Daughter of the prosperous age: Don't pretend to be stupid

Chapter 295

After carefully locking the box containing the gold ingots into the cabinet, the eldest lady went to bed happily, forgetting even the fact that Mo Jingtao did not come to her room for the night.

This night, Da Furen slept extremely soundly.Even, in her dream, she dreamed that Mo Wushuang was out of breath after receiving the emperor's imperial decree, and threw him over to hug her thigh and begged her to save her.

After waking up from her dream with a smile, the eldest lady immediately washed and dressed, and then waited quietly for the imperial edict to arrive, but it was almost noon, and the imperial edict still hadn't arrived, and the eldest lady couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Just at this moment, the shopkeeper of the silk and satin village sent another servant to ask the lady to come over.The lady knew that the silk and satin shop had bought a batch of high-quality silk at a high price in the past few days, so it must be paid, and the money on the account was not enough.

The eldest lady thought for a moment, and immediately left a message to the people in the mansion, and then took Madam Li and Jin Zi to the silk and satin shop.Sure enough, the treasurer of the silk and satin shop was waiting with a silk merchant who delivered the goods to them.Seeing the eldest lady coming, the two hurriedly stood up and saluted.

The Da Furen nodded proudly, sat on the side, and then motioned for Nanny Li to take out the gold.The moment he saw the gold, the businessman couldn't hide the joy on his face, and bowed to the lady again and again: "Madam, please forgive Li, it is really a last resort for Li to come to the door to ask for debts. My shop recently owed money on credit..."

"Okay, you can click." The eldest lady said impatiently.

"Please go to the bank with the younger one to exchange the gold into silver bills. The younger one really dare not take so much gold on the road." Li requested.

"Go." The lady waved her hand, and the shopkeeper went to the bank not far away with Mother Li and the businessman.

The people from Silk and Satin Village had just poured a cup of tea for the eldest lady, but there was a commotion at the bank not far away, and then a large group of people came towards the eldest lady.

"Ma'am, it's not good." Nanny Li slipped in ahead of everyone else, looking at the eldest lady with a pale face.

The eldest lady glanced at the people outside, and scolded: "What the hell, what's wrong?"

"The gold is fake!" Nanny Li said tremblingly.

The eldest lady blinked: "What did you say?"

Nanny Li glanced at Xiao Er and others who had already arrived at the door, and pulled the eldest lady into the inner room, "Madam, the gold that the eldest lady gave you is fake!"

Fake?The gold her daughter gave her was fake?

How can it be!

"Impossible." The eldest lady shook her head resolutely.There is no need for her daughter to lie to her and make her lose such a person.

"Ma'am, ma'am!" The shopkeeper of the silk and satin village called out from the outer room.Immediately afterwards was the dissatisfied voice of the businessman surnamed Li: "Madam, you don't have the money to tell Li, why bother to tease Li with fake gold?"

"Isn't this the shop of Duke Jing's mansion? How could you use fake gold to tease people?"

"I'm afraid it's not a joke, but a lack of money?"

"Impossible, Duke Jing's property is so big, how could it be short of these few dollars?"

One after another, the voices of discussion pierced the Da Furen's ears and heart one by one.The eldest lady took two steps on the spot, clenched her hands, trying to calm herself down, but her hands trembled uncontrollably.

The gold must be fake, otherwise these ordinary people would not have the guts to so blatantly trouble Duke Jing's mansion.

However, since she has lived since she was a child, how has she ever experienced such a shameful thing?
