeed. It doesn't matter, you can go down first!"
Even though Ji Yunnuo had said so much, the few people 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, put 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 mansion. When he saw the guests coming, he hurried out of the house.
However, after seeing Lan Yin beside Shen Ningyuan, Shen the butcher was suddenly shocked 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 debts!"
Lan Yin looked at Shen the butcher calmly and said, "The one who gave you the money is 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 was instantly filled with respect and immediately asked respectfully, "Miss, do you have anything else to say?"
“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 ask for my debt back. 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.
