I, cat demon, fall in love and make money!

Chapter 18

Murong Li paused with his fingers, and looked at the car curtain with cool eyes.

Another assassin?

He lifted the curtain and looked outside.

"My lord."

The guards riding horses in front bowed their hands together and saluted. They didn't look at the man in front of them in astonishment as they did when they encountered assassins in the past.

He glanced forward and was immediately surprised.

Standing two feet in front of her was a middle-aged woman in a gray cloth shirt. She was holding a wooden sign aloft, with five large characters written in bright red cinnabar on it——

"Meow Seventeen, pay back the money."

He leaned out slightly, saw Miao Shiqi squatting next to the carriage, and asked, "What's going on?"

Meow Seventeen, who had been cheerful just now, was a little cautious now.

She stood up in human form, looked at the indifferent woman with a troubled face, then stepped on her right foot with her left foot, and replied in a low voice anxiously, "This is Aunt Zheng, Xiao Qiusheng's mother."

After a pause, she looked at Murongli cautiously, and added, "I... I just stayed in their house for a year and a half, eating up their family's wealth..."

Murong Li understood.

It turned out to be Mrs. Zheng, no wonder she asked Miao Shiqi for money so confidently.

He looked at the patches on Mrs. Zheng's body. There was no decoration on her whole body. It could be vaguely seen that her face had been carefully maintained in the past, but now it may be because of poor food, her complexion has turned a little sallow.

But this Madam Zheng...

Murong Li frowned slightly, focused his true energy on his eyes, and stared straight at Madam Zheng.

Strange, if he is not mistaken, Mrs. Zheng should have died prematurely, it is impossible to live till now, why...

It wasn't until he noticed the traces of demonic aura on Madam Zheng's body protecting her lifeline that he reacted abruptly.

He subconsciously looked at Meow Seventeen.

She saved Mrs. Zheng's life?
Seeing her uneasy look when she frequently looked at Mrs. Zheng, he thought to himself, she must also feel guilty and uneasy for causing her family to become like this, right?

But if she saved her life for Mrs. Zheng, then what would it matter for her to eat some family property?
He has seen countless wealthy people who are willing to give up all their wealth just to live for a few years. Their wealth is dozens or hundreds of times greater than that of the richest man in a small town in Qingfeng Town, so in a sense, Miao Shiqi owed Zheng Dafu, Zheng Qiusheng and his son, but she alone did not owe Mrs. Zheng anything.

"Huo Dongzhou, go and get 100 taels of gold to give to Mrs. Zheng across the way."

Murong Li looked at the head guard at the side.

The dignified wife actually stopped at the intersection to collect debts in person regardless of face. I am afraid that it is really difficult and there will be no rice for the pot.

If he doesn't help Miao Shiqi pay a little gold and silver enough for the family of three to live for several years, Miao Shiqi will be worried no matter how far he goes, and will not be able to sleep at night and have a disturbed conscience.

The chief guard Huo cupped his hands, "Yes, my lord."

Meow Seventeen suddenly turned her head to look at Murongli, then bit her lower lip tightly, opened her mouth and said, "Thank you...thank you!"

With tears of emotion and guilt welling up in her eyes, she bent down and bowed deeply to him.

It's not that she doesn't want to return some gold and silver to the Zheng family, but she doesn't have it herself.

Although the current owner, Murong Li, is rich, but she just followed him and was troubled to find her. She was already very sorry in her heart, how could she dare to shamelessly ask him for gold to give to others?

But what she didn't expect was that after seeing her embarrassment, he would take the initiative to help her out.

Her heart was soft and full, and her blue eyes looked at him without blinking.

It turns out that the prince is such a good person.

He looks so indifferent and difficult to get along with, but in fact he is soft-hearted and considerate.
