In the Jinling Mansion and the Governor's Mansion, there were several people each carrying a plaque, wrapped in red silk and satin, and they didn't know what was written inside.
The eldest lady didn't want to talk to him, so she glanced at him, pointed at him with a slender finger, and then pointed at the plaque on the Jinling Mansion Office, meaning you go and uncover this piece.
This girl can also sign language. Lin Wanrong chuckled and thought you were the only one who knew it. I am an expert. He followed her example and pointed at the eldest lady, and then pointed at the piece on the Governor's Mansion, meaning, "Go and lift that piece."
Seeing that he was imitating her own words, Xiao Yuruo couldn't help but blush, and stamped her feet in embarrassment and annoyance: "This idiot is so annoying."
"Miss Tao, do you think I'm going to expose you?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile.
Tao Wanying nodded lightly and said: "This is given to you, of course you have to reveal it."
Amid laughter, Lin Wanrong and the eldest lady opened the red silk at the same time, and the eight gilded characters on the two plaques came into view: "Loyalty, integrity, wisdom and courage."
Hey, who praised me like this? How embarrassing is this? Lin Wanrong laughed. Tao Wanying said to Xiao Yuruo: "Sister Yuruo, I have reported the Xiao family's struggle against thieves yesterday to Mr. Hou. Mr. Hou was very happy and reported it to the Governor. The two adults have asked the Xiao family to maintain peace in Jinling City. We are all very appreciative of the great efforts we have made, and we jointly give this plaque to express our appreciation to the Xiao family."
Loyalty and integrity? Hehe, these four words must have been thought up by this girl, she is still thinking about that. This plaque is completely nonsense. It is probably because Lao Luo knew what happened last night and just thought of a way to clear the Xiao family's name. It's hard for this old man to be so intentional. It's not in vain for me to give him some advice. Lin Wanrong nodded and smiled at Wanying: "Ms. Tao is interested. I will thank you on behalf of my eldest lady."
The master from Luo Mansion continued: "As Miss Tao said, Mr. Luo deeply appreciates the Xiao family's courage and courageous actions to resist the thieves. Not only that. That day at the old lady's birthday banquet, the Xiao family defeated The King of Couplets of the Seven Northern Provinces has brought glory to me, an official in the south of the Yangtze River, and I appreciate it very much. I specially inscribe this plaque today to express my gratitude."
Luo Yuan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "That's right. Miss, Brother Lin, and I would like to congratulate you two first!"
The eldest lady returned the greeting: "Thank you, Mr. Luo, Miss Xie Wanying. You two adults have shown so much love to my Xiao family. Yu Ruo is deeply grateful." A servant had already given him a red envelope. The eldest lady personally rewarded the two houses with plaques for the underground people.
Lin Wanrong saw the kid Luo Yuan's playful smile and thought to himself, your father did a good job. He blocked Cheng Ruinian's mouth and made him suffer the loss of silence. But your sister is planning to get married, and she didn't even notify me, which made me look so ugly yesterday.
The governor of Jinling and the governor of Jiangsu have already concluded that yesterday's incident was a heroic self-defense against the thieves. Cheng Ruinian was even more embarrassed. He felt that it was a big mistake to come here today, but now everyone was watching. He didn't know how to speak, so he could only stand there with a gloomy look on his face and said nothing.
Luo Yuan pretended to have just seen Cheng Ruinian and said in surprise: "Hey, isn't this Brother Ruinian? Why are you here? Are you here to congratulate me too?"
Lin Wanrong chuckled and said: "Master Cheng is here to rebel——"
"I came to visit, I came to visit." Cheng Ruinian broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and hurriedly grabbed Lin Wanrong's topic.
"Oh, come to visit? Since when did Brother Ruinian have friendship with the Xiao family? This is the first time I have heard of it, little brother." Luo Yuan said with a smile.
"Originally, there was no such thing. But after I came here today, we have established a friendship. Don't you think so, Mr. Cheng?" Lin Wanrong asked with a mysterious smile.
Under such circumstances, what could Cheng Ruinian say? He nodded repeatedly. Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Mr. Cheng and I are old friends. We drank wine together at Miaoyufang. There is nothing important for him to come today. He is just short of money recently and wants to get some money to spend, right? Cheng Young Master?"
"Exactly, exactly." Cheng Ruinian nodded and said: "I have been short of money recently, so I wanted to come and borrow some money from Brother Lin. Now that I have the money, I will not keep it for a long time, so I will say goodbye."
Lin Wanrong laughed loudly and said: "Brother Cheng, why are you so polite? We have a friendship over drinking wine together, so there is no need to be so polite. Besides, if you get the 50,000 taels of silver, I will just act as a guarantee." Man, if you borrowed it from the eldest lady, you should thank the eldest lady."
Fifty thousand taels of silver? Everyone present secretly gasped. This is such a huge amount. Why did Mr. Cheng come here to borrow so much money? Besides, will Miss Xiao be willing to borrow it? Smart people have already seen that there is something interesting in this.
Hearing that Lin Wanrong blackmailed him 50,000 taels, Cheng Ruinian was shocked and said angrily: "You're nonsense-"
"What am I talking about?" Lin Wanrong asked secretly, "Isn't Mr. Cheng here for a visit?" He deliberately made the words "visit--" and "rebellion" unclear. Others didn't think anything about it, but Cheng Ruinian heard it. I'm shocked every step of the way. This kid is trying to kill me. The so-called witness is still here. Everyone saw him coming to take the person in a fierce manner just now. There is also Luo Yuan, a sworn enemy. If he is exposed, then It's really a big mistake.
Cheng Ruinian's eyes seemed to be bursting with fire. He lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Lin San, are you blackmailing?"
"Blackmail?" Lin Wanrong smiled strangely: "Where do you start talking about this? I don't dare to force Master Cheng. You came here specifically for 'rebellion' today, hehe."
Cheng Ruinian wanted to pounce on the villain and bite him to death. He held back the anger in his heart with great perseverance and gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, in that case, since Cheng thanked the eldest lady, I will definitely return the fifty thousand taels of silver in time. "
In a rage, he hurried out with his men without waiting for anyone to speak. Lin Wanrong laughed loudly and said: "Slow down, slow down, why does Mr. Cheng leave in such a hurry?"
Cheng Ruinian turned around and glared at him fiercely and said, "Is there anything else?"
Lin Wanrong pretended to be kind and said: "Mr. Cheng, I'm not telling you, but you should be kind. If you take fifty thousand taels of silver from the eldest lady, you should at least get an IOU. The eldest lady is kind and upright. It's easy to borrow these fifty thousand taels of silver, but we have to be conscious of it, right?"
Cheng Ruinian's lungs are about to explode. You blackmailed me for 50,000 taels of silver and asked me to issue an IOU? Is there any justice left in this world? However, he had a clue and it fell into Lin San's hands. Today's incident has reached such a situation, so he has no choice but to admit the loss and regain his position in the future. With this thought, he didn't say a word. He immediately took a pen and ink, wrote down an IOU for fifty thousand taels of silver, signed his name, turned around and walked away.
Lin Wanrong took the receipt in his hand and looked at it from left to right, feeling very happy in his heart, "Aren't you fucking evil? I am even more evil than you." The eldest lady approached him and said softly: "You are a man who blackmails and orders your master's young master. Aren't you afraid of his revenge?"
Lin Wanrong was shocked: "Miss, why are you talking to me again?"
You idiot who doesn't understand good people, Xiao Yuruo was angry and ashamed, turned around and fluttered her sleeves to leave. Lin San smiled and pulled her sleeves and said: "Don't be angry, I was joking with you, I just like you." Isn't that so?"
The eldest lady said: "I am talking to you out of kindness, but you like to tease me. It will be strange for me to trust you in the future."
Lin Wanrong sighed and said: "This Cheng De has completely targeted us. Cheng Ruinian's visit today is probably just the beginning."
After hearing him talk about business, the eldest lady stopped arguing with him and frowned: "Then you still want to provoke Cheng Ruinian like this?"
Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and said: "My eldest lady, why don't you understand? Even if I don't provoke Cheng Ruinian, can Cheng De let us go? Our Xiao family is now a thorn in their flesh, a thorn in their side, and we must get rid of them." Fast."
The eldest lady sighed softly and said: "My Xiao family is also very unlucky. I don't know how I got into trouble with these powerful people."
"The trees are as beautiful as the trees, but the wind will destroy them. Our perfume and soap business is booming, but they are jealous and cannot win over them. Naturally, they have no choice but to destroy it." Lin Wanrong said calmly: "Anyway, it is already a fire and water situation. Instead of It would be better for us to punish him first if he punishes us like that."
With Xu Wei's soldiers and horses in hand, Luo Min will soon attack Cheng De. Lin Wanrong has nothing to be afraid of. He smiled and shook the IOU in his hand. With this written note, I will let the four of them get married in a few days. De brings people to your door to collect debts. If you don't pay, I will go to the mansion to beat drums and complain. Luo Min, the fox, probably likes to see this scene the most. He wants to make the trouble known to everyone in Jinling City. Let's see what you, this old dog, can do. how.
The eldest lady hung up the two plaques, and everyone in the Xiao family was naturally happy, especially the servants who followed the third brother last night. Not only did they enjoy the fight, but they also received plaques personally given by the Governor and the Governor. It's simply a great honor. Even though she became a bitch, she could still erect a memorial arch. The third brother is really a model in the world.
Tao Wanying glanced at Lin Wanrong, walked up to him, and said timidly: "Lin San, I have something to ask you."
"Miss Tao, you are too - too polite. Helping others is the foundation of happiness. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Lin Wanrong felt very happy after he had punished Cheng Ruinian. He also liked the little girl Tao Wanying a lot.
"I told you not to be angry." Tao Wanying looked at him cautiously and whispered.
"Miss Wanying, why have you become so polite? You were never like this before." Lin Wanrong said with a coquettish smile.
Hearing him mention the past, Tao Wanying also felt a little embarrassed. She bit her lip and said, "Then tell me, did you do anything to my brother?"
