After making an agreement with Qi Yuan, Lu Xiyue and Xiao Yunheng rested for the night, and received a message from Qi Yuan around noon the next day, and followed her maid to Zhizhou's mansion.

After Qi Liangyu met Xie Zhizhou in the first place, he found out their identities early on.

Both of them are descendants of the top noble families in the capital.

It's no wonder that he was able to invite such a strong backer as the son of the Marquis of Huai'an.

Thinking of meeting and talking with the two of them, Qi Liangyu put on airs and stared straight at the not far away.

A man and a woman came side by side, stepped into the inner hall, and even brightened the whole room.

After all, Qi Liangyu was an acquaintance, but he had never seen such a good-looking and right person.

A bustling place like the capital is really easy to raise people, look at this long skin, it looks like it was cut out of a painting.

When he is promoted in the future, maybe he can also get a taste of this spiritual energy.

A look of amazement flashed in his eyes, and his distracted thoughts returned to his soul. He immediately got up and welcomed the two to sit down.

"A Yuan, you should go back." He glanced at his daughter who was staying beside him.

Qi Yuan curled her lips, a little dissatisfied: "Why should I go back?"

Qi Liangyu coughed lightly: "My lord, is it inconvenient for you to be here?"

"...Obviously Mrs. Lu is as old as me."

The little girl curled her lips, obviously not very happy.

Lu Xiyue smiled and interjected: "Miss Qi, go back first, I didn't hear you just now, there is something wrong in the yard."

The little girl snapped back to her senses, and gave her a look of "Thanks for your reminder", held up the hem of her skirt to say hello to Qi Liangyu, and hurriedly led the maid out.

Waiting for people to leave, Qi Liangyu smiled helplessly: "My daughter is just spoiled a bit."

"Miss Qi was raised very well by adults."

Lu Xiyue was not flattering.

Qi Liangyu stroked his beard and smiled, looking back and forth between the young girl and the young man.

Except for the initial greeting, Xiao Yunheng didn't say anything else.

After a short chat, Lu Xiyue explained the purpose of her visit: "As for Lingmei, that is, Mrs. Ji's matter, what does your lord plan to do?"

These words are quite straightforward.

Qi Liangyu calmly suppressed the twitching feeling at the corners of his lips. Facing a girl who was about the same age as his daughter, plus he had made a mistake first, he really couldn't put on airs.

He sighed, and retreated to advance: "My girl is old and confused, and she did some things. Miss Lu might as well look at this official's face, and let it go."

Qi Liangyu is not someone who can bully others.

As soon as the words fell, his subordinates brought out a box of white silver ingots.

You don't need to count, but you can see that there are more than 2000 taels of silver ingots in this box, which can only make up for the loss of Hualupu.

The sun outside slanted down and shone on the ingot, and the reflected light was so bright that it dazzled the human eye.

Lu Xiyue was startled, Qi Liangyu's overtures were beyond her expectations.

She glanced at Xiao Yunheng.

The young man remained expressionless, as calm as ever.

The interaction between the two fell into Qi Liangyu's eyes, he curled his lips, and motioned for the servants to cover the box and carry it aside.

After hearing about the young couple's deeds from his subordinates, he knew that these two were people who would never be at a disadvantage.

Even if the other party's family background stabilizes them above them, they will definitely not bow their heads.

Perhaps this was raised in the family of high-ranking officials and nobles, and their courage and strategy are very invincible.

After all, he is a Zhizhou, and he still has some eyesight.

Whether it's the Huai'an Marquis Mansion or these two people, it's troublesome if they get involved.

"This is a little bit of my heart, I hope you two can accept it." His posture was low enough.

After thinking for a while, Lu Xiyue gave him face.

"Since my lord said so, I can't pursue it anymore."

Qi Liangyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but fortunately, this little girl is quite interesting.

"but--"

The girl's face showed embarrassment, as if she had suffered a great loss.

Qi Liangyu was sitting upright. Generally speaking, when these two words were mentioned, most of the words behind them were not good.

as predicted.

"It's a small matter that the shop loses money, but it's true that it affects the reputation." She smiled faintly.

The girl's voice is shallow and meaningful.

Xiao Yunheng listened quietly, without any surprise.

2000 taels of silver is a lot, but Lu Xiyue is not a good stubbler, if Qi Liangyu can protect Mrs. Ji once, he can have a second time.

Qi Liangyu couldn't help but frowned: "Miss Lu's words mean..."

Could it be that the little girl is greedy and wants to extort more money.

This is a bit too much.

Lu Xiyue got straight to the point: "I would like to ask my lord to stop meddling with Mrs. Ji's affairs in the future."

Saying this is actually a bit unbelievable.

After all, they are all brothers and sisters.

Not to mention Qi Liangyu, even the servants in the room looked at her strangely.

Qi Liangyu was quite calm, without changing his face, he said: "Miss Lu, where did you start talking about this?"

"It has been five or six years since your lord came to Zhizhou. In about half a year, you must congratulate your lord. If something happens at this juncture, it may affect your promotion."

Zhao Pinqian heard these words from Xie Zhizhou.

Qi Liangyu cupped his palms covered by his wide sleeves, and looked at her with a little more surprise in his eyes.

These things were obtained through his many inquiries, how did she, a little girl, know.

Just as she was wondering, she turned to think of her original identity, and this doubt was answered.

Lu Xiyue said again: "Your Excellency must also know about my affairs with the Ji family. If there is one, there will be two. Your Excellency can protect you once, twice. It is difficult to intervene every time. This is not a good thing for you and me."

Qi Liangyu values ​​the future, she can see that this is not a bad thing.

"I know that when Mrs. Ji first came to Dongping City, she wanted to ask my lord to deal with me. After my lord refused, she would rather fight with me. It can be seen that she will not stop there."

"Are you really going to risk your family's future?"

She had one last word.

Qi Liangyu's expression is complicated, does this implicate the family's future?

But what she said was right, Mrs. Ji was stubborn, he couldn't persuade him, this time the incident happened, he was thinking of his family.

It's not that Qi Liangyu didn't think about the future.

Now that Lu Xiyue has brought it up again, he has to think more carefully.

When her eyes touched Qi Liangyu's unpredictable expression, Lu Xiyue knew that she had persuaded him.

After saying this, she said goodbye to Xiao Yunheng.

Out of politeness, Qi Liangyu asked them to stay for dinner, but Lu Xiyue politely refused, and the two left the main hall.

Turning the corner out of the long corridor and heading towards the gate, I met Mrs. Ji who was being assisted by Madam Niu, who was driving menacingly.

"Lu Xiyue, you are very brave!"

There was a long corridor between the two sides, Mammy Niu stopped and looked into the distance and stood side by side, like a pair of neighbors, her eyes were full of anger.

If that girl Qi Yuan hadn't slipped her tongue, she really wouldn't have known that Lu Xiyue was so bold!
