Chapter 171 Asking for money
Lin Jinhu smiled happily and took Qingqing to find the shopkeeper to sign the contract.

The shopkeeper saw the badge of Nanhou Mansion and looked at Qingqing's clothes.

He knew that the little girl in front of him was not the daughter of Nanhou Mansion, but when he saw that the girl could write the handwriting of the daughter of Nanhou Mansion, and knew the land deeds and private houses under the name of the daughter of Nanhou Mansion, he knew that the little girl must be the confidant of the daughter of Nanhou Mansion, so he agreed immediately.

Lin Jinhu spent money recklessly in the casino and soon lost everything. He was disappointed and unwilling to give up. He planned to continue to use Qingqing to exchange for money. He grabbed the other person's wrist without even turning his head.

Because she was in a hurry to exchange the money, she didn't notice that the other person's wrist was two times thicker than Qingqing's.

"Damn it! Let me go!"

The other party cursed fiercely with a mouth full of yellow teeth, and was so angry that he punched Lin Jinhu in the eye.

Lin Jinhu grimaced in pain, and then he realized that Qingqing was missing.

He saw that the man who hit him was eight feet tall and bigger than him, so he didn't dare to talk back and let the other party vent his anger. He was so angry that he went to find Qingqing.

At this time, Qingqing knelt in front of Wei Yanyue and complained in tears.

"Miss, the uncle doesn't take you seriously. He is just trampling on the reputation of the Nanhou Mansion. The uncle has always been thinking about your dowry. He has been secretly asking around and has found out your land deeds and private houses. I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't see you. The uncle also held me tightly and kept watching me."

There was a calculation in Qingqing's eyes, but she continued to exaggerate with an innocent look on her face.

"If Master hadn't gone to gamble today, I wouldn't have found a chance to tell you that Master would definitely take me away when he loses all his money. I don't want to go back to Master. Master also said that I am the young lady's personal maid. Those guys in the casino can't sleep with the young lady, so they can only focus on me to relieve their longing for the young lady..."

"presumptuous!"

Wei Yanyue was furious. Damn Lin Jinhu, she would make sure Lin Jinhu pay for it!
When Qingqing saw Wei Yanyue crying and going to Madam Nanhou to complain, she sneered secretly and followed him.

Same person but different fate. Just because she was born in a bad family, she will be trampled on by others. Even if she dies, she will drag Lin Jinhu with her!

Madam Nanhou was watching Wei Luoyan taking medicine.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and you look worse. Why don't you stop helping the prince and rest at home?"

Wei Luoyan suppressed the bitterness in his mouth and shook his head.

"The prince is currently lacking someone he can trust. If I'm not here, and the prince trusts someone else in the future, I won't be able to speak in front of him."

Madam Nanhou had to give up trying to persuade Wei Luoyan.

"Mom! Lin Jinhu bullied me!"

Those who had not seen Wei Yanyue heard Wei Yanyue's crying voice coming into the room.

Madam Nanhou's heart tightened. She stood up and walked outside. Before she had taken three steps, she saw Wei Yanyue running over and hugging her.

"Mother, you have to make the decision for me. Lin Jinhu is really too much. He used his daughter's dowry to gamble and paid it all to the casino."

Madam Nanhou seemed to be struck by lightning, and it took her a while to react.

"Wei Yanyue! Why did you give your dowry to Lin Jinhu?"

Wei Yanyue was crying with grievance, "My daughter didn't give her dowry to Lin Jinhu. He secretly inquired about my daughter's dowry and took Qingqing to the casino, claiming that my daughter had agreed to let him gamble with her dowry. The shopkeeper saw that Qingqing was from the Nanhou Mansion and was my daughter's personal maid, so he believed Lin Jinhu's words, and then they signed the contract."

Madam Nanhou was so angry that she felt dizzy.

"Bring Qingqing in!"

Qingqing walked into the room with red eyes and nose, and knelt on the ground to explain everything to Madam Nanhou and Wei Luoyan.

After hearing this, Wei Luoyan was so angry that he had a splitting headache.

"They have calculated that the Nanhou Mansion dare not openly default on its debts. That idiot Lin Jinhu will one day make the entire Nanhou Mansion pay for it." "I have already advised the son-in-law, but he would not listen. He even wants to sell me without the young lady's permission." Qingqing knocked her head to the ground, not daring to look directly into Wei Luoyan's terrifying eyes.

Wei Luoyan was so angry that he gave Shuda a vicious look.

Shuda had no choice but to drag Qingqing out and beat her to death with a stick. As a servant, life and death depended entirely on the master's pleasure.

Qingqing struggled and begged Wei Yanyue, "Miss, if I die, who will serve you, my son-in-law?"

Wei Yanyue hesitated and wanted to open her mouth to stop Shuda, but she saw her brother glaring at her with a warning. She didn't dare to speak for a moment and watched Qingqing being dragged out and beaten to death.

Qingqing gave a mocking smile. She was the only person who had been alone with Lin Jinhu during this period. If she died, there would be no evidence.

Even if Lin Jinhu had a hundred mouths, he would not be able to defend himself. No one would believe what Lin Jinhu said. Everyone would think that Lin Jinhu was quibbling, and she would wait for Lin Jinhu to come down from Huangquan.

After about half an incense stick of time, Qingqing only had one breath left.

Lin Jinhu went back to Nanhou Mansion angrily to look for Qingqing. When he saw Qingqing's back was covered in blood and saw the servant wrapping Qingqing in a straw mat and carrying her away, he suddenly fell to his knees.

"Why did you kill Qingqing?"

Shuda glanced at Lin Jinhu coldly, "You're back just in time, the Master and Madam are looking for you."

Lin Jinhu subconsciously ran away, but was grabbed by the servant by both hands.

"What are you doing? I'm your son-in-law, how can you treat me like this?"

Shuda sneered, "What son-in-law? You won't be one soon!"

"The marriage between Wei Yanyue and I was arranged by the emperor. Do you dare not recognize this marriage? You are trying to step on the emperor's head to make trouble." Lin Jinhu said provocatively with a crooked mouth and squinting eyes.

Wei Luoyan came out at some point, frowned and asked Shuda to cover Lin Jinhu's mouth. He went into the palace to discuss the divorce with the prince.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wei Luoyan left, people from the casino came to Nanhou Mansion to ask for money.

Wei Yanyue was so angry that he ordered people to drive them away, but those people in the casino were all sinister and cunning scoundrels. They all refused to leave the door of Nanhou Mansion, making a scene and demanding repayment of their debts.

The matter became a big deal. When Lord Nan found out about it, he thought they were making a fuss, so he let them in to stop them from talking nonsense outside.

When Lord Nan saw the signed and sealed contract they handed over, he realized that something was wrong.

"Someone, go get the young lady's deed to the private house and call the lady or young lady over."

"Yes."

As soon as Wei Yanyue arrived, she picked up the deed and looked at it. She was shocked when she saw the signature on the deed. The handwriting was exactly the same as hers.

When she heard Qingqing say that just now, she didn't feel anything. But now that she saw it with her own eyes, she could better understand why the casino agreed to let Lin Jinhu continue gambling.

"Dad, the signature on the deed has nothing to do with me. Lin Jinhu signed it without telling me. I don't acknowledge it!"

No matter who signs the contract, who in the casino would let the fool go?
"This is the promise made by your Nanhou Mansion. Since you are reluctant to give us the land and house, then exchange it for money."

Wei Yanyue was choked and said angrily, "Lin Jinhu is not from our Nanhou Mansion. If you need money, go to him. Why do you have to rely on our Nanhou Mansion?"

Lord Nan was also angry, but he remained calm.

"How much do you want?"

"Not much, 8000 taels, but considering that your Nanhou Mansion is on good terms with our boss, I will take 5000 taels from you."
