Seeing Qin Zichu's hesitation, Zhou Hui tried tirelessly to persuade him.
No one knows Qin Zichu's character better than her.
But she was talking so much that her mouth was dry, and Qin Zichu only responded with a few perfunctory "hmm" and "ah" occasionally, and drank his tea leisurely.
Zhou Hui frowned and looked at the person beside her.
Somehow, she always felt that something was wrong with Qin Zichu today.
"...Zi Chu, what do you think? Are you going or not? Just give me a firm answer."
Qin Zichu leisurely put down the teacup and pretended to be helpless, "I really can't go, my mother should be back soon."
Zhou Hui felt a tightness in her chest and wanted to spit at her. It seemed that she had been trying to persuade her for a long time, but she still didn't want to go.
She rolled her eyes and had other thoughts.
"Then Zichu, why don't you lend me some money? I'm a little short of money recently."
Qin Zichu's eyes were slightly cold, but it disappeared in an instant. He sighed helplessly, "Ah Hui, it's not that I don't want to lend you the money. Ever since that horse race, my mother took all my money back, and now I don't have a penny. I've been having a harder time than you lately. How about you pay me back some of the money you borrowed from me before?"
Hearing the word "repay the money", Zhou Hui's nerves immediately shuddered, "Zichu, where do I have the money? I will pay you back later."
Qin Zichu twitched the corners of his lips and suggested, "How about you write an IOU?"
Zhou Hui's face darkened, and she feigned sadness as she said, "Qin Zichu, what do you mean? Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't pay back the money I owe you?"
Qin Zichu: It’s true.
"Qin Zichu, I never thought you were this kind of person. I consider you my best friend, but what do you think of me?"
Qin Zichu held his chin in his hand and admired her performance.
I sighed in my heart, her acting is not good, and her routine is not good either, they are just leftovers from her previous tricks.
At this time, a maid came hurriedly to report that King Ancheng had returned home and was heading towards the garden.
Zhou Hui was so frightened that she even forgot about her performance. She immediately said goodbye perfunctorily and left in a hurry.
Qin Zichu looked at her leaving back and raised his hand to call the guards.
"Go, follow her, put a sack on her, and give her a good beating. You'll have to pay the price for eating my food."
Those grapes were sent by King Ancheng, a mother who loved her daughter very much. How could they be ruined by that bastard?
So, not long after Zhou Hui left the palace, she was put in a sack and beaten so badly that her parents disowned her. She was bedridden for half a month.
Qin Zichu knew that neither she nor the original owner was a good person, but Zhou Hui was not a good person either.
The so-called going to brothels to find beauties, in the end those beauties all became Zhou Hui's belly, but the original owners were tricked by her into gambling. If it weren't for the wealthy Ancheng Palace, their family would have been gambled away.
Although Zhou Hui was the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, her father was just a small servant with no status and naturally no money.
She deceived the original owner and borrowed an unknown amount of money from him, which she never paid back.
The original owner was stupid and treated her as a friend and did not ask her to pay back the money, but now that Qin Zichu has replaced her, things are different.
Although she is also a bit of a jerk, she is not someone who will suffer losses for nothing.
"Xiao Qiu, list out every penny of how much money Zhou Hui has borrowed from this prince over the years."
Xiaoqiu is the daughter of the palace's housekeeper. Now she is sent by King Ancheng to be Qin Zichu's personal maid.
