Chapter 179: Sister, Kneel Down! Please Accept My Overflowing Love!

Jia Mansion, back garden.

Although it was already late autumn, the garden was still filled with vibrant colors, beautiful beyond compare.

A winding veranda cut through the garden.

In the pavilion in the middle of the veranda, several young ladies of the Jia Mansion were gathered around Bai Qingtong, chatting.

Not far away stood many maidservants and nannies.

On both sides of the veranda hung several birdcages; the canaries inside were hopping about, chirping incessantly.

A pretty maidservant dressed in plain white clothes was teasing one of the birds.

A nanny nearby could not bear to watch any longer and spoke up to stop her: "Qingwen, stop teasing that bird. With all that chirping, don't disturb the young ladies while they are talking."

Qingwen ignored her and continued to tease the bird in the cage with her finger.

The nanny said with some anger: "Why aren't you following Young Master Bao, and what are you doing here?"

Only then did Qingwen glance at her sideways and say: "It was the Young Master who sent me here to inquire about something. Nanny Liu, don't speak; your voice is too loud, don't disturb the young ladies while they are talking."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other maidservants nearby all burst into a giggle.

Nanny Liu was instantly so angry her face turned red. She sneered and muttered under her breath: "A sharp-tongued little hussy; let's see if you dare to be like this once you're married off."

Qingwen pretended not to hear and continued teasing the bird.

Over in the pavilion, Jia Tanchun was speaking angrily about matters concerning Daguanyuan.

"I checked the artificial hills and flower trees on the east side yesterday after I returned. I didn't expect that five thousand taels of silver had been drawn from the mansion's funds for them. I sent someone to inquire about the real price, and it shouldn't even cost one thousand taels..."

"Fortunately, Young Master Luo reminded me yesterday; otherwise, the silver in this mansion would have been hollowed out by those parasites. It is truly detestable!"

Lin Daiyu was listening silently on the side and couldn't help but say: "My silver here has all been spent. Yesterday, I swallowed my pride and went to the accounting office to draw some, but they only gave me two taels of silver. They even said that since I don't usually step out of the inner gates, two taels would be more than enough."

As she spoke, her eyes immediately turned red: "The Old Ancestor said before that the silver I brought would be kept in the mansion for me, and I could draw it whenever I wanted."

Upon hearing this, Jia Tanchun immediately stood up and said: "Daiyu, let's go, let's go find the Old Ancestor together!"

Lin Daiyu quickly said: "Forget it, let's wait until Sister Feng returns; I will go talk to her, so as not to make the Old Ancestor sick from anger again."

Jia Tanchun said angrily: "Those who are lazy and gluttonous greedily waste money, yet you, who are just trying to save your own money, can't even get it. It is truly detestable!"

Bai Qingtong was listening on the side and found it difficult to interject.

Actually, if it were before, Jia Tanchun would not have dared to speak of such family scandals in front of an outsider, but ever since she went to the Bai Family to see that Young Master Luo yesterday, she had no more reservations.

Such matters, even an outsider could guess, yet they, the family members, were kept in the dark; how ridiculous.

Anyway, the shame was already brought upon them, so what was there to fear.

Jia Tanchun spoke indignantly for a while longer, but fearing it would affect everyone's mood, she stopped and said: "Qingtong, don't leave at noon; stay and have a meal with Young Master Luo. I still have matters I would like to consult Young Master Luo about."

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but say on the side: "I also have matters to consult Young Master Luo about."

Bai Qingtong smiled and glanced at her.

Jia Tanchun teased her intentionally: "Pin'er, what I am consulting Young Master Luo about is official business, regarding the construction of Daguanyuan. As for what you want to consult him about, is it official business or private business?"

Shi Xiangyun, who was nearby, laughed: "Pinpin's must be private business, and the kind that we aren't allowed to know about."

Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu blushed and went to pinch her.

Shi Xiangyun giggled and ran away, circling around Jia Yingchun, saying: "Second Sister, save me!"

Jia Yingchun smiled and said nothing.

Lin Daiyu chased her for a few laps, her small face flushed red, panting softly, and out of breath. She said shyly and angrily: "Yun'er, I'll tear your mouth later!"

She stopped by a pillar and leaned against it, her cherry lips exhaling breaths in rapid succession, her heaving chest rising and falling; her slender and delicate body was like a willow branch in the wind, as if it could break at any moment. Her pair of eyes, filled with sorrow and shyness, were glistening with tears, looking pitiful and moving. Her beautiful face was stained with two blushes, like the flowers that had just bloomed in the courtyard nearby, charming and alluring, beautiful to the extreme.

This kind of delicate and shy demeanor had an even more sickly, heavenly beauty that made one feel pity at first sight.

Seeing this scene, Bai Qingtong couldn't help but think to herself: This Lin Meimei is truly worthy of her reputation. Even as a woman, in this situation, I feel my heart soften and my body go numb, with all sorts of pity welling up in my heart. If I were a man, how could I possibly withstand it? I wonder if Young Master Luo would be heart-struck and lose his soul if he saw this.

"Tanchun, I have things to do at noon, so I should be heading back soon."

She smiled slightly, politely declining the lunch, and then added with a smile: "I don't know if Young Master Luo has any plans; if he is free, Tanchun, you can invite Young Master Luo to stay behind and have lunch with you all."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jia Tanchun quickly said: "Then forget it; men and women should keep their distance, and this isn't anywhere else. If you aren't here, how would we dare to invite Young Master Luo to eat with us? If Father and the others found out, I don't know how they would scold us again."

After a pause, she added: "We will go visit your mansion in a few days."

Bai Qingtong smiled and nodded, glancing at Lin Meimei nearby.

Lin Daiyu lowered her head, her brows slightly furrowed, and there was a clear look of disappointment on her face.

Meanwhile.

The front courtyard.

Luo Zijun, carrying a huge sum of twenty thousand taels in silver notes, walked out of the side hall.

Jia She sent him to the door with a face full of smiles.

Luo Zijun reminded him again: "Master Jia, this matter must absolutely not be spread. If Daoist Ziyang finds out that I sold the medicinal pills he gave me, I probably won't be able to get any more pills in the future."

Jia She quickly promised: "Zijun, rest assured, I will definitely keep this matter buried in my stomach; I won't tell anyone."

He wouldn't dare to tell anyone about such a thing either.

Luo Zijun cupped his hands in farewell.

After walking out of the courtyard, a cold sneer finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Coming to the Jia Mansion this time, not only did he not pay a single tael of silver, but he also earned an extra five thousand taels, and all he paid were two bottles of the most ordinary pills.

Of course, this was just the beginning.

This old thing is responsible for building Daguanyuan, so there should still be plenty of silver in his pockets. Lin Meimei's massive family fortune, as well as the original assets of the Rongguo Mansion, should all be under his control now.

The Old Ancestor probably can't see clearly either. In that case, he can continue to deceive them until he squeezes the other party dry.

Besides this Rongguo Mansion, there is also...

"Young Master Luo!"

Just as Luo Zijun stepped out of the main gate, he saw someone suddenly flash out from the side and grab his sleeve.

It was none other than the master of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen.

Look, speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.

Saying I wanted to swindle his money, he has now voluntarily delivered it to my door.

A blade hangs above the word "lust"; once lewd thoughts arise, they are surely hard to dispel.

Luo Zijun pretended to be startled and said, "Jia... Lord Jia, what are you doing?"

Jia Zhen hurriedly put on a fawning smile, pulled him into a nearby corner, and immediately took a thick stack of silver banknotes from his sleeve, stuffing them into his hand as he said, "Young Master Luo, count them. There are twenty-five thousand taels in total. I only want one bottle of the virility-enhancing medicinal pill."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zijun hurriedly pushed the banknotes back, looking troubled as he said, "Lord Jia, aren't you making things difficult for me? I really don't have any left."

!

Jia Zhen hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Young Master Luo, just one bottle, you must sell me one bottle! You could sell them to Lord She, why can't you sell them to me?"

Luo Zijun said, "How about this, Lord Jia, why don't you go find Old Master She and buy a bottle? I just gave him two bottles."

Jia Zhen sneered immediately and said, "Young Master Luo, stop joking. Old Master She doesn't even have enough for himself, how would he sell one to me? At his age, he probably treasures those two bottles of pills more than his own life. If I dared to ask, he would probably kick me immediately."

Luo Zijun still looked troubled: "It's not that I won't sell, it's truly that there aren't many left..."

Jia Zhen looked at him for a few more moments and suddenly said, "Young Master Luo, is it because Old Master She promised to marry Yingchun to you that you keep selling him pills? How about this, come to my mansion now. I have many beautiful maidservants in my mansion; see how many you like and take them away, how about that?"

He paused.

He then whispered, "If the maidservants won't do, I also have a younger sister; you should know her, you came when she had her birthday last time. Although she is still young, her appearance is no worse than Yingchun's. When she is a few years older, come and take her away, how about that?"

Truly birds of a feather.

Looking at the face of this master of Ningguo Mansion before him, Luo Zijun could not help but feel disgusted.

This person's lust and shamelessness were even worse than Jia She's. He could even forcibly occupy his own son's wife, which shows the extent of his disgusting nature.

Luo Zijun remained noncommittal, pretending to think and hesitate for a long while before saying, "Lord Jia, then you must promise me that this matter must absolutely not be mentioned to others, especially Old Master She, otherwise..."

Jia Zhen immediately raised his finger and swore, "If I speak of this, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

Only then did Luo Zijun take the last bottle of pills from his sleeve and hand it to him.

This bottle of pills was one he had refined earlier; it was indeed the last one.

Jia Zhen hurriedly and excitedly took it, stuffed the silver banknotes in his hand into his, and impatiently opened the bottle cap to take a sniff.

Luo Zijun reminded him, "One pill a day, you must not take more."

Jia Zhen laughed, "I know. Young Master Luo, if there are any more pills refined by Daoist Ziyang in the future, please be sure to notify me first. Whatever Old Master She can give you, I can give you double."

Luo Zijun sighed and cupped his hands to take his leave.

Jia Zhen did not stay any longer either; he immediately took the pills and returned to the mansion, preparing to test their effects.

Seeing Hua'er waiting not far away, Luo Zijun put away the silver banknotes and walked over.

Hua'er said, "My Miss is still in the back talking to the young ladies of the Jia Mansion. Does the Young Master want to go over?"

Luo Zijun thought for a moment and said, "No need. Hua'er, I have other matters and must leave first. Go tell the Third Miss that you all should return to the mansion yourselves later; don't worry about me."

Hua'er hesitated, "Young Master Luo, where are you going? Can't you wait for my Miss to come out and go together?"

Luo Zijun said solemnly, "Of course I cannot."

Hua'er asked, confused, "Why?"

Luo Zijun said, "I am going to find my wife to hand over the money."

Hua'er said, "Ah?"

Luo Zijun said no more, waved his hand, and went out the door.

He first disguised himself in a small alley, then went to the bank, took a portion of the forty-five thousand taels of silver banknotes he had on him, exchanged them for silver, and put them into his Storage Bag.

This mountain-like pile of white silver—when he went to Bao'an Hall later and dumped it all in front of his Senior Sister, it would surely blind her eyes!

"Clatter, clatter..."

The silver immediately piled up on the counter, then bounced and fell to the ground.

His Senior Sister's little face turned red with excitement; she immediately bent her slender waist, stuck out her firm, round, beautiful buttocks, her towering chest sagging down, and knelt on the ground, letting her long, jet-black hair hang down like a waterfall. While picking up the silver, she said with a face full of adoration, "Brother Zijun, good brother, you are so amazing! So amazing!"

Thinking of that scene, Luo Zijun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Soon, he arrived at Bao'an Hall with his head held high.

As soon as he entered the shop, he immediately closed the door, removed his disguise, and looked at the beautiful young girl behind the counter who looked cold, pure, and charming, saying, "Senior Sister, today, you must give me a smile! And call me 'good brother' again!"

Su Qingling picked up that thick Rolling Pin from under the counter.

Luo Zijun snorted coldly, walked to the counter, took out the Storage Bag, and looked at her with cold arrogance, saying, "Young girl, please open your eyes wide, open your little mouth, and kneel down in astonishment to accept the overflowing love I have for you!"

Having said that, he shook the Storage Bag in his hand.

"Clatter, clatter..."

Countless pieces of white silver poured out of the bag like a tide, bouncing and scattering onto the counter, the floor...

Just listening to the crisp sound of silver colliding with silver was an ultimate enjoyment.

"Now, please kneel down!"

Luo Zijun held his head high and chest out, shaking the Storage Bag in his hand, looking down at her with disdain for everything. He deliberately shook some silver onto the floor, preparing to let her kneel on the ground to pick it up later, while he would stand proudly to the side, looking down from above at this cold and haughty girl.

That moment would surely be his most glorious highlight!
