Lan Yin's eyes lit up, and she said in surprise, "So this is what the young lady meant by open-hearted?"
Shen Ningyuan nodded and said slowly: “So, you don’t have to worry at all, I will easily agree to any request of the Ji family.”
"That's good," Lan Yin breathed a sigh of relief. "After hearing what the young lady said just now, I thought you would really soften your heart and agree to Chen's request to borrow money."
Shen Ningyuan said nonchalantly, "It's just a small amount of money. There's nothing wrong with borrowing it, but before that, we have to find out who's hiding behind the Marquis' Mansion!"
"Let's go back first. Once Chen finishes her business, she will come find me."
After saying that, Shen Ningyuan left Chen's yard without looking back.
-
Fanghua Garden.
Chen Moer was wearing a black suit and standing outside the screen with her head lowered.
Then, a gentle and low voice came from behind the screen: "Are you saying that the people who came to the Marquis' Mansion to collect debts today were all arranged by Shen Ningyuan?"
Chen Moer nodded and said, "Your Highness, yes."
"There were so many people coming to collect debts this morning, why did you choose to focus on Shen the butcher?" the person behind the screen asked again.
Chen Moer analyzed and explained: "Other people just followed the trend to collect debts, but Shen Butcher was the most targeted, and almost every word he said was inflammatory. So after the debt collectors left, I followed Shen Butcher, and sure enough, I saw Shen Ningyuan go to see Shen Butcher."
"You are quite attentive." The person behind the screen praised softly.
Hearing this, Chen Moer paused.
Having served this man for many years, she immediately noticed the rebuke in his words.
He immediately knelt on the ground with a plop and said in a deep voice: "I know I am wrong, please punish me, Your Highness!"
"What's wrong?"
Chen Moer explained, "My mistake was not to show up so casually, not to help the Marquis' Mansion resolve today's turmoil, and not to involve Song Yuanqing."
"It seems that you also know that you are wrong."
As he was speaking, a slender, handsome and feminine man walked out from behind the screen and came to Chen Moer.
He spoke slowly, "I know you care about the Ji family. After all, you've been living in the Marquis' Mansion since your parents passed away. But you also need to know that your most important task right now is to hide yourself well and keep an eye on the Ji family's every move for me, rather than stepping out rashly."
Chen Mo'er didn't dare to look up and said, "Your Highness, Mo'er knows her mistake. Next time, next time, I won't dare to do it again."
"Since you know you're wrong, you must be punished."
The man said, lowering his eyes to look at the top of Chen Moer's head, and asked in a hoarse voice: "You know what to do."
Hearing this, Chen Moer suddenly looked up and looked at the man with trembling eyes.
Seeing the other party's determined expression, Chen Moer bit her lower lip lightly and reached out with trembling hands to the exquisite jade belt around the man's waist.
With a "click", the complicated knot of the belt was untied and the man's underwear slipped off.
Chen Moer placed her hands on both sides of the man's waist, slowly moved her head closer, opened her mouth and took the thing within reach.
"hiss……"
The man let out a hoarse, pleasurable inhale.
Chen Moer worked even harder, trying her best to please the man.
Time passed minute by minute, and the fishy and sweet liquid slid into the throat.
Chen Moer's hands loosened and she fell to the ground exhausted.
The man reached out his hand, touched Chen Moer's chin, and said gently, "Moer is so good."
Then he added, "Mo'er is the most obedient girl I have ever met."
Chen Moer didn't say anything and slowly wiped the man clean.
"Mo'er, something bad has happened!"
When they were halfway through tidying up, Chen's anxious voice suddenly came from outside the yard.
Chen Moer paused and subconsciously tried to stand up, but the man held her shoulders.
The deep voice sounded again: "Mo'er, have you forgotten again? After you are done, you must clean up this temple before you can do anything else."
Chen Moer didn't dare to go against the other party's wishes, so she had to kneel back down and continue cleaning the man.
At this time, Chen had already arrived at the door and raised her hand to knock on it.
She shouted loudly: "Mo'er, are you in there? Auntie has something important to discuss with you!"
After hearing what Chen said, Chen Moer became even more nervous, and both her hands began to tremble.
The man's gentle words rang in his ears: "Don't be nervous, take your time."
Upon hearing this, Chen Moer forced herself to calm down and continued to clean up the man.
Outside the door, Chen saw no response from inside the house and tried to push the door open.
After pushing it twice but finding it wouldn't open, Chen turned around and walked down the stairs.
Just then, Chen Moer finally cleaned up.
After helping the man tie his belt, Chen Moer stood up, walked to the door, and slowly opened it.
When the door opened, the man had already returned behind the screen.
At this time, Chen had already walked to the gate of the yard.
After hearing the sound of the door opening, he hurriedly turned and walked towards Chen Moer.
Staring at Chen Mo'er, she asked, "Mo'er, I've been knocking for a long time and calling out several times. Why don't you open the door for me? What are you doing in there?"
Chen Moer swallowed, forced a smile, and said slowly, "Aunt, what happened this morning happened too suddenly. Those debt collectors were so aggressive. I was a little scared. I've been resting since I came back. I was sleeping when you knocked on the door just now."
Chen looked at Chen Mo'er suspiciously, "Really, just sleeping?"
Chen Moer's smile became even stiffer. "Auntie, how could I lie to you? What can I do alone in the room?"
"That's true."
Chen Moer hurriedly changed the subject, "Aunt, please tell me what you want to discuss with me. You seem quite anxious."
"Oh, yes, yes," Chen suddenly grabbed Chen Mo'er's hand and said anxiously, "The matter of the Marquis' Mansion repaying the money has been settled!"
Chen Moer frowned slightly, "But I remember that the Marquis' Mansion owed those shops nearly fifty thousand taels. Now the Marquis' Mansion's accounts are in deficit, and Chen Ningyuan is holding on to the dowry and won't let go. Where can we find the money to pay it back?"
"I took the money from Shen Ningyuan's pocket at that time!" Chen was so excited that her eyebrows were dancing.
Chen Moer frowned even tighter, and asked solemnly, "But Chen Ningyuan has already drawn a clear line with the Marquis' Mansion. Will she be willing to help the Marquis' Mansion pay back the debt?"
Chen shook her head and said, "Of course she won't repay the debt to the Marquisate willingly. She has conditions!"
"What conditions?"
Chen Moer's eyebrows twitched, and she always felt that something was wrong.
Without thinking, Chen said straight to the point: "To be honest, Chen Ningyuan has taken a fancy to the Fanghua Garden where you live and wants to use this yard to grow flowers."
As she spoke, Chen eagerly grasped Chen Mo'er's hand, "Mo'er, Chen Ningyuan has said that as long as you move out of Fanghua Garden, she will pay back the money on behalf of the Marquis' Mansion!"
