Li Changzui looked at Luo Minghe helplessly. Luo Minghe paused and said, "Don't tell me it was Su Yao!"

Li Changzui nodded briskly and said "I have to say you get it!"

Luo Minghe said doubtfully, "How is it possible? If that's the case, how could Duke Xu not know about it? Let's just say Duke Xu didn't know. If that's the case, Xu Chen can really endure it."

Xiao Hanqi smiled and nodded, saying, "Let's not think about this matter anymore. We can just go and ask and we'll know!"

After Xiao Hanqi finished speaking, he walked straight out, and Luo Minghe and Li Changzui hurriedly followed.

After Li Yue finished her breakfast, she was about to go see what they were doing, so she walked towards Xiao Hanqi's study. Before she got there, she ran into Li Meng. When Li Yue saw Li Meng coming out of the study, she quickly asked, "Meng'er, you went to the study!"

Li Meng nodded and said, "I saw that my brother, brother-in-law and... they didn't have any food, so I wanted to bring them some, but there was no one in the study, even Xiao Yi was gone."

Upon hearing this, Li Yue looked at Li Meng in surprise and asked, "Where did these three people go?"

Li Meng shook her head. Li Yue looked at the tray in Li Meng's hand, which had three meals on it. She smiled and said to Mu Mian, "Mu Mian, go take the things from the Second Miss. I'm going to go for a walk with the Second Miss. You guys don't have to follow me!"

Mu Man nodded, reached out to take Li Meng's tray, turned around and left.

Li Meng reached out and held Li Yue's arm and said, "Sister, what can I do for you?"

Li Yue smiled and said to Li Meng, "Do you still think the same as before?"

When Li Meng heard Li Yue ask this, she immediately understood what Li Yue meant. Li Meng said to Li Yue sincerely, "Sister, it's good like this now."

Li Yue saw the sad Li Meng and said helplessly, "You! Can't you just let go? You keep saying who... who you are."

Li Meng quickly said, "People from a thousand years later."

Li Yue nodded and said, "Yes, people a thousand years later don't care about such things. Do you not care? You care! A lot!"

After Li Yue finished speaking, she looked at Li Meng, who didn't plan to say anything. Seeing Li Meng like this, Li Yue felt distressed.

At the same time, Xiao Hanqi and the other two arrived at the palace. Li Changzui took a breath and looked at the house in front of him.

Located in the prosperous area of ​​Jiangnan, there is a magnificent mansion, which belongs to the famous Jiangnan wealthy merchant Wang family. The mansion covers a vast area and has an elegant architectural style.

Li Changzui stepped forward and said to the doorman, "Please tell them that a distinguished person is here to see Master Wang."

The concierge looked at Li Changzui and then at Xiao Hanqi. The three people in front of him were dressed like rich or noble people. The concierge did not dare to neglect them and quickly passed the message inside.

Xiao Hanqi and the other two did not have to wait long before the doorman came out and said respectfully to the three of them, "My master is not here, but the young master is here. The young master asked me to lead you to the front hall to wait, and he will be here soon."

Li Changzui smiled and nodded, saying, "Then please lead the way!"

The doorman quickly said, "You're welcome!" Then he led the three people to the front hall. The surrounding environment was filled with pavilions and towers, and exquisitely carved doors and windows.

There were groups of servants, all dressed in fancy clothes, busily moving around the palace. The courtyard was full of exotic flowers and plants, which bloomed all year round, and it was full of vitality.

When they reached the front hall, the doorman asked the three of them to wait for a moment and then went out. Li Changzui looked around.

The hall of the mansion is decorated magnificently, with antiques, calligraphy and paintings galore. The owner often discusses business with guests here, chatting and laughing.

Soon a young man came in, holding a folding fan in his hand, wearing a light-colored long gown with cloud patterns embroidered on it with delicate golden silk threads, showing his elegance and taste. He had a white jade pendant tied around his waist, and the clear and pleasant sound of the jade swayed as he walked.

The man had long black hair that flowed like a waterfall and gently fell on his shoulders, revealing a natural noble aura. His face was as bright as the autumn moon, and his deep eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, reflecting his wisdom and determination.

Li Changzui couldn't imagine how such a person could become a well-known figure in the underworld. He clearly looked like a gentle and refined scholar.

The man bowed to the three people and said, "My name is Wang Yuxuan. May I know who you are...?"

Li Changzui looked at Wang Yuxuan, pointed at Xiao Hanqi and said with a smile, "This is His Royal Highness the King of Han from our Qing Kingdom!"

When Wang Yuxuan heard that it was King Han, he immediately knelt down and saluted to Xiao Hanqi and said, "I greet your Highness King Han!"

Xiao Hanqi said expressionlessly, "Get up!"

Wang Yuxuan stood up, bowed and said, "I wonder why your Majesty is here?"

Xiao Hanqi glanced at Luo Minghe, who said directly, "The prince wants to borrow money from you!"

Wang Yuxuan looked at Xiao Hanqi in surprise when he heard this, and said in confusion, "I wonder what your Highness means by this?"

Xiao Hanqi ignored Wang Yuxuan and sat down directly, while Luo Minghe said directly, "Do you know that the rainy season is getting closer and closer? Yesterday, our prince went to check the dam and found that the dam had collapsed in several places. If it is not repaired, there will be big problems. Therefore, the prince wants to discuss with you and borrow money to repair it. Of course, if you borrow, you must pay it back, with interest. I wonder if you are willing to do so, Prince?"

After hearing what Luo Minghe said, Wang Yuxuan thought for a moment and said to Xiao Hanqi, "My Lord, how much do you want to borrow?"

Luo Minghe said to Wang Yuxuan, "Five hundred thousand taels!"

Wang Yuxuan was surprised to hear the amount of money and said, "Five hundred thousand taels, Your Majesty, this... this...!"

Luo Minghe continued, "How much can you borrow?"

When Wang Yuxuan heard what Luo Minghe said, he immediately understood that this meant that their three major families should divide the 500,000 taels.

Wang Yuxuan thought for a moment and said to Xiao Hanqi, "Your Highness, let's borrow 100,000 taels and then donate another 50,000 taels. Do you think this is okay?"

When Xiao Hanqi heard Wang Yuxuan say this, he asked, "Conditions?"

Wang Yuxuan looked at the people around him and said to Xiao Hanqi, "Your Majesty, can you please move to the study?"

Xiao Hanqi nodded, and Wang Yuxuan excitedly said to Xiao Hanqi, "Your Majesty, please!"

Xiao Hanqi followed Wang Yuxuan out, and before leaving, he said to Li Changzui and Luo Minghe, "You guys wait!"

So the two of them went out and walked to the study. Xiao Hanqi looked around and saw an exquisite desk placed in the middle of the room. Various books were neatly arranged on the bookshelf against the wall, covering classics, history, poetry, songs, etc. There might be a few paintings hanging on the wall of the study, and a pot of green plants was placed by the window, bringing a touch of vitality to the study.

Wang Yuxuan asked Xiao Hanqi to sit down, and Xiao Hanqi sat on the chair in front of the window.
