Chapter 451: It’s only 2, I can still afford it
Not only Prince Yi's Mansion, but also General Xuanwei's Mansion was guarded by her.
Less than three years had passed, and she already looked like she was going to take over both mansions.
Jiang Ningwan would go to Prince Yi's Mansion every morning to take a look around, treating it as her own house and walking around freely.
This made the people in the mansion miserable.
After only three or four days, Qin gradually couldn't stand it anymore.
"Brother, please think of a solution. Jiang Ningwan comes to the mansion every day for inspection. It's okay for her to come, but every evening there are guards who come to inspect the mansion and even barge into my room at will."
"Can we still live in Prince Yi's Mansion if this continues?"
Qin Beihuang frowned, his heart sinking. "I'll teach you a way. If she comes again tomorrow..."
At dawn the next day, Jiang Ningwan arrived at the gate of Prince Yi's Mansion on time.
Qin gradually got the news and hurried to the door.
When more and more people gathered to watch, Qin Jianjian began to shout, "Everyone, come and see! General Jiang has been divorced from my brother for so many years, and they are still entangled!"
"I don't know how the King of Chu disciplined her, allowing her to have affairs outside and not be a faithful wife!"
Qin gradually became more aggressive and his voice became very loud.
The onlookers heard it and started talking about it.
Jiang Ningwan smiled coldly, not rushing to refute, waiting for more people to gather.
When the street was noisy, Jiang Ningwan took out an IOU.
"Everyone, come and see! This dignified Prince Yi is actually refusing to pay back his debts! Here's the IOU. He said he'd give the house as payment if he couldn't pay. Now he's staying in the house and won't give it back unless he pays back the money!"
"How can there be such a shameless person in this world! It was not easy for me to save up some money, but it was all swindled away by Prince Yi's Mansion!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar.
Qin Beihuang, who was hiding in the mansion, couldn't stand it anymore and walked out.
"Jiang Ningwan! What on earth do you want?"
Jiang Ningwan raised the IOU in her hand and said, "Pay me back!"
"If you return the money, I will never bother you again!"
Qin Beihuang lowered his voice in anger: "We agreed on three years!"
Jiang Ningwan said shamelessly: "I don't care, I want the money now!"
"Anyway, if it gets out, I won't be the one to be embarrassed."
"If this gets out of hand and the Emperor finds out, he'll probably have to ask you what you did with the 100,000 taels you borrowed."
She knew that Qin Beihuang cared about his reputation, and it would be of no benefit to him if the matter got out of hand.
Qin Beihuang gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait a few more days, isn't it just 100,000 taels? I can afford it!"
Jiang Ningwan raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Okay, then I'll come get it in three days!"
After saying that, she jumped on her horse and left with her men.
Qin Beihuang felt heavy-hearted and sighed helplessly.
I just can't figure out how the King of Chu's poison was cured.
It caused him to fail at the last moment.
Three days later, Jiang Ningwan came to collect the debt on time.
Qin Beihuang has also prepared 100,000 taels.
The two of them sat in the pavilion, and Qin Beihuang prepared some more wine and food. "Ning Wan, can't you really give me another chance?"
"I'm not the same person I used to be. Everyone makes mistakes!"
Jiang Ningwan was in his dreams every night.
Jiang Ningwan said coldly, "No."
"I'm here to collect the debt!"
Qin Beihuang looked painful, then took out a money box and placed it in front of her, "Here is ten thousand taels."
Jiang Ningwan was about to open it when she froze, "Ten thousand taels? Don't forget you owe me one hundred thousand taels."
Qin Beihuang: "I know it's 100,000 taels. I'll pay you 10,000 taels a month. After all, the IOU originally stated that it should be paid back within three years."
"Can we both take a step back?"
He didn't want to be even with Jiang Ningwan. As long as he still owed her money, Jiang Ningwan would not turn him away.
Jiang Ningwan frowned and said firmly, "No!"
"One hundred thousand taels means one hundred thousand taels, all in one go!"
"If you really can't pay it back, give me the house and I'll sell it for money."
Qin Beihuang: "But this is all I can give you now!"
Jiang Ningwan didn't believe it. She had inquired before coming here. Qin Beihuang had met Zhou Lin yesterday. If she guessed correctly, the two had already traded ice silkworms.
Qin Beihuang can't sell it too cheaply, one hundred thousand taels should be enough.
If it drags on for too long and Qin Beihuang discovers that the ice silkworm has been swapped, the 100,000 taels may not be recovered.
"Are you kidding me? One hundred thousand taels is one hundred thousand taels, not a cent less!"
"You guys should pack up and move out. I'm going to sell the house." Jiang Ningwan stood up and looked around the house.
"To be honest, your Prince Yi's Mansion is not worth much, so apart from your own personal belongings, you cannot take any other equipment with you."
Jiang Ningwan coldly and ruthlessly calculated how much the Prince Yi's Mansion could be sold for.
Qin Jianjian became extremely anxious when he heard this. If they were really kicked out, they would have no place to live!
Do I have to go out and beg on the streets?
She might as well be dead!
She grabbed Qin Beihuang's sleeve, "Brother..."
Looking at this big family, Qin Beihuang had no choice but to give in. Jiang Ningwan was capable of doing this.
If it were in the past, with military power and manpower, we could protect our houses.
Can the dozen or so guards in the mansion now stop Jiang Ningwan?
"Alright, one hundred thousand taels, I'll give it to you!"
Qin Beihuang finally compromised.
He personally delivered the cash box.
Jiang Ningwan counted the banknotes, not a penny off.
So he readily returned the IOU to him.
At the same time, Zhou Lin had already returned from outside the city with his men, and rushed straight to Prince Yi's Mansion with great momentum.
I got an extremely cold ice silkworm yesterday, but I don't know how to use it specifically. It would be a waste if I use such an expensive thing in the wrong way.
So I went to the black market specifically to ask how to use the extreme cold ice silkworm and to verify its authenticity.
Unexpectedly, it was fake!
This is not the extremely cold ice silkworm at all!
Qin Beihuang actually dared to lie to him!
Jiang Ningwan took the money and immediately left Prince Yi's Mansion. Just as she arrived at the gate, she was attracted by the sound of horse hooves coming from the end of the street. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Zhou Lin.
That arrives so fast?
Qin Beihuang didn't notice, his mind was on Jiang Ningwan, and he asked unwillingly: "If I need anything in the future, can I still ask you for help?"
Jiang Ningwan didn't have time to listen to his nonsense. She immediately got on her horse and turned around with a bright smile.
"Now that we're done, it's best if you don't ask me for help again."
After saying this, she spurred her horse and rode away.
The elegant figure gradually went away, and Qin Beihuang was a little dazed in the cold wind.
Just now... Jiang Ningwan actually smiled at him.
I'm not that cold-blooded towards him.
Riding his horse around the corner, Jiang Ningwan looked back and saw that Zhou Lin had already arrived at the gate of Prince Yi's Mansion.
Thankfully, he said, "It was just a little bit off. Fortunately, I ran fast."
She also looked around the corner for a while.
Seeing Zhou Lin angrily throwing a box to Qin Beihuang and saying something, Qin Beihuang's face turned green.
Now Qin Beihuang is in trouble.
Jiang Ningwan turned around and left, taking the money and going to Huichuntang first.
Doctor Hong was very surprised when he learned about the situation, but then he said with delight: "Young lady has really tricked Qin Beihuang this time."
Jiang Ningwan poured the tea slowly. "He wanted to take my money and filmed the Arctic Ice Silkworm to threaten me. He deserved it."
Fortunately, she was careful at the time. When she learned that Qin Beihuang spent 300,000 taels to bid for the extremely cold ice silkworm, she immediately made a decision and had someone replace the extremely cold ice silkworm.
I didn't expect that it was used to plot against her.
