Her backer was Second Master Jing. Looking at the entire Beiping, and even places outside of the six southern provinces, who would dare to touch her?
… …
The streets of Beiping were unusually lively today.
The sun was high in the sky, passing through the steam rising from the steamed dumplings. At a glance, it was the bustling Beiping, and behind it was the grand and solemn old imperial palace.
The pedestrians on the streets were wearing plain washed gowns, and most of them were light blue, light brown, or black. Most of them didn't like too bright colors, probably because the country was in a state of war.
Passing through the peddlers' shouts, there was the sound of cars honking from time to time on the streets.
In today's Beiping, although cars weren't as common as they used to be, the rich businessmen all had their own cars.
The exhaust from the cars was steaming, mixed with smoke. The pedestrians would raise their hands and cover their noses and mouths with their sleeves.
After the cars left, if you occasionally passed by the bustling streets of Beiping, you might see a few music restaurants with a Western flavor. The melodious and elegant sound of a violin could also be mixed with the sweet and charming voice of a woman from a phonograph.
Usually, there would be a few men pulling rickshaws in front of a restaurant or a store that looked expensive and rich. They were around 15 to 40 years old. There was a towel that had been washed to the point that it couldn't be any whiter on his shoulder. He was wearing a black felt hat and was chatting with his partner next to him.
At this time, there were no televisions, so they were all gossiping with their companions while waiting to solicit customers.
Of course, today they were talking about the Beiping warlord Second Master Jing and the Beiping actress Shen Wanqing's love affair.
Sometimes, it wasn't necessary to buy newspapers to understand the situation. Gossiping was the best shortcut.
Along the way, Li Shijin heard many people mention the two words Shen Wanqing and Second Master Jing. The little boy who sold newspapers was carrying a gray cloth bag in front of him, holding a newspaper in his hand and shouting all over the street — —
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm selling newspapers! Today's headlines — Beiping's ruthless warlord and Beijing's famous actress are actually backers! Breaking news!! Beijing's famous actress Shen Wanqing is Second Master Jing's mistress! Don't miss this opportunity! "
Li Shijin couldn't help but shout at the little boy in front of him.
"Come here and buy a newspaper!"
The little boy who sold newspapers turned around and ran over with his short legs. His face was red from running and there was sweat on his nose.
The little boy who was selling newspapers smiled and said, "Young master, newspapers are ten copper coins per copy."
Li Shijin handed over the ten copper coins. The little boy took it and put the ten copper coins back into his pocket. He then quickly handed a new newspaper to Li Shijin.
The boy took the rest of the newspapers and said with a smile, "Young master, you're welcome to buy newspapers next time!" With that, the boy left.
Li Shijin lowered his head and carefully flipped through the newspaper in his hand.
There was no need to look for the news about Jing Yanxiu and Shen Wanqing, because the two of them were in the middle of the headlines. There was even a photo of Jing Yanxiu holding onto Shen Wanqing's waist as they walked out of Autumn Pavilion.
After reading the news, Li Shijin had mixed feelings. Miss Shen was already living in the Commander's Mansion …

"Bang!"
In the room.
First Madam put the newspaper on the table unhappily and slammed the table with her slender hand covered in red cardamom.
