Chapter 89: Now that you are here, let’s bleed some blood before leaving
Seeing Song Qingde's persistence and shamelessness, Jiang Wanning's temper flared up.
She strode forward and raised her hand to slap someone.
He was stopped by Baojuan halfway.
"Ma'am, don't get your hands dirty...use this!"
Seeing Baojuan take out a bamboo board five fingers wide from her sleeve and put it into Jiang's palm, Song Qingde couldn't help but tremble in his heart and subconsciously wanted to dodge.
But it was too late.
Jiang Wanning was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed his chest and slapped him in the face with a cold bamboo board.
"What are you going to do? Is it like this? Or like this?!"
Song Ziwen was shocked that Jiang dared to be so arrogant in public.
He watched helplessly as his father ordered Jiang to slap him in the face with several boards, and then he suddenly reacted and stepped forward to stop him.
"Madam Hou...how could you hit someone so casually?!"
Jiang Wanning was getting a little hot from playing, so he fanned himself with a board.
He turned around and asked Xiao Huaiyu.
"Prince Xiao, did I hit anyone just now? No, right?"
Xiao Huaiyu walked forward and first glanced at Song Qingde, who was dizzy from being beaten, and then looked at Song Ziwen, who was full of anger but did not dare to rush up to fight back.
Finally, he gently shook the fan twice and came to a conclusion.
"Were those people beaten by Madam Hou a human? They were clearly beasts worse than pigs and dogs, an old beast and a young beast."
"you--"
Hearing Xiao Huaiyu's ridicule, Song Ziwen's face turned pale with anger, but due to the other party's power and status, he did not dare to argue with him.
I could only turn my head and look at Song Zhizhi.
"Zhizhi, do you still have a conscience? Your father gave birth to you, raised you, and spoiled you like a treasure, and you just watch outsiders abuse your father?!"
Song Zhizhi's eyes were slightly red, and she was also very angry.
She didn't want to cause too much trouble with the Song family and lose the reputation of both families.
Who would have thought that the Song family would be so shameless. Not only did they not lend a hand to her when she needed help the most, but they also took advantage of her misfortune and stepped on her head, asking her for the 100,000 taels of silver.
If she had seen earlier how ugly the Song family's father and brother were, she should have severed ties with them sooner to avoid being targeted by them!
"Father? Haha... As early as the day we signed the severance agreement, I considered my father dead. If you ask me to burn 100,000 taels of ghost money for him, I'm happy to do so. But if you want 100,000 taels of silver, I'm out of luck!"
Song Qingde was so angry that his face turned red when he heard this, but he still refused to give up easily.
He shook his sleeves.
"Okay, okay! I'll just consider it a waste giving birth to a rebellious daughter like you... But you earned that 100,000 taels of silver by using the Song family's name. It belongs to the Song family's wealth. You must spit it out to me, not a penny left behind—"
Jiang Wanning rolled up his sleeves.
Song Qingde was so frightened that he immediately stopped talking and hid behind his son.
Song Ziwen was also a little afraid of her and took two steps back.
Seeing how cowardly and greedy the two looked like two mangy dogs, Jiang Wanning suddenly felt that it would be troublesome to slap them.
He just sneered and gave the order.
"Chun Hua, go get the account book... Since the Song family wants to settle accounts with Zhi Zhi, let's check them one by one to see who owes whom!"
Since you're here, leave some money before you go.
No one can come here for nothing.
"Yes, ma'am."
Chunhua responded immediately, then glared at the Song father and son with righteous indignation, and walked quickly into the wing room.
Ever since the young lady came back from the celebration banquet and asked for a large sum of money to divorce her husband, the news spread throughout the imperial capital. In the past few days, people from the Song family have been stealthily hanging around outside the marquis's mansion. One or two even shamelessly came to ask for a meeting, but they were all turned away by the guards.
They couldn't see the young lady in the Marquis' Mansion, and now when they heard that the young lady had come to Wanbaozhai, they rushed over following the smell.
It's more annoying than a fly.
Fortunately, the lady had foresight and asked her to check the young lady's previous income and expenditure accounts in advance, and she remembered the ins and outs of every sum of money clearly.
Soon, Chunhua took the account book and handed it to Jiang Wanning.
"Ma'am, the account book is here."
Jiang Wanning didn't raise his hand to take it, but just said lightly.
"Don't show it to me. Just read it to them. Read it loudly so they don't pretend to be deaf."
"Yes, ma'am!"
Chunhua immediately raised her voice, then opened the account book and read out the items one by one.
"On February 13, Song Ziwen asked the young lady for five thousand taels of silver, on the pretext of betrothing him a wife.
On May 21, Song Qingde asked the young lady for one thousand taels of silver on the pretext of celebrating his birthday.
On the third day of July, Song Ziwen borrowed three thousand taels from the young lady on the pretext of raising money for his porcelain business.
On the eighth day of the ninth month, Song Ziwen was cheated in his porcelain business, and he lost all his money and even owed several foreign debts. He cried and asked the lady for 1,500 taels to fill the shortfall.
..."
After hearing the latter part, Song Qingde couldn't help but frown and turned to look at Song Ziwen.
Song Ziwen's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he wished he could shut Chunhua's mouth immediately.
Why didn't he realize before that this girl had such a vicious mouth!
Also, could she please keep her voice down?
Even Song Zhizhi looked at Chunhua with some confusion. How could she remember... that the account book didn't write it in such detail?
Chunhua was still reading with her head down, and the more she read, the more excited she became.
Although the account book was written simply, she remembered clearly the faces of the Song family every time they asked for money.
It’s exciting to think about getting back so much money!
According to the lady's previous habits, she will definitely reward her greatly, so she must perform well!
"S-Stop reading!"
The more he listened to the numbers in the account book, the more frightening they became. Song Ziwen was the first to lose patience and interrupted Chunhua, but he could not accept the bill either, so he started to cheat.
"Zhizhi gave all this voluntarily. We didn't put a knife to her neck and force her to give it... Since she gave us the silver, it's naturally ours! What's the point of you reading this account book?"
Jiang Wanning curled his lips, knowing that the Song family would not admit it, so he asked Chunhua to get a few more IOUs.
He raised his hand and gently threw it on Song Ziwen's face.
"For some of these accounts, just think of them as Zhizhi's reward to you Song family beggars. Zhizhi is generous and won't bother with you... But these IOUs were written in black and white by you. You can't deny them, right?"
"What IOU? I don't recognize it—"
Seeing this, T.V. Soong reached out to grab it.
However, before his fingertips touched the IOU, Xiao Huaiyu kicked it away.
"Get lost! You can't offend the Marquis's wife."
Jiang Wanning turned his head to look at Xiao Huaiyu, and suddenly felt a little emotional. Why isn't this child his own? Is it really true that other people's children are more attractive?
Shaking his head, Jiang Wanning ignored the Song father and son and casually stuffed the IOU back into Chunhua's hands.
Ordered.
"Please keep these IOUs. If the Song family can't pay back the money within a month, I'll report it to the government and have the Song family's business and shop shut down... If they pay it back, I'll give you 10%."
"Thank you, Madam!"
Chunhua was so happy that she cried, and she wanted to kneel down and kowtow to the lady immediately!
She knew that if she listened to the lady, she would become rich!
Seeing Jiang and her group turn around and walk back to the wing room, Song Qingde and Song Ziwen both looked gloomy and collapsed on the ground.
They clearly came here to ask for money, so why are they asking for so much more when they haven't even received the 100,000 taels?! No, didn't they ask Zhizhi for so much money before? Didn't they only ask for it a few times?
"Bang—"
Wait until the gong sounds again.
The father and son suddenly came to their senses and looked towards the center of the stage downstairs.
Song Zhizhi walked onto the stage with Chunhua and a set of glittering glassware. She first gave a brief introduction, then took out several smaller ones and handed them to everyone present for a close look.
T.V. Soong was still somewhat unconvinced.
He felt that since they were all members of the Song family, there was no reason why Song Zhizhi should be better at making money than him.
"Hmph! What 'Qingzhi'? Does she think it's that easy to start a business? The Song family's business has accumulated three generations of reputation... Without the Song family's support behind her, she's nothing! I don't believe her crappy recipe can be sold!"
The other side.
Shen Yu'an tried his best to persuade an old man to take him into the building.
Seeing Song Zhizhi excitedly introducing the glassware in her hands on the stage from afar, Shen Yu'an's eyes flickered slightly. On the one hand, he couldn't help but be attracted by her, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but worry, afraid that she had really collected 200,000 taels.
If possible, he really wanted to go back to a year ago, when Zhizhi's eyes were full of him and her eyes were as bright as they are now.
Xiao Huaiyu was right when he said that it was because he didn't know how to cherish that he lost his most precious girl.
But he knew he was wrong.
Why can't Zhizhi give him another chance?
I was a little absent-minded.
People around have already started bidding.
"Five hundred taels!"
"Eight hundred taels!"
"One thousand taels!"
"One thousand five hundred taels!"
…
"Ten thousand taels!"
Xiao Huaiyu shouted so loudly that even Jiang Wanning who was sitting next to him was startled.
After a pause, she reminded.
"Prince Xiao, I'm not raising the price this time. If no one takes the offer later... you'll have to pay the actual price."
Xiao Huaiyu shook his fan and smiled.
"Don't worry, Madam. It's only ten thousand taels. The Duke's Mansion can afford it.
As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family. I want Fangzi, and I want Zhizhi too."
