"Really? Unfortunately, Granny Zhao has something to do and left in advance … I can't hand her over. I'd like to see how Miss Hua is going to deal with me. "Lu Xue decided to break up with Hua Xiangrong. Anyway, the Yi Cui House didn't need to be afraid of the Holy House.
Hua Xiangrong slightly frowned, and in her palm, a catching skill had been developed.
She was about to find out Granny Zhao, who had beaten Xin 'er, hiding in the dark.
But at this moment, a voice came.
"What are you doing here?" Liu Chenglong, the manager of the Musical House, came over surrounded by several leaders.
Everyone's face changed, and they all saluted to greet him.
Liu Chenglong's status in the Musical House could be described as that of an emperor, deciding the fate of many women. Even a manager like Lu Xue was just a nobody in front of him.
After asking about the matter, Liu Chenglong said lightly, "You dare to beat people and make trouble in the Top Beauty Competition. Are you deliberately trying to ruin my business? She's so daring. Come on, catch the old woman who beat people and sink her in the Rouge River. "
"No, no, no, I was wrong. Beat people, please forgive me, beat people, please forgive me …" Granny Zhao was hiding in the corner and sneering, but when she heard such words, she was scared to the point of paralysis. She knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy. She was not as arrogant and ruthless as when she beat Xin 'er.
However, in Liu Chenglong's eyes, killing an old woman was no different from crushing an ant.
How could he spare her?
Moreover, no one pleaded for her.
This old woman, who followed Lu Xue, was usually extremely domineering and mean. It was common for her to scold and punish the girls around her. She had made many enemies and was not popular.
A guard of the Musical House came over, directly stuffed the old woman into a sack, and dragged her away in the blink of an eye.
Lu Xue's mother of the Yi Cui House, as well as Lu Hongxiu, were suddenly scared and pale.
The manager clearly wanted to protect Hua Xiangrong.
Tonight, the wind was not in the right direction. It was like kicking an iron plate. It was terrible.
"Mrs. Lu, you are also a senior of the Musical House. How can you be so ignorant of the rules? At such a critical time, how can you allow your subordinates to provoke and make trouble? "Liu Chenglong looked over.
Lu Xue said with a pale face, "Milord, I … actually … I …"
"Well, when the meeting is over, go to the Holy House in person and apologize to Mrs. Bai," Liu Chenglong said lightly.
How could he not know what was going on? How could he not know what Lu Xue was thinking in her heart? How could he listen to her sophistry?
However, the second prince had tipped Lu Hongxiu 100,000 yuan before. Although his purpose at that time was to suppress Hua Xiangrong, Lu Hongxiu was, after all, a person whom the second prince had given face to, and he could not punish her at will. Therefore, Liu Chenglong did not blame Lu Xue too harshly for stirring up trouble.
Killing an old maid could be considered an explanation to Hua Xiangrong in public.
"Yes." Lu Xue could only pinch her nose and admit it.
Fortunately, there were no other scarier punishments.
"Disperse." Liu Chenglong waved his hand.
The people from the brothels who had gathered together immediately dispersed.
Everyone could see that the manager had already expressed his goodwill to Hua Xiangrong.
Many people looked at Hua Xiangrong with envy and jealousy. During this time, all the good things happened to Hua Xiangrong. First, she was favored by Li Mu, and then she amazed everyone in the Top Beauty Competition and got a record-breaking reward. Even Manager Liu thought highly of her.
She was really lucky.
The crowd dispersed.
Liu Chenglong did not leave.
"Milord." Hua Xiangrong slightly saluted.
Maid Xin 'er and the other four prostitutes of the Holy House did not dare to neglect and immediately respectfully saluted to the big shot who dominated the fate of tens of millions of women in the Musical House.
"Well, Miss Hua's dance and song have amazed the world. I have neglected it before, but I did not expect that there is such an immortal in the Musical House in Chang 'an." Liu Chenglong smiled.
"Milord, you flatter me." Hua Xiangrong said calmly.
If it were in the past, she would still feel quite anxious when she met the manager of the Musical House. But since she met Li Mu and experienced so many things, her mentality had already changed. So, when she faced Liu Chenglong again, she was calm and at ease.
"Miss Hua has amazing talent." Liu Chenglong said with a smile, "I didn't know that Miss Hua is also a warlock with profound cultivation."
"It's just a little skill, not worth mentioning. Milord, after this Top Beauty Competition, I want to redeem myself and Xin 'er. Please do me a favor, "Hua Xiangrong said. Hua Xiangrong said. She had planned to leave the Musical House a long time ago. But in order to repay Bai Xuan, she agreed to participate in this Top Beauty Competition and delayed it until now.
"Oh, about this … Let's talk about it after the Top Beauty Competition. However, it's generally more troublesome to remove the registration of the Musical House than that of the ordinary brothels. After all, it's required to go through official documents in the imperial court." Liu Chenglong did not give a definite answer and slightly hesitated.
Hua Xiangrong did not slightly frown, but there was a coldness like the cold moon flashing on her face.
She had practiced the Xiantian Skill, so her intuition was very sharp. She had already felt that the manager of the Musical House showed up this time with bad intentions.
In the past, Hua Xiangrong was a delicate flower blooming in the wind. She was beautiful, gentle, and delicate. It seemed that she always had a kind of fear about the unknown fate. Her beauty never carried any aggressiveness. She was like a gentle and virtuous lady from a respectable family who meekly accepted adversity. But now, Hua Xiangrong had completely changed.
This change was not only the change of temperament, but also the change of character. She was cold and distant, making people look up to her as if she were an otherworldly fairy. She gave people the feeling that she was a completely different person.
Even a figure like Liu Chenglong, when talking to Hua Xiangrong, would unconsciously think a little before saying it.
"As long as the official documents are passed, the procedure is not difficult, is it? The Musical House has always had a precedent of redeeming famous prostitutes. " Hua Xiangrong frowned and looked at Liu Chenglong, saying, "As long as manager Liu agrees, it is a matter of a word."
Liu Chenglong smiled and said, "Generally speaking, there is no problem, but I am afraid that some big shots are not willing … I can't really make a decision."
"Big shots?" Hua Xiangrong said.
"Yes … By the way, is it convenient for Miss Hua at this time? In the Moon-hugging House, there is a noble who wants to see Miss Hua. If the noble says so, it will be much easier for Miss Hua to get rid of the registration." Liu Chenglong took the opportunity to say.
Hua Xiangrong looked serious, shook her head, and said without thinking, "Your honor, please forgive me, I don't want to see outsiders."
The person who Liu Chenglong called a noble must be a great big shot, but she still chose to refuse without hesitation.
Because in her heart, there was a more important person.
Liu Chenglong was stunned, for he did not expect that Hua Xiangrong refused so directly, not giving him any face at all. He was a little angry, but he could not lose his temper. After all, she was a woman that the second prince liked. In the future, when she was with the second prince, she must be very favored. If he had a little pillow talk, it was not something he could bear.
"Miss Hua, please think about it again. This noble is not ordinary. In the Western Qin Empire, I am afraid there is nothing that he can't solve. The noble just wants to see Miss Hua, sit down and have a drink with her, and there will be no other things." Liu Chenglong patiently persuaded.
However, Hua Xiangrong just shook her head, with a firm attitude.
Liu Chenglong smiled, changed his mind, and said, "As far as I know, Young Master Li has also caused a lot of trouble recently. Although he is a peerless genius, after all, it is difficult for him to solve the problem alone. If this noble helps him, he will definitely be safe and sound."
This could be regarded as a lure.
Liu Chenglong, as a cunning man, could see through people's minds, and he knew what Hua Xiangrong cared about most at present. It was too easy to deal with a prostitute who was not experienced in the world. In terms of scheming and cunning, the two were not on the same level at all.
Hua Xiangrong was indeed a little tempted.
"If I can help Brother Mu, maybe I should consider it?"
"That noble … why does he want to see me?"
This was nonsense. What else could it be for? But asking it revealed the wavering in her heart.
Liu Chenglong's mind was clear, knowing that he had grasped Hua Xiangrong's mind, so he smiled and said, "Miss Hua, don't worry. I just admire Miss Hua's talent and knowledge, so I want to have a cup of tea and talk face to face." He tried to say it calmly, to dispel Hua Xiangrong's wariness.
However, things did not continue as he thought.
After thinking for a while, Hua Xiangrong suddenly changed her mind, and said very firmly, "Sorry, Your Honor, I will not go back."
Because she suddenly remembered what Brother Mu had said.
That day, when Yuan Wu of the Supervisory Department threatened her with the safety of Xin 'er, the maid, and the sisters in the Holy House, and she was almost set up, Li Mu later brought up the matter and earnestly told her that no matter what happened, the first thing she should do was to trust him and not doubt whether he could handle it or not. Also, she should not take matters into her own hands and solve them with the spirit of self-sacrifice. No matter what kind of trouble it was, she should tell him, and then the two of them could discuss and solve it together.
That was a kind of respect and also a kind of trust.
At the moment when Hua Xiangrong's will was shaken, she immediately remembered that sentence.
Yes, she should trust Brother Mu.
The most important thing for two people to get along was trust.
Brother Mu had said that more than once.
After saying that, Hua Xiangrong did not want to talk with Liu Chenglong anymore, so she directly turned around and went into the tent.
Liu Chenglong was stunned.
"What's going on?"
"She doesn't play by the rules."
Seeing this scene, several trusted leaders around him snorted and wanted to break into the tent to take her away, but Liu Chenglong waved his hand and stopped them.
