Chapter 196 I'm Not Here to Collect Debts

It has been three days since the last time I angered the prince of Zhaoguogong away, and there is no movement on the cancellation of the engagement. Lingchu was thinking about whether to ask Lord Ning to see if he had found out any information.

Hongxiu floated in through the wall.

Lingchu glanced at her and warned, "Stay away. Since you are a puppet, you must be aware of being a puppet. Don't let your evil spirit touch the living."

Hongxiu was angry, but she was afraid of Lingchu's whip and didn't dare to float over again. She could only lean against the wall in frustration.

She couldn't beat him, and she had to rely on Lingchu to help her get revenge. Hongxiu didn't dare to get angry at all.

Ling Chu was quite satisfied to see that she behaved well. "Tell me, what are you doing here? Did you find anything?"

"Miss Ling, Nanny Wang went home on leave today. Her son Feng Laishun lost again and owed a large sum of money to the gambling house. Feng Laishun is discussing with Nanny Wang about leaving the capital to avoid debt."

Hongxiu was worried that if Feng Laishun left the capital, she would not know when she could take revenge.

"How much money did Feng Laishun owe?"

"Before I died, he owed more than 6,000 taels. Nanny Wang managed the warehouse in the Zhaoguogong Mansion. She stole some small items and sold them outside the mansion to help Feng Laishun pay off more than half of his debt.

But Feng Laishun did not stop. He took the money given by his mother and wanted to turn the tables. But he lost more and more gambling. After I died, he owed more than 8,000 taels."

"Which gambling house did he owe the debt to? Is it Changlefang?"

"Yes."

Ling Chu guessed that it seemed that Nanny Wang had no money to help her son pay off the debt, so Feng Laishun wanted to leave the capital to avoid debt.

But how could Hu Batian let Feng Laishun leave the capital when he owed Changlefang such a large sum of money?

This is an opportunity.

Nanny Wang must be in urgent need of money now, and she might be able to use this opportunity to dig out some secrets from her.

Although Ning Chuyi has promised to help her investigate the prince of Zhaoguogong, she can't always ask him for help.

Don't bother others with things that you can solve yourself.

Seeing Hongxiu's anxious expression, Ling Chu put down the teacup and stood up, "You go back and keep an eye on Nanny Wang and her son, I'll be there later."

Hongxiu was overjoyed, responded, and immediately floated through the wall.

It seems that being a puppet also has its advantages. You can float directly to where you want to go, and the speed is fast.

Ling Chu didn't delay and left the house with two maids.

Nanny Wang's husband and son didn't work in Zhaoguogong's mansion, so they didn't live in Zhaoguogong's mansion, but rented a house outside.

Although Nanny Wang was on duty at the Zhaoguogong Mansion on weekdays, she would return to her own home when she had a break.

Most of the people living in Qinghe Lane were servants of some wealthy families nearby.

Nanny Wang lived in one area.

I don’t know if Hu Batian went to Feng Laishun to collect the debt. If not, Ling Chu wouldn’t mind having someone send him a letter.

What Ling Chu didn’t expect was that she saw Hu Batian as soon as she entered Nanny Wang’s house.

And when Hu Batian saw her, he immediately started to feel a headache.

“Miss Ling, you are not here to collect the debt as well, are you?” What kind of luck is this, how could he run into this ancestor again.

Could it be that she took all the silver this time, and he could only return empty-handed?

Ling Chu glanced at Hu Batian’s bitter face, smiled and shook her head, “Don’t worry, I’m not here to collect the debt.”

Although she didn’t like this bully, she was still very happy to see him at Nanny Wang’s house this time.

Hu Batian was relieved to hear that she was not here to collect the debt.

Nanny Wang had a dark face, "Miss Ling, did you go to the wrong place?"

"Yes, I read your fortune today, and there seems to be something wrong with your family, so I came to take a look."

Nanny Wang was worried about her son's affairs, and she was even more angry after hearing this, "There is nothing wrong with my family. I have something else to do here, so I don't have time to entertain you. Miss Ling, please go back."

Ling Chu seemed to not understand her words to drive people away, and said in a familiar manner, "It doesn't matter, don't pay attention to me. Nanny, just do your thing, I'll just watch from the side, and I will definitely not disturb you."

Nanny Wang was furious, and Hu Batian was already impatient, "Stop dithering, hurry up and take out the silver, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

Feng Laishun nodded and flattered, "Master Hu, my family really has no silver, please be tolerant for a few days, and I will definitely return it to you when I raise the silver."

"It's the same rhetoric again, my ears are calloused. Feng Laishun, I have given you half a year, no matter what, you have to get the silver today."

Don't think he doesn't know, Feng Laishun is going to sneak out of the capital today and wants to shirk his debt.

"Master Hu, please be kind and give me some more tolerance. Don't worry, my mother will not ignore me, she will definitely find a way to help me raise the silver."

Feng Laishun was very upset, he didn't expect Hu Batian to come to his door so soon. If it weren't for his mother's dithering and unwillingness to give him the silver, he would have left the capital early today.

Hu Batian had already found out the identity of Nanny Wang and knew that she was a servant of the Duke of Zhao's mansion.

"Wang, if you want a son, take out the silver quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Nanny Wang no longer cared about Ling Chu at this moment, and said with a smile, "Sir Hu, please be tolerant for a few more days, my family really doesn't have that much silver.

Although Lai Shun of my family owed more than 6,000 taels, he had already paid back half of it, and still owed more than 3,000 taels. Sir, please be tolerant for a few more days, and I will definitely pay you back when I raise the silver."

Aunt Wang had an apologetic smile on her face, and she had already begun to wonder in her mind what other inconspicuous little things could be stolen out of the warehouse of Zhao Guogong's house and exchanged for money.

Unexpectedly, Feng Laishun's expression changed when he heard her mention more than three thousand taels.

Hu Batian glanced at Grandma Wang coldly, "Feng Laishun owes not just more than three thousand taels, but 10,780 taels."

As soon as she said these words, Grandma Wang's eyes immediately went dark.

Soon he screamed again, "What, more than ten thousand taels? This... this is impossible!"

Hu Batian sneered and took a stack of IOUs from the follower behind him. "It's clearly written in black and white. I didn't lie to you."

When Grandma Wang saw the pile of IOUs, she felt like the sky was falling.

Furious, he rushed towards Feng Laishun, raising his hands and crying at the same time, "You prodigal son, didn't you say you stopped gambling? Why do you owe so much money again? Are you crazy? How can you pay back so much money..." "

Feng Laishun became angry after being hit by her several times. He pushed her impatiently and said, "Mom, it's only ten thousand taels. The Duke of Zhao's house is so rich. If you slip through your fingers, you'll find more than this amount of money. You can get more money from the warehouse. If you take out a few more things and exchange them for silver, you can pay off the money."
