Chapter 60 Don't worry, leave it to me
Hu Yunshen was already upset, and now being criticized by Old Madam Hu, his tone became even worse.

"Mother, it's easy for you to say that. Isn't all the glory of the Hu family earned by me? If you can't help, don't make things worse."

Old Madam Hu was stunned and angrily slammed her walking stick to the ground, making a thumping sound.

"They say a dog doesn't mind a poor family and a son doesn't mind an ugly mother. But now you think your father and I can't help you, right?"

She had no place to vent her anger, and Hu Yunshen was her only son.

Madam Hu couldn't swallow this breath. She looked around and shouted angrily: "Where is Chen Qingyin! It was because of her debt collector that she invited Madam Du over and caused you to lose your job. Call her over now and I will teach her the rules of being a daughter-in-law!"

Hu Yun frowned and said impatiently, "I asked her to prepare a generous gift to apologize to Lord Du. Mother, please don't make trouble. If you bother her at this time, what will she do if she doesn't pay?"

Old Madam Hu could only swallow her anger.

"Wait until this is over, and then you'll see how I deal with her."

Within a few days.

Chen Qingyin handed the prepared gift to Hu Yunshen.

"My dear, take a look. This is made of top-grade imperial green jadeite. It has a very good meaning."

Hu Yunshen opened the box and took a look.

The jade horse presents a bright, rich and uniform green color. The horse's shape is carved to be lifelike, with all four hooves flying, a strong body, smooth and powerful muscle lines, and a raised horse head representing the meaning of taking the lead.

Such jade, made of top-quality materials, with a icy green color, plenty of water, and a delicate and smooth feel, must be expensive.

Hu Yunshen didn't understand jade, but he also thought it was a good thing.

"Madam, you'd better not make the same mistake again next time. Otherwise, I won't be able to live well, and neither will you."

After Hu Yunshen finished speaking, he took his things and left in a hurry.

He is also in a hurry to please Lord Du.

Hu Mianmian was holding the bottle next to her and took a big sip angrily.

What a jerk dad, what a jerk dad, bah!
He took his mother's things and is now scolding her.

Linlang followed indignantly: "Madam, you gave the general such a good jade horse, but he never thanked you. It's really a waste of God's gift."

Chen Qingyin held the teacup in her hand and smiled gently.

"He doesn't understand jade, so he naturally thinks it's a good thing. If you also think it's a good jade, it means the fake I picked is really good."

Linlang was surprised: "Is it a fake?"

"Of course, how can a Lu Ma Jiao Chi of this quality be seen everywhere? It was originally a collection of the great men of the previous dynasty. After being collected by Lord Du in the early years, it has rarely been seen."

Chen Qingyin sipped her tea, a faint smile on her red lips.

Linlang reacted and her eyes lit up.

"So, if Lord Du saw it, he would know that the general sent a fake one! Madam, aren't you afraid that the general will blame you?"

"He has no reason to blame me. After all, I heard about Lord Du's love for jade and his private collection from my eldest brother. Few people know the rest. I pretended that I didn't know and insisted that I spent a lot of money on it. What can Hu Yunshen do to me?"

Chen Qingyin said this, putting down the teacup with a smile, the look in her black eyes was as sharp as a knife.

"He dares to let me do the job, which means he hasn't suffered enough. It's okay for me to teach him a few lessons and let him suffer."

Compared to his and Liang Yunyan's betrayal, Chen Qingyin felt that he had been very merciful.

as predicted.

That afternoon, Hu Yunshen came back with a bloody head and broke into Chen Qingyin's room angrily.

"Chen Qingyin! You've caused me so much trouble!"

Chen Qingyin saw Hu Yunshen covering his head and his mouth in fear: "What happened to my husband? Linlang, go get the medicine."

Hu Yunshen's eyes were sinister, and he gritted his teeth: "How dare you ask? You've caused me to go to Lord Du's house with the jade horse. Originally, he heard that I wanted to give him jade, so he finally agreed to meet me."

"But as soon as I opened the box, he got furious and threw it at me. Then I realized it was a fake and the real one was in his collection!"

"You actually bought a fake one to fool me, and he broke my head! Chen Qingyin, you have such a vicious mind." Chen Qingyin's tone was extremely innocent: "Husband, how is it possible! I spent one thousand taels to buy it, and I have the receipt here, if you don't believe me, look at it."

She quickly took out the receipt and handed it to Hu Yunshen.

Hu Yunshen took a look and immediately frowned.

Hu Mianmian burst into tears first.

"Mother, we were cheated. That's one thousand taels. We can buy a lot of candy with it."

Chen Qingyin also said angrily: "I have to report to the authorities. How can you sell me fake things? Linlang, call the officials here now."

Hu Yunshen heard this and stopped it immediately.

"Why did you report it to the authorities? Do you want everyone in the capital to know that I failed to bribe Lord Du and got hit on the head by him instead?"

Chen Qingyin pretended to be aggrieved: "Then, what should I do? I was cheated of one thousand taels, and my husband was misunderstood even more by Lord Du."

Seeing her like this, Hu Yunshen felt that she had been deceived, and suddenly felt helpless and furious in his heart.

What bad luck!

Why does all the bad luck happen to him?
Hu Yun took a deep breath and said, "Just give me three thousand taels, and I'll prepare a banquet to make amends."

After hearing what he said, Hu Mianmian wanted to kick him out.

How dare you say that!
He asked his mother for three thousand taels, so giving him three thousand slaps would be more like giving him three thousand slaps!
Chen Qingyin looked embarrassed.

"This……"

"Why, you can't bear to part with it? I'm your husband, and I'm in trouble and I need money, and you're still reluctant to part with it?"

Chen Qingyin shook her head and counted on her fingers: "It's not that I don't want to part with it, but I really don't have any money left. My husband, think about it, my dowry was converted into silver in the early years, and I bought a house for you to use to improve your connections."

"Later, my father and mother took 5,000 taels from me every year. My second sister's coming-of-age ceremony cost 3,000 taels, which I also paid for myself. I don't have much money anymore."

Hu Yunshen felt his face burning as he listened.

Because he knew that what Chen Qingyin said was true.

But he really couldn't imagine that the dowry of a legitimate daughter from the Prime Minister's Mansion would be spent so quickly?
Chen Qingyin took the initiative to suggest: "Oh, by the way, I remembered that there is still a part of the dowry that my mother took to decorate Madam Liang's house. Why don't you... take it out first and pawn it for silver, which will also solve the urgent problem."

Hu Yunshen paused.

It's not that he didn't want to take it, but that he had already taken it!
Everything that should be pawned has been pawned.

But this must not be told to Chen Qingyin.

Hu Yunshen could only say irritably: "It's not good to ask Madam Liang for it. I'll figure it out myself!"

After that, he turned and left.

As soon as Hu Yunshen left, Chen Qingyin's face turned completely cold.

Linlang stepped forward: "Madam, what should we do now?"

Chen Qingyin said calmly, "Hu Yunshen will be anxious if he can't get the money. Find someone to remind him that Hu Lan is dating the son of the Minister of Revenue recently. That son should be very generous."

Linlang nodded.

Hu Mianmian was not idle either.

Under the pretext of going out to play, Dada ran outside.

In a corner where no one was paying attention, the little guy called Yoyo out and handed it a letter.

"Help me deliver this anonymous letter of complaint to the authorities. Remember, do it secretly so no one sees it!"

Yoyo took it with two paws: "Don't worry, Princess Mianmian, I promise to complete the task!"

My dears, if you find a typo, you can long press and there is a "correction" option, which can be submitted directly to my backend and I can handle it directly.

(Not to be lazy)
