Chapter 112 Pay off debts
At the same time, Lu Ming in the study also finished his official business.
He walked out of the study, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and couldn't help but think of what happened today.
"It seems that Lin Wan'er is getting more and more outrageous. She actually dared to treat Qiao'er like this."
A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he decided to find an opportunity to teach Lin Wan'er a lesson.
At this time, Lin Wan'er also returned to the mansion. She sat in the house with a face full of resentment, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into shape by her.
"Lu Ming, how dare you treat me like this! I will make you pay!"
She said through gritted teeth, her eyes full of malice.
Seeing this, the maid beside her asked cautiously, "Miss, what should we do next?"
When Lin Wan'er heard this, a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes.
"Go, find some people for me. I'm going to let them know what happens if they offend me!"
There was a hint of cruelty and determination in her voice, which made the maid shudder.
In this way, a conspiracy against Lu Ming and Su Qiaoer was brewing.
The next day, Lu Ming accompanied Su Qiaoer for a walk in the garden of the mansion. The two talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very warm.
But at this moment, a servant hurried over.
"Sir, something bad has happened. There is a group of people making trouble outside. They say they are looking for your wife."
Lu Ming frowned when he heard this. He glanced at Su Qiaoer and saw that she looked normal, so he felt relieved.
"Don't be afraid, I'll go out and take a look."
Having said that, he strode out of the mansion.
Su Qiaoer looked at Lu Ming's departing back, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but she knew that she could not cause trouble for Lu Ming.
So she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
At this time, a group of people had gathered outside the mansion, and they were clamoring for Su Qiaoer.
Lu Ming walked out of the mansion and looked at the scene in front of him, his face suddenly darkened.
"What are you doing? Why are you causing trouble here?"
The big man in the lead glanced at him and said disdainfully, "Who are you? We're looking for Su Qiao'er. Ask her to come out and see us!"
Lu Ming's heart tightened when he heard this, but he quickly recovered his composure and looked at the big man coldly.
"I'm her husband. You can tell me if you have anything."
The big man obviously didn't expect that Lu Ming would be Su Qiaoer's husband. He was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered his composure.
"Well, since you are her husband, we will tell you! Your wife owes us money, and now you must pay us back immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming shouted, "Nonsense! How could my wife owe you money?"
The big man felt a little guilty when he saw this, but he quickly mustered up the courage to shout, "We're not talking nonsense! Your wife owes us money! If you don't believe me, go ask her!"
Lu Ming looked at him coldly and was about to speak when he saw Su Qiaoer walking out of the mansion.
"Qiao'er, why did you come out?"
Su Qiaoer smiled slightly, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
"Brother Ming, I'm fine. Let me talk to them."
As she spoke, she turned to look at the group of people and asked calmly, "You said I owed you money, do you have any evidence?"
The group of people obviously didn't expect Su Qiaoer to be so calm. They were stunned for a moment, and soon started shouting again.
"Of course there's evidence! You wrote the IOU yourself!"
Su Qiaoer frowned slightly when she heard this. She knew in her heart that she had not written any IOU.
"Okay, then please take out the IOU and let me see it."
The group of people were stunned when they heard this. They looked at each other, and a trace of panic flashed across their faces.
"The IOU...we don't have the IOU with us, but we can go back and get it!"
Su Qiaoer looked at their panicked expressions and had already made up her mind.
"Okay, then I'll wait here for you to bring the IOU."
Her voice was calm and firm, which made the group of people feel afraid.
They looked at each other and finally had to agree.
"Okay, wait! We'll go back and get the IOU now!"
With that, they hurriedly left the Lu Mansion.
Looking at their departing backs, a hint of coldness flashed in Su Qiaoer's eyes.
She knew that this group of people were just being instigated to cause trouble, and the real mastermind behind the scenes was probably someone else.
Looking at her calmness, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.
"Qiao'er, you are so amazing."
Su Qiaoer smiled slightly and shook her head.
"Nothing, I just don't want you to worry about me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Ming held her hand tightly.
"Qiao'er, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will be by your side to protect you."
Su Qiaoer looked at his determined eyes and felt warm in her heart.
She knew that she had not chosen the wrong person.
At this moment, the group of people hurried back, holding a piece of paper in their hands, which was the so-called "IOU".
Su Qiaoer took a look at the paper and sneered.
"Is this your IOU? This is clearly a forged IOU! The handwriting on it isn't mine at all!"
Upon hearing this, the group's faces suddenly changed, but they still pretended to be calm and shouted, "You're lying! This is clearly the IOU you wrote yourself!"
Su Qiaoer ignored their shouting and turned to look at Lu Ming.
"Brother Ming, do you believe me?"
Lu Ming looked at her determined eyes and nodded without hesitation.
"I believe you."
Although his voice was not loud, it was full of power, which warmed Su Qiaoer's heart.
Seeing how calm they were, the group of people couldn't help but feel a little flustered, but they still shouted, "Don't deny it! This IOU is yours! You must return the money to us today!"
Su Qiaoer sneered when she heard this. She turned and looked at the group of people, a sharp look in her eyes.
"If you dare to cause trouble here again, don't blame me for being rude!"
There was a sense of majesty and determination in her voice, which made the group of people feel afraid.
"Oh? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the Prince's Mansion?"
Lu Ming's eyes were sharp and his voice was filled with unquestionable authority.
"I am the crown prince of the current dynasty. You keep saying that my wife is in debt, but have you ever thought about the consequences?"
He approached the group of people step by step, with such imposing aura that they involuntarily took a few steps back, their faces as pale as paper.
"Have you ever thought about how serious a crime it is to slander the Crown Prince's Consort in front of the Prince's Mansion?"
Su Qiaoer stood aside, watching Lu Ming stand up for her, her heart filled with emotion and relief.
As long as Lu Ming is around, no one can hurt her.
"Prince...we...we just..."
The big man tried to defend himself with a trembling voice, but found that he could not find a suitable reason.
"Just what? Are you just being instructed by someone, or do you have other plans?"
Lu Ming looked at them coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
