"What's the meaning?"

Hearing Su Yuanqing's words, Sheng Hongbo was immediately stunned and asked subconsciously.

"Isn't it five thousand taels?"

Just a few shops and a few pieces of land, how much rent can you get? Five thousand taels is already a lot!

At this moment, Sheng Hongbo had no idea how much money he was about to lose.

Su Yuanqing nodded at Sheng Keqing and reminded lightly: "Uncle, you'd better ask them this question. After all, they have collected the rent over the years, and they know it better than anyone else!"

The words had reached this point, and Sheng Hongbo immediately understood the profound meaning.

His face immediately darkened, and he looked deeply at Liu Rumei and his daughter.

The tone was slightly cold, "Please tell me clearly how much rent you have collected!"

At this time, Liu Rumei and Sheng Keqing knew that the matter could no longer be concealed. After looking at each other, Sheng Keqing explained bravely: "Father, it's about fifty thousand taels of silver."

"What?!"

Sheng Hongbo stood up angrily, his lungs about to explode with anger.

Pointing at Sheng Keqing, he said tremblingly, "Fifty thousand taels!"

"Doesn't that mean that, plus the fifty thousand taels just now, the total is one hundred thousand taels!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Luoan added with a smile: "Father, you made a mistake in your calculation. It was one hundred and seventy-seven thousand eight hundred taels."

Sheng Hongbo: "..."

Sheng Hongbo's face twitched and his expression became even more gloomy.

But due to the presence of so many people, it was hard for him to look down on Sheng Luoan.

He could only vent his anger on Liu Rumei and Sheng Keqing.

He yelled angrily: "How much money have you and your daughter stolen from me over the years? If I hadn't confronted the Su family today, I might not have known that you had taken so much money from the Sheng family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Luoan said with a smile: "Father, you are wrong again. You took so much money from me behind your back. After all, those shops and land deeds were sent by my grandfather and grandmother.

Used by my daughter."

Sheng Hongbo: "..."

Sheng Hongbo was speechless again, his face was completely ashen.

The three brothers Su Yuanqing, on the other hand, suppressed their laughter and pretended to be serious.

"Luo An, this money..."

At this time, Sheng Hongbo's expression was already a little uneasy.

If he really had to give away these one hundred thousand taels, his body would be so painful. It would be like forcibly tearing off a piece of flesh from his body!

Sheng Luoan immediately saw through Sheng Hongbo's little thoughts and interrupted him directly.

"Of course, my father will pay me back every penny of this money. After all, my father made it very clear just now that he will give this money to my aunt and eldest sister. A gentleman's words are hard to recover, so my father won't default on the debt, right?

"

"I...of course I won't default on my debt!"

Sheng Hongbo took a deep breath, and after speaking these words bravely, he glared at Sheng Keqing and Liu Rumei calmly.

"In that case, how will father give me this money? Should he give it to me now, or will he give it to me in installments over time?" Sheng Luoan took the opportunity to ask.

Anyway, no matter what, you must first get these 100,000 taels of silver notes.

Otherwise, the night will be long and full of dreams!

Being questioned repeatedly by Sheng Luoan, Sheng Hongbo's face turned green and white for a while.

If Su Yuanqing and others weren't present, he might have flipped the table over and stormed off.

After calming down, Sheng Hongbo asked tentatively: "One hundred thousand taels of silver notes can't be collected in a short time. How about I pay you part of it in installments according to your instructions, and then I can give you the rest after I collect it later?"

For you?"

"Of course, but in order to prevent the father from cheating, I still think it is necessary for the father to write an IOU. This can be regarded as a guarantee for the daughter."

"Nonsense! What kind of IOU is written by my family? It won't sound good if it gets spread!" Sheng Hongbo's eyelids jumped.

"Father, what you said is wrong. As the saying goes, a married daughter throws away the water. I have already married, and I am no longer a member of the Sheng family. My brothers still have to settle accounts, so father still writes a

An IOU is better."

"Are you... going to force your old father to death?" Sheng Hongbo roared angrily.

Seeing Sheng Hongbo's extremely angry look, Sheng Luoan shrugged his shoulders innocently.

"Father, I don't like to hear what you are saying. My eldest sister collected these things for me, and she secretly collected the rent behind my back. Since the things are lost, it is my eldest sister who should return them, but since my father took them

If you accept this responsibility, it can only be said that it’s my eldest sister who is forcing you, and it has nothing to do with me!”

"Sheng Luoan, you are so arrogant!"

"Do you think that by marrying into a noble family, you can dominate the Sheng family?"

"Let me tell you, if the Sheng family hadn't paved the way, do you think you could be Gong Moye's Marchioness?"

"Sheng Luoan, don't forget your roots!"

Sheng Hongbo accused Sheng Luoan of being ignorant every word.

However, she never thought that Sheng Keqing was solely responsible for the situation reaching this stage.

He just took the money out of his own words.

"Father, you said people shouldn't forget their roots, but don't forget. Without the paving the way for your mother and the Su family, you wouldn't be where you are today. Then can you remember your mother and the Su family? You keep saying people shouldn't forget your roots.

But what did you do? In the past years since my mother passed away, have you ever visited the Su family? "

Sheng Luoan became angrier as he spoke, and his words were filled with contempt for Sheng Hongbo.

"Sheng Luo'an, you, you, you are so presumptuous! Don't forget, I am your father!"

Sheng Hongbo was so angry that his heart beat faster and he wished he could slap Sheng Luoan on the spot.

If it had been before, his slap would have been withdrawn.

But now, due to the presence of the Su family, he could only endure this tone.

"You are my father, so you can't pay back your debts?" Sheng Luoan rolled his eyes.

These words made Sheng Hongbo even more angry.

Just as he was about to speak, Liu Rumei immediately stood up and caressed his chest.

"Master, don't be angry. The second young lady is not sensible. You don't want to be on the same level as her."

At this time, Sheng Keqing stood up and took the opportunity to say: "Yes, father, my sister is still young and not sensible. Father, I don't want to be on the same level as her."

Between what she said, she seemed to be the most sensible person.

Sheng Luoan couldn't listen anymore and rolled her eyes, which made her eyelids sore.

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Who said my wife is ignorant? My wife is gentle, virtuous, and considerate. Why is she not sensible?"
