The Mother's eyes lit up and suddenly snatched the banknotes from Mo Qing's hands. Fearing that he would regret, she smiled like a blossoming flower, "Since Little Older Brother likes it, it is the fortune of these two girls. This servant will go and bring their slave contracts over. But Little Older Brother must remember not to let others recognise these two girls otherwise if San Fu Ban would be in trouble, Little Older Brother would also invite trouble. "
One hundred taels of silver. Even in those better brothels, the young ladies who were sought after would not be able to sell for such a price. Even if Yan Mei and Shui Bi did not eat or drink until they died of old age, one fear that they would not be able to earn back even half of the money. The Mothers here were all doing business, so how could there be a reason to not want the money. But she was also worried that if it was known by others, especially the master who sold the two girls, she would be in trouble. Now she could only pretend that the two girls were dead.
When the Mother happily went to bring Yan Mei and Shui Bi out, Mo Qing was somewhat regretful. One hundred taels of silver was not a small sum of money and it was exchanged from Jing Zhe pawning an entire box of jewellery from Shen Miao. Now it was to redeem the two maids and it was just to plant an informant. Shen Miao's style was a little too big. Mo Qing thought about it but gently shook his head as his heart did not dare to agree.
At the opposite Kuai Huo Lou, the black clad person appeared in front of the window and said, "Master, it has been investigated clearly. That person is an outer courtyard guard of the Shen residence and the two girls that were bought were once the personal maids of the Di daughter of the Shen residence's Second household. It seems that someone wanted to plant an informant in the Second household and the person behind it is unknown."
To be able to clearly hear the conversation between Mo Qing, Yan Mei and Shui Bi, it was obvious that this person's skills were extremely high, else even Mo Qing would not be aware that he was being eavesdropped.
Gao Yang narrowed his eyes, "It seems that the Shen residence is not too peaceful. The person behind it did not even let off the maids. Tsk, it is too pervasive."
"Master, do you want to investigate that person?" The black clad person asked the purple clad youth.
"No need. I know who he is." Xie Jing Xing raised his eyebrows.
"You know?" Gao Yang looked at him, "Who is he?"
Who was he? Xie Jing Xing smiled and his eyes were somewhat deep. Shen Miao found a highly skilled guard. Even though it could not be compared to his subordinates, it was enough to deal with those people in the Shen residence. As for now, he did not even let off the little lass from San Fu Ban. It seemed that he intended to make a move.
However, none of this had anything to do with him.
"Shan Lang." Xie Jing Xing said, "Send a message to Yu Shu to quickly return to the capital."
"You …" Gao Yang's expression turned solemn. "It's not that they didn't find anything. Why did you call them back?"
"He who strikes first has the advantage," the young man said calmly.
…
As time passed, the General's Mansion seemed to have regained its former tranquility.
Shen Miao had been grounded for a long time and these days she did not go to Guang Wen Tang. Gu Yu and Jing Zhe were afraid that she would fall behind in her studies but she did not care about it. What was the use of learning those useless poems in Guang Wen Tang? It would be better to stay in the residence and cause less trouble.
If there was anything worth being happy about, it would be that Yan Mei and Shui Bi that Mo Qing had bribed finally met with their sisters. Shui Bi was still alright but Yan Mei's Younger Sister, Chun Tao, had always wanted to take revenge for her elder sister ever since she knew that Yan Mei was sold to a brothel. Unfortunately her status was low and she had the heart but not the strength. Now that she had met with Yan Mei and knew that her elder sister was fine, she promised Mo Qing without a second word that she would pass the message for Mo Qing. Coincidentally, after Yan Mei and Shui Bi left, the two personal maids by Shen Qing's side were empty. Ren Wan Yun saw that Chun Tao was clever and clever in doing things, so she gave Chun Tao to Shen Qing to be her personal maid. This way, it would be easier to grasp the movements of the Second household.
