Chapter 107 A Gentleman Loves Money and Earns It Properly



How could she forget?

Zhou Bai, the second elder brother of the Zhou family and the owner of this courtyard, has been doing business for many years and his family background is much richer than Zhou Song's!

Qingchan was still guarding Zhou Song's yard, but she didn't know that her princess had already gone straight to the cross-yard.

Si Jinxing sneaked into a courtyard where the lights were still on. There was an old lady keeping watch under the porch. It seemed that this should be the courtyard of Zhou Bai's wife, Lu.

It's the middle of the night and you're still not asleep?

She quietly approached the window frame and heard a quarrel in the room.

"Hasn't I been enough for you? You actually did that with Big Brother!?"

"How can you be so nice to me? You're away from home year after year! Do you know how much pain I feel?!"

"I went out into business for the sake of this family, didn't I? Whatever you want, I'll give it to you every time!"

"For this family? Do you think I don't know that you spent fifty thousand taels on your sister? And you still say it's all for me?!"

Si Jinxing was a little annoyed by the two people arguing. Just as she was about to go look for the storehouse, she suddenly heard the words "50,000 taels"...

She remembered Bai Xi saying that one of the black-clad killers in the forest confessed and said that the other party had offered 50,000 taels to buy her life!

I see!

She said, how could Zhou Song have such a rich family that he would spend 50,000 taels of silver to hire a killer?

It turns out that the one who was behind the money was Zhou Bai!

Si Jinxing's eyes darkened. Great, Zhou really has two good brothers!

The quarrel between the two people in the room ended with Zhou Song giving him a loud slap.

He grabbed Lu's collar viciously, glared at her, and shouted, "You bitch, don't even think about having a good life in this life!"

After saying that, he loosened his arms and gave Lu a hard push.

Lu stumbled back a few steps and fell to the ground. She subconsciously touched her lower abdomen...

Zhou Song strode out of the room, locked the door behind him, and turned to the old woman on guard in the corridor and shouted coldly:

"No one is allowed to approach the lady's yard without my permission!"

Si Jinxing, who was hiding in the dark, watched this scene and thought, Zhou Bai is truly a coward!

It has been so long since his wife was slept with by his eldest brother, but he just scolded his wife in the house. Why didn't he go and beat Zhou Song up?

When she saw Zhou Bai leaving, she hurriedly followed him.

Zhou Bai returned to his yard. Perhaps he was really tired, so he fell asleep.

Si Jinxing took the opportunity to find his warehouse and emptied it out without leaving a single item behind.

She looked at the dozens of boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, silver bills and gold notes in the backyard, and her eyes were shining with gold. She was rich, rich!

A gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. This trip tonight was worth it!

She went to Zhou's mother's yard again and copied everything, and also saw several items of Lan's dowry...

I heard that this old guy was so angry about what Zhou Song did that he became paralyzed in bed.

Si Jinxing didn't feel sorry for her, because she raised three good children who were harmful to others!

Finally, she returned to Lu's courtyard. The night watchwoman in the corridor had already fallen asleep in the corner.

She used the key she got from Zhou Bai to gently open Lu's door, then slipped away into the space.

She originally wanted to capture Lu and bring her to Zhou Song's yard, but now letting her make her own choice, wouldn't it be more interesting?

Si Jinxing returned with a full load and went back to Zhou Songyuan in high spirits. The usually calm and composed Qing Chan was already so anxious that he was about to jump up and down!

"Princess, where have you been? Do you know what time it is?"

Si Jinxing knew that he was in the wrong, so he took Qingchan's hand and said with a smile:

"Sister Qingchan, I was wrong. Tomorrow, I'll make you pizza. Come on, I'm sleepy."

How could Qing Chan dare to be angry with his own princess? Seeing her like this, he said nothing more. He held her slender waist, jumped a few times, and left the Minister's Mansion.

Of course, we still have to eat pizza tomorrow.

I really don’t know how our princess made that sticky and stretchy naan. It’s so delicious.

The next morning, the morning light was dim and the weather was clear. The few drops of rain last night only slightly wet the ground.

After breakfast, Si Jinxing left Suihua Garden. While walking on the corridor, she met Si Junshan head-on.

He was actually thinner than when he was seriously injured. His eye sockets were sunken and there were a few strands of silver hair at his temples.

Si Jinxing lowered her eyes, not wanting to look at him anymore, and walked past him without stopping.

If he had been willing, what happened back then would not have dragged on until today.

If he had been willing, the Lan family wouldn't have died, and the original owner wouldn't have died either...

She gave him a chance...

Si Junshan opened his mouth but didn't say a word.

He watched the thin figure gradually disappear into the distance, and everything in front of him became blurry.

It's too late after all...

Is this what it feels like to be ignored? And he had ignored her for ten years...

He couldn't imagine how a five-year-old child had come this far and how much hardship he had endured...

Si Junshan murmured, "She won't forgive me. Her mother... I'm afraid she hates me to death..."

He looked at the figure until he could no longer see it, then he withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Ling Su, saying:

"Have you arranged the staff?"

Ling Su immediately said solemnly: "Everything has been arranged. We can start as soon as he leaves Jianzhou!"

Si Junshan then nodded, with a gloomy light in his eyes, and said: "Okay!"

The carriage went all the way north. When the captain at the city gate saw the carriage, he immediately recognized it. It was this carriage that King Mo Ying personally welcomed the night before.

He hurriedly asked respectfully, "Excuse me, are you the county lady?"

Qing Chan opened the window curtain and said, "That's right."

The captain at the city gate waved his hand and asked the soldiers who were checking the carriages and horses to open the city gate and let them pass.

Now that autumn has arrived, it is very cool.

Bai Xi let out a "whoosh" and stopped the carriage beside the official road. He then opened the door and said with a smile:

"Princess, we have arrived just in time. Come and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing hurriedly opened the window curtains and looked to the north, where she saw three carriages rushing towards the city gate.

This should be the Lan family’s carriage, right?

She hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, but suddenly heard the sound of wheels rolling behind her.

Si Jinxing turned her head and saw the person in the carriage lifting the window curtain and looking in her direction.

That man was Zhou Song’s son, Zhou Lin.

She had met this man before and went to the general's mansion to visit his aunt, Zhou.

Si Jinxing suddenly remembered that after she and Qi Mo left the western suburbs camp and returned home, Si Junshan came to question her. Was it this person who accused her of eloping with a strange man?

Her eyes flashed, her sleeves fluttered, and an anesthetic needle flew out towards a horse with a "whoosh".

Immediately, the carriage that Zhou Lin was riding in overturned to the ground in an instant, and he rolled and crawled out of the carriage.

In a short while, the three carriages coming from the opposite direction had arrived.
