He has been keeping this secret for the Chen family, and Chen Shou actually has the nerve to blame him. He is really shameless!
Chen Shou looked at Xie Yun coldly, but Xie Yun looked back at him without showing any weakness.
The two of them just looked at each other, neither of them willing to speak up and give in.
After a long while, Chen Shou finally asked, "I can give you some money to help you fill this hole. The question is, what are you going to give in exchange?"
Xie Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face still showed that look of unwillingness to admit defeat: "How did this hole come about? The prince must know very well.
I came here today instead of going to the Ministry of Justice to tell everything that happened back then. The prince should know that I have always been on the side of the Chen family.
Now, why do you have to test me with such words?"
Chen Shou looked at him deeply, and suddenly laughed heartily: "Brother-in-law is indeed a smart man. He always knows what to do."
After saying that, he picked up the box that had been prepared beside him and pushed it directly in front of Xie Yun: "The gold notes in here should be able to make up for the deficit. Take it, brother-in-law."
Xie Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief again, and calmly pressed the box with his hand: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness! If you need me in the future, I will be at your disposal!"
The two exchanged some pleasantries before Chen Shou served the guest tea.
After Xie Yun said goodbye and left, his figure completely disappeared. A woman dressed as a woman came out from the next room, snuggled gently into Chen Shou's arms, and said with some displeasure, "Xie Yun has already been dismissed from office, his reputation is ruined, and yet he dared to be so rude to the prince. The prince is even trying to make up for his losses. He's getting a bargain!"
"Why, are you worried about the gold?" Chen Shou pinched her nose in amusement. "Don't worry, the Luo family is just keeping it temporarily. Once this matter is over, there will be plenty of opportunities to make them spit it out in the future!"
The woman looked at him distressedly: "Of course I believe in your ability, but I can't bear to see you suffer even the slightest injustice. Who the hell is Xie Yun? How dare he treat you like this?"
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Chen Shou was very satisfied with her attitude and laughed happily.
After he finished laughing, he explained, "Don't think that Xie Yun has been dismissed from office. He didn't hold the position of Hanlin scholar for nothing."
The woman smiled coquettishly: "Since he is useful to you, I will not say anything about him."
After saying that, her hand dishonestly lit a fire on Chen Shou's chest.
Chen Shou's face darkened, and he pressed down her restless hand. "I've been feeling unwell lately, and the imperial physician told me not to overwork. Please keep me company and talk. Is your business going well? Is anyone causing you any trouble?"
The woman had no choice but to withdraw her hand in disappointment and complain to him about business matters.
The two of them snuggled together, both of them looked very good. From a distance, those who didn't know them would think they were a perfect couple.
When the three-day deadline was up, Luo Hongwang brought Xie Xiu and Tu Yong to the Xie family again.
When he saw them again, Xie Yun's face still looked very unhappy.
Only this time, Xie You was also present.
"All sit down."
Xie Yun said calmly, taking out the box containing the banknotes, "When the Luo family was in trouble, the entire Luo family mansion was burned down, and the valuables inside could no longer be found.
As for the land and shops that the Luo family had transferred out, they could no longer be recovered this year.
But I found the gold notes that Chen Fang had hidden away, which should be able to make up for the Luo family’s losses.
You guys take inventory, and if you're sure everything is fine, sign this deed, and from now on, we owe each other nothing."
When Luo Hongwang heard this, he immediately snatched the box and started counting the items quickly.
Xie Xiu and Tu Yong didn't move, but Xie You couldn't hold back his temper and couldn't help but look at the gold note in Luo Hongwang's hand.
Luo Hongwang carefully checked each gold note, then took out the small abacus he carried with him and counted them one by one.
In addition to gold notes, there were also silver notes and some house deeds and land deeds in the box.
