Governor's Mansion.

Doctor Zhang changed the medicine for Lu Yuan, wrapped a new bandage around his neck, and said earnestly, "Grand Commander, your injury has not healed yet. You need to reduce your activities and rest more."

"Ah."

Lu Yuan looked at the border map in his hand and hummed nonchalantly.

Doctor Zhang knew that he didn't listen, so he shook his head helplessly.

The Grand Commander was cruel to others and even crueler to himself. It was absolutely correct to say that he regarded human life as worthless, because he did not take his own life seriously at all.

Doctor Zhang packed up his medicine box and looked at Baoshu, who was standing with her back to the two of them. He asked hesitantly, "Ms. Baoshu..."

"Don't worry about her."

"Yes, I will take my leave first and come back tomorrow to change the medicine for the Grand Commander."

Doctor Zhang went out carrying the medicine box.

Bao Shu sat on the couch, facing the wall, and gave Lu Yuan an angry slap on the back of her head!

The reason was simple. She slept well last night, but when she woke up, the sweet and soft embrace was gone, and she had been angry about her weight the whole morning!

Shangguan Ling and Qingshuang entered the room at the same time. One of them had just come from the palace, and the other had just returned from eating melon outside.

Shangguan Ling was about to speak, but he glanced at Qingshuang and raised his hand: "You speak first."

Qingshuang said: "Miss Meng wants to buy a house."

Shangguan Ling was puzzled: "No, why are you always staring at her?"

Qingshuang said: "I wasn't staring at her, I just happened to see her."

Shangguan Ling smiled: "The Lu family is at least half an hour's drive away from us. Where did you run into them?"

Qingshuang said bluntly: "Fengshui Hutong."

Shangguan Ling's face changed. "She... went to Fengshui Hutong to buy a house? That place is full of haunted houses! The elders of Qianji Pavilion defected with several disciples and hid here. Later, Qianji Pavilion sent masters to clean up the mess. They even killed the chickens passing by. Only the successor of the Thirteen Ghost Needles escaped and was rescued by the King of Chu. The King of Chu brought her back to the border. She was later known as Madam Chu."

"Mrs. Chu grew up in the Chu family and was childhood sweethearts with Marshal Chu. She never thought that one day she would destroy the Chu family that raised her with her own hands."

Shangguan Ling sighed when mentioning the tragedy of the Chu family.

Lu Yuan didn't say anything.

Shangguan Ling asked Qingshuang again: "Doesn't she know that there are haunted houses in there?"

Qingshuang said, “I know.”

Shangguan Ling: "Then she still buys it?"

Qingshuang: "It's cheap. Miss Meng is short of money."

The angry little pig pricked up its ears.

After Qingshuang left, Baoshu climbed down from the couch.

Shangguan Ling and Lu Yuan talked about matters at the border, but Baoshu had no interest at all and crawled out using her hands and feet.

She first crawled back to her room, fished out the small bag she had hidden under the bed, then crawled back to Lu Yuan's room, sneaked past the feet of Shangguan Ling and Lu Yuan, and quietly entered the inner room.

She opened the door of the treasure cabinet and saw the white silver bills. She stretched out her chubby little hand and stuffed the silver bills into her small purse with a sense of surreptitiousness!

midnight.

Meng Qianqian was awakened by a nightmare and sat up with a start.

Inside the house, the lights were dim. A lazy and handsome figure was sitting on a yellow pear wood official hat chair covered with tiger skin opposite, flipping through her new storybook nonchalantly.

He hasn't been here for a while since he was injured.

Meng Qianqian frowned: "Grand Commander, can you——"

Stop showing up in her room at midnight!

Lu Yuan casually threw something to her.

She took it swiftly, opened it and saw that it was full of banknotes.

Lu Yuan asked casually, "What did you want to say to me just now?"

Meng Qianqian: "Nothing."

"Humph."

Lu Yuan turned a page of the storybook and said with disdain, "Why is it an unfinished book?"

Meng Qianqian looked at the heavy banknotes in her purse and asked, "What does the Grand Commander want?"

Lu Yuan said: "It's Baozhu's."

"Hmm?" Meng Qianqian looked around and saw Baoshu lying on her back, fast asleep, holding a small milk bag in her hand, on the inside of the bed.

Meng Qianqian pulled the quilt over and gently covered Baoshu.

Lu Yuan flipped a few pages forward: "I'm just borrowing it from you, don't think too much about it."

Meng Qianqian counted them and found that there were twenty notes with a face value of one thousand taels each, which equaled twenty thousand taels. With the ten thousand taels she had in her hand, she would still have two thousand taels left for turnover after buying the house.

It is definitely a timely relief.

Although the Lu family would return her dowry, the deadline was one month, and she could not snatch it away before the deadline.

Meng Qianqian said softly: "Thank you, Grand Commander."

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm not lending it to you for free. I'll charge 3% interest."

Meng Qianqian frowned: "This is double the interest, which is no different from lending money at usury. How can the Grand Commander take Zhao Zhao's money and lend it at usury?"

Lu Yuan said arrogantly: "I am happy to do so."

Meng Qianqian: “…”

"If you don't lend it to me, I can take it away."

"borrow."

Can't offend this person.

"Will you tidy up the library?"

"meeting."

"Go to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow and get everything sorted. I'll give you one cent in interest."

The sky is bright.

Lu Lingxiao came out of the military camp. He had been in a bad mood ever since Meng Qianqian divorced her in public. It was not that he didn't want to find Meng Qianqian and ask her why she did this.

However, urgent news came from the border again, and he was called to the military camp again.

After discussing for a whole night, without even taking a moment to catch their breath, the young emperor summoned him and Lin Wan'er into the palace.

He was a fighter, and three days and three nights without sleep would not be a problem for him, but this time he was exhausted both physically and mentally, and felt very tired.

Lin Wan'er brought ginseng soup: General, Wan'er has made ginseng soup, it won’t be too late for you to drink a bowl before entering the palace.

"No need, hurry into the palace."

Lin Wan'er looked at Lu Lingxiao who rejected her, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes.

The two of them got on the carriage heading to the palace.

Along the way, Lu Lingxiao said nothing, and anyone could see that Yi Jue had given him a great shock and humiliation.

Green Rose said: "General, the girl has been..."

Shen Yan glared, "Shut up!"

Luoluo turned her face away with resentment, lifted the curtain and looked out: "Ah! Isn't that... the eldest young master's wife? Where is she going?"

Lu Lingxiao quickly stood up and looked out the window, but the carriage was going too fast and he soon lost sight of Meng Qianqian.

"parking!"

Lu Lingxiao said.

Lin Wan'er gestured and said: His Majesty summoned me, I think it's about the border affairs. The military situation is urgent, I hope the general will take the important matters seriously.

Lu Lingxiao frowned and said, "She didn't bring any maids with her."

Shen Yan muttered, "What's the point of caring now? What did you do earlier? Belated love is cheaper than grass!"

Lu Lingxiao: "Be careful with your words!"

Shen Yan covered his head and hid away.

The people in the Governor's Mansion knew Meng Qianqian, and when they saw her coming, they politely invited her in.

Meng Qianqian asked the servant, "Excuse me, where is the library? The Grand Commander asked me to organize the library."

Lu Yuan must have given instructions. The servant pointed inside and said, "Miss Meng, please follow me."

"it is good."

Meng Qianqian nodded.

The servant led the way and said with a smile: "The Grand Commander said that if we can't sort it out, it doesn't matter. The worst that can happen is that we have to pay a little more interest."

How difficult could it be to organize a library?

She is sure to make money from this interest.

What she didn't expect was that Lu Yuan's library was not inside the Governor's Mansion, but was through the Governor's Mansion and exited from the west door.

The servant took her to a seven-story attic and said, "Miss Meng, this is it."

Meng Qianqian looked up at the magnificent building and asked softly, "Which floor is the library on?"

The servant smiled: "All of them."

Meng Qianqian: “……!!”
