Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Gu Beichen was in a state of collapse. "I beg you, Yanyan, I want to live, please, please, just a few hundred taels of silver, just consider it a gift to me! Just consider it alms to me, please." After saying this, he was about to kowtow.

Yuzhu, Yuzhen was so angry that she spat at Gu Beichen fiercely, "Get away from me! Can you call her Yanyan? You should call her the county lady."

Liu Yanyan looked at him but did not stop him. She turned to look at Lord Zhang and said, "Lord Zhang, let's calculate how much money Gu Beichen owes me. Since he can sue me and ask me to pay him back, I can also ask him to pay it back! Isn't that right? There is no law that favors one side. We have already divorced and I didn't want to pursue it. Since he wants to calculate it, let's calculate it clearly so that he won't talk nonsense outside."

Yuzhu whispered, "That's right! The Gu family spent so much money on the young lady, they should pay it back."

When Zhang heard this, he was speechless for a moment. "Well, well, it's OK. You can ask him to pay you back, but he is in a situation where he is unable to pay you back. Why don't you just let him go? Otherwise, I'm afraid he will really die."

Yuzhu wanted to speak again but was stopped by Liu Yanyan.

Liu Yanyan looked at Master Zhang and said calmly, "How could you force someone to death! Master Zhang has asked me to do so, so as not to cause any death." She turned to look at Butler Liu, "Butler Liu, how much money did Gu Beichen's family spend on me? Ask him to write me an IOU. Give him a month to pay back the money. If he doesn't pay it back within one month, bring people to capture him and make him a slave." Once you are made a slave, your life and death are no longer yours.

Yuzhu and Yuzhen were delighted to hear this. Finally, he was getting his retribution.

Gu Beichen struggled and said, "Yan Yan, no, I can't be a slave. I'll write you an IOU and I'll pay you back. I'll definitely pay you back. If I'm a slave, I'm done for. My life is over. Lin Rou is pregnant with my child, and the child is also over. I beg you, I don't want you to pay me back. I don't want it anymore. Please."

Yuzhu stepped forward and slapped Gu Bei hard on the face. "I told you to call me the county lady. How can you be so rude?"

Liu Yanyan curled the corners of her mouth slightly, without even glancing at him, she lowered her head and looked at her round nails, brushing them bit by bit, as if admiring them.

Gu Beichen still didn't give up. "Yan Yan, please give me the indentures of the two concubines that you gave me. I will definitely pay you back. Yan Yan, I beg you, I have nothing else. Just take their indentures." He could definitely make money by letting them work as secret prostitutes. At worst, he could sell them to other brothels.

Yuzhu stepped forward and slapped him again, "I'll teach you the rules."

Gu Beichen was beaten so hard that blood came out of the corner of his mouth, and he stared at Yuzhu viciously.

When Yuzhu saw that he was not convinced, she slapped Gu Beichen in the face again.

Zhang, the head of the hall, coughed twice, and Yuzhu let go of Gu Beichen and stepped aside.

Liu Yanyan said calmly, "What? I have never given you a concubine. You must be crazy. Before we divorced, I had not set foot in the general's mansion for a long time. How could I have the energy to give you a concubine? You must have dreamed about it. Don't be so foolish. I hate you so much that I would never give you a concubine!"

Gu Beichen spat out a tooth and stuttered, "It was your wet nurse who sent it here. You can't deny it! Yanyan, please give me the indenture contract! How could I have mistaken your wet nurse? She even asked Lin Rou to kowtow and offer her tea. Yanyan, please."

Yuzhu wanted to fight again, but Yuzhen stopped her and said, "Master Zhang is watching."

Liu Yanyan looked at Gu Beichen with a wretched face and said with disgust, "How is it possible? I didn't even know there was such a thing. Don't talk nonsense. I didn't give you any concubines. Lin Rou is yours and will naturally help you. I don't recognize what she said. Otherwise, you can find someone else to prove it." Their indenture contracts are not with me, so it's okay to check.

"No one is willing to prove it. They don't want to offend the Duke's Mansion."

Liu Yanyan said calmly, "Then I have no other choice."

Butler Liu searched for a long time in his arms, took out the note, turned around and said to Gu Beichen indifferently, "Gu Beichen, you owe our young lady forty-five thousand four hundred and sixty-nine taels of silver. What can you use to pay it back? I think you should just write the IOU obediently. You will be directly enslaved in a month. Don't struggle. There is nothing wrong with being a slave. Being a slave in the Duke's Mansion is better than living outside." Once you are enslaved, you can do whatever they want.

Master Zhang in the hall wanted to stop him, but Liu Yanyan glanced at him and luckily he shut up. He was just a small official in the Duke's Mansion and couldn't afford to offend them.

Gu Beichen struggled to leave, but was held by the yamen runners and could not get away. "I don't want it, I don't want it, ah!" The yamen runners blocked his mouth.

Butler Liu took the pen and ink, wrote the IOU, then took out a dagger and cut a hole in Gu Beichen's hand. He then pressed his hand directly on the IOU, blew it dry gently, and held it in his arms.

Gu Beichen's face was covered in sweat from the pain. He clenched his hands, breathed in pain, and then recovered.

Liu Yanyan had already left, and even Lord Zhang, who was leaning towards him, had left.

Butler Liu also left the court with Yuzhu and Yuzhen.

The guard who was holding him also let him go, "Go away! The drum at the gate of the yamen is not something that anyone can beat. Go away! You were once a general, but you think you can beat the drum at the gate? You don't know what you are talking about."

"That's right! He's so stupid. No wonder he was demoted to a soldier and couldn't even keep his ancestral home."

"He thought he was a general! He even reported Lord Liu. He was so stupid. He thought the Duke's Mansion was so easy to mess with."

"Go, go, go quickly, don't let your stupidity spread."

"Yes, let's go now."

After the bailiff left, Gu Beichen got up in a daze, looking at the wound on his hand, trembling in a daze, he couldn't believe that he owed so much silver. The thought of becoming a slave made him collapse. How could his mother and Rou'er do this? Where was Hua Liu Yanyan's so much silver? Now it was really over.

"What should I do? Without money, will I really become a slave? No, no, I must catch plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. I must find a way to make money."

"You can't be a slave."

"I have to think of a way."

Gu Beichen covered the wound on his hand and staggered out of the yamen. He ignored the contemptuous looks of the yamen runners next to him and searched aimlessly on the street.

Noon

Liu Yanyan quietly ate the food brought by Liu Wu. When she thought about what happened in the morning, she was so angry. Why was Gu Beichen like a ghost, lingering around? She didn't want to dirty her hands, but now he came here to seek death!

"Liu Wu! Go and find out the whereabouts of Meilan and Zhuju, and tell them to hide and don't let Gu Beichen find them." Gu Beichen is so insidious that no one knows what he will do.

Liu Wu bowed and said, "Okay, Miss. I'll do it right away."
