"Ruan... yes."
Fifteen thousand taels of gold, if exchanged for the reputation of the Ruan family, is actually nothing on weekdays.
However, there were too many accidents in the past two months, which made him feel powerless. This feeling has not passed for many years. Could it be that he is really old? Looking at the woman with clear and innocent eyes in front of him, but who oppressed her in the blink of an eye so that she could not fight back, Ruan Xiuren suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves forward, Boss Mu, Ruan has never met you in so many years." I’ve met such a strong opponent. If Ruan’s guess is right, those shops that Ruan sold more than a month ago must have been bought by Boss Mu.”
Lou Qingwu raised her eyebrows, just took a sip of tea from the teacup, noncommittal, neither said yes nor no.
The interest in Ruan Xiuren's eyes was unprecedented, "Well, this time Ruan won't lose, I just hope that after this time, Boss Mu can give Ruan a chance to breathe."
Lou Qingwu smiled, "It also depends on how long Patriarch Ruan will be out of breath."
It's not good if it's long enough to give him a chance to stand up.
"Ten days later, Jin Silou will come to collect the gold utensils. I hope Patriarch Ruan will not disappoint Mu again. Let me go."
"Housekeeper, send off Boss Mu and Treasurer Jin."
"Yes!" The butler's face still hasn't calmed down yet. Hearing Ruan Xiuren's words, he forced a smile, "Boss Mu, Treasurer Jin, please!"
Lou Qingwu stood up and walked out. Shi Shiran's back, slender and tall, made Ruan Xiuren breathless. Until the housekeeper returned to the wing room, his expression was still very uneasy, "Patriarch, do you really want to pay Jinsilou an extra 15,000 taels of gold?" In this way, how long will it take for the Ruan family to recover
Ruan Xiuren rubbed the center of his brows, "Apart from this, what else can I do?"
Just let Boss Mu give ten more days, and now there is still a problem in front of him, even if it is ten days, it is only enough to make the goldware quickly, but he suddenly took out 60,000 to 70,000 taels Gold, how do I get it
"Master, what should we do with so much gold?"
Ruan Xiuren clutched his heart and coughed suddenly, the events of these days almost made him unable to breathe.
The housekeeper was taken aback, and quickly patted Ruan Xiuren on the back, "Patriarch, you have to take care of yourself."
Ruan Xiuren waved him away, "I'm fine." He was just worried about the gold.
If it really doesn't work, I can only... move the dowry.
"Master, if it doesn't work, the prepared dowry can be..." The butler thought of something and couldn't help but speak. After all, those are extra, and he can only use them if he can't take them out.
"Well, let me think about it again."
He wouldn't move unless it was absolutely necessary. Ning'er hadn't woken up yet, and he needed the dowry to exchange for Ruan Zhen's medicine.
- Lou Mansion, Yifeng Pavilion.
When Lou Qingwu returned to the Yifeng Pavilion, Lan Bai immediately stepped forward and asked, "Master, how is it? Did Patriarch Ruan agree?"
"accepted."
"Great!" As long as Patriarch Ruan agrees, then wait for the second lady to sit and wait.
Hahaha, let's see how she bought the dowry for the second lady herself this time!
The master is so stingy, he would never be willing to pay for it.
"Don't get too excited, it's not certain whether Ruan Xiuren will touch the dowry." She just gave an introduction, but if Ruan Xiuren didn't lead to the dowry even if he detonated his whole body, there would be no way .
"Ah? Could it be that Patriarch Ruan would really rather destroy the Ruan family for the sake of that Ninth Madam?"
"It's not impossible." After all, since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty.
Since Ruan Xiuren made compromises in front of Ruan Zhen again and again, it was probably all because of the Ninth Madam whose identity she still does not know. Now it depends on whether Qian Mian can get the portrait of the Ninth Madam. With her identity, she can follow the clues, continue to find out what happened to the Ninth Madam, and what is in Ruan Zhen's hands, and then solve them one by one. At that time, Ruan Zhen will completely lose the support of the Ruan family.
"master?"
Suddenly, a voice secretly came out from under the window lattice, Lou Qingwu turned around, just in time to see a man with the appearance of a servant coming in from the window.
Lan Bai was startled at first, and just about to do it, the man snorted and lifted off the human skin mask on his face, revealing a thousand-faced face, "Hey, don't do it, you little girl is so cute ! Don’t break the painting, it’s something my master managed to get, isn’t it easy!”
Lan Bai waited until he saw clearly that it was Qian Mian before withdrawing his hand. Hearing what he said next, his eyes lit up: "Have you got the portrait of Mrs. Ninth?"
"Of course! Whoever is the master, there is nothing that the young master can't get!"
After finishing speaking, she handed the picture scroll in her arms to Lou Qingwu as if she was offering a treasure with thousands of faces. Lou Qingwu's eyes were also stained with a bright color. After taking it, she untied the red ribbon wrapped around the picture scroll.
After untiing it, hold the scroll handle in one hand, and slowly unfold the scroll with the other...
She was very curious about what kind of beauty it was that made Ruan Xiuren willing to give up such a large family fortune for her.
At the same time, she was also very curious about the identity of the Ninth Madam, as it was impossible for a person to appear out of thin air.
She naturally has her reasons for showing up and hiding her identity.
Just waiting for the picture scroll to be fully opened, and when Lou Qingwu could see the woman on the picture scroll clearly, she froze completely in place for an instant, her eyes widened, and an unbelievable astonishment flashed through her pupils, and finally transformed completely. Cheng Kongmang was uncertain, and finally stared at the woman in the painting, with gentle eyebrows, beautiful appearance, slightly raised vermilion lips, and a sweet smile that captivated the country.
But…
"How can it be?"
The scroll in his hand fell to the ground with a "click".
Lou Qingwu became uneasy and restless in an instant, and even had countless emotions approaching in her mind, which almost completely messed up her nerves.
She took a step back abruptly, breathing heavily, and the picture scroll was still reflected in the pupils of her wide-open eyes.
The picture scroll was thrown on the ground indiscriminately. At this moment, it looked like a demon to her.
Qian Mian and Lan Bai were startled by Lou Qingwu's reaction, they realized that they couldn't help but stepped forward, and asked anxiously, "Master, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Lou Qingwu shook her head, slowly lowered her arms, a sense of helplessness suddenly flashed in her eyes, and in the end she only felt a chill eroding her heart and soul, making her feel that what was the point of doing all this
"Master?" Lan Bai was startled by Lou Qingwu's gaze, and called out uneasily.
Lou Qingwu waved her hands weakly, "I want to be quiet..."
After finishing speaking, he walked forward slowly, crossed the scroll that fell to the ground, until he walked out of the room and stood in the sunlight, still feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his whole body was cold.
Qian Mian looked at her figure uneasily, lowered his head in doubt, and picked up the scroll, because he was in a hurry to show it to his master, he hadn't seen it yet, opened the scroll, and waited for the woman on the screen to appear in sight, Qian Mian was also stunned Living.
