The Time Traveling Anchor and Her Eight Hundred Fence-Sitters

Chapter 75 It was a close call. I almost went bankrupt.

Zhao Mianmian didn’t stay at home for too long. On the second day of her sick leave, a distinguished guest came to her house.

How expensive is it?

Qin Shuyu's face changed drastically when he saw the person coming, and he hurried to the backyard to ask his mother-in-law to come out.

While asking Old Madam He to come out to meet the guests, she also sent someone to notify He Zhaoxian and He Jianxing who were still in the office as quickly as possible.

After all the work was done, he stood behind the old lady respectfully, not even daring to sit on the stool.

This distinguished guest is——

Xiao Haizhou.

No one in the He family could have imagined that Xiao Haizhou, the most powerful official in the country who controlled the government of Tianying and was second only to him, would appear in the He family at this time, and he seemed to be in a very good mood!

The moment the old lady saw Xiao Haizhou, she even thought about everything that He Zhaoxian and his son and grandson had done in the past two years, fearing that she had been exposed, or that the Grand Tutor might find some evidence against her and come to her house to question her.

However, the purpose of Xiao Haizhou's trip was not to visit He Zhaoxian and He Jianxing. He chatted casually with old lady He for a few minutes and then got down to business.

"I saw that young lady fainted at Xunshan Academy a few days ago. She seemed to be very frightened. I wonder if she is feeling better these past two days?"

When Xiao Haizhou mentioned Zhao Mianmian, both Madam He and Qin Shuyu were shocked.

Madam He didn't know why Xiao Haizhou mentioned Sister Mian. Thinking of the fact that it was the Xuanlin Guard who personally sent Zhao Mianmian home the day before, she was cautious and said ambiguously:

"Thank you, Lord Xiao, for your concern. My sister is fine. She just felt that the academy was too boring these past two days, so she found an excuse to be lazy at home."

Unexpectedly, after hearing what Madam He said, Xiao Haizhou not only did not give up, but became interested.

"be lazy?"

Xiao Haizhou raised his eyebrows, with a bright smile on his face:

"Your little sister is so interesting. Not only did she hide everywhere in the academy because of the four-legged snake, but now she is being lazy and doesn't even want to go to the academy?"

The old lady and Qin Shuyu looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.

The two could not guess what Xiao Haizhou was thinking, so they could only follow his words:

"Haha, children are naturally playful. It's a pity that our little girl lost her parents when she was young, and lived a hard life in the countryside for several years. Her aunt and I can't help but pamper her more."

"If I have offended Lord Xiao, I hope Lord Xiao will forgive me."

After Madam He finished her polite words, Xiao Haizhou did not respond. Suddenly, the huge front hall fell into silence, so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.

Unfortunately, the servant sent by the He family to look for He Zhaoxian and He Jianxing had not returned yet, leaving only the two female family members, who were sweating all over and dared not even move.

Just when Qin Shuyu and Madam He's hearts were about to jump out of their throats, Xiao Haizhou stood up.

He waved his hand, looking calm and composed.

"It's not that I bumped into her, but I got along really well with that young lady. Since I'm here today, I might as well go and see how she's lazy."

As he spoke, Xiao Haizhou took a big step and headed towards the backyard regardless of anything.

**

Logically speaking, ordinary people cannot enter the deep inner courtyard of the He family's mansion.

But the person who came was Xiao Haizhou, and the girl he met was only three years old, so everything was broken.

When Xiao Haizhou stepped into Linlan Courtyard, Zhao Mianmian was lying on a low couch, snoring.

If Dong Zhu hadn't been quick to wake her up, she would probably have continued to sleep.

Zhao Mianmian looked unhappy when she was woken up by Dong Zhu.

However, the audience who received the reminder of the broadcast excitedly rushed into the live broadcast room and "sent out" gloating screams on the public screen:

[Ahhhh, anchor, you are done, you are done, your creditor is here to find you! ! ]

[Hahaha, creditor? What kind of new statement is this? ? Didn’t the anchor catch him conspiring with someone? How can he be called a creditor? ]

[Well, that's what I said, but think about it, in TV dramas, people who hear things they shouldn't hear are usually killed. The other party saved the anchor's life, so he is her creditor! ]

[Tsk tsk, that does make sense~ But what kind of identity does that person have? How could he enter the backyard of the He family? Isn't it said that in ancient times, the separation of men and women was more important than life and death? Why did he let a foreign man into the backyard at this time? ? ]

Zhao Mianmian had just woken up. Her eyes were open, but her brain had not yet started working.

After being picked up from the couch by Dong Zhu, she stared at the person at the door for a long time. It was not until he spoke that she recognized who he was.

"What? You don't recognize me after just two days of not seeing me?"

Xiao Haizhou teased Zhao Mianmian with a smile, then walked towards her boudoir.

But after he entered the door, he did not stand still, but looked around, as if he was strolling in his own garden.

Logically, Xiao Haizhou's behavior was inappropriate, but he was the imperial tutor of the dynasty, with tremendous power and the power to kill anyone he pointed at. Who would dare to say that he was wrong in front of him? ?

So Zhao Mianmian watched Xiao Haizhou walk to her jewelry box and pick up the Kun Jade that symbolized the leader of Zhoutian Medical Sect as if no one was around.

【gold-】

Just as Xiao Haizhou fished out the Kunyu, a huge system prompt suddenly popped up on the public screen in front of Zhao Mianmian.

Seeing the long string of "0"s at the back and the accumulated gold coins suddenly becoming a negative number, Zhao Mianmian suddenly came to his senses.

No, she was not only awake, she felt like her entire soul had left her body.

Zhao Mianmian:

【? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 】

[No, no? ? I didn't add money when I picked it up, why are you deducting money now? ! And it's a negative number? ? ? ]

[Do you guys play like this? ! ! ! ]

There wasn't a single bit of heartache in the comments, all of them were [HAHAHAHA] without exception:

[It’s so funny, a negative number… Hahahahahaha, the system is really good at playing games, it directly gave the anchor a negative number!!]

[Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity for the anchor. He finally saved up 7,000 or 8,000 gold coins, but in the end he was back to where he was before liberation. But then again, anchor, your gold coins are already negative, is there any need to work hard? ? ]

[Okay, I've smashed another anchor. I feel like I'll be able to unbind and follow other people soon. Although it's not nice to say this, I still want to say...hahahahahaha! ]

Fortunately, Xiao Haizhou had no intention of killing Zhao Mianmian.

He took the Kunyu in his hand, looked at it from left to right, and finally threw it back into the jewelry box nonchalantly.

Xiao Haizhou threw the Kunyu back and Zhao Mianmian rushed over immediately. He quickly grabbed the jade pendant worth ten thousand gold coins and ran to a place five meters away from him.

【Coins+】

Seeing the total number of gold coins that had finally increased, Zhao Mianmian let out a breath.

It was a close call, I almost went bankrupt!!
