Chapter 110 Borrowing Money to Redeem Someone
"Oh, so that's how it is! I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of the two men, Lei Qinyu prepared to leave.
"Goodbye, Lord Lei." Li Siqi and Xu Yingying said politely.
Seeing that he couldn't get any benefit from Li Siqi, Lei Qinyu was very angry.
But now is not the best time for him to take action against Li Siqi. Now the people of Jun County trust Li Siqi and Xu Yingying very much. If he takes action at this time, he will really not be able to control Jun County.
After Lei Qinyu left, Xu Yingying and Li Siqi finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Lei Qinyu would suddenly catch them off guard, but Lei Qinyu just left like that, and Li Siqi found it a little strange.
Lei Batian just inherited Lei Qinyu's temper. He is arrogant and will not give up until he achieves his goal. Now that Lei Qinyu said he would leave, he left. Li Siqi was worried that he might have other thoughts behind his back.
After thinking it over, Li Siqi still couldn't feel at ease, so he called a waiter.
"Go and keep an eye on Lei Qinyu. If he does anything unusual, come back and report to me immediately."
"Yes." Yitai took the order and left.
Seeing Li Siqi's order, Xu Yingying asked, "Your Highness, are you afraid that Lei Qinyu might do something?"
"Yes, from what I know, Lei Qinyu shouldn't be so easy to talk to. I'm afraid he and Li Siming are plotting something again, so I'm just looking for someone to keep an eye on him for peace of mind."
Hearing this, Xu Yingying just nodded and said no more. She and Li Siqi had a different opinion. Lei Qinyu's behavior was simply because he was afraid. What's more, Li Siming was far away in the capital and had no time to take care of Jun County. Even though he hated Li Siqi to the core, he was out of reach. Li Siqi was probably worrying too much.
A few days passed uneventfully. With nothing to do, Li Siqi thought about taking Xu Yingying to Yihongyuan again.
"Why did Your Highness go to Yihong Courtyard again? Could it be that he has taken a fancy to a girl there?" Xu Yingying teased.
Li Siqi's face showed a trace of embarrassment, but it disappeared immediately. "What are you thinking about? Someone just reported that Lei Batian has been frequently in and out of Yihong Courtyard recently. Aren't you curious about what he is doing?"
"Lei Batian went to Yihongyuan? Although Yihongyuan is a brothel, the consumption is extremely high. The Lei family should have very little money left now. Why does Lei Batian still have spare money to go to Yihongyuan?" Xu Yingying frowned, very puzzled.
Lei Batian spent money lavishly, and Lei Qinyu did not stop him. This made people think a lot, and even suspected that Lei Qinyu had hidden money that was unknown to others.
Li Siqi was not as worried as Xu Yingying. Xu Yingying didn't know where Lei Batian got his money, but Li Siqi knew a thing or two.
"Why don't you go and take a look and find out?" Li Siqi smiled mysteriously, but Xu Yingying was a little confused.
Since she had nothing to do, Xu Yingying packed up and followed Li Siqi out of the house.
Yihongyuan is the largest brothel in the entire Jun County. The previous courtesan Lian Yi attracted many wealthy families in Jun County to spend huge sums of money just to see Lian Yi.
It’s just that Lian Yi died and Yihongyuan lost its reputation, but its status was not affected.
Not long after Lian Yi's death, Yihongyuan's business began to flourish.
When Xu Yingying arrived at Yihong Courtyard, she was stopped by someone before she even stepped into the courtyard.
"Master Xu, Master Xu!" It was a man's voice. Xu Yingying was very familiar with it. Wasn't this Lei Batian?
Xu Yingying turned around with a look of slight disgust on her face, pretending to be surprised, "Isn't this Young Master Lei? I didn't expect that we would meet again. I wonder what Young Master Lei wants to talk to me about?"
Lei Batian scratched his scalp, his face slightly embarrassed, but he still looked at Xu Yingying with a flattering face.
"Master Xu, I know you are not short of money. That gentleman is very well connected. Master Xu is on good terms with him, so I think he must have gained a lot of benefits. This time I came to you because I want to ask you for help. I wonder if you are willing to help me?"
Seeing that Lei Batian and his family were always obsessed with money, Xu Yingying had some vague guesses in her mind.
In order to cooperate with Lei Batian, he winked at Li Siqi and took Lei Batian to the side a few steps, "Master Lei, please tell me, if I can do it, I will do my best."
Seeing Xu Yingying say this, Lei Batian was delighted. "It's not a big deal. I'm just a little short of money recently. I wonder if you can lend me some money to help me out?"
Xu Yingying's eyelids jumped. As expected, Lei Batian came to borrow money. "Master Lei, you are joking. The Lei family's wealth is not comparable to that of the high officials in the capital, but in Jun County, it is also the most powerful. Master Lei, are you still short of money? Are you making fun of me?"
Seeing that Xu Yingying didn't believe him, Lei Batian got a little anxious, "Master, why would I lie to you about this? If I wasn't really strapped for cash, I wouldn't have come to you for help."
"Then Master Lei, please tell us, what do you want to borrow the money for?" Xu Yingying knew of course that Lei Batian was not a fake, but the fact that Lei Batian could block her at the gate of Yihongyuan must be related to something inside Yihongyuan.
"Isn't it... that there is a new courtesan in Yihong Courtyard. She is extremely beautiful. It is no exaggeration to say that she is a thousand times more beautiful than Lian Yi..." Lei Batian chuckled.
But before he could finish, Xu Yingying interrupted him, "So, you want to borrow money to spend a night with that new courtesan?"
Xu Yingying didn't expect Lei Batian to be so shameless, borrowing money from everywhere just to give to a brothel girl.
Xu Yingying rejected Lei Batian without a second thought, "Master Lei, please go back. I'm not as wealthy as you think. You should find someone else."
After saying that, Xu Yingying turned around and left, not giving Lei Batian any chance to pester her.
Li Siqi was still waiting for Xu Yingying. When he saw her coming back, he asked curiously, "Why did Lei Batian look for you?"
It would have been fine if I hadn't asked, but as soon as I asked Xu Yingying I felt speechless.
"I have never seen such a shameless person. He borrowed money from me to reward the new courtesan of Yihong Courtyard in order to spend a night with her."
Xu Yingying was furious, while Li Siqi couldn't help laughing. Xu Yingying couldn't help but rolled her eyes at him, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's okay. Since the annoying thing is not here, let's go in. It's a good opportunity to meet the courtesan that Lei Batian is obsessed with."
Xu Yingying nodded unhappily and followed Li Siqi into Yihong Courtyard.
In Yihong Courtyard, Aunt Wang came to greet them from afar. The last time Li Siqi spent a huge sum of money just to see Lian Yi, it left a great impression on Aunt Wang.
