Chapter 16 Robbery
Su Jin plans to use the whip the Emperor gifted her as collateral with Xie Jingchen, but now Xingxing lights a candle, and the whole mood changes, making it feel like she’s selling herself for a loan.
She just casually asked a question, does this little Maid need to be so dedicated?
Su Jin was in tears.
Xie Jingchen held the whip in one hand and the candle in the other, looking at Su Jin, he said, "With a whip and a candle, what do you intend to do?"
He asked very seriously, and Su Jin replied, "Nothing!"
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed the candle back, casually throwing it out the window.
Two candles, one got thrown out, while the other hit the window frame and bounced back.
Xie Jingchen eyed the distance between the desk and the window. It was so close, yet she couldn’t throw it out; this aim... he didn’t doubt at all Su Jin would hit him on the back, ending up injuring his head.
But he didn’t believe it was nothing; the faint embarrassment on her face couldn’t escape his eyes. He grew more curious about the intention of putting the candle and whip together.
Taking a deep breath, Su Jin pointed at the whip and said, "I’ll pawn this whip to you, you help Dongxiang Marquis Mansion pay off the debt, and I’ll pay you back with interest. Then you loan me some more money."
Xie Jingchen put down the whip and said, "I don’t need the whip. Thirty thousand taels are your consultation fee."
