Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 155: I was scared to death. I thought you wanted money.

"Brother Jiu, you did the right thing. Anyone who encounters that situation will run away. Nothing can be compared to your own life." Su Xiaomin said with a smile.

Hearing his sister's words of approval, the huge rock weighing on his heart instantly dissipated, releasing an infinite sense of relief.

It made him feel as if he was floating in the air, and his heart, which had been uneasy all day, finally settled down at this moment.

Looking at the little girl in front of him comforting him with a mature look on her face, a complicated emotion surged in Su Jiu's heart.

As if to confirm again, he asked: "Min'er, don't you really think that Brother Nine is a shameless person?"

"No, Brother Jiu's behavior is a normal reaction. You can't help if you stay there."

Su Xiaomin said with a smile. She could see from the uneasy look on the boy's face that he really blamed himself for abandoning his companions.

It seems that this cheap half-brother is not so bad, although he usually tries to please the original owner because he is in favor.

But he also wanted to make his life better in the mansion. If a man does not care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. There is nothing wrong with his behavior.

Su Xiaomin nodded secretly. Keeping a righteous mind and having a righteous thought are the foundation of her conduct in life.

If you respect me one foot, I will return you ten feet; but if you bully me even three points, I will return you tenfold or a hundredfold.

She had seen many people with sweet words, hypocrisy, and double-dealing in her previous life, and this young man just wanted to live a more reckless life for his own benefit.

To be honest, this is something that needs time and the test of reality. So far, he is just using the original owner.

Young man, it’s hard to say who will use whom in the future!

Thinking of this, Su Xiaomin's smile became even more sincere.

Her smile dazzled Su Jiu's eyes, as if everything he did was taken for granted in her eyes.

Su Jiu looked at her with eyes full of trust and dependence on him, as if he was her most beloved brother.

There were complex emotions flashing in his eyes. He had been using her all along, but she thought he loved her very much!
Whatever good things she got from her grandparents, she would share with him.

In the past, he felt that she was giving him alms out of condescension, so he never hesitated to take it and thought that he had cheated her out of it.

At this time, Su Jiu didn't think so. She should give it to him because she liked her brother!

In the past, he always resented the fact that his sister was favored by his grandparents, but he had to please her.

Only by pleasing her could he live a better life. While pleasing her, he despised her stupidity.

Looking at the innocent Su Xiaomin, Su Jiu's heart felt like it was burning with fire for the first time, with pain and guilt intertwined.

If she knew that his kindness to her was deliberate flattery, and that all that kindness was based on lies and deception.

Will she still be nice to herself?

No matter what, he must treat her well in the future, after all, they have the same blood.

Su Xiaomin saw the boy's wonderful expression very clearly, and he even felt guilty and uneasy for his hypocrisy towards the original owner.

This made Su Xiaomin even more determined to help him, "Brother Jiu, was the young master of the Shen family beaten to death?"

"No...no...he still had a breath left. The other party asked him to pay 50,000 taels of silver as compensation." Su Jiu swallowed.

They did run at that time, but they didn't really dare to run very far. They just hid in the dark and watched.

They witnessed with their own eyes that the beautiful woman killed all the secret guards around Brother Shen with a wave of her hand.

He doesn't even seem to be breathing hard, he's a secret guard!
They were glad that they ran fast, but they were also worried that Madam Hou would kill Brother Shen in anger, after all, Brother Shen was very arrogant before. "Will the Shen family come to our Su Mansion to ask for money? Brother Jiu..." Su Xiaomin interrupted Su Jiu's memories.

"He will definitely come, that's why Brother Nine asked Sister for help."

"Brother Jiu, how do you want me to help you?" Su Xiaomin asked curiously. She was reluctant to spend ten thousand taels of silver to win over a playboy.

"As long as my sister can intercede for my ninth brother in front of grandfather and don't let grandfather beat me to death, it will be fine. Hehe, it would be best if he can give me fewer strokes."

"No problem, no problem. Grandfather loves Min'er the most. Not only can he give Ninth Brother fewer strokes, but he can even not give him any strokes at all."

Su Xiaomin patted her chest with her little hands, looking determined and assured.

I was so scared, I thought the boy wanted her to give him money in private!
Not to mention getting fewer strokes of the stick, she could even not punish Su Jiu!
After all, her step-grandfather needed her to win over the prince and become his concubine. As long as she was willing to help, she could succeed.

"Min'er is so good to Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu..." Before Su Jiu finished her words, she heard her grandfather's followers shouting outside the yard.

"Ninth Young Master, the Duke is looking for you."

"Don't be afraid, brother Jiu. Min'er will go with you." Su Xiaomin was very curious about how her cheap grandfather would punish her cheap brother.

With Su Xiaomin's coquettish intercession, Duke Su did not punish Su Jiu in the end. He even readily took out 10,000 taels of silver to help him clean up the mess.

From then on, Su Jiu turned over a new leaf and obeyed Su Xiaomin's orders only. This is a story for later.

The next day.

Wen Qingwan went to the agreed private room in Zui Xiang Lou in person to wait for Shen Laomo because she urgently needed money.

Although Xiao Si and the Xiao brothers and sisters earned a lot, it was still a drop in the bucket compared to the food rations for tens of thousands of soldiers.

Wen Qingwan's carriage encountered a few beggars on the way to Zui Xiang Lou, and she couldn't bear to see them starve to death.

So she ordered the coachman, "Stop for a moment, Jinlan will give them some change."

Who would have known that when the little beggar took the silver, he quickly handed Jinlan a note.

Jinlan pinched it calmly, lowered the curtain and said, "Master, I will open it and see what it is."

She was afraid of fraud so she opened it herself and saw the words on the paper: "Madam Hou, the silver is ready, but we are being followed by our family."

The signature is Young Master Shen.

Wen Qingwan frowned. The youngest son Shen was beaten by her so badly that even his own father couldn't recognize him. There was no way the Shen family wouldn't care.

Moreover, raising 40,000 taels of silver is no small matter, so it is normal that this matter alarmed several families.

It's just that she was busy all night and didn't sleep. She was so eager for the money that she lost her vigilance and wanted to go there in person without any hesitation.

She thought for a moment and ordered, "Let's not go to Zui Xiang Lou, let's go to Yun Jin Store instead."

The Yunjin Store was the store that the Ye family gave to their mansion as compensation. It had a very good location and was now the largest cloth shop in Shangjing City.

Zui Xiang Lou and Yun Jin Dian are on the same street, and diagonally opposite each other. She must get the banknote today.

In the private room on the second floor of Zui Xiang Lou, Shen Lao Mo, Su Jiu, Fan Lao Wu, and a few other playboys gathered together again.

Under the strong request of the youngest son of Shen and his fellow playboys, the Shen family and the Su family, several other major families, did not openly send anyone to follow.

But several families sent secret guards to keep an eye on them, wanting to know who was so bold as to extort their money.

But those playboys are also talented people. They sent someone to invite the Fourth Prince to meet at Zui Xiang Tower.
