The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 357 357. Mortgage

At this moment, the Zhu family father and son were fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, so Chi Zimo naturally had to treat them well.

After entering the door, Zhu Hong was too lazy to talk nonsense and said directly, "I used the land deeds of a hundred shops as collateral. Can the owner of the Chi family lend me some money to deal with the emergency?"

"How many?"

"Thirty million taels."

In terms of market conditions, these 100 shops are all in excellent locations. If sold, they would probably be worth fifty million taels.

But today he was asking for help, so he naturally had to lower his profile.

If someone else had agreed, he would have agreed long ago, but this person was Chi Zimo, who could squeeze out every advantage he could get, so he said to Zhu Hong.

"One hundred and fifty, thirty million taels. If the Zhu family owner thinks it's appropriate, he can take the banknote immediately and the interest will be calculated according to your Zhu family bank. How about that?"

Fifty more families were added for no reason, and most of the Zhu family's wealth was taken away by him.

Except for the ancestral home and some unscrupulous businesses outside, the Zhu family has really been wiped clean.

Zhu Xiaoxian gritted his teeth and said.

"You and I are in-laws. Doesn't Master Chi worry about criticism from outsiders when he behaves like this?"

Chi Zimo smiled and said, "If you care about this in-law relationship, do you think you can enter the door of my Chi family today?"

Zhu Xiaoxian was speechless, but what he said was true.

They are now forced into a dead end. Let alone help, it would be good if they can be stepped on less.

"One hundred and fifty houses, one hundred and fifty houses! Send someone back with me to get the land deed."

"Okay! If the Zhu family still doesn't pay the money in three months, then I'm sorry, the shop will belong to my Chi family!"

In March, the time limit was quite relaxed. I thought he would only give a one-month deadline.

So Zhu Hong nodded in agreement, and the two signed a written agreement and invited someone to provide evidence. On that day, the Zhu family handed over the land deeds of one hundred and fifty shops in Jinling City to the Chi family as collateral. Ten million taels of silver notes were also delivered to the Zhu family.

With this money, the Zhu family's current crisis is finally resolved.

When everyone saw the Chi family helping the Zhu family, they didn't want to add insult to injury, so the Zhu family breathed a sigh of relief.

The Cao family was a little dissatisfied at this moment.

"Seeing that the Zhu family was about to end, the Chi family intervened and saved him! Liang Quanbin was also a loser, and he didn't even bring down the Zhu family with such a good handle!"

The head of the Cao family cursed fiercely at home, and Cao Sanlang sitting next to him also looked unhappy.

Originally thinking of killing you while you were sick, they had even thought about how to deal with the Zhu family's business, just waiting for their family to be destroyed.

Unexpectedly, man's calculations were not as good as God's calculations, and he still lost.

Thirty million taels. To be honest, the Chi family's deal was a good deal.

Not only did he save the Zhu family's life, he also earned a lot of interest.

But what he never expected was that what Chi Zimo wanted was not the interest and good reputation, so when they were still unhappy that the Chi family had saved the Zhu family, the "good news" came.

The prison of Fu Cheng was burned down, and no one inside was rescued.

Zhu Tu, Quan Fu, and others related to the Zhu family were all burned clean.

When Zhu Hong knew about this, he couldn't bear it and fainted. When he woke up again, another piece of bad news came.

Because Zhu Xiaoxian was not convinced about being burned in prison, he took people to find Liang Quanbin to argue. Unexpectedly, after the two sides had a conflict, he was shot through by random arrows. When he was carried back, he had more air coming out and less air coming in.

Without even saying a few words, the person was completely gone.

Chi Lingying, a bride who came from the backyard, saw her husband lying on the ground covered in blood. She rushed towards him like crazy and kept wailing.

Unexpectedly, this scene actually angered Zhu Hong. He stepped forward and kicked Chi Lingying away!

He said to her fiercely.

"It's all your fault! From the day you got married, troubles have happened one after another to my Zhu family! Now even Xiaoxian is gone. You broom star, did you deliberately come to harm my Zhu family!"

While scolding him, he went up to him and punched and kicked him, "Since my son is gone, you can go down and serve him! Anyway, you will remarry while you are still alive, and there is no use keeping you in this world!"

After saying that, he became ruthless and stepped forward to pinch Chi Lingying's neck to kill her.

If it hadn't been for the servants who came as dowry from the Chi family to pull Zhu Hong and Chi Lingying away, she might have really gone to see the King of Hell.

"Let go, you despicable bastards, you are all just like this bitch, come to harm my Zhu family! Wait! I want you all to pay for my son's life!"

Scarlet eyes stared at everyone fiercely, and Chi Lingying was so frightened that she could only hide in the nurse's arms and cry!

After a while, there was a pain in my stomach.

"Blood! It's blood!"

Blood stains stained the hem of Chi Lingying's skirt. No one who passed by could tell that she had had a miscarriage.

His face was pale, and he was lying in the nurse's arms, with big beads of sweat streaming down his forehead.

"Get the doctor! Get the doctor!"

The maids stepped forward to help. The quick-footed boy hurried to find the doctor. The wet nurse and several maids took the person back to the backyard on a stretcher.

Looking at the blood stains on the ground, Zhu Hong smiled and looked up to the sky with tears in his eyes.

"Heaven is going to destroy my Zhu family!"

He immediately vomited blood and his face turned ashen.

When the news of Chi Lingying's miscarriage arrived, the servants did not dare to approach.

I was afraid that I would be the next one to be implicated.

"The child is gone, right?" Zhu Hong noticed the hesitant footsteps of the housekeeper, and then said calmly.

"My condolences, sir."

There was nothing else he could say other than this.

Everyone knows why this child is missing.

Zhu Xiao died first, and Chi Lingying was still pregnant. Whether he was a boy or a girl, he finally left a heir for the Zhu family.

However, he failed to control his emotions for a moment, and his only hope was lost.

Looking at his son lying quietly on the ground, Zhu Hong's fists clenched and unclenched.

After half a stick of incense, he said to the housekeeper.

"Tell the Chi family to pick her up. After all, she is also the one that my son cares about. There will be no relationship between husband and wife in this life, and she will not be left here to be a widow."

There was no trace of life in his tone, and it sounded like he was delivering his last words.

At this moment, he didn't have any thoughts about power, wealth, or external possessions. He only stayed quietly beside Zhu Xiaoxian's body and washed him with a clean handkerchief.

Little by little, full of patience.

The housekeeper was moved, but he didn't dare to disturb her.

Having experienced the pain of losing a son in old age, I cannot empathize with it, not to mention that a few hours ago, the second brother and son-in-law were also burned to death.

Funerals were held for a few people quietly, and the Zhu family, which had been so prosperous in the past, became a topic of talk about decline and depression.

At the same time, Liang Quanbin's official reputation has increased!
