Chapter 35 Extortion
After dinner, Jiang Jinyue coaxed the two fussy children to sleep, put down Mama Xue and Mama Liu, and then changed into neater clothes and went up to the roof.

She has a joint position with Li Zongyu. When she arrives, she just needs to release the pigeons from that place, and Li Zongyu will arrive in a short while.

After identifying the direction, Jiang Jinyue walked forward along the ridge of the roof. Before he had gone a few steps, a little girl panting loudly came from below.

Jiang Jinyue slapped her forehead, she is used to being alone, the two mothers are getting older and sleep deeply at night, they actually forgot the little girl who just bought them today.

When she got off the roof and was about to threaten the little girl to shut her up, the little girl looked at Jiang Jinyue with sparkling eyes and asked her tremblingly.

"Second miss, were you using lightness kung fu just now?"

Where does Jiang Jinyue's lightness kung fu come from? It's just a little lighter body, plus the merit of the inverted hook claw.

"Second miss, you are so amazing, do you want to go out? Like the kind in the drama where you are a lady from a family during the day, and a gangster at night who robs the rich and helps the poor?"

The little girl's admiration was beyond words.

Jiang Jinyue was taken aback for a moment, and she couldn't resist such an expression...

"It's okay, Second Miss, go quickly, Sanya will show you, and I will guard the door, and no one will be allowed in!"

The little girl put down the copper basin in her hand, and immediately ran to the back of the courtyard door, sitting very well.

Jiang Jinyue scratched her head, paused for a while, and then asked her in a low voice.

"You just said, what's your name?"

"Returning to the second lady, the maid's name is Luo Shi, and my mother will call me Sanya at home. Miss gave the maid a name in the morning. I am now called Lumei."

"Green plum."

Jiang Jinyue's head hurts when she mentioned this little maid who betrayed her master and disappeared without a trace, and when she mentioned Lumei to the old lady, she just wanted to get some news about that girl.

After a pause, Jiang Jinyue patted the girl's head and said to her.

"Don't call me Lumei anymore. From now on, you should be called Luluo."

"Miss Xie changed the maidservant's name."

Compared with the names used by others, Luluo's new name obviously made the little girl happy for a long time.

Jiang Jinyue blinked, she wasn't worried about the details of the person sent by the old lady, since she was seen today anyway, it's better to test her loyalty, a little girl, if she finds out if she has a good character early, she can make plans in the future.

"Okay, your miss is going out to steal from the rich and give to the poor, you guard the door carefully, and you will be rewarded when I come back."

"Yes."

Lu Luo sat directly behind the door, leaning against the door, her not-so-big eyes were shining brightly in the dark, and they were also very soft.

When Jiang Jinyue arrived at the meeting place agreed with Li Zongyu, he was surprised to find that Li Zongyu was already sitting in the hall, drinking tea at the tea table.

This is a courtyard under the name of a relative of a servant of the Marquis of Yuanshan. The courtyard is not big, with a hall, an inner room, and a small kitchen on the side. It doesn't even have the specifications of a courtyard house, but it is clean.

The pigeon under the eaves of the door stood in the cage, its round eyes looked at the two people in the house.

The silver thread charcoal on the tea table was just fiery red, and the tea on it had already boiled away, and there was a faint mist of enchantment.

It seems that Li Zongyu has been waiting for a long time.

"You know I'm coming today?"

Jiang Jinyue was very surprised.

Could it be that Li Zongyu is a fortune teller?Anything can be settled by him.

Li Zongyu personally reached out and poured a small cup of tea for Jiang Jinyue. The smoke spread in the white porcelain cup, and the fragrance of the tea wafted up.

"Today, the Eighth King went to the Marquis of Dingguo's Mansion to prevent the divorce, so you will naturally come over and have something to say to me."

"Tsk."

Jiang Jinyue took a sip from the tea bowl and nodded.

Both of them were pressed for time, one came out of the boudoir over the wall, and the other flew out from the palace bypassing Ouchi, they didn't come here to taste tea at all, they went straight to the point.

"This is the gunpowder ratio."

Jiang Jinyue reached out and took out a piece of paper from her cuff and handed it to Li Zongyu.

Li Zongyu didn't move his eyebrows, he opened it and took a glance, then put it in his sleeve.

"what do you want."

Plain and simple, straight to the point.

Trade and trade, there will be trade only when there is something handed over.

Jiang Jinyue took another sip of tea and said in a deep voice.

"Help me find someone."

"who?"

"The person who was released from the Hou Mansion four years ago is my personal maid Lumei."

She wasn't quite sure if this servant girl was still alive, but she knew that Lumei must have known a lot of things back then, and only by finding her could she find the father of the child.

No matter who this scumbag is or what his reasons are, Jiang Jinyue must find him out and tear him up if he hasn't come to claim it for so many years.

"Is there a portrait?"

Li Zongyu raised his eyebrows.

Jiang Jinyue shook her head honestly.

She even got the existence of this servant girl out of the old lady's mouth, and of course she couldn't remember what she looked like.

After thinking about it, Jiang Jinyue added.

"It is possible that the person is dead, and if he is not dead, he was hidden."

She also knew that asking Li Zongyu to send someone to find a little maid in the Hou Mansion who didn't even know her real name and household registration would be like finding a needle in a haystack, but she still had to look for it.

Holding the steaming teapot, Li Zongyu poured another cup of tea for Jiang Jinyue, with half a smile in his eyes, but he agreed.

"can."

Brew tea on the stove, the fragrance is like laurel, and the taste is like rain.

Jiang Jinyue was not in a hurry to leave, she paused before speaking.

"One more thing."

Li Zongyu raised his eyes, his eyes were filled with the mist of tea, and he didn't know if the fragrance of tea was impregnated in his eyes, he couldn't see clearly.

He didn't speak, but Jiang Jinyue couldn't help but speak first. "Does the prince have any money with him?"

Because of the matter of looking for Lumei, Jiang Jinyue deeply realized a problem. She had no money, and having no money meant that she had no people, and no people meant that she didn't have any personnel power available.

In this way, she has been in a passive state, and she can't do her best in many things, so she really can only be a woman confined to the house.

So, she needs money.

Her obvious extortion obviously took Li Zongyu by surprise for a while.

"How much do you need?"

"The more the better."

Jiang Jinyue smiled openly.

Li Zongyu lowered his eyes, his slender eyelashes were stained by the mist from the teacup in his hand.

"500 taels. It's not convenient for you to use the money on my body. Someone will send it to you the next day."

A while ago, I thought that Li Zongyu, the prince, was very stingy, and he had to mark the market price of the dowry gift so that she could remember it. Today, I feel that this is the emperor's son who stands in the center of power, and he is very generous.

Before finishing one thought, Li Zongyu poured all the boiled tea into the silver charcoal stove at hand.

The tea and charcoal fire blend together, and the kiss is hot and beeping.

"Within seven days, I need a complete design drawing."

Well, it really is that stingy, shrewd and black-bellied prince.
