Meng Jinyao glanced at Ningdong.

Ningdong nodded knowingly, and immediately took out a banknote from his purse and handed it to Li Cheng.

It was a bank note worth one thousand taels.

Li Cheng was a little confused when he saw that the number was wrong, but he didn't dare to ask anything. He just reminded him with a stern voice: "Girl, this, this is a thousand taels of silver notes."

Meng Jinyao nodded lightly: "That's right, it's one thousand taels."

When Aunt Qiao saw the one thousand taels, she looked at Meng Jinyao in confusion and nervousness. The six thousand taels she had clearly promised suddenly became one thousand taels. Could it be that she wanted to go back on her word and play tricks on their mother and son?

Li Cheng couldn't hold it any longer and asked urgently: "Miss, didn't you say six thousand taels?"

Meng Jinyao said calmly: "Zhuangzi's one thousand taels of income will be handed over to the Sun family along with the account book soon, right? You can use the one thousand taels to fill this hole first."

As she spoke, she paused and looked at Aunt Qiao with a faint smile: "As for the remaining five thousand taels, it depends on Aunt Qiao's sincerity. If Aunt Qiao does things well after she returns, I will see Given the sincerity of Aunt Qiao, I will naturally give you five thousand taels. Don’t worry, Manager Li, there are still eight days left before the deadline given by the gambling house."

Hearing this, Aunt Qiao and Li Cheng did not dare to object. It felt uncomfortable to have this kind of dominance firmly controlled by others. They were panicked, but they did not dare to disobey. If they regretted it later, they would follow the eldest girl's instructions. Because of their temper, the two things they just signed will be sent to the madam, and one can imagine what will happen.

Aunt Qiao was quite sensible. She forced out a smile and replied respectfully: "What the eldest lady said is that we are not in a hurry about the five thousand taels."

Afterwards, Meng Jinyao explained some details to Aunt Qiao, and then allowed the mother and son to leave.

Aunt Qiao and Li Cheng came out of the private room and took a long breath. Who would have thought that the most unfavored girl who dared to look down on even the servants would now be the one holding their fate in their throats?

Aunt Qiao glanced at the closed private door and lowered her voice to warn: "Cheng'er, after this incident, you must never go to a place like a gambling house again. You won't be so lucky next time and someone will help fill the hole." . Now the eldest girl is willing to help, but this kind of scheming with tigers can kill us if we are not careful."

Li Cheng was really scared this time. Even if he was beaten to death, he would not dare to enter the gambling house again. The six thousand taels had made him afraid to show his anger these days.

Aunt Qiao asked again: "Where are your gambling friends? Did they come to see you after we parted yesterday?"

"He diverted half of the thugs and never showed up again." Li Cheng shook his head and his expression turned solemn. "Maybe he would have been beaten half to death. I would have found a place to hide and recuperate. If the eldest girl hadn't saved me yesterday, I would have been very violent." A lot of good luck."

Hearing this, Grandma Qiao felt frightened for a while, her face turned pale, and she said in a deep voice: "Don't associate with such a bad friend in the future. If it weren't for him, how could you have caused such a big disaster?"

Li Cheng hurriedly responded: "Hey, mother, please save your son." He said, with a pleading tone in his tone, "Please help your son first, and then you can help the eldest girl finish the job after you return the five thousand taels to the gambling house." If nothing else, we will leave the capital, and my son will definitely honor you well in the future."

Aunt Qiao glared at her son reproachfully. She didn't need his son to tell her. She also knew that she couldn't stay in the capital anymore and had to leave when the matter was completed. However, the identity of mother and son was in the hands of the madam, and she would need the help of the eldest girl. OK.

Thinking of this, Aunt Qiao didn't dare to mess up the matter. She had to do her best in what the eldest girl asked her to do. If the eldest girl was satisfied, she might give them the grace of mother and son.

Aunt Qiao warned in a low voice: "Cheng'er, remember not to leak any flaws, otherwise we, mother and son, will never survive."

Li Cheng's face showed panic: "Is it possible that the big girl will..."

Aunt Qiao looked solemn and shook her head slightly: "She's not a big girl."

It's ma'am.

Madam can kill Cui'er, and she and Cheng'er can also die. They betrayed Madam, and Madam will never let them go, and will kill them to silence them.

-

In the private room.

Meng Jinyao glanced at the two handles that had been signed by Aunt Qiao and her son, and a sly smile flashed across her eyes.

Our court upholds filial piety. If a child sues his parents, it is considered unfilial. Regardless of whether the situation is true or not, the child will be imprisoned for three years and sentenced to twenty canes. Then she will not sue, but it will make Sun's life worse than death.

Meng Jinyao ordered: "Qingqiu, put your things away."

Qingqiu responded, folded the two pieces of letter paper and put them into the envelope.

Ningdong moved to the window and took a look, and saw that Aunt Qiao and her son had left the teahouse. She had been holding back the words for a long time before she dared to say: "Madam, this move of yours is really good. I have learned another move."

Meng Jinyao smiled: "This kind of thing tests the mentality. Whoever's mentality is not stable enough will lose. Six thousand taels are weighing on their mother and son, and the more I act indifferent, as if they are of no use to me. No, the more anxious they are, the less they dare to be clever, for fear that if something goes wrong, their lives will be in danger. As everyone knows, I am actually more anxious."

Ningdong looked excited: "Madam, what are we going to do next?"

Meng Jinyao replied: "Then it depends on what Aunt Qiao is capable of. Let's just wait and see what happens. Let's go and go shopping on the street and buy some things along the way."

Qingqiu and Ningdong responded.

Summer is hot. Although it is not yet midsummer, it is only midsummer, but the sun is still quite strong.

Not long after leaving the teahouse, a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead. Meng Jinyao raised her head and glanced at the dazzling golden crow above her head. She felt a little wilted and didn't want to continue walking. She no longer wanted to go shopping.

Qingqiu took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on Meng Jinyao's forehead. Seeing what she meant, she suggested: "Madam, it's almost noon, why not find a place to have lunch first? There is a restaurant not far ahead. Let's I’ve been here before and the food tastes pretty good.”

Meng Jinyao nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a break after lunch and then go shopping."

The master and servant had just walked a few steps when a familiar figure came out of the jewelry shop in front.

After taking a closer look, he found that it was Meng Jinyu, and there was a girl in luxurious clothes beside her, who was Princess Jingning.

Qingqiu and Ningdong looked at each other and cursed in their hearts: We are enemies on a narrow road!

When Meng Jinyu saw the eldest sister, she was slightly startled, then went up to her with a smile and said hello: "Sister, what a coincidence, I meet you here."

Meng Jinyao called out with a smile: "Second sister."

After she said that, she saluted Princess Jingning: "I have met Princess Jingning."

Princess Jingning glanced at Meng Jinyao indifferently. After all, she did not make Meng Jinyao embarrassed on the street. Although she didn't like Meng Jinyao, she still had to give Mr. Gu some face. She said calmly: "Mrs. Gu, there is no need to be polite. .”

Meng Jinyu looked at the eldest sister, her eyes flashed, and she invited enthusiastically: "It's almost noon, and eldest sister probably hasn't had lunch yet. Why don't you come with us? The princess and I happen to be going to the restaurant in front. lunch."
