The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Lu Ming felt his scalp tingling when he saw Lu Zhaoling counting money.

He shouted anxiously, "One hundred taels! One hundred taels is enough for a common people's family to eat for a long time. It's more than enough for you to eat for half a year!"

"One hundred taels? Lord Lu is sending away beggars?"

Lu Zhaoling laughed.

"Who told you about the food that ordinary people eat? What I'm saying now is that I'm weak and need tonic food. Can medicinal food, ginseng, bird's nest and ganoderma lucidum, be the same as plain food?"

Why do you have to eat that? Can simple food kill you? ! ! !

The villain in Lu Ming's heart was jumping and shouting wildly, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"Don't be too outrageous. You should know that our family is not rich." Lu Ming said this between his teeth.

"You are going to marry the Second Prince, it's too shabby. Aren't you afraid that Concubine Shu will dislike you two in-laws?" Lu Zhaoling said lightly, "Besides, if I'm not in good health and too weak, how can I have the strength to look for things?"

Lu Ming felt that she was pinching his neck.

"Then how much do you want!"

"One thousand taels, please." Lu Zhaoling looked down at her nails, and said indifferently, "If Lord Lu thinks it's too expensive, forget it. I'm not forcing you to give it."

Lu Ming's face was very dark. He felt like he was about to become numb from anger. He was so angry that he couldn't even roar.

"Don't you think you are asking for too much?"

"I think so."

Lu Zhaoling opened her big, bright eyes and blinked them, looking like she really wanted a beating.

"So I won't force it. Lord Lu can refuse."

At this moment, Qingyin said to Qingbao, "Qingbao, our young lady is really amazing. She helped Miss Sun find something that had been lost for many years."

I'm sorry to borrow my cousin Sun's body. What we found was the remains of my cousin Sun.

"Yes, yes, I think the young lady has sharp eyes and can make inferences. She is very smart, and she is also very lucky."

When Lu Ming heard the conversation between the two maids, he thought of the extremely important marriage certificate and bit his back teeth hard.

He and his wife dug so hard yesterday and last night that today they can hardly lift their hands and their old waist is almost broken.

Nothing!

"Can't it be less? Five hundred taels..." Is that okay?

Lu Zhaoling turned around and left without waiting for him to finish.

"Qingyin Qingbao, go back and have a rest. You are so tired after working so hard all day."

"One thousand is one thousand!"

Lu Ming's gritted teeth roar came from behind.

A dark color welled up in Lu Zhaoling's eyes, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It seems that Lu Ming does have some secrets. With his position and his stupidity, he can't dig out so much money.

When she tried this time, he actually agreed to even one thousand taels, which meant that he had some money.

She knew the Lu family from her years in the countryside. The Lu family had no background. Old Man Lu, Old Lady Lu, and Old Third Lu were all ordinary, rough people who didn't understand the law and were unreasonable. They quarreled with their neighbors every few days, and some of the children in the family even stole things.

It can be said that they are a family whose moral character is not up to par.

They certainly couldn't give Lu Ming any support or help.

The reason why Lu Zhaoling stayed and did not confront them head-on for the time being was, firstly, because she really needed to recuperate and familiarize herself with this dynasty and this place; secondly, because she felt that Lu Ming had a secret and she had to observe and dig it out.

During this period, she took silver from him time, time, and time again, just to test his bottom line. Logically speaking, the silver they took out during this period should have almost filled Lu Ming's rice jar.

But now that it was only one thousand taels, he still agreed to take it out.

Where does the money come from?

Lu Zhaoling turned around and looked at him with a bright smile.

"Okay, when Lord Lu brings it over, I'll start looking for it."

"I'll give it to you tomorrow!" Lu Ming said hatefully.

"okay."

Back in Tingnuan Tower, Lu Zhaoling was thinking while drinking tea.

Qingyin walked behind her and squeezed her shoulders. "Miss, it seems that Master Lu is not particularly poor?"

See, even Qingyin noticed the problem.

"Well, there is indeed a problem." Lu Zhaoling said, "Qingyin, go and keep an eye on him tonight."

"Yes."

It’s the second watch and the night is dark.

A man tiptoed to the back door, looked back first to make sure no one saw him, then he gently pulled the bolt, opened the door and slipped out.

He walked through an alley, turned the corner quickly, and entered another alley.

There was silence all around.

He didn't run very far and soon arrived at the back door of another small house.

The back door was locked. He took the key from his waist, unlocked it, and pushed the door open.

At the back wall, Qingyin waited for him to go in for a while before walking over and gently pushing the door.

The house was very small. Looking at it under the moonlight, the backyard was also very messy, with things piled everywhere. It seemed as if no one lived there, because Qingyin could smell a strong smell of dust and mildew.

She listened carefully and heard a breath, determined Lu Ming's location, and immediately walked towards him carefully.

It was a storage room in the corner of the backyard. The door was ajar, and a very faint candlelight was coming through.

Qingyin leaned over and looked inside through the cracks in the wooden planks...

The next day.

The weather is pretty good today, sunny and windy.

Lu Zhaoling had a small bowl of pork ribs porridge this morning, with two small fried three-fresh buns, which were very fragrant.

She didn't plan to go out today. She planned to stay at home to polish the fang and make the weapon.

However, when she saw Lu Ming being led in by Qingbao with a bag of things in his hands, she felt better. Thinking of what Qingyin had said to her in the morning, she felt that it was not a bad idea to go out for a while.

"One thousand taels, I brought it to you!"

This time, Lu Ming was too lazy to even put it in a box. He simply wrapped the one thousand taels of silver in a piece of old cloth and carried it over.

He put the silver on the table and stared at Lu Zhaoling with a sullen face.

"Don't go out today, help me find the things."

He can't wait any longer!

"Qingbao, dot." Lu Zhaoling said.

"Yes." Qingbao stepped forward and opened the cloth bag.

"What do you mean? Can I fool you?" Lu Ming was so angry at her. This action was too insulting.

Lu Zhaoling gave him a look that said "you don't know the answer".

"Lord Lu is still rich," she said.

"I have already pawned several things to get this!" Lu Ming immediately said angrily, "You have been back for a month and have already emptied the house. I advise you to quit while you are ahead."

"Really? Or did you pawn something to get the money? What did you pawn?" Lu Zhaoling picked up a silver ingot and tossed it in his hand.

"These are some ornaments I have saved up over the years! I'll give you the silver, go find them now."
