The group's favorite master, the story of a cute baby who travels through the book and defies t

"My fair lady, a gentleman likes to be brave."

Hearing Liu Xing reciting the famous quote with such brazenness, Cao Jun mocked him without hesitation: "Do you think you are worthy of being called a gentleman? Why don't you look in the mirror and see how you look like a gentleman?"

Liu Xing paused in shaking the folding fan, turned the fan over, and saw four big words written on the other side of the fan, which he thought was white: The villain is jealous.

Cao Jun was stunned for a moment before he realized that the other party was obviously calling him a villain. He was so angry that he almost couldn't help but rush up to beat the man, but was once again stopped in time by Zheng Huaian.

Liu Xing snorted disdainfully and looked at Qi Gui and the girl behind him again.

"Master Qi, you are about to get married, but you still want to play the hero saving the damsel in distress? Isn't that inappropriate?"

"Master Liu, you are joking. If you are not a gangster or a bully, how can you be called a hero saving a beautiful girl? Or do you mean that Master Liu admits that he is the gangster or a bully?"

The sharp-nosed and monkey-faced servant behind Liu Xing said fiercely: "How dare you say that my young master is a gangster and a bully? Do you want to die?"

Liu Xing turned around and hit the boy on the head with the handle of the fan: "You idiot! They dug a hole for you and you jumped out faster than anyone else. If you can't talk, then shut up!"

The servant covered his head with his hands in grievance, shrank his neck and dared not say a word.

Turning back, Liu Xing was pissed off at this stupid teammate. He waved his fan vigorously to dispel the anger in his heart, but he had already lost his patience.

"Mr. Qi, I warn you not to meddle in other people's business. This girl said she wanted to sell herself to bury her father. I spent money to buy her, but she changed her mind at the last minute. How can such a good deal be found in the world? I will marry her no matter what you say today!"

He folded his fan and pointed it directly behind Qi Gui.

This time, everyone looked at the girl. The girl's eyes were filled with tears and she hurriedly shook her head to deny it.

"No! Gentlemen, it's not what he said! My father just passed away. If there is any kind-hearted person willing to lend me money to bury my father, I can work for him to pay off his debts. It's not like he said I would sell myself, and I certainly won't marry him as a concubine!"

Liu Xing sneered: "You want to be a concubine? You are so beautiful, I think a maid is too ugly."

The girl was so embarrassed by what he said that she started to cry softly.

Cao Jun couldn't help but speak up for the girl again: "Liu, don't go too far! She just wants to work to pay off her debts, who wants to be your maid? If you don't want to help, there will naturally be someone willing to help. Do you have the shame to take advantage of the situation?"

Liu Xing opened his folding fan: "Oh? Is there anyone willing? Who? You?"

Cao Jun hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and said, "Yes, it's me! It's just a few taels of silver. I'll give it to the girl!"

Liu Xing raised his mouth with an evil arc: "Who told you that there were only a few taels of silver?"

Cao Jun was stunned: "How much is that?"

Liu Xing stretched out his empty hand and made a five to him: "Five hundred taels!"

Cao Jun's heartbeat suddenly stopped for a moment, and he shouted in disbelief: "Fuck! Five hundred taels? Why don't you just rob? Five hundred taels to bury a person? Five taels is too much, do you think I'm stupid?"

Liu Xing retracted his open palm, looked at his five slender fingers, and blew gently.

"Ask her yourself if you are stupid, why does she want five hundred taels?"

Cao Jun looked at the girl. Her face turned pale and she told the reason with trembling lips.

"I was deceived by him! I accepted the money and signed the contract, and then buried my father. When we arrived at Liu's house, they actually wanted to take off my clothes, saying that they wanted to dress me up and send me to Young Master Liu's bed to serve him."

The girl wiped the tears from her face, and a clean handkerchief appeared in front of her. She looked up and saw Qi Gui's gentle expression. She took the handkerchief with gratitude and wiped her face.

"I disagreed, so Manager Liu took out the contract and said it stated that I had to sell myself to pay off my debts. If I disagreed, I had to either pay back 500 taels of silver immediately or report to the police to arrest me. Then I took advantage of their inattention and escaped from Liu's mansion. I fled here in a panic and broke in when I saw a lot of people."

Cao Jun was filled with righteous indignation after hearing this: "I was wondering where the five hundred taels came from, and it turns out you are the one behind this! I tell you, Liu Xing, you are a fraud! You are seducing decent women!"

Liu Xing hooked his hand back, and the servant handed over the contract swiftly. He displayed the contract in front of everyone, waved it around, and finally stopped in front of Qi Gui.

"Look, it's written in black and white. She signed it with her own hands. Even if I take it to the government, I'm still right. How can it be considered fraud? If you have the guts, go to the government and sue me. I want to see if I win or you lose."

Cao Jun looked at the herdsman for help, and the other party shook his head slightly at him, indicating that what Liu Xing said was correct.

Seeing them being humiliated, Liu Xing felt even happier. He shook the contract loudly on purpose, and almost started humming a song.

"What do you think? Either give me the woman or give me five hundred taels. Look, it's such a simple matter, why do you have to make it so complicated?"

Cao Jun gritted his teeth but was helpless against this scoundrel. After all, among the four of them, he and Zheng Huaian had not yet completely taken over the family affairs and did not have that much money to spend.

Mu She was an honest official. Not only did they not give him money, they also had to treat him to meals regularly to prevent him from starving to death.

The only one left was Qi Gui. As he had taken over the family affairs, he might be able to come up with five hundred taels, but he was going to get married after all. It was too ambiguous to exchange five hundred taels for a woman, which could easily lead to criticism.

Thinking of this, he, who was not too stupid, finally came to his senses. It turned out that today's game was a trap set by Liu Xing specifically for Qi Gui.

If Qi Gui saves the woman, he will be accused of exchanging five hundred taels for the woman, which will affect the marriage between the Qi and Nangong families; if he does not save the woman, he will be accused of watching her die and being unworthy of being a gentleman, which will affect his overall control over family affairs.

The three of them realized this at the same time, and they all looked at Qi Gui worriedly, not knowing whether they hoped that he would agree or not.

The girl, who was holding back her tears, sensitively sensed the embarrassment and distress on the faces of several people, and with a sad heart she realized that she had brought trouble to others.

She looked down at the handkerchief in her hand that was wet with tears, then looked up at Qi Gui's handsome profile, secretly envying Miss Nangong. She carefully put the handkerchief into her sleeve pocket, then gritted her teeth and walked out from behind Qi Gui.

"Don't embarrass Master Qi, I'll go with you!"

Seeing his plan succeed, Liu Xing waved his folding fan with satisfaction. He glanced back outside the door and saw that the thugs had retreated to both sides and the onlookers were blocking the door, so he deliberately spoke loudly.

"It seems that Master Qi really loves Miss Nangong so much that he didn't even save such a pitiful little girl when she asked for help herself. What a pity~"

The girl panicked when she heard this: "No! Master Qi didn't stand by and watch someone die. This matter has nothing to do with him!"

Unfortunately, the public is only responsible for spreading gossip and does not care about the truth. They have already started whispering and are determined to make a simple incident into a melodrama.

Seeing that no one paid attention to her explanation, the girl became more and more desperate, and believed that it was her arrival that caused Qi Gui to be criticized.

Two lines of hot tears welled up again, and she bowed her head and kept apologizing to Qi Gui: "Mr. Qi, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

Qi Gui had a calm smile on his face from beginning to end, as if he was not affected at all.

He raised his hand to stop the girl from apologizing, and his dark and deep eyes looked fixedly at Liu Xing.

"You want five hundred taels?"
