That night, Mrs. Zheliu came to Zhe Xinyi’s room.

Zhe Xinyi had no choice but to put down the book on military strategy in her hand, looked at her mother in confusion, and said, "Mom, I wonder what you want to see me for?"

Mrs. Zheliu pretended to be angry and said: "Can't Mom come over to talk to you?"

"Mother~~"

In this coquettish voice, Mrs. Zheliu smiled again and said, "Xinyi, you and Sanshui will also go to Lingzhou in a few days."

"Why?"

Zhe Xinyi expressed her confusion and said: "I will be busy with a lot of things in the next period of time."

Zheliu said indifferently: "It's just the miscellaneous matters of the Zhe family army. It doesn't matter if you ignore it for a month or two. Besides, your father can take care of it for you, so nothing will happen."

/p>

Zhe Xinyi said suspiciously: "Mom, why are you so insistent on asking me to go to Lingzhou with him?"

Zheliu smiled and said: "Then do you want to take your relationship with Sanshui further? You are alone along the way, so this is a rare and good opportunity."

Zhe Xinyi's heart beat uncontrollably, and she said angrily: "Mom, what are you talking about! I...I, why should I take the relationship further with him?"

Zheliu looked at her with a smile and said, "You may be able to deceive others, but you can't deceive me. In all these years, my mother has never seen you treat a man like this."

/p>

Zhe Xinyi quickly retorted: "Then...that's because he helped me a lot."

"Really? Then tell mother directly whether you like him or not? Don't be duplicitous."

Zheliu took up her hands and looked into her eyes with a smile.

"I...I, I don't like it!"

Zhe Xinyi tilted her head in shame.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zheliu didn't know what her daughter was really thinking. She pulled her hands slightly, held her daughter lovingly in her arms, and then leaned close to her ear and whispered something in her ear.<

/p>

However, you can see that the redness behind Zhe Xinyi's ears gradually spread to her face, and it becomes redder and redder, like a well-cooked crayfish.

......

"Yeah, it's very good. Miss Su, your writing is getting better and better. I'm afraid it won't be long before I can't guide you anymore."

Li Miao praised the beautiful woman in front of him.

Su Rou said modestly: "Mr. Li, you are flattering me. I am still far from you."

"Miss Su, you are too self-effacing."

Li Miao chuckled, and then revealed the second purpose of coming today.

"Miss Su, I am planning to go to Lingzhou, so I won't be able to come to your place again in the next period of time. I hope that when I come back, I can read your complete first novel, Miss Su."<

/p>

This novel by Su Rou is based on A Chinese Ghost Story, and a lot of things have been added to it. The two estimate that the novel will be completed in about 200,000 words.

According to Su Rou's usual hand speed, when he came back from Lingzhou, if nothing unexpected happened, he would have finished the book.

After coming out of Su Rou's place, Li Miao did not go back to Zhe Mansion immediately, but walked towards the familiar noodle stall.

He also needs to tell the mother and daughter about this.

However, when he came to the familiar small noodle stall, his expression suddenly changed.

At this time, the small noodle stall that should have many customers did not have a single customer. Instead, there were a few bad customers, looking fierce.

Qin Hong tightly protected her daughter He Cai'er behind her, and she said angrily to these nasty guests: "We have already paid the protection fee this month."

"Hand it in?"

The leader of the gangsters was obviously startled and looked at one of the younger brothers.

The young man stepped forward quickly and whispered a few words.

The gangster leader showed a clear look and said to Qin Hong: "From now on, this street is under the management of our Tiansha Gang. You paid the protection fee of the Black Tiger Gang before, but now you have to pay the protection fee of our Tiansha Gang.

Fee."

I don’t know why, but some time ago, the Black Tiger Gang suddenly shrank a lot of territory. As the archrival, the Tiansha Gang thought that the Black Tiger Gang had some big conspiracy, but later they slowly discovered that there was no conspiracy at all.

, then he smiled and accepted the territories abandoned by the Black Tiger Gang, and the street in front of him was one of them.

"How could such a thing happen!"

Qin Hong naturally didn't know the twists and turns, and looked in disbelief, but she also knew that she couldn't offend these people, otherwise her small noodle stall would not be able to open.

So, with the thought of losing money and settling the matter, I asked: "How much protection fee do I need to pay?"

The gangster leader said boldly: "Twenty taels of silver."

"What!"

Qin Hong exclaimed. In the past, the Black Tiger Gang only collected one tael of silver a month, but now the so-called Tiansha Gang charges twenty taels of silver, a full twenty times!

Her small noodle stall doesn't make 20 taels of silver profit in a month. If she pays 20 taels of protection fee every month, what else can the mother and daughter eat?

"Of course, it's okay not to pay the protection fee."

Just when Qin Hong thought things were turning around, she heard the gangster leader change the subject again: "You only need to accompany me once a month, just think of it as monthly protection money."

He glanced at Qin Hong greedily, and finally revealed his true purpose. The so-called twenty taels of silver per month was just a coercion.

Qin Hong's face turned red with anger at his shameless words: "Don't even think about it!"

The gangster leader didn't feel angry at all because of Qin Hong's words. He looked as if he had convinced her.

I saw him winking at a gangster.

The gangster understood instantly. He walked to a table, bent down slightly, and reached under the table. Just as he was about to lift it up, a white hand suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed his wrist.

, couldn’t help but be a little stunned.

Looking along the white hands, there is a pretty face dressed as a scholar.

The visitor was naturally Li Miao, who had just arrived.

Seeing Li Miao, Qin Hong was happy at first, but then immediately became worried.

"What are you still doing?"

The gangster yelled at the dazed gangster.

The gangster reacted and ordered Li Miao: "Let go!"

Li Miao was very obedient and let go.

So obedient?

The gangster was stunned again and couldn't help but sneer, he is such a weakling.
Chapter completed!
