Favoring the concubine and ignoring the wife? The mistress is reborn and marries the villain in the

Chapter 92

Xu Yan's words made Shen Ling's eyes turn cold: "Yes, Qingshan and Qingfeng are guarding outside. With their skills, who can sneak in and steal the banknotes silently?"

Hearing this, Xu Yan's tears began to fall.

"Husband, are you doubting Yan'er?"

Shen Ling didn't look at Xu Yan. His voice was a little cold: "Yan'er, I have never thought of doubting you. You love me deeply and gave birth to Shaobai for me. We are going to grow old together. But you also know the current situation of the Marquisate. If we can't return the 200,000 silver coins to the Taifu Mansion, then our Zhenbei Marquisate will be expelled from the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Although he said he had no doubts, everyone could tell that he was certain that Xu Yan had sent Qingshan and Qingfeng to take the banknotes.

Xu Yan swore and vowed that she had never done such a thing.

Shen Ling felt helpless seeing Xu Yan like this.

"Yan'er, since you said it wasn't you, in order not to hurt our relationship, then you should not interfere in my handling of Qingshan and Qingfeng."

Shen Ling left, and before leaving he asked someone to keep Xu Yan and her men under guard.

As long as they are still in the Marquis' Mansion, the banknotes will never disappear.

Yurong wanted to take action, but Xu Yan stopped her: "Yurong, don't mess around."

"Miss, the prince doesn't believe you."

Yurong and Zhuier were both very angry. Xu Yan smiled bitterly: "Yurong, Zhuier, you are also aware of the current situation in the Marquis' Mansion. Something happened in the study room guarded by Qingshan and Qingfeng. You are aware of their skills. How skilled must someone be to take things away quietly from under their noses?"

"Don't say that the prince doesn't believe it. Even I have doubts myself."

Yurong and Zhuier both knelt on the ground: "Miss, Qingshan and Qingfeng will never betray you!"

Xu Yan nodded: "Well, I believe they will not betray, but this matter is really too weird, you should not conflict with the prince's people, just wait and see what happens."

"Yes, ma'am."

Although Yurong and Zhuier were very unwilling to accept it, they finally endured it.

Shen Ling went to find Lord Shen dejectedly. Lord Shen was in Fushou Hall. Old Madam Shen was seriously injured and her head was still dizzy. Lord Shen talked to her for a long time, but she couldn't say a word clearly.

"Ling'er, how is it? Did you find the banknote?"

Lord Shen was a little anxious. Shen Ling shook his head helplessly: "Those two guards would never confess, and Xu Yan also refused to admit it."

Lord Shen stood up suddenly: "What?"

"What should we do now? We don't have any money left in our mansion. We can barely make ends meet. If we can't return the money to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, they will definitely go to the Emperor to file a complaint!"

Lord Shen has never had any special skills in his life, and he has no idea what to do when something happens.

He had looked for Old Madam Shen before, but now that Old Madam Shen was bedridden, he suddenly didn’t know what to do.

Shen Ling also didn't know what to do, and his brows were frowning. "Now we can only hope that the two guards can tell us where the banknotes went, otherwise our mansion will be really helpless."

Lord Shen thought for a moment and said to Shen Ling, "Ling'er, you can't just sit there and wait for death. Go find Gu's family and think of a solution. Now the only family in the Marquis' Mansion that can come up with 200,000 taels of silver is Gu's."

Shen Ling was a little embarrassed when he heard what Lord Shen said: "Dad, Gu is now hoping that our mansion will be in trouble. How can she possibly take out 200,000 taels of silver to help our mansion overcome the difficulties?"

Lord Shen was very confident: "Ling'er, just because Gu Shi didn't ask for a divorce, there is a chance. If our mansion really collapses, then her status as the Crown Prince's wife will also be lowered. Isn't it just 200,000 taels of silver? It's not like she can't come up with it. She can't just watch our mansion suffer this fate."

Shen Ling didn't know how to talk to his father about this issue. He was very tired: "Dad, I will talk to Gu's company, but don't put all your hopes on Gu's company. See if there are other places you can think of a solution."

Lord Shen spread his hands and said, "Ling'er, you know the current situation of the Marquis' Mansion. What else can I do? You are the one who caused this. You have to find a way to solve it yourself."

This means he is simply going to ignore the matter.

What can Shen Ling do?

Shen Ling asked about Madam Li and Madam Liu about Old Madam Shen's situation.

Nanny Li and Nanny Liu looked at each other and said timidly, "The old lady was seriously injured and has never regained consciousness. She can't even speak clearly."

When Shen Ling heard this, he walked out the door with a gloomy face.

He went straight to Begonia Garden.

Gu Nianchu had seen the people from the Taifu Mansion come to cancel the engagement in the morning, and she was still in high spirits. When she heard that Shen Ling was coming, she let Shen Ling in in a good mood, and did not forget to have someone hang up a sign that Shen Ling and dogs were not allowed to enter.

Shen Ling saw the gloomy face and didn't say anything. Seeing that Gu Nianchu didn't even bother to serve him tea, he became even more depressed.

"Mother is injured and bedridden. Should Madam go and take care of her?"

Shen Ling's words made Gu Nianchu burst out laughing: "Prince, are you out of your mind? Can she bear it if I go to take care of her?"

Shen Ling was angry: "You used to take care of your mother when she was sick. How come she can't bear it?"

Gu Nianchu said nonchalantly, "Shen Ling, you also said that, that was in the past, in the past, I was fooled around by your mansion, I wanted to put my sincerity in front of you and let you eat it. Now, I know everything, and you still want me to take care of her, do you want me to send her off?"

Shen Ling said sternly: "Gu, if you hadn't led my mother to Bi Yu Pavilion, my mother wouldn't have been injured! My mother was injured because of you, why don't you go to take care of her?"

Gu Nianchu sneered: "The person living in Biyu Pavilion is the old lady's biological daughter, and the old lady's injury was also caused by the third lady. If the prince really thinks it is my fault, why not go to Jingzhao Prefecture to file a complaint and ask Lord Huang to judge!"

"Even if someone needs to take care of the patient, it should be Shen Jiao who should go. What does it have to do with me? If you are the one saying this nonsense, I advise you to get out of here as soon as possible!"

Gu Nianchu was about to ask the maid to drive Shen Ling out of Haitang Garden. Shen Ling hurriedly said, "Gu, listen to me! It's fine if you don't want to serve the sick, but our mansion is in trouble now. You should take out 200,000 taels of silver and return the betrothal gift from the Taifu Mansion first."

Gu Nianchu looked at Shen Ling as if he were a fool: "Prince, this is just another way to make money. You accepted the betrothal gift from the Taifu Mansion, and when you canceled the engagement, you asked me to pay the money. What kind of a pit is your mansion?"
