Chapter 47 Borrowing Money



"Don't be nervous, Fairy. I think the two tails will wake up soon. Let's hurry up and talk."

"How do you know..." The look that Liu Xiangu gave Jiang Si was difficult to describe in words.

When every step a person takes is seen through by another person, even if that person is just a weak girl, in the eyes of this person, she is as terrifying as a monster with bared fangs and claws.

This is how Jiang Si appears in the eyes of Liu Xiangu at this moment.

"Come on, let's talk about business." The girl said with a smile.

"I don't know how to do business!" She just wants to run away and not let anyone stop her!

Jiang Si chuckled: "Fairy, have you ever thought that the fact that your ritual is such a big deal actually has at least two benefits for you?"

"What's the benefit?"

Ginger stretched out his finger.

When Liu Xiangu saw this action, her heart trembled subconsciously.

Are you going to make the number six again?

Apart from digging up ancestral graves and spreading gossip, is there any other threat you can offer?

This time, Jiang Si held up two fingers and said slowly, "First, the fairy lady has become the focus of attention of the people in the capital, so her safety is greatly guaranteed."

Speaking of this, Jiang Si glanced at Liu Xiangu and asked with a smile: "Does Xiangu think that my second aunt is a clay sculpture and will let you leave the capital smoothly?"

Fairy Liu curled the corners of her mouth.

That's why she was planning to sneak away.

"Let the fairy know that my second aunt's brother works in the Wucheng Military Department. Although his position is not prominent, it is not difficult to deliberately stop someone."

Xiangu Liu's lips trembled a few times.

She really got on the pirate ship and can't get off!

"The situation is different now. Everyone in the capital is watching. My second aunt would not dare to confront the fairy lady openly. At most, she would just spread some rumors to damage her reputation."

"If my reputation is ruined, then it will be even more ruined." Liu Xiangu said woodenly.

If the wife of the Duke of Dongping's eyesight does not improve, the Second Mistress will accuse her of being a liar and she might even end up in jail, which is not much better than being physically beaten.

"Why would the fairy's reputation be ruined? My grandmother's eyes will surely get better."

Liu Xiangu took a deep breath, her tone unable to conceal her nervousness and urgency: "Miss, do you really think the old lady's eyes can get better?"

"I never speak empty words. This is the second benefit of spreading this story. The more people doubt the fairy's magical powers now, the more they will worship her when my grandmother's eyes are healed. Then the fairy will gain both fame and fortune."

"If that's the case, I'd like to thank you, young lady."

"Let's not talk about that now, we have to talk about business."

"What business?"

"All the major casinos are betting on this, so why don't we join in the fun?"

Liu Xiangu's face was slightly stiff, she was unsure of what Jiang Si meant.

"I heard that the odds in all the major casinos are around 1 to 5. If our Fairy Nun can cure my grandmother's eyes, then one tael of silver can become five taels. Isn't this a very profitable business?"

"This is the algorithm, but what if I lose?" Fairy Liu was fooled by Jiang Si and began to think like an ordinary person.

"I won't lose." Jiang Si said firmly.

Liu Xiangu opened her mouth to retort, but she no longer had the courage to face a demon who wanted to dig up her ancestral graves at any time. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why us?"

Jiang Si spread his hands and said righteously, "I have no money."

Liu Xiangu's mouth twitched, and she gritted her teeth and handed over the banknote hidden in her bosom: "This is what the girl gave me before. If the girl has no money, you can use it. As for the buy-and-sell... I still won't participate."

If the old lady of the Dongping Earl's eyesight could not be cured, she would at least have some savings to rely on even if her reputation was ruined.

"In that case, I won't force you. Please lend me another two hundred taels of silver."

"What?" Fairy Liu was stunned for a while.

The girl's deep eyes finally made her compromise. She took out a cloth bag from her trouser pocket, opened it layer by layer, took out two banknotes and handed them over.

Jiang Si took it without hesitation and smiled.

She knew that people like Liu Xiangu had no sense of security and always carried a lot of money with them wherever they went.

"Don't worry, fairy. I will return your money when I win the bet."

Liu Xiangu closed her eyes, but she couldn't bear to say that she didn't need to return it. She nodded randomly and said dryly, "I'll go back first. The two women will wake up soon."

"Have a safe journey, fairy."

After a while, Ah Man came in and whispered in Jiang Si's ear, "Liu Xiangu has gone back."

Jiang Si nodded slightly: "I know."

The unique smell of incense belonging to Liu Xiangu was still there, and she had obviously returned to the next door obediently.

"Miss, Liu Xiangu did something so unjust, will you really allow her to gain both fame and fortune?"

Jiang Si smiled and stood up, looking out the window: "So what if I gain both fame and fortune? Evildoers will be punished by heaven, just wait and see."

Ah Man shook his head.

She actually didn't believe that God was so careful to keep an eye on every bad person, but she believed in her own girl.

"Let's go to Tianxiang Tea House."

The private room in Tianxiang Teahouse was booked in advance, and the person Jiang Si wanted to meet had been waiting there for a while.

Jiang Si led Ah Man in, and the man immediately stood up.

Jiang Si took off his veil and put it on the table.

The man lowered his head and asked, "What do you want from me, young lady?"

He could never forget the first time he saw this beautiful girl. He almost died of a beating at the hands of the stinky girl dressed as a man beside her because he forgot to look away for a moment.

This young man was none other than the street thug Ah Fei who was stabbed by Ah Man.

"You did a good job on the previous matter." Jiang Si said lightly.

Her second uncle's family wanted to stew the rotten meat in the pot, but she certainly wouldn't let them do that. The fact that the gossip spread so quickly this time was all thanks to Ah Fei.

The people in the capital are quite wealthy, and this is the most suitable place for spreading gossip. A little spark can start a prairie fire.

"I don't deserve the compliment from the lady." Ah Fei quickly raised his eyes to glance at Jiang Si, then quickly lowered his eyes again.

Compared to unparalleled beauty, life is of course more important.

He just wanted to tease the beautiful boy on a whim, so how did he get involved with this master and servant?

"There's one more thing I need you to do." Jiang Si nodded slightly to Ah Man.

Ah Man hesitated for a moment, then handed over a plain purse: "Here."

Ah Fei reached out to take it, but Ah Man refused to let go.

Ah Fei glanced at Jiang Si and increased the strength in his hands.

What's going on? Didn't the girl give her the purse by signaling her? Could he have misunderstood?

"Ah Man——" Jiang Si reminded helplessly.

Ah Man then let go and warned: "If you lose it, I will kill you!"

The girl was too confident, how could she give so much money to this gangster?

"Open it and take a look."

Ah Fei lowered his head and opened his purse. When he saw the banknotes inside, his expression changed immediately: "Girl, this——"

"Take these and bet that the wife of the Duke of Dongping's eyesight will get better."

Ah Fei's lips were all white: "This, this——"

This girl is so generous. She gave him so much money. Isn’t she afraid that he will run away?
