Of course it wasn’t good for a woman to have so much money on her, so naturally, Su Shenfan had to help her keep it.
She dared to show it off in front of him; she was tired of living.
Bu Yaolian ran all the way to Gu Bailu’s Fu’an Palace. Although the two palaces were close to each other, this was still the imperial palace. Even if the distance wasn’t far, it wasn’t a matter of taking a couple of steps next door.
When she arrived at Fu’an Palace, Gu Bailu was already having breakfast.
“Why are you here so early in the morning? You don’t look very good.” Gu Bailu smiled.
Bu Yaolian sat down and said hatefully, “Shao Zun isn’t a good person. He took my money and said that he would keep it for me. I’m so angry.”
She was here to complain.
Gu Bailu coughed in understanding. “What happened? Why did he take your money? No… Why did you let him know about it?”
Bu Yaolian told her what she had done.
Gu Bailu rubbed her forehead. “You, you’re doing your money a disservice, waving it in front of Shao Zun. Are you afraid it will turn moldy on you?”
“He provoked me. I don’t have anything in the first place. I don’t know how to cook, nor do I have any spiritual power. I can’t help him. I can’t have him looking down on me for not having any money. I took it out when I was provoked to show him that I can still use it if he’s really in trouble in the future. Who knew that he would be so shameless and take it!”
Bu Yaolian didn’t believe Su Shenfan’s nonsense. What did he mean by keeping it for her? If he kept it, it would become his.
Gu Bailu didn’t know what to say. “You’ve always been smart. Why are you so stupid in front of Su Shenfan?”
When women fell in love, they really had no intelligence.
Bu Yaolian was a classic example.
“Stop scolding me. Help me think of something.” Bu Yaolian was really anxious. She had nothing to begin with. If she didn’t have even money, she didn’t want to live anymore.
Gu Bailu smiled. “Su Shenfan doesn’t really want your money. He’s just bluffing. Who told you to act so high and mighty in front of him?”
Showing off her silver to Su Shenfan, who loved money the most, and saying that she would give it to Su Shenfan as New Year money, was simply courting death.
“But I don’t know how long his bluff will last. I want to use a large sum of that money in the new year.”
Gu Bailu thought for a moment. “I have an idea.”
She whispered something in Bu Yaolian’s ear, and Bu Yaolian’s eyes immediately lit up. “Good, good, that’s a great idea!”
Gu Bailu poked her forehead. “Don’t be so stupid next time.”
Bu Yaolian scratched her head. “I can’t help it; I can’t think straight in front of my idol.”
Gu Bailu snorted. “You have to be rational, no matter how much you like him. Also, hurry up and get thinner, or your idol will become your killer. When the time comes, he’ll chase you to the ends of the earth.”
Bu Yaolian trembled. “I… I will. I’m determined to lose weight.”
Right then, Feng Qingtian returned from training in the garden.
When he saw Bu Yaolian, he frowned.
He didn’t like anyone who occupied his Lulu’s time, not even girls.
Bu Yaolian was flustered under his stare and quickly stood up. “I’ll go back first.”
“Wait, I’ll give you something.”
Gu Bailu took out a black box from the Soul Collecting Bracelet and gave it to her. “Keep it safe. Don’t be fooled by Su Shenfan again.”
