So, the next day, Hua Yanxi and Ye Yibai came to collect debts.
The seventh prince now works in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he is still the concubine, that is, his biological mother gave him an errand for the emperor.
The Ministry of Finance is a fat vacancy, known as the emperor's money bag, and his love for him is evident.
When the two arrived at the door of the household department, they were stopped.
The officer at the door looked the two of them up and down: "This is the Ministry of Household Affairs, and it's not something that idlers can come in and out at will. Leave quickly."
Hua Yanxi pointed to Ye Yibai beside her: "If you don't know me, don't you know him too?"
"Yes, yes, don't you know me?" Ye Yibai pointed at the mask on his face.
The man looked at it twice and then said: "Fifth prince?"
"Yes, yes, I am the fifth prince. I am here to collect debt from my seventh brother. Let me in quickly." Ye Yibai shouted loudly.
The man's face changed slightly: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can the Seventh Prince owe you money?"
"We just owe it. Seventh brother took my wife's dowry. We are here to ask for the dowry. If you don't let us in, I will sit here and shout to let everyone know." Ye Yibai said rogue.
"Don't shout, I'm going to report it to the Seventh Prince. Just wait." The man said and ran into the household department.
Ye Yibai gave Hua Yanxi a proud look: "See, I'm very useful, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get in."
Hua Yanxi originally didn't plan to bring him here, but he insisted on following her and said he would take her to the household department. It turned out that this was the method used.
Although a bit rogue, it is very useful.
Soon, the man came out, invited the two of them in, and placed them in a small room.
Soon, Ye Juechen walked in with a dark face: "Isn't the dowry already given to you? Why do you come to me for it?"
The offices of their Household Department are all in one place. People were coming and going just now, and the fool shouted loudly again. Now many officials of the Household Department were secretly discussing about him embezzling his sister-in-law's dowry.
But he still can't refute, which is simply irritating.
"Seventh brother, I haven't paid it all yet. My wife said that there are still a lot of treasures missing. Here is the list." Ye Yibai handed him a piece of paper.
Ye Juechen opened it and glanced at it, vaguely remembering that when he entered the palace yesterday, Hua Yun'er did give him a jade statue in order to please his mother and concubine.
And that purple gold bead, I saw her hanging around her neck when she went out today.
The emotions on Ye Juechen's face changed several times, and finally he could only say: "I will pack up the other things and send them back. As for this jade statue, I will give it to you in cash."
Hua Yanxi nodded: "It's easy to say, after all, we are a family, so naturally we don't speak the same language. Since seventh brother, you like it..."
Hearing this, Ye Juechen thought that Hua Yanxi was so generous that she was going to give it to him, and his expression couldn't help but soften a lot.
However, the next sentence made him suddenly darken his face.
"If so, I'll sell it to you for one hundred thousand taels of silver."
"What? One hundred thousand taels!" Ye Juechen was surprised.
That jade is not a graded jade, so how could it be worth so much?
Even if it's fifty thousand taels, it's because the jade carving is Guanyin.
Hua Yanxi nodded: "Yes, they say gold is valuable and jade is priceless. I can give you a price because we are relatives. If you think it's expensive, that's okay. Just give the jade statue back to me.
It would be nice for me to keep it for myself."
Ye Juechen only felt his scalp tightening.
How could he have the nerve to take back what he had given away?
In his heart, he scolded Hua Yun'er, who was greedy for money.
There is nothing wrong with giving a gift, but this kind of filthy thing.
Even if he could bite him to death now, it would be impossible without this jade statue.
According to the temperament of his mother-in-law, everyone in the palace may have known that his daughter-in-law dutifully gave her a jade statue.
He had no doubt that Hua Yanxi, who dared to hit even the prince, would definitely rush into the palace to identify the jade statue as her dowry.
After weighing the left and right, Ye Juechen said: "Eighty thousand taels, I bought the eighty thousand taels of the jade statue."
Hua Yanxi didn't know the reason, but when she saw that Ye Juechen suddenly counter-offered 80,000 yuan, she started to worry about it.
She originally didn't think that he would buy this jade statue. The hundred thousand yuan was just a random joke of hers. Even if Ye Juechen offered fifty thousand yuan, she would agree.
But seeing him like this, it's obvious that the jade hasn't come back no matter what.
I can't justify it without killing him.
Hua Yanxi shook her head very calmly: "One hundred thousand, even one tael less will not do. Business cannot be done with justice. If seventh brother can't give me the money, just return the jade statue to me. If I save enough money to buy it in the future,
Fifth sister-in-law will also give you her love."
As he spoke, he said earnestly: "Don't worry, since I promised you, even if someone else offers you 200,000 or 500,000 yuan, I won't sell it to him."
Ye Juechen can be considered well-educated, otherwise he would definitely be scolded in this meeting.
Who would be so heartless as to spend so much money on a piece of broken rock!
These words make it clear that I want to kill him, kill him ruthlessly, and kill him only!
Ye Juechen took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "Deal."
Hua Yanxi clapped her hands gently and said: "It is said that those who love jade will spend a lot of money and money to get jade. I didn't expect that the seventh brother is such a generous person. The fifth sister-in-law really admires him."
"Stop talking nonsense, you can go now." Ye Juechen said impatiently.
"Wait a minute." Hua Yanxi said with a smile: "Seventh brother, they say that brothers will settle accounts, right? Your character is definitely trustworthy by Fifth Sister-in-law. I'm not worried at all that you will do it in a secretive way. It's just, business.
Pay attention to it once and for all.”
One moment it was said that one family does not speak the same language as the other two families, and the next moment it was said that the brothers were settling the scores, and she sang the song all by herself.
How could there be such a shameless woman in this world?
Ye Juechen was already a little glad that he didn't marry her.
"Just be direct about what you want to say."
"Seventh brother is really quick to talk, so I won't beat around the bush. This transaction has been completed with money and goods, but the things have arrived at your house, but the money has not been seen. Why don't seventh brother write me a note and I will do it?"
I have a good basis." Hua Yanxi raised her eyebrows.
Ye Juechen felt his veins bulging: "It only takes three taels for the Japanese prince to give you the silver, but it's only one hundred thousand taels."
"How about three or two more days? My jade statue must have stayed at your house for at least five days."
The expression on his face just didn't say I'm afraid you'll default on your debt.
Ye Juechen didn't want to say anything more to him, so he turned around, found pen and paper from the room and started writing.
Hua Yanxi did not forget to remind her: "Seventh brother, don't forget to write the repayment date on it. I have a bad memory and I'm afraid I'll forget it. If I don't remember it after a while, I can ask my seventh brother for help."
.”
Ye Juechen endured it again and again, and finally restrained himself from hitting her face with the pen. After writing, he said outside: "Send off guests!"
Hua Yanxi took a cursory glance and folded the paper when she saw that the repayment date was two days later: "Seventh brother is so anxious to send us away? We also said that we would visit your place to see what the house looks like."
"This is the Ministry of Household Affairs, a solemn place. You can't just walk around. If you just go out and turn left, there are many places for you to browse." Ye Juechen's patience had reached its limit, so he left first.
Hua Yanxi looked at Ye Yibai: "Your seventh brother is really stingy. He seems to wave his sleeves and leave every time. Don't imitate him in this habit of leaving when you are unhappy."
Ye Yibai just laughed beside him. There were only a few people in the world who could be treated like this by her and not get angry.
