Chapter 88 was all written by Jiang Yuyue.
Could all of this be her doing?!
Jixiang hurriedly went inside and reported to Xie Jinglan, "Your Highness, Xie Jinbo lost all the Xie family's land deeds at the casino last night, and his legs were cut off and he was thrown back here. Now the people from Wansheng Casino have come to take back the house!"
He sat upright at the front of the desk, motionless, his expression showing little change, as if he had expected this.
Jixiang then tentatively asked, "Your Highness, could all of this be the work of that person?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Jinglan gripped his pen and put it down, glancing at him with a question instead of answering.
"What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiang was taken aback. Although she had learned a lot about Jiang Yuyue's personality before, she never expected that a woman could do such a thing. She had turned the Xie family upside down without anyone noticing, and yet she didn't leave a trace of her true intentions!
If they hadn't been secretly watching, who would have known that she was behind all of this?!
Meanwhile, the farce at the Xie family mansion's gate continued.
"Do you think I'm dead?!"
Seeing the Xie family in complete disarray, with no one paying any attention to him, Wang Er threatened again, "Hurry up and pack your things and get out of here! I won't repeat myself, my men are all roughnecks, they don't know their own strength. If you insist on waiting for us to kick you out, I won't be responsible if any of you get hurt!"
Xie Longqing watched as the old lady was carried inside. The couple from the second branch of the family were also stunned and stood there dumbfounded. When they thought that the Xie family could not even protect their ancestral home and that they had made such a fuss, they realized that he could probably forget about his official position and that he would never be able to return to the capital in this lifetime!
Unexpectedly, after a lifetime of hard work, Xie Longqing ended up like this. Overwhelmed with anger and grief, he felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"master!"
Madam Xie hurriedly stepped forward to support Xie Longqing, who was staggering. She had been gloating over Xie Jinbo's misfortune, but she never expected that they would be dragged down by this scourge!
"Master... what should we do now?!"
Madam Xie was so frightened that her voice trembled as she spoke, "The land deed he has is real... We're not really going to be kicked out, are we...?!"
Xie Yuan was so frightened by the scene that she burst into tears. She thought that the Xie family's previous decline was the worst situation, but she never expected that they would be kicked out of the house!
Seeing the Xie family members crying and shouting one by one, Wang Er lost his patience and immediately gestured to the burly man next to him.
"Get them all out!"
The burly man accepted the order and immediately made a move to attack when a cold shout rang out.
"stop!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jiang Yuyue walking out with her maid, Xiao Liu.
When Madam Xie saw that it was her, hope appeared in her eyes.
He rushed forward and grabbed Jiang Yuyue's hand, pleading, "Yuyue! You've finally come! The casino people are going to take our house away, please think of something!"
Seeing the First Madam's humble and pleading appearance, Jiang Yuyue subtly withdrew her hand.
She glanced around at everyone present, then clutched her handkerchief, covering her face in surprise and fear.
"Mother, how did it come to this?"
Madam Xie shuddered, despair spreading across her face. "Isn't this all because of that spendthrift son of the second branch... causing those vulgar and lowly people to come knocking on our door? Yue'er, now it's up to you to lead the Xie family out of this misery..."
As she spoke, she almost lost her balance, and tears streamed down her face.
Jiang Yuyue covered her lips, but in reality, she couldn't suppress the urge to smile.
Seeing that everyone in the Xie family was placing their hopes on her, she had no choice but to live up to their expectations and grit her teeth and persevere, pretending to be helpless.
"Don't worry, Mother, I'll handle this."
After saying this, Jiang Yuyue slowly walked up to Wang Er. She seemed to hesitate for a long time before making up her mind. She then ordered Xiao Liu to take out a purse and hand it to Wang Er.
“Hero, our Xie family will not renege on our debts, but this news came suddenly today. Even if we wanted to move, it would take us some time. Moreover, our Xie family is a large family, and we need to find a place to live. Please be lenient, sir. Please take this money and have some wine with your brothers. We will definitely move tomorrow.”
She lowered her voice, speaking softly and gently, making people reluctant to make things difficult for her.
Wang Er weighed the purse in his hand, glanced at her a few times, and occasionally a hint of sympathy appeared on his fierce face.
Then I remembered that she was the sister-in-law who had paid off four thousand taels of gambling debts for Xie Erlang. She was the only sensible one, and she still had to support this useless family.
"Alright, for the sake of the young mistress, I'll bring my brothers again tomorrow."
Wang Er finally relented, then glared fiercely at the Xie family members, "But if you're still lingering tomorrow, don't blame me for being impolite!"
After saying this, Wang Er turned and left with his men, while Madam Xie became anxious after hearing what Jiang Yuyue had just said.
I thought Jiang Yuyue came out to settle accounts and buy the house back, but she actually promised those thugs that they would move out tomorrow!?
"Move away!?"
Madam Xie's face flushed with anxiety. "You actually compromised with them? And in just one day, where do you expect us to move to?! If they come again tomorrow, aren't you trying to kill our whole family?!"
Not only Madam Xie, but everyone else also looked on in disbelief.
It was as if Jiang Yuyue was the culprit who had caused them to end up like this.
A hint of mockery flashed in Jiang Yuyue's eyes. Just now, she didn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of Wang Er, but now she had the guts to yell at her?
"Hasn't Mother foreseen Erlang's fate?"
Jiang Yuyue held the handkerchief tightly and sighed repeatedly, "Erlang had his legs cut off because he didn't pay his gambling debts. As the saying goes, it's only right to pay back debts. Does Mother want to have her hands and feet cut off like Erlang?"
"Besides, the land deed is in their hands now, and this house is the territory of Wansheng Casino. If we occupy their land and refuse to leave, it would be wrong of us even if we were to file a complaint with Kaifeng Prefecture. Or does Mother have any better idea than my method?"
The First Madam was speechless after hearing this, and was about to compose herself to refute it again, while Xie Longqing's face turned extremely ugly as he watched the crowd of onlookers gather outside.
"Let's go inside and talk!"
Xie Longqing gritted his teeth and hissed, "Making such a racket outside, do you think our family isn't a laughing stock enough already?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly retreated into the mansion, and the servants quickly closed the gates. However, the discussions among the people outside did not cease.
"So what should we do now?!"
Madam Xie was still in a panic and completely lost. She looked around and realized that only Jiang Yuyue could make decisions now, since they were all broke and Jiang Yuyue might have some savings.
"Good moon".
Thinking of all this, Madam Xie changed her expression again, "Our family is in trouble now, you have to think of a way! Even if not for us, you... you have to think about Yunqi's child in your belly!"
"That's natural."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Jiang Yuyue agreed, but still looked troubled. "Let's wait for the doctor to see Grandmother's condition first, and then make a plan after Grandmother wakes up."
Although everyone was anxious, they could only do as instructed. Only after the doctor entered the mansion and administered acupuncture to the unconscious Madam Xie did she suddenly wake up.
"A house...a house!"
Seeing that Madam Xie had woken up, the Xie family members rushed over to her. Madam Xie, with tears in her eyes, kept calling out for Jiang Yuyue.
"Moon! Where is the moon!?"
