Chapter 195: Raising money everywhere
As she spoke, Lan Yin seemed to have thought of something, and continued to ask, "Oh, Miss, there is one more thing that I cannot figure out."
"What's up?"
"You just said that Chen only had the position of Marquise in her eyes. If that's the case, why was she so sad when she found out that the token of love between her and Ji Zehai was a fake?"
"After all, they have been married for decades, so she naturally cannot tolerate her husband trampling on her feelings." Shen Ningyuan's tone was cold, "She will follow this jade pendant to investigate the whereabouts of the authentic one, and finally find Ji Zehai's mistress."
Lan Yin was stunned. "Miss, how can you know so much?"
"Because the original jade pendant is with me."
After saying that, Shen Ningyuan spread out his hands.
An amber jade pendant was lying quietly in the palm of her hand.
Lan Yin covered her mouth and looked at Chen Ningyuan in surprise, "So Miss, you planned all this from the beginning and swapped Ji Zehai's jade pendant?"
Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows and nodded slightly.
-
On the other side, it took Chen a long time to come back to his senses.
The fake jade pendant was tightly grasped in her hand, almost crushed by her.
"Husband, Madam..."
Seeing Chen's expression, Nanny Hai stepped forward and carefully advised, "Madam, the most urgent thing is not to dwell on these trivial matters, but to think about the overall situation!"
Hearing this, Chen held the jade pendant tighter.
"Mammy, I won't accept this!" Chen said gritting her teeth.
Without thinking, Madam Hai blurted out, "Why would you be unwilling to accept this? Didn't Madam carry it first?"
Before she could finish her words, Nanny Hai realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly covered her mouth.
Chen's face darkened slightly, and she glanced at him coldly, "What are you reciting? Just finish what you are saying!"
Madam Hai's eyelids jumped, and she quickly admitted her mistake to Chen, "Madam, I know I was wrong."
"Don't blame me for being rude if you keep talking nonsense!" Chen snorted coldly, "Remember what to say and what not to say!"
"I know."
Nanny Hai lowered her head and dared not say another word.
Chen withdrew her gaze and looked at the jade pendant in her hand with cold eyes, then swept her eyes across the yard full of fakes.
After a long time, he ordered in a deep voice: "Order immediately to search for the whereabouts of these genuine products."
"Yes, ma'am!"
Perhaps she had thought of something, and Chen reminded him coldly, "Remember, you are all my dowry. You must not let the Marquis know about searching for these things."
“Remember!”
Everyone responded in unison.
After giving all these instructions, Chen's body went limp and she collapsed into the chair.
She vaguely felt that Ji Zehai had done something behind her back.
But now, in order to keep the Ji family's title, although he was unwilling, Chen could only find a way to raise money.
Now, the only family that can help the Marquis' Mansion is the Shen family.
Thinking of this, Chen gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice: "Now, how much money have you raised in total?"
"Madam, the total is about 120,000 taels, which is 380,000 taels away from 500,000 taels."
"I know! I can calculate it. You don't need to remind me of the specific numbers!" Chen roared.
Afterwards, the servants stopped talking.
Chen's body was softer than before.
The whole person looked around in despair, as if he had lost his life.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and no one dared to make a sound, for fear of angering Chen.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen raised her hand tremblingly, "Madam Hai, help me up."
"good."
Nanny Hai helped Chen up.
"Ma'am, what are you going to do?"
Chen sighed, "What can I do? Go back to the Chen family."
"What are you going back to the Chen family for?" Nanny Hai asked in surprise.
"What else can I do?" Chen said weakly, "Borrow money."
"Madam, given the current situation of the Marquis' Mansion, I'm afraid the Chen family is unwilling to lend money, right?"
"It's okay, they'll lend it to you."
Having said that, Chen asked Nanny Hai to support her and she stood up and left Ji Zehai's yard.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the marquis's mansion.
After Chen got on the carriage, it drove towards Chen's house.
As soon as Chen left, Shen Ningyuan got the news.
"Oh? You decided to go back to your parents' home to borrow money so soon?" Chen Ningyuan smiled meaningfully, "You are so decisive, which is beyond my expectation."
Lan Yin asked in a low voice: "Miss, can Chen borrow money?"
Shen Ningyuan nodded, "Of course, but not much, at most 200,000 taels."
"Two hundred thousand taels, can the Chen family give us such a large sum of money?" Lan Yin asked.
"The Chen family will lend it." Shen Ningyuan nodded. "The Chen family has gained a lot of benefits over the years by borrowing the identity of the Ji family. For this convenience, they will definitely lend money. But the Chen family is not a wealthy family. The most they can lend to the Chen family is 200,000 taels."
If this is the case, Chen will not be able to collect 500,000 taels. "Lan Yin said truthfully: "The Chen family borrowed 200,000 taels, plus the 100,000 taels just sold from the family property, there is still a shortfall of 200,000 taels. I am afraid that Chen will not be able to find a place to borrow money."
"No, there is another place."
There was a chill in the corners of Shen Ningyuan's eyes.
"Where?"
“The person behind Ji Yunchuan.” Shen Ningyuan gritted his teeth.
Over the past year, most of the dowry that the Ji family had taken from her was given to the mastermind behind the incident.
Now that the Ji family is in trouble and the other party has no way to keep the Ji family's title, he can only ask that person to return the money.
While thinking, Shen Ningyuan looked at Yi Ge in the corner, who had no sense of existence at all.
"Yi Ge, go keep an eye on Chen. After she leaves the Chen family, she will definitely go to see Ji Yunchuan."
"Watch carefully and see where Ji Yunchuan will go in the end."
Yi Ge nodded, turned around and walked out of Xiyuanju.
-
Chen family.
"One hundred and fifty thousand taels?"
Chen looked at her father and uttered a cry of surprise.
Father Chen's face darkened. "It's just 150,000 taels. If you want it, I'll send someone to get the banknote now."
"Father!" Chen asked in disbelief, "Over the years, the Chen family has made no less than 700,000 taels by taking advantage of the status of the Marquis' Mansion. Why did you only borrow 150,000 taels?"
Father Chen didn't say anything, but just stared at Chen with a gloomy expression.
"Father, please think about it again. Can you lend me another 200,000 taels?" Chen continued to beg.
At this time, Chen's mother, who had been silent, finally spoke.
"Daughter, it's not that we don't want to lend, but these 150,000 taels are already the limit for the Chen family!"
"I don't believe it!" Chen didn't believe it.
Mother Chen sighed and continued, "You only know that the Chen family has accumulated some wealth over the years by relying on the power of the Marquis' Mansion, but you also know that in a business, some bribes are inevitable. We really only have 150,000 taels, and no more money!"
Chen's face darkened, and as she looked at her mother who looked helpless, her heart sank a little.
Fifteen thousand taels, plus the 110,000 taels in the mansion, there is still a shortfall of half. Who can she ask for the money?
