After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 504 - 504 Not concerned



504 Not concerned

Xiao Yuanshi hurriedly left and walked toward the gate.

Upon seeing this, Old Lady Xiao also handed the child to the nanny and followed with her two daughters-in-law.

Seeing this, Tao Liu’s lips curved into a sarcastic smile.

She wanted to see how Ge Chunru would respond.

At this moment, a maidservant walked in with a bowl of soup.

“Madam, this is the soup that the kitchen has specially prepared for you. Shall I serve it to you now?” she asked with a smile.

Tao Liu looked her and felt a chill in her heart.

This servant girl had been by her side since she entered the general’s residence.

Her father was seriously ill, and she had paid for his treatment.

However, she didn’t expect that she would be bought over by Ge Chunru in order to build a big house for her family.

If she had not received the news from Xiao Hanzheng’s people, she would not have thought that she was hiding the clothes stained with smallpox in order to harm her child.

The human heart was truly sinister.

She was filled with hatred in her heart, but she didn’t show it on her face.

She waved her hand and said, “I’ll drink it later.

The head maidservant didn’t try to persuade her.

Instead, she looked at the child in the nanny’s arms with a gentle expression.

She walked over to the nanny and said, “Come, let me carry the little master.”

The nanny didn’t think much of it. After all, this maidservant was by her madam’s side and had helped to hold other children a lot recently.

Just as she was about to hand the child over, she heard her madam say, “Give me the baby.”

The nanny immediately turned to the direction of the child. “Yes, Madam.”

The head maidservant was stunned for a moment.

She said anxiously, “Madam, it is better for me to carry.”

Tao Liu squinted her eyes. “No need. I haven’t carried her today.”

Then, she hurriedly took the child from the nanny’s arms and looked at the baby’s peaceful sleeping face before she felt at ease.

Then, she carried the child to the inner room. “I’ll take her to sleep.”

She asked the wet nurse and a maidservant to stay behind, and let the others out.

The head maidservant could only give up and follow the other two out.

As soon as she went out, Tao Liu ordered the maidservant who was still in the room to secretly monitor the head maidservant.

This maid was a gift from Xiao Hanzheng, so she was trustworthy.

She didn’t know why, but she felt that the head maidservant had wanted to do something to her daughter.

Xiao Hanzheng told her that she’d better expose and solve the hidden danger around her as soon as possible, otherwise, her child would fall for it accidentally.

She also thought so.

The maidservant immediately left.

On the other hand.

Xiao Yuanshi heard Ge Chunru’s voice as he walked to the door.

“How dare you! How dare you cut off my brother’s fingers! I’ll make sure you have a horrible death!” Ge Chunru cried.

A burly man from the casino snorted coldly. “The deputy governor’s concubine is really impressive.

It’s only right and proper to repay your debts. Even if you’re a concubine of the deputy governor, you still have to pay it back.”

He snorted. “I only cut off one of your brother’s little fingers. If you don’t pay up, I’ll chop off his entire hand.”

Ge Chunyi covered his fingers and trembled in pain.

He said to Ge Chunru,”Sister, save me, save me!

“I don’t want my hand to be chopped off.”

Previously, he had taken advantage of the fact that his brother-in-law was the deputy governor’s office and did not pay much attention to the money he had lost in the gambling den and the loan payment.

These people had asked for it a few times and even issued a so-called ultimatum, saying that if he didn’t pay up, they would chop off his hand.

He didn’t take it to heart either, as he didn’t think these people would dare to do so.

Thus, when these people came to collect their debts today, he still didn’t pay them.

However, he didn’t expect that these people would actually grab his hand and cut off his little finger.

Only then did he realize that these people were not afraid of his brother-in-law at all.

At the same time, he was scared to death.

He and Mdm Niu had already spent all the money that his sister had given them.

They also owed the gambling den so much money, how could they have the money to pay it back?

That was why he had sent these people to the deputy governor’s office to ask for it from his sister.

Ge Chunru’s heart ached when she saw her brother like this.

“I’m going to report this to the authorities. You’re too much.”

The burly man pursed his lips indifferently. “Up to you. Even if yoy find a magistrate from Northern City, your brother won’t be able to shirk his responsibility.

“Concubine Ge, you just have to say whether you will pay the debt your brother owes.

“If he doesn’t, I’ll bring him back and cut off his hand.”

Upon hearing this, Ge Chunyi said hurriedly, “Sister, help me!”

Ge Chunru’s heart ached for her brother, but she was also disappointed that he had become like this.

However, she felt guilty the most.

She had been grounded for the past few days and was only released after Liu Ru, that slut, had given birth to the little slut.

Because of this, she had not been able to take care of her brother, so she did not know that her brother had actually fallen in love with gambling.

This was a path of no return.

She had once been prepared to set a trap for Eldest Grandson Xiao.

Judging from the burly man’s tough look, he was obviously not afraid of Xiao Yuanshi.

Otherwise, he would not have dared to bring her brother here.

“How much silver do you want?” she asked.

“Thirty thousand taels of silver,” the man replied.

Ge Chunru’s eyes widened. “So much?”

Ge Chunyi was also stunned. “How could it be thirty thousand taels? It’s clearly over ten thousand taels.”

The burly man sneered, “Who doesn’t know the rules of the gambling den? He’ve been delaying his payment. This includes the compound interest.

“It was originally over thirty thousand taels. I even helped you to round it down.”

Ge Chunru’s expression changed. “This is robbery. I’ll ask the deputy governor to arrest all of you and close your gambling den.”

She didn’t have thirty thousand taels on hand at all.

The burly man looked as if he had heard the biggest joke. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiao Yuanshi walking out.

He looked at Xiao Yuanshi. “Deputy Governor, you are so impressive. Your concubine’s brother owes us a debt and hasn’t paid it back. Now, she wants to capture us and close our gambling den.

“Deputy governor, do you think so too?”

Their boss was the young master in Prince Jin’s Residence, so he wasn’t afraid of a deputy governor who didn’t have much power.

Xiao Yuanshi’s expression did not look good.

“This is between you and Ge Chunyi. I won’t interfere.”

He knew that the owner of this gambling house was Prince Jin’s concubine’s son who was valued by Prince Jin.

That was why these people dared to be so arrogant to come to the deputy governor’s office and demand the money back.

It was impossible for him to go against Prince Jin’s residence for the sake of his useless brother-in-law, Ge Chunyi.

Upon hearing this, the burly man smiled in satisfaction. “The deputy governor is still the most reasonable person.”

“Bring Ge Chunyi back to the gambling den and chop off his hands,” he turned around and ordered coldly.

A few thugs immediately went forward and dragged Ge Chunyi and Mdm Niu up.

“No, I’m not going.”

Ge Chunyi kept struggling. “Sister, save me, save me!”

He only knew what fear was now.

He hated Xiao Yuanshi even more. His brother-in-law was too cruel, he didn’t care about his life or death.

How could Ge Chunru let these people take his brother away to chop off his hands?

Thus, she immediately looked at Xiao Yuanshi with teary eyes. “Deputy governor, please save Chunyi.”

Xiao Yuanshi was annoyed when he saw her caring about her brother. “How can I save him? It’s only right to repay the debts.”

He had already spent so much money on Ge Chunru’s brother and sister. He could not afford to fork out another thirty thousand.
