Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore
Chapter 47 Becoming a Creditor
Song Wanyin's eyes darkened. She still remembered that when the rebels invaded the capital, they burned, killed and looted, and the Taiwei Mansion was also looted.
The Taiwei Mansion had been inhabited by loyal ministers for generations, and they laid the foundation for the huge empire with their lives. However, all the merits of their ancestors were plundered, leaving only an empty shell.
Sooner or later, she will get this account back from the rebels.
Since Jiang Lanyue had secret dealings with the rebels, he was guilty of treason and collusion with the enemy.
Perhaps we can start the investigation from this incident, follow the clues, and wipe out the nest of the remnants of the rebels in one fell swoop.
"During this period of time, you should closely observe Jiang Lanyue's whereabouts and make sure not to alert the enemy. Find out the next move of the rebels."
Bai Shaobo bowed with both hands and agreed:
"I obey my orders!"
It turned out to be the former General of the Cavalry, Bai Shaobo, who disappeared into the vast night like a dragon without a trace, without making any sound at all.
At this time, Tiancheng and Nanny Wei, who were watching outside the door, hurried in and closed the door.
Nanny Wei frowned and said:
"Miss, Manager Zhao came to see you a few days ago, and you were in the main hall dealing with the elders of the Gu family.
I then learned about the situation privately. Shopkeeper Zhao said that all the businessmen who had previously cooperated with the third house had withdrawn their investment overnight.
There were many money houses under the name of Mr. Gu Sanye, and common people who had deposited money there would go there every day to block the doors, arguing and demanding to take their money away.
Mr. Gu Sanye couldn't take out a penny, so he asked the shopkeeper to seal the doors and windows every day and not allow the common people to come in.
And those colleagues who had cooperated with Mr. Gu Sanye all broke their contracts and would rather lose money than continue to cooperate with him.
Several competitors across from our shop have closed their shops one after another, and all the old customers who had left have come back.
There is another thing. I heard that Mr. Gu San is planning to mortgage the blacksmith shop to raise some money to revive the bank. "
Song Wanyin raised her hand, and Tiancheng immediately served her a cup of tea, sipping the tea leisurely:
"Madam Wei, tomorrow morning, take the 200,000 taels of silver notes to the bank and deposit them."
Nanny Wei was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped:
"Miss, the bank of the third house is about to close down, so let's send him 200,000 taels of silver now.
Isn't this a timely help? It obviously gave the bank some relief. "
Song Wanyin smiled slightly and said:
“Who said I was going to rescue the bank? The blacksmith shop is a very profitable business right now.
What's more, this blacksmith shop not only makes farm tools and implements for daily use, but is also often asked by dignitaries to make suitable personal swords and sabers.
When a national crisis occurs, they will be called up to build weapons specifically for the army to ensure the supply of weapons to the front lines.
All in all, the profit here alone is huge.
Why should such a huge amount of money be given to outsiders?
Once the third house sold the blacksmith shop, not only would it be able to make the bank profitable, but it would also be able to redeem the blacksmith shop later.
Their losses were only temporary, at most just minor injuries.
Once I deposit these two hundred thousand taels of silver into the bank of the third house, they will definitely return the money to the people in advance.
After the third house pays off its debt, I will go to the bank to withdraw money, which will definitely catch them off guard. By then, I will undoubtedly be the biggest creditor.
By then, the money houses will go from being hot to being a hot potato, like a bottomless pit that can never be filled.”
Nanny Wei suddenly realized that her master wanted the third branch to hand over the bank and the blacksmith shop on their own initiative.
"Miss, you are smart. Now the third house will have no choice but to hand over the two shops under its name."
Song Wanyin had everything planned out, and said with a smile:
“It is more fulfilling to give it up voluntarily than to take it by force.
By then, I will use my connections to get all the dignitaries to come to my bank to deposit money.
The annual interest from loan sharking alone is very considerable.”
Madam Wei quickly calculated the account in her mind and said happily:
"Miss, this way, the renovation of the Taiwei Mansion can be put on the agenda as soon as possible."
Song Wanyin nodded slightly. Once she had more income, she would not only be able to repair the Taiwei Mansion, but also provide a long-term supply of dragon bone blood.
"After these matters are resolved, I will completely cut ties with the Gu family."
At this moment, the silence of the dark night was broken by bursts of sharp cries.
There were noisy footsteps outside the garden, and the lights suddenly came on, illuminating the entire mansion as bright as day.
Tian Cheng immediately went out to get the news. After a while, he came back panting:
“Miss, I heard something happened in Tinglan Garden.
It even alarmed the Madam and the Marquis, and they are all rushing over now."
At the same time, Aunt Gui's anxious voice came from outside the door:
"Ma'am, something bad has happened.
Madam, please make sure you rush to Tinglan Garden."
Seeing that the Gu family never thought of their master when they had good things to do, but never spared their master when they had bad things to do, Wei Ma was displeased and said:
"My master is going to bed. Even if the sky falls, we will have to wait until tomorrow."
Aunt Gui was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.
“Madam, Sister He is crazy.
It is said that the Wu family sent a letter through someone to reject the marriage proposal.
After He Jie Er found out, she started crying and laughing, talking to herself, and even stabbed her personal maid to death with a pair of scissors.
Aunt Wei said angrily:
"Whether she is dead or alive, what does it have to do with my girl?
If a madman hurts my daughter, can your Gu family afford it?"
Song Wanyin had long anticipated that the Wu family would never recognize this marriage, so long before that, she had sent people to warn the Chief Censor.
The Chief Censor wanted to protect himself, and what's more, he really couldn't stand the Gu family's behavior and was unwilling to get married.
When the Chief Censor learned that his good-for-nothing son had done such a shameless thing behind Wu Shaoze's back, he was so angry that he whipped Wu Shaoze severely.
Wu Shaoze was beaten half to death and is still unconscious. He was locked in a small dark room and was under house arrest.
Song Wanyin spoke calmly:
"Crazy? Really or fake?
Anyway, I had a full dinner, so I might as well take a walk. "
Song Wanyin knew very well that thanks to the old lady's teaching and example, all the children in the Gu family had the same moral character.
Especially the women in the Gu family, each one was more pretentious than the other, crying, making a fuss, or even hanging themselves at the slightest provocation.
In her previous life, Gu Qinghe had stabbed her in the back many times, and even used moral blackmail on her to force her to choose her dowry from her own dowry.
Now, the situation has changed and she finally got her comeuppance.
Tinglan Garden was in chaos. The maids and servants did not dare to step forward to stop Gu Qinghe from waving the scissors in his hand.
The lady said with great sorrow:
"He Jie'er, stop making trouble and stop it quickly!
Since the Wu family doesn't want you, the Gu family will support you for life!"
Gu Qingchen's eyes were red, and he clenched his fists in anger:
"Gu Qinghe, the Gu family has never suffered such a great humiliation!
The Wu family doesn't want you, so you're like a used rag that's just thrown away.
Your life is a disgrace.
The Gu family will just pretend that you never existed. You might as well be dead!"
