Only then did Pan Youan realize that he had made a mistake. He was so frightened that he was shaking like chaff and begging for mercy.

Jiao Shun waited for him to shout for mercy several times before asking again: "How many taels of silver have you prepared to redeem yourself?"

Pan You'an originally planned to offer a maximum price of three hundred taels, but now that Jiao Shun was frightened, he took out all the money at the bottom of the box. After a rough calculation, it was about just over four hundred taels.

"I'll give you another six hundred taels."

As Jiao Shun spoke, he took out a few banknotes from his sleeve and threw them directly in front of Pan You'an: "Ask your aunt to give these coins to Grandma Lian'er and ask her to try to settle this old case. From now on, you can

Go ahead and live your life peacefully."

He usually spends more than one or two thousand taels of silver on the hair and jewelry for his maids. He spends several hundred taels of silver to relieve Siqi's worries and comfort Wang Xifeng. For Jiao Shun, it is definitely worth the money.

.

Pan Youan looked at the banknotes scattered in front of him, mustered up his courage and whispered: "Then cousin..."

"Um?!"

Jiao Shun glared with a sullen face, and then he lay back on the ground like a turtle, not daring to say another word.

At this time, Mrs. Yang hurriedly stepped forward to gather the banknotes, and held Pan Youan's head tightly. While confessing to Jiao Shun, she dragged Pan Youan out of the house.

After watching the two of them leave, Jiao Shun got up and entered the bedroom of the east room, where he almost bumped into Siqi.

Si Qi hurriedly stepped back to dodge, turned his back and wiped his eyes, then turned back to Jiao Shun and said: "Thank you sir for not arguing with him, but also..."

"What do I care about with him?"

Jiao Shun saw her eyes were red, and he was a little unhappy at first, but after careful analysis, he found that it was not lingering feelings, but that he was moved by what he had just done, so he turned his anger into joy and stepped forward to take her into his arms.

He said: "It's not him who hugged the beauty back - besides, how could he subjugate you like a little chicken? Even if we became husband and wife, I'm afraid it wouldn't be helpful."

"Bah~"

Siqi was originally moved, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "I just think about those nasty things all day long!"

As he spoke, he broke away.

How could Jiao Shun be willing to let him go? He tightened his restraints and rubbed her like he was traveling across mountains and seas.

In a short time, Siqi's tall and plump body became as soft as dough, leaving only one mouth that was still hard: "Today, today is Hongyu's vigil. Please let me go so that I can take her place."

Jiao Shun chuckled and said, "Why don't you replace me? If you spend these hundreds of taels of silver, why should you still hear something about it? Why don't you call her over? Let's..."

As he spoke, he whispered a few words about what he could and could not write.

"Bah, bah!"

Siqi spat twice when he heard this. She had been here as a dowry for more than half a year and had never teamed up with anyone else to fight on the kang. What's more, Jiao Shun also specifically pointed out that she wanted to do some flower work.

When he was about to struggle hard, he remembered that just now, out of consideration for his own kindness, Jiao Shun not only did not punish Pan You'an, but even took the initiative to pay him to help him escape the crime, and his heart softened for a moment.

After hesitating for a long time, the red-headed man said in a muffled voice: "Can Xiangling replace Hongyu..."

Although Lin Hongyu often fawns over Si Qi recently, she is still not as close to Xiang Ling in Si Qi's heart.

…………

At the same time.

Wang Xifeng had just had dinner with Jia Mu, and came out drunk. She waved away the maid and woman who came to greet her. As she walked, she complained to Yuanyang, saying that because of the construction of the Grand View Garden, the government had to pay for the famine.

The old man encouraged the old lady to renovate the flower hall, so he sold it because he couldn't afford the use.

As he spoke, the conversation suddenly changed: "Since the old lady agreed to this, why don't you ask her to bring some money first? Don't worry, when the dividends from the factory in the south come at the end of the year, I will give you this."

I'll give the old lady some money to make up for it."

Wang Xifeng's words were half true and half false. Although the Rongguo Mansion's finances were originally in embarrassment, they were not yet at the point where they wanted to take advantage of the old lady's private money.

What really led to this predicament was actually the result of her excessive efforts to raise funds for sea trade a while ago - although she only collected less than 20,000 taels from the house, she couldn't resist the people below to imitate her.

Let's make a fortune together.

I heard that they were trying to plot the old lady’s private money. How could Yuanyang be willing to get involved?

At that moment, he shook his head repeatedly: "Grandma is joking, how can I be the master of the old lady?"

"Yo~"

Wang Xifeng waved her handkerchief and said with a smile: "Don't be so modest. Who knows that you keep all the old lady's things? She would rather fall out with the old man than protect you. Just one word from you will stand up to us."

There are hundreds of sentences!”

Yuanyang also covered her mouth and smiled, but she still didn't agree with half of her words: "Grandma's words are really flattering to people who don't know what to do with them. If I really have such a big face, what kind of slave can I be? I've robbed grandma a long time ago.

Errands, caught inside and out!"

"Okay, okay!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng climbed up the pole and said: "Since you have this intention, I will send the second master to you tomorrow so that you can satisfy the second mistress's addiction!"

"Grandma is making fun of people again!"

Yuanyang was about to leave, but Wang Xifeng quickly stopped laughing, stepped forward and hugged Yuanyang's arm and said softly: "Good sister, just think of it as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. At least help me find out what the old lady is saying. If not, I will find another one.

Think of other ways."

Yuanyang was so entangled by her that she had no choice but to reluctantly agree to ask for help, but there was no guarantee that it would be possible.

Wang Xifeng returned home with satisfaction.

When Ping'er understood Jiao Shun's reply, her oval face, which was originally flushed, immediately turned cold: "Does he think I'm a coaxer? There's no end to it, and there's no set date. It'll be three to five years, ten to ten."

It's been the same for eight years. Am I just going to wait and see? Or am I not even as good as someone from a small family?"

Naturally, this small family refers to the You family.

Just as Ping'er was about to say a few words for Jiao Shunfen, someone suddenly reported from outside that Yang, who was guarding the garden, was here.

Wang Xifeng just thought that there was something wrong in the garden. She didn't care about the situation and hurriedly asked people to call Yang in.

When Yang entered the door, he handed over the banknote first, then told the whole story, and finally emphasized: "Most of the money was paid with the help of Uncle Jiao."

Wang Xifeng pressed the banknotes on the Kang table with her hands, crossed her legs and pondered for a long time, and then asked Yang to go back and wait for her good news.

After Yang left, she turned to Ping'er and sneered: "What a good plan. He borrowed my hand to litigate the lawsuit, and later he said that I got the benefit. He really took advantage of everything in the world!"
