After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy
Chapter 142: I can borrow money, but...
Her family had long been penniless, and all the valuable things in the house had been gambled away by her bastard son. Now, the small house she had bought with half her life savings had been lost by that bastard in gambling!
In order to raise enough money to redeem her son from the gambling house, she borrowed money from everyone who could, and even pawned all her valuables. Only then did she raise enough money of 100 taels of silver to redeem her son from Laicai's gambling house.
I didn’t expect that bastard would dare to continue gambling!
Not only did he gamble away his house, he also gambled away his son and daughter-in-law to the gambling house, and even owed the gambling house one thousand taels of silver!
One thousand taels! For the wives of the rich and powerful, it is just a head ornament and a bracelet, but for ordinary people, it is enough for a lifetime of living, even if they use it sparingly.
Where did she get one thousand taels of silver?
Originally, she thought that she had served the old lady all her life, and even if she had no merit, she had worked hard. She thought she still had some favor with the old lady. She knew that the old lady was short of money, but she still had some personal money. Although she didn't know how much it was, one thousand taels should be more than enough. She borrowed it to save her family's lives, not that she would not return it.
She didn't expect that the old lady would actually watch someone die without helping!
She had no other choice, she really had no other choice. At this time, she saw the eldest lady appearing in Chunhui Hall and thought of what the eldest lady had said.
No matter why the eldest lady said she could help her, no matter what her plan was, she didn't care. As long as she could get 1,200 taels of silver to save her family, or even her life, she would agree!
Nanny Chen knelt on the ground motionless, her old eyes staring straight at Ye Qingyu's bathroom, like a statue without breath.
Wanqiu looked at Nanny Chen's current appearance and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Thinking of how Nanny Chen used to show off her power around the old lady and never took the young lady seriously, not to mention the little maids, whom she would beat and scold at will, both she and Nianchun had been beaten and scolded by Nanny Chen.
They knew that the young lady had a hard time in the Marquis' Mansion, so they never told her about it, and she didn't know either.
Now, seeing Nanny Chen in such a miserable state and being despised by her master, I have to say that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person.
Half an hour later, Ye Qingyu opened the bathroom door, wiped her half-wet hair, and slowly walked out of the bathroom.
When Nanny Chen saw Ye Qingyu appear, she knelt like a stone statue and suddenly crawled towards Ye Qingyu using both hands and feet. "Miss, Miss! Please save this old slave! Miss, you said you would help this old slave!"
In the middle of the night, under the dim candlelight, people always look blurry.
Ye Qingyu didn't expect that something would suddenly crawl to her side quickly, and she was so scared that the cotton towel in her hand fell to the ground.
Mo Shu saw that Ye Qingyu was frightened and quickly grabbed the somewhat crazy Nanny Chen, "You scared the young lady!"
With Mo Shu pulling her, Nanny Chen could no longer move forward. Only then did Ye Qingyu see Nanny Chen's face, which was mixed with tears and blood.
She frowned and walked to the couch and sat down. Wanqiu changed a clean cotton towel and twisted her hair.
"It's Aunt Chen. What's wrong with you? Why are you still kneeling on the ground? Hurry up and get up. It's not too late to talk about anything after you get up."
Nanny Chen shook her head vigorously. "No, that's all I need to say. I beg you, young lady, to save my family's lives!"
"Miss, you told me before that if I have any troubles, I can come to you! I really have no other options. Please help me, Miss!"
Ye Qingyu frowned slightly, "Oh? I said that?" She looked like she didn't remember.
He also deliberately looked at Wanqiu, as if asking himself whether he had said this.
Wanqiu lowered her eyes and carefully wrung out Ye Qingyu's hair. Nanny Chen looked at Wanqiu in panic, afraid that Wanqiu would say something that Ye Qingyu had not said.
"Miss Wanqiu, at that time, this old servant came on the old lady's orders to invite the young lady to Chunhui Hall. You were following her, and you heard what she said!"
Wanqiu spoke slowly, "It seems that's the case."
Ye Qingyu uttered an "oh" as if she was just saying it casually. "Since I said it, I will keep my word. What urgent matter is there that requires you to come to me in the middle of the night?"
Ye Qingyu yawned, looking a little sleepy. "I was supposed to rest after taking a bath. If I hadn't accidentally fallen asleep while bathing, I would have gone to bed by now."
Nanny Chen kowtowed loudly, her face filled with fear. "Yes, thank you, Miss, for your kindness. You are a kind-hearted Bodhisattva. You saved my family's lives. From now on, I and my family will serve you like slaves, in the next life, and the next!"
Ye Qingyu said with some annoyance, "Alright, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't say these useless things. Your indenture is still with the old lady. How can you be my slave?"
Nanny Chen quickly said, "Yes, old slave, I am the one who is nagging. I beg the young lady to lend me one thousand taels of silver to save my family's lives!"
Ye Qingyu raised her eyebrows, and a calm smile appeared at the corner of her lips. "One thousand taels? That's not a small amount. What are you going to do with so much silver?"
Nanny Chen prostrated herself on the ground, sobbing, "Yes, I know this is a huge sum. Yes, my son gambled away and gambled away my grandson and daughter-in-law to the gambling house. He still owes the gambling house one thousand taels of silver. If the money he owes to the gambling house is not paid back tomorrow, they will sell my son, grandson, and daughter-in-law!"
"I really have no other choice but to disturb the young lady's rest so late at night. I beg you, I will definitely return the money. I will give you the indentures of my entire family. If my family cannot pay you back, you can kill my whole family and I will have no complaints!"
Ye Qingyu glanced at her calmly, "Oh? So, your family members are all free now?"
"Yes, the indentures of my son and daughter-in-law were redeemed three years ago, and I also got my own indenture back last year."
Nanny Chen sobbed, "Miss, I know you are the kindest person in the entire Marquisate. Please have pity on me. I only have this one son, and my husband died early. I can't bear to see my son, grandson, and wife being sold off. Without them, I can't live any longer!"
Ye Qingyu looked at Nanny Chen coldly and said, "It's not impossible to lend you one thousand taels of silver."
