Jiang Ruanxi's words undoubtedly tore away the fig leaf between the two of them.

Although Lin Ningkun was shameless, it was only in front of Jiang Ruanxi. In front of outsiders, he would not dare to do such a shameless thing.

"Who said we should go get it ourselves?" Mrs. Zhou was still unwilling to give in, and said with a pinched neck, "Can't you just get it yourself and deliver it to us?"

Although Jiang Ruan Xi was prepared, he was also frightened by Zhou's shameless words.

Lin Runkun's forehead was so angry that he couldn't bear her greed any longer and yelled loudly.

"It's nonsense, it's just nonsense. If this matter spreads, the joke will not only be on your Marquis Mansion, but also on our Lin family. Your Marquis Mansion is shameless and if you don't want a future, don't implicate our Lin family."

"Hmph, Lin Shu didn't say anything, why did you interrupt? Could it be that you, Lin Runkun, can be Lin Shu's boss?"

Zhou felt that now that everything had been said, she didn't care what Lin Runkun would think. Anyway, now that Lin Ningkun's official position was ruined, he no longer needed to follow Lin Runkun.

What she has to do now is to fight for her own interests as much as possible.

Lin Shu's expression also changed drastically.

He just said that on purpose. He originally thought that they would retreat due to such an embarrassing thing, but who would have thought that they would actually be so shameless.

He had never imagined such a situation, and was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.

"Pfft."

Jiang Ruanxi couldn't help laughing.

Lin Ningkun became angry from embarrassment, "Jiang Ruanxi, why are you laughing?"

"I'm thinking that it's hard to talk about the third sister's marriage."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Zhou was furious. "You are Tingting's sister-in-law after all. Why can't you see her? How evil-hearted are you?"

"What my mother said is wrong. I was thinking about it for the sake of my third sister, but you are not willing to do it. You have to ruin her marriage before you are willing to do it."

Lin Runkun and Lin Shu were puzzled, and Zhou was even more confused, "Jiang Ruan Xi, what are you talking about?"

"Yes, can you explain it clearly at once?" Lin Ningkun also said angrily.

"It's like this. Last time the patriarch asked me to inquire about the marriage of my third uncle's aunt in the clan. I didn't have much contact with the outside world before, so I never found a suitable one. But now I have just been commended by the Holy One. Suddenly, I There are quite a few high-ranking ladies who come to visit me, and there are quite a few of them who come to inquire about information."

"If mother insists on making this matter a big deal, I won't talk about the marriages of the girls in the clan. I'm afraid it will be difficult to talk about the marriages of these three sisters in the future."

After all, his brother's reputation has been ruined and he has a greedy mother. Who dares to marry her into the family?

Ms. Zhou was immediately stunned. Her two sons were already dead, could she really ruin her daughter's future?

Lin Ningkun obviously thought about it, but he not only wanted money, but also wanted to make a fortune from his sister.

"It seems that the Marquis has already made a decision. I won't talk about the third sister's matter, so as not to embarrass myself later."

Jiang Ruan Xi's words undoubtedly hit Lin Ningkun's weakness. He wanted benefits, but he was unwilling to let Lin Shu go.

You must know that before this, the Lin family mainly looked up to themselves and only followed their lead. But now that Lin Shu has risen, he is no longer the only support of the Lin family.

The huge gap made him very uncomfortable, but he couldn't care about so much now.

Rather than trying to calm down with Lin Shu here, he had more to think about the future of the Hou Mansion.

"The third sister's marriage is naturally important, but it's not enough to just let it go. At the very least, we have to pay back twice the amount of money."

"Ten thousand taels of silver. In just one month, you want twenty thousand taels of silver. Lin Ningkun, are you going too far?"

Lin Runkun was so angry that his beard was about to fly.

Even if the bank lends money at usury, it's not that expensive.

Jiang Ruanxi lowered his eyes, but he was not surprised. He was afraid that Lin Runkun didn't even know it until now, but Lin Ningkun had already restrained himself a lot.

This kind of greedy person can't even fill a mountain of gold and silver.

"How can you go too far? This is already the bottom line. If the clan leader thinks it is too much, then I don't mind making this matter bigger." Lin Ningkun threatened, "What your Majesty is most taboo about is not using real materials but using them. Money bribes. If he knows that you bribed officials, you can decide who will suffer greater losses at that time."

Indeed, although Lin Ningkun also did similar things, his reputation is now ruined. He doesn't care more, but Lin Shu is different. He has just entered high school, and his official career and even his life have just begun. .

A mere ten thousand taels of silver is really nothing compared to my own future.

"Okay, I promise you."

Lin Shu thought twice and had to bow his head.

Lin Runkun was still worried about him.

"Lin Shu, have you thought about it? Your family's current situation is that twenty thousand taels of silver is an astronomical amount."

"Patriarch, I know everything. Please don't worry too much, patriarch. I have my own considerations."

Lin Runkun saw that he had made up his mind and said nothing more.

But he knew Lin Ningkun's character well, so he reminded him, "Since you have already agreed, in order to avoid everyone regretting it, let's make a written statement about it."

Lin Ningkun was not willing to give people a clue about this matter, but if he didn't agree, Lin Runkun would definitely not let go.

So, without even thinking about it, he agreed directly, "Okay, if we sign the contract, we will sign the contract."

"But I have to remind you, if I don't get the money within five days, I don't mind a desperate situation."

Lin Shu felt uncomfortable, but had to agree.

Lin Ningkun and Zhou took the papers and left, but Lin Shu felt particularly heavy.

His family was already impoverished in order to study for him. Not to mention the current financial difficulties, how could he collect so much money in a short period of time?

Lin Runkun felt sorry for his experience and comforted him, "Don't worry, I will find a way for you, and I will get you so much money no matter what."

Jiang Ruanxi said quietly, "Clan leader, there are some bottomless pits that cannot be filled no matter what."

Lin Runkun was stunned for a moment, a little confused by what she said, "What do you mean..."

"I'm just a woman. I don't have any opinions. I just think that some things are not very honorable in the first place. Even if they escape today, one day they will be exposed. Patriarch, don't you think so?"

Her words made Lin Runkun think deeply.

Jiang Ruanxi smiled again, "Disgraceful things have become a handle. Sooner or later, someone will take advantage of it. It's better to face it frankly. Maybe there is a glimmer of hope."

"But what if it fails?"
