The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 87 Brother Liu Yue
  Liu Yue sat anxiously in Zhang Jin's room.

"Jin'er, what exactly do you think she will do?"

"She couldn't have poisoned our tea!" Liu Yue stood up in shock, "Stop drinking it!"

She reached out and knocked the tea out of Zhang Jin's hand, almost scalding him.

"If you are so afraid of her, why are you going against her!"

Zhang Jin was a little annoyed. She originally didn't want to enmity with Wen Jiu, but now, they are actually at odds with each other.

"I just can't see her so happy." Liu Yue's face was filled with regret. She just wanted to take revenge on her in a small way.

"Then can she make you happy? Liu Yue, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp! She is even the one who must retaliate! Have you ever taken advantage of her?"

"Then what should we do? Why don't we meet her? Let's leave."

"Liu Yue, please wake up. She won't do anything to you in this academy."

Zhang Jin had long noticed that there were always people coming in and out of Wen Jiu's room in the past two days, which was very lively.

"You should be worried about your two brothers at this time, but you must not let anything get into Wen Jiu's hands."

"What? Two brothers? It's not me she wants to deal with?"

"Hmph." Zhang Jin sneered, not knowing what to say to Liu Yue, "Didn't you hear her saying that she would make your life worse than death? If even Uncle Yongning's Mansion is gone, what else do you have!"

"How could she be so cruel?" Liu Yue's face suddenly turned pale. She never expected that the person Wen Jiu was about to overthrow was her own supporter!
  "I guess it's close."

"No, she doesn't have this ability! She just scared me, Jin'er, you are overthinking, she must not have this ability!"

"I don't know if she has it, but her fiancé must have it. Last time I happened to see a Jinyiwei token in her hand. Guess who gave it to her?"

There was a thunder in Liu Yue's mind, and the handkerchief in his hand fell down.

Zhang Jin sighed slightly, and before he could speak, he heard Liu Yue's painful voice.

"I'm afraid Jin'er, I'm so scared, I'm so scared."

"Hurry up and remind them. Please be restrained during this period. There is nothing that Jin Yiwei cannot find."

"Okay. I'm going back home immediately. I want to remind my brother." Liu Yue picked up her skirt and ran out in a hurry.

Zhang Jin walked to the door calmly, as if sending Liu Yue out.

Wen Jiu happened to be standing at the door of the room, staring thoughtfully at somewhere in the courtyard.

The two people's eyes happened to bump into each other, but they looked away very naturally.

When Liu Yue arrived home, Liu Quan, who had always loved gambling, and his wife and daughter were kneeling in the main hall and crying bitterly.

Not even half a man.

"Dad! I don't dare anymore. Please help me one last time! Dad -"

Liu Yue couldn't help but slow down, wouldn't he be back soon?

Second brother, what's going on?
  "You can't teach a child! You just refuse to repent! Time and time again! Even if there is a gold mountain in the family, you will gamble away it all!"

Father Liu was so angry that he kicked his unlucky son down.

"Last time, in order to pay off your gambling debt, all the dowry your mother left for Yue'er was sold to you! Now it's good, look at what else is worth moving in this house! Move them all!"

"Brother! Are you gambling again? Didn't you say you would never gamble again!"

Liu Yue finally understood that her second brother went gambling again and lost a total of eight thousand taels.

Eight thousand taels of silver!
  "Yue'er, brother knows that he is wrong. You pity him. I beg you, please think of a way!"

"Don't the Lin family want to marry Yue'er? If you marry her, he will definitely give you a lot of gifts. Please marry her, Yue'er -" Liu Quan quickly got up and knelt down in front of Liu Yue.

"What did you say?" Liu Yue's eyes widened in disbelief, "You want me to be someone's second string?"

Father Liu kicked her again, "You're so confused! You've really abused your sister again and again!"

The fragrance of tea overflows and the incense burner curls up.

Wen Jiu held the teacup leisurely and rubbed it for a while.

"Girl, Second Young Master Liu owes the gambling house 8,000 taels of silver. The Liu family is in dire straits right now and seems to be borrowing usury money."

Zi Su closed the door, walked to Wen Jiu and said.

"Eight thousand taels?" Wen Jiu's hands shook unconsciously. She bought so many deeds of sale in Huajian Pavilion for only ten thousand taels of silver.

"I just followed the girl's instructions and asked the gambler next to me to give him some more chicken blood. I didn't expect him to be so easy to coax."

"How smart can Liu Yue's brother be? If he gets involved in gambling, this family will be ruined for the rest of his life. I feel sorry for his wife and children, who were dragged down for no reason. Without Liu Quan, life would have been much easier."

"What about Liu Zhou? Are you watching?"

"It is only said that Second Young Master Liu likes to eat, drink, whore and gamble, but an informant came to report that Young Master Liu also occasionally goes in and out of brothels, but he is not as public as Second Young Master Liu, and he only looks for that one girl. It's just..."

Zi Su stopped talking.

"Just what?"

"I've been going there more frequently lately, and it seems like I always bring medicine with me."

Wen Jiu frowned slightly and said, "Keep staring."

Bring the medicine? But I didn't hear that Young Master Liu knew medical skills and even went to a brothel to treat people.

As the saying goes, abnormality will lead to evil.

It was night, Wen Jiu was lying on the bed and fell asleep, and Zisu was also in the room.

Ever since what happened to Li Shiyi in the academy, Wen's mother was somewhat worried, so she still asked Zisu to accompany her.

Wen Jiu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

Ghost hunting order.
  Even through the clothes, she could see the apricot-yellow light emitting from the jade pendant hanging not far away.

It flickered on and off, as if to attract her attention.

Wen Jiu lay down on his own and turned his body inside.

No one goes out to catch ghosts in the middle of the night. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Let's talk about it tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Wen Jiu hung the ghost hunting order on his body expressionlessly, covered it with a thick cloak, and walked towards Wenmo Studio with Zi Su.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Liu Yue sitting in front of the desk with red eyes, as if he had been crying all night long.

Zhang Jin was unusual today. He sat motionless in his seat and had no intention of coming forward to comfort him.

Maybe his threat worked?
  Do you know how to put on a show in front of yourself?
  After finally making it to the end of the class, Wen Jiu let out a big yawn. It would be impossible to say that the ghost hunting order last night had no impact on him at all.

As long as it is shining, there will always be a needle hanging there in my mind.

Wen Jiu left the academy on the pretext of going out to buy some pen and ink. He saw Liu Yue hurriedly driving home in a carriage after taking a few steps.

Didn't you say you were going to borrow usury? Liu Yue's sad look made it feel like he had sold her.
