After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"Yan'er, please stop joking with me at this time. How can the Hou Mansion only have a few hundred taels of silver left?" Lin Zeyuan quickly regained his composure.

"Zeyuan, you don't believe me?" Chu Huanyan looked at Lin Zeyuan blankly, "Do you think I would ignore my aunt's life and death for the sake of money?"

"That's not what I meant!" Lin Zeyuan suppressed the anger and eagerness in his heart and said, "Yan'er, I'm just worried about my mother. Can you help me think of a solution?"

"This..." Chu Huanyan looked confused, and after thinking for a moment, she asked, "Ze Yuan, how much money do you have in your hands now?"

Lin Zeyuan's eyes darkened, and when he was about to say that he had no savings at all, Chu Huanyan said again.

"I still have 10,000 taels of silver, which I have pledged as payment for the goods, but I have already signed a contract. If I break the contract midway, I can only get back 6,000 taels. Adding to the silver I have on hand, it is even worth 6,500 taels, which is not enough. Yes. If you can come up with the remaining fifteen hundred taels, I can ask Xian Yue to return the goods."

"Miss, how can this be done! If we return the goods and lose the money, our Hou Mansion will be completely ruined." Xian Yue hurriedly objected.

"At this time, my aunt's life is still the most important thing."

"But even if you return the goods, the money will not be enough, and Mr. Lin may not be able to get the money. In the end, I'm afraid it will be all in vain."

"Yes, I do!" Lin Zeyuan said immediately.

Seeing Chu Huanyan and the others looking at him, Lin Zeyuan straightened his expression, "It's like this. Yesterday I heard you said that the Hou Mansion was short of money, so I discussed with my mother and begged her to sell the ancestral jade bracelet, which happened to be a thousand taels. I originally planned to send the money to you today to help the Hou Mansion tide over the difficulties, but unexpectedly, my mother suddenly fell ill."

"Zeyuan, I didn't expect you to treat me like this." Chu Huanyan's tone was moved.

Haha, Lin Zeyuan really reacted quickly. It's hard not to admire his ability to make up lies.

"Yan'er, this is what I should do." Lin Zeyuan's face was full of affection.

"It's just that even so, it's still five hundred taels short. I'm afraid it won't be enough even if the goods are returned." Chu Huanyan frowned in embarrassment.

Lin Zeyuan secretly winked at the fake doctor, who immediately said that for the sake of their affection, he could ask for five hundred taels less.

"That's great." Chu Huanyan looked at the fake doctor gratefully, and then said, "Xianyue, go return it quickly."

Xianyue looked reluctant, "Miss, let Mr. Lin take out the one thousand taels first, in case we return the goods and find that he does not have the one thousand taels."

"Are you doubting me?" Lin Zeyuan's face turned cold.

"Presumptuous." Chu Huanyan frowned and reprimanded, "Xianyue, don't be so rude."

Xian Yue lowered her head, "Miss, that is the last hope of our Hou Mansion. I just want to confirm it and don't want to lose so much money in vain."

"This..." Chu Huanyan sighed and turned to look at Lin Zeyuan, "Zeyuan, I'm really sorry. Xianyue has been with me since she was a child. She said this for the good of me and the Hou family. Otherwise, you Give the doctor the thousand taels first so that this girl can rest assured."

Lin Zeyuan was unhappy at the bottom of his heart, but thinking about the contract he signed and the deadline tomorrow, he felt anxious. Without wasting any more time, he quickly brought out a stack of banknotes, which added up to exactly one thousand taels.

"Yan'er, you should believe me now." Lin Zeyuan handed the banknote to the fake doctor.

"Of course I believe you." Chu Huanyan saw the doctor put the banknotes into his sleeves and said to Xianyue again, "That's it, hurry up and return the money."

"Yes." Crescent Moon responded.

But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion outside the hospital.

Immediately afterwards, several people dressed as government officials rushed into the room and grabbed the fake doctor's arm.

"What are you doing?" Lin Zeyuan was shocked.

"This man is a charlatan. He has defrauded a lot of money. We have been tracking him for a long time." The officer said loudly.

The fake doctor panicked and quickly denied, "It's unfair. You arrested the wrong person. I didn't..."

"Stop talking nonsense, we'll find out if you go back to the Yamen for a trial!" With that said, the Yamen officer picked him up and took him away.

"Wait!" Lin Zeyuan hurriedly stopped him.

"Why, you want to prevent the Yamen from handling the case. Are you saying that you are his accomplice?" Lin Zeyuan couldn't help but change his expression after hearing the Yamen servant's question.

"How is that possible?" Lin Zeyuan tried to calm his panic.

"That's right, don't talk nonsense. We didn't expect him to be a liar. We were also deceived by him." Chu Huanyan frowned and said, "No wonder he asked for eight thousand taels with just one mouthful. He turned out to be a liar!"

Lin Zeyuan was worried about being suspected, so he hurriedly clarified, "Yan'er, I don't know at all..."

"Zeyuan, don't worry, I can testify for you that you are the victim, and you were deceived by him just because your aunt was sick and anxious. No matter what this liar says, he will never let him frame you. ." Chu Huanyan said immediately.

After hearing Chu Huanyan's words, Lin Zeyuan's expression softened a little or two. That's right, no matter what the other party confessed, he could bite him to death because he was slandering.

But seeing the government servants leading the people away, Lin Zeyuan hurriedly said, "I still have one thousand taels of silver with him."

"That's evidence of a crime. I'll hand it over to the Yamen for the time being. If it turns out that it has nothing to do with you, I'll go to the Yamen to claim it." The Yamen officer said with a cold face, "By the way, you also have to go to the Yamen to cooperate with the trial."

With that said, another government official stepped forward to catch Lin Zeyuan.

Lin Zeyuan dodged the government officer and immediately asked Chu Huanyan for help, "Yan'er!"

"This official, his mother is currently seriously ill and in a coma. Can you spare some time and not take her away yet?" Chu Huanyan gestured to Yang who was lying on the bed.

Yang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but she was worried that if she woke up at this moment and would be seen through by Chu Huanyan, she could only continue to pretend.

The Yamen servant hesitated for a moment and then said: "Okay, in that case, you don't have to go today, but you have to stay at home for the next few days in case the Yamen summons you for questioning."

"Thank you, sir." Chu Huanyan thanked her hurriedly.

The government officials didn't say anything more, dragged the fake doctor and quickly left the Lin family.

The situation happened so suddenly that when Lin Zeyuan came to his senses, he realized that he didn't even have the thousand taels of silver anymore.

Now the payment Chu Huanyan said was his only hope!

Lin Zeyuan looked at Chu Huanyan hurriedly, "Huanyan, my mother..."

However, before he could continue to lie, there was another movement in the yard, and Yun Chen walked in with a middle-aged man.

"Miss, I heard that Mrs. Lin was ill, so my subordinates took it upon themselves to hire an imperial doctor in the name of the Marquis Mansion."
