Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

After saying this, he lowered his head and sobbed softly.

The two people standing nearby were relieved when they heard him admit it. They stepped forward and handed the bill to Chu Jun and said, "General, look, this is the money you owe to our gambling house. The total is 2,800 taels."

"This is the money owed to our Fengyin Pavilion, a total of seven hundred taels."

Chu Jun had just taken the bill and hadn't had time to take a closer look when he heard them say that they owed a total of three thousand five hundred taels. His hands trembled and he lost his grip on the bill and it fell to the ground.

The two men quickly picked it up and handed it forward, saying, "Here are the details. You can check it carefully with the young master. We definitely did not write anything wrong."

The old lady picked up her walking stick and pounded it hard on the ground. She looked at Zhao Li and said, "Is this the good grandson you have raised? Do you know how much three thousand five hundred taels is? What are you going to pay back with?"

Chu Yue and the others were also stunned. What on earth did he do to owe so much money? She had never seen so much in her life.

Zhao Jing raised his head and looked at the two people with a panicked expression, "You are talking nonsense. How could I owe so much?"

The man from the gambling house looked at him with a hint of disdain in his eyes. Now he finally understood that this man was just a relative of the general's mansion. He actually dared to say that he would be the general's son in the future. The general's character was well known in the city, so how could he want a person with such corrupt character to be his stepson.

So he didn't show much respect in his tone, and snorted, "Our gambling house is a century-old business, how could we do such a thing as cheating? Every amount you owe is clearly recorded on the bill. We will never ask you for a single extra penny."

Chu Jun took the bill and looked at it carefully. Every payment was clear, including when it was owed and what was done. He could not see any problem.

Suddenly he felt a little embarrassed. Zhao Jing obviously couldn't pay back the money, and there was no way his aunt could come up with it.

At this time, Chu Qianyu stepped forward, took the bill in her hand and pretended to look through it, then walked to the old lady and handed it to her, saying, "Grandma, can you take a look?"

It was handed over, and the old lady had no choice but to take it. She read it again, her face was livid, her lips trembled and she couldn't speak. Her heartbeat also quickened. At this moment, she had already thought through the pros and cons.

The money would probably have to be paid by their family. Thinking of this, she felt as if a piece of flesh had been cut off.

But suddenly when he looked down at Chu Qianyu who was standing below, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

He raised his hand and handed the bill to Chu Qianyu, saying, "Qianqian, take a look. My old eyes are blurry and I can't see clearly. But I think it's only been a few days. No matter how much Jing'er squandered, he shouldn't owe 3,500 taels. If there is really a problem, you and the prince have to make the decision for us."

Chu Qianyu glanced at the bill and didn't take it. Instead, she turned around and walked to her seat and sat down. Then she said calmly: "Father has just looked at it. There should be no problem. And the record above is detailed and there are no mistakes. What grandma should worry about now is how to pay back the money."

The old lady withdrew her hand, which was frozen in mid-air, somewhat awkwardly. She didn't expect that Chu Qianyu was becoming less and less respectful to her.

He rolled his eyes at her, then rubbed his forehead and said to Zhao Li: "You should quickly find a way to deal with the mess your grandson has caused. Take out as much as you can."

"Oh, sister, you know our situation. How can we come up with so much silver? You are going to kill us." Zhao Li said with a sad face.

Then he pulled Zhao Jing and said, "Sister, didn't you adopt Jing'er into the General's Mansion? He is now half a member of the General's Mansion. You can't just watch him die. If you really don't save him, then we will be really desperate."

"What? Mother, you want to adopt my aunt's grandson to Ajun? Then what's my son?" Chu Yue stood up excitedly after hearing this and looked at the old lady and questioned.

"Sit down and don't make trouble. We'll talk about this later." The old lady frowned and said irritably.

Then he pointed at Zhao Li and said, "It is definitely impossible for us to take out all of it. Tell me how much you can take out first?"

"We spent a lot of money on the trip, and now we can't even take out five taels. Three thousand five hundred taels is the most we have ever seen in our lives." Zhao Li cried. She wanted to break Zhao Jing's legs. Originally, he might have been adopted by Chu Jun smoothly, but now it must be difficult.

The old lady looked at Yunying again and said confidently, "You are in charge of the household expenses in the mansion now. Find a way to pay back the 3,500 taels to them."

Without waiting for Yunying to answer, Chu Qianyu stood up and sneered, "Ha! Grandmother, you are so arrogant. Do you think our general's mansion can come up with so much money so easily? Don't think I don't know what you are up to! You want mother to use her dowry to make up for it."

Yunying stood up and quickly pulled Chu Qianyu back, winking at her to calm down. But Chu Qianyu gave her a reassuring look and motioned for her to sit down. Yunying hesitated and returned to her original seat and sat down.

The old lady didn't expect Chu Qianyu to break through this layer of paper so directly, and really didn't leave her any face at all.

He was so angry that his face turned purple. He pointed at her with trembling hands and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Chu Jun walked up to Chu Qianyu and said, "Qianqian, you've gone too far. Your grandmother is old now, you shouldn't make her angry like this."

"Doesn't father know about the revenue of the shops and farms under our name? You might as well ask mother how much the house can take out now? Have you forgotten how Madam Man gave the money to her son before?" Chu Qianyu got angry when she saw Chu Jun's foolish filial piety.

If he could have stood up straight, she wouldn't have to come here to protect her mother today.

Without waiting for Chu Jun to ask, Yun Ying immediately walked up to Chu Jun and whispered, "The maximum amount that can be raised from the government account is 500 taels. But after a while, it will be time to purchase goods, and we will need more money. So...it's difficult."

"Father must have heard it."

Chu Qianyu turned around and looked at the hall full of people, and suddenly felt a headache. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind. Since grandma kept looking for trouble, she could avoid her if she couldn't afford to offend her...

Thinking of this, he walked to the corner and pulled Shaoying aside and said, "Go to the palace and ask the emperor to immediately order my father to go to the border and take my mother with him. Also, ask Concubine De to have someone look after my mother's dowry shop. Go quickly and come back quickly."

Chu Jun glanced at his daughter as she left, thinking that she was not going to intervene, and he heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Yunying and asked, "Are you serious about what you just said? In the mansion?"

Yunying was somewhat helpless, and her tone was somewhat blaming: "How could I lie to you? I have been in charge of the household these days. The hole was already big before, and it is not easy to make up for it now. And Qianqian got married a few days ago, and the dowry was also not small. How can I come up with so much money now?"

At this point, he glanced at the old lady sitting above him and complained in a low voice: "Go ask mother if she has any solution. She called these people here. If these people hadn't come, there wouldn't be so many troubles."

Chu Qianyu also came back and said to Chu Jun, "Father, go ask grandma what to do. Mother is not in good health. If it weren't for mother, I wouldn't have come back today."
