Wen Gui was furious. This matter had been cleared up long ago, so why was it that they were still the ones who had to pay for the damaged cha craft, should it not be Madam Lian who should pay for the damage?
" Master Wen is getting angry for no reason," Gu Lao, the new official in charge smiled at Wen Gui and then calmly said, " Your wife, Madam Mo might already know that she was the one who signed the docunts regarding the cha craft. It does not matter who damaged it, the one who signed the docunt will be the one who has to pay for it, this is the law and we cannot do anything about it."
This was in fact a loop hole and everyone knew about it but so what? Mo Yan was no longer the general and it was Madam Wei who was in charge of the imperial army. What could Mo Yan and Wen Gui do other than listen to the ones who were in power after being reduced to being re commoners?
" You!"
"But of course, if you don't want to pay the money then," Gu Lao with her sly grin added, " You can always send one of your daughters to work as the slave for the imperial family. I will suggest that you send Mo Qiang, she is good for nothing, with no skills and a dormant core, that awakens and collapses at any ti, It is a waste of space to keep her at your house, so why not hand her over to us and shake off the interest that you have collected over your debt?"
Wen Gui stared at the two won who were being shaless in front of him and sneered, " Why don't bury you ten feet under the ground and you say the sa thing all over again a total of a hundred tis, if you succeed then I will think about handing my daughter to you, as an interest?"
Mo Yan on the other hand, calmly pushed Wen Gui behind her and then looked at Gu Lao and her companion. She blinked her blue eyes and asked, " Is this the order of her majesty or soone else?"
" Does it matter?" Gu Lao chuckled softly.
" It does," Mo Yan spoke slowly as she unleashed her aura causing Gu Lao and her companion to stiffen under the heavy pressure that was being placed on their shoulders. It was as if hundreds of tons had been pressed on their shoulders without them getting a chance to breathe. " If it's the order of Her Majesty. Then I will think about it but if it's the order of soone else then I will have to question and investigate why she is suddenly interested in my daughter."
" Ah! What's the matter with this heavy pressure?" Just as Mo Yan was about to crush the two won, a familiar voice rang out in the surroundings causing Mo Yan to pause and retract her aura as she turned to look at Mo Qiang and Mo Xifeng who returned from the laboratory. " You two are back too soon," she remarked. Mo Yan thought that they would stay with Lian Shou for a few hours as Mo Qiang seed like she wanted to say a lot to Lian Shou.
" I am done talking with Miss Lian, after all, she is the one who has to repay the money to our family. How can I let her slack off? Just said a few words," Mo Qiang then turned to look at the two won who were standing in front of her house and then pretended to not recognize them before saying, " Mother who are they? Did I not tell you to hand over our hard-earned money to unnecessary people?"
When Gu Lao heard Mo Qiang's words, the smile on her lips almost faltered before she corrected Mo Qiang, " Miss Qiang is misunderstanding. We are not unrelated people. You might have forgotten it but your mother needs to pay the sum of money for the damaged cha craft as she failed to pay the sum last month she has to pay triple the amount or else you as a worker of the imperial family."
Gu Lao paused and added, " And before you say anything we have the necessary docunts to visit your house." She tapped on her monitor and then showed Mo Qiang the docunt that was necessary to visit a commoner's house by the official without being called trespassers.
" Oh my, it's you… it has been a long ti since I saw soone from the finance departnt that, I did not recognize your uniforms!" Mo Qiang then clapped her hands with a smile and then looked at Gu Lao before saying, " But no one told that they started to give you drugs in your tea. When did it start to happen?"
" Huh?" Gu Lao was expecting Mo Qiang to get angry and start cursing at her like she was told but the woman was smiling and asking stupid questions to them. What was going on?
With a frown, she asked, " Miss Qiang, what is the aning of this? Are you calling us dumb or high? For whatever reason are you disrespecting us?"
" Disrespecting? No, no. You two are intellectuals, how dare I treat you so lightly," with her eyes shining with stars, Mo Qiang praised the two won. With her hands still clasped, she cutely brought them close to her chin and then said, "It's just that I heard your amazing offer just now and could not help myself. I an since when did the Empress, Her Majesty start slavery again? Since she is not soone who will do sothing so tragic, it's either you who has gone insane or soone else gave you orders to do sothing illegal. But…how can officials like you can do sothing illegal?"
She paused and then gasped, " Wait a minute, you are officers right?" As if to confirm, their identities, she snapped their pictures and searched their ID cards right away.
