Chapter 178: Unable to Contain the Sheep, Unable to Trap the

those years, has anyone ever thought about how I got through it I thought I was just living under someone else's roof, living carefully every day, afraid that if I made one mistake, I would lose ever..."Well, well, if it isn't the three young masters of the capital," said Boss Tang with a smile on his face. He was very polite, but those who knew him well knew how terrifying he could be when he changed faces: "I wonder what brings the three young masters to see me"

"Mr. Tang, we're here to borrow money." Fan Deng directly stated the purpose of their visit.

“Oh I didn’t hear wrong, did I The Third Young Master of the capital actually wants to borrow money from my old Tang” Tang Boss spread his hands: “Third Young Master, my old Tang is in the business of lending and borrowing. You understand our rules, right Since you want to borrow, there must be collateral.”

"Come on, relying on our fathers' connections, can't Tang Boss make an exception this time Besides, we only need to borrow it for two days. We'll return it in full after two days." Fan Deng was clearly unwilling to back down. No matter what, they were sons of officials! Should Tang Ao not give them any face

Little did Tang Ao expect, upon hearing this, he burst into laughter: "I, Tang Ao, have been running the Tang Family Money Lending House in this capital for over a decade. I've seen all sorts of prominent figures. Rules are rules, and they won't be broken for anyone. So, esteemed guests, do you have any collateral"

Fan Deng thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! I'll mortgage my house to you!" Then he looked at Feng and Zhao, the two of them: "If we are brothers, let's do this together. Anyway, we've decided on this deal!"

Seeing that the two of them were still hesitating, he subconsciously glanced down: “That jade is about to be bought! Hurry up!”

Feng and Zhao finally gritted their teeth and agreed.

“Good! The Third Young Master of the capital truly has courage, he’s a man who can accomplish great things. As the saying goes, if you're not willing to part with a sheep, you can't catch a wolf! I, Tang Ao, admire your three's boldness.” Upon finishing his words, he beckoned with a hand, and his subordinate understood, immediately bringing over three contracts that the three of them had already drafted, placing one in front of each of them: “If the Third Young Master has made up their mind, then just sign it.”

Three of them looked at each other, then Fan Dou gritted her teeth, bit her finger and pressed it down hard. The other two followed suit.

"Very good!" Tang Ao seemed quite satisfied, holding the three contracts in his hand, he beckoned with a wave: "Come here, give the three young masters their silver!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the three young masters of the capital had received the three thousand taels and hurriedly ran downstairs to chase the man who wanted to sell jade.

Tang Ao from upstairs held the contract and walked to the railing, just as his gaze met Xiao Yuge's downstairs. They understood each other with a silent nod.

"Congratulations, Brother Fandan, for obtaining such a good jade!" Xiao Yuge caught up to the three young masters of the capital city. Seeing them happily holding and caressing the three jade pieces, she stepped forward to express her congratulations.

"Sister Ge'er, we have some things to do right now and can't accompany you shopping. Let's come find you tomorrow instead." Fan Deng was now focused on making money and naturally didn't pay attention to Xiao Yu Ge.

"It's fine, go busy yourselves." Xiao Yuge smiled and waved at them. Until they were far away, she turned back and just happened to run into Chu Tianqi who was looking for her.

"Brother, what are you doing here" She didn't expect Chu Tianqi to suddenly appear. She wondered if he had been following her all along

“I went to Ruyi Pavilion. They said you and the three young masters of Beijing came out, I wasn’t at ease, so I came looking for you. Didn’t they give you a hard time” Everyone knows what kind of people the three young masters of Beijing are. The women who get entangled with them don’t usually end up well.

"Brother, where did you go Why are they making things difficult for me Besides, you taught me so many martial arts. If I can't even protect myself, wouldn't that be a waste of your hard work"

Chu Tianqi smiled and nodded.

"By the way, brother, you came to find me, is there something" Xiao Yu Ge saw that Chu Tian Qi wasn't just simply coming to find her.

"Ge'er, I...I have something to tell you..." Chu Tianqi had been hesitating all the way here. He wanted to confess his feelings to Ge'er, but he was afraid. What if once he said it, Ge'er would no longer pay attention to him

"Alright, let's find a place to sit and talk."

Having found a quiet place, Xiao Yu Ge sat down and said to her brother, "Brother, this place is quiet. Sit down."

"Well, okay." Chu Tianqi sat down beside her with some trepidation.

Qing Luo and Zhao Si tacitly walked to the other side.

"Song..." Chu Tianqi sat beside Xiao Yuge, feeling a bit nervous, as if he was sweating. He unconsciously tugged at his collar.

"Brother, what's wrong Are you unwell" Xiao Yuge didn't know what he was going to do. Seeing the fine sweat on his forehead, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him.

"Song!" Just as Xiao Yu Ge's hand was about to let go, Chu Tian Qi didn't know where he found the courage, and grabbed Xiao Yu Ge's hand.

"Brother, what's wrong" Xiao Yuge's hand was grasped by him, a little at a loss.

"Song'er, I..." Chu Tianqi felt his breath quickening.

"Brother, don't worry so much, take your time and tell me. Look at you, you're sweating from being anxious, what happened Did something happen to our parents" Xiao Yuge guessed that maybe something had happened to her parents.

"No, Ger, Father and Mother are fine..." Chu Tianqi finally couldn't bring himself to say it.

"It's fine then, brother. Why did you only say half of what you wanted to say You scared me." Xiao Yuge retracted her hand and pouted, complainingly. Then she suddenly remembered something: "So, brother, what were you trying to tell me just now"

"It's fine, I just wanted to talk to you..." Chu Tianqi had already lost the courage to confess to her.

"Great, I'm free right now. It's rare for us to chat like this. Come on, what's bothering you Is it work or something personal"

"That's... personal."

Xiao Yu Ge looked at him with curious eyes, "Brother, you rarely talk about private matters with me. It seems like you must have encountered something difficult."

Chu Tianqi quickly glanced at her, then looked into the distance and let out a sigh: "Ge'er, I might have fallen for someone..." The one he loved was right beside him, but he couldn't tell her. His heart was aching.

"Is she your sister" To be honest, Xiao Yuge was also very curious now. After going through so many things, would Chu Tianqi still have Xiao Yufu in his heart

"No!" But Chu Tianqi did not hesitate for a moment.

"Isn't that so I always thought the person in my brother's heart was my sister. From childhood to adulthood, my brother's love for my sister was unparalleled."

Her words increased Chu Tianqi's guilt: "I admit, I took care of Fu'er more in the past, but that was just a brother's love for his sister, there was absolutely no romantic feelings involved."

"So, brother, are you telling me today that you have a girl you like That I'll soon have a sister-in-law, right" Xiao Yuge asked with an innocent and guileless expression.ou're not good at lying, so as soon as you lie, it's obvious. It was my sister who begged you, wasn't it She asked you to marry me, so she could be with the Crown Prince day and night, right" Ning Fen...
