Anyway, Xiao Ke owes her something, even if there is no IOU, he is willing to give it, and she can always get it. If he is not willing to give, and sincerely wants to repay the debt, it is useless to have an IOU. She wouldn't bother with him about this, as if she had never known this person.

So the IOU or something, it doesn't make sense to her at all.

The IOU was paper, and it burned out at once; But the satin purse is a bit difficult.

Zhao Ruxi saw that it was about to burn in his hand, so he hurriedly threw the purse to the ground, took out the golden hairpin from the jewelry box and picked it up and let it burn, until he couldn't see his true face, and then let Qingfeng take it out and bury it.

When Qingfeng entered the house, she said, "In the future, if he has something to hand over to you, you will follow." But you must not let people see it, let alone tell others, and the same is true for uncles and ladies, you know? ”

"Yes." Qingfeng hurriedly answered.

For Qingfeng, Zhao Ruxi is relieved. What she didn't worry about was Ma Sheng.

After all, Ma Sheng is the nursing home of the house and has followed Zhao Yuanxun for many years. His loyalty to Zhao Yuanxun must be more than that of her. And he shoulders the heavy responsibility of her safety, if he feels that he can't bear the consequences, he will probably tell Zhao Yuanxun about it.

But Zhao Ruxi didn't care. She wanted to see if Ma Sheng's mouth was tight.

Zhao Yuanxun is a good father and knows how to measure. If he knew that she was in contact with Xiao Lingyan, he would definitely come to ask her. When the time comes, she can just prevaricate with a reason, but it's not a big deal. It is also good to test Ma Sheng's loyalty in this way.

After all, she is a person with a lot of secrets, and she will have to contact Xiao Lingyan in the future. If the people around her are not loyal enough, she is in danger. Danger often comes from all around us.

The next day, Zhao Ruxi went to school as usual. As soon as she got out of the academy and got into the carriage after school at noon, Qingfeng came over and said to Zhao Ruxi: "Girl, that fifth master, let you go to a house in Dongquan Lane." ”

Zhao Ruxi's eyebrows raised slightly, not surprised.

She commanded, "Let Ruber go straight over." "I was very satisfied with Xiao Ke knowing how to change places.

Ruber was already familiar with the roads of Bac Ninh, and soon drove the carriage to Dongquan Lane, and finally stopped in front of a black gate.

Because it was autumn, it was a little cold in the morning and evening, and Qingfeng had been preparing a cloak for Zhao Ruxi in the car. She put it on before getting out of the car, put on her hat too, and covered her face with a handkerchief, which was exactly the same as Xiao Lingyan's dress yesterday.

Ma Sheng stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the door soon opened. The one who opened the door was the imperial guard named Wang Tong.

"Miss Zhao, please." He moved out of the way.

Zhao Ruxi bowed slightly at him and stepped over the threshold and walked in.

This house is an ordinary house, only a small courtyard, and some trees and flowers are planted in the yard. The main house looks like about five rooms, and there are corridors built in front of the wings on both sides.

Zhao Ruxi didn't go to the corridor either, and walked in directly from the middle corridor.

Xiao Lingyan was already standing in the hall waiting for her.

Xiao Liuzi saw Zhao Ruxi coming in, and after a salute, he retreated, and retreated to the gate with Wang Tong. Seeing this, Qingfeng and Ma Sheng hurriedly retreated outside with them, consciously staying away from the hall.

Zhao Ruxi went in and sat down, and glanced at Xiao Lingyan: "Didn't I say that since yesterday, when we go out of this door, neither of us will know anyone?" Why did you call me over again? ”

Xiao Lingyan said solemnly: "I want to partner with you to do business, how about it?" ”

"No, I refuse." Zhao Ruxi said.

There are many profitable businesses in the world, which line of work can she not do? The money he made was indispensable. Why do you have to get involved with Xiao Lingyan to increase the danger?

"Don't worry, listen to me." Xiao Lingyan said, "You did jewelry design as soon as you came. I know that you have a purpose in everything you do, and I checked along your practices and ideas, and found that people nowadays do not pay attention to jadeite. ”

He looked at Zhao Ruxi and said seriously: "Do you want to get the jade out, but you lack manpower?" We can work together. I don't show up, and it's not convenient for me to come forward. Let's work together, you are in the light, I am in the dark. How about I'll help you when you need something? ”

Zhao Ruxi looked at him and didn't make a sound, weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

"Xu Xi, I know that you can take your family to avoid other places, but this is a symptom but not a cure. If the third child is stunned to embarrass you, you will flee to the ends of the earth, and your life will not be easy. What's more, you really can't bear to watch your grandmother and your master still running around at such a young age? Wu Huaisi and Gong Cheng don't care about it for the time being, Old Man Kang and Wu Zong are enough for you, right? You really can't bear to watch them survive alone, and their families are ruined? ”

Zhao Ruxi sighed.

The one who knows you best in the world is your enemy.

She has been an opponent with Xiao Ke for several years, and Xiao Ke really knows her. Knowing that she has never been willing to let down people who are good to her, she can always find the loopholes in her heart to make her comply.

She knew that she couldn't do it without being involved with Xiao Ke, and Xiao Ke also knew this.

This guy is also responsible. She had said that kind of thing, and if he hadn't recognized her as a person, he wouldn't have come to her again today.

As soon as Xiao Lingyan saw her like this, she knew that she was moved, and continued: "You also know my personality. Although we are fighting to be opponents, in fact, it is just to amuse the two old men. As a person, I think I still deserve your trust. Wait for the second child to sit on the throne, with me, you don't say do whatever you want here, you can go sideways in the capital. Besides, I'll be careful not to put you in danger. It's not good for me, is it? ”

Worried that the wall had ears, he was reluctant to say sensitive words such as the second prince or Xiao Lingpu, so he simply called Xiao Lingpu and Xiao Lingheng by the second and third children.

"How do you want to work together?" Zhao Ruxi asked.

"I sent some people to the south, bought the mines, hired local people to mine the rough stones, opened the windows and shipped them to the capital. You receive it and polish some out and design it into jewelry. He said.

Speaking of this, Xiao Lingyan and Zhao Ruxi both frowned at the same time.

In fact, in order not to be discovered that this is Xiao Lingyan's business, Xiao Lingyan should buy the mine, cooperate with the locals to mine, and then the locals come forward to sell it. Zhao Ruxi's people went to the south, pretending to be purchasing, bought these rough stones with open windows, and then transported them back to the capital. That's the way to go.

But Zhao Ruxi has no one available at hand.

Although Kang Shilin and Wu Zong should have someone in their hands, they have families. It's okay to let them take shares, once they even have the raw materials in their hands, the people of their family will find that there is a lot of interest in it, and they will inevitably jump out, grab this business into their own hands, and kick Zhao Ruxi out.
