Chapter 100 Debt Repayment
What Xiao Lingxiao held in her hand was the IOU written for her by Xiao Shuyong at the beginning. Xiao Shuyong thought that he could rob Xiao Lingxiao's money under the guising of Xiao Fengming's disappearance, but he didn't know that that incident was completely beyond his expectation. It not only shocked Jing Zhaoyin, but also the one million taels of silver bills given to him by Xiao Lingxiao also disappeared for no reason. The old lady is also very clear about this matter, but she just saw the IOU written by Xiao Shuyong himself.
Xiao Shuyong's handwriting was obvious, and in order to avoid Xiao Shuyong's debt later, Xiao Lingxiao deliberately forced him to stamp a big seal on the IOU. Whether it was Xiao Shuyong or the old lady, it was absolutely impossible to deny it.
Xiao Lingxiao looked at the gloomy old lady and smiled, "If the old lady doesn't say anything about family law and get out of the house today, I, as a daughter and a granddaughter, I'm really embarrassed to show you this thing. The robbers who robbed Feng Ming proposed a ransom of one million taels. Not only did my father not redeem Feng Ming, but he did not return the one million taels of silver bills I borrowed from running around. Although I was lucky enough to win two million taels of silver, most of the silver was used for industry, and the rest was also in the hands of Fengming. When Fengming was not there, I didn't know where the silver was. Of the one million taels taken away by my father, about 800,000 taels were borrowed from Wanguanzhuang. The old lady should also know the truth of debt repayment. I originally planned to wait for Feng Ming to come back and let him find a way to sell the industry under my name to repay it, but now I don't think it's necessary.
With that, Xiao Lingxiao held his head high and showed the silver ticket again, then put it away and said to the old lady, "I heard that my father is busy with the government, so please ask the old lady to do justice. When the Xiao family returned my money, let's talk about the family rules.
After Xiao Lingxiao finished saying this, everyone's eyes in the room focused on the old lady. Seeing that the old lady was completely not as proud as she was just now, her face turned blue. She couldn't sleep before and calculated how to deal with Xiao Lingxiao today, but she forgot that she was still holding such an IOU in her hand. One idea after another flashed through the old lady's mind, but she rejected them one by one. She now has a clear view of Xiao Lingxiao's face. This girl is simply not afraid of heaven and earth. She doesn't care about the face of the Xiao family or the reputation of any woman. In case of her getting angry, she may publicize the matter that the Xiao family owes her money everywhere. In that case, the Xiao family will lose face.
Daw! If I had known that it was so tricky today, I shouldn't have left her life for a moment. At that time, if the weight of poison had been increased a little more, there would have been no such annoy thing jumping in front of me today!
The old lady regretted that she couldn't say a word. At this time, the old lady saw this and hurriedly said, "We are all a family. How can we say who borrows whom and who owes whom? Ling Xiao, don't open your mouth and shut your mouth. Our Xiao family is not those merchants who are not in the flow. You got the two million taels of silver at the beginning. It is reasonable to pay a part of the public, but you are young, don't know the rules, and you don't pay it to your home. As a mother, I should have told you these things, but the old lady loves you and said that you have lost your mother and abandoned a marriage. In the future, if you want to talk about marriage, you are a little worse than others. If you have two million taels of dowry and come to your mother-in-law's house in the future, your family will not underestimate you.
The old lady said, stood up with difficulty, walked to Xiao Lingxiao, straightened her stomach, pulled Xiao Lingxiao's hand, patted gently, and said softly, "Lingxiao, don't think that there is no one who loves you in this family. Whether it's the old lady or your father, you miss it. For your thought. As a mother, I can't take care of all aspects. You should also go to my place more. If you have anything to say, just tell your mother. You can't twist it.
Xiao Lingxiao looked at the first lady coldly. Her face was full of motherly, with endless sarcasm in her eyes. Xiao Lingxiao pulled back her hand and knew that she hadn't finished the play, so she didn't speak.
Sure enough, the old lady turned to the old lady again and said obediently, "Mother, no matter how wrong Lingxiao is, it is the master's blood. Seeing that the Spring Festival is coming, don't be angry with a child and talk about being expelled from home. We listen to it. Isn't it heart-wratic when you say it yourself? If the child is not disciplined well, it is all that the daughter-in-law is not perfect. Mother, please don't be angry.
The old lady doesn't like the old lady who pretends to be a good person at all, but now she only has such a step to go down, and the old lady has to sigh and said, "I'm old, and I don't want to take care of the affairs of my children and grandchildren." She raised her eyes and took a look at Xiao Lingxiao and said in a low voice, "It's the Spring Festival. You are the eldest daughter, and you are still so unfounded. Aren't you going to humiliate the Xiao family? I asked you to close the door so that you can learn the rules honestly! Tomorrow I will send someone to teach you the rules. If you don't learn well, you will be punished! Go back!"
The old lady issued an eviction order, but Xiao Lingxiao seemed to leave in a hurry.
Although the old lady can sometimes come up with some vicious tricks, she is old after all, and she is still dedicated to the Xiao family. The means she can use are still limited, so Xiao Lingxiao doesn't care much. In contrast, Xiao Lingxiao still wants to know what the first lady is thinking now.
The last time, the eldest lady didn't reveal herself at all, but it didn't go as she expected. Was she unwilling or didn't care?
Xiao Lingxiao walked slowly to the old lady with a smile. First, she took a look at the eldest lady's raised belly, then looked up, looked at her, and whispered, "During this period, everything has been complicated, and I haven't had time to tell my mother that I have delivered the stone you asked me to give to Princess Haiyan. I heard from the fifth prince that it was a good piece of gold and jade, and he also said that after Princess Haiyan returned to the palace, he would give it to the best craftsman to break it and make jewelry.
Hearing Xiao Lingxiao mention the stone, her face suddenly changed. Xiao Zechun and Xiao Zelu, who were sitting in the distance, couldn't help shrinking when they remembered what happened in Muyi Garden that day. When the old lady saw the appearance of these three people, she knew that Xiao Lingxiao must have had some intention in suddenly mentioning this matter. But before she asked more questions, Xiao Lingxiao said, "Yes, I also saw Qi Guifei when I entered the palace this time. I heard that the eldest lady and Qi Guifei were of the same clan, and she also deliberately mentioned it in front of the emperor..."
Halfway through the words, Xiao Lingxiao suddenly seemed to realize something and looked at the old lady, let alone.
What happened in the palace is unknown to others, but the old lady knows. And the old lady also knew that the eldest lady went to the palace to see the noble concubine before the incident. After listening to Xiao Lingxiao's words, the old lady immediately thought that these recent events were implicated by Xiao Lingxiao and even the Xiao family. They were all caused by the eldest lady! If that's the case, the eldest lady dragged the Xiao family into danger in order to vent her personal anger!
As soon as she thought of this, the old lady suddenly became angry, raised her hand and slapped the small square table next to her. Suddenly, hot pain came from the palm of her hand. But the pain also calmed the old lady down. She looked at the old lady and saw that the old lady was staring at Xiao Lingxiao fiercely, as if she was about to peel her into her stomach immediately. And she looked at Xiao Lingxiao again and found that Xiao Lingxiao's eyebrows were tight, as if she really regretted what she had just said.
Although the eldest lady has never shown hostility to Xiao Lingxiao, the old lady knows best that the eldest lady hates Xiao Lingxiao to the bone and has to kill her. Although what she did this time made the old lady angry, the matter was over, as long as she warned the old lady afterwards. After all, the eldest lady is easy to discipline, and Xiao Lingxiao must die!
The old lady thought of this, swallowed this breath, and shouted angrily to Xiao Lingxiao, "Didn't I let you go back!" What are you waiting for here?"
Xiao Lingxiao grabbed Bao Ronger, who wanted to get angry, and hurried out.
When she came out of Xianglinyuan, Bao Ronger couldn't help saying angrily, "Miss! Just listen to the old lady yelling at you! I might as well let me go now..."
Xiao Lingxiao pulled Bao Ronger fiercely, and then stopped her words. At this time, Bao Ronger remembered that there were narcissus with her, so she had to hum and say no. Xiao Lingxiao smiled and said, "After all, the old lady is my elder, and I still have to listen to her words."
Xiao Lingxiao said so, but she still secretly endured a stream of anger in her heart. If she hadn't had that IOU today, she might have really been joined by the old lady. During this period of time, things were so complicated that Xiao Lingxiao almost forgot his hatred for these Xiao family. Now that this hatred and anger surged up, Xiao Lingxiao suddenly became much more irritable.
After coming to this world, Xiao Lingxiao quickly set a goal for himself. One of them is to find a way to gain a foothold in the world alone and have enough money and power. The second point is to revenge. All the people who make her suffer misfortune are her. This account does not count. No way!
Xiao Lingxiao walked back while thinking about these things. As soon as he entered the Qinghe Courtyard, he saw the maid come forward with a smile on her face and reported, "Miss, I'm so happy! Master Sanbiao came back safely!"
Although Xiao Lingxiao had long known that Xiao Fengming was safe, she had to pretend to be surprised in front of these people. She quickly ran into the main hall, but found that Xiao Fengming was not there. She turned to go inside, but quickly smelled a fragrance.
Xiao Lingxiao slowed down and warmed the cabinet door. He was immediately stunned by the scene in the room.
In the middle of the room, Xiao Fengming stood in full clothes, and he was actually holding a large bouquet of fragrant roses in his hand!
Xiao Fengming saw Xiao Lingxiao standing there and hurriedly came forward with a bouquet of flowers. Seeing that no one followed him, he smiled and whispered, "Yesterday, the Wolf showed me a lot of things from your previous world. I heard that in that in that world, these flowers have special meaning, so I God deliberately came back. You are used to calling this kind of flower roses, right? This flower stem has thorns, so it is called an assassin here... It's better to be in that world. Ling Xiao, do you like it?"
