Chapter 176: The trouble comes to the door
The blame should be put on Xiao Kang. After hearing what Lao Kang said, she took her people to Zhang's house in a haughty manner. After giving Da Liu a good talk, she successfully sold Lao Kang's small farm to Da Liu.
Although he didn't get the 50,000 taels of silver he had hoped for, he still got enough, because he sold it for a total of 40,000 taels, of which 20,000 taels were given to Old Kang, and he still got 20,000 taels for himself.
This money was like a windfall to Xiaokang, so much so that after she came back yesterday, she was so excited that she didn't fall asleep until late at night.
But what she didn't know was that as soon as she left Zhang's house yesterday, Mrs. Liu also left and went straight to her mother's house to cry to her mother and brother.
When the old lady of the Liu family saw that Mrs. Liu was crying her heart out, she became even more furious after learning what had happened. She scolded Mrs. Liu and the two Kangs from the Chengping Marquis' Mansion.
And the next day, he brought people to the Chengping Marquis' Mansion to reason with the people.
That's 40,000 taels of silver. Why should she give it to the people in the Marquis' Mansion for free? Besides, her eldest grandson Zhang Jueping was injured in Old Kang's farm. Why should Old Kang compensate them?
A crowd of people gathered at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, pointing and talking. Although they were refused entry, they all started talking at once.
The people from the Earl of Yongkang's Mansion rushed into the Marquis of Chengping's Mansion in a large number. They were shouting all the way and looked very ferocious.
"Come out! Liu and Xiaokang, come out quickly!"
"After doing something evil, do you think you can get away with it by hiding? Don't even think about it!"
"Shameless bastard! Black-hearted old fellow!"
When the servants in the marquis' mansion saw this situation, they all moved away and no one rushed forward.
Although the people from Qinglin Village were not afraid of these people, they were not going after Madam Jiang and Miss Jiang, so they all watched from the sidelines with the intention of watching the fun.
Liu and the two Kang families all received the news.
The two Kangs sneered at the same time. Don't think they don't know why the Liu family came to their house. Isn't it just to take the money back? They will not agree to it.
However, Mrs. Liu was very nervous. She had a fight with Mrs. Liu the day before, and their relationship had reached a freezing point. She thought about waiting for a while and then looking for Mrs. Liu the elder to see if the relationship could be eased.
After all, Old Madam Liu liked Mrs. Liu very much, and she was counting on the support of the Earl of Yongkang's Mansion, so she naturally couldn't make the relationship too awkward.
But who would have known that people from the Earl of Yongkang's Mansion would come to the door today. Could it be that Mrs. Liu said something when she returned to her parents' home yesterday?
Liu was lost in thought, but she eventually calmed down because what happened in the small farm yesterday had nothing to do with her after all. Who knew that Zhang Jueping would sacrifice herself to please King Rui?
That's right! After Liu came back yesterday, she thought about it and felt that Zhang Jueping took the initiative.
After all, men and women are different. She has never heard of a man finding a man to play tricks on himself after taking drugs.
So Zhang Jueping probably sacrificed himself voluntarily. Liu had heard the rumors about him before, but she didn't expect that Zhang Jueping was so willing to do so in order to find a way out for himself.
But this would make it hard for her daughter Yunrou, but fortunately, the person who sent Su Yunrou back yesterday was the King of Qi, and Liu couldn't help but look forward to it again.
As for the Zhou family, which was wiped out, they deserved it. They actually dared to have dirty thoughts about Yun Rou. They don't deserve to die.
"Come out quickly, or we'll smash things." Someone shouted angrily in the Earl of Yongkang's mansion.
Liu walked quickly and soon saw the aggressive Old Madam Liu and her elder brother Liu Funing.
Mrs. Liu stood beside Old Madam Liu. Although the scars on her face were still there and she looked miserable, it did not stop her from glaring at Mrs. Liu.
"Mother, brother, sister, why are you here?" Liu asked with a little surprise.
In fact, her current situation is similar to that of Mrs. Liu. She also has scars on her face and bruises on her eyes. Her hair has been combed again, but some places look very thin, which is covered by hair pulled from other places.
"How dare you ask? Look at the good things you have done. You actually encouraged your younger brothers and sisters to ask your elder sister for money. Do you have any shame? Where are the banknotes? Bring them here quickly."
Liu Funing said bluntly.
Mrs. Liu was completely confused. When did she ask Mrs. Xiaokang or Mrs. Jiang to ask Mrs. Liu for money? After she came back yesterday, she was busy seeing a doctor and applying medicine.
"Brother, where do you come from?" Liu said.
"You still don't admit it. Wasn't it you who asked Xiao Kang to come to me yesterday and force me to sell Xiaopo Manor at a high price? Why? It's only been a day. Do you think you can just pretend you didn't know and let it go? I'm telling you, it's impossible. You have to return the money quickly. A full 40,000 taels. Not a penny less."
Mrs. Liu was so angry that she almost poked Mrs. Liu's face with her fingers.
When Liu heard this, she was completely shocked!
And this thing?
How much money did Old Kang's small farm get from selling it? A full 40,000 taels, but none of that went into her pocket, so why should she be asked to pay it back?
"I really have no idea about this. We are sisters. How could I do such a thing?" Liu said anxiously.
"Stop quibbling! The land deed of the village is still in my hands. Call Xiaokang out and let's confront each other." Mrs. Liu shouted.
Xiao Kang came over at this time, and with her came Lao Kang, both of them came from Rong'an Hall.
"What are you confronting me about? The purchase and sale of the manor was a matter of mutual consent yesterday. Why are you here today to make trouble? Are you going to regret it? That won't do. The manor has been tainted by your son. If you don't buy it, I will beat drums and gongs and have everyone in the capital go and see the dirty deeds your son has done."
Xiaokang had the upper hand yesterday, and it is even more impossible for her to let Da Liu go today, especially since this group of people came for her money. What's the difference between them and her enemies?
Mrs. Liu was so angry that her eyes were filled with tears. Mrs. Kang was such a shameless person, she wanted to force her son to die!
"You are Xiaokang, and you really have a treacherous face. Return my sister's money quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude." Liu Funing said with a serious face.
"Humph! Where do you think this is? This is the Marquis' Mansion. If you dare to mess around, I will have you all kicked out."
Old Kang's face turned even worse. So what if she sold her farm for 40,000 taels? There was also money from the Zhang family to compensate her.
When Su Qingwan and Jiang arrived, the two sides were engaged in a verbal battle.
Aunt Rong was very excited.
Oh my! My god, the quarrels among these dignitaries are similar to those in Mo Nan, but I don’t know if they can fight.
"Madam Kang, you are an old and disrespectful person. I have long known that you are not a good person. Now you have finally revealed your true colors, right?"
Liu Funing had always felt that Old Kang was trying to find ways to prevent Liu from getting close to their Earl's Mansion, and now she had finally achieved this goal.
