Zhou Shuyi was shocked when he heard this. How could his father owe the Lin Mansion money?
Lin Xiuyan smiled slightly when she saw his expression: "I know, today is the day of my father's funeral. You just died and you feel very sad. I can understand this."
"So I'm not here to collect debt today, I just want to tell you about this matter."
"After your father is buried, I will come to your house to collect debts. The amount is a bit large, so be prepared when the time comes."
Zhou Shuyi was shocked again, because in his heart, Zhou Lingshan's business was huge.
In addition, there is also the endorsement of Pingnan Prince's Palace, so there is no need to find anyone to borrow money.
He looked at the IOU in Lin Xiuyan's hand and reached out to pull it out.
He was surprised again when he saw the writing on it, because the signature on the top IOU was indeed Zhou Lingshan's note.
And the amount of the IOU was not small, totaling fifty thousand taels of silver.
He scrolled down further and saw that all the words on the IOU were Zhou Lingshan's name, and the contents of the IOU included everything from medicinal materials to furs to shops to money.
He did a rough calculation and found that the items on the IOU totaled millions of taels.
He gritted his teeth and said, "How could my father ask your father to borrow so much money?"
Lin Xiuyan replied: "How would I know this? How about you go down and ask your father?"
Zhou Shuyi: "..."
His eyes turned red instantly, and he looked like he was trying to find Lin Xiuyan desperately.
Lin Xiuyan stretched out her hand to cover her lips, and said with some embarrassment: "Look at my memory, your father is dead."
After she finished speaking, she took all the IOUs out of his hand and said, "Since you know this, I won't bother you here."
"I am a very humane creditor. I will come back to collect the debt in a few days. You first have a good funeral for your father today."
Ye Junfei praised her: "I like your character of repaying evil with kindness."
"With how rude he was before, if it were me, I would have to make him pay back the money today."
The corner of Lin Xiuyan's mouth twitched, he was exaggerating a bit, so he took it back.
She coughed lightly and said, "Who doesn't have troubles? No matter how bad he is, now that my father has just died, I have to give him some time to adapt."
Zhou Shuyi: "..."
This couple is so shameless!
Lin Xiuyan's lips curled up slightly, and without saying much, she held Ye Junfei's hand and said to Zhou Shuyi, "Young Master Zhou, let's see you another day!"
She smiled gently and pleasantly, but it made Zhou Shuyi feel a biting chill.
At this moment, he had a feeling in his heart that he might come to trouble him from time to time in the future.
It's just that he doesn't know how terrifying she is at this moment. At this time, he even thought in frustration:
If she dares to trouble him, he will make her look good!
Most of the people who came to attend the funeral today were close friends of Zhou Lingshan, and some were from the Hu family.
The way Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei acted seemed a bit arrogant, even if there were people there to avenge the injustice of the Zhou family.
Someone stopped them and said, "What the prince and his concubine did after visiting the Zhou Mansion today were too excessive, weren't they?"
"Brother Zhou just passed away. Not only did you come knocking on my door, but you also came to collect debts. This is simply too much bullying!"
Ye Junfei's eyes narrowed slightly, but Lin Xiuyan smiled. She was not afraid of people like this coming to her door to abuse her.
She said quietly: "Don't criticize others without doing their job!"
"How about I call City Lord Zheng over and give you a stick?"
The man's face turned red with anger: "You just don't know what to say! How can you act like a gentleman at all?"
Lin Xiuyan thrust the IOUs in her hand into the man's face: "You are such a gentleman, and you have such a good relationship with the Zhou family."
"How about this? You return the money to the Zhou Mansion. This will not only show your righteousness as a gentleman, but also save me from having to pay for it in the future."
When the man saw that the top note was worth tens of thousands of taels, it was impossible for him to come up with the money to repay the Zhou family's debt.
He said with a dark face: "This is what Zhou Mansion owes you, and it's not what I owe you. Why should I pay it back?"
Lin Xiuyan shrugged and said: "It seems that the so-called gentleman's style in your mouth is nothing more than this!"
The man's face instantly turned purple. He tossed his sleeves and robe and walked aside.
Lin Xiuyan said loudly: "Anyone who thinks that the prince and I came to worship Zhou Lingshan today and notified Zhou Shuyi to repay the debt is not a gentleman, you can stand up."
"I not only want to appreciate your gentlemanly style, but also want to be a gentle and kind creditor."
There were some people around who originally wanted to stand up for the Zhou family, but they all gave up the idea at this time.
Lin Xiuyan's words were really too lethal.
Even if Zhou Lingshan was a very good person when he was alive, no one would dare to take over the Zhou family's debt of millions of taels.
Ye Junfei raised the corners of his lips slightly when he saw this scene. When Lin Xiuyan wanted to find someone to quarrel with, he really didn't see anyone who could quarrel with her.
Most of the people who made friends with Zhou Lingshan were friends because of profit.
Now Zhou Lingshan is dead, and Zhou Shuyi is a waste. Under such circumstances, it will only be a matter of time before the Zhou Mansion is ruined.
A small number of people who came here today wanted to take advantage of the Zhou Mansion before it was completely destroyed and get some benefits from the Zhou Mansion.
Recently, Ye Junfei has obtained four guards from King Pingnan, showing his ability. Except for the people from Princess Pingnan's group, no one wants to offend him.
Ye Junfei could see these things clearly.
He said quietly: "The IOUs and IOUs in Xiuyan's hand are all drawn by Zhou Lingshan himself."
"Zhou Lingshan owes the Lin Mansion so much money, so we can't just pretend that nothing happened."
"We, husband and wife, are not here to collect debts today, but things must be explained clearly."
After he finished speaking, he bowed his hands to everyone, and then left with Lin Xiuyan gracefully and calmly.
Lin Xiuyan felt that he was just putting on a big show, and he could always look so elegant and generous in front of others.
After leaving Zhou Mansion, Ye Junfei asked Lin Xiuyan: "Where did these IOUs come from?"
Lin Xiuyan replied: "Of course Zhou Lingshan owes me to my father!"
Ye Junfei glanced at her, with a faint smile on his lips.
Lin Xiuyan had no choice but to answer honestly: "This was written yesterday Qingwan."
Ye Junfei: "..."
Lin Xiuyan spent the entire day yesterday at Ye Qingwan, and he was so busy that he didn't say anything.
I didn't expect the two of them to come up with such a bunch of stuff.
Lin Xiuyan praised Ye Qingwan: "I really didn't know that Qingwan had this skill before. She imitates people's handwriting exactly the same!"
Ye Junfei glanced at her. From the time they met until now, she had never praised him like this!
