LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 50 Sell the pawn tickets for money
When Yuan Chu heard that Yuan Hongjie suddenly asked her if she had taken something she shouldn't have taken at the palace banquet, she couldn't help but be startled! What did the original owner take? That is a jade pendant and a child in the belly.
"I don't know what Mr. Yuan said!" Yuan Chuyi thought about it briefly and knew why Yuan Hongjie came to the door! Sure enough, he didn't think that his three siblings were having a bad life outside and asked them to come back, but he had other plans!
"You disappeared for a while at the palace banquet. Where were you during that time?"
"Master Yuan should ask your two young ladies. I was their maid at that time, and they were calling me here and there to serve me. How could I remember where and when I went?"
Yuan Hongjie said with a cold face: "That night, a nobleman in the court lost a valuable jade pendant, and said that a woman had taken it. Their family checked all the women who attended the palace banquet that night, and found three For more than a month, everyone except you has asked, but none of them have taken it, so you have to take it! Where is the jade pendant? You'd better hand it over, so that I can take it and return it to them for you! Otherwise, that family Once you come to our door, you will definitely suffer the consequences of imprisonment and physical and mental suffering! No one can help you then!"
Yuan Hongjie thought that Yuan Chuyi still didn’t know who the jade pendant belonged to. Since she was unwilling to return to the Yuan family and could not be used by the family, it would be better to hide it from her and then scare her. As long as she was afraid, she would definitely They will obediently hand over the jade pendant. As long as they get the jade pendant, they can find another way to establish a relationship with Prince An's Mansion!
But Yuan Chuyi was not the original owner, and he would not be frightened by his few words, "Master Yuan, if you really think that I took that nobleman's jade pendant, please provide evidence, otherwise please don't make such nonsense." Catch and bite randomly!”
Hearing Yuan Hongjie mention the jade pendant, Yuan Chu immediately understood why he came from the capital to the southwest to look for him. It turns out that Xiao Jing left the jade pendant to the original owner not as compensation, but as a token! It represents his token, for which he had people look for it for more than three months! But why I can't find it? I'm afraid there are Yuan family members who are causing trouble, or there are some other reasons!
Yuan Hongjie was stunned when he heard Wu Chuyi's rebuttal. Indeed, all this is their speculation, and they have no concrete evidence to prove that it was the first day of the Yuan Dynasty that took Prince An's jade pendant.
But Yuan Chuyi still wanted to know what Yuan Hongjie wanted that jade pendant for, "But speaking of the jade pendant, I actually picked up one that night. I don't know if it was lost by the nobleman Lord Yuan said. of!"
There was unconcealable joy in Yuan Hongjie's eyes: "Where is the jade pendant? Take it out and let me see!"
Yuan Chuyi shrugged helplessly, "What a coincidence. When I was kicked out of the Yuan family, I was penniless, so I had to pawn it for money!"
"Where's the pawn ticket? Give it to me, and I'll redeem it for you and return it to you!" Although Yuan Hongjie wanted to get the jade pendant right away, in order to prevent Yuan Chuyi from seeing that he had other plans, He still suppressed his excitement and asked slowly.
Yuan Chuyi would not hand over the pawn tickets so easily. She showed a look of gratitude at first, and then a look of embarrassment, "Thank you Master Yuan for your help! But, I am no longer the daughter of your Yuan family, so my affairs will not I dare you to help me! If that noble man suspects that I took his jade pendant, please tell him and let him come to me. If the piece of jade pendant I picked up belongs to him, he will kill him or cut him into pieces. I will take the responsibility myself and will never harm your Yuan family!"
Yuan Hongjie showed a charitable smile, "You kid, as you said, I watched you grow up after all. How can I bear to see you go to jail! You give the pawn ticket to your uncle, and he will redeem it for you. , not only will it give you the remaining redemption money, but it will also save you from possible jail time!”
Yuan Chuyi shook his head, is he really as easy to deceive as a three-year-old child? "Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for your kindness! It's just that if I give you the pawn ticket, and you redeem the thing and don't take it to the noble person for confirmation, in the future, If that noble man comes to me, what will I give him? Besides, the man at the pawn shop said that the jade pendant is a top-quality jade, priceless! If such a good jade pendant does not belong to that noble man, you can exchange it for money. If so, wouldn’t I have suffered a big loss! No, no, I can’t give you this pawn ticket no matter what! I will bear all the consequences myself and won’t bother you!”
Yuan Hongjie could not have imagined that the stupid and cowardly person who dared not say a word in front of him in the past could actually speak eloquently and logically, leaving him unable to refute.
"Then why don't you sell the pawn ticket to me!" Yuan Hongjie thinks this is a good idea. As long as he buys the pawn ticket, it is equivalent to buying the jade pendant. In this way, Yuan Chuyi should also be willing to Come on!
Sure enough, Yuan Chuyi was moved, "I wonder how many taels of silver Master Yuan is willing to pay for it? That jade pendant is very valuable!"
Yuan Hongjie thought for a while, stretched out his hand and said, "Five hundred taels, how about it?"
Yuan Chuyi laughed, he really thought she was a three-year-old child. If the jade pendant was worth such a small amount of money, why would he buy it? She couldn't help but shake her head, "One thousand taels! The same price!"
Yuan Hongjie suddenly felt a pain in his body, but when he thought that the jade pendant must be the piece that King An was looking for, he felt that the one thousand taels was not a big problem. He gritted his teeth and said, "Deal!"
"..." Yuan Wenyuan and Yuan Zhongming couldn't help but be stunned. What kind of jade pendant is so valuable? Why did Yuan Hongjie spend so much money to buy it again? Yuan Zhongming tugged on Yuan Hongjie's sleeve, "Brother, you bought it so easily? Don't you think about it anymore?"
Yuan Hongjie nodded decisively, took out the money bag from his arms, took out all the banknotes in it, counted them, and finally added a little bit of broken silver. He finally collected a thousand taels and put it on the table. Reluctantly, he slowly pushed them to where Yuan Chuyi was, "Here's the money! Write me a voluntary contract to buy and sell this pawn ticket, lest you regret it in the future and go to the pawn shop to report the loss!"
"Sir Yuan is such a cheerful person, how dare I, a girl, deceive you like this!" Yuan Chuyi still smiled and asked Yun Xuan to take a pen and ink from the counter, and wrote down the paperwork for the purchase and sale of pawn tickets in front of Yuan Hongjie. .
After Yuan Hongjie got the pawn ticket and checked it was correct, he put it away and looked at Yuan Chu Yi with a sneer on his lips, "Yuan Chu Yi, from now on, we really have nothing to do with each other. Just take care of yourself!"
He felt that without the jade pendant as a token on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, she would never know that the child she was carrying was the son of Prince An, Xiao Jing! Even if she knew it, without the token, how would King An admit it? After all, she had lost the opportunity to rely on the big tree of Prince An's Mansion. She should just stay in the southwest and be a village woman for the rest of her life!
He took one last cold look at Yuan Chuyi and then stood up and walked away.
"Master Yuan, you still have to pay for the tea! One thousand five hundred yuan!" Yuanchu reminded him with a smile as he collected the money and stood up.
