Jiang Huaishu turned around and saw three thugs from the gambling house walking towards him quickly. His pupils suddenly shrank.
Today is Yan'er's wedding day, why are they coming here to join in the fun?
Jiang Huaishu was just thinking about it when Qian's voice slowly reached his ears.
"Shu'er, who are they? Do you know them?"
"I have seen you, I have seen you!" Jiang Huaishu laughed and said to Qian: "Mother, please welcome the matchmaker in. I will go and say a few words to them."
"Okay, then you better hurry up and don't delay your sister's auspicious time."
Jiang Huaishu nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the three thugs.
Yun Wanrou didn't want to get involved, so she followed Qian and led the matchmaker into the yard.
Yangyang lay on Wangshu's shoulder and leaned his head to look outside.
[The debt collectors came, and the big pig's hoof asked them to go back first, and promised them that he would find a way to pay them back. ]
[The thug disagrees and tells the big pig to pay back the money quickly. If he doesn't, he will cause a scene at Jiang Yan's wedding.]
[Oh my, a big pig's hoof can still beg for help! ]
[He said nice things, saying that he would kneel down to them as long as they didn't choose to cause trouble today, but why didn't he kneel down? ]
Yun Wanrou didn't want to care at all about what was happening outside.
But Yangyang was very interested and kept muttering to herself, so she had no choice but to know.
[I’m angry, I’m angry, this big pig’s hoof can’t be stopped! 】
[Mother, let's hide quickly to avoid being hurt by mistake. ]
Are you going to rush in again?
Yun Wanrou frowned, her heart beating fast.
She wasn't worried about herself and quickly turned to look at Wangshu.
"Wangshu, the bride-receiving ceremony is complicated, you should take Yangyang back to rest first!"
“No, no, no!”
[I want to protect my mother. Wherever my mother is, I will be there! ]
"Madam, this..."
Wangshu looked at Yun Wanrou, feeling a little embarrassed.
Yun Wanrou knew that Yangyang was worried about her and sighed softly.
"Forget it, then just take her to stand on the side! There will be a lot of people later, be careful not to squeeze her."
"good!"
Wangshu responded and walked to the side holding Yangyang.
Yangyang won't make trouble this time.
As long as she can look at her mother and not let her out of her sight, that's enough.
"You can't go in, you can't go in!"
“Get lost!”
Just as Wangshu held Yangyang and retreated to the side, three thugs pushed Jiang Huaishu away and rushed in quickly.
Qian was shocked.
She turned around and looked behind her, and saw that it was the three people from before, and her brows frowned slightly.
"Today is the wedding of the Tan family. If you want to have a drink, you should go to the Tan family. Why did you rush into my mansion?
It's really outrageous to act so recklessly!"
"Madam, I think you don't understand the situation! We three brothers are not here to have a feast, we are here to collect debts!"
The leading man snorted coldly and stopped in front of Qian.
He looked at Yun Wanrou, then turned to look towards the backyard.
"Where's the bride? Why hasn't she come out yet? When will she pay back the money she owes to our gambling house?"
"What gambling house, what silver, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Qian's brows furrowed even more tightly.
Without waiting for her to figure out the situation, Jiang Huaishu hurried forward and grabbed the sleeve of the leading man.
“I told you I would return the money to you.
Today is my sister's wedding day. If you insist on making trouble today, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Hey, you're still welcome?"
The leading man sneered.
"My Lord, it is only natural to pay back a debt. Even if we take the case to the government today, we are still in the right!"
"That's right. Even if you are a marquis, you can't oppress us poor people and embezzle our hard-earned money!"
The thugs following behind the man also echoed.
When Qian heard this, she turned to look at Jiang Huaishu.
"Shu'er, what's going on? Could it be that Yan'er...she really owes them money?"
"Mother, this is not the time to talk about this. Why don't you give me some silver and send them away first? I'll tell you in detail after Yan'er gets married."
"Silver, where do I get any silver? I'll give all my silver to..."
Qian paused and turned to look at Yun Wanrou.
All her money was cheated away by Yun Wanrou and used to build Guangxia Academy.
She originally thought that it would be better if Guangxia Academy accepted more children from official families.
The money invested can be earned back quickly.
But who would have thought that the Yun family were just liars.
Not only did he steal her coffin, but he also specifically recruited boys from poor families.
Not to mention making money, she couldn't even get her capital back!
"Yun Wanrou, take out your dowry and patch up the hole temporarily."
"Mother, when my aunt owed someone money last time, I told the Marquis that my dowry had been used to build Guangxia Academy."
"What do you mean? You also know that Yan'er owes money to the gambling house? So you two teamed up and hid it from me!"
"Mother, I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that the Marquis didn't let us tell you because he was afraid you would worry."
Yun Wanrou pursed her lips and put all the blame on Jiang Huaishu with just one sentence.
Jiang Huaishu was only focused on resolving the matter and did not think carefully about whether Yun Wanrou did it intentionally or unintentionally.
He looked at the thugs, then looked towards the entrance of the marquis's mansion.
The wedding party and passers-by all gathered at the door to watch the fun.
His cheeks turned red and he felt completely embarrassed.
He turned around and pulled Qian aside, deliberately lowering his voice.
"Mom, let's not talk about this for now. We still have the betrothal gifts that Tan Xin sent us. Let's take some out and deal with it."
"Can……"
"Mom, don't hesitate. Today is Yan'er's big day, and you don't want to see them mess things up to the point where they can't handle it!
What if Tan Xin finds out that Yan'er owes money to the gambling house and wants to break off the engagement with us? "
Qian originally wanted to keep the betrothal gifts as money for her funeral.
But when I heard Jiang Huaishu say this, I was immediately scared.
If Tan Xin cancels the engagement, Yan'er and the Marquis's Mansion would lose face.
Not only will the betrothal gifts be returned, but Yan'er will also never be able to marry again.
"Okay, hold them steady first, I'll go get the silver!"
Qian didn't dare to delay and turned around and ran towards the backyard.
Seeing such a big thing happening in the Marquis' Mansion, a trace of disgust flashed across the matchmaker's eyes, and he felt that something was unlucky.
But now that I'm here, it wouldn't be worth it if I didn't take the money and leave.
She turned to look at Jiang Huaishu and urged, "My Lord, is your daughter still going to get married?"
"Marry, of course! Please wait patiently for a while, the bride will come out soon."
Jiang Huaishu no longer had any patience at this moment.
Not to mention dealing with the gambling house thugs, this matchmaker is paid to do the job, why is she here to join in the fun?
He glanced at the matchmaker and set his eyes on Yun Wanrou.
"Wanrou, thank you for taking the trouble to go and pick up Yan'er!"
