When Li Shichen heard that he wanted to see an official, he immediately became anxious: "I can't see an official! I can't see an official! If I want to see an official, then... then what dignity does our Duke's government have!"

"What does the reputation of your Duke's palace have to do with us? Our master only looks at the results, not the process." The two men said, cupping their hands towards Li Shichen, and said: "Your Majesty, although we are thugs, we are also very particular. Man, I’m here to give you an ultimatum today. It lasts for three days. If my master doesn’t see what he wants by that time, you will be doomed.”

After saying these words, the two thugs turned and left.

Looking at the backs of the two people, the smile on Li Shichen's face gradually disappeared.

Damn it!

He actually refused to give her a day's grace, so she had no choice but to look for Jiaorui.

With this in mind, Li Shichen turned around and walked to Jiaorui's residence.

At this time, Jiaorui was asking Mrs. Wang to prepare things. She planned to go see Gu Qingyuan. She was the last one to find out about such a big thing. She was really ashamed of the way his wife had cultivated her.

At this time, a servant came to report that the prince was here.

When Jiaorui heard this, she frowned subconsciously.

What is the prince doing here at this time?
He loves Chuntao so much, but now that he is not with Chuntao, how could he be here with him?

Thinking like this, Li Shichen had already come in from the outside.

Jiaorui immediately put on a smile and greeted him: "Your Majesty, why are you here free?"

Seeing Jiaorui's face, Li Shichen's depression suddenly disappeared.

He walked forward and reached out to hold Jiaorui's hand: "Rui'er, you are the most considerate!"

Hearing this, Jiaorui smiled slightly and said, "What are you saying, Your Majesty? It's not because of what Madam taught you. Madam said, those of us who do everything right should share our worries for Your Majesty."

Li Shichen nodded, yes, he didn't take concubines just to feel good. If he was in a bad mood, what kind of concubines would he take?

"Ruier, how is your life today? Do you have enough monthly money?"

When Li Shichen mentioned money, Jiaorui became cautious.

She looked at Li Shichen and said with a smile: "Since when did the Crown Prince care about the monthly payment for the house? Of course someone will worry about such a small matter for you."

"I don't care about this kind of thing. I just care about you, Rui'er. If you need anything, just tell me." Li Shichen warned.

Jiaorui nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, I understand."

"Rui'er, you are so beautiful." When Li Shichen spoke, his eyes fell on Jiaorui's earrings. He often went to Fengyue places, so he knew a lot about jewelry.

With just one glance, he could see that the earrings were expensive.

Jiaorui smiled and reached out to pat Li Shichen's chest: "Your Majesty, it's true, I have said this so many times and you don't feel tired of it."

"There's nothing to be tired of. As long as I'm with you, I will never feel tired."

After speaking, Li Shichen pushed Jiaorui down into the red tent...

On the other side, at Gu Qingyuan's place, the people Sui Han arranged to leave hurried in.

After she whispered a few words to Sui Han, Sui Han's expression changed instantly.

She told the man to keep quiet, then turned back to the house and closed the door.

Seeing Suihan being so cautious, Gu Qingyuan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so cautious?"

"Madam, the person arranged by this servant is back." Sui Han walked up to Gu Qingyuan and said seriously: "The reason for the prince's sudden show of good will has been found." "Oh?" Gu Qingyuan became interested: "Tell me about it. "

"Madam, the reason why the prince suddenly showed his kindness is because he owed a gambling debt. They said that the prince would be asked to pay back 1000 taels in three days." Sui Han said.

"1000 taels?" Gu Qingyuan raised his eyebrows: "It is indeed a lot of money. If the Duke's Mansion comes up with this, I'm afraid the whole manor will have to peel off all the skin."

Sui Han nodded: "So when the Duke asked him to treat you well, the Crown Prince went along with the situation and wanted you to help him repay the money. What a beautiful idea!"

Gu Qingyuan nodded, it was indeed a good idea.

She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, her dowry was always inexplicably small. At that time, she was trembling in the house, walking on thin ice, and could not speak at all, so she could only be watched.

But even so, it's still hard to prevent.

Thinking about it now, it seems that every time the dowry disappears, the prince will come looking for her.

This time, he had no chance.

"Madam, what should we do now? Do we want to tell the Duke about this?" Sui Han asked.

When Gu Qingyuan heard this, he immediately shook his head.

How could you tell the Duke of such a big thing?If the Duke of Guo knows about it, then he will settle the matter for the Crown Prince!

For this kind of thing, of course the bigger the fuss, the better.

"Don't worry about it." A faint smile appeared at the corner of Gu Qingyuan's mouth: "Hurry up and take back the shop on West Street. Not only will we ignore it, but we will also add insult to injury!"

When Suihan heard this, he immediately retorted: "Madam, what are you talking about? What are you doing to add insult to injury? You are just doing what you should do."

After saying these words, Suihan went to deal with the affairs of the West Street shop.

At this time, Mrs. Chen had no idea about this matter. She was even quarreling with Chuntao.

"You are really a lunatic. What good will it do to you to deal with Gu Qingyuan?"

Mrs. Chen rubbed her temples. In the past, she wanted Gu Qingyuan to die, but this woman was too difficult to kill, and she didn't want to confront Gu Qingyuan now, in case he was angry and wanted to leave the shop on West Street. , then she is going to drink the northwest wind!

"She must die. If it weren't for her, my child wouldn't have died!" Chuntao still said the same thing, and she was already stunned.

Mrs. Chen saw this in her eyes and gritted her teeth and said: "Damn girl, you really can't tell the priorities. Do you think just a few words from Gu Qingyuan can make your child disappear? The real crux is Ji Wenyue!"

"What Ji Wenyue! Don't try to trick me into dealing with Ji Wenyue with you. Now I just want Gu Qingyuan to pay for his life and don't want to cause any complications!" Chuntao said in a serious tone.

If it were normal, she wouldn't mind working as a gunman for Chen.

But now, she has no time to meddle in other people's affairs!

Chen looked at Ji Wenyue like this and sighed helplessly.

Then, she took a deep breath, calmed down her mood, and said patiently, word by word: "Do you still remember that Ji Wenyue said it twice after he came over, and each time The Duke of Guo said she was right!"

Chuntao frowned, disapproving.

Mrs. Chen patiently continued: "The first time she spoke, the master listened to her and wanted to see the official no matter what. The second time she spoke, the master listened to her and wanted to resolve it privately. Think about it for yourself, is that true? What’s going on!”

When Chuntao heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned.

After a short silence, she suddenly said with a look of horror: "Could it be...could she know that I did what happened back then!"
