Just when Lu Ziyuan was sweating profusely, at a loss, Zuo San suddenly flew in from the courtyard gate.

He had used all his strength to fly all the way from the pig seller, fearing that if he came back late, Mu Qingqing might get into an accident. How could he be worthy of the military order he had just issued in front of his master yesterday?

He calmly dusted himself off and bowed to Mu Qingqing.

He raised his right eyebrow and said: See, what did I say? What if someone comes to trouble you when Zuo Si and I are not here? I really got it right!

Mu Qingqing looked at the steady Zuo San making funny little gestures towards her and was amused: Well, not only Xiao Si is a funny guy, Xiao San is also heading towards being funny.

The subordinate who made up his mind that it was so fun would never return it.

The smile on her face was as bright as the sun, her obsidian eyes were sparkling, and there were shallow dimples on her lips, which made Lu Ziyuan, who was unable to find a topic to talk about, stunned again.

I cursed myself for being blind. Such a stunning beauty has been in front of me for so many years, how come I only discovered her today? !

If I had known that Miss Mu was so beautiful, I would have asked my mother to propose marriage to her. And what about the Sixth Prince?

Lu Ziyuan, who didn't know that he had been turned into a mobile treasury, looked at the beauty in front of him, still immersed in beautiful fantasies.

If his thoughts were allowed to wander any further, he would probably be thinking about his children and grandchildren...

Mu Qingqing wanted to cut the Gordian knot, and showed Lu Ziyuan a wolf grandmother smile: "Mr. Lu, since you have said this, I can't return your kindness. How about this. Tell me the value of the gift you want to give me today, and I will exchange it for gold directly. I have a special liking for this golden little thing. This way everyone will be happy, don't you think?"

Zuo San stood behind Mu Qingqing competently, grinning at Lu Ziyuan with his white teeth showing.

Boy, if you dare to disagree, just try it!

"Yes, yes, Miss Mu is right. It's exactly what I want." Lu Ziyuan stretched out his right palm and said to Mu Qingqing carefully: "Then give me five..."

"Five thousand taels of gold? My goodness, Mr. Lu is so polite. I feel embarrassed." Mu Qingqing set the amount directly without waiting for Lu Ziyuan to say the amount.

Oh, I have been chatting with you for such a long time, and it is not in vain. Chatting is a technical job, and it requires a lot of brain cells, okay!

"..." Lu Ziyuan looked at Mu Qingqing in astonishment.

Five thousand taels! And gold! Why don't you go and rob it!

My monthly salary is only 200 taels of silver. Please note that it is silver, not gold. If you ask me to pay 5,000 taels of gold, that would be like asking for my life!

He glanced at Mu Qingqing with his not-so-big almond-shaped eyes and asked her kindly, "Can you lower it a little?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his chubby right hand and slowly retracted his five fingers one by one until he reached the index finger.

Mu Qingqing was so amused by his actions that she shouted, "I've heard of bargaining when buying vegetables at the market, but I've never heard of bargaining when giving wedding gifts! What? Do you think five thousand taels of gold is not worthy of your status? Do you want to give ten thousand taels of gold? I can accept this."

"No, no, no, Miss Mu, you misunderstood. Five thousand taels, that's five thousand taels of gold." Lu Ziyuan shook his head like a rattle.

My heart was bleeding: How long would this much gold last for me to visit Yihong Courtyard? I could order multiple courtesans, and there wouldn't be any duplicates. Woo woo woo woo...

I really didn't check the almanac before going out today. I'm asking for trouble!

Mu Qingqing doesn’t know yet that Lu Ziyuan is one of the behind-the-scenes bosses of the Sihai Casino and one of the culprits in this poisoning incident.

If he knew, he wouldn't have taken the five thousand taels of gold so lightly. He had to be as good as the man lying on the ground.

At present, she only thought that he was a fool from the landlord's family who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

Not to mention, the original natives of this era, even if they are idiots (you think they look like idiots), look so fresh and unworldly in their idiocy.

But it is not so easy to be the oriole. Once you have done it, you must be prepared to be robbed by a third party at any time.

Lu Ziyuan began to think about how he should go to his mother to cheat her out of money after returning home. Would the self-torture trick work? Or would a few drops of cat urine work?

Seeing him standing there for a long time without any response, Mu Qingqing coughed a few times to attract his attention.

Lu Ziyuan spun his head, glanced at Mu Qingqing, then lowered his head in embarrassment, and said intermittently: "This, that, Miss Mu..."

To be honest, Lu Ziyuan, who lives a life of luxury, has never encountered such an embarrassing situation as the one he is facing now - no money, want to buy on credit?

There were many people who paid for his visits to restaurants and brothels, but he had never spent such a large sum of money as five thousand taels of gold.

"What do you want to say, Mr. Lu? Could it be that the son of the great master cannot come up with a mere five thousand taels of gold?" Mu Qingqing looked at him with deliberate sarcasm.

A mere five thousand taels of gold? Since it's just a mere sum, if you have the guts, don't ask me for it!

Unfortunately, under the pressure from Zuo San, Lu Ziyuan didn't dare to say anything back. He could only mutter in his heart, but what he said out loud was: "How could it be? It's just that I can't raise so much gold at once. Miss Mu, can you give me a few days to make ends meet?"

As long as I leave this door, I will not take responsibility for this. Let’s see what you can do to me!

Looking at Lu Ziyuan's expression, Mu Qingqing knew what he was planning: You little bastard, when I was out there, you didn't even know where to play in the mud!

Turning back, he playfully asked Zuo San, "Xiao San, Xiao Si wrote a confession very professionally. Is this an IOU? Did you write it professionally?"

Zuo Sanyi patted his chest and said, "Ms. Mu, this is nothing! These are just the basic skills in the liberal arts for us."

Mu Qingqing smiled with her eyebrows crooked and her teeth showing, two shallow dimples were faintly visible: I found the treasure, a walking encyclopedia, a man of both civil and military talents!

He took out a blank document from his sleeve and asked Zuo San to write an IOU for five thousand taels of gold.

Then he smiled and asked the financier, "Mr. Lu, how many days do you plan to make ends meet? I can write it down clearly on the IOU."

In Lu Ziyuan's eyes, this beautiful woman who was smiling and talking, was just a snake in sheep's clothing! She was both beautiful and poisonous!

Why was I so blind as to provoke her?

As he was thinking, he caught a glimpse of the small path beside him and couldn't help but jump over it again (this time he really tried): It's all this dog slave's fault for misleading me...

He refused to admit that he was tempted by her beauty and followed her to save her, thus getting both the woman and the money.

Now not only do you have the beauty, but you also lose a huge sum of money!

I don’t know if I can get such a large sum of money out of my mother.

Otherwise, you can only go to the gambling house.

Thinking of the gambling house, an idea suddenly occurred to me: Why did I come here? It was for the bets in the gambling house. Seeing the protagonist right in front of me...

A vicious plan came up in his mind, but he still looked honest and loyal on his face: "Well, Miss Mu. How about seven days later, I will prepare five thousand taels of gold. Let's meet in a safe place, and we can hand over the money in one hand and the IOU in the other hand?"

Hehe, when the time comes, I will come and rob the thieves. I will take the person but not the money!
