Shen Jingze first glanced at the purse in his arm, then looked at Ning Wan who took a big step back quickly.
"What do you mean, Miss Ning?"
It's just a sum of money, is it worth her repeated rejection?
Shen Jingze also lost his temper. Anyone would feel uncomfortable if their kindness was taken for granted.
Ning Wan shook her head silently.
[Host, please find a solution quickly. If you don't explain, the male protagonist will misunderstand.]
Misunderstand?
What misunderstanding?
“Mr. Shen, if I accept this money, my fourth brother will be angry.”
Ning Wan hesitated and brought up her fourth brother.
But these words were like a fuse that directly detonated Shen Jingze.
"So, Miss Ning thinks Chu Si will misunderstand our relationship because of this?"
Ning Wan remained calm, but took a step back.
After thinking for a while, Ning Wan nodded stiffly.
Shen Jingze was probably really angry.
He actually calls Fourth Brother by his name, but Fourth Brother didn’t provoke him, right?
"I won't tell your fourth brother."
"And these ten taels are nothing to me."
Shen Jingze still wanted to fight for it again, at least to prevent him from being worse than Cen who was trying to plot against her.
Ning Wan shook her head again.
Shen Jingze's arrogant tone reminded her of the time when Chu Si came down the mountain to give her money.
Five taels of silver, used to buy food, clothes, and rouge and powder.
Although Ning Wan was not clear about the prices at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Qi was clear.
So she ignored Shen Jingze who was watching and didn't want to care whether Shen Jingze could hear her or not, and pulled Chu Si aside.
"I'll give you ten taels. Take me out for a meal first, and then use the remaining money to buy me a villa."
Ning Wan originally wanted to say something to Chu Si, but she didn't expect Chu Si to directly snatch the silver from her hand.
Before Ning Wan could react, Chu Si smiled:
"Thank you, Junior Sister, for considering Fourth Brother."
Ning Wan was a little confused, "What does Fourth Brother mean by this?"
"Didn't Junior Sister say that she would give Fourth Brother ten taels of silver and then help you buy a house?"
When Chu Si said this, he chuckled again: "Fourth brother agreed, plus this five taels, Junior Sister still owes me five taels."
Ning Wan had never seen anyone as shameless as Chu Si.
But she couldn't find any reason to refute it.
Ning Wan, who had intended to just choke back, unexpectedly suffered the consequences.
But Chu Si said in an extremely excessive way: "Junior sister, remember this, if someone gives you money in the future, you must be careful."
"If it's something like today, you can just talk to Fourth Brother."
Ning Wan took a long time to come back to her senses. Looking at Chu Si, who was smiling brightly, she said with a somewhat pitiful tone:
"I know I was wrong. Can you return the money to me, Brother?"
Xiao Qi in the space did not expect that the host, who has always been wise, would also encounter such a situation of being cheated by others.
Chu Si is extremely principled.
After hearing Ning Wan's words, he first frowned deliberately. When Ning Wan thought he had a chance, Chu Si spoke slowly:
"Junior sister, if I give you this money again, it won't be a repayment, but a loan."
Ning Wan: ...You're doomed to die, right?
"Fourth brother, fourth brother, my good fourth brother, you gave it all to me. Do you have the nerve to ask for it back?"
"No, brothers should settle accounts clearly, don't try to trick me."
Chu Si's blunt refusal immediately distanced him from Ning Wan.
When Ning Wan turned around, she saw Chu Si and Shen Jingze having a happy conversation.
"Fourth Brother said this is a matter of principle."
Ning Wan didn't want to be so disrespectful to Shen Jingze, but this was her mission.
Besides, she had five taels of silver, which was enough.
Shen Jingze laughed out of anger.
He looked at the other five taels of silver in Ning Wan's hand, then at the purse in his arm.
He pinched it tightly with his bony fingers, lifted it up, and stuffed it into his sleeve.
Ning Wan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this scene.
But the next moment, Ning Wan felt her heart being firmly grasped in someone's palm.
I don’t even dare to jump openly.
[Host, the male protagonist crushed the ten taels of silver.]
[And it was the kind that was broken into pieces and couldn't even be picked up.]
Xiao Qi said the most frightening words in the calmest tone.
"Xiao Qi."
Ning Wan took a deep breath.
[Host, what's wrong? ]
Xiao Qi was a little confused, but still asked with some caution.
"There's no need to tell me about this kind of thing in the future."
Ning Wan just felt a little overwhelmed.
Telling her about this kind of thing would only scare her. What else could she say?
Xiao Qi, who can hear the host's inner monologue: ...Okay, next time it will try its best to help the host filter out this information.
Shen Jingze thought that no one else knew that he had crushed the silver.
After doing all this, he suppressed his anger and spoke slowly:
"I understand."
After saying this, Shen Jingze turned around without waiting for Ning Wan to reply.
Shen Jingze's back looked very thin. After walking about five steps, he suddenly stopped, supported himself against the wall with his left hand, covered his mouth with his right hand, and started a new round of coughing.
[Host, the male protagonist hasn't taken his medicine this morning.]
Looking at this scene, Xiao Qi finally remembered the most important thing.
Ning Wan glanced at her five taels of silver.
Okay, time to find Chu Si.
People always have to pay the price for what they say.
Inside the inn, Chu Si was sitting on the first floor of the inn, feeling depressed.
He only slept for half an hour longer, and when he woke up, he found that his silly sister had been abducted.
And that person was even a patient.
There were more and more people on the street, and Chu Si did not dare to look for people blindly.
I always find a position with a good view, staring at the busy street, waiting for the two familiar figures.
Because he knew Shen Jingze's health too well, Chu Si even had a bowl of medicine warmed on a charcoal stove on his desk.
Another half hour passed.
Finally, someone came to the door of the inn.
"Don't come over here yet!"
Before Shen Jingze and Ning Wan could explain, Chu Si's voice came over.
Ning Wan instinctively shrank behind Shen Jingze.
But Shen Jingze also had a vengeful heart, and he pulled the person behind him aside without leaving any room for maneuver.
"What are you hiding from?"
Ning Wan was visibly stunned when she heard the light laughter.
How could this person repay kindness with enmity?
