Chapter 193 Door-to-door debt collection
When Shen Jingxuan and the first and third elders arrived at Shen Jiande's yard, the yard was already in chaos.
The maids and servants in the yard held sticks and confronted Li Yong and Yang Rui.
Shen Jiande looked at Old Man Shen angrily, and behind him were Sun and Liu Xue.
Mr. Shen's clothes were disheveled at this time. He pointed at Shen Jiande and said angrily, "You beast, I shouldn't have kept you in the first place. I shouldn't have let you come into this world."
When Shen Jiande heard what Mr. Shen said, his anger grew even greater.
"You deserve it. I didn't ask you to keep me. If you have the guts, just stuff me back and pretend that I never happened."
Shen Jiande didn't know what had happened, nor did he know why Old Man Shen suddenly came to the yard and started beating him up.
Shen Jingxuan stopped Mr. Shen who wanted to come forward, and turned to look at Shen Jiande: "Where is Shen Jingyue?"
She didn't want to care about Shen Jiande, nor did she bother to care whether he cared about his grandfather. After all, his grandfather had cut off ties with him.
Even if something happens to his grandfather in the future, Shen Jiande will not care.
When Sun heard that Shen Jingxuan wanted to find Shen Jingyue, she stepped forward and said, "Shen Jingxuan, we have severed our relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Why are you looking for Yue'er?"
Shen Jingyue went out early this morning and has not returned until now.
"Go ask her something." Shen Jingxuan said truthfully.
Not only did she want to find Shen Jingyue to ask about what happened today, she also wanted to make Shen Jingyue pay the price and make her regret doing such a thing.
Although Shen Jingxuan looked calm, she had already cursed Shen Jingyue countless times in her heart.
Although Shen Jingyue was constantly courting death, she also paid the price every time something went wrong.
But Shen Jingyue and Shen Jinghuan are the same. No matter what kind of punishment they receive, it cannot stop them from seeking death.
Sun disagreed: "She's not here, you can go."
If he wasn't here, then he wasn't here. Shen Jingxuan didn't want to stay any longer: "Grandfather, let's go back first."
"No, I must teach them a lesson today, so they don't think we are easy to bully."
Old Master Shen was so angry that he lost his mind. He only wanted to teach Shen Jiande and Shen Jingyue a lesson so that they would not bother his grandchildren again in the future.
Seeing that Mr. Shen was stubborn and refused to leave, Shen Jingxuan advised, "Grandfather, you didn't tell Grandmother when you left. She was worried about your safety in the mansion."
Shen Jingxuan knew that if she wanted to persuade her grandfather to stay, the most effective way would be to move her grandmother out.
Hearing Shen Jingxuan's words, Mr. Shen's arrogance disappeared by half: "Go back home, so that your grandmother won't worry."
She left as soon as she finished speaking, as if she had forgotten Shen Jingxuan who had just reminded her.
Shen Jingxuan followed reluctantly: "Grandfather, you and the old man go back home, I'll go find Shen Jingyue."
Mr. Shen originally wanted to go with her, but thinking of his wife in the mansion, he had to leave with the Great Elder.
For a moment, only Li Yong, Yang Rui, and the third elder were left by Shen Jingxuan's side.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Jingxuan ordered Li Yong and Yang Rui to go around the streets looking for Shen Jingyue.
If you have any news, go to the Red Flame Temple to find her.
Shen Jingxuan and the three elders came to the Red Flame Temple.
As soon as the two of them entered the hall, the third elder ordered: "Come here, go to the street to look for Shen Jingyue. Don't disturb her. Just come back and report her location."
Shen Jingxuan glanced at him and said, "Old man, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? If you have that time, you might as well let the brothers train more."
Isn't this a waste of talent? How could Shen Jingyue be worthy of letting the people of the Red Flame Temple look for her?
"Xuan'er, these kids are bored because they are idle every day. It would be good to let them move around."
Although the Red Flame Temple does not have the largest number of people, compared to other forces, their numbers are definitely not a minority.
There wasn't much to do in the palace, and the idleness made them feel a little uncomfortable.
"Is there nothing for them to do in the palace?" Shen Jingxuan asked.
If there is nothing to do, can't you find something for them to do?
Do I have to keep supporting them forever?
Thinking of this, Shen Jingxuan felt a little depressed.
Since taking over the Scarlet Flame Temple, she has not only not gained any benefits, but has to make up for the deficit.
Yueyue didn't know how much silver she had to give to the temple to maintain such a large Red Flame Temple.
"I do something occasionally, but most of the time there is nothing to do." The third elder said truthfully.
If they had nothing else to do, why would the first and second elders go to the clinic to help out every day?
Shen Jingxuan suddenly felt depressed. She had never managed the Red Flame Temple before and didn't expect it to be like this.
Thinking of the Great Elder, Shen Jingxuan became even more angry.
He always thinks about traveling and sightseeing, and asks her for money, but he manages the Red Flame Temple like this. How can he have the nerve to ask her for money?
She thought the Great Elder was doing a good job, but she didn't expect that under his leadership, the Scarlet Flame Temple would be even more relaxed than her own.
Shen Jingxuan never expected that everyone in the hall kept calling her "little ancestor", but in the end she didn't act like a little ancestor at all.
Has anyone ever seen any ancestor spending a large amount of money every month to support his grandchildren?
It seems that she needs to find something for them to do, otherwise she will not be able to maintain such a large Red Flame Temple even if she works herself to death.
Shen Jingxuan thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution, but her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps outside.
The sound of chaotic footsteps came closer and closer, and a disciple from the Red Flame Temple walked in: "Little Ancestor, we found Shen Jingyue's whereabouts."
"where is it?"
Before Shen Jingxuan could open her mouth, the third elder started asking.
"In Zuiyue Tower, there are several disciples guarding there. If there are any changes, they will come back to report in time."
After hearing his words, Shen Jingxuan's discomfort was slightly relieved.
Seeing that they were finally of some use, Shen Jingxuan didn't bother to spend so much money to support them. She just wanted to find something for them to do as soon as possible.
Shen Jingxuan looked at the third elder, and they both stood up and walked out.
She thought Shen Jingyue would be hiding in that corner and laughing, after all, she had once again schemed against the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Unexpectedly, Shen Jingyue went to Zuiyue Tower. It seemed that she had enough confidence.
Not only was she not worried about the truth being exposed, she was also not worried about her retaliation after she learned the truth.
Thinking of this, Shen Jingxuan felt guilty.
If I don't go to see Shen Jingyue's smug face, I would be letting her carefully planned arrangements down.
In this case, Shen Jingxuan was actually looking forward to Shen Jingyue's next performance, hoping that she would not be disappointed.
The sun gradually set, and Shen Jingxuan and the third elder came to the lobby of Zuiyue Tower.
When the steward saw Shen Jingxuan, he came forward and greeted her enthusiastically: "Miss Shen, you are here."
He had seen the prince bring her to dinner more than once, and seeing what the prince did, he knew that Shen Jingxuan held a very high position in the prince's heart.
"Butler, I want to take care of something. I wonder if it will have an impact on the restaurant."
If it were somewhere else, Shen Jingxuan wouldn't care what happened, nor would she have to worry about whether it would affect their business.
At worst, she could give them some money after she dealt with Shen Jingyue.
But in Zuiyue Tower, she couldn't do that.
This is Xie Lingxiao's shop, and she must not let Xie Lingxiao's shop suffer any losses.
"Don't worry, Miss Shen. Just handle the matter. The restaurant will not be affected."
The manager let Shen Jingxuan do her own thing without thinking.
There will inevitably be some impact, but compared with Shen Jingxuan, those losses become insignificant.
After all, Shen Jingxuan is someone the prince values. Even if it really damages the restaurant's business, the prince won't care. Maybe he will even be happy, right?
Shen Jingxuan was no longer polite: "Okay, thank you, Manager."
The steward replied hastily: "I don't deserve it. Miss Shen, please do as you please." After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen.
He was afraid of delaying Shen Jingxuan's handling of matters, so he also wanted to find a chance to inform the prince.
I was afraid that Shen Jingxuan wouldn’t be able to handle things well and would be wronged here.
If the prince gets angry, it will be more than a small steward like him can bear.
Seeing the steward leave, Shen Jingxuan brought the third elder to the private room where Shen Jingyue was.
There were many people in Zuiyue Tower at this time. Seeing Shen Jingxuan and others coming in aggressively, they followed behind, wanting to see what they were going to do.
Shen Jingxuan stood outside the door of the private room. When she heard the sound coming from the private room, the corners of her lips gradually curled up.
The third elder standing next to her stared at the door with a gloomy expression.
The people following behind him who were watching the fun all opened their eyes wide and looked at each other in disbelief.
