“They want our salt beds?” Zu An frowned Objectively speaking, it was co as collateral The Chu clan’s most valuable assets were their salt beds
However, the Wei clan had proposed this requirement when the Chu clan was in such dire straits, with the backing of the imperial palace as well It was difficult for anyone not to draw the obvious connection!
Perhaps the Wei clan had realized this problem themselves, which hy they proposed such a low interest rate The Chu clan wouldn’t have even given their proposal any consideration otherwise
“What does Madam plan to do?” Zu An asked
Qin Wanru shook her head “I haven’t thought it through yet Let’s discuss this with everyone else e head back”
She rubbed her aching forehead It was obvious that she had been working constantly since her husband’s detainotten any proper rest
Zu An tactfully decided not to disturb her any further and withdrew froe He quickly shi+fted his attention to the case he had acquired fro the way, but he couldn’t find a way to undo the seal
After escorting Qin Wanru back to the Chu Estate, Zu An was just about to head out tointo Old Mi first
Zu An gave a start when he saw the old gardener “Greetings, Elder”
Old Mi frowned He pulled him to the side “Don’t callattention”
“I’ll keep that in mind,” Zu An replied
“I heard that you went to the Wei clan with the Madaaze seeh him
Fortunately, Zu An was already prepared for this, and wasn’t at all flustered “Yeah, the Madam went to the Wei clan to borrow money We just came back from their estate”
“Did you bump into that man you met last time?” Old Mi asked nervously
“No The Madas to discuss I just waited for them to finish” Zu An was really curious as to why Old Mi was so scared of that old expert
“That’s good” Old Mi sighed in relief “Did you find that case that I wanted you to look for?”
Zu An shook his head “I didn’t Didn’t you tell me to not look for it anymore?”
Old Mi frowned
Zu An felt a sinister chill sweep through his entire body Old Mi was definitely using his consciousness to probe his belongings right then
Fortunately, he’d stored the case within the Brilliant Glass Bead He would’ve been exposed otherwise—the seal on the case would definitely have reacted to his consciousness
After a brief moment, Old Mi nodded “Indeed, indeed It seee, heh heh”
He tottered away No ardener
Zu An roamed around the estate as if he had business with some other people Only after he was convinced that he had slipped free of Old Mi’s suspicions did he sneak out of the Chu Estate
He purposelythe way After he was sure no one was following hiazebo near the acadeh when he saw that fa Liuyu He hadn’t expected that he would bewith another wo?” A sweet and pleasant voice drifted over Pei Mian towards hilad that you’re fine I orried that you wouldn’t be able to get away frouy”
Pei Mian that fire If you hadn’t, I ht by hiht of thatfear within her
“I did that on a whiet aas all because of your own skill” Zu An laughed
A sudden notification popped up
You have successfully trolled Wei Dan for 358 Rage points!
Wei Dan? This was probably the name of that e points probably came from his discovery that his courtyard had been set on fire Thanks to the efforts of the Wei clan servants, the dae had been minimal, as the fire had been put out quickly
He probably hadn’t yet realized that the cases had been swapped, either If he had, his anger would have beenfor?” Pei Mianman asked anxiously
Zu An took out a case “I only found this thing”
He was curious as to as inside the case, but he couldn’t find a way to open it However, with her experience, he expected that Pei Mianht even have a way to open it
