Shengjing Noble

Chapter 529 Interest

Su Lanyin frowned and shouted unhappily: "Don't you know that I don't eat fatty meat? Besides, I'm tired of eating big fish and meat these days, give me something light!"

Nanny Jin looked aggrieved and muttered softly, "You said a few days ago that you liked to eat meat..."

"Stop talking nonsense and let Zhao Zide serve me. I won't eat what you serve me."

"Yes, please wait a moment."

Nanny Jin looked helpless and had to turn around and find Zhao Zide.

As soon as he entered the door, his usual sad expression changed and he smiled flatteringly.

"Girl, I'll serve you dinner right away."

As he said that, he walked forward, picked up a shrimp and put it in Su Lanyin's bowl.

"This dish is the lightest and it also has meat. Come and try it."

Su Lanyin nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, the boy is teachable. It seems that Master Zhao finally knows how to serve others."

"Hehehe..." Zhao Zide agreed with a forced smile, "Yes, thanks to you, young lady. It's all thanks to you."

"As long as you know."

Su Lanyin looked arrogant, then picked up the chopsticks and brought the shrimp to her mouth.

She had just noticed that the dish tasted wrong, and when she got closer to smell it, the smell of arsenic almost reached her throat.

Even the poisoning was so unskillful. It seems that Zhao Zide is really stupid.

Finally, the dog was cornered and could no longer endure it.

Is this a plan to burn your boats for the sake of five million taels?

Thinking of this, Su Lanyin put down her chopsticks.

Seeing the shrimp that was about to reach his mouth being put down again, Zhao Zide's heart began to rise and fall.

His eyes were fixed on the shrimp, and his ears were filled with the sound of his heartbeat.

It’s all Su Lanyin’s fault that her appetite is so big, like a bottomless pit that can never be filled.

These days, because of her mischief, he lost nearly one million taels, and now, she is asking for a huge sum of money again.

If he continued to agree, she would only ask for more and more and would never be satisfied.

What's more, most of his money had been spent on the mountain, and he couldn't afford to feed Su Lanyin.

So, he was forced into a desperate situation and had no choice but to find a way to kill Su Lanyin.

After all, she is just a woman, so he has nothing to be afraid of.

As for the King Xiaoyao behind her, when his master gains power, he will not take even the old emperor seriously, let alone the King Xiaoyao.

Thinking of this, he asked nervously: "Why doesn't the girl eat? Is it not to your liking?"

Su Lanyin placed her hands on the table and supported her chin. She said with a look of grievance, "I miss home. My mother and brothers used to eat with me. Now I am eating at such a big table by myself. It is so lonely."

"Ah? Then...then I can't invite the girl's mother and brothers as well, right?"

"We can't invite them, but you can replace them!"

"Ah?" Zhao Zide was shocked.

Su Lanyin quickly stood up and pushed him and Nanny Jin into the chairs.

"You two, stop standing there. Today I'm being merciful and won't need you to serve me, so you two should eat with me!"

"No, no, no, no..." Zhao Zide shook his head like a rattle, his face full of resistance.

Nanny Jin also waved her hands quickly: "No, no, how can an old slave be worthy of having dinner with the young lady and the master?"

Su Lanyin pressed them angrily: "If I say it's suitable, then it's suitable. If you don't want to eat it, I won't eat it either!"

"No!" Zhao Zide said anxiously, "Please don't refuse to eat..."

"Then you eat with me, and I will eat."

"I-I'm not hungry!"

"I'm not hungry either!"

Su Lanyin narrowed her eyes, crossed her arms and looked at them in a studying manner: "Aren't you all hungry? Could it be that you... dislike me?"

"No no!"

"Don't dare!"

"Then eat!"

"I'm not hungry!"

"I'm not hungry!"

"Why, you don't dare to eat?" Su Lanyin grabbed Zhao Zide's collar and asked. "Did you poison the food?"

"Ah? No, no! How could that be? How dare I poison you, ha ha ha ha... I wouldn't dare!"

Zhao Zide was exposed and immediately began to explain in panic.

Seeing that he was sweating profusely from nervousness, Su Lanyin couldn't help laughing, then sat back in her chair.

She picked up the chopsticks and said, "You wouldn't dare to poison me. After all, my husband has already arrived in Wutong Town and will come to pick me up soon. If it is discovered that I have been poisoned to death, Master Zhao will probably be implicated along with his entire clan."

Zhao Zide froze instantly, and asked with a twitching mouth: "You, you mean... that person is also here?"

"Yes, since you don't want to eat it, then I will eat it."

Su Lanyin said this as she picked up the chopsticks and was about to put the shrimp into her mouth.

Zhao Zide suddenly went crazy, knocked her chopsticks away with a slap, and then overturned the table.

Seeing the sumptuous meal in front of her turn into a pile of garbage in an instant, Su Lanyin stood up angrily.

"Zhao Zide, what do you mean? You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"

"I... this..." Zhao Zide swallowed his saliva, his eyes rolling wildly, and then explained, "These dishes are cold! Madam Jin, how dare you serve cold food to the young lady? Isn't this neglectful? Remove it immediately and replace it with new food!"

When Nanny Jin heard this, she quickly nodded and agreed: "It's all my fault. I'll have someone replace the young lady's food right away! Someone, come and clean up all this!"

"Yes!"

The servants quickly cleaned the hall and put the tables aside.

Su Lanyin walked to the couch and sat down, her expression full of dissatisfaction.

"Master Zhao, you scared me with your sudden movements."

Zhao Zide quickly stepped forward to apologize: "Don't blame me, young lady..."

"Now only silver can soothe my frightened heart, so when can you give me the five million taels?"

Zhao Zide gritted his teeth and thought to himself that no matter what, he would just fool her first.

"Miss, I really can't take out so much money. How about I give you part of it first and write you an IOU for the rest?"

Su Lanyin thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, but I have the final say on the content of this IOU."

"Of course, I'll write whatever you say."

"Well, how much can you give me?"

Zhao Zide thought for a moment and held up a finger: "One million taels..."

"Only one million taels? I'll charge interest."

"Yes, I will definitely give you the interest if you ask me."

He agreed on the surface, but he disagreed in his heart.

Humph, you little bitch, don’t be so arrogant. You still want my interest?

I just don’t know if you and King Xiaoyao can live to that time!

……

Soon, Su Lanyin received one million taels of silver notes, so thick that it filled an entire box.

Of course, there is also Zhao Zide’s IOU.

It said that if the remaining four million taels could not be repaid within three months, all of the Zhao family’s assets would be compensated to Su Lanyin.
