After counting three thousand taels and handing it to Lu Li, Nan Ke's voice was gentle as he said, "I'll have to trouble Miss to make a trip with me."
Lu Li already had a good impression of Nan Ke. Seeing Nan Ke so courteous, she hurriedly replied, "Young master is too courteous."
Although Lu Li wasn't clear on the cause and effect, the previous Jiujiu's unruly and rude appearance overlapped with the previous Yang Xuan. Furthermore, Nan Ke's appearance was gentle. Even to her, he was especially courteous. At a glance, she could tell that he was a reasonable person. Therefore, even though she wasn't clear on what had happened between Jiujiu and Nan Ke, Lu Li felt that this matter was definitely caused by Jiujiu's rudeness.
After all, Jiujiu's reputation was out there, and Nan Ke, no matter how she looked at him, was a gentle young master.
Furthermore, when he bought the purple jade flute, she was also present. Although the purple jade flute was expensive, it wasn't expensive to the point of three thousand taels. Jiujiu's words were three thousand taels. This was simply extortion.
Furthermore, Lu Li slightly raised her head. Seeing Nan Ke casually take out three thousand taels without revealing a trace of heartache, her thoughts became active again.
Even a first rank official would have to go without food or drink for several decades to take out three thousand taels. However, Nan Ke could casually take out three thousand taels with a normal expression. It could be seen that his family background wasn't weak.
Lu Li's originally five points of satisfaction instantly increased by eight points. However, Jiujiu was still waiting downstairs. Lu Li didn't dare to make Jiujiu wait any longer. After saluting Nan Ke, she quickly walked downstairs.
Nan Ke followed with large strides, only to see a silk handkerchief slowly fall to the ground in Lu Li's hurried footsteps. Nan Ke stepped forward and picked up the silk handkerchief, unfolding it. On the silk handkerchief was embroidered a tender pink lotus. In the corner, two small characters were embroidered: Lu Li.
Nan Ke brought the silk handkerchief to the tip of his nose. A faint lotus fragrance wafted over, refreshing the mind.
Hearing the messy footsteps behind her, Jiujiu turned her head to see Lu Li hastily walk down. When she saw her, she hurriedly handed the banknotes in her hand to her.
Jiujiu casually rolled up the banknotes and handed them to Shi Wu, who had come out of nowhere. She pointed to the chef standing behind her with a small bundle and said to Shi Wu, "Give him a thousand taels, go back."
Fifteen took out a thousand taels of silver from the banknote and handed it to the chef who made the desserts. Then, he left with Jiujiu.
That chef was actually a distant relative of Bi Yun's boss. Otherwise, Bi Yun's boss wouldn't spend so much money just to make better desserts.

. But because he knew Jiujiu's character, he had no choice but to go. He didn't know if he could come back alive, but if he didn't go, he definitely wouldn't live.
However, now that Jiujiu had given him a thousand taels of silver, his initial reluctance and reluctance had instantly turned into joy. With a thousand taels of silver, he would even be willing to give up his life, much less just making pastries.
Lu Li followed behind Jiujiu onto the carriage. Although she was on the carriage, her mind was already on Nan Ke.
Lu Li didn't know what was going on. It was clearly the first time she met Nan Ke, but she felt like they had known each other for a long time. This feeling came too quickly. She couldn't help but keep thinking about Nan Ke. She couldn't help but think about the details of their interactions.
After Lu Li got on the carriage, Jiujiu kept observing Lu Li. Lu Li had watery eyes and peachy cheeks. Her cherry lips were tightly pursed. Her small hands kept twisting her sleeves. The cloth on her sleeves was almost torn by her. It could be seen how tangled her heart was.
Jiujiu knew that as long as she gave Lu Li and Nan Ke a chance, they would definitely hook up. But she didn't expect the two to hook up so quickly. Lu Li's face was full of love. It was really unexpected.
Jiujiu grabbed a strand of hair from her ear and twirled it around her finger. She pretended to ask casually: "Is it very hot? Why are you blushing like this? "
Before Jiujiu spoke, Lu Li had been thinking about Nan Ke. Jiujiu's voice was no doubt like muffled thunder. Lu Li's mind shook. She quickly lowered her head and denied: "No, no. Maybe it's because it was too cold just now and too hot now."
"Is that so?" Jiujiu's soft hair twirled around her fingertips. She pursed her lips and laughed softly: "I thought you liked that man."
As soon as Jiujiu spoke, Lu Li immediately raised her head to look at Jiujiu. But she saw that Jiujiu only lowered her head and played with her hair. Her expression was casual as if she had said it casually. Only then did Lu Li's tense heart relax. But she quickly expressed her loyalty with words: "This servant won't marry. This servant will serve the princess for the rest of her life."
"Silly Lu Li, how can there be a woman who won't marry in this world? You're not me. If you don't want to marry, you can choose not to. When you're older, even if you don't want to marry, you'll be assigned. Rather than being assigned to a man in the manor, it's better to find someone you like while you're young."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she sighed and said in a casual tone: "If it weren't for Lu Li's low status, I would have assigned you to Fifteen."
Although Fifteen was a secret guard, Lu Li didn't know. She always thought that Fifteen was just a guard who played with Jiujiu. In Lu Li's heart, although she was a servant, she was the princess' servant. Her status was definitely much higher than that of an ordinary servant. But now, Jiujiu directly said that her status was low, even lower than Fifteen. How could the extremely arrogant Lu Li not be angry?
Lu Li pursed her lips and didn't say anything, but her eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
She kept repeating in her heart that she wasn't a servant. She wasn't a servant.
Although she kept repeating in her heart, Nan Ke's figure once again appeared in Lu Li's mind.
Lu Li had served by Yang Xuan's side since she was young. Yang Xuan's temperament was perverse. If there was any slight discomfort, she would directly use a whip to serve. Lu Li was able to serve Yang Xuan from when she was young until now. It could be seen that Lu Li's ability to observe people's expressions was very high. Although she had only interacted with Nan Ke for a few short minutes, Lu Li could feel that Nan Ke had a good impression of her.
Rather than finding a random man and sending her away, it was better to do as Jiujiu said and find someone she liked.
And now, Nan Ke was the last life-saving straw in Lu Li's heart.
When they arrived at the manor, Jiujiu had Fifteen take the chef away. She had Wan Niang and Lu Li stay by her side to serve her.
After receiving Jiujiu's orders, Wan Niang had been watching Lu Li without blinking. Because Lu Li was thinking about Nan Ke, she didn't notice that Wan Niang had been secretly watching her.
For three days in a row, Jiujiu had Lu Li by her side to serve her. If it was a few days ago, Lu Li would have been especially happy that Jiujiu was willing to get close to her. But now, because Jiujiu had said that her status was inferior, she already harbored resentment towards Jiujiu. Moreover, because she was thinking about the matter with Nan Ke, she was even less in the mood to serve Jiujiu. Even her words seemed a bit perfunctory.
But these days, Jiujiu especially liked to serve Lu Li, to the point that Lu Li was a bit restless.
