Chapter 88 You kid, it turns out you like Zhizhi
Servant: “……?”
Ji Lingzhu didn't expect Xiao Huaiyu to say that. She froze for a moment and then pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly.
"Prince Xiao, stop joking. This is not funny at all."
Xiao Huaiyu still asked the servant in a nonchalant tone.
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
The servant knew the master's temper very well, so he didn't dare to contradict him. He quickly smiled and waved his hands: "No, no, no... The young master always keeps his word, so he naturally wouldn't joke around!"
After saying that, the servant turned to Ji Lingzhu and said.
"Miss Ji, you'd better pay the money quickly! Everyone was watching you bid just now. You can't steal the limelight and make us lose money, right?"
Seeing that Xiao Huaiyu turned hostile without hesitation, he stood up and was about to leave.
Ji Lingzhu was anxious for a moment and quickly grabbed his arm, trying to stop him.
"No...Prince Xiao, you can't leave! Didn't you just ask me to bid, saying I could buy whatever I liked and you would pay the bill?!"
"Really? Why don't I remember saying such a thing?"
Xiao Huaiyu curled his lips, shirking his debt with ease, without even a trace of guilt, "I'm not some sucker. I spent ten thousand taels to buy a bracelet worth one thousand taels... Miss Ji, please don't slander me!"
Seeing that everyone around was looking at her, Ji Lingzhu was angry and annoyed. She had no idea that he was such a scoundrel. She was so anxious that she almost cried.
"Prince Xiao, that's not what you just said..."
"Hey, hey! Let go! Miss Ji, it's not appropriate for men and women to touch each other. There are so many people watching! Don't be ashamed. I still have to remain a virgin for my future wife!"
Xiao Huaiyu interrupted him with disgust and hit Ji Lingzhu's hand hard with his fan.
Ji Lingzhu retracted her hand in pain.
Before I could say anything else, Xiao Huaiyu walked away in big strides!
"Xiao..."
Ji Lingzhu subconsciously wanted to run after him, but was stopped by the servant. The smile on her face was gone, and she looked more sinister.
"Miss Ji, you can't leave! You haven't paid for the bracelet yet."
Ji Lingzhu was angry and embarrassed.
"Where can I get so much money?"
The servant said considerately.
"It's okay, we can go with you to your house to get it."
"You...you are blackmailing me!"
"Oh, I don't deserve that! You see, all these distinguished guests in this room are witnesses. Even if you take this to the government office, you can't deny this... Better not make a scene!"
"you……"
In the corridor, Xiao Huaiyu took a few steps and suddenly turned back, as if he remembered something.
Seeing this, Ji Lingzhu's face lit up with joy.
"Prince Xiao, I knew you wouldn't abandon me."
Xiao Huaiyu shook the fan in his hand and denied it with a smile.
"You misunderstood. I just suddenly remembered that I forgot to tell you something... The pair of jade bracelets you bought at a high price seem to be the token of love that Shen Yu'an gave to the Second Young Master's wife. The Second Young Master's wife thought it was unlucky, so she asked me to bring it to Wanbaozhai to sell it.
I originally only planned to sell it for a thousand taels of silver, but I didn't expect it to fetch such a high price. The Second Young Master's wife must be very happy now. I have to go and congratulate her!"
After hearing what he said, no matter how stupid Ji Lingzhu was, he realized that he had been fooled.
Xiao Huaiyu was clearly helping Song Zhizhi on purpose and cheating her out of her money!
But she was still a little unwilling.
I couldn't help but question.
"Why... Song Zhizhi is already married. Even if she can get a divorce, she's just a worn-out slut. How can I be inferior to her?!"
Hearing this, Xiao Huaiyu's handsome face turned slightly cold, and a sinister look flashed across his eyes.
"Miss Ji doesn't want this tongue anymore... Do you think you are worthy of her?"
Ji Lingzhu felt a chill run down her spine when she was swept by his cold gaze.
Before I could come back to my senses.
He put on a smiling expression again and bowed.
"By the way, General Ji is no longer capable of taking on important tasks. The Ji Mansion is now just an empty shell. I imagine Miss Ji's dowry, added together, wouldn't exceed ten thousand taels... Miss Ji has truly been broke today! On behalf of the Second Young Master's wife, this prince would like to thank Miss Ji for her strong support!"
After seeing Xiao Huaiyu finish speaking, he turned around and rushed towards where Jiang and Song Zhizhi were, looking anxious to take credit. Ji Lingzhu wanted to leave but couldn't, and she was furious!
He raised his hand and overturned the table!
With a loud bang, the table fell down and the jade bracelet broke into two pieces.
The servant paused when he saw this, and then spoke.
"Miss Ji, even if you broke the bracelet, you still have to pay the money... not a penny less."
Ji Lingzhu: “…”
…
Over there.
Jiang Wanning and Song Zhizhi each held a handful of melon seeds, cracking them while watching the fun.
We would discuss it from time to time.
"Mother, look... she's been taken away! Do you think the General's Mansion will give her this ten thousand taels of silver?"
"The Ji family's wealth has long been squandered by her incompetent father. How could they possibly come up with 10,000 taels? She dares to ask for that price. She'll either be expelled from the family or sold to the merchant she despises the most and become a concubine of one of the seven or eight wives."
The two were chatting.
Then Xiao Huaiyu walked in with a smug look on his face, asking for credit.
"Madam, how do you think I did on this mission today?"
Jiang Wanning rewarded him with a handful of melon seeds.
"Great! If the General's Mansion settles the bill, I will send 30% of the profits to your residence."
Xiao Huaiyu waved his fan.
"You're welcome, ma'am. I don't want any money."
Jiang Wanning raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then what do you want?"
Xiao Huaiyu didn't say it explicitly, but just turned his head to glance at Song Zhizhi secretly, and then bowed to Jiang Wanning.
"I hope my wife will help me."
Jiang Wanning: Boy, you actually had such thoughts in mind!
He actually asked her, the mother-in-law, for her daughter-in-law... He really didn't treat her as an outsider!
However, Xiao Huaiyu was not mentioned in the original text. The reason he showed up now is probably because the plot has changed, causing a chain reaction.
She knew Nangong Jing inside and out, so she was naturally relieved.
Xiao Huaiyu...
We need to investigate further.
"The only thing I can promise you is silver. As for what you want... that depends on whether you have the ability to do it! I won't stop you."
Xiao Huaiyu immediately smiled: "Thank you, Madam!"
Song Zhizhi: “???”
Why couldn't she understand a word her mother said to Prince Xiao?
I didn't understand what you said just now.
I still don’t understand it now.
She doesn't think she is that stupid.
…
Soon, all five treasures were auctioned.
A break.
Song Zhizhi counted the utensils and secret recipes and was about to take them to the owner of Wanbaozhai. Just as she went out, she bumped into Song Qingde and Song Ziwen who were coming towards her.
"Bang!"
Chunhua was knocked back and staggered, and the box in her hand fell to the ground without being held firmly, with the lid opened.
"Zhizhi! You are here..."
"What is this? An exclusive secret recipe for refining Liuli?"
Song Ziwen was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He was the first to pick up the secret recipe from the ground. He glanced at it lightly with a squinting eye, then showed disdain and mocked.
"Without the Song family's golden signboard, you don't really think that anyone will pay for your pile of junk, do you?"
“Give it back to me!”
Song Zhizhi snatched the secret recipe back, pulled Chunhua and turned to leave, not wanting to even glance at the Song family.
"Zhizhi!"
Song Qingde grabbed her hand and said unhappily.
"Why are you still angry? People say you have 100,000 taels of silver. Is that true?"
Song Zhizhi said coldly.
“It’s none of your business!”
Song Qingde's face darkened and he warned.
"Humph, this is my Song family's money! How can it have nothing to do with me?! Not only did you embezzle such a large sum of money from the Song family, but you even donated it for nothing... This is really outrageous! If you hand over the money now, I can still consider our father-daughter relationship and not report you to the government office. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my back on you-"
“Bang!”
