Zu An quickly pulled her back: "It's my fault. The main problem is that I'm also in the Chu family now. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken, so I was thinking about how to get through this difficult time, not for anyone else as you think..."
He also felt that he was really a jerk. He had just finished being intimate with one woman and then asked about how to save another woman, even though their families were mortal enemies.
Zheng Dan snorted coldly: "You can get out of here at all. Why do you have to stay in the Chu family now?"
Zu An sighed: "Then, if I leave the Chu family, do you think I can go to your Zheng family?"
Zheng Dan opened her mouth, but considering her situation, she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Zuan said, "I won't let you help me for nothing. If you provide me with information about that batch of salt permits, I'll return this to you."
As he spoke, he took out an IOU for 500,000 taels of silver. It was from the family competition that Zu'an won at the gambling den. At that time, the other party paid 500,000 taels, and the remaining 500,000 taels were written as an IOU.
Zheng Dan's expression was somewhat unnatural: "What does this IOU have to do with me?"
Zuan said with a smile, "My dear Miss Zheng, we're all so familiar with each other now, there's no need to hide anything. I've already investigated the relationship between that gambling den and your Zheng family."
Zheng Dan snatched the IOU away and snorted, "What is this, payment for prostitution?"
Zuan: "..."
"Miss, don't be so rude. What we have is clearly love."
"Do you even believe in love yourself?" Zheng Dan sneered repeatedly.
Zuan held her hands, looking tenderly into her eyes: "I believe you!"
Zheng Dan blushed: "You rascal, you always try to seduce me with your good looks!"
Zu An sighed: "I don't want to be enemies with your Zheng family either. Don't worry, I will never do anything to harm the interests of the Zheng family."
"Hmph, helping the Chu family is tantamount to harming the Zheng family," Zheng Dan said with great dissatisfaction. However, he still said, "I don't know where that batch of salt permits is. Chen Xuan wouldn't be stupid enough to give us the salt permits in the first place. You know what happened later."
"I suspect that the salt permits are with the Black Wind Stronghold's men."
Zu An was taken aback, remembering the people he had seen with Chen Xuan at Shenxianju.
"Do you have any news about them?" Zu'an asked. After all, Zheng Dan was once the leader of a gang. Although the Giant Whale Gang had been destroyed, she must still have her own information channels.
"No." Zheng Dan sneered. "What, do you think you've lost out on 500,000 taels?"
“Of course not,” Zuan embraced him. “It wouldn’t be a loss for you to give it to you for free, especially since you also learned that the salt permits are in the hands of the Black Wind Stronghold group.”
"You're just saying that, but you don't mean it." Zheng Dan's expression softened slightly.
Seeing this, Zu'an used sweet words to coax Zheng Dan back into a smile.
After school, Zu'an and Chu Huanzhao went home.
All the way there, Chu Huanzhao kept asking, "I heard you went to see that woman Zheng Dan today?"
"You're quite well-informed," Zu'an said, somewhat surprised.
"That's right, don't you know my status in the class?" Chu Huanzhao said smugly, but her face quickly fell. "Why did you go to her? Everyone in the school says you're like a pervert."
Zuan: "..."
Does this word even exist in this world?
Chu Huanzhao grew angrier as he spoke: "Isn't having your sister enough? Why are you going to fawn over her? Besides, your sister just left today!"
Anger points from Chu Huanzhao: +33 +33 +33...
Zu An had a terrible headache: "I have something important to discuss with her; it's to help the Chu family get through this difficult time."
"The Zheng family and our Chu family have always been at odds. Would she help us?" Chu Huanzhao looked incredulous. "Brother-in-law, at least come up with a more reasonable excuse."
“Normally she wouldn’t help, but her brother-in-law is so handsome.” Zuan snorted.
"Shameless!" Chu Huanzhao laughed and cursed, but this interruption made her forget to continue her accusations.
After returning to the Chu residence, Zu'an told her to go home first.
"Where are you going?" Chu Huanzhao asked curiously when he saw that he had no intention of going inside.
“I’m going…” Zu’an was about to answer when he suddenly remembered something and his expression froze. “Why so many questions? I have important business to attend to when I go out.”
Chu Huanzhao pouted: "You're beating around the bush, you're probably just going to go drinking and whoring, humph!"
After saying that, he walked towards the mansion with a resentful look on his face, deliberately making loud stomping noises, as if to...
Zuan: "..."
A woman's intuition is truly terrifying!
He did indeed intend to visit Shenxianju, not for drinking and carousing, but to try and gather information from Qiu Honglei.
You should know that all the previous information about Chen Xuan came from her, so she might have some information about the missing salt certificates this time.
Upon arriving at Shenxianju, after announcing their arrival, a maidservant soon led Zu An into Qiu Honglei's room.
Looking at the beautiful woman before him, Zu'an couldn't help but exclaim, "Hong Lei seems to have a lot on her mind."
Qiu Honglei was taken aback, then smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Zu has such discerning eyes; I didn't expect you to be able to see that."
Zuan couldn't help but sigh, "Red Tears, we've become estranged. You used to call me A-Zu."
Qiu Honglei: "..."
This guy's conversations are always so unpredictable.
However, she was already used to his personality and smiled slightly, "Ah Zu, if you had come two days later, you might not have seen me at all."
Zuan was startled: "Are you leaving?"
Actually, the other person's tone was a bit strange the last time we met.
"Mm." Qiu Honglei nodded.
