Sun Huai and others were dumbfounded when they heard this.

Fu Jiuqu laughed softly.

He has seen a lot of stalking women, but not many have such novel tricks. Moreover, he has a lot of strength.

"Do you think I am so easy to seduce? Huh?"

His voice was very low, just falling into Xin Yi's ears.

Xin Yi raised his head in surprise, and his eyes met his. He looked at the dark light under those beautiful eyelashes, and couldn't laugh or cry.

She just started to attack like a woman and used great force, just because she was afraid that Fu Jiuqu would misunderstand that she wanted to seduce him. But it was self-defeating. With Mrs. Zhang seducing him first, no matter what she did, she could not change the impression in Fu Jiuqu's mind.

…

On the contrary, Fu Jiuqu felt that she was deliberately trying to seduce him.

That's all. Xin Yi didn't bother to explain. He squeezed Fu Jiuqu's strong wrist and smiled with crooked eyes.

"There is a reason for me to say that. Think about it, the prince, I am not a beautiful woman who can conquer the whole country, so I don't need you to put so much thought into it... Since you are here to help me, you will naturally not kill me. Unless you are right."

I have an agenda!"

Fu Jiuqu half-squinted his eyes and sneered coldly.

"Rake it up. You shameless thing. Who said I was here to help you?"

Xin Yi frowned and looked at him, with an impatient tone, "Okay. Don't force me to pay for it myself. It's ugly on the street."

As she spoke, she nodded and smiled friendly at the crowd gathered around her.

Smile and nod again.

"Folks, don't be stunned. Do the calculations. How much money will it take to compensate?"

Cooking cakes, miscellaneous food, and candied haws are not considered valuable livelihoods. As soon as the small business vendors saw Fu Jiuqu's appearance, they had long given up thinking of asking her to pay for it, and wanted to consider themselves unlucky, but they didn't know that this little lady

Kindhearted?

Several people looked at each other and hesitated.

"Five, five taels is probably enough."

"No!" Xin Yi looked seriously at the mess on the ground, "How can you only pay five taels for so many things? At least thirty taels."

"But……"

But none of their stalls are worth so much money.

"Don't bargain. Are you looking down on my uncle?"

Xin Yi had a smile on her face, and her skin looked white and translucent under the dim light. Even those little eyesores looked like rouge, making her look much prettier.

After saying that, she pinched Fu Jiuqu quietly again.

"Hurry up. If you borrow something, pay it back. You won't default on your debt."

Fu Jiuqu chuckled with unknown meaning, took the initiative to let go, and called out.

"Sun Huai."

Sun Huai walked over in a low voice. He was born with the appearance of a smiling Buddha. He took out his money bag and handed the thirty taels of silver to Xin Yi respectfully.

Thirty taels of silver is not a small amount. Several vendors were so grateful that they wished they could kneel down in front of them. Those who were just lucky that their stalls were not hit by donkey carts wished they could push their stalls over and let the donkey hit them again...

"Thank you, Prince, for your kindness." Xin Yi exclaimed, breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Fu Jiuqu a friendly smile.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be polite."

Fu Jiuqu said it calmly, and Xin Yi suddenly felt something was wrong.

This guy is not a good person. He is smiling like this, maybe he is harboring some bad ideas in his heart? Asking Fu Jiuqu to borrow money was just a temporary measure for Xin Yi. She was sincerely grateful for the money, but she didn't want to get burned.

"I will pay you back the money, but it will take a little longer."

"How much?" Fu Jiuqu said calmly.

"How much for what?"

"How much more?"

"How much? Of course it's thirty taels."

"No. The interest rate is three points, the return period is half a year, and the delay is doubled." Fu Jiuqu took the white silk handed by Sun Huai very naturally, and slowly wiped the syrup stained red by Xin Yi on his arm, his voice was soft and slow.

.

"There are also these clothes. You pay for it."

Xin Yi did not answer, and was silent for a moment before asking: "How much are these clothes worth?"

Fu Jiuqu said: "Five hundred taels..."

Xin Yi just took a breath and heard him add: "Gold."

"Why don't you go and rob the bank?" Xin Yi sneered, "Face is something external to the body. I don't think the prince wants it. It's only thirty taels, but you are a big loan shark?"

"We're seeing you." Fu Jiuqu interrupted her coldly, with a barely visible smile on his lips. Then he casually took the reins from Sun Huai's hand and climbed onto the horse.

"Sister-in-law has prepared the money. I will send someone to get it."

After that, he left directly.

"..."

Charging interest is a common method of private lending nowadays. It is said that the interest rate is three cents, but in calculation it is 100% usury. As for "double the interest rate", it is called taking one for two, and the interest is as fierce as a tiger.

Xin Yi didn't want to calculate how much money she needed to repay Fu Jiuqu, because no matter how she calculated, she couldn't afford it.

"As for that?"

Xin Yi patted his clothes, looked at the retreating figure, suddenly turned around with a smile, and pointed at the candied haws and omnivorous snacks.

"Calculate for me how much this costs in total. I will pay double the amount."

Everyone: "..."

Didn’t you say thirty taels should be enough?

Didn’t you say that if you compensate less, you are looking down on your brother-in-law?

"I'm sorry, my brother-in-law is not short of money, but I am." Xin Yi nodded to everyone with a smile, pulled the stubborn donkey over a little, and said politely:

"Pack all the food for me, this one, and that one. The three children at home have their mouths open to feed them. They are exposed to outsiders. They are exposed to outsiders..."

"..."

Everyone sighed again.

No one recognized her as Mrs. Zhang from the Bianjingdi newspaper, but most of the people present were ordinary people. When they heard about her three children, they immediately changed sides, thinking that the three vendors could get double compensation.

I took advantage and didn't say anything more.

"Thank you, thank you folks."

…

This trip, Xinyi can be said to have returned with a full load.

In addition to the medicinal materials from Sun's pharmacy, she also received an additional fifteen taels of silver. Although she borrowed it, since Fu Jiuqu didn't follow martial ethics, she didn't have to worry about the debt being too big, so she just owed it first.

The way back seems to be much closer than when we came here, but the thunderstorm is coming just as it comes.

Within a short time, the rain and fog began to weigh down, like a giant man-eating beast, covering the sky and the earth in an oppressive darkness.

The road in the small farm beside the Bian River is slippery and muddy.

Xin Yi drove the donkey cart carefully, for fear of being hit again.

"Meow!" Suddenly, a shadow jumped up to the front of the car from the sloping path. Xin Yi's eyes were dazzled, and he quickly reined in the car and almost hit it.

The cat was frightened and quickly got into the donkey cart and hid in the pile of medicinal materials.

Xin Yi looked back, only to find that in the dim light and shadow, a farmer wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat ran from behind the donkey cart, stepped on the field stalks and submerged into the crop field, held on to the bamboo hat and ran away quickly...

"Hello!"

Xin Yi climbed onto the donkey cart to look for the cat and called him loudly.

"Are you looking for your cat? Here—"

No one answered, and the farmer's figure disappeared into the rain and fog.

Inexplicable! Xin Yi shook off the rainwater in the shed where the donkey cart was propped up, and opened the packages of medicinal materials one by one, calling "meow" in his mouth, but he couldn't find a cat anywhere.

With such a big donkey cart, the cat has nowhere to hide.

Little thing, when did you slip away?

Xin Yi was stunned and looked at the rainy and foggy sky.

The cold wind howled by, the raindrops pattered on the roof, and an unreasonable chill crept up her back.

Xin Yi thought of Mrs. Zhang's "drowning into the river"...
