The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 356 356. Urgent illness

Zhu Hong didn't get sick just in the past two days. He had been feeling uncomfortable since the night of Zhu Xiaoxian's wedding. He just kept holding on and didn't say anything. It wasn't until he suddenly fainted a few days ago that the Zhu family discovered that he was sick. .

After seeing a doctor, they all said it was caused by anxiety and depression.

After waiting for Zhu Hong to drink the decoction, Zhu Xiaoxian spoke.

"In the past few days, shopkeepers have come to me one after another about the lack of money in their accounts. My son is thinking about borrowing some money from the Chi family and paying it back with double the interest after he has calmed down. What does my father think?"

Zhu Hong did not speak and seemed to be thinking about the credibility of the matter.

"Has your father-in-law said anything these days?"

When Zhu Xiaoxian mentioned the fifth master of the Chi family, he looked quite disgusted.

The separation from him was so clear on the day they got married. The two of them didn't fall out on the spot. They already gave each other face, so when they came back, he went through the motions politely.

Except for his wife and brother-in-law, he now doesn't like anyone in the entire Chi family.

Seeing that Zhu Xiaoxian didn't speak, Zhu Hong also had an idea.

He smiled bitterly and said, "It's true that everyone is pushing against us. How many people want to break up with us these days and cut off contact with us. I don't know whose instructions it is, but they are so unanimous."

"Who else could it be? It must be Liang Quanbin who was behind the instigation. I heard that he has met with many big merchants in Jinling City in the name of the government these days. In addition, the Cao family is his lackey, and they are the matchmakers. Awesome, that’s why it’s like this.”

When Zhu Xiao first mentioned Liang Quanbin, he gritted his teeth with hatred and wished to kill him immediately to relieve the hatred in his heart.

However, Zhu Tu, the second uncle of the Zhu family, and Quan Fu, the eldest son-in-law, are both trapped in prison and have not been released yet, so they cannot act rashly for the time being.

Everything must be discussed after people are released.

Today, the Zhu family's vitality has been severely damaged. Not only have they lost their troops, but they have also lost a lot of money to Liang Quanbin.

We are no longer able to spend extra money to help shopkeepers from outside.

They stood in a large crowd, all hoping that the Zhu family could come up with an explanation. Otherwise, they would ruin their reputation and it would be difficult to build it up again in the future.

Unfortunately, most of the Zhu family's business was managed by his second uncle Zhu Tu. He was in prison now and couldn't make many decisions. Zhu Xiao had to step in to stabilize them first.

"Don't panic, everyone. My father and I are thinking of a solution. We have also made an agreement with the Chi family. If we hold on for a few more days, we will be able to find a solution for everyone!"

When they heard the word Chi family, the shopkeepers felt relieved, thinking that the Zhu family was the in-laws of the Chi family after all, and they would not ignore it.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that it was Chi Zimo, the head of the Chi family, who was plotting against the Zhu family.

In the main courtyard of the Chi family, Chi Zimo was listening to the people below talking about the situation of the Zhu family.

"Nowadays, all the industries that the Zhu family is involved in are being messed up. If the owner wants to take over the Zhu family now, it would be easy."

"Don't panic, we haven't reached the last step yet. Why spend seven points on something that you can obviously win with three points?"

As expected, he is a businessman and his calculations are very accurate.

The last step that Chi Zimo had been talking about came soon.

There was a run on the bank under the name of the Zhu family.

Although this bank is not the main business of the Zhu family, it is after all the largest source of cash circulation. Nowadays, there are three streets lined with people holding banknotes to exchange money.

Don't say that the Zhu family's bank doesn't have that much money to exchange. Even if it does, it can't be exchanged like this, otherwise the bank will be in ruins.

However, how could Chi Zimo give the Zhu family room for maneuver?

That afternoon, when the news reached Zhu Hong's ears that the Zhu family's bank had also been wiped out, he almost met the King of Hell without taking a breath.

At the critical moment, Zhu Xiaoxian fed him the last Zhulong Pill.

The elixir is the elixir. Zhu Hong's breath soon calmed down. After feeling that the breath that had been tight in his chest disappeared, Zhu Hong himself understood that it must be the effect of the Zhulong Pill.

After losing two pills in succession, the Zhu family's heirlooms have all been used up. He was a little lost in thought while holding the pill box, and suddenly remembered that the Min family had sent a thank you gift.

If the Chi family is unwilling to help, it might be feasible to ask the Min family!

So he calmed down and said to his son Zhu Xiaoxian.

"You go and prepare some congratulatory gifts. Prince Ding has come to Min's house to recuperate for many days. We have never visited him. Today is the right day."

After hearing what he said, Zhu Xiaoxian also understood.

"But this elixir was not sent by us on our own initiative. Will the Min family accept this favor?"

"Let's treat a dead horse like a living doctor. Apart from the Min family, who else in Jinling City is willing or capable to help us?"

Zhu Hong sighed, he didn't expect that he would reach this point today.

When the Min family came to ask for medicine in the past, he acted aloof. Now that he had to bow down to others, he really felt ashamed and angry.

But for the Zhu family, let alone begging the Min family, there is no problem even asking him to die immediately.

When the father and son brought congratulatory gifts to Min's house, not only the prince, but also old Mrs. Min was not seen.

The butler said slightly apologetically.

"What a coincidence. The prince has been in better health these days. My great-grandfather made a great wish in front of the Bodhisattva before. If the prince's illness can be cured, he will rebuild his golden body. No, he took the prince there. Yin Guang Temple said he would not come back until half a month later."

The news was like a bolt from the blue, causing the father and son to retreat.

Is God really going to destroy the Zhu family?

Leave no chance to them!

"Butler, can you please do it for us and tell us that it would be a good idea for us to go to Yinguang Temple to visit the prince."

Zhu Hong was really anxious this time. If he had known this, he would have given the elixir to King Ding.

Today, I can let him return the favor. I didn't expect that every step he made was wrong, and every step he made was followed by the same mistake.

What should we do now?

It was useless for the two of them to stay at Min's house, so they sat for a while and left.

On the carriage, Zhu Xiaoxian frowned, "Father, what should we do this time? The bank still owes a lot of people, and now everyone is scolding me that the Zhu family is not trustworthy. They can save money but not take it out. If this credit is ruined, , it will be troublesome to find it back in the future.”

"Go to Chi's house!"

Chi family?

Zhu Xiaoxian didn't understand. They had sent news to the Chi family several times, but it all seemed to be lost in the sea. If they went now, would the result be different?

But Zhu Hong had something else in mind.

When he arrived at Chi's house, Chi Zimo smiled lightly when he heard that Zhu Hong and Zhu Xiaoxian and his son had come to visit in person. After all, he couldn't stop it.

So he was in a good mood and waved to have refreshments prepared to welcome the "distinguished guests".
