Chapter 210 Three Scoundrels

ow. She desperately pounded on the door. She brought Xiao Yuge here just hoping to have someone as a shield. While drinking the flower tea, she had been very careful, even secretly switching her cup...“Mother…” Qian Si Chen knelt on the ground, his heart ripped apart by something unseen. He understood what Mother said, but he couldn't let go of Ge’er. Now, every time he closed his eyes, all he saw was Ge’er's image. Even when he revised official documents, her face appeared before him. Everywhere around him, everything seemed like her, yet nothing felt quite right. He was going mad.

"Chen'er, when you truly sit in that position, perhaps you will understand that love, compared to power, is nothing more than a mere pastime."

"My son understands!"

Qiān Sī chīn shī lost his soul and walked out of the Fengqī Palace dejectedly. The words his mother had just spoken echoed in his ears, and he stood silently for a long time: Would he only be able to get what he wanted freely if he sat on that position

If so, then let that day come quickly!

"Your Highness!" Ling Tian rushed over at that moment.

"What happened" Seeing Ling Tian's unusual expression, he must have something on his mind. So, he put aside his thoughts and motioned for Ling Tian to walk over to the side.

According to our people, Miss Xiao is said to be ill...

"Is the songbird sick" Qian Sicheng immediately panicked and hurried towards the palace gate.

"His Highness!" But just at this moment, An Gonggong, the Emperor's attendant, suddenly ran over.

"An Gonggong."

An Gonggong ran out of breath, his forehead covered in sweat, panting heavily as he said: "Your Highness, so you're here! The old servant has finally found you. Your Majesty wants to see you at the Yuxin Hall for a discussion. Please go quickly."

"Imperial Tutor An, do you know why Father Emperor summoned this palace"

"As for the prince's words, this old slave doesn't know."

Qian Si Chen pursed her lips, furrowed her brows, and subconsciously looked at Ling Tian.

"Your Highness, please hurry, don't keep His Majesty waiting." An Gonggong urged.

With a thousand thoughts swirling and worries weighing on her, she called Ling Tian over to one side, whispering a few instructions before departing with Lord An.

After Ling Tian left, Xiao Yu Fu and her servant slowly walked out from the side.

"Anling, did you just hear clearly what Ling Shiwei and the Crown Prince said" It turned out that they were a little far away just now and hadn't heard clearly what Ling Tian had said to Qian Siyin.

"My Lady, I didn't quite hear..." An Ling lowered her head and answered cautiously.

"You!" Xiao Yu Fu raised her hand, then thought for a moment and put it down. She thought to herself, "Anything that could make Brother Si Chen so anxious must have something to do with Xiao Yu Ge."

"Go home." I thought of looking for Gege Si Chen, but since he's busy, forget it.

They had just returned to the Rong family estate when Fu Bo was already waiting at the door.

"My Lady, you are back."

"Uncle Fu, what happened" Seeing the letter in Uncle Fu's hand, her heart skipped a beat.

"Lady, someone just sent you three letters in a row. The messenger said there was something very urgent to tell you. Old slave thought since Lady had just left, he didn't know where to find you." Fu Bo said as he presented the letters.

"Alright, I understand, Fu Bo. Go about your business." Xiao Yu Fu smiled gently and gestured for An Ling to take the letter.

"Very well, this old slave will get to work."

After Fu Bo left, Xiao Yufu hurriedly asked An Ling to open the letter. Sure enough, as she expected, the three letters were brought by the three young masters from Beijing, asking her to go to Jinyu Building immediately.

"Damn it!" Xiao Yufu crumpled the letter in her fist. She had expected those three scoundrels to go back on their word, but she hadn't thought they would come after her again so quickly.

"My Lady, what should we do now"

Xiao Yufu gave her a glance, her beautiful eyes filled with hatred: "What can we do Let's go first and then talk!" After finishing, she turned and walked towards the Jinyu Building.

Golden Jade Building.

"Miss, we thought you weren't coming" Fan Deng saw Xiao Yufu and couldn't help but raise a smug expression on his face.

"Didn't we agree last time that we wouldn't meet again What are you doing now" Xiao Yufu glared at them through gritted teeth.

"My Lady, I'm so sorry. Lately, the three of us haven't been lucky at all. We lost a bit more than expected. You know our father is very strict. If he found out, he would surely beat us to death! So, there's no other way. We can only ask My Lady for some leniency for now. Once we make back our money, we will definitely repay you, how does that sound"

"What You want me to pay again" Xiao Yufu was both surprised and angry, seemingly realizing that these three were bottomless pits.

"My Lady, you misunderstand. We aren't here to ask for money, but rather to borrow some. Once we turn a profit, we will repay you in full. How does that sound"

"Do you think I'd still believe your words" Xiao Yufu wasn't stupid, she naturally saw through their intentions. Once the money got into their hands, there was no chance of it being returned.

Fan Deng chuckled sinisterly, his eyes like a cunning venomous snake: “Lady Jun, we initially wanted to be lenient, for everyone’s sake, and give you, the Lady of National Security, some face. Since you insist on tearing your mask off, then let's tear each other's apart. Thirty thousand taels, at this time tomorrow, at this very spot, our three brothers expect to see the money. Otherwise…”

"Thirty thousand taels Where am I supposed to get that much money" Xiao Yufu was completely shocked.

"That's the county lord's problem then. In any case, at this time tomorrow, we won't see the money. The county lord should know the consequences." Fan Deng wasn't going to waste words with her either. Anyway, they had a ready-made pawnshop now, and they couldn't just let it go to waste.

"But I really can't afford that much!" Xiao Yufu was now regretting her decision, wishing she had never gotten involved with this scoundrel.

Fan Deng and Feng, Zhao exchanged a glance before approaching Xiao Yu Fu. They looked her up and down, revealing a meaningful smile. Fan Deng reached out and lifted her chin with his finger: "If the county princess is truly penniless, then you could offer yourself as collateral."

"You're outrageous! I am the future princess consort! How dare you!" Xiao Yufu trembled with rage as she scolded them.

"You shall not harm the county princess!" An Ling also quickly stepped forward to protect her mistress.

"Well, this little girl isn't bad looking either. Why don't you two accompany our three brothers for some fun We can discuss the money later." Fan Deng and his two companions, confident they held leverage, weren't worried about Xiao Yufu calling for help.

"You shameless!"

“Shameless” Fan Deng let out a cold snort: “My Lady, the three young masters of our capital are notorious for being shameless. What are we afraid of It’s you, my lady. On the surface, you are gentle, kind, and generous. Who would have thought that behind your back, you are a vicious woman who wants to harm your own sister.” Anyway, they had her handle on them, so naturally they were fearless.

Xiao Yufu gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at the three of them: "Fine, tomorrow at this time, I will bring the money here."

"Alright, then. See you tomorrow." As Fan Deng left, he still couldn't resist touching her cheek: "Such a beautiful little beauty, it's really hard to say goodbye."de, a cruel smile playing at the corner of her mouth: "Xiao Yuge, I'm going to make you regret ever provoking me for the rest of your life!""Is that so Then I'll make you regret touching the people I...
