Chapter 163 Borrowing Lu Chaochao’s life

People of the Xu family are stupid, rich in money, and generous.

Over the years, the old lady has saved more than 50,000 taels.

But when Mrs. Pei went shopping, she was caught by Mrs. Xu in public.

In order to make up for the dowry, the old lady paid back 30,000 yuan in one go.

There are still 20,000 yuan. When Xu and Li moved the Hou Mansion into an empty shell, she spent another 20,000 yuan to repair the Hou Mansion.

Even so, the Hou Mansion seems extremely...

Uh, poor style.

After all, Xu’s screen costs 20,000 yuan.

But now, the entire Hou Mansion only costs 20,000 yuan.

Seriously, the family has nothing but walls.

To put it bluntly, Xu's ability to make money is truly rare. If it were a man, I'm afraid even the imperial merchants would be able to compete.

However, she doesn't like it either.

It’s hard for an old lady to switch from extravagance to frugality. She couldn’t finish eating abalone and bird’s nest back then, but now...

Only suitable for eating vermicelli.

"Mom, I'm afraid three hundred taels are a bit short..." Mrs. Pei held the banknote in her hand and looked at the old lady.

The old lady was so angry that she looked up: "I really owe you!"

She has more than six thousand taels left, and that is her coffin book! !

After living a good life with Xu for eighteen years, she has never had such an embarrassing life.

The Pei family has been in the family for a year, and the food and clothing expenses in the mansion have been repeatedly reduced. The maids complained, so why not her?

Mrs. Xu attaches great importance to food and clothing. All spring, summer, autumn and winter clothes are personally made by the shopkeeper.

Tou Mian is not stingy about buying, buying, buying.

Where is Pei? Just don’t mention it.

"Give me another two hundred taels!" the old lady said bitterly.

Mrs. Pei pinched the five hundred taels of silver notes and bit her lower lip slightly when she saw the boredom in the old lady's eyes.

"Mom, our family is really having a hard time recently. Jiaojiao would like to pay her respects..."

"Look, since the Marquis reconciled, he has been reprimanded and demoted by His Majesty."

"Brother Huai was assigned to the "Shit" category in the provincial examination, and suffered a serious illness. After a good Xie Yuan, he became Lu Yanshu."

"This one, one by one, don't you think so?" Pei's tone was soft and reasonable, which actually made the old lady calm down.

The old lady's expression changed slightly.

Lu Jingyao suddenly said: "All our family's luck seems to have gone to Lu Chaochao."

"She collects national debt and becomes Princess Zhaoyang..."

"Our family is getting more and more unlucky." Lu Jingyao muttered casually.

The old lady's eyes suddenly changed.

Mrs. Pei glanced at the old lady and saw her daughter shaking her head slightly, so Ms. Pei shut up.

"I heard that some people can draw luck..." Lu Jingyao said thoughtfully.

“No wonder this year has been so rough!”

"This damn girl should have drowned in the first place!" There was a hint of cruelty in the old lady's eyes.

"Now that she is being protected by Mrs. Xu, what else can we do?" the old lady retorted angrily, wishing that Lu Chaochao had not been eliminated in the first place.

"My granddaughter heard that one's birth date can lend one's life. It would be great if one could lend her life." Lu Jingyao said casually.

The old lady's brows twitched slightly.

The old lady kept this in mind and stopped talking.

After the old lady left, Mrs. Pei hugged Lu Jingyao sadly.

Incense was lit everywhere in the house, but it seemed like it couldn't cover up the stench.

"Mom, Yaoyao is so unwilling!"

"You have wronged my Yaoyao, don't worry, my mother will avenge you. I think she can borrow her life for a few days!" Mrs. Pei held the five hundred taels.

"Mom, go to Zhuque Street and take a look."

Mrs. Pei was stunned: "Suzaku Street? The people living there are all the criminals of the former dynasty."

Even the Xue family of the former royal family lived here.

After the former emperor overthrew the previous dynasty, in order to show his benevolence and righteousness, he did not exterminate the royal family.

Because of this move, he won over many former court officials and continued to serve Beizhao.

But the emperor never stopped monitoring Zhuque Street.

After all, the emperor didn't know how many people in the court still cared about the previous dynasty.

"The Xue family still wants to overthrow Beizhao."

"But the only royal bloodline is dying..."

Pei's eyes lit up.

Lu Chaochao is Princess Zhaoyang and a close confidant of the emperor.

The Xue family of the former royal family must have hated him to the extreme.

If Lu Chaochao could borrow his life to extend the life of the Xue family, I'm afraid the Xue family would have no scruples!

As soon as it dawned, Mrs. Pei sent her concubine out of the house quietly.

Sent ten miles outside the city.

"You should be ordained and become a monk. I will take you back home in three days."

"Living in the Hou Mansion as a senior monk."

The man immediately left happily.

Mrs. Pei returned to the city and took an excuse to wander around Zhuque Street.

She has never been in contact with the Xue family, so she doesn't want to die yet.

It was only vaguely revealed that Princess Zhaoyang had a strong character and strong luck. No wonder His Majesty accepted her as his adopted daughter.

Aroused the Xue family's interest.

"Be sure not to lose the horoscope of Chao Chao, or someone will take advantage of it." Mrs. Pei looked at the maid, who hid the white paper in her purse.

The two of them walked around the city again before Shi Shiran returned home.

As soon as you enter the gate of Hou Mansion.

"Do you still have the paper on which you wrote the horoscopes?" she asked.

The maid touched her purse, and sure enough, it was empty.

Mrs. Pei smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth. She touched a piece of silver and gave it to the maid. The maid then smiled and thanked her.

At this moment, the emperor was also worried about the Xue family.

"Sacrifice? How can the Xue family have the dignity to ask for sacrifice?"

"If the late emperor hadn't been so soft-hearted, he should have dug up the tomb of the previous dynasty!" Emperor Xuanping threw the paper away impatiently.

"I must keep it to show the emperor's favor. Now, leave the mess to me!"

"Those ministers in the court are loyal to me on the surface, but they are still paying attention to the previous court secretly! Now, it's hard for me to take action!" The emperor's eyes showed a fierce look.

The prince looked through the memorial: "There are actually many courtiers who agree to the Xue family's sacrifice?"

The Xue family's imperial mausoleum is still there, and if the Xue family wants to offer sacrifices, they naturally need Emperor Xuanping's consent.

"I guess it's the last bloodline of the Xue family that has died. I want to sacrifice the Xue family's imperial mausoleum and leave the last trace of blood." The emperor said calmly, with anger surging in his eyes.

"If we can completely stop thinking about the previous dynasty, we will be completely safe." The emperor tapped his fingers on the table, as if thinking about something.

"I heard that the last bloodline of the Xue family is seriously ill. How great would it be if we could just..." cut off the bloodline?

"Your Majesty, the spies have just received news. The Xue family seems to want to lend their lives... to extend the life of Xue Huang." Yes, they secretly named Xue Huang, which is the same as Xue Huang!

Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart.

"Borrowing your life?" The emperor was stunned.

"Yes, they have found... a man with extraordinary luck and profound blessings to borrow their life." The great eunuch lowered his head, fearing that His Majesty would be angry.

"He even claimed that if the loan was successful, he could even regain the former dynasty." The great eunuch closed his eyes, fearing that the emperor's teacup would fall on his face.

"Whose life can you borrow to overthrow Beizhao?" The emperor laughed angrily.

"Princess Zhaoyang."

The smile on the emperor's face slowly faltered? ! !

"Who are you talking about! Whose life do they want to borrow?!" The emperor gritted his teeth.

Damn it, borrow your life from my thigh? ?

The prince smiled with his eyebrows arched.

"I'm so happy, so happy!"

"If you feel sleepy, give me a pillow!"

"Father, please give me a good thigh." The prince looked at him sourly.

"Your heart ailment will be cured immediately!"

It can even prevent future troubles!

How could Lu Chaochao's life be borrowed from a mere mortal? ! !
