Chapter 859

Chapter 859 Good people are bullied by others

The area he is mainly responsible for is the entire Cold Palace.

On weekdays, it is nothing more than delivering some daily necessities and doing some logistical chores for the maids, concubines, and ladies in the cold palace.

Regardless of the fact that the affairs he is usually responsible for are relatively complicated, he is quite a 'deterrence' in front of the concubines who have been relegated to the cold palace.

After all, if those concubines want to get some special care in the cold palace, no matter how high their status was before they were thrown into the cold palace, they have to pay him money.

And if you don’t have enough money, he may not be able to do anything for you.

Therefore, no one in that cold palace dared or was willing to offend Zhou Xing easily.

And last time, the steward of the House of Internal Affairs that Jiang Shiyun contacted was also Zhou Xing.

But this guy, after accepting the ten taels of silver given by Jiang Shiyun, he didn't do anything for her.

Although Jiang Shiyun was angry, she was helpless against this trend.

She didn't need to think too much to understand that Zhou Xing clearly felt that the silver she gave him last time was too little.

And what he did this was just to deliberately embarrass her while she was weak and sick.

The ultimate goal is still on the silver coins.

Although Jiang Shiyun was usually an extremely diligent and thrifty woman, she had no choice but to give in to Zhou Xing again under various uncomfortable circumstances.

When that Zhou Xing came to Jiang Shiyun's residence again, the expression on his face was nothing but disgust.

After all, the house he lives in now is much better than Jiang Shiyun's.

Although Jiang Shiyun's appearance was quite beautiful, Zhou Xing, who had already become an eunuch, did not have any surprise in his eyes from beginning to end when he looked at her.

Some are just the desire for silver and the disgust and disgust for this place.

"Why did you call me here?"

Jiang Shiyun looked at the impatient look on the other person's face. Although she was very angry, she also knew that this person was someone she could never offend.

If this person is offended, it will be almost impossible for her to get any help from here.

So she could only look at the other person with a humble face, and her tone revealed incomparable respect.

"Eunuch Zhou, look at the ten taels of silver I gave you last time..."

Jiang Shiyun was interrupted by Zhou Xing just in the middle of her words.

But seeing his face turned solemn, his triangular eyes immediately glanced at Jiang Shiyun impatiently.

"With just ten taels of silver, you still want to invite the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital?"

"How is this possible?"

"To tell you the truth, I have already given those ten taels of silver to the imperial doctors as a meeting gift."

"But those imperial doctors, not only have no intention of coming here to treat you, but their expressions are full of contempt and disdain."

"So forget about your thoughts."

After Zhou Xing said this, he walked towards the door.

His expression was full of determination.

Just like a sentence, I don't want to say more to Jiang Shiyun.

At this time, Jiang Shiyun felt so wronged.

She could even use the ten taels of silver to buy some meat buns and hunt wild dogs on the streets.

Those wild dogs might even wag their tails at her.

However, when she gave the other party the ten taels of silver, the other party not only refused to do anything for her, but also treated her with this attitude.

How could this not make Jiang Shiyun secretly annoyed and angry?

But she was still angry, and she still had to do the next thing.

Otherwise, Zhou Xing would be offended this time.

After this, if he intends to embarrass himself with the charcoal fire, he may not even be able to survive this winter.

At this moment, Jiang Shiyun, although she was unwilling to do so, she had no choice but to take out her small leather box from the corner of the wall, which she regarded as life-like.

Prepare to take some belongings from the box and give them to Zhou Xing again.

Jiang Shiyun's actions were also noticed by Zhou Xing, who was very greedy for money.

But at the beginning, he didn't take Jiang Shiyun's behavior seriously.

Because in his opinion, the woman not far from him only brought him ten taels of silver the first time.

Presumably the other party is unlikely to have much money to save.

So at this time, what he felt more in his heart was contempt and disdain for Jiang Shiyun.

However, when Jiang Shiyun slowly opened her small leather box, Zhou Xing who was at the door was immediately stunned.

Because the stuffed banknotes are really too tempting.

Although Zhou Xing had been working in the palace for more than ten years, this was the first time he saw so many banknotes.

According to his estimate, if each of the banknotes in the box contained a face value of one thousand taels, the total number of banknotes in the box must be at least 89,000 taels, and possibly even more.

After more than ten years of hard work, Zhou Xing still has more than 100,000 taels in savings.

But when he suddenly saw those silver coins, he felt extremely shocked in his heart.

At the same time, another thought arose in his mind.

That is, how great would it be if I could snatch the tens of thousands of taels of banknotes directly from that woman's hand?

After all, I may not be able to save those banknotes even though I have spent years searching for them.

Although this idea suddenly appeared in Zhou Xing's mind, it also shocked him.

But immediately, a firm look appeared on his slightly pale face.

At the same time, he thought to himself, to put it bluntly, isn't the woman in front of him just a showgirl who was relegated to the cold palace not long after she entered the palace?

Not only does she have no power in the palace, but there are also no big shots in her hometown.

If not, how could she have lived alone in the cold palace for such a long time?

Moreover, the house she lived in was so dilapidated.

For such a woman, it would be a waste to let her keep those coins alone.

Then why don't I just take advantage of...

When Zhou Xing thought of this, Jiang Shiyun's voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Eunuch Zhou, since you just said that ten taels of silver are not enough, I will give you one hundred taels of silver."

"But I don't have a banknote with a face value of one hundred taels here."

"How about you take back the one thousand taels of silver notes first, and then return the remaining nine hundred taels to me when you have time."

"Or you can ask your eunuch to bring the remaining nine hundred taels over."
