The sturdy man was intimidated by Lu Zhiran's cold aura and the workers' eager eyes, and for a moment he even forgot to reply.

Zhang was also stunned. She never expected that Lu Zhiran would suddenly appear and be willing to pay off her debt.

"I'll say it again, how much money does she owe you? I'll pay it back for her."

Lu Zhiran's voice sounded again, a little colder than before.

The sturdy man came to his senses. Although he was shocked by Lu Zhiran's aura, he would certainly not be polite since there was a sucker who was trying to pay off someone else's debt.

He gritted his teeth and said to the workers who were staring at him eagerly: "She owes us 1000 taels of gold. Do you have it?"

1000 taels of gold! ?

When Lu Zhiran heard this, he was completely dumbfounded.

She looked at Zhang, and when Zhang saw Lu Zhiran looking at her, she turned her head away guiltily.

Lu Zhiran didn't expect Zhang to be so brave!

Her monthly salary was only one tael of gold, yet she dared to owe one thousand taels of gold.

What a gambler who is risking his life.

This is going to cost this marquisate everything!

Seeing that Lu Zhiran was so shocked by the debt that he was speechless, the strong man who was collecting the debt began to become bolder.

"You don't have this money! If you don't have it, just go away and don't bother us."

He said in an evil tone.

Lu Zhiran took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She knew that she couldn't panic at this time. Once she panicked, things would get worse.

To be honest, Lu Zhiran really has to pay for this money.

At the beginning, Lu's mother really put her heart into making sure Lu Nianyao could marry into the Fu family and live a good life.

The dowry was paid for by gritting one's teeth and scraping together various things.

Five shops, ten pieces of land, two houses, and various jewelry, gold, silver, etc.

There were even silver notes, which added up to a total of 2,800 taels of gold.

It was Lu Nianyao who held the situation.

Unfortunately, in the end it was given to Lu Zhiran for nothing.

Lu Zhiran can come up with the money, but many of the things inside cannot be moved.

The only money available was three hundred taels of gold.

At that time, after Lu Zhiran got these things, he was not idle. He ran outside every day and even lent them out at interest. After working so hard for so long, he only earned 30 taels of gold in the end.

If Lu Zhiran wanted to help Zhang pay off her debts, she had the ability to do so, but that would also mean that all the shops and properties under her control would have to be sold.

Lu Zhiran can be saved.

But...why!

Zhang is not her biological mother. Why should the money she worked hard to earn and the money she got from Lu's mother be used to pay off her gambling debts?

Lu Zhiran is not so magnanimous as to be like this?

Zhang actually knew a little about Lu Zhiran's dowry. She knew that Lu Zhiran could come up with the money, and at this moment she was looking at Lu Zhiran eagerly, hoping that she would pay off her gambling debts.

However, Lu Zhiran looked at these strong men.

But he waved his hands helplessly.

“I don’t have this money!”

Hearing this, Zhang's eyes widened.

Does it show that you can't believe what Lu Zhiran said?

The sturdy man was also stunned by Lu Zhiran's answer and his eyes widened.

"You have no money. Since you have no money, how dare you be so arrogant!"

"I don't have money, so I can't be arrogant?"

Lu Zhiran pointed at the seven workers behind him arrogantly.

Her confidence now does not come from her money, but from the thugs behind her.

The sturdy man's eyes widened.

Apparently, this was the first time that he encountered someone who did not play by the rules.

I was shocked to see these strong men.

Lu Zhiran walked over and helped Zhang up, then turned back to warn the strong men.

"It is only natural for people like you to pay back your debts, but you also have to know that this Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is not a place where you can act recklessly."

Lu Zhiran's voice was calm and firm. She stood there, her posture straight, like a fearless warrior.

The sturdy men were intimidated by Lu Zhiran's aura, and no one dared to speak for a moment.

Of course, it could also be that she was afraid of the seven workers behind her.

Lu Zhiran took this opportunity to continue, "I know you guys are also trying to make a living, it's not easy."

"But, as long as I'm here today, don't even think about doing anything to my mother."

Mother, she is the new daughter-in-law who was married into the Fu family.

Lu Zhiran.

It turned out to be her!

They said that most people would stay away from them if they met people like them, for fear of getting into trouble. No one would come to them on their own initiative.

If it was someone from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, then everything could be explained.

Several strong men who were collecting debts were thinking about it in their hearts.

Lu Zhiran continued to threaten, "If you dare to humiliate my mother in any way again, don't blame me for being rude. These workers behind me are all capable people in the Marquis' Mansion. They are not vegetarians."

Lu Zhiran threatened half-truthfully.

Hearing Lu Zhiran say this, the strong men looked at each other, with a hint of fear in their eyes.

After Lu Zhiran finished speaking, the seven workers behind her also walked in front of Lu Zhiran to block her.

"If you don't believe what our lady says, you can come and try it out to see if we are really capable."

The worker who talked the most flexed his wrists.

He said it half threateningly and half jokingly.

It's so hard to get the chance to perform in front of my boss, I can't miss this opportunity.

After Lu Zhiran's speech, the sturdy men looked at each other.

I knew this trip might end in vain.

They knew that although the woman in front of them looked young, she was not easy to deal with.

Lu Zhiran clearly didn't want to give money, and he wouldn't teach Zhang.

Originally, they were thinking that today, they must make Zhang pay some money? Or at worst, they could go to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. No matter what the emperor backed the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, it was only natural to pay back debts.

Who made Zhang love gambling?

But today, I was really unlucky to meet Lu Zhiran.

"Humph! You guys from the Zhenbei Marquisate are going too far. Fine... I'll let you go for now. Zhang, don't let us catch you next time."

The several strong men who came to collect debts could only leave angrily.

I saw a few strong men coming to collect debts and I couldn't do anything about it.

Zhang also came back to her senses at this moment. She looked at Lu Zhiran with eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

She knew that if it weren't for Lu Zhiran this time, she might have been forced to death by these people.

"Thank you, Lu girl."

Zhang's voice was trembling a little. She held Lu Zhiran's hand, her eyes full of tears.

If Lu Zhiran didn't come, she would really lose her hand, and she would definitely not be able to hide it when she returned home.

Once Mrs. Fu finds out, I don’t know how to deal with her.

These people are extremely vicious and will do anything for money...
