The Regent's Tender Darling

But with Lin Jiaojiao's eyes across from him, Chen Luo also felt a little guilty, and whispered: "His family is a little poorer, and his brother is not a good person, but... he is very good, a gentleman, very good."

As he spoke, Chen Luo lowered his head shyly.

Lin Jiaojiao nodded slightly and asked Chen Luo to tell her about her sweetheart.

Although Chen Luo described Ma Pingfeng very well, Lin Jiaojiao always felt that there was something strange, but she couldn't tell it for a while.

"Third sister, his brother owes a lot of money. If I don't pay it back for him, he will be beaten to death. Now the money is not enough..." Chen Luo begged with his eyes.

"What?" Lin Jiaojiao was a little shocked.

So much money has been stolen. How could it not be enough?

According to common sense, ordinary people's gambling debts, no matter how much they owe, will not exceed one hundred taels.

After all, a gambling house is not a temple where Bodhisattvas live. When you can no longer afford to pay back what you owe, they will never lend you money again.

If you owe debts in many places, it will only be a thousand taels at most.

Now that I have stolen four thousand taels, why is it not enough?

After thinking for a moment.

"Luoluo! Have you been deceived?" Lin Jiaojiao asked with a frown.

Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head and explained: "Luo Luo was not deceived. Brother Ma is very good. He will not deceive Luo Luo."

This explanation was obviously not convincing enough. Chen Luo thought for a while and said: "Third sister, last time I invited Brother Ma to Taohuawu, I took the same path you led before, and then I ran into those domineering people. ”

"They were so vicious that they even beat Brother Ma and kicked me."

Anyway, there were women in the room. She opened her clothes, and a bruise appeared on her fair waist, which was now a little yellow, which was enough to tell what kind of injury she had suffered.

"Third sister, Brother Ma returned the love token I gave her back then, for fear of dragging me down, but I didn't accept it."

Listening to this, it seems that this person is not a bad person, maybe he really comes from a poor family.

After all, Qin Zhi's family also has a bastard father and several lazy brothers, and he also owes a lot of gambling debts.

Thinking of Qin Zhi, I can't help but feel a little sad.

Chen Luo shook Lin Jiaojiao's hand, "Third sister, please help me, I am still short of six thousand taels of silver..."

"What? Six thousand taels?" Lin Jiaojiao didn't know what to say for a moment.

What exactly did you do to owe ten thousand taels of silver? At this time, she didn't quite believe that Ma Pingfeng's brother was a gambler.

Could it be that he borrowed some loan shark? Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to owe so much money.

"Luoluo! Please allow me to send someone to investigate this matter. If it is true, and if Ma Pingfeng is also a gentleman, I can help you, and I will also help him find his brother, so that you can Have a better time from now on.”

Lin Jiaojiao does not dislike scholars who study. If she can rely on her talents and studies to get a good name, she can also give Luo Luo a good life.

"Third sister, do you mean you are willing to help me?"

Chen Luo's face suddenly became happy and he looked up at Lin Jiaojiao expectantly.

This crying and laughing look made Lin Jiaojiao a little helpless. Finally, she touched Chen Luo's head and said, "You, I really don't know what to say about you."

"Third sister, Brother Ma and I have never done anything outrageous, and Brother Ma is not that kind of person..." Chen Luo lowered his head as he spoke.

She knew that this was a very embarrassing thing for the Chen family, but she just liked Brother Ma...
