There is some truth to what Shadow said. After pondering for a while, she still shook her head and looked at everyone with a firm attitude.
"Then let's go back and find a place to stay in the countryside. Anyway, we can't stay here and we can't cause trouble to Mr. Leng."
"I'm not afraid of you. What are you afraid of?"
Leng Qiu suddenly appeared at the door, with a perfect arc at the corner of his mouth, and a pair of charming red phoenix eyes squinting at her.
When Shadow saw him coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and pointed at him, "Yes, Mr. Leng is very wealthy. If the house is burned down, he can rebuild it. He is not afraid of trouble."
Just when Leng Qiu was about to reply to her, Su Muer frowned and glared at her with some displeasure.
"Shadow, please don't be rude. Mr. Leng took us in as a favor, but if you don't take us in, it's your duty. How can we say such a thing?"
When Shadow heard what she said, he curled up his neck, stuck out his tongue, and took two steps back.
She bowed her upper body and bowed, "Su Mu'er will never forget Mr. Leng's great kindness, but Mr. Leng offended the Xiong family in order to save us. There will inevitably be trouble in the future. It would be better if we leave now."
Leng Qiu shook the folding fan in front of his eyes and shook his head gently.
"Miss Su, there is no need to worry about this matter. The Xiong family has done many evil things, and sooner or later they will get the retribution they deserve. You don't have to leave. You can stay here with peace of mind. No one can come in and out of my cold house at will."
When he said this, a sly look flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, Shadow was busy echoing,
"Mr. Leng is right. Miss, let's stay here. It's great to have food and drink here."
"You are the only one who talks a lot."
Ah Qiu glared at her angrily, fearing that the young lady would be angry because of this.
Su Muer pondered for a while and nodded slightly, "In that case, let's stay here for a while and wait until we have a good place to go before we leave."
Although she said this, she knew in her heart that it was so easy to find a good place.
"Aqiu, Shadow, you go and do your work first. I have something to say to Mr. Leng."
Seeing this, several girls withdrew one after another.
Leng Qiu was a little surprised. He stood in front of her and looked at her with curiosity.
"Miss Su, what's the matter?"
She took two steps forward, bowed slightly, and saluted.
"Mr. Leng, I have something to ask of you, and I hope that Mr. Leng can fulfill it."
"Miss Su, please speak directly if you have anything to say. You are my savior, Leng Qiu, so there is no need to be polite."
Leng Qiu's expression suddenly became deep, and his voice was extremely gentle.
Seeing his strange look, Su Muer hurriedly took a few steps back.
"Mr. Leng, I want to ask you to borrow some money. We have to make money, and we can't stay like this forever, but I have no capital, all my money was burned by the fire, and we don't have anything valuable to pawn."
She was a little embarrassed at this point.
If she had to open her mouth to let others borrow money, she felt that her life was really miserable.
But now she has no way out and no way forward.
Leng Qiu responded without thinking:
"Okay, is ten thousand taels enough?"
Ten thousand taels?
Su Muer hurriedly waved her hand, "You don't need that much, just one thousand taels. I just want to open a small shop to temporarily ease my livelihood."
She didn't expect that Mr. Leng would be so generous, asking for ten thousand taels, but she didn't plan to borrow more, she would have to pay it back.
"Okay, I'll ask the cashier to bring it to you later."
"I'll give you an IOU."
"No need." Leng Qiu waved his hand directly, "You don't need to pay an IOU for a mere thousand taels of silver. I believe in Miss Su's character."
In fact, he wanted to say that he could just give her a thousand taels of silver, but he was sure that if he said that, she would refuse directly and would not even borrow it again, so he took it back.
Su Muer pondered for a while, pursed her lips and nodded,
"Well, I won't write the IOU, but I, Su Mu'er, remember Mr. Leng's affection. When I earn enough money, I will pay it back with interest."
"You're welcome, Miss. Leng is deeply honored to be able to help Miss Su."
A clear gaze suddenly appeared in his eyes, and the way he looked at her was different from before.
"Master Leng." She noticed the change in his eyes, pursed her lips and said softly: "Thank you very much for saving me today, Master Leng."
Leng Qiu frowned and looked at her, "You know it's me?"
"You know, you don't just need to look at the face to see someone, you can tell the difference by looking at the figure and hearing the voice."
She raised her eyes lightly and looked into his eyes, filled with gratitude.
Leng Qiu stared at her, suddenly pursed his lips and chuckled, then spread out the folding fan in his hand and held it in front of his chest to hide his surprise at her.
"Miss Su is really good at reading people. You don't think I don't dare to show my true face to others, so I wear a mask, right?"
"No." She shook her head and chuckled, "Xiong Batian committed a heinous crime. If I had the skills, I wouldn't let him have an easy time."
Speaking of this, and thinking of the evil things Xiong Tianba had done, a look of disgust and disgust flashed in her eyes.
Leng Qiu raised his eyes and looked out the window, and the corners of his mouth trembled, "Evil will be punished, and there will be people who will do justice for heaven."
Thinking of the purpose of coming to the Eastern Jin Dynasty this time, a cunning look flashed in his eyes.
The Xiong family doesn't just have Xiong Tianba doing evil things on the street, otherwise he wouldn't have mobilized troops to come.
The evil hands of the Xiong family have reached out to the Qingcheng Kingdom. Xiong Heng, the king of Laiyang, is very ambitious. He takes advantage of the distance from the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to dominate here. Not only that, he also wants to annex the Qingcheng Kingdom and vows to conquer the Qingcheng Kingdom.
Qingcheng Kingdom has been conquered, and he plans to dominate Qingcheng Kingdom alone.
If his worthless son hadn't done him bad things, he would have achieved hegemony long ago.
Therefore, Leng Qiu repeatedly entered Laiyang Prince's Mansion for sneak attacks but failed, which is why he showed up at Su Muer's house last time.
In order to assassinate Xiong Heng, he did not hesitate to buy a house in Laiyang and made preparations for a long-term assassination.
Su Mu'er held the thousand taels of silver notes and was filled with emotions.
She was once a wealthy family in Sujiazhuang, but after arriving here, she turned out to be someone who needs to borrow money to survive. This is really ironic.
But in order to survive here, she is not afraid of starting over again.
This time she decided to take matters into her own hands when it came to finding a shop.
Princess Jiaoyue came, and she asked Yuan Min to persuade her to go back. She knew that when she came, the people looking for her would not be far away.
The loss of the princess is not a trivial matter. I'm afraid the palace has already exploded.
Princess Jiaoyue, however, had a look of reluctance. She snuggled into Yuan Min's arms, her eyes filled with unhappiness.
"I won't go back. Even if I want to go back, I want you to go back with me."
She refused to let him go, nestling in his arms and refusing to come out.
Yuan Min sighed helplessly.
"It's not that I want you to go back. You ran out like this. If the emperor knew that you came to my place, he would think that it was me who instigated you."
