Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 467 The Fishy Truth About the Cake Shop

Qu Mo Ying’s sleep didn’t last long.

After waking up, a little freshening up, Yu Chun tied on a light eye veil for the top, before leading in the person sent by Qu Qiuyan before.

This granny had actually come a long time ago, only to be stopped by Yu Dong and Yu Chun.

“Our young lady thanked the fourth young lady for her gift.” The granny had already gotten a little impatient waiting, but she didn’t dare to put on a face to Qu Mo Ying right now, and could only force out a smile and say.

“No need to be polite.” Qu Mo Ying put down the tea in his hands and said indifferently.

“Fourth Miss, our lady wants to ask you about the pastry store.” The granny hesitated and said the most important thing.

That’s why Third Miss asked her to come over.

“What happened to the pastry store?” Qu Mo Ying raised an eyebrow, unimpressed.

“Our young lady heard that the fourth young lady lost all her store, and wanted to talk to the fourth young lady about this store, since the fourth young lady has lost all her money, why not give it to our third young lady on this, and in the future our third young lady will also remember the fourth young lady’s share of kindness, and if the fourth young lady feels that it’s not enough, our third young lady can pay some silver to dish out the store over.”

The granny explained.

“Third sister …… wants a dilapidated store so much?” Qu Mo Ying sniffed, and after thinking for a moment, asked in a slow voice.

The granny was also prepared, “That store, after all, must be the lady’s heart and soul, even if it’s now given to the fourth miss, our third miss still can’t bear to part with it, and both the lady and the third miss are old-fashioned people, some of the old people from the past have to be resettled, can’t let them really be displaced!”

Hearing her say that, Yu and Qu Qioyan had really become virtuous people!

It’s the hard way out. It’s the soft way in.

“Actually it’s not impossible, it’s just that this store still has some problems right now, so I guess I can’t give it to you ladies.” Qu Mo Ying said.

“Fourth Miss, why is this?” The granny’s face changed slightly, originally thought it was not a big deal, and the third miss was willing to pay the silver, the fourth miss would agree anyway.

“There’s no reason why, I’m just afraid it’s not very good, thank you Third Miss, go back first!” Qu Mo Ying said without thinking.

“Please!” Yu Dong took two steps forward and had invited away.

The granny still wanted to say something, but cowered when she saw Yu Dong’s icy gaze, no longer daring to say more, she could only turn around in anger and go back, reporting to her own young lady.

When the granny left, Yu Chun re-appeared to remove the eye veil for Qu Mo Ying, Qu Mo Ying slightly closed her eyes, and then opened them already to look at Yu Dong, her face was heavy, just now she looked at Yu Dong’s face was a little bit wrong, it must be that before she went to check on the matter of the pastry store’s shopkeeper, there is an aftermath.

“Miss, it’s loan sharking.” Yu Dong said.

After Qu Mo Ying froze for a moment, she looked up at Yu Dong in consternation, Yu Dong took out a booklet from her bosom and handed it to Qu Mo Ying’s face, “Miss, look, this was taken out from underneath the cake store owner’s bed, it’s hidden very well, and there was a space left underneath the bed on purpose , if he didn’t say so himself, I’m afraid that I wouldn’t be able to find it in a while.”

A booklet that is not thick, Qu Mo Ying opened it, it is written with the name of the person, the time, where they live, and how much money they borrowed, and there are also a few IOUs clipped to the note, and each of them has a handprint on it, stating how much interest is paid, and these interest rates are very high, and they are indeed high interest rates.

“How dare Mrs. Yu do such a thing.” Even though Yu Chun hadn’t seen that much, she also sucked in a breath of cool air at this time.

This is something that violates the law, the law of the Great Zhou has long had a clear provision, can not loan sharks, especially the family of officials and eunuchs, if once found out, and may even involve the family, if Yu’s this booklet public, Qu Zhizhen is bound to be implicated.

“Go!” Qu Mo Ying stood up, signaling Yu Chun to bind her eye veil for her.

“Miss, are we going to talk to the Second Master now?” Yu Dong asked.

“Naturally I have to let father know, this matter was originally father’s matter.” Qu Mo Ying said with an unchanged expression, her eyes closed, Ren Yu Chun gently and skillfully tied the eye veil, her cherry lips slightly hooked, “No wonder Yu was unwilling to talk about this matter to second brother, but then talked about it to third sister.”

Qu Mingcheng no longer understand things, but also do not dare to accept such things, whether for his own sake, or for the sake of Qu Zhizhen’s official career, but Qu Qiuyan is different, for the sake of money, she really dare to receive, not only the whole thing, but also will continue to put it down, but also be considered to bear the Yu’s aspirations.

So, instead of leaving it to the son, it’s going to be left to the daughter!

When Qu Mo Ying arrived at the study, Qu Zhi Zhen happened to come back, he looked a little weary, when he heard that Qu Mo Ying had come over to look for him, after freezing for a moment, he nodded his head slightly, and let the boy guide Qu Mo Ying in.

After Qu Mo Ying entered, he bowed to Qu Zhi Zhen before looking to his left and right.

As soon as she looked like she had something to say, Qu Zhizhen waved his hand, the boy retreated, and Yu Dong followed behind the boy.

Retreating to the door, he made a point of closing it slightly for them.

“Father, please look!” Qu Mo Ying didn’t turn back to the topic and took two steps forward, taking out the booklet in his sleeve and placing it in front of Qu Zhi Zhen.

“What is this?” Qu Zhizhen froze for a moment, his eyes glaring at Qu Mo Ying.

“Father will know when he has read it!” Qu Mo Ying didn’t say it outright and just looked at the booklet in front of him.

Qu Zhizhen slowly took over the booklet, looked up, only to turn a page, his face immediately changed, immediately and without pause even turned over several pages, to see the last few pages written above the word, the hand heavily pressed down on the desktop issued a “ping” sound, shocked above the teacups shook two shakes.

“Where did it come from?” Qu Zhizhen asked in a deep voice.

“Father still remembers a pastry store left behind in my mother’s hands?” Qu Mo Ying asked rhetorically.

This is something that Qu Zhizhen really didn’t know before, but that day, Mrs. Tai told him about it once, and after that, Qu Qiuyan mentioned it to him once more, so it’s hard for him to not know about it now.

This store has let the younger daughter to sell, the mother mentioned to himself, after the eldest daughter also came to ask for it, at that time he was on fire, directly scolded her back.

“I know, haven’t you already sold it?” Qu Zhizhen asked with a cold face.

“It is sold, but before the third sister and said to me about the cake store, and said to receive and said other things, look like it must be like, and the second brother also made a special trip to the store, has been looking for the shopkeeper, sold my store people specially come over to ask me, is not there anything remaining, is not this store is not mine, why the second brother still have to hit the door to look for the person’s look.”

“After that, I let Yu Dong to check and ask, I did not expect to be dismissed in the hands of the pastry shopkeeper, actually have such a copy of the thing, the party sent over, I looked at it, or leave it to the father as well, this kind of thing …… I remember that there are provisions in the law … …”

Qu Mo Ying said this and glanced at Qu Zhi Zhen and stopped speaking further.

Some things are actually already very clear, this is a loan sharking pamphlet, the time in this, and it is impossible for others to do it, Qu Mo Ying back to the house in so little time.

“Your third sister and second brother know about this matter?” Qu Zhizhen asked in a hateful voice through clenched teeth.

“Third sister may not know, may also know, but second brother should not know it, otherwise it will not wait until now, right?” Qu Mo Ying gave it a little thought, said it very vaguely, and also would Qu Ming Cheng and Qu Qiu Yan both split up, counting it as very fair.

Qu Zhizhen sank coldly lowered his head and then looked at the booklet in his hands, the more he looked at the heavier the fury in his eyes, this booklet, if it falls into the hands of others, his own official career is considered to be the end of the line, not only the end of the line, and can even cause a bigger thing.

Yu really is a success and a failure!

“You go back first, I’ll handle this!” Qu Zhizhen said in a cold voice.

Qu Mo Ying nodded and didn’t make a stop, at that moment he turned to leave, this matter was originally Qu Zhi Zhen’s matter, this next depends on Qu Zhi Zhen’s meaning.

“Father!” Qu Qiuyan warily looked at Qu Zhizhen, always felt that today’s father’s face was a little too gloomy, subconsciously felt that he had gone to ask Qu Mo Ying about the matter before, and his father knew about it again, and for a while he resented Qu Mo Ying for a few more points, one day, she would make this bitchy girl kneel in front of her.

And that day is not far off.

“Look at what this is.” Qu Zhizhen threw the booklet in his hand in front of Qu Qiuyan.

Qu Qiuyan blankly squatted down and picked it up while looking through it, “Father, what is this?”

“You haven’t seen it?” Qu Zhizhen sneered, his eyes scrutinizing Qu Qiuyan’s demeanor.

“Father, I haven t seen it before, what …… is this?” Qu Qiuyan stood up in bewilderment, the booklet in her hand turning over again.

“Didn’t you go all the way to the pastry store in your sister’s hands?” Qu Zhizhen said in a cold voice.

“This is ……” Qu Qiuyan was shocked, immediately understood, once again flipped up, the more you look at the face the more panicked, she also read it, this is a booklet of loan sharks.

Mother’s a loan shark? Didn’t she say she was saving large sums of money for herself?

Qu Qiuyan’s first reaction was not the consequences that this matter would trigger for the entire Qu Mansion, only thinking about how this would fool her father and could make her father forgive her mother for this move.

“Did you read it?” Qu Zhizhen’s icy voice did not carry a trace of warmth.

“Father …… Father, I …… I can see that, but it’s something we have to ask mother …… Maybe, she… . she also has a reason ……”

Qu Qiuyan dryly explained, “Maybe, mother …… also has her thoughts, and it may be extenuating.”

“Extenuating circumstances?” Qu Zhizhen laughed coldly, “Why do you still want you to bring it to King Jing’s residence, if King Jing finds out, do you think you still have a life?”

“Father …… father, King Jing will not find out.” Qu Qiuyan hurriedly shook her head.

“Won’t find out? What makes you so sure King Jing won’t find out, and when he does? You take the blame, or your mother takes the blame, or let me take the blame?” Qu Zhizhen laughed coldly, his gaze disappointedly looking towards this daughter, originally the one he cared about the most, and the one he had carefully cultivated.

When did it get so stupid!
