Ge'er with smiling eyes and curved brows."Xiao Yu Ge casually ate one, thinking of his words, the corner of her mouth unconsciously rose, hmm, delicious, take some to Qing Luo.When she arrived at Qin...“Brother, it doesn't make any sense to talk about this now. Loulan is my best friend, she's a good girl, and I hope you can persuade our parents to marry her with honor.” She knew that her father was the current prime minister, and he cared most about reputation. With Loulan's current status, they definitely wouldn't agree to let her into the family.
“I…” Chu Tianqi wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he didn’t know what to say. He loved Ge'er, but he also knew that he had already lost the right to love her.
"Brother, if you lose to Loulan, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!" After finishing her words, Xiao Yuge turned and left.
"Ge'er!" Chu Tian hurriedly grabbed her hand.
Xiao Yu Ge's gaze was cold as she looked at him clutching her hand, a chilling frost in her eyes that forced Chu Tian Qi to let go.
"Brother, if you treat Lou Lan well, then you're still my brother. Otherwise, we won't even be siblings!" Xiao Yu Ge turned and left, each step a pang of pain. It wasn't because she was heartbroken, but because she had to force herself to let go of her hatred for him. The resentment from their past life gnawed at her heart like ants.
In another corner, Xu Loulan sat with tear-filled eyes. After running away yesterday, she hid in the shadows and saw Ge'er searching for her everywhere. Seeing Ge'er so anxious, she also felt guilty, but for a moment she didn't know how to face Ge'er, so she hid.
It is said that Ge'er had been missing for a whole day, and she was very worried. She came to Ruyi Pavilion early in the morning to inquire about the news, and happened to see Chu Tianqi and Ge'er, and overheard their conversation. She didn't expect Ge'er to care about her so much, and she was heartbroken because of Chu Tianqi's words.
Chu Tianqi turned his head and saw Xu Loulan. Their eyes met, and he lowered his head in guilt. He had gotten drunk and messed things up, ruining the reputation of this young lady. He regretted it and blamed himself.
Xu Loulan gave him a long, hard look, then turned and walked away.
"Alan, can we talk" Finally, Chu Tianqi gathered his courage and chased after her.
Xu Loulan stopped her steps, pursed her lips, and stubbornly raised her little face: "Chu gege, I said before, I don't need you to be responsible for me, so you don't have to make things difficult for yourself, just pretend nothing happened." She knew that with her current status, it was impossible for her to enter the Xiangfu. Therefore, she didn't dare to expect anything more.
After she finished speaking, she gracefully departed.
Chu Tianqi watched her slender back, his heart had never been so chaotic as it was now.
Xiao Yu Ge met the three anxious Jingzhong youngsters at Jinyu Lou.
"Brother Fan Deng, you guys are here too" She looked quite surprised. Seeing their anxious expressions, she feigned concern and asked, "What's wrong"
Three people looked at each other, seemingly unable to speak.
"What happened" Xiao Yuge had long known, but on the surface, she still pretended to be clueless.
“The jade we bought that day was fake!” Fan Deng gritted his teeth and said angrily.
"Fake Didn't you all see it back then You all said it was real." Xiao Yuge's innocent eyes were filled with disbelief, but in reality, her heart was about to burst into laughter.
"We've been tricked!" Fan Deng slammed his fist on the table and sat down angrily.
"If I ever catch that man again, I'll skin him alive!" Young Master Zhao was also furious.
"That's a predicament, all three of you have mortgaged yourselves to Mr. Tang, and with a deadline of three days. Tomorrow is the last day, if you can't come up with the silver by then, I fear he won't let it go."
"But where are we going to find so much silver now In two days, at triple the rate, we owe nearly 10,000 taels. And tomorrow it will double again..." The three of them couldn't imagine what would happen if Tang Ao went home to collect their property. Their father would definitely skin and bone them.
"My father will know, he'll kill me for sure..." Feng and Zhao were also in a state of panic.
"Why would that person lie to you for no reason Even if he's a fraud, with your status, how could he dare" Xiao Yuge walked to the railing as if talking to herself, glanced down casually, then excitedly pointed downstairs: "Look, look, isn't that the jade seller from that day"
Three of them rushed over and instantly their anger flared!
"Sure enough, it's him! This fraudster!"
"Hey, isn't that An Ling by Sister's side How come she's with the jade seller and seems to have given him a bag of something..." Before Xiao Yu Ge could finish her words, San Shao rushed down.
"That vile woman, Xiao Yu-fu, actually dared to put us in this position!" Fan Deng spat, his voice dripping with venom.
Seeing the three people rush out, Xiao Yuge subconsciously made a hand gesture to the jade seller downstairs. The jade seller understood immediately and quickly disappeared into the crowd. When San Shao chased after them, they only saw An Ling who was dumbfounded, but couldn't see the jade seller at all.
Xiao Yu sang squinted at the three fools below, a smirk playing on her lips. Just then, Tang Ao walked over.
"Ms. Xiao!"
Seeing his arrival, Xiao Yuge was not at all surprised, instead she smiled and congratulated him: "Congratulations to Mr. Tang, you've made a big profit again, oh no, it should be said that you've made three big profits."
Tang Ao burst into laughter: “That’s all thanks to Miss Xiao. If there are any more good things like this in the future, remember to come find me, Miss Xiao!”
"Of course." Xiao Yuge waved at him, then turned and went downstairs.
Tang Ao is the boss of Ziqian Pawn Shop. He's well-connected in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, so he naturally knows Qian Tingxuan and his relationship with Xiao Yuge. Therefore, when Xiao Yuge approached him, he agreed without hesitation. There was money to be made, no risk of angering the King, and a chance to please the young beauty—what's not to love
"Brother Fan Deng!" Xiao Yu Ge pretended to be out of breath and ran down, sure enough, seeing that the Third Young Master was holding onto An Ling, interrogating her about what had happened.
An Ling had never seen such a scene before, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly begged for mercy: "Three young masters, I really don't know what you are talking about"
"Then, what did you just say to that man Why did you give him money" Fan Deng's eyes were like daggers, aggressive and piercing.
An Ling shook her head sharply: “I really didn’t say anything to him, I just happened to find his money pouch dropped and returned it to him.”
“My purse fell out, and you just happened to pick it up What a coincidence!” Caishang didn't believe it. They all knew that Xiaoyuf was the one who promised each of them five thousand taels to pursue Xiaoyu Ge and then ruin him. Now thinking back, they suspected that Xiaoyuf had deliberately set a trap for them. After all, they hadn't shown much restraint when coveting Xiaoyuf, the number one beauty in the capital.a bitter expression, thinking to herself, "I wonder if Sister Feng and the others have found anything useful. The longer it takes, the more dangerous those missing girls become.""A man and a woman alo...
