The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

Meng Jinyao looked puzzled, her eyes filled with confusion and a bit of interest. She stared at Li Cheng, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, and was in a state of embarrassment for a long time. Finally, she nodded her head and said, "Well, I have nothing else to do today anyway, so I just want to listen." Just talk nonsense and treat it as a way to kill some time."

Hearing this, Li Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At present, except for the eldest girl who has become Mrs. Hou, he really can't find anyone else who can pay off this gambling debt for him.

If he can't get five thousand taels within ten days, he will really be beaten to death.

The madam will definitely not help him, but the eldest girl who knows the situation may not help him. His madam's confidant, the eldest girl has a grudge with the madam, maybe there is something that can use him?

This is his only confidence.

Li Cheng sat in the front seat of the carriage, sitting next to the driver, and followed Meng Jinyao to a teahouse.

After entering the private room, Meng Jinyao sat down and looked at Li Cheng leisurely. Li Cheng looked upright and human-like. At first glance, he couldn't tell that he was a gambler. No wonder she hadn't noticed this problem before.

She asked curiously: "Manager Li, you can just ask my mother for this matter. I really don't understand. How could you bypass my mother and ask me directly to help you?"

Li Cheng knelt down and said, "Miss, only you can help me with this matter."

Meng Jinyao seemed to have heard some joke, she chuckled and said, "This is strange. My good mother and Aunt Qiao have a deep love for each other. Aunt Qiao once almost died trying to save her. As long as you and Aunt Qiao beg, She, how could she not help you?"

Li Cheng replied: "Eldest lady, in order to repay your money, my wife's dowry was pawned. Now that Yongchang's residence is in decline, it is impossible for her to take out so much silver from the residence to repay my debts."

As he spoke, he thought of his new gambling friends. At that time, he always won every time he gambled, and many people envied him for his good luck. Lin Dashan was beside him again, and he was a little in a mood. His gambling addiction was getting stronger, and he wanted to win more money.

As a result, he lost all the money he had won in these days, and then he thought about making a comeback and lost all Zhuangzi's income from the previous quarter. He couldn't hold it back because he was so excited. Now he woke up and realized that it was too late. .

He looked remorseful and continued: "Moreover, the villain made a bad friend by mistake. He instigated the villain to use Zhuangzi's last quarter's income as gambling capital. If the lady knows about it, she will definitely not let him go."

Meng Jinyao felt extremely calm after listening to Li Cheng's words. This was something she had planned, but on the surface she still looked at Li Cheng in shock and said in disbelief: "Manager Li, I didn't expect you to be so bold. , but when you tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will tell my good mother? Although I have grudges with her, it seems pretty good to watch your own people fight."

Hearing this, Li Cheng panicked and hurriedly kowtowed to her several times and begged: "Big girl, please save the little one. The little one will definitely repay your kindness like a cow or a horse."

Meng Jinyao raised her eyebrows and asked quietly: "You and Aunt Qiao are both my mother's confidants, what's the benefit of me helping you? I'll exchange your gambling debt for five thousand taels, and Zhuangzi's income hole will be another thousand taels, a total of Six thousand taels, this is not a small amount of money, what is it about you that is worthy of me spending six thousand taels for you?"

Li Cheng immediately expressed his loyalty: "As long as the eldest lady is useful and needs the villain, I will listen to the eldest lady and send him."

Meng Jinyao looked at him condescendingly, as if gauging his value. After a while, she shook her head boredly, stood up suddenly, and dropped a sentence without saltiness: "Your mother is Sun's confidant, and you mother and son have always been loyal to her." , you are loyal to her, and Sun made you the steward of Zhuangzi, but now you have betrayed me for money, maybe you can betray me for money next time."

As soon as the words fell, Li Cheng's heart went cold, and panic surged into his heart. If today's incident came to his wife, his mother probably wouldn't be able to save him. Perhaps because of the past relationship between master and servant, he moved Zhuangzi's income. He doesn't pursue the case, but he won't pay back the five thousand taels, so he will still die.

He raised three fingers and swore a poisonous oath: "Big girl, I swear that I will be loyal to you from now on without any second thoughts. If I betray you, I will be struck by thunder from the sky."

Meng Jinyao was unmoved: "If swearing to poison was effective, people would probably be struck to death by lightning every day." She turned to look at Qingqiu and Ningdong as she spoke, "It's getting late, let's go have lunch first."

The three masters and servants took steps to leave the private room.

When Li Cheng saw this, he instantly fell into deep despair and regretted it in his heart. He had gone to gambling houses from time to time before, but he had never tried gambling so big. He was so obsessed with it that he couldn't extricate himself for some reason.

Qingqiu suddenly said: "Madam, Manager Li may not be of much use and is not worth your huge sum of six thousand taels, but maybe Aunt Qiao is?"

As soon as these words came out, Meng Jinyao paused and turned to look at Li Cheng, who was still kneeling on the ground. He seemed to be shaken.

Li Cheng seemed to see a glimmer of light in his despair and looked at Meng Jinyao eagerly, hoping that she would change her mind.

Meng Jinyao stared at Li Cheng for a moment, then shook her head slightly and said indifferently: "Mother Qiao is very loyal to the Sun family. She almost died trying to save the Sun family, so how could she betray the Sun family for Manager Li?"

After hearing this, Li Cheng's hope was shattered again.

Qingqiu thoughtfully replied: "Madam, Manager Li is the only child of Aunt Qiao, her biological flesh and blood. Maybe he will turn against you for his own son?"

Li Cheng once again ignited a glimmer of hope.

Meng Jinyao seemed to be considering Qingqiu's words seriously, and asked quietly: "Manager Li, do you have a deep relationship with Mother Qiao as mother and son?"

Li Cheng hurriedly replied: "My mother has always been very good to me and loves me very much."

What he said was true. His mother did love him, but she was also extremely loyal to his wife, but he didn't know if his mother would betray his wife for him and work for the eldest girl.

However, the mother almost risked her life to repay the kindness Madam had shown her back then. How could the master be more important than his biological son?

Meng Jinyao frowned slightly and was deep in thought. After Li Cheng was anxious for a long time, she opened her lips and said: "Manager Li, it suddenly occurred to me that I really have something I need Grandma Qiao to do. If this matter is completed, It's worth six thousand taels of silver."

As she spoke, she paused, glanced at Li Cheng, and then said: "However, you have to wait until you meet Aunt Qiao to decide whether to save her or not. If she agrees to me, then I will pay back five dollars for you." I will help you make up for the thousand taels of gambling debt. If you don't agree, I won't force you. I will pretend that I didn't hear what Manager Li said to me today, and I won't talk to Mr. Sun. Mention it.”

In this short period of time, Li Cheng's mood went up and down. When Meng Jinyao finally relented to help him, he was ecstatic and relieved at the same time. The clothes on his back were wet with cold sweat.

He respectfully replied: "Miss, when will you have time? I will invite my mother over to see you."

Meng Jinyao thought for a while and said quietly: "Tomorrow."
