In order to dispel Mrs. Gu Shi's naive idea as soon as possible, Chu Ziqian had to speed up the matter at hand. He kicked Su Shi out of the room with a sly smile on his face. Chu Ziqian stayed up all night. When he consolidated all the ledgers
After that, I was exhausted.
After taking a nap for a few hours, Chu Ziqian found a suitable time and came to the Gu Mansion again. He threw the account book in front of Li Yuzhen, and told her what she should do to silence the shopkeepers, and agreed that she, a woman, would take over.
The Gu family's business. Fortunately, Li Yuzhen was not a stupid woman and quickly understood what Chu Ziqian meant.
Li Yuzhen carefully flipped through the account book, then looked at Chu Ziqian with doubts on her face and asked, "Why do you want to help me like this?"
"Help you?" Chu Ziqian chuckled softly, his eyes hidden under the mask were full of ridicule. "What we only care about is the Gu family's money. Don't overestimate your status. We are not
It’s up to you, but you can’t find anyone else to satisfy everything you want except us.”
In fact, Li Yuzhen should have guessed that this was the case. They had repeatedly promised that they could provide her with food and clothing, but to be honest, seeing everything in her family fall into the hands of others, it was still difficult for Li Yuzhen to accept it.
Chu Ziqian saw Li Yuzhen's reluctance, curled his lips, and said again: "If Mrs. Gu doesn't want this stability, I think someone will be willing to cooperate with us in your place."
Chu Ziqian casually told him that Gu Shi's wife went to his house to propose marriage. Looking at Li Yuzhen's surprised expression, it was obvious that she was unaware of this matter.
"All your expenses will be recorded on this. As for how much, there is no limit."
Chu Ziqian thought that he was kind enough to Li Yuzhen. After all, he was the one who suffered, and she was just sitting back and enjoying the benefits.
Putting down his mask, Chu Ziqian stretched out comfortably, enjoying the warmth of the sun shining on his body, and walked slowly on the path home.
Chu Ziqian has not lived a life that normal people should live for a long time. Regarding the current life full of dangers, Chu Ziqian couldn't tell whether it was good or bad. Suddenly he felt a little empty, Chu Ziqian
Qian turned around and changed his walking direction, heading towards a quieter place on the edge of the city.
The Chu family's business is spread all over the capital, and the restaurant in front of Chu Ziqian is one of them. Although it is not in a busy city, it has a beautiful environment and is not as noisy as a busy city, so even if the price is higher than there
It's a bit more expensive, but there are still a lot of people coming here to eat.
As soon as Chu Ziqian walked into the door, the shopkeeper recognized him. He greeted him with a smile, thinking that Chu Ziqian was here to patrol the store. After hearing Chu Ziqian say that he wanted to try the new dishes in the shop, the shopkeeper
Without saying anything, he took him to the private room on the second floor.
Not only the shopkeeper recognized Chu Ziqian, but also Lu Zhiyao, who brought Wan Yue Yudie here to eat.
Chu Ziqian inadvertently looked back when he was going upstairs and saw Lu Zhiyao sitting there. His expression was stunned and he stopped. Although Lu Zhiyao didn't call him, Chu Ziqian couldn't pretend not to see her.
She just slipped upstairs, because the look Lu Zhiyao directed towards her showed that she had discovered him a long time ago.
After the shopkeeper noticed that Chu Ziqian turned around and went downstairs again, he followed him in confusion. Chu Ziqian walked up to Lu Zhiyao and the others and glanced at the food on the table. They seemed to have almost eaten.
.
Lu Zhiyao spent a lot of money in the Chu family's store during this period. It was not easy to meet him once, so of course he would not let it go.
Lu Zhiyao looked at Chu Ziqian, and then at the food on the table. Needless to say, Chu Ziqian had already read what she wanted to express.
Chu Ziqian frowned due to a headache, and then said to the shopkeeper beside him: "Please remember not to charge them for this table later."
"Ah? Ah!" The shopkeeper was startled for a moment and then nodded repeatedly. His eyes swept over the faces of the three women. He secretly guessed in his heart the relationship between these three people and his young master.
"I will still come in the future, what should I do?" Lu Zhiyao got an advantage and behaved well. He looked at Chu Ziqian with an innocent face, but the words he said made Chu Ziqian grit his teeth.
"It wouldn't be good if others found out about exploiting the common people, right?" Chu Ziqian's words reminded Lu Zhiyao of her identity.
"I just stuffed you a big pie, how can it be considered as exploitation?" Lu Zhiyao pointed out the Gu family's affairs with a sweet smile.
The words spoken by the two confused the people nearby. Lu Zhiyao stood up and motioned for the two girls to follow her home. After taking a few steps, she heard Chu Ziqian's deep voice coming from behind.
"They will be free of charge when they come here from now on."
Lu Zhiyao raised his lips with satisfaction. After walking out of the restaurant, the two maids beside him felt embarrassed.
"Madam, is it not good for us to eat and drink together like this?" Yudie hesitated and looked at Lu Zhiyao and asked.
"There's nothing wrong with it." Lu Zhiyao smiled nonchalantly: "Not only does he want to treat us to dinner, but he will also give us money in the future. Don't underestimate the great cause of the Chu family. He is also the richest man after all. Just the three of us are
He can’t eat enough of Chu Ziqian’s.”
Lu Zhiyao was telling the truth. They had already agreed when they gave all the Gu family's business to Chu Ziqian. After deducting the Gu family's income from the expenses for Li Yuzhen and others, the Chu family and the Eighth Emperor's Mansion would
50/50.
Lu Zhiyao lowered his head and thought about how much money he would receive in vain. The two maids saw that their master was thinking about things happily, so they did not disturb her.
The sudden flash of murderous intent made Lu Zhiyao's body instinctively choose to fight back. Before Wan Yue and Yudie could react to what had happened, they were forcefully pushed aside by Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao moved back quickly and quickly, and glanced at Ling Yi who was entangled and unable to come over with his peripheral vision. Lu Zhiyao knew that the other party had a plan.
The other party was not masked, but the unfamiliar faces made it impossible for Lu Zhiyao to identify them. Why did he meet these people here? Lu Zhiyao could almost figure out the reason after thinking about it for a moment.
She didn't have many chances to leave the mansion. Even if she went out at night, Lin Yinan would definitely arrange for experts to accompany her to protect her. With Lin Yinan around her on weekdays, it was absolutely impossible for these people to break into the Eighth Emperor's Mansion and hurt her. She originally thought that she was here
There would be no surprises in broad daylight, but this time, the other party really surprised her.
The only thing Lu Zhiyao couldn't figure out was the identity of these two people. Sent by the prince? They couldn't be so stupid and thought they could kill him here, right?
This is not the first time that Wan Yue and Yu Die have encountered this kind of crisis. Because they know that Lu Zhiyao is not the kind of person who is powerless, so while they are worried about Lu Zhiyao, they also choose to keep themselves away from Lu Zhiyao.
to avoid distracting Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao faced the attacking enemy again and shouted to the two maids: "Go to the restaurant just now!"
There were only two people on the other side. As long as he and Ling Yi restrained them, Wan Yue and Yu Die had a chance to escape. Chu Ziqian was there in the restaurant, and although Chu Ziqian usually acted carelessly, he was still very reliable at critical moments.
After Yudie hesitated for a moment, she grabbed Wan Yue's wrist with determination and ran away towards the restaurant.
Lu Zhiyao did not carry any weapons. Facing the sharp sword in the enemy's hand, all she could do for the time being was to dodge. Lu Zhiyao quickly adapted to the dangerous situation, and the blood gradually boiling in her body made her movements and
The senses have also become more sensitive.
Ling Yi realized after fighting the enemy for a moment that these two people were not ordinary characters. He anxiously looked in the direction of Lu Zhiyao but could not get past. In desperation, he could only choose to move the battlefield towards Lu Zhiyao.
, and at the same time speed up his speed and strength in order to get out of this predicament as soon as possible.
As time went by, the gap between Lu Zhiyao and his opponent also became apparent. In addition, he had no self-defense weapons in his hands, so he became even more passive. The sharp blade cut off her hair that was flying in the air, and it was cold.
The sword fell under Lu Zhiyao's ear. The moment his skin was scratched, Lu Zhiyao suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.
It wasn't because of the wound on her neck, but because of her suddenly accelerated heartbeat, which almost made her unable to breathe.
His whole body leaned backward, and Lu Zhiyao took a big breath to relieve his pain. Her strangeness was also noticed by the other party. Looking at Lu Zhiyao, whose movements were obviously much slower, the other party made a decisive decision at this moment.
She caught it.
A sudden force surged through her body when the strange man arrived in front of Lu Zhiyao and was about to control her. Trying to steady his breathing, Lu Zhiyao squatted down with his whole body, and the man because of her
As she swept her legs and jumped in the air, she quickly rushed to the man's eyes, held his sword-holding wrist with her left hand, grabbed the man's hair with her hand, and directly hit him with a brute force that the man had not expected at all.
Push him to the ground.
The man was lying on the ground. The moment Lu Zhiyao twisted his neck, he saw clearly the tattoo at the junction of his shoulder and neck. It was also very unfamiliar and he had never seen it before.
The sharp pain in his head made the man realize his negligence. The bloodthirsty light shining in Lu Zhiyao's eyes and the faint smile on his lips also made him extremely concerned.
"I actually like killing people more than you do. But even if you want to kill me, you should be more restrained. If you really succeed, where will I be able to show off the face of the Eight Emperors Palace?" Lu
Zhiyao squatted there, holding the man's throat with his right hand, and asked: "Who sent you here?"
Lu Zhiyao's words did not receive any answer. The man's legs, which were still free, kicked towards Lu Zhiyao, and then he calmly got rid of Lu Zhiyao's grasp.
