After borrowing the money, Li Zhiyi left immediately.

But for Qian Ruoyu, fifty taels of silver was neither too much nor too little.

Just when Qian Ruoyu was about to call Yan'er and Jinlianhua, Jinlianhua did not appear immediately.

This is a bit strange.

Before Qian Ruoyu could speak, Yan'er hurriedly explained.

"My lady, Sister Lianhua has already set out. She said she is going to look for those caravans."

After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly.

If Jin Lianhua was not there, Qian Ruoyu naturally would not plan to leave the palace.

But less than half an hour later, Li Zhiyi returned to Qian Ruoyu's Yueya Pavilion again.

As soon as Li Zhiyi appeared, she hurriedly tried to look for Qian Ruoyu.

Yan'er sent Li Zhiyi to Qian Ruoyu's door. Although the door was closed at this time, Li Zhiyi did not dare to say a word, obviously she had something to ask of Qian Ruoyu.

As soon as Qian Ruoyu opened the door, she saw Li Zhiyi again. This was the second time she saw her in one day.

Before this, Li Zhiyi had no choice but to come to his Yueya Pavilion. After seeing her again, Qian Ruoyu did not say a word.

Instead, he waited for Li Zhiyi to speak first.

“This…I…”

Seeing Li Zhiyi being so shy, Qian Ruoyu could only say helplessly.

"Just tell me what you want to say. If you want to tell me that your husband can't pay you back, that's fine. Just tell me quickly."

After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Li Zhiyi shook her head and spoke anxiously.

"I will definitely pay you back whatever silver I owe you...but...but this time is different...after they took the fifty taels of gold, they didn't return Dan'er to me...they said..."

"They said they wanted Dan'er to come back, and they wanted me to agree to two conditions. One was to pay another fifty taels of silver in interest... otherwise they would never let me go..."

"The second condition..." When she said this, Li Zhiyi looked at Qian Ruoyu nervously and fearfully, and finally said helplessly, "They said that it would be okay for me to accompany them for one night..."

“Bold!”

When Qian Ruoyu suddenly heard these words, he said them out loud at the first moment, very naturally.

Qian Ruoyu's two words also frightened Li Zhiyi.

Li Zhiyi didn't know why Qian Ruoyu was angry. Instead, she looked at her timidly, fearing that there was no way to resolve the matter.

"Or...or else, sister, please lend me another fifty taels of silver. With this fifty taels of silver, Dan'er will definitely be returned..."

"Besides, after this matter is resolved, I will definitely pay you back next month. At worst, I can just sell my jewelry..."

When she said this, Li Zhiyi actually looked so pitiful that even Qian Ruoyu almost laughed out loud after seeing it.

But Qian Ruoyu was angry about the second condition mentioned by those people, which was to let Li Zhiyi accompany them for one night.

Isn't this clearly an attempt to trip up the prince?

If Li Zhiyi really compensated these people, even for half an hour, then the rumors would spread throughout the capital, and then not only would the prince's face turn green, but the entire palace would also be embarrassed.

"These damn guys are really so bold that they dare to come up with such a condition. It doesn't matter if they want 100 taels or 200 taels, but they actually come up with such a shameless condition!"

After suddenly hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Li Zhiyi realized why Qian Ruoyu was angry.

Logically, since the two of them had a feud, Qian Ruoyu should have felt happy when she heard about this, but instead, she was angry, which surprised Li Zhiyi.

Qian Ruoyu continued.

"Where are those people now? Tell me, let's go find them and argue with them now!"

Li Zhiyi shook her head in fear, as if going to find those people was a very dangerous thing. Therefore, Li Zhiyi didn't dare to tell Qian Ruoyu the address at all, and even said at this time.

"Sister... It's not that I don't want to tell you, Dan'er's matter is very important. If you get caught up in it by mistake, I'll be finished. Whether Dan'er can come back or not is just a matter of money..."

But Qian Ruoyu shook her head and mocked Li Zhiyi in her heart. It seemed that she was not only stupid, but also believed those people.

She said coldly.

"Don't dream, my silly sister!"

"They want more than just a shadow. The principal is fifty taels of silver, and the interest is another fifty taels of silver. Aren't they playing tricks on you?"

"If you really took the interest of fifty taels of silver, they might have even more terrible demands. Besides, if they really asked you to accompany them, would you still be willing?"

"You are the concubine of Prince Ye. If I go to accompany them officially, not only will the prince lose face, but you will even have to die to pay for your crime!"

The word "death" immediately made Li Zhiyi feel scared.

Li Zhiyi quickly shook her head, with the corners of her mouth trembling constantly, and she looked very scared.

Qian Ruoyu still spoke calmly.

"Tell me the address, and I'll take you to find those people right away. I want to see how brave they are!"

After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Li Zhiyi had no choice but to speak.

"They are in... Honghua Tower in the south of the city..."

When hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu only felt somewhat familiar, and Yan'er beside him reminded her.

"My lady, Honghualou is a place of prostitution. It is full of gossips and is quite dangerous... I heard that there are many bad guys there."

After hearing what Yan'er said, Qian Ruoyu just nodded and didn't take this place seriously.

After all, for Qian Ruoyu, he must bring Dan'er back today no matter what, even if she is Li Zhiyi's man, but this matter cannot be let go so easily.

Qian Ruoyu wanted to know how powerful the Honghua Tower was, as even Li Zhiyi would suffer losses there.

However, at this time, Lianhua was not there. If she went like this, it would be a little dangerous, but Qian Ruoyu could not wait for this to happen.

Qian Ruoyu took Li Zhiyi with him directly and only left a few words for Yan'er before leaving.

But just when Qian Ruoyu reached the halfway point, the Golden Lotus passed by Qian Ruoyu. The Golden Lotus suddenly came back, came in front of Qian Ruoyu, and lowered her head towards Qian Ruoyu.

"Your Highness, we haven't made any progress on your investigation yet. I'll go back later to have some tea and then continue the investigation immediately!"

But Qian Ruoyu grabbed Jin Lianhua and brought her to Honghua Tower in the south of the city.

Before reaching Honghualou in the south of the city, I could already smell the fragrant aroma coming from the corner.

They were just some extremely cheap smells. It was indeed the place of fireworks in Honghualou. I could smell that smell before I even got close. Qian Ruoyu didn't know how Dan'er had established any relationship with the people here.
