After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

The people from the Biying Casino arrived early in the morning, and they chose the day when Bai Yanlang was taking a day off.

Looking at the IOUs signed with names and fingerprints, he felt dizzy and almost fainted.

"Eleven thousand taels, where can I find so much silver to give you?"

Aunt Qiao was furious and lost her usual gentle and delicate appearance. Bai Muchen's face was already red, swollen and broken from being slapped by her.

"I have warned you before not to associate with those people of all stripes, but you just didn't listen!"

Bai Muchen could only passively endure the beating, crying miserably, "Mother, Fourth Sister harmed Yaoyao and cheated you out of five thousand taels of silver. I saw you were depressed and secretly crying all day. I felt sorry for you and thought I could earn some money to buy you some good things so that you would feel better. I was really bewitched for a while, so I was fooled by those people."

Bai Yanlang was furious. He grabbed the porcelain plate of fruit and threw it at him, glaring at him angrily, "You borrowed the money two months ago, and your fourth sister's incident happened only a few days ago?!"

Bai Muchen didn't dare to hide. The porcelain plate hit his shoulder and he screamed in pain.

He also didn't know why the people from the Biying Casino came to collect the debt so early this morning. He had originally agreed with the manager to give him some more time, and the manager had clearly agreed.

He had planned everything out, setting traps step by step, waiting for Bai Luochuan to enter the game so that he could catch him in the trap.

By then, after signing the IOU and putting their fingerprints on it, no matter what the Lu family does, they will have to pay the money.

"The loan I borrowed two months ago was used by my son to buy some things. He wanted to give them to his father as gifts during the Chinese New Year."

"My son thought he had the ability to earn back the money, so he became bolder."

Bai Muchen didn't dare to say that the Japanese wanted to trick Bai Youyou but was tricked back by Bai Youyou, so he could only put the blame on him.

But he really didn't expect the interest rate to be so high. In just two months, the interest on seven thousand taels of silver had increased to such a high level.

If he knew the interest rate was so high, he would never dare to borrow it even if you beat him to death!

"If Dad doesn't believe me, you can ask Liu Er to get the things out."

Liu Er was pressed to the ground, his face pale. He nodded immediately after hearing this, "Yes, Master. The Third Young Master was very filial. He said that you worked hard for the family and wanted to give you a surprise during the New Year to make you happy. He didn't expect it to be like this."

Bai Muchen knew his father's personality best and knew that he would soften his heart as long as filial piety was mentioned.

Sure enough, the expression on Bai Yanlang's face eased a lot.

"Liu Er, go get all the things out."

Liu Er broke free from the servant's hands and immediately ran to Bai Muchen's yard, collecting several of the most valuable things and bringing them back.

Bai Yanlang casually flipped through the Di Luan and the fine jade pendant, and his anger dissipated by half.

Aunt Qiao also knew that what had happened, and now she could only find a way to raise money to return it to the Must-Win Casino.

She walked to Bai Yanlang and asked with tears in her eyes, "Master, I only have one thousand taels of silver in my hand. What should I do with the rest?"

Just at this moment, Li He walked in.

Bai Yanlang looked up, but did not see Lu and Bai Youyou. His face darkened, "Where are the Madam and the Fourth Miss?"

Li He lowered his head and answered truthfully, "I didn't see the Madam and the Fourth Miss."

Bai Yanlang gnashed his teeth and asked, "Madam, do you know about the loan sharking?"

Li He shook his head. "I guess he doesn't know."

He didn't dare tell the truth. If his wife didn't know, she wouldn't have turned him away. It was very likely that she knew.

"Ugh!"

Bai Yanlang's brows were twisted into a knot, and he was very annoyed.

The people from the Biying Casino only gave seven days. If he failed to pay the money, they would definitely make a scene and let everyone know.

The eldest son has a mistress, the third son borrows money and doesn't pay it back, the fifth daughter has an affair with someone else...

Each and every one of these things is so shameful!

He raised his eyes to look at Aunt Qiao, "Do you really only have one thousand taels of silver?"

"My dear husband, the fourth lady cheated me out of five thousand taels last time, and I really only have this one thousand taels of silver left."

Aunt Qiao's eyes were red, and her tone was full of grievance, "Last time, the disaster relief in South City cost two thousand taels, and Mu Lin's wedding... add up all these things, you can do the math yourself."

"You're still feeling wronged!"

When Bai Yanlang thought about the cost of the silver, the anger that he had just suppressed suddenly rose to his head again.

He pointed at Aunt Qiao with a shaking finger and said, "Look at the good children you have brought up. Instead of trying to bring honor to me, they have made me lose face!"

Bai Yanlang's finger almost poked Aunt Qiao's face. She took a step back, covering her lips with a handkerchief, tears falling down her face.

"If the manor was still there, the fourth young lady could return the five thousand taels, and we could collect the rest by scraping together the money."

Bai Yanlang snorted coldly, "Don't worry about the five thousand taels. As early as the next day, Youyou asked the legal representative of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion to buy food and fodder and send it to the border!"

Aunt Qiao's eyes widened when she heard this. She couldn't help but raise her voice, "Five thousand taels were used to buy food and fodder?!"

Seeing that everyone in the room was looking at her, she knew she had lost her composure and said with an embarrassed look, "Don't we still have the manor? Zaozhuang has a good location and a large area. It can be sold for at least two thousand taels of silver."

How could Bai Yanlang not know that Zaozhuang could be sold for two thousand taels of silver? The key point was that the manor had already been given away, so how could he make that troublemaker willingly give it out?

Furthermore, if the farm was sold alone, there would only be two thousand taels. Where would the remaining eight thousand taels come from?

"First, organize your dowry and see how much you can gather."

When talking about her dowry, Aunt Qiao's body stiffened. "My husband, you know how little dowry I have. My children will get married in the future, so I can't leave them nothing, right?"

"If you don't pay, where will the money come from?!"

Bai Yanlang was so angry that he couldn't help but jump up and kick Bai Muchen again, "They are all good sons you raised, but they are all troublesome!"

"My dear, my lady must have saved a lot of money over the years. Please ask her to take out some money for emergency use. I will definitely pay her back when I have saved enough money in the future."

"She's not coming back now, where can I get the money?"

Bai Yanlang was very upset. He had asked Li He to trick Lu's mother and daughter back home early in the morning with the same idea in mind, but they didn't fall for it at all.

Aunt Qiao rolled her eyes, "Madam and the fourth young lady have been back home for a while, and the New Year is coming soon. She has to come back to take charge of the affairs of the second house. Why don't you go and take over in person?"

Bai Yanlang didn't respond to her words, but still told Li He to go to the government office to ask for leave.

His official position was not high and it was an idle one, so it made no difference whether he went or not.
