Chapter 277 - Debt Collection

Xie Niushan sped up, worried that if he was a step too late, Ms. Lu would run away or die. He was panicking so much that he was sweating.
It did not take long for him to get there.
The steward knew where Ms. Lu was living, so Xie Niushan arrived directly at that moment. The sky was already dark, but he kicked the door open.
The mother and daughter were shocked.
"Ms. Lu, get out here!" Xie Niushan shouted, as if a meteor had descended.
Ms. Lu's heart skipped a beat. When she dragged her cloak out, she looked at Xie Niushan with a hint of resentment and fear.
"Master..." Ms. Lu called out in a very low voice.
"You've given away all the things in my metal box, haven't you?! Who did you give them to? Write it down for me. If there's one less thing, don't blame me if my saber hurts you!" Xie Niushan said angrily.
Why did he get a wife?
If he had known that marrying such a wife would cost him his family heirloom, he would have preferred to be a eunuch in the palace!
This vicious woman was too much!
How many years had they been married?
When he mentioned the box, Ms. Lu frowned suspiciously, "I did give them away. Isn't gift-giving normal between families? I thought it would cost a lot of money if we had to buy the gifts. Since we already have ready-made ones at home..."
"Ready-made gifts?! Are you dumb?! If they were cheap stuff, would I put them in the box?!" Xie Niushan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
When Ms. Lu saw Xie Niushan like that, she was really scared.
Were those things especially valuable?
She thought that if they were placed in the armory, they should not be particularly valuable. The price would be about the same as the jade bangle!
Excluding the golden eagle, which seemed to carry a lot of weight, she had sent it to the Meng family. The Meng family was a new aristocrat, a relative of the royal family. Furthermore, she had heard from others that the Fourth Prince might become the Emperor. The Meng family was the external family of the Fourth Prince…
Ms. Lu seemed to be quite wronged and helpless.
Xie Niushan slapped a piece of paper in front of her, "Write! Who did you send them to? Write it clearly!"
Ms. Lu's entire body trembled and her eyes turned red.
Pei Wanyue was also hiding at the door of the back room, not daring to come over.
Ms. Lu's heart was in a mess, but under Xie Niushan's gaze, she had no choice but to write.
She still remembered what was inside. After all, the things inside looked different from the normal decorations.
Moreover, the Xie family did not give away gifts to many other families…
She wrote with a trembling hand.
After a while, she finally finished writing.
She did not know what the names of the items were, so she could only use words to describe them.
Xie Niushan looked like he was having a hard time, but knowing who had them was enough.
After finishing the task, it was already late. Although Xie Niushan could not wait to get his things back, he could only endure it and go home to sleep.
Early the next morning, Xie Niushan did not even go to the barracks. He went to the old lady's place first.
There was a reason why he went to his brothers' place first.
His family was short of money at the moment, so he had to get his things back quickly.
Ms. Lu was a little far away, and it would take a while to send a message, so it was a little too late.
Also, there were things at the Meng family and a few of his colleagues. They were not as close, so it would be easier to take the items back from his brothers. Moreover, his brothers had several treasures with them.
Xie Niushan knocked on the door early in the morning. The old lady happily invited him in.
The Xie brothers had not left the house yet. They also felt that it was strange for him to come, so they naturally treated him well.
"Second Brother, I heard from the people out there that you and Sister-in-law have split up. Sigh, Ms. Lu was actually quite good. I don't know why you guys have reached such a stage. Listen to what Eldest Brother says. You should treat her well since you married her. You can't just let the children have their way, don't you think so?" Xie Mangshan said.
