Chapter 183 Cooperation
While he hadn't figured out my little trick yet, I used the excuse of going to Lirong Mansion and escaped from his study.
Taking Xiao Hui, they rode a carriage to Li Rong Mansion, where Li Rongchang happened to be.
So I walked in carelessly. When he saw me, he asked curiously: "Huh? Why are you here today? Where's Jing?"
I smiled in an unfathomable way, which made him feel creepy. "Don't be silent, what's wrong with him?"
I then bowed and said, "Greetings, Master Chang. The young master has something to deal with and cannot come, but he specifically asked me to come over to remind you."
Li Rongchang couldn't sit still any longer: "Jing, is there something wrong? Tell me what happened?"
So I concealed the details and told the story of Li Cong eavesdropping in his house and stealing things, adding fuel to the fire.
He slammed the table beside him and said, "How ridiculous! Someone, call the housekeeper!"
Chunying happened to be standing next to him. After hearing what he said, she turned around and went out. Not long after, she brought back a middle-aged man with a slightly gray beard.
Li Rongchang asked: "Butler Chang, why are you so careless in selecting servants? You actually picked someone who was kicked out of another mansion and was eavesdropping on me?"
Perhaps Chunying had already told the housekeeper Chang on the way, so he bowed repeatedly and said: "Young Master, I know I'm wrong! There were not many people working here before the New Year, and he had experience working in other mansions. Seeing that he was an experienced worker, we kept him as a temporary worker, but we didn't know that we were letting a wolf into the house! Later, after the incident with Rui Er Niang in Tushan Mansion, they were short of people, and this servant sneaked into Tushan Mansion again. It is common for maids and servants to move between various mansions. When we are busy, we really don't have time to find out his details. If he lies, it is difficult for us to tell!"
Li Rongchang sighed and said, "Alas, it sounds like this is difficult for you. Well, you should be more careful in the future. No matter whether you have made progress or not, you must find out clearly and check whether you were kicked out because of something wrong in Beppu."
Butler Chang nodded repeatedly, wiped the cold sweat from his head, and took the opportunity to leave.
Li Rongchang apologized to me with a smile: "Miss Lanxiang, I'm so sorry! I'll send some good things to Jing later, and pack some for you too. Please help me put in a good word. Also, are you not hurt?"
I sighed and replied, "It's OK. I was slightly injured and recovered. But you don't have to spend money to send me anything. I have a request."
Li Rongchang said seriously: "Miss, please speak up and I will see if I can help you."
I glanced at Chunying, and Li Rongchang understood and asked her to leave as well.
I saw that we were the only two people left in the hall, so I whispered, "Master Chang, I heard that you run a lot of casinos. I wonder if there are people who lost money and need money to make up for their losses?"
Li Rongchang nodded: "Yes, usually our casino lends money to them. But why do you ask this, young lady?"
I smiled and said, "I have some spare money in my hand. It's just sitting there in the bank. Why don't you let me invest in some stocks?"
Li Rongchang pondered and said: "It's nothing on my side, but Jing, does he know about the money you have?"
I replied: "Of course I know, all my money came from his fingers. Without the master's approval, how dare the subordinates embezzle it, right? Especially since the master is the master of Qingqiu, who is unparalleled in the whole wilderness."
Li Rongchang replied: "If that's the case, it's fine. You can set a time with me and you can send it to me later or I can send someone to pick it up. But I have to inform Jing when I see him about this."
I made a "please" gesture: "Sir, you can talk to the young master at any time."
He nodded, and then showed a somewhat rogue smile: "Jing pampers you so much now? But my method is useful?"
I spat softly, stood up and said, "Sir, please don't lead our young master astray. The young master is kind and kind, don't teach him those underworld tricks! Sir, I'm going back now."
He laughed angrily behind me and said, "What has your young master not seen in the business world? Do you think he is a ten-year-old child?"
I pretended not to hear, led Xiao Hui out of the yard, got in my carriage and went home.
Xiao Hui didn't dare to say anything until he got into the car and he breathed a sigh of relief. He asked me, "Girl, are you in a hurry to use the money?"
I shook my head: "I'm not in a hurry to use it, I'm saving it for you and Xiaowei."
Xiao Hui tilted his head and asked curiously: "Huh? We both have food, lodging, and clothing in the mansion, and we are not in a hurry to use the money."
I tapped his forehead and said, "Silly boy, can you still live in the mansion forever? Xiaowei will become a girl in a while, and you will probably be a boy in a few years. You two don't have a mother's home, so don't I have to take care of everything?!"
Xiao Hui blushed: "I didn't...I didn't want..."
I pouted: "You don't have anything? You don't want to marry Xiaowei? Then I don't care, right? I'm happy to spend all the money, why not buy something to eat? Xiaowei is now a beautiful girl, you'd better be careful that your childhood sweetheart can't resist the one who comes from heaven. If a handsome young man comes one day and coaxes her away, I'll see where you cry!"
Xiao Hui's face turned deep red, and he said anxiously: "That won't work! I, I just feel that I am not worthy of her..."
I stopped smiling and said seriously, "Don't think about anything else. Love cannot be measured by benefits. I see that you two are in love and are a perfect match. But there are too many changes in this world, so don't let go when you can. Don't wait until it's over to regret it, and end up in a state of 'it's hard to meet each other even though we are so close yet so far away, and it's a pity to meet each other so late'. You write books for me, and I will give you a share of the royalties. Keep them with me temporarily, and you can take them out when you need them. Whether you and Xiaowei want to live in the city or the countryside in the future, I will prepare a house and servants for you. The young master also said that he will prepare everything for you when the time comes. You can rest assured."
Xiao Hui bowed to me and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, young lady and young master, for your help!"
I helped him up: "Hurry up. You are not like the others. The young master personally asked to let you into the mansion. Learn more from your brothers Ruofeng and Ruiyang in dealing with people. You will definitely be good in the future! You are already great, don't underestimate yourself."
Xiao Hui smiled a little: "I understand."
“That’s right!”
I chatted with Xiao Hui along the way. When I arrived at the mansion, I heard that Tu Shanjing had gone out to discuss business, so I went back to the room first and took out the wrapped Sunlight Crystal.
I saw that Lanxiang was no longer there, so I looked carefully and her face slowly appeared.
"The girl is back?" she said in surprise.
"Yes, I just came back after finishing my errands. Where did you go just now? Why can't I see you?"
"I don't know. I was just lying down and sleeping."
"Then lie down again and let me see?" I asked curiously.
Sure enough, her figure disappeared from the crystal again.
"Haha, you are amazing, like a god, and you can even be invisible!"
