Zhao Qingrui came to the window and saw a lot of people watching the fun downstairs.
"My clothes are made of silk, and you have soiled them. Hurry up and pay me." Zhou Yuan looked at the woman in front of him and the child she was protecting with displeasure.
"Master, please spare us. This is all the money we have." Lu Zhi hugged Liu Fei tightly, her body trembling slightly. She bit her lower lip tightly, her face pale. She took out a small purse and poured out only a few dozen coins.
"With this little money, you can't even buy a piece of cloth for my clothes." Zhou Yuan became even more unhappy.
This dress was just made, and the color was also just dark blue. He liked this color very much. As a result, he brought people out to promote it when he was bumped into by that damn kid and a bowl of vegetable soup was spilled on the dress.
Zhao Qingrui didn't really want to get involved in this matter. Seeing Yin Man so indignant, Zhao Qingrui felt helpless.
"If you want to intervene, go ahead." Ying Zheng said lightly. It was just a small matter.
"Thank you, father." Yin Man thanked him happily and ran downstairs quickly.
Liu Fei also knew that he was in trouble. He was so scared that he could only hide behind Lu Zhi.
The mother and son were none other than Lü Zhi, who had just married Liu Bang not long ago, and the child, who was a few years old, was none other than Liu Bang's eldest son, Liu Fei.
"Since you can't pay me back," Zhou Yuan suddenly looked at Lu Zhi. Although she was already married, she was quite pretty. His eyes narrowed slightly. "Since you can't pay me back, then sell yourself and work for me."
"I'll pay for her. How much?" Yin Man walked over and saw the weak look of the woman. Her sense of justice overflowed and she directly pulled Lu Zhi up and protected her behind her.
"Six hundred coins." Zhou Yuan paused when he saw Yin Man. This girl was even more beautiful, but the clothes she wore were beyond his reach. This girl's family background must be extraordinary, so he didn't dare to provoke her easily.
This is Xianyang, where there are many nobles and aristocrats, and his father is just a minor official.
"Is this worth six hundred coins?" Yin Man was also stunned. Six hundred coins was not a small amount. She looked carefully at the clothes the man was wearing. They were indeed not bad. They were made of the material that nobles liked. How could they be so expensive?
Yin Man took out a white pearl from her bag and gave it to Zhou Yuan.
"Enough, enough." The quality of this pearl is extremely good, Zhou Yuan has never seen it before. He did not expect this beautiful girl to be so generous and give him such a good pearl so easily. He became more afraid to offend her.
After receiving the pearls, Zhou Yuan didn't dare to make any more noise. He took his servants and left directly. He didn't dare to stay any longer for fear of offending anyone.
Before, he was justified and could make a big fuss, but now he has paid the money. If he makes a fuss again and offends others, his father will break his legs.
After seeing that person leave, Yin Man looked at Lu Zhi, "Are you okay?"
"We are fine. Thank you for saving us. This money is to compensate you for the pearls. I will definitely return the rest of the money to you." Lu Zhi said awkwardly with a wary look on her face. Although Yin Man showed kindness, she was still afraid in her heart.
She came to Xianyang from Pei County to make a living and encountered many dangers along the way. Many people wanted to force her because of her good looks, and some wanted to cheat her of her money. She didn't have much money to begin with, and some of it was cheated away, making life even more difficult for her and her son.
Although this girl saved the mother and son, who knows if she is in cahoots with the man just now.
"No need, as long as you are all fine." She was not blind and could not see Lu Zhi's vigilance, which made Yin Man a little helpless.
"I hope you can leave your name. I will definitely return the money to you someday." Lu Zhi insisted. She didn't believe in other people's kindness for no reason.
Zhao Qingrui upstairs watched this scene and laughed. The girl's name was Chi'er. How could you give a girl such a name?
"If you feel bad about it, please give it to the owner of the bookstore here when you have money. He will then return it to my sister." Zhao Qingrui said loudly.
"Thank you very much, young lady." Lu Zhi hurriedly thanked her, carefully wrote down the location of the bookstore, and quickly left with Liu Fei.
Yin Man returned to the room on the second floor in a depressed mood.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Zhao Qingrui chuckled and poured her a cup of tea.
"Well, I helped her, why doesn't she want to believe me?" Yin Man pouted, unhappy.
"Sister, you think too simply. That girl looks exhausted. She must have just arrived in Xianyang. Her clothes are tattered and she must have suffered a lot on the way. It's normal for such a person to be more vigilant." Zhao Qingrui said calmly.
Changing the subject, "But she's not ungrateful. She's planning to return your pearls. I told her to exchange them for money and go find the manager here. She won't feel bad about it."
"Qing Rui is right. There is no good thing in the world without reason. Yin Man, you still have a lot to learn." Ying Zheng thought of his childhood when he was in Zhao State. He suffered a lot before returning to Qin State.
"I understand, your Majesty. Thank you for your guidance." Yin Man lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Li Si couldn't help but look at Zhao Qingrui more. This little princess could analyze so much just from the girl's words and clothes, and she could easily help Yin Man and Lu Zhi out of trouble. No wonder His Majesty likes her so much.
After running a long way with Liu Fei, Lu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief when she found that no one was following them.
There was no reason for her to be so cautious, she had suffered too much along the way.
Looking at the dozens of coins in the bag, Lu Zhi looked sad. With this little money, it was hard to even find a house to live in. How would she and Liu Fei survive?
"Mom, I want to eat plums. Please buy me some plums." After running so far, Liu Fei's strong body was hungry and wanted to eat snacks.
There aren't many snacks in Daqin, just some fruits at most, which is why Zhao Qingrui's snack bar is doing so well.
"I have no money and can't even buy food, so why should I eat plums." Thinking of the humiliation she had suffered along the way and the trouble Liu Fei had caused, and now she owed a huge debt, she couldn't help but yelled loudly.
Although Yin Man did not ask her to pay back the money, her self-esteem would not allow her to be so shameless as to ignore the money she owed others.
"I don't care, I just want to eat the plums. You give me money, otherwise I will tell my dad that you bullied me." Liu Fei also said loudly.
Looking at the naughty child in front of her, Lü Zhi felt very tired. "Then go tell your father. Your father is building the Great Wall in Shangjun. Go there."
Her father married her to a man fifteen years older than her and made her a stepmother. She had long been full of resentment.
Dad also said that Liu Bang would have a great future, but he was demoted to the position of Chief of Sishui Pavilion and was also punished to build the Great Wall. Is this really a great future?
