When Aunt Mei heard this, her expression changed slightly, "Yes! Mr. Long said that all their silver is with you and asked me to come to you to settle the bill.
He also said that when you wake up, you will join him!"
Xue Wuxia shook her head in disbelief. This Long Qianche was clearly trying to trick him.
He curled his lips and said: "Is his money here?
when did it happen?"
Aunt Mei was stunned, "Sir, I don't care who owns your money, but you are in this together, and since Mr. Long is gone, you should be the one to settle the bill."
Xue Wuxia narrowed her eyes slightly and shook her black hair, "You don't have to worry, I have a lot of money, will I miss you this little money?"
Chun'er, go check out."
"yes."
Chun'er said, then turned around and walked into the room, ready to get the silver from the wooden box.
Xue Wuxia combed her hair with her hands, looking noble and calm.
At this moment, only hearing a scream of "ah", Chun'er ran out of the house nervously, "Sir, it's bad, our money is missing!"
Xue Wuxia looked at Chun'er in disbelief, "The silver is missing?
How could it be missing?"
Chun'er said anxiously: "I don't know that. When I counted the money last night, the silver and banknotes were still there.
But when I opened the box just now, I saw that all the money was gone!"
At this time, Chanjuan walked in and happened to hear Chun'er's words.
She hurriedly said: "Chun'er, did you remember the wrong place where you put the money?
Are you looking for it again?"
Chun'er quickly shook her head, "I didn't.
Sister Chanjuan, I just checked all the wooden boxes, and I really didn’t find a single ingot of silver.
We must have been robbed, someone stole all our money!"
Chun'er just finished speaking, and everyone's eyes were staring at Aunt Mei suspiciously.
Aunt Mei hurriedly said: "Hey, what are you looking at?
Do you think this is a black shop and I stole your money?"
Chanjuan said coldly: "Aunt Mei, your Yanxia Pavilion is guarded inside and outside. Not even a mosquito can fly in, but our money is missing! There must be a thief here, and this matter must have something to do with you.
It can’t be separated!”
Aunt Mei stared at Chanjuan angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?
When did I steal your money?
If my Aunt Mei does such a thing, she will be struck by thunder and die badly!"
Seeing Aunt Mei being so angry, Chanjuan blinked in confusion, "Aunt Mei, is it really not you who did it?"
Aunt Mei said coldly: "I am a flower shop. Our shop has a lot of customers every day and business is booming. I don't need to do such a thing at all.
This is not a black shop in the mountains, so please don’t slander me."
Xue Wuxia knocked her head with a fan and said casually: "From what Aunt Mei said, it seems that it really has nothing to do with her. If outsiders can't get in from Yanxia Pavilion, then there will only be internal thieves. Could it be..."
"Could he be Long Qianche's person?"
Chanjuan spoke first.
Xue Wuxia put away the fan coldly, "Yes! It must be his. When he got me drunk last night, he must have planned everything! He first got me drunk, then sent someone to steal my money, and then secretly
slip.
He just wants to trap me here and prevent me from tracking him!"
Chun'er nodded, "So, the money was really stolen by them.
Then young master, now that we have no money, what should we do?"
When Aunt Mei heard this, she immediately put away her smile and said coldly: "Mr. Xue, it seems that your best friend is not very kind to you!"
Xue Wuxia supported her chin with one hand, "That girl is really heartless."
Aunt Mei sneered: "Okay, stop talking nonsense! It turns out that you really have no money, and I have been talking to you for a long time. It turns out that you are a group of paupers! If you don't settle the account today, no one can leave!"
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves fiercely, with a ruthless look on her face.
Xue Wuxia shook her head helplessly, "One second she was smiling, but the next second she was a different person.
Aunt Mei, why are you so heartless?
Have you forgotten the friendship between us last night?"
Aunt Mei gritted her teeth and said: "Bah, who has feelings for you?
Don't get too close to me! The rules of the world are that if you owe a debt, you must pay it back.
You spent a total of 3,000 taels of silver on all the food and drinks last night. Plus the room fee and other miscellaneous expenses, you owe me a total of 5,000 taels of silver. Hurry and get it!"
Xue Wuxia looked at Chanjuan and the others and said, "Chanjuan, do you still have any money on you?"
Several people shook their heads, "No.
Master, we are just little slaves, where can we have so much money?"
"What about your jewelry?
Pawn the jewelry and see how much silver you can get."
Xue Wuxia said.
Several people hurriedly hugged the jewelry on their heads and shook their heads, "No, young master, our jewelry is not valuable. How can we get five thousand taels?"
"That's right, even if you sell us, we won't be worth so much money."
When Aunt Mei heard this, she suddenly glanced at a few people, and then said: "Mr. Xue, these slaves of yours are so beautiful.
Otherwise, you give them to me and let them sell themselves to pay off your debt, so you can leave!"
"Master, I don't want it!"
Several people said in unison.
"no!"
When Xue Wuxia heard this, she suddenly stood up.
Then, with cold eyes, he walked towards Aunt Mei step by step.
When Aunt Mei saw this, she was so frightened that her hair stood on end, her legs became weak, and she even stepped back, "You, what are you going to do?
Do you want to kill someone?"
Xue Wuxia walked up to Aunt Mei and stared at her with cold eyes, full of murderous intent.
He looked very imposing and his eyes were cold, like a bloodthirsty killer.
Suddenly, he said word by word: "I can't sell myself, but I can wash dishes..."
"..." When Aunt Mei heard this, three black lines immediately appeared on her forehead, "Washing the dishes?"
"Yes! I, Xue Wuxia, never take advantage of others. How about I let them wash the dishes for you and pay off your debt?"
Xue Wuxia curled her lips lazily.
Thinking of the murderous intent in Xue Wuxia's eyes just now, Aunt Mei could only say: "Okay... okay! Let them stay in Yanxia Pavilion and wash dishes to repay the debt. Not only washing dishes, they have to do other things!"
Xue Wuxia snapped her fingers, "Don't worry, they are all my most outstanding maids, and they will definitely satisfy you."
Chanjuan and the four maids Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong looked at each other with a hint of cunning in their eyes.
-
After more than ten days of long journey, Long Qianche and his party finally arrived at Shengjing City, the imperial city of Chu State.
After arriving in Shengjing City, he found an inn to stay.
After everything was settled, he took a bath first, then put on an elegant brocade robe, with a folding fan in his hand, making him look like a handsome nobleman.
At this time, Long Qi walked into his room, cupped his hands and said: "Sir, we have arrived in Shengjing City, can we go find the saint?"
