Chapter 38



"Get lost." Tang Yi's voice was as cold as ice.

the other side.

Qin Ruchu ran back home like a gust of wind, and she looked as if there was a ghost chasing her.

System: "Su, why did you run away alone?"

If you want to run, you should also take Tang Yiqian with you.

It was not easy for him to sleep with her, and if she missed this opportunity there would never be a next time.

Qin Ruchu: [Shut up.]

The system feels wronged: "Did I say something wrong?"

She was the one who wanted to sleep with Tang Yiqian, so what's wrong with it reminding her?

Qin Ruchu: "Your fault is that you talk too much."

She did want to sleep with Tang Yiqian, but that didn't mean she wanted to sleep with Tang Yiqian in a carriage, nor did it mean she wanted to see others watching her sleeping with Tang Yiqian.

"Oh." The system replied, not quite understanding what was going on.

"Young Madam, Madam asks you to come over." A maid suddenly blocked Qin Ruchu's way.

Qin Ruchu recognized her as a maidservant of the Marquis's wife, and raised her eyebrows like distant mountains, "Lead the way."

The maid bowed, turned around and walked in front.

Qin Ruchu followed behind, walked through the front hall, along the corridor, and came to the courtyard where the wife of the marquis lived.

The yard is full of precious flowers and plants, with flowers in full bloom and butterflies flying, making you feel like you are in a painting.

Qin Ruchu took a look and then looked away.

The maid stopped at the door.

Qin Ruchu opened the pearl curtain and went in. Sitting at the top was a noble lady dressed in jewels and precious stones. Needless to say, she was the Marquis's wife.

Sitting below her was a woman about ten years old with a sharp face.

Qin Ruchu learned from her memory that the other party was Fang Qianshu, the wife of Mrs. Hou's younger brother and Tang Yiqian's aunt.

"Mother, aunt." Qin Ruchu stepped forward and greeted with a gentle smile on her face.

"Hey, Chuchu, you're back? We haven't seen you for a while, and you've become an official now." Fang Qianshu said sarcastically.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, who thinks highly of me." Qin Ruchu spoke with great care and economy of words.

She had nothing to say to her, and her hostility towards her was almost coming out.

"Your cousin is still idle at home, you should also get him an official position." Fang Qianshu made a request.

Qin Ruchu didn't say anything, just stared at her face.

"What are you looking at?" Fang Qianshu touched her face.

Is there something on her face?

"Look at your face." Qin Ruchu said bluntly.

"Is this how you talk to your elders?" Fang Qianshu slammed the table.

"I'm sorry, the truth is always so unpleasant. As an elder, please bear with me for a while." Qin Ruchu's voice was soft, perfectly interpreting what it meant to say the sharpest words in the softest tone.

Fang Qianshu was so angry that she fell backwards: "You..."

"Well, why bother with a kid?" The marquis patted her hands to comfort her.

"I don't care, you have to compensate me." Fang Qianshu took the opportunity to make a request.

"I..." The Marquis's wife had a bitter face and was speechless.

"You don't want to?" Fang Qianshu stood up suddenly, put her hands on her waist, and glared at Madam Hou.

Qin Ruchu's eyes flickered between the two of them: "System, what compensation does my aunt want?"

System: "Of course it's money."

Qin Ruchu: [She’s quite good at asking for it.]

Just as she finished complaining in her heart, she saw the Marquis's wife turned around and looked at her, saying with a stern face: "You just bumped into your aunt, and I will punish you by paying her 1,000 taels of silver as compensation."

"What did she say?" Qin Ruchu asked sharply.

She suspected that there was something wrong with her ears and that she was hallucinating.

The system repeated with a gloating tone: "She asked you to pay 1,000 taels of silver to make amends to Fang Qianshu."

"You're dreaming." Qin Ruchu pouted back rudely.

Not to mention that she didn't have 1,000 taels, even if she did, she couldn't take it out.

1,000 taels of silver is equivalent to about 6 million yuan in RMB. 6 million, even if Fang Qianshu is sold, she is not worth that much money.

Can't she keep it for herself?

And make her pay.

She won't pay, what can she do to her?

The Marquis's face flushed with anger at her vulgar words, but she was still rational and knew that business was more important. "You don't even listen to me?"

If she had been out of money, why would she have resorted to such a desperate measure?

"Mom, it's not that I don't want to listen, it's that I don't have any money." Qin Ruchu spread her hands.

"Then how much do you have?" Fang Qianshu looked at her with burning eyes.

"A few hundred taels..."

"A few hundred taels will be fine, just give it to me." She didn't mind.

"Aunt, I haven't finished yet. I originally had several hundred taels, but I spent them all." Qin Ruchu lowered her eyebrows and said embarrassedly.

"What did you buy? How many hundred taels did you spend?" Fang Qianshu asked.

"I don't know. I buy here and there, and the money is all gone before I know it." Qin Ruchu worried.

"She's such a waste, such a waste. We shouldn't keep a daughter-in-law like her. Let Brother Qian divorce her." Fang Qianshu turned to Madam Hou and said.

"It's not my aunt's turn to decide our family's affairs." Tang Yiqian appeared at the door at some point.

He was dressed in a white brocade robe, with a cool and clear temperament, like an immortal.

Step by step, he walked towards her with a graceful demeanor.

"I wonder why my aunt came here today?" Tang Yiqian sat down next to Qin Ruchu, his black eyes shining with a cold jade, and he looked at Fang Qianshu expressionlessly.

The strong pressure made Fang Qianshu dare not act recklessly. She shrank her neck and said, "I came here to borrow money. Your uncle lost in gambling, and the casino wants 1,000 taels to redeem him, otherwise they will cut off his fingers."

I said it was a loan, but in fact I never intended to return it. However, it would sound too harsh to say directly that I took it, so I just said it was a loan.

Qin Ruchu: "So I almost became the victim? My uncle lost the bet and wanted me to pay him back?"

System: "Yes."

Qin Ruchu: [On what basis?]

Since he is your uncle, how can you stand by and watch him die without helping him? But before she could say this, Madam Hou said, "Qian'er, quickly take out 1,000 taels and give them to your aunt."

The daughter-in-law is unreliable, so I have to rely on my son.

Tang Yiqian looked indifferent: "Mother, uncle is no longer a child. He should clean up the mess he made himself."

"But……"

"Or does mother want me to tell mother?" Tang Yiqian's words were full of warnings.

"no."

The Marquis hates her helping her parents' family the most. If he knew about it, he would definitely punish her. She didn't want to be grounded.

Seeing that Madam Hou was suppressed by Tang Yiqian, Fang Qianshu asked, "So, Qian'er, are you going to watch your own uncle die without helping him?" She emphasized the word "own uncle".

"That's right, I just want to watch someone die without helping." There was a coldness in Tang Yiqian's black eyes.

His uncle is incompetent at everything he does and is always the troublemaker. He had just promised him last time that he would never gamble again. Since he didn't keep his promise, he should bear the consequences himself.
