Chapter 692 Being Chased for Debt
Nan Xi didn't intend to pay attention to this matter. After all, the king is the one who governs the world. He occasionally listens to interesting things to pass the time in his free time, but he doesn't have that much energy to take care of other people's housework.
There was a dandy in the Ruan family. It was Xiping Bo and his wife who failed to teach their son well. He was originally a noble man without real power. Instead of teaching his son to study and revitalize the family, they allowed him to spend money outside like water. If he didn't fall, who would?
Such people are destined to withdraw from the circle of powerful people, but it is only a matter of time.
"You and Nan Yi can discuss the wedding date yourself in the next two days, or go back and ask Mrs. Chu for instructions." Nan Xi said calmly, "The second thing is that I am concerned about the thatched cottage, but don't be in a hurry, settle your marriage first, and then Then do something else.”
Qing Ling responded: "Yes."
Nan Xi didn't say anything else, because Rong Yu, who was reading the memorial, seemed to have a bad expression. She signaled Qing Ling to step back and turned to look at Rong Yu: "What's wrong?"
"I haven't been to court for a few days. They probably thought I was dead." Rong Yu said in a cold voice, throwing a booklet on the case, "Starting to test my bottom line again."
Nan Xi laughed, picked up the book and looked through it. As expected, she was still determined to persuade His Majesty to accept the imperial husband's memorial.
"These ministers are probably well fed." Nan Xi sighed, "What do I need so many royal husbands for? If they are worried about heirs, now that the prince has been born and the heir apparent has been established, what else do they want to do? ? The peaceful life has been too long, don’t you feel comfortable if you don’t do something?”
Rong Yu didn't speak and was obviously not in a good mood.
"Stay in the Dazheng Palace for the whole winter. After the new year, I will allow you to go to court in the spring." Nan Xi sat over and kissed his face. "It's been too cold these two days. You can't ignore yourself just because of one or two stubborn old men." body."
Rong Yu was so comforted by her that he immediately lost his temper, but his tone was still cold: "From now on, we should set a rule. Anyone who mentions the matter of accepting the emperor's wife will be sent to the border to build the city."
Nan Xi smiled and nodded: "It's feasible."
Rong Yu turned his head to look at her, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up: "Xi'er."
"Huh?" Nan Xi smiled lightly, "Do you think I'm particularly gentle and kind, so good that I feel very happy?"
Rong Yu nodded: "Yes."
"You too." Nan Xi touched his face, "But it's good to be happy, you still have to work, you can't be lazy."
Rong Yu smiled low, took her hand, put it to her lips and kissed her: "I obey Her Majesty the Queen's will."
…
The Ruan family exploded that night.
The people from the Huitong bank came to the door again, and in front of Xi Pingbo's family, they strongly demanded that the Ruan family pay back the money. If they didn't pay back, they would directly sue the Dali Temple and put Ruan Kang in jail.
Tao looked at the two men with cold and hard attitudes in front of her, and thought of what Chu Nanyi said during the day, her heart sank, "Can...can you give me a two-day extension?"
"I've already had grace for many days." Huitong's clerk sneered, "You are planning to delay the payment, right? Do you want to default on the payment?"
Mr. Tao's face looked extremely ugly. Did he refuse to pay?
The Huitong bank account has a strong background, who dares to rely on their account?
Uncle Xiping had a gloomy expression, glared at Ruan Kang, and said in a deep voice: "How much money does the family have?"
Mrs. Tao groaned: "No... not much..."
"How much is not more?"
Mrs. Tao's face turned pale: "Master, that little money is used to buy Ying'er's dowry..."
"Take it out!" Uncle Xiping roared angrily. Today's birthday celebration mood was completely ruined. "Do you want to go to jail yourself, or do you plan to send this traitor to jail?"
Ruan Qingying clenched her hands and stood aside silently, her expression pale.
The family didn't have much money left, so she still had to buy her dowry, otherwise she would be looked down upon by the Ye family if she married in the future. It would be even harder to move forward without a dowry. Why didn't her father consider it for her?
And brother, when you are spending a lot of money outside, have you ever thought that your family is already struggling? Why can't such a grown-up learn to be more sensible? He spends all his time doing nothing and causing chaos in the family.
Ruan Qingying gritted her teeth and secretly resented that she had such a prodigal and incompetent brother, and even more hated that she did not have a capable father. If her father had been promising, she could wear silks, satins, and jewelry like those noble ladies in front of others. The scenery is endless, and there are people who pamper and support you when you come in and out. How can it be like now, when a noble house is actually being chased by people to demand payment?
It was extremely embarrassing.
