The deputy pavilion master's eyes twitched.
He had a strong premonition that Qian Jiuzhao would explode tomorrow morning!
After spending the whole night with a heavy heart, Qian Jiuzhao walked into the dining room the next morning with a comfortable look on his face. He turned his head and glanced at the deputy leader with dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes, and was surprised.
"Did you stay up late last night?"
"Miss Qu will make an announcement shortly."
"Give up?" Qian Jiuzhao sat down across from him with a half-smile. "She stayed in the Shadow Pavilion for the first three days, and only went out twice yesterday and the night before yesterday. No matter how capable she is, she can never earn more than me!"
"I didn't say I was going to give up!"
Qu Li's voice reached her ears from behind, and the deputy leader stood up and bowed to her.
Qian Jiuzhao still had a disdainful expression on his face.
He looked like he deserved a beating. Anyway, the deputy leader had the urge to pin him to the ground and beat him up.
And this impulse became even stronger when she met his eyes that were raised with ridicule.
He had reminded Qian Jiuzhao that the Fifth Prince cared deeply about Qu Li. Otherwise, how could he have come here to do something so disregarding everything after receiving his secret letter?
What's more, he also told him a lot about Qu Li.
But that idiot Qian Jiuzhao insisted on competing with Qu Li. Isn't this just playing with fire and getting burned?
"There are only three days left!" Qian Jiuzhao raised his eyebrows and had a very bad attitude.
"Deputy Pavilion Master, please announce the amount of silver we have now." Qu Li looked indifferent.
From the moment they made the bet, she didn't take Qian Jiuzhao seriously at all.
Qian Jiuzhao felt a strong sense of disdain, frowned, and his eyes showed a hint of judgment.
The deputy leader took out two wooden boxes, which contained the silver bills the two had earned in the past four days.
"Old Wei, did you take out all your private money to support her?" When Qian Jiuzhao saw that there was a thick stack of banknotes in Qu Li's box, he was furious and his tone was a little impatient.
"If I use my own private money to make up for it, I will be struck by lightning!" The deputy leader also had an expression that seemed to be about to die of anger, staring at him with a pair of eyes that were like copper bells.
"Then what's going on with this silver?" Qian Jiuzhao showed a look of sudden enlightenment. "It must be the silver you took from before, right?"
Qu Li was so impressed by his imagination that he said with a mocking smile: "This is what I earned in the past two nights!"
Qian Jiuzhao picked it up and roughly counted it. There were about 100,000 taels.
He glanced at her suspiciously, "Did you go to the casino? Then you'd lose!"
"Even if I really won it at the gambling house, I don't have to use my own money. I can borrow money without any capital! Besides, isn't this your previous method?"
Qian Jiuzhao's face turned pale and blue after what she said, like an overturned color palette.
What the other party said was true, and he could only cough twice in embarrassment.
Qu Li's eyes darkened a little: "I accepted the task of disaster relief in the north."
Qian Jiuzhao:!!
The deputy leader's mouth was so wide open that an egg could almost fit in it.
"Where do you get so much food?"
"Of course I have my own ways! There's actually no need to continue the bet at this point. What do you think?" Qu Li picked up the chopsticks and ate breakfast slowly.
"You know, the riots by disaster victims in the north can't be concealed for long. Once exposed, many grain merchants will definitely hoard food and take advantage of the opportunity to raise prices!"
Qian Jiuzhao made his first fortune in such an unscrupulous way.
Later, he felt guilty and would always donate some silver. Whenever he saw poor beggars on the road, he would stop and let Yuanbao give them some change.
Qu Li nodded indifferently: "I know, but I don't plan to look for those grain merchants."
She had the cheating artifact of space, and she had so much food that she could not eat it all. Moreover, she found that every time she successfully rescued someone, the time she could hide in the space would become longer and longer.
If she can resolve the drought in the north, she should be able to save many people. She will probably become the most powerful person in the Tianlong Continent in the future!
"Where are you going to get so much grain if you don't find a grain merchant?" Qian Jiuzhao was extremely anxious. "Let me tell you, dealing with the imperial court is very troublesome. If you dare to deceive them, you will definitely die a miserable death."
The deputy leader had been feeling uneasy and his eyelids were twitching since yesterday. After hearing what Qian Jiuzhao said, he became even more worried.
"Miss Qu, what exactly is your path?"
He thought that if he really couldn't find a grain merchant, he would have to contact the Fifth Prince as soon as possible.
They have also stockpiled a lot of food over the years. Considering how much the Fifth Prince cares about Qu Li, he should give it out without hesitation.
Qian Jiuzhao also thought that Qu Li was planning to take these grains.
They followed Feng Yi, endured for so many years, and suffered from other people's contempt, just to one day be able to support Feng Yi to become a wise ruler. They must not ruin everything because of this beautiful woman who brought disaster to them.
Qu Li's inquiring gaze darted back and forth between their faces. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he said with an unusually solemn expression, "I will definitely not become a burden to Feng Yi."
In fact, no one would believe this, after all, Feng Yi had just traveled thousands of miles to Dagan for her not long ago.
"I have my own connections. I will never implicate Feng Yi, nor will I rely on Feng Yi! Qian Jiuzhao, do you know why you've gone so far, even though I haven't targeted you?"
Qian Jiuzhao curled his lips and said, "I am the fifth prince's money rake."
The implication is how important he is to Feng Yi.
"Well, you are indeed very important to Feng Yi, this is one of the reasons!"
"What exactly do you want to say? I don't have that much patience."
"What I want to express is that you are the family that Feng Yi considers. I care about Feng Yi, so naturally I won't target the people he cares about! However, human patience is also limited! Everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme, and this is never just a casual remark!"
After that, she stood up and said, "I'm full, you two, enjoy your meal."
The atmosphere in the dining room was solemn long after she left.
Qian Jiuzhao opened his mouth and said, "Old Wei, do you think she is annoying?"
"I think Miss Qu is very sincere in what she said."
"We checked before, and she doesn't have any grain fields under her name."
"But I also found out that the medicinal fields under her name are not enough to maintain the chain of medical clinics under her name. What does this mean?"
Qian Jiuzhao pondered this very seriously, finally stiffening his neck before uttering, "Could it be that she knows some magical power? Otherwise, how could she conjure up so much food?"
