This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 96 Redemption, Misunderstanding Him

The sun gradually sets.

In the shop.

Luo Zijun stood in front of the counter for a long time before putting away the letter, walking behind the counter, and slowly opening the drawers.

The medicinal herbs that were originally in the drawer are gone.

Instead, there were all the medicinal materials he needed for his medicinal bath, and each drawer was filled to the brim.

He stood there for a while, then walked out of the counter and went upstairs.

The three rooms upstairs were all empty.

There wasn't even a bed or a cabinet in my senior sister's room, and there wasn't even a speck of dust inside.

However, on the windowsill, there was a small cloth bag.

Luo Zijun walked over and opened the cloth bag, which was filled with silver and some copper coins.

The total amount is five hundred and fifty taels, nine coins and forty coins.

He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his eyes looked through the window at the backyard downstairs, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

He immediately put away the silver and went downstairs.

When he arrived at the backyard, he froze in place.

The beautiful flowers, plants and trees in the backyard have all been dug up or sawed off.

Instead, there are plum blossom stakes, wooden men, millstones, stones, thick wooden stakes wrapped with iron ropes, and other tools for practicing martial arts.

Even the ground was covered with a thick layer of gravel.

He stood there in a daze, the expression on his face constantly changing.

There was no way these things could appear in one night, which meant that before he came here last night, his senior sister and master had already been silently helping him transform this place.

Just because he wanted to practice martial arts.

Suddenly, he looked at the bathtub outside the woodshed.

That wasn't his bathtub.

If it's not his, then it naturally belongs to his senior sister.

He walked over immediately.

When I got closer, I suddenly discovered that the bathtub was full of medicine bags.

Poison one, poison two, poison three...

The medicine bags were stacked so densely that they almost took up the entire space of the bathtub.

His head suddenly started buzzing.

How long would it take to refine so many medicines? One day, two days, or even more days...

A picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

It was late at night and a cold wind was blowing outside. Inside the house, under the dim light, a young girl in a plain white dress was sitting quietly at the table, pounding medicine silently.

In the medicine furnace next to it, mist was curling up and the fragrance of medicine was overflowing...

"Master is right..."

He stood there blankly, slowly closed his eyes, looked at the scenes and the cold and beautiful face that appeared in his mind, and couldn't help muttering: "I am indeed a..."

At this time, the sun was setting.

Tianxian Tower.

This is the busiest and most lively time here.

And today, there are especially many guests.

Mother Liu stood at the door, her face a little painful from smiling, but her heart was filled with joy.

At this time, a little maid came over and whispered to her, "Mom, my sister wants to see you for the first time."

at the same time.

On the third floor, in a room at the end of the corridor.

Liu Chujian and Bier had already packed their things.

Bi'er picked up the package and urged excitedly, "Miss, we should go. The master and the mistress may have already gone back."

Today's amnesty naturally includes the Liu family.

The official position is gone for the time being, but the people should have been released.

The relatives who once avoided them actually came to them and lent them money to redeem themselves.

Liu Chujian seemed not to hear the maid's urging.

She stood blankly in front of the window, gently stroking the light green jade bracelet in her hand, with a dazed look on her face.

The sky is filled with sunset glow.

The golden sunset fell on her delicate face, giving her a layer of moving glow, as beautiful as a painting.

"Miss, don't wait any longer. That person hasn't come for several days. Humph, even if he came, he might be looking for Miss Shuishui and Miss Ziwei..."

Bier looked at her lonely expression, her heart filled with pain and grievance.

"In the past few days, the poems that man wrote for Miss Shuishui and Miss Ziwei have spread throughout the outer city. At the brothel literary gathering, Miss Ziwei won first place with his poems... Now, all the guests who come to Tianxian Tower are looking for Miss Ziwei and Miss Shuishui..."

"Also, the girls and maids in the building have been saying bad things about you behind your back these past few days, saying that the man doesn't like you anymore, that he's tired of you, and that's why he went to help Miss Shuishui and Miss Ziwei write poems..."

At this point, the maid's eyes were suddenly filled with tears of grievance. "What did they do for him? Didn't they just flirt and seduce him with their bodies? And you, young lady... oooo..."

The little maidservant couldn't continue speaking and started crying with sadness and grievance.

She felt sorry for her young lady.

All the efforts were for him, but what was the result?

Liu Chujian stood silently in front of the window, looking out.

The street was bustling with people, but there was no sign of that figure.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Liu Chujian's eyes lit up, and he immediately went to open the door, but his mother Liu's voice came from outside the door: "Chujian, are you looking for me?"

The light in her eyes suddenly dimmed again.

Bier quickly wiped away her tears and went over to open the door.

Mother Liu came in wearing a bright red dress, twisting her waist, smiling brightly, and said, "First time meeting you, what's up?"

Liu Chujian was silent for a moment. Before she could speak, Bi'er beside her said, "Mother Liu, we want to redeem ourselves."

Mother Liu was stunned when she heard this.

Bi'er quickly added: "We have already prepared the silver. Today is a general amnesty. My master and mistress are both fine, so we have to go back quickly."

What she meant by saying this was that my master is fine now and it is useless for you to force us to stay.

Also, there was a hint of threat, as if he was afraid that she wouldn't let him go.

Mother Liu smiled, but didn't say much. She said in a friendly manner, "First meeting. Wait for me."

After saying that, he immediately turned and left.

Bi'er suddenly felt a little uneasy: "Miss, will she not let us leave?"

Then he snorted again: "It shouldn't be the case. Miss Ziwei and Miss Shuishui can both make money for her now, and they often go out to perform. We are of no use to them."

Liu Chujian didn't say anything, but looked at a bag of silver and a stack of banknotes on the table.

The silver note is used to redeem oneself.

The silver was left for him.

Bi'er couldn't help but say, "Miss, he's not coming, why should we leave the silver to him? Can't we use it to pay off debts and redeem other people? The master and the mistress also need money to come out."

Liu Chujian remained silent and did not speak.

At this time, Mother Liu came in hurriedly holding a brocade box.

Then he placed the brocade box on the table, opened it, took out a neatly folded piece of paper, and said with a smile: "Chu Jian, this is the contract you signed at the beginning. Please take a close look at it and take it back."

Then she took her little hand and said reluctantly: "Although mommy is reluctant to let you go, mommy also knows that you are the daughter of an official family and it is indeed not suitable for you to stay here. Now that my king has issued a general amnesty, and since your family members have been released, you will naturally go back to fulfill your filial duties, and mommy has no reason to stop you."

After hearing these words, both the master and the servant were deeply moved.

Bi'er quickly went over to get the banknote, handed it to her, and said gratefully, "Mom, this is the money for our redemption. Thank you for taking care of us during this period of time."

"The money for redemption?"

Mother Liu was slightly startled, and then she glanced at the thick banknotes in her hand, and immediately smiled and said, "No need, you can keep them for yourselves. These are the money you borrowed, right? Return them quickly, and mother won't ask you for a penny."

After these words were spoken, both the master and the servant were stunned, their faces filled with surprise.

Liu Chujian said: "Mom, you..."

Mother Liu hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "Chu Jian, I originally promised that person not to tell you, but I can't keep this from you forever, you will eventually find out."

Liu Chujian's heart trembled inexplicably.

Mother Liu stroked her smooth little hand and said with emotion: "Mr. Luo is such a good man. I thought he had other ideas about you, but I didn't expect that he would not even tell you about redeeming you."

When these words came out, Liu Chujian's heart was suddenly shocked.

Bi'er, who was standing by, opened her mouth wide.

Mother Liu continued, "A few days ago, Master Luo came to see you and said he wanted to redeem you, but he probably couldn't come up with that much money, so he said he would redeem you with poetry, and then he went over and wrote a few poems for Ziwei and Shuishui. Unexpectedly..."

At this point, she suddenly showed an irrepressible smile on her face: "I didn't expect that those poems were so powerful. Not only did they help Ziwei win the first place in the literary competition, but they also made Ziwei and Shuishui's names spread all over the outer city. Haha... This is our first meeting. Master Luo is the star of literature and a nobleman of our Tianxian Building. From now on, when he comes here, no matter who he orders, it's all free! As long as he comes, mom will give him a red envelope."

After saying that, she couldn't help grinning again.

The popularity of Tianxianlou these days has made her earn a lot of money. How can she not be happy?

"Alright, alright, mom still has to go down to greet the guests. Take the contract and the banknotes. If you want to leave, you can leave now. If you don't want to leave now, you can leave at any time. You are always welcome here."

After saying that, she twisted her waist and left happily.

The room suddenly fell into silence.

There was a long silence.

Bi'er Fang said blankly: "So... So he went to Miss Ziwei and Miss Shuishui's room to..."

"So... he wrote poems for them to help us... redeem ourselves..."

"Miss……"

The little maid wiped her tears and choked up, "I am just a fool, a bad guy. These past few days, I have been saying bad things about him every day. When he came that day, I treated him in that way..."

Liu Chujian froze at the table for a long time before muttering in a low voice, "I... I misunderstood him too..."
