After being praised by his sister, Lin Huijin agreed.
At Su Mingzhi's house on the other side.
Su Mingzhi sat in front of a table with a bent corner, looking at the exquisite and elegant head ornaments and five thousand taels of silver notes on the table, and his drool was almost flowing.
"Son, where did you get this? How much is it? Five thousand taels! Where did you get the banknote?!"
Mother Su widened her drooping eyes, and with her rough and thin hands like chicken claws, she picked up the banknote and looked at it carefully again and again.
Su Mingzhi said proudly, "Ran'er wanted to pawn her treasures to pay off my brother-in-law's debt, so I took her to Ergou's pawnshop.
Ergou knew what I meant with just one look from me.
The things Ran'er pawned were all very valuable, but as a grown-up girl, she didn't understand that.
Ergou deliberately offered only half of the actual price, and Ran'er agreed.
The remaining half of the silver was divided equally between Ergou and me, and each of us got 5,000 taels!
As for this set of headgear, Raner wanted to pawn it, so I followed her to the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion and also to the warehouse.
Wu An Hou is indeed a big family, there are so many treasures in the warehouse!
I took out this headgear while Ran'er wasn't paying attention.
Once I pawn this thing, it will get at least several thousand taels of silver.
Now I have enough money for Ran'er and I to get engaged!"
When Su's mother heard what her son said, she was surprised and happy.
"You're worthy of being my son! You're so awesome!"
While the mother and son were feeling smug, a figure outside the window left quietly.
Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
Ying Xixi listened to the guard's report while leisurely eating cakes and drinking tea.
The prey has taken the bait.
"Qiulin, tell Lin Youran that since she took the items from the warehouse to pawn, they need to re-count the remaining items and keep records."
"yes."
When Qiulin conveyed this, Lin Youran still felt a little guilty because she had pawned some things, and the money from the pawning was extra money for her brother, not to pay back the money she owed to the gambling house.
She was worried that if Ying Xixi found out, she would take back the key to her warehouse.
But Lin Youran changed her mind and realized that as long as she insisted that the money from the pawning was used to pay off her brother's debts, that would be enough.
It's impossible that Ying would send people to the pawnshop and gambling house to find out the truth, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Youran felt more righteous and straightened his back.
However, after she counted the items in the warehouse according to the list, she found that in addition to the things she had taken out to pawn, she was actually missing a set of headwear.
It's strange, why is something suddenly missing?
Could it be that someone from the Ying family came to take it? Or was it someone from the clan who took it?
After thinking about it, Lin Youran went to find Ying Xixi and told her about it.
Upon hearing this, Ying Xixi said, "Something is missing? Maybe someone from the clan took it. Well, if something is missing, then it's gone.
This matter is not important. What is important now is that you, Ran'er, are engaged to Mr. Su.
Mother has sent someone to take you and Young Master Su's birth dates to find a good date for your engagement. I estimate we'll have the result tomorrow."
When the engagement was mentioned, Lin Youran's face immediately turned red.
.......
The news that the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an was engaged to an ordinary citizen quickly spread throughout the capital.
The onlookers were amazed.
"Did this young lady get kicked in the head by a donkey?
With her status, even if she doesn't enter the palace or marry a prince, marrying a third-rank official would be more than enough, right?
How could she marry an ordinary man?"
"Didn't she get kicked by a donkey? I know the man she's going to marry. He's ugly, fat, and has no proper job. He's just been idle all day, and he's used his mouth to deceive many young girls.
Didn't the Marquis of Wu'an investigate? How could she actually let her daughter marry such a man?
Or is it that because her daughter is not her biological daughter, Lady Wu'an doesn't care who she marries?
"That's not what she said. I know about this matter. It is said that the wife of the Marquis had tried her best to persuade this young lady before.
But the girl was so fooled by the man that she insisted on marrying him and even tried to commit suicide!
If she were your biological daughter, it would be okay to be tough on her, and no one would say anything.
But it is difficult to discipline a biological daughter. No matter how you discipline her, there will always be people gossiping about her.
The Marquis’ wife couldn’t bear to watch the girl commit suicide, so she agreed to the marriage.”
"I see. The wife of the Marquis's mansion has had a really hard life. As soon as she married into the Marquis's mansion, her husband went to the border and even died in battle..."
"Yes, the Marquis's wife had no choice, otherwise she would definitely stop this marriage. Who made her have such a daughter? It's a pity."
.......
Most of the discussions among the people in the capital were in favor of Ying Xixi.
After Lin Youran and Su Mingzhi's engagement was completed, Lin Youran became a member of the Su family to a certain extent.
However, with Lin Youran's status, even if she and Su Mingzhi canceled their engagement, she could still find a good family to marry into.
But this is not what Ying Xixi wants to see.
Anyway, before Lin Weiyi brings his mistress back, she will have Lin Youran and Su Mingzhi tied to death!
It would be best if no one dared to marry Lin Youran!
Ying Xixi took a sip of peach blossom tea, a fierce look flashing across her eyes.
After Lin Youran and Su Mingzhi got engaged, Su Mingzhi would occasionally visit them.
As for what his intention was in coming here, of course it was to steal the good stuff in the warehouse and pawn it!
Su Mingzhi looked at the gold, silver and jewelry in the warehouse, and his eyes lit up.
If he hadn't thought about the many good things here, he would have regretted getting engaged to Lin Youran.
The five thousand taels of silver he earned last time were all spent on this engagement!
If he hadn't pawned his suit of face masks, he would have been starving.
It's time to take some things to pawn to get some money back.
Su Mingzhi walked around the warehouse and found a lot of good things hidden in his sleeves.
"Brother Su, do you have anything you like? I'll give it to you!"
Lin Youran looked at Su Mingzhi with obsessed eyes.
"Ran'er, you don't have to send me off. This is a warehouse after all. Don't bring anyone else in here casually, okay?"
Su Mingzhi touched Lin Youran's slippery little hand.
Lin Youran was touched and said coquettishly in a soft voice, "But Brother Su is not someone else."
"You."
The maid guarding outside felt a little nauseous when she heard the two people flirting inside.
I don’t know if the lady has poor eyesight, why would she fall for such a man.
I just hope that when she follows the young lady to the Su family in the future, she won’t become the concubine of that ugly man!
......
Before Lin Youran got engaged, Lin Huijin gambled away the two thousand taels of silver...
