Regarding the misunderstanding of lying on Ye Li's bed instead of escaping during the chaos, Nuonuo spoke at length but still couldn't clarify the situation.
After she woke up, not only did the signs of poisoning vanish without a trace, but even that advertisement had turned into a blank sheet of paper.
Ye Li firmly insisted that everything Nuonuo said was merely an excuse to get close to him.
Nuonuo wanted to cry but had no tears; who told her to get so invested, holding onto a love letter in her hand, leaving her completely unable to deny his extremely narcissistic delusion.
Ye Li said that at that time he was competing in internal martial arts with the leaders of various sects, and it was Nuonuo's appearance that caused him to lose the match.
In the martial arts world, rankings equate to business, and Night Shard Manor's revenue is expected to drop by at least fifty percent next year.
In the end, what he keeps saying boils down to two words: losing money.
Who quietly practices their internal skills in the dark without a word?
Nuonuo was screaming internally, feeling helpless. With tears in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, "Can I pay with my body?" If it weren't for her reckless shopping that had drained her family's fortune, she wouldn't have to earn money through such dangerous and exhausting means.
Ye Li looked at her with clear disdain. "I don't want your body. If you don't have money, then help me earn some!"
Recently, there have been rumors that a fool has come to town, offering high prices for black charcoal.
In previous years, the palace mostly required silver charcoal, and cheap black charcoal was abundant. Upon hearing the news, the charcoal sellers quickly sold their black charcoal to that fool.
But who would have thought that later on, news spread in the palace that the newly favored consort had a liking for black charcoal.
The shopkeepers were filled with regret and exchanged two pounds of silver charcoal for one pound of black charcoal from the fool.
Once the shopkeeper left, Nuonuo, disguised as a man, smiled triumphantly at Ye Li: "Alright, now you are the only one with silver charcoal. If you sell it to the palace at a high price, you could easily get back not just fifty percent, but even a hundred percent. Can I be released now?"
In fact, she had made a small profit on the side. Once she left this place, she would go into hiding to avoid any potential revenge from Ye Li if he ever discovered that the small advertisement was indeed harmful.
Ye Li glanced at the piles of silver charcoal without a second thought, focusing solely on Nuonuo. "Is that really how you want to leave me?"
She would have to explain it several times before he would believe that she wasn't just after his affection!
She let out a helpless dry laugh and said, "You have countless admirers, just let me go!"
Ye Li remained silent, and Nuonuo took his silence as consent and immediately ran away.
As she stepped out the door, she seemed to hear a soft sigh and couldn't help but glance back. Ye Li was still standing in place, staring at her without moving.
She quickly turned back, trying to calm her racing heart: "No matter how much you like him, don't be soft-hearted. He is not someone you can afford."
Nuonuo held banknotes in her arms and couldn't help but feel a strong urge to shop as she saw the jewelry and clothes lining the streets.
After leaving Ye Li, it felt as if a piece of her heart had been taken away, leaving a void.
Empty.
Maybe "buy, buy, buy" can fill the hole in her heart, she thought.
Why do the things at today's market seem like they were specially designed for her?
Look, that exquisite hairpin is something she's been thinking about for a long time; and this gold medal watercolor, using it will definitely increase her attractiveness by thirty percent.
Her rationality was slowly engulfed by the three words "buy, buy, buy," and she used both hands to joyfully buy from one end of the street to the other.
When she came to her senses, she found herself holding a pile of useless things, her money had ended up in someone else's hands, and she was left with a pile of debt.
The shopkeepers were shouting, pulling the bewildered Nuonuo to see the officials.
At that moment, Ye Li's carriage passed by her in an extremely ostentatious manner.
Nuonuo Like seeing a savior, shouting at the top of my lungs, "As long as you save me, I'll do anything!"
The car immediately stopped.
Ye Li lifted the curtain and walked down slowly.
He caught a glimpse of the shopkeeper of the spiritual tool shop gripping Nuonuo's hand. His gaze turned cold, causing the shopkeeper to shiver and quickly release his grip.
Nuonuo rushed towards Ye Li, her eyes filled with panic, looking as if she was about to cry.
Ye Li naturally caught her, frowning as he pinched her chin to examine the bruises left on her face from the struggle. "How did you get into such a mess in just a short while?"
He threw down a stack of silver bills, stuffed her into the carriage, turned around and swept a cold, murderous gaze over the cowering shopkeepers, and then left in a hurry.
