I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 707: Ying Yu was knocked unconscious by the silver.

The two hit it off and acted separately.

Li Ling'er hardly left the hospital these days, so Lu Jianjia had to go find her.

Ying Yu went to Liu Mingyan's courtyard first.

Originally, this kind of thing should be dealt with by Yin Huanping, but there always seemed to be something between the two of them, and Ying Yu was not very willing to face her.

Liu Mingyan always has a charming and gentle smile on her face, and she looks very approachable.

Of course Ying Yu would rather find her.

"Xiaoyu...sister?"

Lonely courtyard.

Upon hearing that Ying Yu was coming, Liu Mingyan went out to greet him in person.

In the past, few people came to her place. When she heard that Ying Yu came to see her, she couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.

Now her relationship with Li Mu is very delicate.

From the very beginning, she took the initiative to contact Li Mu just to avoid the engagement.

Li Mu was also well aware of this matter.

So even though Li Mu said in person that he accepted her, the relationship was still lukewarm.

Maybe she approached Li Mu with a purpose at the beginning, and even intended to take advantage of Li Mu with her appearance.

But after the battle of Donglai Pass, she had already realized that she was really attracted to this man.

Yesterday’s cause led to today’s consequences, and the estrangement could not be eliminated. Liu Mingyan knew that this was all her own fault.

So she was willing to live in the courtyard farthest from Li Mu and be his little koi that could spit out gold coins.

Ying Yu is different from other women in the mansion. She grew up in Prince Yan's mansion since childhood.

Not to mention Zhang Hanrui, she had already gotten used to Xu Youzhi's increasingly enviable face.

Therefore, he was not as surprised by Liu Mingyan's stunning appearance as he was by other women.

She licked her lips and bowed slightly to Liu Mingyan, then explained her purpose.

Yuanbao, who was standing by, had a strange look on his face. Only then did he truly understand what the "Three Evils of the Capital" meant.

It is not uncommon for wealthy ladies to go to brothels to listen to music.

But this is the first time I've heard of someone wanting to redeem the courtesan.

What's more, if she were brought back home, her status would definitely be higher than those maids.

After all, there is only one Xiao Zhao.

Liu Mingyan also felt a little uncomfortable. After pondering for a while, she forced a smile and quickly asked Yuanbao to get a black gold token.

The token is only the size of a palm, with the word "Guizhou" engraved on the front. It can be used to overdraw one million taels of silver at Qianduo Silver House, the largest silver shop in Kyushu.

The boss behind Qianduo Silver House is actually Yuanbao's father, but the real master is the Liu family.

Ying Yu held the token and his brain froze for a moment.

When the Duke's Mansion was in its heyday, she was still young and naturally had no idea about money.

Later, I ate a lot of Gu, and one hundred yuan was basically the largest sum of money I had ever seen in my life.

Even at Prince Yan's Mansion, people were frugal and life was still difficult.

In her original plan, an ordinary maid would only get two to four taels, and for a maid with some martial arts skills, the maximum amount would not exceed twenty taels.

Being an oiran sounds glamorous, but to be honest she is nothing more than a slave.

Fifty taels is a lot.

So her plan was to withdraw one hundred taels from Liu Mingyan first, and then take the two weird little girls, Lu Jianjia and Li Ling'er, out to play.

Who would have thought that Yuanbao would tell her that this little black sign could be exchanged for one million taels?

You know, in the past two years, the monthly expenditure of the Prince of Yan's Mansion would not exceed 200 taels...

For a moment, Ying Yu felt that the small sign in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Heavier than her pair of golden hammers.

Although Liu Mingyan was good at observing people's expressions, she still couldn't understand Ying Yu's expression. After thinking for a while, she asked tentatively,

"Sister Xiaoyu, is it... not enough?"

"Yuanbao, go get some writing brush and ink. I'll write a letter. Sister Xiaoyu, please go to the silver shop in South City to get the silver you need."

Yuan Bao bit his lip and said "Oh" reluctantly. Just as he was about to turn around, he was stopped by Ying Yu's exclamation.

"Enough, enough!"

Ying Yu didn't know how he left the courtyard, and he felt a little dizzy.

She remembered that the annual tax revenue for the entire northern region was only eight million taels.

Because they extorted 20,000 taels of gold from the Lin family, which was equivalent to 200,000 taels of silver, the Prince of Yan's Mansion seemed to be celebrating the New Year.

Now, just by coming to pay her respects, she becomes a rich woman without having to work hard?

Thinking about how he had worked so hard over the years and saved money to hide the huge sum of thirty-five taels of silver under his bed, he couldn't help but drool in sadness.

There is a kind of unreal feeling that after suffering for a lifetime, I suddenly find out that my family is secretly wealthy.

She carefully put away the token and quickly went to the Gemini Cottage.

"Qiu... Woo------"

In front of the fence, Ying Yu was about to speak when a small tender hand covered her mouth. Then Qiu Ju's anxious voice came to her ears.

"Sister Xiaoyu, keep your voice down."

Ying Yu was most familiar with the four sisters, as they had been bullied together, so he recognized the owner of this Rouyi at the first opportunity.

He gently patted Qiuju's little hand and asked in confusion,

"What are you doing sneaking around?"

Qiuju gave a strange smile, then put her arms around Ying Yu's waist and took her over a pear tree in the yard.

Ying Yu blinked in confusion, and saw Qiu Ju's finger pointing towards the house.

"Son~"

"Why don't you let me see you, Master?"

"Sir, Qiaoqiao misses you. When will you come to see Qiaoqiao?"

By the window, Liu Qiaoqiao had a resentful look on her face. She was holding the bouquet in her arms, picking the petals and talking to herself.

Ying Yu gave Qiu Ju a questioning look, and then heard Qiu Ju whisper in her ear,

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaoyu, I'll show you something interesting."

As she spoke, Qiu Ju looked at the sky, probably to determine the time, and then she spoke,

"It will take at most one stick of incense, don't worry, Sister Xiaoyu."

Ying Yu was a little confused, but seeing Qiu Ju's excited expression, he didn't say anything.

She and Lu Jianjia had agreed to meet outside the mansion in half an hour, so she was not in a hurry.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Liu Qiaoqiao in the room was sometimes resentful and sometimes irritable, just when Ying Yu was getting a little impatient.

Liu Qiaoqiao, who was lying on the windowsill crying, suddenly froze.

The sorrow in his eyes disappeared instantly as if his expression changed, and was followed by a cold expression that kept strangers away.

She first carefully looked out the window, wiped the tears from her face, and closed the window as if nothing had happened. From the sounds of her, she seemed to be going to rest.

"Is she pretending?"

Ying Yuxiao frowned and her expression became alert.

Unexpectedly, Qiuju shook her head mysteriously and motioned for the two to leave first.

In the corridor, Ying Yu looked at Qiu Ju, waiting for her explanation.

Qiu Ju glanced around and saw that there was no one around, so she spoke.

"I'm not pretending, this is real."

"Really? What do you mean?"

Qiu Ju smiled strangely and explained,

"It was hypnosis. She hypnotized herself into liking the young master."

???

Ying Yu felt that her little brain was not enough. She could understand every word Qiu Ju said, but when they were put together, she had no idea what they meant.

Qiuju didn't explain much, in fact she didn't understand at first.

It was just that she happened to be there when Ge Peining was about to get rid of Liu Qiaoqiao.

Hearing that such a magical thing actually happened, she stopped Ge Peining and expressed her thoughts.

Originally, Ge Peining disagreed. She believed that it would be appropriate to deal with such people with unknown origins directly.

Fortunately, Meng Siyu was also interested in this self-hypnosis ability, so she agreed to Qiuju that she would take care of this person temporarily.

However, if they knew Qiu Ju’s real purpose of wanting to acquire this hypnotic ability, I wonder what they would think.
