Chapter 106 Mr. Chai comes to apologize
The princess was worried about her sister-in-law, and she was really afraid that the emperor would treat her own princess as a pervert and lock her up.
Luo Qingge pulled her hand away, "Of course I know that, I'm just saying it."
"Unfortunately, my third sister-in-law is already married. Even if we can't be a couple in heaven, it's not bad for us to be best friends."
……
Ji Yuntang returned to the Night King's Mansion in a carriage. As soon as the carriage stopped at the door, he heard the coachman's voice.
"Princess, there is another group of people gathered at the gate of our palace. I see one of them seems to be Manager Cui from Jincheng Bank. Could he be here to collect debts again?"
It is now the 1st hour of the evening, the sun has already set, and the evening sunset illuminates half the sky.
The entrance to Prince Ye's Mansion has been particularly busy these past few days. There are either rich ladies coming to buy facial cleansers from Ji Yuntang, or money shop owners coming to collect debts, and there are also many ordinary people who come to watch the fun.
Moreover, Shopkeeper Cui had just come here at noon, and it hasn’t been long since then, and he came again.
Ji Yuntang frowned. She had clearly told Manager Cui to give her another day, but the time was obviously not up yet.
So why did the other party come to see her?
"Pull over and let me go down and take a look."
Ji Yuntang got off the carriage. When Shopkeeper Cui saw her, he immediately came over with a stern look on his face and knelt down in front of her.
"I greet the Queen Mother of the Night. I came here today to apologize to the Queen Mother of the Night. It was my fault today. I shouldn't have brought people to the Night Palace to collect debts. I am disrespectful and have offended the Queen Mother. Please punish me."
Ji Yuntang looked at the servants of Jincheng Money House who were kneeling on the ground. They were the ones who came with Manager Cui to collect debts from her today. She looked confused.
"Manager Cui, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, please stand up and speak first."
At this moment, a powerful voice exploded in my ears.
"Just let him kneel down. He dared to offend our Chai family's benefactor. I didn't let him pack up and leave, which was a relief for him. If Princess Ye doesn't forgive you today, you are not allowed to get up. Wait until Princess Ye's anger subsides before you can get up."
The voice beside his ear was filled with obvious anger. Ji Yuntang turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a square face and wearing a blue robe striding towards him.
He lifted up the hem of his clothes with his hands, knelt on the ground respectfully, and saluted Ji Yuntang.
"I, Chai Rufeng, pay my respects to Her Majesty Princess Ye."
Ji Yuntang blinked in confusion. Who was Chai Rufeng? Did she know him?
As if seeing the doubt in Ji Yuntang's eyes, Chai Rufeng explained:
"Princess Ye may not recognize me, but you saved my youngest son, Chai Minghao, at the medical competition. After he went back and took the medicine you prescribed, his mood has stabilized a lot. My wife also followed your instructions and put away all those books and textbooks. Although Hao is still quiet, he no longer cries and tries to commit suicide at every turn."
"My Lady Princess Ye, you saved Hao'er, so you are the benefactor of our Chai family. I didn't know before that Cui Qi dared to bring people to the gate of the Ye Palace to collect debts. If I had known, I would never have let him come no matter what."
Only after he finished explaining did Ji Yuntang finally understand.
It turns out that the bank that Nanny Xu borrowed money from was actually owned by Chai Minghao, the autistic young master who participated in the medical competition.
Ji Yuntang had heard before that the Chai family was one of the most prominent business families in Dongchen Kingdom. They were extremely wealthy and had a very large business, making them the richest family in the capital.
The Chai Rufeng in front of him is the current head of the Chai family, and is also affectionately called Mr. Chai.
The wealthy men on TV were all big and strong, but the man in front of him was well-dressed, respectful and polite, which made Ji Yuntang have a much better impression of Chai Rufeng, even though he had a request for her.
"Mr. Chai, there is no need to be so polite. Please get up quickly. It is my honor to help the young master of your mansion. In three to five days, I will go to your mansion to provide psychological counseling for the young master."
Upon hearing this, Chai Rufeng was overjoyed and kowtowed to her again.
"Then I would like to thank the Princess for staying overnight."
He stood up and said, "Princess, I am a businessman and I don't like to beat around the bush."
"I heard from Shopkeeper Cui that last year, Nanny Xu from the palace came to the bank to borrow 15,000 taels of silver in the name of His Royal Highness the Night King. I'm sure His Royal Highness the Night King didn't know about this."
"Your Highness Ye Wang is the god of war in the eyes of the people of Dongchen. I may not be able to help him with his health, so you don't have to pay me back. Just consider it as a token of my gratitude to you for healing my son. This small token of gratitude is not a respectful gesture, so I hope you won't refuse it."
After he finished speaking, he pulled out a signed IOU from his sleeve and prepared to tear it up in public.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Chai." Ji Yuntang stopped him and said slowly, "This princess and Lord Ye are indeed unaware of the fact that Madam Xu owes a debt, but the name on this IOU is my husband's. If we tear it up like this, this princess is worried that someone will use this matter to make a fuss."
"How about this? The money and interest on this IOU will be considered as the medical fee for my treatment of the young master. Once I cure him, the debt will be written off. How do you think?"
"By then, it won't be too late for Mr. Chai to tear up this IOU."
It is impossible to ask Aunt Xu to pay the money now. Ji Yuntang has already made up his mind to ask Aunt Xu to hand over the title deeds of the house and the shop to pay off the debt.
This way, you won't suffer any loss.
And she also didn't want Luo Junhe to bear the stigma of not paying back his debts because of what Aunt Xu did.
The Night Palace can no longer withstand the turmoil.
Paying off this debt with his own labor is the best solution Ji Yuntang can think of now.
Chai Rufeng admired Ji Yuntang's way of doing things very much. He was neither hasty nor slow, neither arrogant nor impatient, and he never took advantage of others.
He clasped his hands together and said respectfully: "I will obey the orders of the Queen of Night."
The debt issue came to a temporary end, and Ji Yuntang felt slightly relieved.
After seeing off the people from the Chai Mansion, she thought of the deeds to the house and shop in Nanny Xu's hand. After entering the mansion, she immediately went to Beiyuan where Nanny Xu and Liu Linlang lived.
When they pushed the door open, they saw some ordinary mahogany furniture. It was not as good as the one in their room, but it was not bad overall.
A pungent smell of traditional Chinese medicine could be smelled in the air. It was probably because Liu Linlang's face had not recovered and she had been taking traditional Chinese medicine all the time.
Ji Yuntang glanced through it casually and began to search everywhere.
Thinking of the place where Nanny Xu had mentioned the treasure was hidden, Ji Yuntang opened the wardrobe and found a black box under the thick clothes.
