Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Chapter 117: The Merchant Goes to Zhou Mansion to Collect Debts

Suying wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "I'll be back right away. What's the matter?"

"It is said that several grocery stores and fish stalls have come to collect money." The little maid seemed frightened, "The vegetables, chicken, duck, fish, pork and other things for our old lady's birthday have not been paid."

"All the merchants came to the palace to collect their debts."

Suying thought to herself that this was not good.

He hurried back to Rongxitang.

Old Madam Zhou had fainted once and just now she woke up slowly.

She leaned back on the bed.

Don't understand why this happened?

"Ms. Cui. Can you tell me again what happened?" Old Madam Zhou clutched the bed curtain tightly.

"Madam, many shops came to ask for money, saying that all the things you used for your birthday were on credit."

Cui was so anxious that she almost cried.

She knew nothing about it. No money ever passed through her hands.

Just take the monthly salary.

What do these things have to do with her?

"It's all because of Murong. She worked as a comprador for her good-for-nothing brother."

Cui cursed:

"I asked the comprador in the mansion to take a look, and he said that this guy is very shady. Many of the prices he bought there are unfair."

"Since the price is unfair, we can't suffer this loss in silence."

"Old lady, you can only swallow this loss in silence." Cui cried with tears and snot.

"The shopkeeper said that if you hadn't said the price was unfair, all the goods you sent to the mansion would have been top-notch goods."

"You get what you pay for. It's different from those crap on West Street."

Old Madam Zhou vomited blood when she mentioned it.

"What good stuff was there at the banquet that day?"

Cui rolled her eyes and said, "They say that we in the Zhou family pass off inferior goods as good ones and hide the good things for our own enjoyment. I wonder where we bought rotten fish and shrimp for our guests."

"He kept mumbling: If you couldn't say it well, why didn't you mention it at the time?"

Facing the unreasonable behavior of the shopkeeper outside, Mrs. Zhou was filled with grief and indignation that a lowly vendor dared to bully the Zhou family.

"They are talking nonsense. I won't give them any money."

Su Ying thought it over and sorted it out.

She still felt sorry for Zhou Chengru. In her mind, Zhou Chengru was the lofty Tanhua Lang.

He shouldn't worry about things like money.

"Madam, now is not the time to act on impulse. If the shopkeeper dares to bring people with him, it means that our Zhou Mansion will suffer a loss."

"It's not what they want." Old Madam Zhou was furious. "I'd better ask Su Rutang to crawl over here."

"Tell her to handle it."

Su Ying also blamed Su Rutang in her heart. With a husband like Zhou Chengru, she should be happy even if she had to kneel down and serve him every day.

"Second Madam is not feeling well right now."

Madam Zhou was so angry that she pounded her fist on the bed. "Let her crawl over here. She usually enjoys the glory brought to her by Chengru and uses Chengru's salary. How can she not even do this?"

Su Ying moved her lips, "The eldest lady used the second master's salary. The second lady used her dowry."

Madam Zhou: “…”

"She enjoys the glory brought by the Chengru official position. She must be made to pay the money."

So Young looked towards Choi.

Cui waved her hands hurriedly, "Don't look at me, I don't know anything."

Aunt Zhao and Aunt Liu are here.

They were both worried about their future lives, and they raised their own opinions. "Madam, I have a humble opinion. Do you think I should say it?"

The old lady was very upset.

"Don't say it if you don't want to."

Aunt Zhao hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "Why not let Second Madam continue to be the head of the household, and let Third Madam be her assistant. This way Second Madam won't be affected in her health, and Third Madam won't be distressed because of lack of money."

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she thought it was a great idea.

He hurriedly asked someone to tell Su Rutang.

Suying had to make another trip. She felt sorry for Zhou Chengru, but she also hated Aunt Zhao.

I told her everything I had said.

Su Rutang sneered:

"Does the word 'big injustice' appear on my face?"

"The Zhou family really has no dignity at all. The second master's salary was given to the eldest lady and her mistress, and my dowry was used to support the family. I really don't know why."

Suying only felt like thunder was rumbling in the sky.

"Grandma has a lover..." Su Ying ignored etiquette and stared at Su Rutang in surprise.

Su Rutang sighed.

"It is said that she had a lover before she married the master. But the other party's wife is a Hedong lion, and the man did not dare to take the grandmother home." Su Rutang shook his head deliberately, "Poor our Second Master. I thought she was the only chaste woman in the Great Zhou in a hundred years."

"Bah, shameless." Suying couldn't help but spit.

"Is she worthy?"

"I don't have any money to give out. But I'll tell you a coincidence. The eldest lady is in a hurry to run away, and the drunkard is also in a hurry to leave. The yard they bought can still be sold for several thousand taels of silver. It's better to sell all the houses under the names of the brothers and sisters."

Su Rutang knew that Zhou Wenyi had two property deeds.

It's easy to find out if you're willing to check.

Seeing that Su Rutang knew what was in her mind, Su Ying knew that she would not easily give out the money.

He hurried back and told the old lady what Su Rutang had said.

The old lady and Cui couldn't help but curse a few words.

She ordered someone to investigate.

The steward who received the order took the two taels of silver sent by Chunxi and went to ask the nearby neighbors and some of Jiuhunchong's drinking buddies.

Wang Yuehong is the mistress.

It is necessary to comfort those who are collecting debts.

They were all people who had worked their way up from the bottom of society, so their words were full of conflict. They were also sarcastic, saying that without housekeeper Su Rutang, the Zhou Mansion was no better than the backyard of a seventh-rank official.

Someone snorted:

"Not as good as the steward of a fifth-rank official."

Those shopkeepers uttered harsh words.

He said he would give the Zhou family another three days, and if it still didn't work, he would report it to the authorities.

Wang Yuehong had no choice but to speak sweet words and send these troublesome people away.

Her face was grim.

"Bah. Su Rutang is a second-married woman, what the hell is she? How dare she compete with me?"

Xin'er looked away worriedly.

"Third Madam. What should we do after three days? There will be no money in the account." Xin'er never thought that housekeeper Murong Feiyue would dare to run away with the Zhou Mansion's money.

Wang Yuehong held her cards tightly.

"Murong Feiyue is such a bitch. She usually pretends to be a weak and innocent girl, but she is actually full of thieves, prostitutes and cruel people."

"Follow me to Rongxi Hall."

When Wang Yuehong arrived at Rong Xitang, she started crying.

Let the old lady know that she was humiliated by several shopkeepers.

"They also threatened us. They said they would give us three days."

Madam Zhou frowned in disgust.

"They are right. You are a useless fool. You can't even handle such a small matter. You have brought trouble to the reputation of the Zhou family. Cheng Zhang has always been so arrogant that you have no plans at all."

Cui is like a saw-mouthed gourd.

But this is not the case in front of the illegitimate son, and he even looks down on this illegitimate son's wife.

"You are the third wife of the Zhou family after all. Since they have said that about you, you should give them money. You have so much private money, why not make up for it first?"

The old lady also expressed her deep agreement.

"Your mother is right. You are guarding a mountain of gold and you would not be willing to pull out a single strand."

Wang Yuehong: “…”

"Where do I get my own private money?"

"Nonsense. You took the Zhou family's money to your Wang family." The old lady's eyes widened with anger. "We are kind-hearted and don't bother with you."

Cui didn't let her stay.

"Get out of here right now, it's unlucky to cry like that."

Wang Yuehong was scolded for no reason.

When I got back, I was so angry and felt aggrieved that I lay on the bed and sobbed quietly.

Zhou Chengzhang drank.

Came back after being wronged outside.

Seeing Wang Yuehong lying on the bed crying, he immediately felt unlucky. He pulled her hair and asked, "Are you crying again?"

"How unlucky I am to marry a woman like you."

Wang Yuehong quickly knelt down.

"I'm not crying. I just got some sand in my eyes, so I lay down and closed my eyes for a while." She knelt down to take off Zhou Chengzhang's shoes. "Third Master, I heard something outside today. I wonder if it's true or not?"

"What?" Zhou Chengzhang sat on the bed.

Loosen the buttons on your collar.

"It is said that Second Grandma did not come back two nights ago."
