"Little... Little Lou's sister … "You, you, you … what are you doing …" Jin Dacheng's tongue also started to tremble, making it hard to speak.

Jin Xiaolou laughed: "Isn't it obvious what I want to do?"

"You … This is robbery! If I tell Li Zheng, you will lose your life! " Jin Dacheng took a deep breath and started shouting.

"Shh …" Jin Xiaolou moved the blade, "Then we will still have to see if you have a life to live until tomorrow. Why, did you choose silver?"

As he spoke, he moved to chop down deeper.

Jin Dacheng's entire body went soft, he immediately peed his pants in fright, and could no longer care about anything else, he immediately said: "No no no, I want to die, I want to live … …"

Jin Xiaolou wrinkled her nose, releasing a coquettish stench. She frowned: "Where's the silver? "Where is it?"

Jin Dacheng shook his hand, and only after a long time did he raise it back up, and point towards the wooden chest at the side. "Inside the chest …"

Jin Xiaolou held the blade in one hand, with the other, she opened the chest, inside were some ordinary clothes, and then reached in and touched it, very quickly finding a hard and bulging cloth bag.

Doubtfully, he took out and opened the bag. Inside were three to five taels of silver.

"Then... "That's it …" Under the moonlight, Jin Dacheng's face was ashen, the cut on his neck was not big, and fresh blood soaked his collar.

"I gave you three hundred silver notes!" Jin Xiaolou lowered her voice, "Don't play tricks on me! Where's the silver notes? "

"True... "There's really only this much left …" As Jin Dacheng spoke, he actually began to cry, his tears and snot streaming down his face, "You … She just gave me the silver notes and they were taken by my aunt … "Auntie …" "Aunt took the money and went back to the He family estate. The four silver taels were given to me by Aunt."

"Golden Fragrance?" Jin Xiaolou frowned, "Impossible, Wu Shun and Bi Jue are unwilling to let Golden Fragrance take the banknotes!"

How would Jin Dacheng care about Jin Xiaolou calling her elders by their first names? Worried that she wouldn't believe that she was going to take her life, Jin Dacheng quickly explained, "Really … "Really, my aunt promised to donate three hundred silver taels to me. Grandmother is very happy …"

Jin Dacheng's expression did not seem like he was lying.

He didn't expect that the silver notes would be taken away by Golden Fragrance …

threw the silver in his hand onto Jin Dacheng's body, kept his blade, and turned to leave the room.

After washing his blade in the water jar at the entrance, he returned back to the thatched cottage, took off his clothes, hung them on the screen and laid down next to Huang Guizhi.

Just as Jin Xiaolou entered the house and closed the door, a white figure entered Jin Dacheng's room once again.

Tonight, no matter how much Jin Xiaolou tossed and turned, she could not fall asleep.

Outside, Jin Family was in an uproar as he carried Jin Dacheng to find Li Lang. Jin Xiaolou was not worried that Jin Dacheng would denounce him, he had no evidence, she would just refuse to acknowledge it at the cost of his life.

Jin Xiaolou was just worried that the remaining three hundred silver left in the canned food shop would last for another two to three months. In such a short period of time, she would be able to go somewhere else to earn another three hundred silver …

In his mind, he unconsciously thought about what Gao Lang had said on the rooftop during the evening.

Until dawn arrived and Jin Dacheng was carried back, when the Jin Family people were busy taking care of him, yet no one came to find trouble with Jin Xiaolou.

This was something that Jin Xiaolou did not expect, with Jin Dacheng's personality, she would at least report it to him, and he would definitely want to skin him alive.

How could he endure not revealing it?

The Gui Zhi next to him moved, and slowly sat up. Only then did Jin Xiaolou open her eyes.

Gui Zhi tucked Jin Xiaolou in: "If you sleep a little longer, I'll go make breakfast first and call you guys over after breakfast."

Jin Xiaolou nodded obediently and turned to face the side. By the side, Gao Lang and Lin'er were still sleeping soundly.

Jin Xiaolou moved her eyes away and began to seriously consider the feasibility of Gao Lang's words.

She naturally wouldn't really sell Gao Lang out. Although her marriage with Gao Lang had been forced by the pressure of the Jin Family to the very beginning, after so many months had passed, Gao Lang, like the Lin'er and Gui Qi, had already become Jin Xiaolou's family.

Jin Xiaolou originally had no connection to this world. She was an outsider here, but with the three of them, this place became her world.

Initially, Jin Xiaolou's motivation to live was to find the man that hurt her and take care of Lin'er for her. But now, they were her greatest strength to live on.

She wanted to give them a good life.

He had to make those who had mastered the laws of this era stand on his side.

Jin Xiaolou sat up.

There was smoke coming from outside the house, and inside the house, it was warm and cozy.

However, this warmth could be broken by someone from the Jin Family at any time. She had to leave this place.

"Gao Lang, wake up. It's time to wake up." Jin Xiaolou made a decision, "We are going to take a trip to Xin Ning today."

Jin Xiaolou held Gao Lang's hand and stood outside the South Wind Hall.

The two of them were dressed in thick, solid clothes, like two grizzly bears huddled together.

"Gao Lang, remember, it's not that I don't want you anymore, I just want you to stay here for a while. At most three months, I'll definitely bring you home!"

Jin Xiaolou slipped her sleeve into the cotton garment's pouch and tightly held Gao Lang's hand.

Gao Lang nodded his head, "My wife, don't worry, I will listen to you obediently. I will eat and sleep well, and wait for my wife to come and fetch me!"

As he spoke, he held Jin Xiaolou back, "My wife, since you earned some silver from opening the shop, you must buy me some candy. Just treat it as compensation!"

Jin Xiaolou took a deep breath, "Alright, I'll definitely buy you the most expensive candy!"

The wooden door in front of him opened, and the woman with the thick powder stuck her head out, causing Gao Lang to shout out: "Aunt, I'm here to sell myself!"

"Yo!" "Welcome, welcome!" Hearing that, the woman was delighted, she looked at Gao Lang, then looked at Jin Xiaolou, "However, don't call me aunt, call me He Niang."

Jin Xiaolou withdrew her hand. "He Niang, let me make a deal with you."

When the He Niang heard him, her smile was as smooth as water. Opening the door, she extended his hand and gestured to invite them in: "Inside, it says that I love to make deals with pretty girls."

The Southern Wind Library was elegantly decorated. In the zigzag lobby, there was a mahogany square counter, surrounded by screens that formed a private room.

On the second floor, there was an observation stage and a private pavilion. Behind the private pavilion was a guest room for resting and sleeping.

In the inner courtyard, there was a sign called 'Stellar Pavilion'.

"Don't worry Lady Xiaolou, we are in a clearing house here. We don't sell our skills, Young Master Gao won't lose out here."

He Niang poured a cup for Jin Xiaolou and Gao Lang.

Jin Xiaolou did not bring any tea, and instead spoke to the He Niang with a serious face: "It's not good to be an artist, you know, Gao Lang, he …."

Jin Xiaolou then nodded her head: "There's something wrong here, although he is tall and big, he is in fact just a child. Although helping out with miscellaneous items is fine, but when talking to others, you will easily see the truth."

After saying that, Jin Xiaolou's eyes grew serious: "Why don't we just leave him as a vase, do you understand? I just wanted to show him that I don't want him to do anything.

Jin Xiaolou was a little perturbed.

"Sure."

Jin Xiaolou thought that the He Niang would refuse them for a while, but she never thought that she would agree to it: "Just make that vase, I will give you 500 taels of silver to let him stay at my place. Don't ask him to do anything, she will just serve tea and pour water for the guests.

Jin Xiaolou tilted her head and asked Gao Lang: "What do you think?"

Unexpectedly, Gao Lang laughed happily, "My wife, I like it here. The tea here is good, the snacks are delicious. "I'll work hard and wait for my wife to come pick me up!"

"Alright, then it's settled!" Jin Xiaolou clapped her hands and readily signed the contract with He Niang.

After Jin Xiaolou took the silver and said her goodbyes, the He Niang then led Gao Lang to the inner courtyard, passed through a small garden, and entered the Nightstar Restaurant.

He Niang picked out a bedroom for Gao Lang, and brought him to collect some clothes. After settling down, she instructed him: "Don't wander around everyday when you're free, and don't move when you see nice things, and even more so, don't do anything when you see nice people. Every night, the Southern Wind Hall opens at midnight, so you are responsible for pouring tea and pouring water from the outfield. You are not allowed to talk to customers, but if customers ask you, you have to answer them. "

With that, he looked at Gao Lang and asked: "Do you understand now?"

Gao Lang nodded: "Understood."

"Alright, then you rest first. Tonight, Brother Little Caiji will bring you there."

After He Niang finished speaking, she smiled at Gao Lang and turned to leave the room, closing the door.

He Niang was very satisfied with this Gao Lang. In all the years she had been in the Southern Wind Hall, he had never seen such an outstanding man. Although he was a fool, he could be used as a front in the library.

Furthermore, this Gao Lang, was so foolish that it caused others to love him dearly. He was like an innocent child, always reminding He Niang of his own son who had died a long time ago.

Just as He Niang left, Gao Lang's smiling face instantly froze into ice.

He reached out his hand, picked up the teacup, and lightly touched it to the teapot.

There was a crisp sound of porcelain colliding. The windows opened and closed, and there was an extra person in the room.

"Seventh Elder." Chang An cupped his hands beneath his head.

Gao Lang did not even look up.
