Chapter 5: Late Night Visitors

"That's right, didn't the third sister always say that she liked the 'red jade carved pendant' in the Treasure Pavilion, let me help you buy it? Don't... The third sister can't even get this silver? The people of the Treasure Pavilion only promised me to buy the things in advance for the sake of our Chu family's face..."

Chu Liuyue looked embarrassed.

The Great Elder next to him almost didn't come up in one breath when he heard this.

199,000 taels!

Even if it is the Chu family, it is not easy to come up with so much money at once!

He looked at Chu Xianmin, even if he liked Chu Xianmin no matter how much he liked it, he was also very dissatisfied at this time, and scolded:

"Minmin, you're too ignorant!"

If the name of the Chu family is sacrificed, then this thing must be bought!

Otherwise, if this matter spreads, the outside world doesn't know what to say about their Chu family!

Chu Xianmin opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but he couldn't say anything.

She didn't let Chu Liuyue buy anything for her at all, not to mention the red jade carving pendant worth 200,000 taels in the Treasure Pavilion!

It had been famous for a long time, and it was a treasure made of the finest luxury ruby.

Although it is helpful for spiritual practice, it is far from worth 200,000 taels! So for so long, no one has bought it at all!

I didn't expect Chu Liuyue to be so cunning!

This is to make her resist the 200,000 taels!

Chu Xian was trembling with anger, if it weren't for the fact that the Great Elder was still there, she was afraid that she would have rushed over and tore Chu Liuyue's mouth apart!

For so many years, the silver she saved by herself was only four or five thousand taels, and these two hundred thousand taels were a big hole for her!

However, it is related to the reputation of the Chu family, but she has to take this matter down!

"It's... Great Elder rest assured, this money Min Min will definitely take it out himself..."

She gritted her teeth and smiled reluctantly.

"My mother has always loved Min Min, and she promised before that if Min Min could win the first place in this college assessment, she would meet one of Min Min's requirements. ”

Chu Xianmin's mother, Lu Yao, was born in the Lu family, and she was one of the best businessmen in the entire imperial capital, with strong assets and should not be underestimated.

She said this, on the one hand, to show that no matter what, she could get this money and would not embarrass the Chu family, and on the other hand, it was also to use the Lu family's momentum to elevate herself.

Sure enough, at the mention of the Lu family, the Great Elder's expression eased a lot.

"Your mother really loves you the most. However, it's also because you're already good. I remember, the academy assessment started in a month, right?"

The Tianlu Academy, where Chu Xianmin is located, is the top existence in the entire Yaochen Kingdom, and those who can be admitted are all enviable geniuses!

Even if the children of the royal family want to enter, they have to be assessed!

Chu Xianmin is also favored in the Chu family because of this identity.

"Yes. ”

Chu Xianmin was a lot more confident, and then he didn't know what to think, and a trace of shyness appeared on his pretty face.

"Brother Jin also - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also said that if Min Min can win the first place, there will be a reward. ”

Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly.

The so-called Brother Jin in her mouth is naturally the current His Royal Highness the Prince, Rong Jin who has a marriage contract with Chu Liuyue!

Looking at her like this, everyone can see that there must be something between her and Rong Jin!

The Great Elder's eyes lit up:

"Really?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely gifted and capable, and is deeply loved by His Majesty.

The Chu family is now in decline, if you can climb the big tree of the prince, it will naturally be different!

Chu Xianmin seemed to suddenly think of something, glanced at Chu Liuyue quickly, and explained a little nervously:

"Sister, don't get me wrong, Brother Jin and I really don't have anything! He must have taken care of me in every way because he had a marriage contract with you. If my sister can enter the academy, Brother Jin will definitely treat you more-"

Her words came to an abrupt end.

Who doesn't know that Chu Liuyue was born with waste wood, and he can't even do normal cultivation, let alone enter Tianlu Academy?

As for the marriage contract... If someone really took this marriage contract to heart, Chu Liuyue would not be bullied so far!

Chu Ning gritted his teeth, but his heart gradually became cold.

I thought that if I waited for another month, Yue'er and the prince would be engaged and I would be able to change the status quo, but... Now it seems that it is nothing more than his wishful thinking!

I heard that the prince seemed to be interested in Chu Xianmin, but I didn't expect it to be so blatant!

They didn't take Yue'er into account at all!

Pity his Yue'er, who is infatuated with the prince...

Chu Xianmin secretly looked at Chu Liuyue proudly, wanting to see the pain on her face, but unexpectedly, Chu Liuyue didn't seem to care about this matter at all. Instead of being shocked and disappointed, he laughed.

"That would be great. As long as the third sister can come up with this money. ”

Chu Xianmin was stunned for a moment, how could she think that for Chu Liuyue, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't seem to be as important as the 200,000 taels...

"It's over, my father and I will go back first. ”

After speaking, Chu Liuyue really turned around and left with Chu Ning.

"You-"

Chu Xianmin felt like a punch on the cotton, and suddenly felt a blockage in his chest.

Chu Liuyue, who walked to the door, suddenly stood still and turned around.

Her dark and cold eyes stared straight at Chu Xianmin, with a heavy pressure that was speechless!

"By the way, the third sister will open her mouth in the future, but you have to be careful when you speak. If I hadn't come back in time today, wouldn't everyone have thought I stole your stuff and ran away?

Chu Xian suddenly shivered!

She got it!

She must have known it!

Chu Xianmin wanted to argue a few sentences, but he felt an invisible force enveloping his head, unable to move!

It wasn't until Chu Liuyue's figure disappeared outside the door that she gradually eased up, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat!

A ruthless color crossed Chu Xianmin's eyes.

It seems that we have to check the situation of Song Lian and the others first, and then find a way to completely solve Chu Liuyue!

...

Chu Liuyue and Chu Ning returned to the remote courtyard where they lived together.

"Yue'er, you're tired today, let's rest!"

Chu Ning patted Chu Liuyue's head distressedly.

Chu Liuyue looked around quickly, although he had the memory of his predecessor, but when he really saw it, he still sighed in his heart.

It is said to be a small courtyard, but in fact it is just a few dilapidated houses, and the inside of the house is almost surrounded by four walls.

It is clear what life the father and daughter had before.

Speaking of which, I'm afraid that no one will believe that Chu Ning, who was once the next heir of the Chu family, and Chu Liuyue, the nominal eldest lady of the Chu family, would live in this kind of place.

Chu Liuyue nodded lightly:

"Daddy too. ”

Chu Ning's lips moved, and he wanted to ask something, but in the end he just sighed lightly.

"Yue'er, Daddy knows that you like the prince, but... I'm afraid that he is not your lover. Chu Xianmin's talent is good, and he has the support of his family, you are so targeted today, I am afraid that it is-"

Chu Liuyue smiled lightly.

"Don't worry, Daddy, Yue'er knows it. ”

Chu Ning's worry was full of worry, and when he met the smiling but calm eyes, he was suddenly speechless.

Yue'er, she... It really seems to be a little different...

He nodded, rubbed his daughter's hair, and then turned around.

Chu Liuyue's gaze fell on his barely supported right leg, and he quickly moved away, and then pushed the door into the room.

Outside, night hangs, and a light ray of moonlight streams in through the worn windows.

Chu Liuyue walked to the window, her fingertips tapped gently, and her eyes were deep.

She had already asked during the day, today was the tenth day of the seventh month of the eighth hundred and thirty-second year of the Yaochen Kingdom, and compared with the calendar of the Heavenly Order Dynasty, it happened to be the day when "she" died for one year!

In other words, she was reborn in Chu Liuyue a year later!

With her current identity and strength, if she wants to take revenge, she really needs to plan well...

Suddenly, her expression changed, and she quickly looked back at the bed:

"Who!?"

There was a dead silence in the room! The air was almost frozen!

In a moment, a pair of ice-blue eyes appeared in the dark room!

Chu Liuyue was stunned for a moment, and then she saw that it was actually a huge white lion, obediently nesting on her bed!

"Xue Xue?"
