"Dear friends, don't worry first." After seeing these debtors, Ian's face looked extremely ugly, but he still forced a smile and said, "Everyone sit down first. Can't we say anything?"

"What are you sitting? I'll ask you when will you pay back the money?"

"That's right, you said your son Scott will pay back the money immediately after he comes back. Now that your son is back, you can pay it back quickly!"

"If you don't pay back the money, we will go to His Majesty the King to sue you immediately! Don't think about living at that time."

"Or, as before, you mortgage more than half of Norfolk's land."

…………

Looking at the angry debtors, Ian quickly calmed everyone down: "Friends, have we agreed before? You will postpone the debt problem for another year. Why don't you keep your word after receiving the beauty and gifts?"

After hearing this, a middle-aged man sarcastically said, "Just the broken gift you gave me, and those poor women, I want to send us away? I have had enough of them these days, and I almost hurt last night."

"That's right, shouting so loudly every night has disturbed me from sleeping."

"Don't talk nonsense, pay back the money quickly... As for those women and gifts, we don't want them anymore. We will return them to you now."

Listening to the accusations of the debtors, the servants serving in the hall almost laughed to death.

Facing these debtors, Ian's head was blown up. He just wanted to shrank his head and hide back, but the way back was completely blocked and there was no way to go. With helplessness, he could only hold Aiden to find an idea for him:

"Aiden, now the family has no money, what should we do?"

Aiden lowered his head and replied: "This..., now the debtor is tight, and if it really doesn't work, then use the land in the family to redeem it when we have money."

Ian shook his head: "I have already mortgaged a lot before, and the family no longer believes me. If I sell the land again, I am afraid that the whole family will oppose me. In short, this method doesn't work, so I'd better think about another one."

Aiden hesitated and said, "There is another way, that is, I am afraid that the Lord will not accept it."

"It's all at this critical moment. I have nothing to say, so I'm going to say it."

Ian is like a drowning person in the water at this moment, hoping to seize every opportunity to save him, so he urgently needs all solutions to the current predicament.

Aiden glanced at Scott, then bit Ian's ear and said, "Didn't the Lord make it clear when he signed a debt agreement with these debtors? So the debt will be ultimately responsible for the patriarch of the Scott family. If you are not the patriarch of the Scott family at this moment, then will this huge debt be left unresolved! After the new leader dealt with all these debt issues, it will not be too late to be the head of the Hui clan again!"

After hearing this, Ian's eyes lit up: "This is such a wonderful idea! So who will solve this problem in your opinion?"

"Of course it's Lord Scott." Ian said gritting his teeth.

Ian nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "Okay, then do it like this!"

After the master and servant agreed, Ian immediately waved his hand and said loudly: "Friends, I remember the provisions of our debt agreement: The patriarch of the Scott family is fully responsible for all debts. I wonder if you still remember this sentence?"

"Remember, what's wrong?" The debtors were slightly stunned, not understanding what Ian said?

"Just remember." Ian laughed and turned to Scott and said, "I announce that from today on, Scott will be the patriarch of the family. Come to him for future debts!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Scott's hand holding the teacup shook even more, and there was only one voice in his heart shouting: I can easily get the position of the leader of the Scott family.

But even though I was extremely ecstatic, I couldn't show it at all on my face.

"Father, how can you do this? Why do you push me into the fire pit?" Scott said loudly with great grief and anger.

Ian said with a smile: "Didn't you always want to inherit the Scott family? My father is so old that I can't do anything anymore, so you can get on the throne!"

Then, Ian said to the debtors in a very happy mood: "My dear friends, my son Scott is already the patriarch of this family. Now you can solve the debt problem with him yourself."

After saying that, Ian sat next to him without hesitation.

Looking at Ian's leisurely figure, the debtors were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Scott and said, "Mr. Scott, you must have heard what your father said just now. Since you are the patriarch of this family, how do you solve the debt problem of your family?"

Scott was originally in great joy, but when he saw that Ian did not mean to hand over the power of the clan leader, he put down his cup and said lightly: "That was just a word from him. I don't admit this sentence from him, so I'd better ask him for the debt."

What a joke? If you want to take responsibility for your debts in an understatement, how can you? At least you have to hand over the title deed, scepter and ring that represents the power of the patriarch, and then notify the people in the clan.

After hearing this, Ian seemed to have been stepped on his tail and immediately jumped up: "What do you mean? What do you mean by saying that I don't admit? I don't care, you are the patriarch anyway."

"Since I am the patriarch, hand over everything in the family that symbolizes the patriarch's power." As he said that, Scott stretched out his hand at Ian.

"This..." Looking at Scott's outstretched hand, Ian suddenly became hesitant.

Looking at Ian's hesitant face, Scott sneered: "Father, you're too naive to let me clean up the mess with you with just one sentence! Friends, you have seen that I have not obtained the real power of this family, so I'm not the patriarch! Okay, let's talk to my father slowly for debt issues, I'll withdraw it!"

After saying that, Scott got up and left.

The debtors behind him immediately started chattering with Ian.

When I returned to my mother Maria's house, my mother had already arranged dinner with her sisters: "I was about to send someone to call you, but I didn't expect you to come back by yourself. Come and have a meal."

Scote nodded and the family sat together for a reunion dinner.

Although Maria Henry was the illegitimate daughter of Henry IV, the nobles were well educated and paid attention to the fact that the table was silent. Therefore, during the meal, the table was extremely quiet.
