Chapter 142: Lan Er sympathizes with Li Xin; Zha Qi owes gambling debts
Li Xin lowered her head and refuted whatever unpleasant words she said.
Lian Ye stomped her feet in anger, reached out and pinched Li Xin's arm, finally venting her anger.
Li Xin returned to her room crying. She rolled up her sleeves and saw her skin was purple from being pinched by the lotus leaves.
"Ah, Sister Li Xin, what's wrong with you? You're all swollen. Did you make the master unhappy?" Lan'er walked in and couldn't help but feel sympathy when she saw her sadness.
Li Xin shook her head: "It's Lian Ye, she doesn't let me serve the master."
Lan'er sighed: "Lian Ye knows how to make the master happy. Even my dowry from the Yu family cannot compare to her. You have suffered." She said as she applied medicine to Li Xin.
"Sister Lan'er, are you willing?"
Lan'er's expression was indifferent: "So what if I'm unwilling? I left home and came to this unfamiliar palace. This is how I'll spend my life."
A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. She was missing her relatives who were far away in the Yu family.
Li Xin held her hand and said, "As long as we live, we will definitely meet again one day."
Lan Er nodded: "Okay, let's go out quickly, otherwise Lian Ye will get angry again."
In the study of Nara Mansion, Neri was writing furiously and studying hard.
Although Lang Jia felt distressed when she saw this, she knew that she couldn't disturb him.
Nerbu did not die in this life because of helping Emperor Qianlong control floods.
"Master, Neli has completely changed since he received the letter from the Imperial Concubine."
Nerbu nodded: "That's good, at least she has someone in the court to support her."
Lang Jia sighed again: "Oh, I don't know whether this is good or bad. If my daughter really becomes the queen, I will be very worried."
Nerbu held her hand and said, "Don't worry, with Nerli and I helping her, we will never let our daughter suffer any injustice."
Lang Jia was still very nervous. How could she not know what kind of person her daughter was?
"I'm afraid of Ruyi's character. She's too straightforward. I've reminded her many times, but it's hard to change. Just look at how the late Empress disobeyed the Emperor and was despised. I'm afraid she'll follow in his footsteps."
Nerbu was silent for a long time before he said, "Don't worry. I've noticed that she has become much more stable since she gave birth to the twins. She will definitely not follow in the footsteps of the late queen as you said."
"hope so."

Zhaqi has lost ten games in a row and his wallet is empty.
The gambling house owner, holding the account book behind him, reminded him, "You owe me three hundred taels, and with the interest compounded, you have to pay back five hundred and fifty taels now. If you can't pay it today, don't blame us for turning our backs on you."
Zhaqi immediately broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. He eagerly poured tea for his boss and said, "Boss, please give me a few days, just a few days. My aunt is the Concubine Yu in the palace! She has plenty of money, but you have to give me a few days to ask for it."
When the boss heard this, he said, "Okay, someone follow him to get the money."
Wei Zuolu hid aside and put a lot of small change into his pocket while no one was paying attention.
Zhaqi: "Boss, you don't believe me? Well, I'll write you a written agreement and promise to return it to you."
The clerk immediately took out pen and ink and wrote down the receipt neatly. Only then did the boss let the man go.
Outside the gambling house, Zha Qi stopped Wei Zuolu and asked, "How's it going? How much did you steal?"
Wei Zuolu smiled mysteriously and shook his pockets, which made a lot of rustling sounds.
The two found a secret place and divided the money.
