Anyway, even if Xiao Ke owes her something, even if he doesn't have an IOU, she can always get it. If he doesn't want to give it, he sincerely wants to pay it back, and it's useless if there is an IOU. She won't argue with him, just pretend that she has never known this person before.

So IOUs and other things mean nothing to her.

The IOU is paper and it burns out in an instant; but a silk purse is a bit difficult.

Seeing that Zhao Ruxi was about to burn his hand, she quickly threw her purse on the ground, took out a golden hairpin from the jewelry box and picked it up to burn it until she could not see her true appearance, so Qingfeng took it out and buried it.

When Qingfeng entered the room, she said, "In the future, he will give you something, and you will continue. But don't let people see it, let alone tell others. My uncle and wife are the same. Do you know?"

"Yes." Qing Feng hurriedly responded.

Zhao Ruxi was relieved about Qing Feng. What she was not relieved was Ma Sheng.

After all, Ma Sheng is the guard guard in the mansion and has been with Zhao Yuanxun for many years. He must be more loyal to Zhao Yuanxun than to her. Moreover, he shoulders the heavy responsibility of her safety. If he feels that he cannot bear the consequences, he will probably tell Zhao Yuanxun about this.

But Zhao Ruxi didn't care. She wanted to see if Ma Sheng's mouth was tight.

Zhao Yuanxun is a good father and knows the right way. If he knew that she had contact with Xiao Lingyan, he would definitely come to ask her. Then she would just give her a reason to make excuses, which is not a big deal. It would be good to try Ma Sheng's loyalty.

After all, she is a person with many secrets, and she must contact Xiao Lingyan in the future. If the people around her are not loyal enough, she will be in danger. The danger actually comes from her.

The next day, Zhao Ruxi went to school as usual. After school at noon, she had just left the academy and got on the carriage. Qingfeng came over and said to Zhao Ruxi: "Girl, that fifth master, let you go to a house in Dongquan Lane."

Zhao Ruxi's eyebrows raised slightly, not surprisingly.

She ordered, "Lu Bo, please go there directly." She was very satisfied with Xiao Ke's knowledge of changing places.

Lu Bo was already familiar with the road in Beining during this period. He soon drove to Dongquan Lane in a carriage and finally stopped in front of a black gate.

Because it was already autumn and it was a little cold in the morning and evening, Qingfeng kept preparing a cloak for Zhao Ruxi in the car. Before getting off the car, she put on it, put on her hat, and covered her face with a veil. Her outfit was exactly the same as Xiao Lingyan's outfit yesterday.

Ma Sheng stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the door opened quickly. The one who opened the door was the imperial guard named Wang Tong.

"Miss Zhao, please." He moved out of his body.

Zhao Ruxi nodded slightly at him, crossed the threshold and walked in.

This house is an ordinary house. Only once you enter the small courtyard, there are some trees, flowers and plants planted in the courtyard. There are about five main houses, and corridors are built in front of the wing rooms on both sides.

Zhao Ruxi didn't walk in the corridor and walked directly into the middle corridor.

Xiao Lingyan was already standing in the main hall waiting for her.

When Xiao Liuzi saw Zhao Ruxi coming in, he bowed and retreated to the gate with Wang Tong. Seeing this, Qing Feng and Ma Sheng quickly retreated outside with them and consciously stayed away from the main hall.

Zhao Ruxi went in and sat down, squinted Xiao Lingyan: "Didn't I say that from yesterday, after leaving this door, we won't know each other? Why did you call me over again?"

Xiao Lingyan said seriously: "I want to do business with you, how about it?"

"No, I refuse." Zhao Ruxi said.

There are many businesses that make money in the world. Which industry can't she do? The money she earns is bound to be his. Why do you have to get involved with Xiao Lingyan, which will only increase the danger?

"Don't worry, listen to me." Xiao Lingyan said, "You did jewelry design as soon as you came. I know that everything you do has a purpose. I checked according to your practice and ideas, and found that people nowadays do not pay attention to jade."

He looked at Zhao Ruxi and said seriously: "Do you want to make the jadeite out, but you lack manpower? We can work together. If I don't come forward, it's not convenient for us to come forward. We work together, you are in the light and I am in the dark. I will help you when you need anything, how about it?"

Zhao Ruxi looked at him without saying a word, weighing the pros and cons in her heart.

"Xu Xi, I know that you can take your family to avoid other places, but this is not the root cause. If the third brother is going to make things difficult for you, you will run to the ends of the world and live a life of uneasy. What's more, you really have the heart to watch your grandmother and your master as old as you are? Let's not talk about Wu Huaisi and Gong Cheng for the time being, Mr. Kang and Wu Zong are good to you, right? Do you really have the heart to see them survive alone and their family will be destroyed?"

Zhao Ruxi sighed.

The one who knows you best in the world is your enemy.

She has been an opponent with Xiao Ke for several years, and Xiao Ke really knows her very well. Knowing that she has never been willing to let down people who are good to her, she can always find out the loopholes she is guarding to make her submit.

She knew that she couldn't do anything and didn't have any involvement with Xiao Ke, and Xiao Ke also knew this.

This guy is also a responsible person. She said that. If he didn't have a certain recognition of her character, he would not come to her again today.

When Xiao Lingyan saw her like this, she knew she was moved and continued, "You know my character too. Although we fight and become opponents, we are just making the two old men happy. With my character, I think I am still worthy of your trust. When the second child takes up the throne and I am here, you don't say you do whatever you want, and you can walk sideways in the capital. Besides, I will be very careful and will not put you in danger. This is not good for me, right?"

Worried about the walls, he was unwilling to say sensitive words such as the second prince or Xiao Lingpu, so he simply used the second and third brothers to call Xiao Lingpu and Xiao Lingheng.

"How do you want to cooperate?" Zhao Ruxi asked.

"I sent some people to the south, bought mines, hired locals to mine the rough stones, opened the window and transported them to the capital. After receiving them, you polished some and designed them into jewelry." He said.

Speaking of this, Xiao Lingyan and Zhao Ruxi both frowned at the same time.

In fact, in order not to be discovered, this is Xiao Lingyan's business, it should be that Xiao Lingyan bought the mine, cooperated with the locals to mine, and then sold it by the locals. Zhao Ruxi's people went to the south, pretended to be purchasing, bought the raw stones with open windows, and then transported them back to the capital. This is the reasonable approach.

But Zhao Ruxi had no one available at hand.

Although Kang Shilin and Wu Zong should have someone in their hands, they have a family. It is okay to let them invest. Once they even have the raw materials in their hands, the people of their family will find that the benefits are very great and will definitely jump out, snatch the business into their own hands, and kick Zhao Ruxi out.
