After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

"Silly boy, there's no need to thank me between you and me. If you have anything to say, just tell your mother directly."

Seeing his mother in such a state, still caring so much about this useless son, Tong Wenjie still found it difficult to say what he was about to say.

Tong Wenjie rubbed his hands nervously and awkwardly, and opened and closed his mouth...

No, he had to use his mother's dowry to fill the hole. Tong Wenjie, who was not so shameless, still felt that he couldn't say it out loud.

Du Sanniang, who knew her son well, saw Tong Wenjie's dilemma.

"You have no money?

Or were you bullied in the academy?

Or have you gotten into some trouble?"

Du Sanniang's proactive questioning actually made Tong Wenjie feel relieved. At least it was not so difficult for her to speak.

"Mom, don't think too much. I don't have anything to do outside. I just want to borrow some money from you."

“What’s the big deal to me?

Why don’t I have enough money to spend?

It doesn’t matter. The money that should be given to my son has already been prepared by me as a mother.

Ever since that vixen Li Yue'er came to our house, all the rules in the mansion have been messed up. I'm afraid that if I keep the money in the mansion, sooner or later it will be thrown into a bottomless pit, without even a splash.

I have already deposited the money I gave you in Tencent. How much money do you want?

I'll ask Madam Sun to go to Tencent with you."

Thinking about my son, he just wanted some pocket money. Now that the child has grown up, naturally there are more places to spend money. The little money from the public levy in the mansion is not enough. It is normal for the child to be short of money.

"20 million taels..."

Tong Wenjie raised two fingers tremblingly and gestured.

"How many?

How many did you say?

20 taels of silver, my son, have you committed murder or arson outside?

Or did someone trick you into gambling?

Otherwise, how could so much money be spent? "

Du Sanniang, who originally thought that she would only need to spend a few hundred taels of silver, was stunned by the 20 yuan that her son Tong Wenjie asked for.

"Mom, you misunderstood. Your son's money can still be used.

The problem now is at home.

I heard in the academy that the Yellow River burst its banks, flooding the country. The national treasury was empty and there was almost no money available for disaster relief. The Emperor wanted to recover the money owed by court ministers and princes and nobles to the national treasury over the years.

The Emperor asked the Minister of Revenue Li Lianggong and the Minister of the Supreme Court Meng Qisui to be in charge of this matter, which caused quite a stir.

Two days ago, the Minister of Revenue Li Lianggong and the Minister of Dali Temple Meng Qisui in Yuanjing City sent people to carry a big gong with great fanfare. They wore big green flowers and beat the gongs and drums all the way and went to the front door of each household to post notices demanding payment of overdue debts.

The first place they posted a notice demanding payment of overdue debts was the residence of Duke Yue.

This matter caused a lot of discussion among the people of Yuanjing City. Everyone was saying that the people in Yueguo Mansion deserved it, as they actually owed the national treasury 20 taels of silver and refused to pay it back.

These past few days, even when my son was at school, he was treated like a monkey, and some of his classmates even tried to make trouble for him.

Now it is imperative to repay the money, but the mansion cannot come up with so much silver at once.

I know that this matter has indeed put my mother in a difficult position, but things have their priorities. If it is not handled properly, it will not only affect the reputation of our Yueguo Mansion, but I am afraid it will not pass the test of the Emperor.

This matter really can’t be delayed any longer, mother, you see…”
