Chapter 194 Just cherish the present
Su Xiaoxi returned to Cheng's house, thinking that Cheng Shubai had fallen asleep. However, when Su Xiaoxi returned, she found that the candlelight in the room was still on.
She walked into the house quietly and found that Cheng Shubai was still asleep.
Cheng Shubai also heard her footsteps and realized that it was Su Xiaoxi who was back. He asked, "Didn't anyone get caught?"
Su Xiaoxi said: "I caught him, but I just let him go."
"What? Why let him go?" Cheng Shubai asked anxiously, how could he let go of someone who had finally been caught.
"Yang Yuanfan asked him for 100 taels, saying that after Butler Zhang gave the money, it would not be too late to arrest him." Su Xiaoxi explained.
"I need money for repairs and additions. Don't let this money go to waste."
"Yes, now is the time to spend money. Since there is nothing to do today, you should go to bed quickly." Cheng Shubai looked at the dark spots under her eyes and said distressedly.
Su Xiaoxi looked at him sideways, and while he was not paying attention, she suddenly moved forward.
Cheng Shubai was so frightened that he rolled onto the bed.
Su Xiaoxi lowered her head, looked at the frightened Cheng Shubai and said, "You still know how to be afraid? It's you who painted me like this."
Looking at Su Xiaoxi's face, Cheng Shubai suddenly laughed out loud.
"Then I'm not worried about you. If you do this, I won't be afraid that Yang Yuanfan will miss you."
Su Xiaoxi explained her relationship with Yang Yuanfan several times, but Cheng Shubai still guarded against Yang Yuanfan.
She can't help it either.
She rubbed her temples and turned to wash up, leaving Cheng Shubai behind.
Cheng Shubai thought she was angry, and looked at her back as she went out to wash up, feeling a little uneasy.
When Su Xiaoxi came back from washing and went to bed, he asked carefully: "Madam, are you angry?"
Cheng Shubai usually called her Xiaoxi, but rarely called her Niangzi.
Su Xiaoxi actually enjoyed him calling her "wife".
In fact, during this period of time, she also thought about it carefully. Separation was something that happened in the future. Su Xiaoxi felt that it was enough to cherish the time she had with him now.
Thinking of this, a smile secretly appeared on her lips.
"I'm not angry. If you can be jealous, that means you care about me. Why should I be angry?" She grabbed Cheng Shubai's big hand and played with it in hers.
Cheng Shubai held her hand tightly and said nothing.
Although he didn't speak, Su Xiaoxi could already feel his heart.
This night, she felt that the two of them were much closer.
Over at Zuixian Tower, not long after Butler Zhang returned, he rummaged through boxes and cabinets, collected 50 taels, and hurried back to Zuixian Tower.
Yang Yuanfan was sitting at the door waiting for Butler Zhang.
Seeing Butler Zhang come back, he raised his lips and said, "Yes, fortunately you didn't run away. If you had run away, my knife would have drawn blood!"
Butler Zhang knelt on the ground, offered the silver with both hands, and begged Yang Yuanfan: "Young hero, I have given you these 50 taels, but you must not kill me! I have seniors and juniors, so nothing can happen to me. Son!"
"You also know that you are old and young!" He actually has a wife and children, and he can do that kind of thing to Lu Yuyan. Thinking about it, the knife in his hand is ready to move.
He wished he could cut Butler Zhang to pieces with a thousand knives before he could relieve his anger.
But thinking about the 50 taels tomorrow, he held back. Anyway, within three days, Butler Zhang would have to go to the cell, and he would get the punishment he deserved.
Zhang Guanjia said: "I still have 50 taels and I'll give it to you tomorrow. Then, hero, I'll go back first."
"Go back." Yang Yuanfan waved his hand at him.
Butler Zhang ran away in a flash.
Back at the palace, Butler Zhang tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He was penniless now. Where could he raise the 50 taels of silver?
If he doesn't give it to him, that person will definitely have him arrested and taken to the government. In this case, his life will be over.
Or run away.
No, that man is very skilled in martial arts. If he gets caught, he will die.
Moreover, he had already given the man 50 taels of silver. If he killed him, the 50 taels would be considered free of charge.
He thought about it and decided to ask Wang Daqing for some money tomorrow.
Wang Daqing is Wang Facai's father. Ever since Wang Facai was sent to the frontier, there hasn't been a day when he didn't hate Su Xiaoxi and Cheng Shubai. Wang Daqing asked him to set the fire. After it was done, he gave Zhang Guanjia 50 Two silver coins.
He spent a lot of 50 taels of silver, but fortunately he still had some wages.
After cobbling together, I was able to collect 50 taels for Yang Yuanfan.
He thought that Wang Daqing would not refuse to give him money. If he dared not to give him money, then he would expose Wang Daqing. Anyway, he was the initiator, he just used money to do things.
With a decision in his mind, Butler Zhang slowly fell asleep.
Of course, he didn't sleep for long. As soon as the sun rose the next day, he woke up and prepared to go to Wang Daqing to ask for money.
I waited in the room for about half an hour.
It was finally bright. He saw some movement in the yard, and then hurriedly walked towards Wang Daqing's room.
