Chapter 264 Bell
Meng Qingqian didn't have many personal belongings. In addition to the clothes that women need to wear, she also had a jade pendant and a bell.
The bell was naturally used in conjunction with the Soul Devouring Pill to restrict He Yunxiao.
Seeing this thing, Meng Qingqian felt a little relieved from the various emotions that He Yunxiao had aroused.
How to say it, although He Yunxiao broke her heart intentionally or unintentionally, his life was still in her hands. Comparing the two, life is more important. But I heard that people who have eaten the Soul Devouring Pill will not live long, this is not okay, He Yunxiao is very useful, he can't die easily.
Meng Qingqian clenched the bell in her hand, then removed the red string on the jade pendant, put it through the hole of the bell, hung the bell on her chest, and carried it close to her body.
The bell is not big, it is suitable to hang it on her chest. But it doesn't matter if the bell is bigger or smaller, anyway, it is deeply embedded in the soft flesh and can't move.
With this item close to her body, as a protection and psychological hint, Meng Qingqian's mind was calmed down again, and she didn't blush and her heartbeat when she saw He Yunxiao, and she didn't lose her voice when her defense was broken.
However, the bell hanging around her neck is very easy to make noise when she walks, so she has to think of a way.
Meng Qingqian had already changed her old clothes. Among the clothes she changed, she also changed her old underwear and the handkerchief given by He Yunxiao.
Both of these things need to be washed well.
Meng Qingqian thought about it, and without disturbing the maid, she took out the short knife for self-defense, cut a piece of dry and soft cloth on the underwear, and stuffed it into the bell to block the sound. As for the rest of the underwear, it was ignited by the candlelight and burned.
Completely destroy the evidence.
Now the only evidence that can prove that her defense was broken is He Yunxiao's handkerchief and He Yunxiao himself.
Meng Qingqian thought about it, but still did not destroy the handkerchief given by He Yunxiao. Because he himself is the evidence, it is meaningless to destroy the handkerchief at this time. Besides, He Yunxiao is a thief with many tricks. He can also buy the same style as the handkerchief stained with his saliva last time to stimulate himself.
Thinking of this, it is better to leave the handkerchief and wash it clean to show that he doesn't care. This "I don't care" approach can make He Yunxiao more honest and obedient.
Meng Qingqian washed her body, changed her clothes, put on the bell, and asked the maid to wash and keep the handkerchief carefully before rushing to the living room to keep the appointment.
To be honest, perhaps because she has to spend a lot of time reading memorials for many years, Meng Qingqian has always been quick to do things, even in changing clothes.
Two quarters of an hour after leaving He Yunxiao, Meng Qingqian came to the living room and saw He Yunxiao again.
After experiencing the pink peony handkerchief incident, even with the bell to calm her mind, Meng Qingqian could not face He Yunxiao with a completely calm mind.
A barely perceptible blush flew onto Meng Qingqian's face. When facing He Yunxiao, her mood and breathing became a little faster.
He Yunxiao originally planned to wait for an hour and leave if he couldn't wait for anyone. He knew how fast women change clothes. Don't have illusions about them.
Although it was important to talk about the development of the bank, he also promised Chuchu that he would go to play with her in the afternoon. Compared with the heroine and the career, He Yunxiao would always choose the heroine.
He Yunxiao had been very clear about this kind of thing since his last life.
Why did he go to school in his last life? To make money.
What is the purpose of doing business in this life? The heroine.
The heroine comes first, the career comes second, and the priorities cannot be reversed.
As a result, before waiting for an hour, less than half an hour, the antidote came over after changing clothes.
"Miss Li, your dress is not bad, but if you can wear some, ahem, more feminine clothes, you will definitely be more beautiful. Apart from that, those ladies from wealthy families definitely cannot compare with you."
Gu Yan
He Yunxiao had something to ask Li Qingmeng, and he took the opportunity to compliment her as soon as he saw her.
Meng Qingqian boasted of her unparalleled beauty, and originally did not accept such "poor compliments" at all. But He Yunxiao was different from others. To her, he was special among specials, an exception among exceptions.
Even though Meng Qingqian was not happy at all because of He Yunxiao's compliments, she felt a little ashamed because He Yunxiao took the initiative to talk to her and it reminded her of her memories.
Her pretty face turned red again, a little bit unobservable.
Meng Qingqian sat down opposite He Yunxiao and said, "Mr. He, what do you want to say? Tell me now."
After failing to get close to him, He Yunxiao scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Miss Li, you know I'm doing business, right? The Daqi Bank."
Meng Qingqian was naturally well-informed, "I know, but it seems that the girl from the Du family is in charge recently. What bank do you want?"
He Yunxiao said, "Yes, that's what I want to say. I plan to, um... ask you for help... You know, we businessmen always have inconvenient times..."
Meng Qingqian looked at He Yunxiao suspiciously, "You want to borrow money again?"
He Yunxiao smiled and said, "That's not the case. Here." He Yunxiao took out a silver note of 10,000 taels and handed it to Meng Qingqian. "I lent you money last time, and now I'm returning it to you."
Meng Qingqian looked at He Yunxiao in surprise.
You know, it hasn't been a few days since she lent money to He Yunxiao last time. As a result, He Yunxiao earned 10,000 taels in a few days and returned it to her. This efficiency of making money was incredible.
Meng Qingqian looked up at He Yunxiao, trying to find out his lack of confidence from his expression and actions. As a result, He Yunxiao was quite confident, and he gave the money very steadily, without any signs of reluctance.
On the contrary, after He Yunxiao broke her defense, she felt an unbearable shyness and shame in her heart after looking into his eyes for a short time. Her heartbeat accelerated, her breathing quickened, and the blood flowed to her pretty face, and a trace of blush gradually appeared on her cheeks.
Meng Qingqian was not convinced. Usually, she used her eyes to intimidate others. How could she be easily defeated by He Yunxiao now?
After holding on for a while, Meng Qingqian admitted defeat pragmatically.
Because if she didn't admit defeat, her pretty face would blush again, which was even more outrageous.
Meng Qingqian had to comfort herself: It doesn't matter if she can't beat He Yunxiao. Anyway, she has Lingdang, and his life is in her hands.
He Yunxiao looked puzzled.
What's wrong with the antidote today? It's weird. Did I take the wrong medicine?
"Miss Li, do you still want this money?"
"Yes!" Meng Qingqian said loudly, and took the silver that He Yunxiao returned to her into her arms.
The topic returned to the Daqi Bank. He Yunxiao cleared his throat and continued: "Miss Li, let me continue. I want to ask, what plans does your cousin Meng Qingqian have for the future?"
Meng Qingqian: "Plans?"
"Yes. It's related to national affairs. For example, attacking the Yan State, or building a new post road, or building a new canal, etc."
As it concerns national affairs, Meng Qingqian immediately became serious.
"He Yunxiao, your Daqi Bank wants to interfere in politics?"
