Guan Surong looked at Madam Song. Although her face was a little pale, she was still unwilling to believe what she thought of. She explained, "Madam, I'm afraid this is just a misunderstanding. My mother and I don't owe any debts to anyone."
Mrs. Guan, who was standing by, was experienced and looked more natural than Guan Surong. She immediately said to Mrs. Song, "Surong is right. Although we are poor, we have never failed to repay our debts. We are upright and honest."
"You two are unwilling to admit it now that it has come to this?" Madam Song was also a discerning person. She immediately glanced at Madam Guan and said, "The debt collector said that if you don't pay back the money within three days, he will bring people to your house to ask for the money. It is clearly written in black and white that Su Rong had made an engagement with their family and paid a betrothal gift, but who knew that Su Rong secretly ran away and married someone else. Since you have accepted the betrothal gift and Su Rong has become someone else's concubine, this marriage will definitely not be possible. So you should return the betrothal gift to the other party as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the debt collector comes to your house, who knows what will happen."
Guan Surong's face turned pale. She had never thought about how the Liu family could come to the capital and even know where she was now. Although it was unbelievable, Guan Surong didn't care about much else and only thought about how to get rid of this matter.
Madam Guan quickly tried to make excuses for herself, "The money was collected by the master before he died and was used to pay off his debts. We mother and daughter didn't get a penny. If they want money, they should ask the master for it. Now they are forcing us two women and children. What kind of family norm is this? I think the Liu family wants to force us mother and daughter to death. Please don't pay any attention to them, madam."
"I didn't want to bother with it at first, but who knew that the Liu family said that if you didn't pay back the money, they would bring many people to the door to make trouble. The Song Mansion is an official family after all. If so many people came to the door to collect debts, I don't know what people outside would say. The master is now an official in the court. If the censor finds out and reports to the emperor, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold this position anymore." Madam Song had long disliked the mother and daughter, and immediately drove them away. "It's not that our Song Mansion can't accommodate you two, but now there is really no way. If my sister can't pay back the money, we have to ask you two to move out. Those debt collectors know that you are not here, and I'm afraid they won't come to bother you anymore."
After hearing this, Mrs. Guan's face also became a little grayer, but she still held on, "Madam, no matter what, we are still relatives."
"It's natural for relatives and sisters-in-law to help each other, but our family has done enough. Who knew you would cause such a big mess? How can we cover for you?" Mrs. Song looked unhappy, and it was obvious that she had made plans long ago.
"Then let me see the old lady first, report back and then do the next thing." Mrs. Guan still has the last straw of life.
Mrs. Song laughed even more when she heard this. "I advised my sister not to waste her efforts. When the old lady heard that it would affect the master's official reputation, she was so angry that she stayed indoors and refused to see anyone. You should pack your bags and leave quickly. If there are not enough people, I will ask my maids to help you pack. You will be able to pack quickly. It's still early today, so move out early."
Mrs. Song ordered them to leave, and Mrs. Guan and Guan Surong no longer had the nerve to continue living here.
Madam Guan looked at Guan Surong and said cruelly, "This matter was caused by the disaster in the past. They want to marry Surong, but Surong is still a girl and has not married yet. If the betrothal gifts cannot be paid, just marry the girl to their family."
Guan Surong, standing aside, sobbed and called out to Madam Guan. Although she was unwilling, she did not dare to say anything more at this time.
Mrs. Song only responded calmly after hearing this, "If you have any good solution, just go and discuss it with the Liu family. If they are still willing to accept Su Rong and marry her, then it will be a good ending for you and Su Rong, right?"
Seeing this, Madam Guan really didn't dare to say anything else. She just said dejectedly, "If that's the case, then Su Rong and I will move out quickly. Otherwise, I'm afraid that we'll dirty the front door of the Song Mansion and make my sister-in-law unhappy."
Madam Song pretended not to hear what Madam Guan said. She rolled her eyes at Madam Guan and then looked at her mother standing aside. "Arrange a few people to help, so that the mother and daughter can move out quickly. I don't want to see them again before dark."
The mother beside Madam Song said yes and smiled at Madam Song, "Don't worry, Madam. Madam Guan and Miss Guan only brought two sets of clothes when they came. It's easy to pack them. The rest are all things in our house. I will not let outsiders take things away from the house."
Mrs. Guan, who was standing by, was so angry that she almost vomited blood after hearing such words, while Guan Surong, who was standing by, was already crying her heart out.
The mother beside Madam Song strode towards Madam Guan and said with a fake smile, "Madam, please go ahead. I will go and help you clean up."
Guan Surong and Madam Guan were driven out of the Song Mansion before dark. Guan Surong only had a few jewelry and the silver Wen Tingbo gave her a few days ago. Guan Surong thought about renting a yard to live in, and then take Madam Guan over after she asked Wen Tingbo to take her in.
Mrs. Guan was now worried. "The Liu family has already known where we are in the capital. If we continue like this, we don't know when they will come knocking on our door. We are alone and helpless, and there is nothing we can do now."
"Don't worry, mother. We just need to be careful. I'll find a side room to live in first. Once I've contacted some people and have a firm foothold, I'll bring you over." Guan Surong is still thinking about going to the Marquis' Mansion. Even if she's a concubine, she can at least live a more affluent life.
Mrs. Guan saw that Guan Surong was a person with her own ideas, so she could only sigh repeatedly and said to Guan Surong, "Good girl, mother believes in your ability, but if you don't marry him now, I don't know how to pay back so much betrothal gifts. That rich man Liu is not someone who is easy to get along with... It's better for you to marry Liu Hui..."
Before Madam Guan could finish her words, several servants ran out from the dark, tied Madam Guan and Guan Surong up, put them into the carriage, and took them away.
