The crown prince's favorite girl, she found another good match

Chapter 74 Death of Hu Yueyue

Zhao Minan, who was sitting next to him, also poked his head out and was surprised to see Zhou Jinan.

She obviously remembers him too.

Zhou Jinan's expression was not so good, but he had no intention of getting into trouble with them, so he said directly: "Let's go around them and take the path."

Zhao Qiong lazily leaned on the carriage, looking thoughtfully at the carriage of the Marquis of Jing'an as it left Juechen.

Zhao Min'an asked: "Why is he going to Suzhou?"

He gently fiddled with the floating tea leaves in the cup with his fingers, his eyes like a dark swamp that could not be dispersed: "Who knows, it has nothing to do with us."

"Did someone over there contact us?" he asked.

Zhao Minan nodded: "Yes, something may be done soon."

He suddenly said: "You get along well with Li Baojia."

She was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what he was referring to, and bit her lower lip unconsciously with her upper teeth: "It won't delay things."

Zhao Qiong sneered, suddenly leaned forward, grabbed Zhao Minan's neck, and pinched her until her face turned purple before suddenly letting go: "That's the best thing, remember your identity."

Zhao Minan coughed quietly beside her, and there was a purple palm print on her delicate neck. She covered her neck and leaned against the carriage.

Zhao Qiong didn't care about her anymore, but looked at the overlapping mountains outside the carriage with a unclear expression.

Jiangnan.

What a great place to stir things up.

-

Hujia Village.

Seeing that the unknown brother and sister would never come back, Hu Yan disappeared without a trace from Hujia Village since he was dragged away.

That night, someone posted Hu Yan's previous accusations of drugging and forcing a good girl on the streets.

A few people in the village who could read read it to the villagers, and everyone talked about it for a while.

Grandma Yao also shook her head repeatedly: "What a crime, what a crime, this Hu Fuzi looks like a talented person, but he does these dirty things behind his back."

"Who says it's not the case? I almost acted as a matchmaker for him before. That would have harmed a girl from a good family. Fortunately, it didn't work out. Fortunately, it didn't work out."

The mother-in-law next to me also looked scared.

If this really happened, wouldn't people be allowed to throw rotten eggs at her door?

A good girl was ruined.

Hu Yueyue waited for them to leave in the afternoon, then quietly took her clothes and rings and went to the market.

Since they won't come back again, they probably don't want these things, so why not give her some money in exchange.

She thought of the man who looked down on her again, and shook her fingers tightly. She was reluctant to part with this thing, but the matchmaker in the city could introduce a good husband-in-law.

It’s just that the introduction fee is not cheap.

If you didn't catch this handsome man who suddenly appeared, you can't miss it.

Therefore, she was reluctant to part with it, so she had to take it for granted.

In order to prevent being recognized, she gritted her teeth and abandoned the nearest market and went to a place a little further away. There were several pawn shops with good reputations nearby.

When she secretly entered the pawn shop, the shopkeeper inside was not surprised.

There are all kinds of people pawning things in pawnshops, and there are also people whose origins are unknown. There are not many people who are so secretive.

He raised his eyes and looked at the tightly covered woman: "What do you want to be?"

As soon as Hu Yueyue put the clothes there, the shopkeeper only glanced at them: "One tael of silver."

Hu Yueyue said: "Such good clothing material... can only be worth one tael of silver? Don't lie to me."

The shopkeeper said: "It's because the material of the clothes is good, otherwise this number is useless, you can go to other places to see, the number is higher than mine, I don't want your clothes and I will give you money for nothing."

Hearing what he said, Hu Yueyue hesitated again. After thinking for a while, she said, "Okay, one or two is one or two."

As she said that, she looked left and right to see if there was no one around, then took out the wrench from her sleeve and said, "What about this one?"

The shopkeeper took the ring, looked at the light, and his eyelids jumped up and down: "Girl, where did this thing come from?"

Hu Yueyue wrapped her coat tightly and said, "Don't worry about it, just tell me what price you can afford."

The shopkeeper hesitantly held out five fingers.

Hu Yueyue said dissatisfied: "Five taels? Isn't that too little?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "500 taels."

"W-what? Five..."

Hu Yueyue was almost speechless in shock.

Not five taels, not 50 taels, a full 500 taels!

What is the concept of 500 taels? She has never seen such a lot of money in her life!
Hu Yueyue was confused. The huge surprise overwhelmed her. She was overjoyed and said: "Really?"

The shopkeeper nodded: "But the amount of this transaction is too huge. I have to ask the boss for instructions. Girl, please come with me."

He opened the curtain behind him and made an inviting gesture to Hu Yueyue.

Hu Yueyue held the ring finger tightly and went in.

The shopkeeper led her twisting and turning, the road became more and more deviated, and even went down a tunnel.

Hu Yueyue started to get scared. When the shopkeeper saw this, he just smiled and said: "Girl, don't be afraid. We are very honest when doing business. 500 taels sounds like a lot, but in fact, our shop's daily turnover is not less than this amount."

Hu Yueyue thought about it, how could such a big shop still be greedy for her 500 taels, so she went down with him with peace of mind.

As a result, after passing the secret passage, we did enter a courtyard, which looked quite grand, but it was deserted and desolate.

Walking through a small path to a small pavilion, the small pavilion is not like most of the pavilions built by the lake are hexagonal or octagonal, but if you look closely, you will find that this place is actually seven-corner.

There are even seven supporting pillars underneath, which looks quite unique.

In the pavilion stood a man in white with his back facing them. The man stood there with his hands behind his back, but his back was not as tall as ordinary men, but surprisingly thin, like a pole, as if it would fall if the wind blows.

The shopkeeper asked Hu Yueyue for the finger ring, then took it forward and handed it to the man in white respectfully.

He picked it up and looked at it in his hand for a while and suddenly said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it didn't take any effort to get it, and it's him who came, hahahahaha."

The shopkeeper bowed his waist and said: "Then the man behind..."

The man in white put his finger in his cuff: "Do you know what kind of person is best at keeping secrets?"

The shopkeeper resigned.

He returned to where Hu Yueyue was standing, and she asked him: "Where's the ring? You don't want to keep it for yourself, do you?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "How could it be possible, girl, I will give you the money right now."

He reached for the lapel of his chest and took out a few banknotes. Hu Yueyue's eyes lit up, and he was about to reach out to get them. Unexpectedly, he took a step back suddenly, and pushed her into the lake as soon as he stretched out his hand.

"Ahhh, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Seeing Hu Yueyue struggling on the lake, the calm water made waves, and then gradually returned to calm. He just glanced at it indifferently and said: "Idiot."

She dared to pawn something off without knowing anything, and she would only have herself to blame if she died.

You have to be greedy for this kind of advantage.
