Shopkeeper Bi looked at Su Man and grinned, "Madam is quite clever."
He glanced around, his eyes fixed on Xiang Mama, who was hunching her neck and pretending to be dead. He winked at his men, and immediately two burly men stepped forward, grabbed Xiang Mama, and dragged her forward.
He struggled with his hands and feet, yelling, "What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Bi Wu tutted his words twice. "What am I supposed to do? Why, after leaving the bank and getting the money, you don't recognize me anymore?"
He lowered his head to his mother and dared not raise it. "I...I don't know any Biwu."
Bi Wu raised his chin to his subordinates. The person who clamped her used some skillful force to twist Xiang Mama's body, causing her to scream, "Ouch, let go, my hand is going to break, help..."
She grimaced in pain and shouted, "It was the Second Madam, it was the Second Madam who asked me to put the money in!"
Bi Wu waved his hand, and the two men let go of Xiang's mother and threw her to the ground like a rag.
"Oh, why didn't you say it earlier? You have to endure this at your age. Well, General, we've found the man. Isn't it time for you to say something?"
Mother Nie reacted and pointed at Qin Wanrou, who was being protected by Nie You, and asked, "It's you?"
Qin Wanrou was already shaking like a sieve. Nie You grabbed the red veil and yanked it off fiercely, sending the hairpins and rings scattering to the ground. Qin Wanrou's face turned pale and she suddenly knelt on the ground, "Husband, please listen to my explanation..."
Seeing that she didn't deny it, Nie You said angrily, "It's really you!"
Qin Wanrou hugged Nie's right thigh and begged, "Husband, I am also doing this for our general's mansion."
"Bitch! Do you know how much trouble you've caused?"
Nie You kicked Qin Wanrou aside with a sharp kick in the heart. She covered her ribs and didn't get up for a long time.
Seeing that the party was almost over, the guests all knew that the wedding banquet could not be held today, and they all bowed and said goodbye.
The wedding hall, which had been bustling just a moment ago, became empty in an instant, leaving only tables filled with delicacies and fine wines, and Qin Wanrou's miserable cries.
[Nie You's reputation is damaged, his luck value is reduced by 10, and his current luck value is 55]
The resilient Qin Wanrou climbed back up and clung to Nie You's legs, "Husband, it's really because we don't have enough money at home, that's why I..."
Nie You was anxious and angry. He grabbed her arm and pulled her up from the ground, shouting in her face, "So you're going to lend money?"
“I…I…”
Bi Wu suddenly interrupted, "The general's family affairs should be dealt with later. Since this money was indeed borrowed from the general's mansion, please return it."
At this point, Nie You knew this matter wouldn't end amicably. He shook Qin Wanrou off, took a deep breath, and asserted his general's authority. "Since this is a debt from my general's mansion, I won't default on it. In three days, I will deliver the two thousand taels, including principal and interest, to the Yongle Bank."
"If the general is short of money, it's fine. I, Bi Wu, am not ignorant. It's just that our account has always been managed by the chief treasurer, and I can't make the decision. If the chief treasurer can come back, it won't be so important whether to pay the bill or not."
Bi Wu's words had a hidden meaning. He was clearly saying that as long as the manager came back, the two thousand taels would be unnecessary, but if the manager did not come back, then the two thousand taels would naturally have to be taken back with interest.
Bi Wu said everything he needed to say and then took his men away.
Mother Nie clutched her chest, gasping for breath. A maid helped her to a chair to rest. Pointing at Qin Wanrou, who lay limp on the ground, she said, "I was so proud to make you my second wife, and you, a bitch, are so ungrateful! Hurry and take out the silver!"
Qin Wanrou turned her head and glanced at Nie You quietly, then lowered her head again and said, "That money... the money has been spent."
"What?" Nie You was also panicked this time.
Su Man kindly pointed out, "It's two thousand taels in total. How could it be possible that you have spent it all in just a few months as the head of the family? Please don't hide it from me."
Qin Wanrou looked at Su Man's gloating expression and gritted her teeth and said, "It really is all spent..."
"Bitch!"
Nie You slapped her hard.
Qin Wanrou covered her face and said sadly, "The expenses in the mansion are huge, and we need money for everything. In order to hold a birthday party for my mother, I had to borrow money from a loan shark. I originally planned to pay it back when I got the money, but I didn't expect that the mansion would always be unable to make ends meet. I have no choice!"
"How can it be possible that I can't make ends meet! My annual salary is one hundred and eighty taels! The last time I handed you one hundred taels, how could it not be enough?" Nie You roared.
"It's really not enough. The general's 180 taels are too much to spend at the Farmers' Villa, but we are in the capital. If we want to maintain the dignity of the general's mansion, this 180 taels is far from enough."
Qin Wanrou turned and pointed at Su Man, "If you don't believe me, ask your sister."
Nie You raised his eyes to look at Su Man. She was standing there leisurely, as if all these disturbances had nothing to do with her.
Su Man smiled at Qin Wanrou, who looked expectant. "Didn't my sister say before that it was because I was too extravagant and couldn't manage the household well that I didn't have enough money to spend?"
Qin Wanrou knelt down upon hearing this. Her makeup was smudged and her hair was a mess. She knelt before her and begged, "It's...it's my sister who's greedy and proud. That's why she said those stupid things. Sister, please be fair and tell me if the General's Mansion is running low on money."
Su Man took a step back and said, "Although I have been in charge of the household, I have not interfered since the general said that I was not a good manager. I dare not make any comments now. Please make your own decision, General." After saying that, she took Yinggu's hand and left the wedding hall.
"Sister, please don't go, sister..."
Although Nie You and Nie's mother couldn't stand Su Man's attitude of staying out of the matter, this matter really had nothing to do with her, so they could only watch Su Man leave in a swagger.
