Mrs. Wang was also angry and slapped him in the face: "Money, money, money, haven't you taken all the money away? If you still pay a hundred taels, everyone will starve to death and freeze to death here."
Shen Zuorong looked rogue: "Then let's freeze to death together. Anyway, if I don't win back the tens of thousands of taels I lost before, I don't want to live anymore.'
"Mom, brother, I'm afraid I can't change my gambling addiction, so why don't I chop off his fingers." Shen Yunlai looked fierce, and it really didn't look like he was joking.
Yufen also said angrily, "His legs were also broken to see if he can still run out."
Mrs. Wang's triangular eyes narrowed, "It hurts when you chop your fingers. If you break your legs, you have to spend money to treat them~~ You can just beat them to death."
Shen Zuorong was frightened, "No, no, no, don't do anything, I said, I said!"
After being frightened by Mrs. Wang and the others, Shen Zuorong told him that Shen Weiwei still owed him fifteen thousand taels of silver, but he left in a hurry last time and did not tell Shen Weiwei where to send the money.
After hearing what Shen Zuorong said, everyone felt quite depressed.
They didn't have a penny on them, and they were all hungry. If they were in the countryside, they could ask their neighbors to borrow some rice, but in the capital, where they were unfamiliar with the place, they would starve to death and no one would take notice.
Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes and said, "Why don't you borrow money from Shen Yue? She was raised by me." She was just enjoying the fun, but she didn't see Shen Yue and Shen Xingwang watching nearby.
Shen Yunlai: "Mom, the county magistrate signed a deed when he let us out. If we dare to mess around in the capital, he will arrest us.'
"Then, what should we do? We can't all starve to death here, right?'
"Why don't you try going to Tianxia Trading Company?" Yufen picked at the big mole on the corner of her mouth, "Didn't Shen Xingwang go to Beijing? He must be working in Tianxia Trading Company. He is kind-hearted and asked him to borrow a hundred taels. It shouldn’t be a problem.”
"Yes, yes, yes, ask him to borrow it, he will definitely borrow it." Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up, and she sent Shen Yunlai to Tianxia Trading Company.
But when he arrived at the Tianxia Trading Company, he asked, but Shen Xingwang was not there. No one knew where he lived. Shen Yunlai was so hungry that he had to ask friends to come to the restaurant to beg for some food, and took two bites for each of them.
The family was sitting there not knowing what to do when they heard a familiar voice. "Excuse me, does Shen Zuorong live here?"
"Yingying?" Daohua and Shen Yunlai stood up in confusion.
Mrs. Wang, Yu Fen, and Shen Zuorong were all overjoyed. Shen Yingying was working as a maid next to Shen Weiwei. Since she could find it here, it could only mean one thing, she had sent money!
"Hey, Yufen~~" Seeing everyone walking out of the house, Shen Zuorong hurriedly called to Yufen, "Let me go quickly, otherwise all the money our daughter gave will go to Shen Yunlai."
Yufen knew the gambler quite well and spat: "You still want to take this money? Give up this idea." The gambler saw how crazy the money was. She had seen it too much with her father. Shen Zuorong coaxed her. Can't stop her.
Outside the house, Shen Yingying and Shen Xiaoli walked in carrying their bundles.
With money in hand, Shen Weiwei planned to give away the remaining fifteen thousand taels of silver. However, Shen Yingying and Shen Xiaoli refused to stay in the East Palace any longer, so Shen Weiwei found a way to send them out of the palace. .
After leaving the palace, I found out about Shen Zuorong's whereabouts from Mrs. Qian and found this place.
Seeing Mrs. Wang, Shen Yunlai, Daohua and others coming out to greet them, Shen Yingying and Shen Xiaoli rushed forward crying.
After crying for a while, he went into the room and sat down to talk.
Shen Yingying looked at the dilapidated house with air leakage everywhere, and wondered: "Why do you live in this dilapidated place? Didn't I still live in a big house last time when I left the palace?" When she said this, there was an unknown premonition in her heart. Could it be that he Dad was defrauded of all his money by that woman named Du Juan?
Everyone was gloomy and silent.
After a long while, Yufen whispered: "Your father used all that money to gamble away."
"What?" Shen Yingying's face turned green with anger, "A total of thirty-five thousand taels of silver, all of which was gambled away by my father?"
Daohua hummed in a low voice, "Isn't that right? Even the few hundred taels we brought to Beijing were stolen by him and lost."
"I don't think I've lost enough. I'm looking for money everywhere to gamble." Shen Yunlai answered angrily.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zuorong's roar came from the next room, "Shen Yingying, are you here to give money? Hurry up and give the money to your father, otherwise I will go to the palace gate and beat the gongs and drums, saying that Shen Weiwei is a fake. Let's break this story about the princess and let's finish the game together.'
Shen Yingying was so angry that she was shaking all over. She thought that with 50,000 taels of silver, she could buy a yard and a shop, and live a wealthy life as a young lady, but she never thought that her father would lose everything.
Now I only have 15,000 taels in hand, how can I get enough? If I had known earlier, I would have stayed in the palace and asked Shen Weiwei if she wanted more money.
Seeing that Shen Zuorong kept yelling, Shen Yunlai said angrily: "Yufen, why don't you stop that gambler's mouth? It's all over if you let others listen."
"Oh, I got it." Yufen's expression changed, she quickly pulled off a rag and went to the next room.
It was finally quiet and I could talk properly.
"Yingying, Xiaoli, why are you two out of the palace?" Mrs. Wang looked at them strangely, "It's not like Weiwei is so filial and knew we were in Beijing, so she sent you out to visit us, right?"
"Filial piety? Do you still expect her to have filial piety? She is so focused on her own glory and wealth that she has forgotten about you." Shen Yingying rolled her eyes to the sky.
Shen Xiaoli answered from the side: "We have come out of the palace, there is no need to enter the palace again."
"Why do you want to come out? Is there something wrong in the palace?" Mrs. Wang looked puzzled.
"Mom, do you really think the palace is so quiet? Look at our hands?" Shen Yingying said angrily, pulling Shen Xiaoli's hand out.
Ever since Charlotte transferred them away from Shen Weiwei, they were sent to the Clothing Bureau, where they had to wash their clothes in cold water every day in the winter, and their hands were covered with chilblains and pus leaked.
Shen Yingying said aggrievedly: "Do you think we are masters like Shen Weiwei? We are slaves in the palace. Who will treat you as a human being? If you are not careful, you will be beaten and scolded. I have never been so old. Such a sin." After saying that, he wiped away tears.
"I feel so sorry for you, my daughter, you have suffered so much." Yufen pulled Shen Yingying into her arms and started crying together.
After crying, she took over the box that Shen Yingying had hidden under her cloak, and said to Mrs. Wang and Shen Yunlai, "Mom, Yongming Daohua, my two daughters are working as cows and horses in the palace, so we must share more of the money. Bar?'
After hearing this, Shen Yunlai immediately became furious, rushed over and grabbed the box.
"That die-hard gambler of yours has lost more than 30,000 taels, and he still wants to split the rest of his money? Thank you for your ability to say so."
Yufen refused, "The money belongs to my daughter. I can give it to you as much as I want. Give me the box!" She said and rushed forward to grab it, twisting into a ball.
