Chapter 956 - 956 Collecting Debts!
956 Collecting Debts!
Lin yuelan’s sudden appearance surprised everyone.
Similarly, Lin yuelan’s words made Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing even more dumbfounded.
They had no idea when the country estate changed owners.
It was one thing for the ownership to change, but what was even more bizarre was that the owner was a woman.
Something was wrong.
Wen Yujing immediately reacted.
‘ Jiang Zhennan is clearly in this country estate. Could it be that this wild girl who had suddenly appeared had some relationship with Jiang Zhennan?
‘This is impossible!
‘With Jiang Zhennan’s reputation as a jinx, it is obviously impossible for any woman to get close to him.’
‘So, this woman …’
Wen Yujing stopped crying and squinted her eyes. “Who are you? Why would you appear here? Also, you keep saying that Nan ‘er owes you money. What a joke. What kind of person is my Nan ‘er? He is the famous defender-general of the state in the Long Yan Kingdom. Not to mention his salary, just the reward from the Emperor alone was enough to support the entire General’s residence for a lifetime. How could he still owe you money?
“Tell me, do you want to use your own beauty to coax my family’s Nan ‘Er and then cheat all his money into your own pocket? Otherwise, how could this perfectly fine country estate become the country estate of a wild girl like you who came from who knows where?”
As soon as Wen Yujing finished speaking, Lin yuelan raised her hand and clapped twice.
Lin yuelan said nonchalantly but with obvious sternness and sarcasm, ” my lady is really eloquent! It’s just that my ears don’t seem to be working well!”
She continued, ” I clearly said just now that Jiang Zhennan owes me a large sum of money and can’t pay it back, so he had to mortgage his country estate. Now, Madam is saying that I used my beauty to seduce the great general. However, Madam, I’m very sorry. I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. Jiang Zhennan, the dignified defender-general of the state, does indeed owe me money. If you don’t believe me, you can take a look at this. It’s a contract written in black and white!”
Her tone was filled with sarcasm, and even her pretty face had a mocking expression.
After saying that, Lin yuelan took out a debt paper.
Wen Yujing’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the paper.
She said in shock, “This … How is this possible?”
This piece of paper was indeed a contract of debt, and the signature of the debtor was Jiang Zhennan.
Lin yuelan gritted her teeth and said with a smile, ” What’s impossible about that? ”
“Why does he owe you so much money? ” Wen Yujing asked.
More than three hundred thousand silver taels!
Although Jiang Zhennan was not short of money, he could still take out 30000 to 50000 taels of silver instantly. However, it was impossible for him to take out 300000 taels of silver in one go.
Unless he sold the items that the Emperor had given him, however, everyone knew that these items could not be sold. Otherwise, he would be charged with looking down on the Emperor, which was a crime that would cost him his head.
Lin yuelan’s beautiful face had a teasing and mocking smile on it as she said, “Well, it’s a long story. But why should I tell you? And who are you?” She asked the obvious.
Her sharp eyes swept over the dark-faced Jiang Yunfeng.
Wen Yujing’s face turned blue. She gritted her teeth and said, ” you …”
After a while, she stood up with an overbearing aura and looked at Lin yuelan with a condescending attitude.
She said, ” Hmph, we’re from Duke Zhengguo’s mansion! Jiang Zhennan is the eldest legitimate son of our Duke Zhenguo’s mansion!”
She really didn’t want to say “eldest son,” but in order to suppress this woman’s aura, she could admit that.
When Lin yuelan heard this, her big eyes narrowed into crescent moons. She smiled and said, ” Oh, so it’s Duke Zhengguo and his wife who have come to visit. I’ve been disrespectful!”
Immediately after, she asked very doubtfully, ” However, I don’t know why the Duke and his wife knelt in front of the gate of my country estate. Could it be that there’s something that you need this lady to do?” She was deliberately distorting the reason for their visit.
Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing’s faces turned even darker.
They didn’t know if this girl who had suddenly appeared was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. She changed the topic so quickly. Moreover, she was so disrespectful to them.
Jiang Yunfeng shouted angrily, ” I don’t care if you’re really ignorant or not. I don’t care who you are. The person I’m looking for is that unfilial son, Jiang Zhennan. I know that he’s inside. Can you go and call him out for me, girl?”
The anger in their hearts was rising. They didn’t come here to listen to an unrelated person talk nonsense.
However, he never thought that even after this wretched girl knew his identity, she still did not take them seriously.
Lin yuelan narrowed her eyes and said with a cold expression, ” I don’t know if Jiang Zhennan is inside or not. But it’s a fact that Jiang Zhennan owes me three hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver. Even if he pawns this country estate to me, he’ll only be able to return thirty thousand taels. There are still three hundred thousand taels to pay. However,”
Her sharp eyes swept back and forth between Jiang Yunfeng and his wife, and her voice became even colder as she continued, ” Since you said that Jiang Zhennan is the eldest son of Duke Zhenguo’s mansion, and you are his parents, then I’ll have to trouble you. Duke Zhengguo’s mansion will pay for the remaining three hundred thousand taels. After the money is paid, I won’t stop you from looking for Jiang Zhennan.”
Suddenly being asked to pay a debt by a wild girl, and it was the jinx’s debt, Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing were stunned at first, and then they were furious.
Jiang Yunfeng cursed angrily, ” What a wild girl who doesn’t know her place! You actually dare to ask this Duke to clear a debt. I think you are tired of living! Men, take this girl down!”
When the Duke and his wife came out, they naturally brought a large number of guards to protect their safety.
Therefore, at Jiang Yunfeng’s command, two guards immediately came over with swords.
Xiao Ding and his two other companions immediately stood in front of Lin yuelan to protect her, confronting them.
Jiang Yunfeng pointed angrily at Xiao Ding and the others and ordered, ” Tie them up and kill them!”
Of course, the two guards couldn’t stop Xiao Ding and the others. Immediately, a large group of guards, about twenty of them, swarmed forward.
They were instantly outnumbered!
Xiao Ding and the other two soon couldn’t hold on.
Xiao Ding said to Lin yuelan, “Miss Lin, go in and find the boss!”
