Chapter 218 Redemption
Seeing the old bustard, Liu Qingli didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "If I want to redeem Cheng Niang, how much money do I need?"

The old bustard's eyes were fixed, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze a bit, and he looked Liu Qingli up and down.

She is in a romantic place, and she sees the sons and brothers every day, if not a thousand, there are eight hundred. Seeing Liu Qingli saw through the identity of her daughter's family at the first glance, she was very puzzled.

There is actually a woman who is willing to redeem Cheng Niang's body.

The old bustard felt strange, thinking that the person in front of him might not be intentionally amusing, and immediately quoted a price that he thought the other party would definitely not be able to accept.

Liu Qingli's pupils shrank suddenly, and she was stunned.

Unexpectedly, it would cost so much money to redeem Cheng Niang, a total of 3000 taels, and her savings did not have that much at all.

Liu Qingli bit her lip in embarrassment.

The old bustard seemed to see her difficulty, and said with a light smile: "Every day, there are countless people who want to redeem Cheng Niang, but I don't just let them go after giving money. People go."

Liu Qingli was suddenly puzzled, and frowned and asked, "If you have the opportunity to leave, would you still be unwilling to leave?"

"Young master, why don't you ask Cheng Niang face to face."

Liu Qingli took a deep look at the old bustard, and finally went to Chengniang without saying anything.

Cheng Niang had just sent away a few young masters, she smelled of alcohol all over, and was lazily resting with her forehead propped up.

Seeing Liu Qingli coming in, her eyes flashed with astonishment, then she frowned slightly: "Why are you here, this is not where you should be."

Unexpectedly, she would be scolded as soon as they met, Liu Qingli was a little timid, and said, "I just want to see you..."

Cheng Niang saw that she was so nervous that her fingers were clenched tightly, and quickly explained: "Qingli, don't be nervous, I don't blame you, I am very happy that you can come to see me, but Hualou is full of fish and dragons, you often come and go here , will ruin your reputation."

Liu Qingli stared at her blankly, obviously she was in a difficult situation, but she could still think about herself.

Liu Qingli's heart was slightly sour, and she became more and more determined to make friends with Cheng Niang and redeem her life.

It's just that she still can't make up so much money now, so she thinks she can find a way to come to Chengniang again.

the other side.

As soon as Liu Qingli left the mansion, Lian Yi secretly sent someone to follow her. His subordinates watched her enter the flower building and immediately went back to report.

Lian Yi didn't dare to delay, and quickly revealed the news to Ye Guichen.

Lian Yi was a little puzzled: "My lord, the subordinates said that the wangfei asked the old bustard to redeem Chengniang's body. When did the two of them get along so well?"

To redeem Cheng Niang?
Ye Guichen also just found out about this matter, and naturally he knew no more than Lian Yi.

A look of worry flashed in Lian Yi's eyes, and he asked softly: "My lord, do you want my subordinates to remind Wangfei immediately? My subordinates are worried, Wangfei must not be deceived by Cheng Niang."

Liu Qingli was too simple.

In the past, everyone thought that she was around all kinds of men, but Lian Yi knew that she was a girl who would blush when talking to Ye Guichen.

Before meeting Ye Guichen, Liu Qingli was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper.

Ye Guichen didn't speak.

Lian Yi quickly added: "A woman like Cheng Niang who wanders around the place of fireworks has the most scheming mind. If she wants to use the princess to redeem her body, I'm afraid the princess is not her match."

Ye Guichen frowned, and a cold look flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, she might not listen to what you said, and she will learn the lesson when she stumbles."

A bit of astonishment appeared in Lian Yi's eyes.

During this period of observation, he clearly saw that the prince cared about Liu Qingli very much.

But why, now don't care about her business?
Lian Yi couldn't figure it out, and didn't dare to disobey the order, so he had to answer: "Yes."

Liu Qingli didn't return to the palace until it was almost dark.

She went in through the side door, not because she was too guilty to go through the main door, but because the side door happened to be in the direction Hualou came back from.

As a result, as soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard a cold and solemn male voice: "Where did you go?"

The sky was gloomy, and the courtyard was pitch-black. At first, Liu Qingli didn't notice a person standing behind the courtyard door. Hearing this, she trembled in fright, and stroked her chest: "Wang... my lord, why are you here?"

In the darkness, Ye Guichen slowly walked out.

He folded his arms around his chest, didn't speak, but stared at her solemnly, his staring eyes made Liu Qingli feel guilty.

Only then did Liu Qingli realize that he was the one who asked the question first, and then replied, "I went to Hualou and met Chengniang."

In the dark night, Ye Guichen's expression was a bit obscure.

Liu Qingli heard him laugh lowly, and said inexplicably, "Oh, you two have a good relationship."

These words sounded weird, Liu Qingli somehow had the illusion that she was going out to fool around with her husband behind her back...

But both she and Cheng Niang are women.

Ye Guichen wouldn't be jealous of a woman, would he?

Liu Qingli was taken aback by this terrifying thought...

Before he could react, Ye Guichen said again: "You will be Princess Zhenxi soon, don't go in and out of that kind of place at will, and don't associate with dubious people."

It turned out that Ye Guichen didn't care who she went to meet, but was afraid that she would affect the reputation of Zhenxi Palace...

Liu Qingli lowered her eyes and tried to explain: "I dress like this, no one will recognize me."

Ye Guichen glanced at her up and down, and suddenly smiled: "Are you blind for those people in Hualou? Are you a man if you wear men's clothes?"

In Liu Qingli's ears, the smile contained too much irony, and she frowned slightly.

In the end, Ye Guichen stretched out his hand and pinched her earlobe: "You smell like powder, and also, you forgot to take the earrings."

Liu Qingli reached out and touched her earlobe in a panic, only to realize that she really didn't take the earrings...

She actually stayed in Hualou for so long wearing this nondescript outfit.

No wonder the old bustard looked at her very strangely at the first glance. It turned out that it was not because she boasted that she wanted to redeem Cheng Niang, but because she recognized her as a woman disguised as a man...

Liu Qingli's cheeks were flushed, and she bit her lips in frustration, feeling ashamed.

After a long while, she bit the bullet and argued: "I'm not here to fool around, even if I'm recognized, it won't hurt. I just think Cheng Niang is very pitiful, and I just want to make friends with her."

"Poor?" Ye Guichen's face darkened, and his tone was slightly mocking, "How long have you known her?"

After only knowing someone for so long, she dares to say that they are pitiful, and she still wants to make friends with them. Is she just so wary?

I am not afraid that one day, sooner or later, I will be gnawed until there are no bones left.

Liu Qingli retorted: "If you want to make friends with someone, you don't care how long you've known each other. Cheng Niang is one of the few people who is sincere to me, and she even gave me advice..."

Having said that, she suddenly fell silent.

Ye Guichen couldn't let Ye Guichen know what Chengniang gave her.
