On one of them, it was clearly written that Lin Zeyuan owed Fujinlou two thousand taels of silver because he violated the contract, and he was suspected of evading the debt and was nowhere to be seen. If anyone can provide clues, Fujin Tower will definitely thank you.

The one next to it contained a copy of the contract.

Lin Zeyuan was stunned on the spot, never expecting that Fujinlou would post a demand letter to his door.

Yang also saw the content clearly, and his expression was extremely ugly, and then he suddenly thought of it.

"Yuan'er, has Chu Huanyan seen this?"

Hearing this sentence, Lin Zeyuan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He pulled off the paper on the door and looked behind him hurriedly.

Pedestrians were coming and going on the street next to it, and the demand letter was posted directly on the door. Curious people passing by would come and take a look.

If it reaches Chu Huanyan’s ears...

Lin Zeyuan hurriedly tore up the paper in his hand, "I'll go to the Hou Mansion to investigate the situation!"

Now Chu Huanyan is his only hope, not only the two thousand taels of silver, but also the matter of entering the court. If there is a falling out...

Lin Zeyuan didn't dare to think about it any more, left Yang behind and rushed to the Hou Mansion in a hurry.

However, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, he was stopped.

"Mr. Lin, the eldest lady has confessed that she doesn't want to see you."

"Have you ever said why?" Lin Zeyuan was startled and asked quickly.

Seeing the boy guarding the door shaking his head, Lin Zeyuan held the last bit of luck in his heart.

"You send a message for me, just say that no matter what, I hope Yan'er can see me."

Maybe Chu Huanyan still doesn't know that the reason why she doesn't see her is just because she asked for money on the street before!

The young man was unmoved, "Mr. Lin, please don't embarrass us. The eldest lady has spoken and will definitely not see you."

Lin Zeyuan frowned and was about to speak, but at this moment, Xian Yue walked out of the house.

As if seeing a life-saving straw, Lin Zeyuan stopped Xian Yue at once.

"Xianyue, why did your lady suddenly not see me?"

Xian Yue looked at Lin Zeyuan and snorted coldly, "Master Lin, why do you ask questions when you know everything?"

Lin Zeyuan's face turned pale and he said tentatively: "Is it possible that she is still angry about my mother's behavior before? She was also temporarily..."

"Master Lin!" Xian Yue interrupted Lin Zeyuan, "All the debt recovery letters from the brothel have been sent to the Hou Mansion."

In an instant, the last trace of luck in Lin Zeyuan's heart was completely shattered, so Chu Huanyan really knew!

He looked at Xian Yue stiffly, "Your young lady..."

"Miss has been sick from anger. I need to get medicine now. As long as Mr. Lin still has any conscience at all, don't stop me and waste time." Xian Yue said impatiently.

"There is a misunderstanding about this matter. I was deceived and confused for a moment. Please let me see the happy face. I will explain it to her personally. I..."

"Mr. Lin, instead of lingering here, it would be better to pay back the money you owe as soon as possible to avoid causing more trouble and losing face."

Xianyue paused and looked at Lin Zeyuan with a half-smile.

"Or are you saying that Mr. Lin still expects Miss to pay off your debts?"

Lin Zeyuan frowned, "I didn't mean that..."

"It's not the best. Instead of being entangled here, Mr. Lin, it would be better to ask the brothel girl you are in love with and see if she can fill this hole for you."

After saying that, Xian Yue snorted coldly and walked away around Lin Ze.

Before leaving, I didn't forget to tell the boys guarding the door not to disturb the lady with any messages.

Lin Zeyuan stood at the door of the Hou Mansion with a pale face. After a while, seeing that there was no possibility of entering, he could only grit his teeth and leave quickly.

When Lin Zeyuan left, Chu Huanyan and Yun Chen appeared at the door of the Hou Mansion.

Xian Yue, who was just talking about going to buy medicine, also walked out of the corner and returned to Chu Huanyan's side.

"Miss, are the words you asked me to say just now really useful?"

Didn't Lin Zeyuan have a deep affection for that brothel woman? Would he really go to her to ask for money to repair the hole?

"We'll see if it's useful or not." Chu Huanyan turned to look at Yun Chen.

The briber encouraged the mother in charge of Fujin Tower to post the demand letter, but it took her a lot of effort. Even if she couldn't see the next good show with her own eyes, she couldn't just miss it.

Yun Chen understood, nodded towards Chu Huanyan, and quickly left the house to follow.

Chu Huanyan raised her head and looked at the sunlight covered by clouds, slightly curling her lips.

In her last life, she thought Yue Yiyi and Lin Zeyuan met in a brothel.

It wasn't until she received the investigation news last night that she knew that they had known each other a few years ago when Lin Zeyuan returned to his hometown of Yueyang.

At that time, Yue Yiyi was still the daughter of an official, but later, because of her father's embezzlement, perversion of the law, and disregard of human life, she was implicated and exiled.

After the Yue family was convicted, Lin Zeyuan had no news about Yue Yiyi. It was not until shortly after arriving in the imperial city that he met Yue Yiyi again by chance.

For Lin Zeyuan, he probably felt that God was merciful and allowed them to meet again.

But according to the information found, Yue Yiyi was actually rescued as early as Yueyang, left the romantic place, and lived in seclusion in a village in the countryside of Yueyang.

But not long after, Yue Yiyi couldn't stand the poor life in the countryside and came to the imperial city. More than a year ago, she even took the initiative to enter the current Fujin Tower.

Now, although she had no worries about eating and drinking, and there was no shortage of guests, she did not find the opportunity to fly to the branches and live a life of glory and wealth. Therefore, compared to cherishing past feelings, Lin Zeyuan is probably more like a springboard for Yue Yiyi.

She wanted to see if Yue Yiyi could still be stronger in love than gold if she found that the springboard under her feet was not strong.

……

In the Fujin Tower.

When she heard Lin Zeyuan say that she hoped to lend him two thousand taels of silver, Yue Yiyi almost couldn't keep the tenderness on her face.

"Brother Yuan..." She frowned and looked at Lin Zeyuan with embarrassment and grievance.

Normally, seeing Yue Yiyi like this, Lin Zeyuan would have been heartbroken and would never embarrass her again.

But now, with no other way out, Lin Zeyuan frowned deeper than Yue Yiyi.

"Yiyi, I really have no choice. Now the thugs in the building are guarding outside. I have tried my best to see you. If I can't hand over two thousand taels today, I'm afraid..."

"Brother Yuan, can't you think of another solution at the Ning'an Marquis Mansion?"

Lin Zeyuan gritted his teeth and shook his head, "Chu Huanyan already knows about this and will never give me any more money."

There was a dark look in Yue Yiyi's eyes, "If this is the case, wouldn't she not be able to help you return to court?"

Sensing the coldness in Yue Yiyi's tone, Lin Zeyuan was startled, "Yiyi, what are you..."

Yue Yiyi changed her tone instantly, "Brother Yuan, I'm worried about you. After all, we have endured for so long just to allow you to return to the court so that you can make great achievements. If you fall short like this, you will feel so sad." It’s uncomfortable.”

Lin Zeyuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yue Yiyi with increasingly loving eyes.

"Yiyi, I know you are thinking about me wholeheartedly. Don't worry, this matter is not a dead end. I will find a solution in the Hou Mansion."

Lin Zeyuan paused, sneered, and spoke firmly.

"I don't believe that Chu Huanyan can really give up everything, including the face of the Hou Mansion, to break off the engagement with me!"
