Chapter 403: Collecting the Bills

"I didn't ask you, I asked Mr. Cheng." Lu Lingyun looked at Cheng Qi again, "Cheng Qi, do you really want to marry her?"

Cheng Qi's heart was full of struggle at this moment.

Not at all the toughness he showed towards his sister.

As a brother, he naturally has the final say when facing his sister, and his marriage to Qin Shaojing will not harm Cheng Hui at all, so how can she interfere?

But Lu Lingyun.

He owed her too many favors and favours.

He always had to listen more and think more about what she said.

Being ungrateful is not that easy, it is very painful!

He himself was unwilling in his heart!

He pondered for a long time in his heart, so long that Qin Shaojing became a little impatient and was about to turn his face away. Cheng Qizheng said, "Sister-in-law, I know you have a lot of misunderstandings about Shaojing..."

"That's enough. I didn't hear you say that." Lu Lingyun interrupted him.

"No, I want to say that Shao Jing is really not the kind of person you think she is." Cheng Qi had to speak, and he had to speak at length, "And we really have no intention of taking your position. I can promise you that when I take over and inherit the title of Marquis, the Marquis' Mansion will still respect the lineage of sister-in-law and brother Yun Shuo in the future. When Bing'an grows up, I will give the title of Marquis to him! I swear here!"

Lu Lingyun couldn't help but laugh when he heard him talk so much.

He explained so much just to ease the guilt in his heart.

He even swore to fool everyone.

But does he really not know? He is only fooling himself with these words, but who else can he fool?

Even Qin Shaojing, who was beside him, almost laughed out loud with mockery in his eyes when he heard his sincere words.

"Cheng Qi, since you are determined to marry her, then marry her." Lu Lingjun said.

Cheng Qi heard her tone and didn't believe him at all, "Sister-in-law! We really want to help you, for the good of the Marquis' Mansion..."

"That's enough, you can go back now, I wish you all the best." Lu Lingyun said.

"Sister-in-law..."

Qin Shaojing said lazily at this time, "Okay, Brother Cheng Qi, let's go."

She pulled Cheng Qi and walked forward first.

Cheng Qi was pulled by her and followed her to leave. When passing by Lu Lingyun, he tried to open his mouth to express his thoughts again, but when he met her cold and disappointed eyes, he clenched his fists and sighed.

After they left, Shuang Hong walked up to her and asked, "Madam, what are the arrangements now? Should we spread the news?"

Lu Lingyun thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the Zhenjun General's Mansion to collect a bill first."

After Qin Shaojing and Cheng Qi returned to the town's general's mansion, a man came to the door not long after.

"General, the shopkeeper from Xikelai is here to collect the bills. He wants to settle the bills for the things that were delivered to our house before."

Cheng Qi was startled when he heard this.

Qin Shaojing frowned and asked, "What account?"

"All the decorations, screens, curtains, and other things in our general's mansion were sent by them."

"Whose store is Xikelai? Why do you buy all the things from it?" Qin Shaojing was unhappy.

Cheng Qi then spoke up, "It's my sister-in-law's store."

Hearing that it was Lu Lingyun's store, Qin Shaojing was stunned at first, and then he spat with disdain, "How stingy! You're still charging us for these things!"

In her mind, she thought that this was the only way Lu Lingjun could vent her anger, which was really ridiculous.

"Please come in." Cheng Qi said.

"yes."

After a while, Dongsheng came in with the bill, "General Cheng, here is the bill, please take a look."

"No need, just go to our warehouse and get the money."

Dongsheng cleared his throat and said, "Well, the total is 2,253 taels. We all know each other. The master asked me to round off the amount, so I'll give you 2,250 taels."

"What!" Qin Shaojing glared at the bill of two thousand taels, "What kind of rubbish is worth two thousand taels in your store?"

"Madam, this is the bill. You can check it carefully. What we send you are the best goods in our warehouse. For example, this huanghuali root carving tea table is made of the finest Qiongzhou huanghuali. A piece of huanghuali wood as thick as an arm is worth a fortune! Everything we have is top-notch!" Dongsheng said with a smile.

Their stuff is nice, but not that expensive!

For some things, the market price is the market price, the actual selling price is the actual selling price, and the purchase price is another thing.

The invoices they gave to Cheng Qi were all based on the highest prices on the market!

All of them were the highest prices on the market. The total purchase price of the things previously delivered to Cheng Qi was only a few hundred taels of silver, and the total amount that could be sold was only more than a thousand taels.

If you report it to him, he will be severely slaughtered!

You have to know that before, Lu Lingyun bought Lu Kuan a big house in the east of the city for only three thousand taels of silver!

"Why are your things so expensive!" Qin Shaojing closed the list, "We don't want them, take them all back!"

After she finished speaking, Cheng Qi said, "Go to the warehouse to get the silver."

"Thank you, Grandpa! I wish you a promotion, wealth and a bright future!" Dongsheng said flatteringly, and went downstairs with the bill to collect the money.

Lu Lingyun knew that Cheng Qi would not have the nerve to bargain with her at this moment, let alone take the things away, so she took this opportunity to rip him off.

Her things are not for ungrateful people!

Just collect some interest first and then rip him off!

After Dongsheng went to collect the money, Qin Shaojing, who had been secretly cheated, was furious. She was no longer the wife of the Duke's Mansion. How much wealth did Cheng Qi have? How could he afford to spend it like this!

Besides, what a crap selection this is.

"Cheng Qi, you are asking to be killed! How can these broken things be worth more than two thousand taels of silver!"

"Okay." Cheng Qi let the matter go.

Qin Shaojing was dissatisfied when he saw him like this, and snorted, "From today on, I will be in charge of your family's income! You are not allowed to spend money recklessly anymore!"

These things became Cheng Qi's waste of money. Cheng Qi was slightly dissatisfied when he heard this, but he didn't care about it at this moment. He just said, "Of course, you should be in charge of the family's financial support."

"You are so easy to talk to, so soft-hearted, you are bullied to the extreme," Qin Shaojing still did not let him go, muttering, "That Lu Lingyun really can't live anymore, she has the nerve to come to collect the bill after revealing the truth like that! The stuff is still so rubbish, and it has been so long, I think she is deliberately setting you up, and has been eyeing the money in your bank account for a long time!"

Cheng Qi felt very uncomfortable listening to Qin Shaojing's rants. He couldn't help but say, "Shaojing, sister-in-law is not that kind of person. She said she would give these things to us."

"She said she was giving it to you, but she's still asking for money? She's really sinister!"

"Shao Jing, we did something that disappointed her..."

"Come on! You are so stupid that you let others fool you and still think she is a good person!"

Hearing Qin Shaojing scolding like this, Cheng Qi felt for the first time that her perfect appearance was somewhat broken.
