"I can't just ignore the rest of the Lin family just for my eldest brother's affairs, right? Besides, for eldest brother's affairs, apart from me and the Marquis, isn't there also my sister-in-law? I believe that the He family will not ignore this matter either. Yes."

If the He family was so easy to talk to, there would be no need for Lin Feng to come to their door.

Not to mention begging the He family, if the He family knew about this, not only would they not help, they might even try their best to sever the relationship.

Zhou felt uncomfortable in her heart and wanted to help her son, but was unable to do so.

She wanted to ask Jiang Ruan Xi for help, but the reasons given by Jiang Ruan Xi left her with no way to refute.

For a moment, it felt as if there was a breath stuck in my chest, and it felt uncomfortable as if it couldn't go up or come down.

"Mother, I advise you to hurry up. Otherwise, you will miss the opportunity and cause a commotion in the city. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for the Marquis."

Jiang Ruanxi stood up and said, "My mother and the Marquis will handle the eldest brother's affairs, so I don't need to worry about anything. I have a lot of things to do in the house, so I won't bother my mother."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The moment he turned around, Jiang Ruan Xi's eyes flashed, but no one saw it.

Not long after Jiang Ruanxi left, Lin Ningkun came back angrily.

Mrs. Zhou looked anxious, "How's it going? Is your elder brother back?"

Lin Ningkun took a sip of tea and said angrily, "No."

"Why, is Chunhua Tower unwilling to let him go? You are also the Marquis of Dingning after all. Why are they so disrespectful?"

Speaking of this matter, Lin Ningkun became even more angry.

"Mom, if Chunhua Tower can open so big in Kyoto, the backing behind it will definitely not be that simple. I just came to the door to report my family name, but the other party didn't have face at all, saying that it is only natural to pay back debts. If I didn't transfer the money If you send it to your doorstep, they won’t let you go.”

"Isn't this overbearing and unreasonable?" Ms. Zhou felt unwilling in her heart. "We haven't met your eldest brother yet, how can we be sure that the IOU was written by your eldest brother? How about we report it to the official."

"No, if I report it to the official, wouldn't it be made known to everyone?"

Lin Ningkun is a very face-saving person, and he will never let his eldest brother's matter affect his career.

"What should we do? Jiang Ruanxi's money can't be used. We don't have that much money yet. Isn't this pushing people directly towards a dead end?"

Lin Ningkun's face was also ugly. He thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I can only rely on my sister-in-law for this matter. You should go to the He family to talk about this matter."

When Mrs. Zhou thought of going to He's house, she felt extremely reluctant.

He refused without thinking, "I won't go. Don't you know the character of the He family? They won't lend us money. Besides, even if they lend money, they will definitely force your eldest brother to do things he doesn't want to do. At that time, your eldest brother will live in the shadow of your sister-in-law for the rest of his life."

"So is my mother planning to let the Marquis ruin his official career and not want to go to the He family? In my mother's heart, is the dignity of my eldest brother more important than the future of the Marquis and his family?"

The sudden appearance of Jiang Ruan Xi, who had left and returned, startled Zhou, and she reflexively retorted, "No, that's not the case. Of course I value the future of the Marquis, but..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Ruanxi interrupted her directly, "If that's the case, then mother should go to the He family."

Zhou gritted her teeth and was forced to do nothing, so she took her servant to the He family overnight.

Lin Ningkun felt more at ease. He looked at Jiang Ruan Xi, thinking about her dedication to him, and the emotion on his face became gentler. "Thank you for reminding me about what happened tonight."

In the past, as long as Lin Ningkun showed the slightest kindness to her, Jiang Ruanxi would fly with joy. But after a lifetime, Lin Ningkun like this now makes her very disgusted.

Mrs. Zhou was originally timid, and she certainly had problems educating her son. Lin Feng was not righteous in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, but what about Lin Ningkun?

He looks righteous and upright, but in fact he is a villain who is unwilling to take responsibility.

When something like this happened to his eldest brother, he didn't think about the reason and blamed everything on his mother.

Not only that, the dirty things he did in private were worse than Lin Feng's. Jiang Ruan Xi would feel sick every time he thought about it.

"You are so polite, Mr. Hou. I am not doing this for Mr. Hou's sake, but because I don't want to cause trouble for my elder brother." Jiang Ruanxi looked very cold, which was very different from his previous attitude towards him.

Lin Ningkun was displeased. Shouldn't Jiang Ruan Xi be kind to him at this time?

"Master Marquis, there are other matters at the residence, so I'll take my leave first."

Jiang Ruan Xi didn't bother too much, but Lin Ningkun fell into deep thought when he saw her cold and thin back.

Finally, a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth. Did he think he could arouse his interest in this way?

She is really dreaming!

When Jiang Ruanxi returned to the room, Hongye sent the information he had learned.

"Madam, He Kui has followed your instructions and stocked up the nearby Ganoderma lucidum and several herbs you specifically ordered."

She counted the time and saw that it was still some time before that happened, "You ask him to expand the scope, not just Kyoto."

"Yes."

After Hongye went out, Jiang Ruanxi relaxed.

With the Lin family's sister-in-law's gossip, Lin Ningkun will definitely not alarm others during this period, and will not impulsively go to see Jiang Xuerou.

However, this is not her real purpose.

Lin Ningkun will definitely concentrate on taking care of his career. Even if he doesn't give him money, he will not give up this opportunity.

Coupled with Lin Feng's incident, the Hou Mansion now needs to take out a lot of money. Even if they can take it out, they still have to peel off a layer of skin.

Now that they are anxious or asking for help, they feel relieved about the things they did to themselves in their previous life.

But this was not enough, she wanted the entire Dingninghou Mansion to be buried with her.

The dancing candlelight on the table hit her beautiful face, Jiang Ruanxi's eyes darkened, and he had an idea instantly.

**

Lin Ningkun was sitting in the yard, looking at the bright moon in the sky. The time Lin Runkun said was getting closer and closer, and Lin Feng's incident happened again, and he felt extremely anxious.

The originally innocent face was tainted with a bit of chill due to anxiety.

"Lin Yi, go and see why the old lady hasn't come back yet?"

Just as Lin Yi was about to go out, Mrs. Zhou came back.

"Master Marquis, the old lady is back."

Lin Ningkun's expression softened and he quickly greeted her, but when he saw that only Zhou came back, he was extremely disappointed, "Mother, why are you the only one coming back, where is my sister-in-law?"
