Chapter 264 Knowing that your nephew is poor, he still borrows money from others
Looking at the appearance of these two people, Minister Lin was really speechless.
If you are not allowed to go, it means that there is something fishy between us. According to your statement, all the officials in the court are fishy with me.
Bai Xiao: [After my careful investigation, there is no fishy relationship between your father and the old prince. The old prince loves his partner very much. Your father and the old prince are friends regardless of age. When the old prince left the capital, your father also sponsored him. The old prince borrowed money from your father. ] The
more Lin Mo listened, the more he admired this old prince: [Yohoo! This prince is too good, not only did he cheat the emperor of his money, he also borrowed money from my father. How many people in the capital did he borrow money from! 】
Bai Xiao also admired this prince: [A lot, of course not a lot, he borrowed money from all the families who were related to the royal family. Why do you think he hasn't come back for decades? Although the amount of money he borrowed from each household is not much, it adds up to a large sum, so he made all those people he owed money die. Your father is also lucky to be young. 】
[And your father kept the fact that he lent money to the old prince a secret from your mother. Until now, your mother doesn't know. 】
Lin Mo: ... There are actually such shameless people in the world! Jian Shou is too good!
Minister Lin was embarrassed by what he said. He was young and had just entered the official career. Suddenly, a royal relative asked him to borrow money. He really didn't think too much at that time.
After all, who could have thought that a royal relative would run away after borrowing money? But the amount borrowed was not much, just his monthly expenses. He didn't dare to tell his wife about it that month.
This time he went there mainly for this matter. Although decades have passed, he still can't forget this matter.
No matter how much silver it is, it is still money, not to mention that there is such a money-eating beast at home now, who eats, drinks and has fun every day and does nothing serious. If he can get the money back, it can provide this little bastard with expenses for several months.
Lin Mo wanted to see the old prince even more now, after all, such a genius was rare in the world.
"Dad, I'm going to go! Anyway, I'm going to go no matter what! If you don't let me go, I'll go and complain to mom, I'll say you're having a tryst with someone else!"
Lin Mo's words hit his father's heart directly. What kind of leaky little cotton-padded jacket is this!
Lin Mo also grasped this point. Anyway, his father would definitely not dare to let his mother know about the loan.
Bai Xiao: [You are really amazing, this time your father will definitely let us go. 】
Minister Lin was so angry that he slapped them on the head, "Okay, okay, I'll let you go. You have to get involved in everything. I'm going to ask an old prince to pay me back today. Your mother can't know about this."
He didn't even think about how he spent that month when he was young. He didn't even have money to invite friends out for dinner. The family's income was managed by his wife, who had already given him all the money he needed for the month. Who knew it would be borrowed like this?
"Oh Yeah! Dad, you're so great! It's just to ask others to pay back the money. The debt collection is left to us two!"
He was going out alone, but he brought two burdens with him. Minister Lin's tall figure felt a lot lighter.
The more he takes these two people with him, the more he feels that the money will not be returned.
When they arrived at the agreed place, Old Prince was already waiting.
Although Old Prince is older now, he can still vaguely see the charm of his youth.
When he saw Minister Lin, Old Prince's eyes lit up, "Ah, Ah Huan is still as charming as ever after all these years. What elixir of immortality did you take? You can't hide it."
After saying that, he saw Lin Mo again, "Hey! How come there is a smaller version of you here? It looks exactly like you. I heard that you have three children. Could all three children have the same face as you? Then you don't have to worry about it."
Minister Lin: ... After all these years, this Prince's personality really hasn't changed at all.
Bai Xiao cleared his throat to show that he was there too. Old Wang must have a problem with his eyes. Didn't he see a man this big?
Old Wang also saw Bai Xiao and immediately praised him: "Judging from his age, this shouldn't be your eldest son. Then it can't be your son-in-law. Your family's vision in selecting people is still good. Your son-in-law is good-looking."
Bai Xiao raised his mouth proudly. Of course, there are few people in the whole capital who can compare with him.
Lin Mo rolled her eyes slightly. How good-looking can he be? She is the one who likes him the most.
"I have met the prince. When did the prince return to the capital?" How dare you come back!
Minister Lin really couldn't understand how this man came back in a hurry. Although more than half of the creditors have died, there are still some alive. The biggest creditor is still sitting on the top. Are you really not afraid of being asked to pay?
The old prince smiled happily and said with a nonchalant look: "I missed home after wandering outside for a long time, so I came back."
After that, he asked the servants to bring a big bag of unknown things. "This is the money I borrowed from you decades ago. I will return it to you with interest."
Looking at this big bag of silver, Lin Mo's eyes lit up at once. So much!
No wonder my father didn't dare to tell my mother.
Bai Xiao reminded in his heart: [This is the principal and interest. Your father didn't lend out so much originally. Minister
Lin did not expect that Old Master Wang would be so straightforward. He thought it would be good enough to return the principal, but he did not expect that he would return the principal with interest.
"Thank you very much, Old Master Wang. I wonder how Old Master Wang will deal with other people's loans." After all, he borrowed money from so many people.
The old prince said with a smile: "I have already asked someone to pay back the money. I have been doing some small business outside these years and made a little money. I don't have any descendants, so I plan to come back to take care of myself. My nephew is not bad."
"When I left, I borrowed money from my brother and my nephews. Now this one gives the money back. He is the poorest one, but he is also the one who gives the money most generously. I feel sorry for him."
After saying this, the old prince sighed.
Seeing him like this, Lin Mo complained in his heart: "Then you took their money and left. You knew they were poor but still took their money. I don't know how the emperor has survived these decades." Bai Xiao
: That’s right. The previous emperor died within two months after he left. Then the emperor ascended the throne and kept investing. He was poor to begin with, and a large sum of money was borrowed from him before he ascended the throne. The key point was that no one believed him when he said he was poor. After all, no matter how poor he was before, he couldn’t be poor after he became emperor.
Before Lin Mo arrived, no one believed that the emperor was crying his heart out.
