It is not up to Jiang Yu to choose whether to give or not, because Jiang Lai has a good habit of directly handing over problems to others to solve when he encounters problems that are difficult to solve.

"Before we go down the mountain, if you have money or not, write me an IOU as soon as possible, otherwise our note will soon appear in the hands of someone you don't want him to know about."

Jiang Lai was just threatening and didn't care what others thought.

The Ninth Princess was okay, she had to share more than 30% of the gold, and she could come up with more than 300 taels of gold by herself, but Xu Ruling and Jiang Yu were completely dumbfounded and panicked.

Especially Jiang Yu.

She originally planned to use the money she won from Jiang to make up for the money she borrowed from Xu Ruling, but now it's good that the hole on one side has not been filled in, and a bigger hole has been dug on this side.

As a sister, Jiang Lai had no affection for her at all. After the villain gained power, he became more and more arrogant and hateful.

The Ninth Princess was okay. As a princess, she usually got a lot of rewards and could take them out. But no one wanted to lose so much money for no reason. They originally wanted to use Jiang Yu's hand to destroy Jiang Lai.

His prestige is good now. Not only did he enhance the prestige of others, he also lost so much money.

Because of this incident, she couldn't deal with Jiang Lai, and she also felt a little displeased with Jiang Yu. She just felt that she had to do something like that in the end and now she has lost face and identity.

The IOUs were written and fingerprinted. Each person owed three hundred and thirty-three taels of gold.

Without waiting for His Majesty to come down, the Ninth Princess rode away on her own, her whip crackling.

Xu Ruling stared at Jiang Yu with panic. She regretted lending the money to Jiang Yu. How could Jiang Yu have the money to pay her back in this situation?

Thinking of what the old lady said, Xu Ruling followed Jiang Yu and asked in a panic.

"With such a big palace, there should be some money left for emergencies, right?"

"Sister Yu, I have had the best relationship with you since we first arrived in the capital. You asked me to borrow money and I borrowed it without saying a word. Now you know my situation well. If I don't pay back the money, I will be kicked out."

The capital was so nice that she didn't want to leave.

Even if she wants to leave, she can't make the old lady unhappy. After all, her future and destiny are still in the hands of the old lady.

"Sister Yu, please tell me. It's because of you that I got into debt. I can't be the one to repay the money."

Xu Ruling kept mumbling, which made Jiang Yu, who was already anxious and collapsed inside, completely explode. She raised her head and stared at Xu Ruling with red eyes, her voice was hoarse and suppressed.

"I will definitely pay you back what I owe you. Instead of talking about it in my ears now, why don't you think about what you asked me for when you came here? What? A good marriage is not as good as these thousands of taels of silver?"

Xu Ruling became even more anxious when she heard about the marriage.

"Then how can you help me if you are like this now..."

"What happened to me? Am I lame or stupid? I am still Jiang Yu, and I have made friends with countless young masters from aristocratic families. I am sure that I will get a good marriage for you."

When Xu Ruling heard this, she was dubious but helpless.

"Well, the marriage can be put aside for the time being. You should seize the time to collect the money. Jiang Lai doesn't have me to fool him."

Xu Ruling wasn't stupid either. Given Jiang Yu's current state, would those young masters from aristocratic families still want to be friends with her? It would be better if they avoided her.

But now there is no way to push her too hard. She can only follow Jiang Yu closely. If she still wants to save face, she can only find a way to raise money.

A skinny camel was bigger than a horse, so she didn't believe that the Hou Mansion couldn't even come up with this little money.

A spring hunting trip to the river was a fruitful return, with three IOUs in my arms and a lot of rewards.

The most precious one is a jade plaque gifted by the emperor. The jadeite carving is covered with exquisite plum blossoms.

Jiang Lai gave the jade plaque to Tie Yi.

"I don't have anything good to give you. If you just pretend to be this, it's like a token of engagement from me."

Tie Yi took the jade plaque and touched it again and again, then looked at Jiang Lai seriously and asked her.

"Do you still blame me for what happened before?"

What happened before?

Jiang Lai thought about it and figured it was the incident where he went to the military camp the night he just got married.

"Why do you blame me? You didn't know me and didn't like me at first. If you came to the wedding, I would look down upon you."

Jiang Lai's free and easy manner made Tie Yi feel ashamed.

"When we get back, I'll give you a grand ceremony."

"Need not."

Jiang Lai refused without hesitation.

She didn't care about these bells and whistles, and she didn't need Tie Yi to do this to express his true love for her. Jiang Lai could feel it without those things whether he really liked her.

In this case, it's better not to worry about it. It's so tiring to get married once, and Jiang Lai doesn't want to suffer it again.

"You don't have to look at me like that. I'm not saying angry words. It's really not necessary. You and I can live a good life in the future. If you really feel sorry for yourself, just do me a favor."

Upon hearing this, Tie Yi nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, whatever you say, I promise you."

"If I asked you to give me the Tiger Talisman to play with, would you agree?"

Tie Yi hesitated for a moment.

"I don't have the Tiger Talisman here, and there's nothing interesting to do. But if you're curious and want to play, I'll take you to the military camp tonight."

He really agreed without hesitation.

Jiang Lai smiled happily and reached out to pat his forehead.

"Are you stupid? You can't tell when I'm joking with you? I want you to help me find the Minister of Dali Temple."

"Are you still worried about the Hou Mansion?"

I thought Jiang Lai had already given up on that place.

Jiang Lai nodded.

"Of course, of course I can't worry. The Marquis Mansion is still standing there. I feel sick when I think about it."

"What do you want?"

"You will know when the time comes, just do as I say."

Jiang Lai didn't need to think twice to know that Mrs. Zhao and Jiang Yu were definitely waiting to take revenge on her.

She never likes to sit still and wait for death, and is very good at taking the initiative.

So the next day, while the Hou Mansion was still sleeping, it was surrounded by people from the government. The Shaoqing of Dali Temple personally led troops and took away the Marquis, Mrs. Hou, Jiang Yu and others.

Mrs. Zhao was missed. She cried and ran after her to demand an explanation, but was pushed to the ground by the officers and soldiers.

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple looked at her embarrassed look and said coldly.

"This is a serious matter, so outsiders should not come near, lest they get burned."

Mrs. Zhao didn't know what happened. The other concubines were not taken away safe and sound, and they huddled together to discuss tremblingly.

"I just heard that something happened to Mrs. Hou's natal family, so we survived."

"No wonder they only took away their whole family. Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and pack up your things and run away. The Hou Mansion is completely hopeless."
