In the end, Lu Jiuqing bought the person with a thick stack of silver notes.

The middle-aged man was counting the banknotes in his hand, with an uncontrollable smile in his eyes. In the end, he did not forget to remind Lu Jiuqing: "This stinky girl is very stubborn, and it is not easy to tame her. Don't be soft when you bring her back, you must treat her well." Teach me something.”

Lu Jiuqing nodded: "I understand."

The man said no more and left while counting the banknotes in his hand.

In the silent Merlin, only Lu Jiuqing and the runaway slave who was kneeling on the ground and shivering were left.

It was late winter now and the weather was cold. She was wearing tattered clothes and her face was blue from the cold.

Lu Jiuqing knelt down in front of her again, looked at her with his eyes, and said slowly: "You asked me to save you, and I did."

The woman immediately stood up and knelt down, kowtowed to Lu Jiuqing, and murmured: "Thank you, noble man, thank you, noble man."

Lu Jiuqing didn't move and said calmly: "It's useless to say thank you."

The woman was stunned and looked at her blankly.

"Did you see how many banknotes I used to buy you just now?"

"..."

The woman's pupils trembled and she pursed her lips tightly.

"No need to thank me, just return those banknotes to me."

"...I, I don't."

The woman looked a little confused and looked at Lu Jiuqing helplessly.

Lu Jiuqing looked at her for a moment, and then said: "If not, then you can pay the debt yourself. I still need someone to serve me, how about you come over? Don't worry, I won't beat you or scold you easily. I'll wait until you pay me back." If you clear today's money, I will let you go free."

The woman pursed her lips tightly and said nothing. She was obviously hesitant and unwilling to come.

Lu Jiuqing's eyes became colder, and he stood up and said, "You are a fugitive slave from the prince's palace. Once you leave this place, you will inevitably fall into the hands of the prince again. If you follow me, the prince will not be able to find you. You can figure it out yourself."

After that, he turned around and left.

The woman panicked and grabbed the hem of Lu Jiuqing's skirt and looked up at her: "Your Excellency...can you really hide me from the Crown Prince?"

Lu Jiuqing: "Do you have any other choice?"

The woman was silent for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said: "I will go with the noble man, and I will work like a cow and a horse to repay the noble man for saving me today."

Lu Jiuqing's face looked better. He stretched out his hand to help the person up and whispered: "Go out of the small side door and find a cold-faced girl in black clothes. Tell her that Lu Jiuqing asked you to find her, and she will settle you down."

The woman nodded, took Lu Jiuqing's token, and left first as Lu Jiuqing said.

Lu Jiuqing glanced at the sky, then calmly turned around and walked towards the banquet hall.

When Lu Jiuqing arrived, he found that Tang Xiuyan and Lu Menghua were still sitting there, looking unhappy, while the others were gathered in groups in twos and threes chatting animatedly.

It was obvious that the two men were isolated.

Sitting outside the crowd like this, I must be sitting on pins and needles at this moment, very uncomfortable, right?

Lu Jiuqing sneered and was about to find another quiet place when a surprised voice came from his ears: "Miss Lu?"

Lu Jiuqing was stunned for a moment, then laughed and replied: "Mr. Yang."

The person who called her was Yang Yuheng from Fengyu Tower.

I haven't seen anyone before, maybe they haven't arrived yet.

Yang Yuheng happily came towards Lu Jiuqing, accompanied by two scholars who looked familiar.

Yang Yuheng walked up to her and said with some surprise: "I didn't expect to see you here."
