Chapter 51: Debt collection and cooperation again
As soon as Shen Qing arrived outside the door of Fuchuntang, she heard the crisp sound of breaking porcelain, followed by the suppressed roar of Marquis Yangling, "Aluan, how long are you going to make trouble!"
Shen Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, could he really bear it?
Tsk, if that's the case, her trip will be in vain if she doesn't add to the fire.
Just as Chanyi was about to knock on the door, the door opened from the inside, and Marquis Yangling strode out with a livid face. Looking up, he could vaguely see a large mess on the ground.
Seeing Shen Qing at the door, the anger in Marquis Yangling's heart suddenly doubled, and his tone was a little higher than usual, "What are you doing here?"
Marquis Yangling's eyes were condensed, and a cold light kept flashing in his eyes. If it hadn't been for Shen Qing, he and Qin Luan would not have been in such trouble.
Shen Qing had a smile on her face and looked very harmless, "Father, could it be that I forgot that when Aunt Xu came in today, I gave him 1,500 taels of silver in advance. Seeing that my father hadn't sent someone to deliver it for a long time, I came to pick it up myself. ”
Now that the news of Marquis Yangling's grand entrance into the outer chamber has spread throughout Shengjing, he will definitely be beaten again in the court tomorrow. Maybe this year's salary will be gone, and Shen Qing is afraid that he will default on his debt.
Hearing the one thousand five hundred taels of silver, Marquis Yangling suddenly felt a surge of energy and blood. This Shen Qing really couldn't open any pot!
Although his heart was boiling with anger, the only reason he had was telling himself that Shen Yi'an would never give up if it was difficult for Shen Qing, so he could only prevaricate, "I have something to do today, let's talk about it tomorrow."
After saying that, Marquis Yangling stepped up and wanted to leave.
Shen Qing took a step forward and stopped in front of him, "I know that as a prince, my father is busy with official duties and cannot do such shameless things as defaulting on debts, but I am afraid that my father will be too obsessed with government affairs and forget about it. Regarding this matter, although one thousand five hundred taels of silver is nothing to my father and me, it would not sound good if word spread that the father-in-law owed his daughter-in-law money."
Marquis Yangling's hands clenched into fists in his sleeves, and he almost burst out, "If you hadn't been the one to interfere, how could such a thing have spread out!"
However, after thinking about it carefully, he still suppressed his temper, but the boredom in his tone could not be concealed, "You are the mistress of the Hou Mansion, and all the money in the account is in your hands. You can just take it from there." ”
Hearing this, Shen Qing's eyes flashed with a smile, and she moved a small step to the side to make way for Marquis Yangling.
At this time, Marquis Yangling still didn't know how much trouble his casual remarks today would bring in the future.
After the account was finished, Shen Qing was not in a hurry to go back, but walked towards the house.
When Shen Qing came in, Qin Luan was leaning on the soft couch and sipping the tonic soup. There was no trace of fatigue or grievance on his face after the quarrel with Marquis Yangling.
Seeing Shen Qing, Qin Luan stood up slightly, poured her a cup of tea and brought it to her.
Shen Qing took it and raised a smile, "It seems that Aunt Xu is still used to it."
Qin Luan's lips curled up with a hint of mockery, "How can I not get used to the extravagant food and clothing and the hordes of servants?"
After Shen Qing sent the servants away, she said, "As far as I know, Aunt Xu is not a hot-tempered person."
On the first day of his entry, he angrily slammed the door of Marquis Yangling and left. This was not Qin Luan's temperament.
Qin Luan smiled, with a charming look on his face and eyes. His beauty was a bit charming and endearing, "I've been a substitute for so long, so it's not an exaggeration to lose my temper."
Qin Luan has known Yanglinghou for ten years and knows him very well. Although Yanglinghou is angry now, it won't be long before he gets close to him again.
Shen Qing didn't speak anymore and drank tea by himself.
After the two were silent for a long time, Qin Luan couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Shen Qing, let's talk about another cooperation."
A hint of curiosity arose in Shen Qing's eyes, "I wonder what kind of cooperation Aunt Xu would like to discuss with me?"
Qin Luan's eyes were full of seriousness, "I'm at your disposal. How about you help me investigate the Qin family's case?"
Since Shen Qing left last time, Qin Luan had thought carefully about it. She was alone, let alone exploring what happened back then. Even leaving the house where her body and mind were imprisoned was a luxury. Although Yang Linghou He loved her a lot, but it was only in matters of love between men and women. Whether he could rely on his deception over the past ten years to investigate the case was the best answer, so Qin Luan was eager to find another ally.
And Shen Qing was the best candidate she identified.
Shen Qing did not comment, just raised his eyes and looked into her eyes, "Why don't you, Aunt Xu, tell me first, apart from finding out information from Mu Linyuan for me, what additional value do you have to me?"
Ten years have passed since the Qin family case, and most of the evidence has been lost in the long river of time. It is not easy to overturn the case. What's more, Qin Luan's so-called grievances among the Qin family are just her personal imagination.
Qin Luan's eyes flashed before he said, "Although it is my first day to marry into Yanglinghou Mansion, I can still see the situation in the manor. Although you hold the power of being the head of the manor, there are some things , I will still be shackles after all, but I am different. I don’t have a family to consider, so I don’t need to worry or hesitate. I act based on one intention. I am willing to be a sharp knife in your hand. In addition, since you have investigated me, you also You should be clear about Mu Linyuan's attitude towards me. Apart from me, no one in the world is more like my mother than me. This is also the reason why Mu Linyuan indulges me without any bottom line again and again. Moreover, looking at the disgusting Don’t you find it interesting that people kill each other?”
After finishing speaking, Qin Luan looked firmly into Shen Qing's eyes, fearing that she would directly refuse.
Shen Qing looked at Qin Luan's soft and beautiful face and smiled suddenly. She had to say that Qin Luan's proposal made her very tempted.
"Could it be that Aunt Xu's dream was shattered and her love turned to hatred?"
Qin Luan drank all the tonic soup in the bowl, put the porcelain bowl on the table aside, and then said, "It's not about love to hate, it's just that I suddenly woke up after being confused for many years, and now I want to What we want is to find out what happened to the Qin family back then."
Shen Qing put down the tea cup in his hand, "How do you want me to help you?"
Seeing that Shen Qing had this intention, Qin Luan's eyes flashed brightly, "You only need to give me a few available people, and you can always know what I have checked."
"I will arrange for some girls and boys to come over for you in a moment. The person you want is inside."
Seeing Shen Qing stand up and prepare to leave, Qin Luan stood up to see her off, with a bit of sincerity in her eyes, "Qin Luan thanked the young madam. If the young madam has any instructions from now on, Qin Luan will do his best."
Shen Qing paused and turned to look at Qin Luan, "I believe Aunt Xu will not let me down."
Qin Luan, like Mu Lingyue, is a quiet, gentle beauty. She looks docile and harmless on weekdays, but once forced into a corner, they can do anything like die together.
…
As soon as Shen Qing returned to Tinglan Courtyard, Haitang handed over three invitations, "Young Madam, this has just been sent from Duke Jiang's Mansion. Miss Jiang is holding a hairpin ceremony on April 20th, and invites you and Madam to attend."
Shen Qing took it, glanced at it briefly and gave it to Chanyi, "I understand. The Third Young Master's leg injury has not healed, so he probably won't be able to go. Madam's side, depending on the situation, the invitation will be left with me first. Bar."
Haitang responded and retreated. Shen Qing asked Chanyi to send two people to Qin Luan and then returned to the house.
About half an hour later, another news came from Chanyi.
