Chapter 1036: Chapter 1041: Seems to Make Sense
Qiao Duo’er immediately stopped him, "Ke-kun, this is too valuable, I can’t accept it."
Fox furs have always been precious items; even with mixed and loose hairs, they could sell for One or Two Silver, and good-quality pelts are priceless.
And her family needed at least four or five complete fox furs for the two little ones.
Even with someone she was well acquainted with, she couldn’t accept such a gift.
"This is the New Year’s gift I am giving them. If you still feel embarrassed, then consider it the rent for me staying at your home," said Lu Kejun generously.
That was her nature, once she gave something away, she never took it back.
"Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and go!"
Lu Kejun urged the two to quickly find the fox furs.
The last day of this year was the twenty-ninth of the twelfth lunar month; the New Year was just five days away, and it would definitely be too late if they didn’t hurry.
They answered and left. White Fox and Silver Fox, one pure white and the other pure black, were rare in numbers, and those of good quality were even scarcer, making this task quite difficult.
Qiao Duo’er said with a pout, "It wasn’t much trouble having you at my home, why would you need that much rent?"
"Hmm, I have another favor to ask of you," Lu Kejun said mischievously as she winked.
If Qiao Duo’er could help her, let alone two pieces of fox fur, she wouldn’t mind even if it filled a whole carriage.
Qiao Duo’er nodded, "As long as it’s within my power, I will certainly help."
"I want to know about matters related to Luo Qingfeng," Lu Kejun said as she unconsciously hugged Green Group and pressed it against her face.
That way, even if her face turned red, Qiao Duo’er wouldn’t see it.
"Luo Qingfeng is a poor child; he was thrown into Medicine King Valley just after he was born. The Medicine King felt they were fated, so he took him in as a disciple. He’s quite knowledgeable about poisons and has often drifted outside these years, looking for his parents, but he has never found any news."
Qiao Duo’er shared everything she knew.
Lu Kejun spoke quietly, "Not that, I mean this." 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
She felt that Luo Qingfeng was always avoiding her; it was very likely that he was already married or engaged.
"Absolutely not, he just likes to be cheap with his mouth occasionally, other times he keeps his distance from women," Qiao Duo’er quirked an eyebrow.
"You said last time that he likes gentle girls?"
"Not exactly, but chasing him all over the place like you do now definitely won’t work. It’s best for everyone to sit down calmly and have a proper talk about how to resolve that matter."
Qiao Duo’er offered her advice; there were generally two methods: either get married or offer an apology and compensation for emotional distress.
Lu Kejun was not lacking in Silver, so the only viable option was the former.
"He definitely wouldn’t want to marry me," said Lu Kejun, lamenting.
The corners of Qiao Duo’er’s lips couldn’t help but curl up; she had guessed as much when Bai Yifan told her about it.
She didn’t expect the truth to come out so quickly, and moreover, it was an outright admission.
Lu Kejun cleared her throat, "Don’t misunderstand, I have to kill him to protect my honor. I was asking those questions so that I could know my enemy and ensure victory in every battle."
If he had a love interest, she would have another bargaining chip.
"Hmm, makes sense," Qiao Duo’er gave the girl face.
A young girl experiencing the bloom of early romance, it’s normal to be shy.
Lu Kejun pursed her lips; this Qiao Duo’er was a bit formidable, she decided it was better to play with the little ones.
But Green Group wouldn’t look at Lu Kejun; she went to grab a panda toy, the little fellow always waving the toy around, never allowing her to catch it.
After several unsuccessful attempts by Lu Kejun, Green Group began to laugh. In Lu Kejun’s eyes, this was nothing but barefaced mockery.
