“ Thank you for your concern my Lady, but we have already prepared for that!” Zhuyu Court’s staff snapped a finger while smiling. From around the corner, dozens of large horse carriages appeared and each carriage was accompanied by 3 or 4 guards in battle robes, holding knifes and swords!
“The managers know that the debt amount is large. To prevent any accidents, they have informed the bank and asked them to bring people and transport here and will deposit the money directly into the bank.”
Murong Ruo’s face turned green and her fists clenched tightly under her sleeves. They had already guessed that she would say that and thus had planned such a trap for her to jump into. How hateful!
“Lady Song, can we settle the accounts now?” Zhuyu Court’s staff softly inquired; his eyes shone with undisguised happiness making Murong Ruo burn in fury, and could not wait to tear this face that was triumphant and provocative.
The crowd was watching from the sidelines so Murong Ruo could not kick up a fuss. She held in her anger and said, “Of course. Lan’er, bring some to the treasury to withdraw the money!” Her calm voice revealed a slight gritting of teeth.
“Yes, ma’am!” Maid Lan’er curtsied and said towards the 6 shopkeepers at the bottom of the steps, “Gentlemen, please follow me!”
“Thank you for your effort!” The 6 shopkeepers politely bowed and invited Huitong Bank’s staff and strode into the Wu’an Marquis Mansion.
Looking at the way they thought it was in their right to do, Song Qingyan hatefully stomped her feet. She hurriedly walked towards Murong Ruo and lowered her voice, “Mother, are we really going to settle all the accounts. We don’t have that much money in the Mansion!”
In these recent years, she had often followed Murong Ruo in and out of Zhuyu Court, the silk shop, and had always taken many things each time. It is definitely going to be a huge amount.
