Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Mo Li asked, "Then where did Master He get this pattern?"

He Shen smiled slightly and said, "I got it in exchange for five hundred taels of silver."

"Five hundred taels?" Mo Li seemed very surprised. "Oh, Lord He, you spent five hundred taels on me. How can I feel good about this?"

He Shen laughed and said, "What's that? Lord Mo, you broke the kite to save the victims. I feel ashamed that I can't do the same. This is just five hundred taels as a token of my respect."

Du Xiaoyue thought Heshen would be so kind, and said, "Brother Li, be careful, this picture may be fake."

He Shen said, "Hey, Miss Xiaoyue, your words are too polite. Lord Mo and I are friends after all. I won't betray him."

He swallowed and continued, "I understand what you mean. You think He is a traitor, so this blueprint must be fake."

Mo Li knew He Shen was genuinely trying to help him, but since he had already found the kite, He Shen's pattern wouldn't have helped. However, he still said, "Xiao Yue, you're wrong. If Lord He Shen wanted to harm me, he could have just stood by and watched. If I couldn't find the kite pattern, I'd be doomed. He didn't need to use a fake pattern to harm me, right?"

He looked at Heshen when he said the last sentence.

He Shen clasped his fists and said, "The one who understands me is Mo Li."

Mo Lixin thought that if he didn't accept the pattern, He Shen would become suspicious of him, so he said, "Thank you, Lord He, for the gift of the pattern."

Du Xiaoyue thought that Brother Li had already found the kite, so this picture came at a bad time. She said, "Xiaoyue has wronged you, sir. Please forgive me, sir."

He Shen smiled and said, "As the saying goes, a thousand gold coins cannot buy Miss Xiaoyue's smile. My five hundred taels of silver are worth it. Worth it."

Du Xiaoyue smiled and bowed.

……

Tao Sangu hid by the wall and made sure that no one was around before she sneaked into her house. Thinking of what had happened before, she felt a little regretful.

I thought that Mo Li was too cruel. He let the official beat me with forty boards and I am still in pain.

Thinking of her own life experience, she couldn't help but feel sad.

"I've been a con man for most of my life, and I finally managed to get rid of my conscience. And now, God has given me this nerd Zhu Junhao. My heart is broken."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Junhao walked in and said, "It is a great honor to admit one's mistakes and then improve."

Aunt Tao said, "Mr. Zhu, why are you here?"

Zhu Junhao said, "Let me take a look."

Aunt Tao said, "What's so good about it?"

Zhu Junhao said, "Actually, I'm quite pitiful. My parents died early, and it was my third uncle who raised me."

Aunt Tao said, "No wonder you're so kind. You come from a well-off family, so you must not have suffered much."

Zhu Junhao asked, "Why do you say that, Auntie?"

Aunt Tao said, "Your uncle was able to raise you to this age and even had money to support your education. It's obvious that he comes from a well-off family."

Zhu Junhao thought she was right.

Aunt Tao continued, "I'm miserable. I was raised by my adoptive father, a drunkard who beats and scolds me all day long. If I weren't afraid of starving to death if I left him, I wouldn't want to stay with him."

She swallowed and continued, "Then, when I was fifteen, marriageable age, my adoptive father married me off to a wealthy man as a concubine. Later, his wife disliked me and kicked me out. After that, I ended up living on the streets, swindling people for a living."

Zhu Junhao thought, why don’t you find a good family to marry?

But if you think about it carefully, who would want her with her status?

I didn't expect that she was even more pitiful than me.

It is true that there must be something pitiful about a hateful person.
