Sang Zhixia was once a promising agricultural博士, but after a fall, she became a poor concubine forced into a substitute marriage! On her wedding day, the groom rushed into the bridal chamber an...
Chapter 706 How can I miss this opportunity to mock someone for the rest of my life?!
Tian Ying'er met Sang Zhixia's look of astonishment, and laughed awkwardly, pinching her fingers.
"It's a bit embarrassing to say this, but aren't you the only one I know best in Nanyun?"
Sang Zhixia was speechless for a moment.
Tian Ying'er held her chin in her hand and sighed, "The money I brought with me when I went out was originally enough, but I spent a lot of it on miscellaneous things, and I've been having some difficulties recently, so it's all gone in a blink of an eye."
"Sister, lend me some money and I'll write you an IOU!"
"When I get home and get the money, I'll pay you back nine out of ten, plus interest. I promise I'll stick to it!"
Tian Ying'er said this with such confidence that Sang Zhixia couldn't help laughing inwardly after hearing it.
No wonder he had to drag Xu Mingyang and Sang Yanyou along when he went to Tingyue Tower to see the world. It turned out that he was short of money and was looking for a sucker to share the burden?
Sang Zhixia noticed that Tian Ying'er was dressed much more simply. Her eyes drifted across her waist, which was empty of the jade pendant, and she laughed, "Silver isn't a difficult thing."
"How much do you want?"
Tian Ying'er raised her hands and looked eagerly.
Sang Zhixia was amused: "Five hundred? Or five thousand?"
"No, fifty thousand taels."
Sang Zhixia raised her eyebrows calmly, and asked playfully, "Fifty thousand taels for one time?"
"I don't have that much on hand right now. I'll give you some today and I'll exchange the rest for easy-to-carry silver notes tomorrow. Is that okay?"
Tian Ying'er didn't expect Sang Zhixia to be so easy to talk to. Her eyes lit up and she nodded quickly.
"no problem!"
"I'll write you an IOU right now, I..."
"There's no rush for the IOU."
Sang Zhixia took the tea that Tian Ying'er poured for her with both hands, and said with a mixture of joy and curiosity, "You're all alone out there, so spending some money isn't a big deal. Since you can't raise the money right now, it's a good thing you thought of coming to me."
"but……"
Sang Zhixia paused and said helplessly, "Don't tell me that you went to Tingyue Tower with Xu Mingyang and the others yesterday, and you saw some courtesan who needed to be rescued. Did you use this money to redeem her?"
Tian Ying'er was not surprised that Xu Mingyang and the others would sell her out. Her expression was blank and she rubbed her hands awkwardly.
"You know everything?"
"I know."
Sang Zhixia said with a smile, "Xu Mingyang and Sang Yanyou just got beaten up in the back, and the marks from the canes are still warm on their bodies."
Tian Ying'er cried out in pain and quickly said, "Sister, don't blame them for this. I dragged them there by force."
"And it seems those two guys can't stand the smell of pollen. As soon as they walked in, they were like big bears with a cold. Tears and snot were flying all over their faces. They almost sneezed so hard that the Oiran was knocked away."
"They really didn't do anything except cry and snot. They didn't even dare to drink a sip of water before coming out!"
Sang Zhixia blinked leisurely, and Tian Ying'er said bitterly, "And I didn't expect that the famous courtesan would be that beautiful."
"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have spent the two hundred taels of silver, so that I wouldn't be unable to even afford the medicine."
Sang Zhixia rubbed her fingertips across the teacup and raised an eyebrow. "Are you feeling unwell? Are you also suffering from a rash due to the effects of cosmetics and perfume?"
"No, no."
Tian Ying'er waved her hands repeatedly and said seriously, "I just met someone who needed my help. I'm helping the weak! I'm doing justice!"
Sang Zhixia looked at Tian Ying'er, whose face was full of righteousness but whose eyes were full of innocence, and thought to herself that the truth of your support for the weak was questionable.
The reason why Tian Ying'er's biological father insisted on releasing her only after confirming that she was traveling with Chen Jing'an has finally been found.
This girl can fight.
But the girl is a little naive and silly!
Sang Zhixia had some doubts in her heart, but she was still very kind and passed over the matter of Tingyue Tower. She just said that next time she should not bring Xu Mingyang and others to make trouble again, and asked Huashan to give Tian Ying'er a silver note of 10,000 taels on the spot.
Sang Zhixia took out a small purse and said, "The banknotes are in whole bills. It's inconvenient for you to spend them outside. Here are some small changes. Take them to get by today, and I'll give you the rest tomorrow."
Tian Ying'er looked at Sang Zhixia with watery eyes, rushed over and gave Sang Zhixia a tight bear hug, saying happily: "Sister, you are so good to me!"
"From now on, I'll listen to whatever you say. I'll hit wherever my sister points, and I'll definitely not hit anyone's legs if they break their arms!"
Sang Zhixia nodded happily, "That would be great."
"Okay, I've been in Nanyun for a while now. You know how to find me. If you encounter any difficulties again, just come over."
Tian Ying'er happily left with the banknotes in her hands.
As soon as Tian Ying'er left, Chen Jing'an emerged from under the eaves like a giant upside-down bat.
Upon learning that Tian Ying'er came to Sang Zhixia to borrow money, except for Xu Yu who had no interest in watching and had important things to do, Chen Jing'an, unwilling to be lonely, brought the two little hooligans who had been beaten and sneaked over to eavesdrop and have fun.
After listening to the whole thing, the three people who came had mysterious expressions.
Xu Mingyang and Sang Yanyou really couldn't believe that there were people who were so stupid and heartless.
He looks quite smart and is quite good at fighting.
How come this is still...
Not smart???
Chen Jingan's face was filled with disbelief: "Sister-in-law, you're giving her the money now?"
Sang Zhixia sat there without moving.
Chen Jingan's eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost: "This idiot has obviously been cheated and is still helping others raise money. Sister-in-law, you..."
"She's probably been scammed, but if you tell her now, will she believe it?"
Sang Zhixia watched Xu Mingyang and Sang Yanyou popping out of the window like moles, and was inexplicably reminded of Xu Yu's similar behavior. She wondered if it was a family tradition, and then sighed, "Why don't you just go and tell her directly?"
Chen Jingan shuddered: "No, no, no."
"This delicate-looking Yama Luo treats me like the murderer of my father. If I go there, won't she hack me to death?"
Sang Zhixia couldn't help but laugh.
Chen Jingan bared his teeth and took a breath: "But no matter how big the grudge is, you can't take it out on money."
"The things she was wearing before were not only priceless, but also worth tens of thousands of words. And now she's alone after just a few days. How much has she been cheated out of?"
"Is the head on the neck just for show?"
Sang Zhixia really didn't know how to respond to this. After a moment of silence, she said, "How about I leave this matter to you to investigate?"
Sang Zhixia was also very suspicious about the people Tian Ying'er was rescuing.
But Xu Yu was about to make a big move, and Sang Zhixia had no time to take care of other things, so Chen Jing'an was the most suitable person to go.
Chen Jingan's face was full of disgust: "She is going to kill me, why should I care whether she lives or dies?"
"Then why are you asking so many questions?"
Sang Zhixia jokingly said, "If you don't care, I'll let Lingchu investigate. He's in Nanyun anyway, so it won't be difficult to find out a rough idea."
"after all……"
"This is Pavilion Master Tian's favorite child, and she came with me. If anything happens to her, it will be difficult to explain to Pavilion Master Tian when I see her again."
Chen Jing'an curled her lips as if she had no objection to Sang Zhixia's arrangement.
But as soon as Ling Chu walked out, Chen Jing'an ran after him.
Sang Yanyou squatted beside Sang Zhixia like a puppy, applying medicine to himself with a wronged look on his face. Seeing this, he bared his teeth and said, "Brother Chen, are you worried?"
"Maybe he's going there to pick up some jokes?"
Xu Mingyang lay on a bench made of two stools, enduring the pain of Diancui applying medicine to him, and said viciously, "How can I miss this kind of fun that can make me laugh for the rest of my life?!"
"If it weren't for me..."
"Young Master."
When Xu Mingyang heard the sound of the painted fan and Xu Yu's footsteps approaching, his face twitched and he immediately changed his words.
"If it weren't for the excruciating pain in my arm, I would have burned the midnight oil, stayed up all night, and written a 10,000-word self-reflection essay to show my determination to turn over a new leaf and start anew. I'd then give it to my big brother for his comments!"
Sang Yanyou: “…”
