Chapter 226 Between the palms of hands
Shen Jingchuan raised his hand and the slap almost landed on Qin Xuerong's face, but finally he stopped with his remaining rationality.
Old Madam Qin naturally couldn't bear to see her daughter and grandson suffer here, so she didn't care about anything else and said in a deep voice: "My dear son-in-law, as the saying goes, you should teach your children behind closed doors. The most urgent thing right now is to solve the problem for Brother Lin first."
What this means is that you can't let these people laugh at you in public.
Shen Jingchuan sneered. Didn’t he know that these people were laughing at him?
But now is not the time to care about face.
Once this matter gets out tomorrow, how will he change his reputation? How will he change those rumors?
How can I change His Majesty's suspicion of me?
Huo Yuanlang also stepped forward to stop him and said in a deep voice: "Master Shen, please be patient. Young Master Shen is young, so it is inevitable that he is arrogant. If you just criticize him blindly, it will not help."
Huo Yuanlang practiced martial arts since he was young and was a famous military general.
He stretched out his hand to stop him, but Shen Jingchuan had to give him this face whether he wanted to or not.
He clasped his fists to Huo Yuanlang in shame and said in a deep voice, "I am so sorry, General Huo, I am not a good parent and I have embarrassed you and everyone else!"
At this time, Zhao Dehai stepped forward and said in a gentle voice: "Lord Shen has been honest for many years. This is not a small amount. If Lord Shen is short of money, I am willing to lend some money to your house for circulation."
Others' eyes fell on Zhao Dehai, and they knew that the Qingyuan Marquisate and the Shen family were originally related by marriage.
He also knew that the Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion had not been favored in recent years, so the old marquis's youngest son had been engaged in business. He had done a lot of business over the years and made some money.
I just didn't expect that the people in Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion were so kind and righteous. In this situation, they were willing to use silver and money to make ends meet.
After listening to Zhao Dehai's words, Shen Jingchuan was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
You know, what Zhao Dehai is borrowing is not just money, what he is borrowing is Shen Jingchuan's reputation!
Shen Jingchuan raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, choking with sobs, "Thank you, uncle. To be honest, it is indeed difficult for my Shen family to handle this amount of money, but don't worry, once my Shen family counts the assets, we will definitely return it all!"
Old Madam Qin narrowed her eyes. She didn't expect that the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion had been so active recently, and even had such a close relationship with Shen Jingchuan.
Shen Shuyi's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes were clear.
In order to deal a heavy blow to the Qin family, she could only apologize to her cheap father first.
After all, this is how people are. As long as the pain doesn't fall on themselves, they can always pick things up high and put them down gently.
Shen Jingchuan is not a corrupt official. He has ambitions for power, but he is not greedy for money.
In a loose sense, he could even be considered a good official, but without the support of a family background, every step he took was not easy.
It is both cautious and busy.
Therefore, although he also engages in social transactions and personal connections, at least he has a bottom line.
"You and I are family, there is no need to be so discriminating. Besides, my brother-in-law has taken good care of me over the years, so I should take the lead at this time." Zhao Dehai said in a gentle voice.
Shen Jingchuan felt relieved after hearing these words. He felt more and more that it was right for him to listen to Shen Shuyi and visit Qingyuan Marquis Mansion.
I wonder how much more help people like Zhao Dechuan and Zhao Dehai, who are more perceptive, can provide to him than a straightforward idiot like Lou Zhengtao.
Lou Zhengtao sneered, "It is said that the young master of the Qingyuan Marquisate is as rich as a country. Now seeing how rich and powerful you are, it is true."
As soon as Lou Zhengtao spoke, Shen Jingchuan's expression, which had relaxed a little, darkened again.
Qin Guiqiong frowned and pulled his arm, feeling annoyed.
What does it have to do with him!
I have to seek a sense of existence at this time!
Zhao Dehai raised his eyes and looked at him. He was neither angry nor evasive. He just said in a deep voice: "Lord Lou, where did you get this from? You said everything, but I don't know who you are referring to? Please tell me. I am willing to confront him face to face!"
Zhao Dechuan couldn't bear to see his brother being questioned, so he immediately said in a cold voice: "Every penny of the Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion is clean. If Lord Lou has any objections, you can report it to His Majesty and ask someone to conduct a thorough investigation!"
These words were powerful and resounding.
Lou Zhengtao was speechless for a long time.
Perhaps he could sense the difference between how Shen Jingchuan treated the Zhao family and how he treated him, or perhaps he couldn't stand the fact that although the Qingyuan Marquisate was in decline, it was still rich, so he couldn't help but feel some hostility.
But at the moment, Zhao Dechuan's words were so righteous and frank that he felt less confident.
After all, everyone knows that His Majesty is quite disgusted with the Qingyuan Marquisate. Now that the Qingyuan Marquisate dares to challenge him in public, they must have a clear conscience.
Huo Yuanlang quickly tried to smooth things over: "Since the Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion is willing to help out, Lord Shen might as well take this opportunity to pay off the debt for the young master. Of course, this money is from the old lady's private money, so it's not urgent, so Lord Shen can put it aside for last."
"Thank you General Huo for your understanding. I am truly grateful!" Shen Jingchuan bowed and clasped his hands together, this time with a little more sincerity.
Song Huaan was about to speak, but Madam Song said first: "Sir Shen, I am a woman and should not say anything more, but this money was originally used to treat Huaan's grandmother, so..."
Mrs. Song looked embarrassed, as if she had something to hide.
Upon hearing this, Shen Jingchuan blushed even more, and said immediately: "Mrs. Song is too kind. Young Master Song is willing to lend such an important sum of money to my rebellious son, which makes me feel ashamed. What's more, he turned a blind eye to Young Master Song. This money should be paid back first!"
After that, Shen Jingchuan turned to look at Qin Xuerong and said in a deep voice: "Why don't you go get the silver right away."
"Yes." Qin Xuerong didn't care about her face. She immediately took the warehouse key and asked Cuizhu to get the banknotes.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Tingshan subconsciously looked at Shen Jingyu, who had been silent, and his face became a little gloomy.
Why is it a bad time to ask for debts? At this time?
It is understandable that the Huo family brought this incident to light because of the dispute between the two teenagers, but would the Chengguo Mansion be short of 10,000 taels?
Now, the Song family insists on demanding the debt in public, making the Shen family lose face. What's the difference between this and slapping Shen Jingchuan in the face!
I am afraid that in the future, this Minister Shen will not be willing to marry his family to the Chengguo Mansion, let alone consider me.
Xiao Tingshan was upset, feeling that not only had he failed to win over Shen Jingchuan, but today's incident had even caused Shen Jingchuan to feel alienated from the Chengguo Mansion, and he would not help him in the future.
The well-planned plan was suddenly disrupted, and Xiao Tingshan felt upset.
What was even more difficult for him to describe was that he always felt that there was a big hand in the dark, silently making all of this happen, as if everyone was being manipulated in its palm.
But, what exactly is this person going to do?
Who is this targeting?
Thinking of this, Xiao Tingshan couldn't explain the reason, and subconsciously looked at Shen Shuyi who had been standing quietly beside Old Madam Zhao.
Perhaps he had noticed something, Shen Shuyi looked up and met Xiao Tingshan's eyes.
She curled her lips and smiled gently at him, her clear eyes looking cold and a little vicious.
