Most likely Mo Qing liked to take the money and stare blankly in the brothel.
Liu Ying also did not intend to chat with Mo Qing. This Mo Qing had come over so many times but he never spoke a word to her. If it was not that he would speak to the young lady downstairs, Liu Ying would think that Mo Qing was a mute.
But today, Mo Qing had spoken to her for the first time. Mo Qing said, "It is not me."
She was too surprised that Liu Ying could only stare at him, "Ah?"
"The one who gave you the money is not me." Mo Qing said.
Liu Ying was puzzled, "What money?"
"My Master wants me to come here every three days to look for you and give you the money and do nothing."
This was most likely the longest sentence that Mo Qing had said since he came to Bao Xiang Lou but when the words were spoken, Liu Ying's eyes suddenly became vigilant. She stood up, "Who is your Master?"
Mo Qing shook his head, "Cannot say."
"You!" Liu Ying glared at him.
"Master said that after a few more days, she will come and see you." Mo Qing said, "Do not receive other guests for the time being."
Liu Ying smiled, "Eldest Brother, I do not know who your Master is and do not know what he wants to do but I am a young lady of Bao Xiang Lou and now that the economy is so bad, I am not the top card that was just made famous. If I do not receive other guests, what would I eat or drink? You will support me!"
Mo Qing did not say anything.
Seeing that Mo Qing did not say anything, Liu Ying became even angrier and a nameless fire rose in her heart. At this time, no matter if it was sincere or not, other males would still say a few comforting words, "I will support you." Even if it was to deceive others, no one would take anyone's words seriously in the brothel. This Mo Qing was good, he was simply a blockhead and loved to be serious, not even willing to say a few good words to deceive others. Once he got angry, he wanted to coax others but just as he opened his mouth, Liu Ying became silent again. Mo Qing was indeed not a person in the brothel and he himself said that he was only acting on his Master's orders. Thinking of this, she felt that it was meaningless to ask him about these things.
Mo Qing saw Liu Ying's expression changing and was somewhat baffled. He hesitated for a moment before saying the words that Shen Miao did not instruct him to say. He said, "My master is a good person, you … don't be afraid."
Liu Ying was surprised for a moment and looked at Mo Qing, but Mo Qing lowered his head to drink his tea. Inexplicably, Liu Ying's mood became better and she said, "Why should I believe you?"
Mo Qing, "…"
…
That night, there were no stars and no moon. Shen Miao stayed in Luo Xue Yan's room and chatted with Luo Xue Yan before preparing to return to her courtyard. On the way, Jing Zhe told Shen Miao about the news that she had inquired during the day, "Young Lady, one heard that the Jing family will set off for SuZhou this afternoon and before leaving, they took away all the valuable furnishings in Rong Jing Tang's side courtyard. This is really like a robber's action. Old Furen was so angry that she almost had a stroke again."
This "stroke again" was said with a hint of mockery. Everyone knew that when Old Shen Furen was flustered and exasperated, she would involuntarily have a 'stroke'. But now it could be considered that she had met her match. The shameless one had met an even more shameless one. Speaking of which, one really admired the Jing family's face. To be able to take away Rong Jing Tang's things with such ease, it was really strange to the extreme.
"One did not think that the Jing family would speak in such a dignified manner and solemnly vow to seek an explanation for Biao Young Lady, but now they returned to SuZhou with their tails between their legs, so Biao Young Lady did not care. Knowing that Biao Young Lady would not have a good ending in the Sun family, but did not think of any way at all. Originally they said it so ruthlessly, but it was only to ask for more money. "Jing Zhe said.
"Commoners do not fight with officials." Shen Miao's lips slightly hooked up, "One think that the Jing family also know that they have caused a big disaster."
"Not a good person." Jing Zhe's lips twitched.
Shen Miao declined to comment. The Jing family rushed back to SuZhou through the night, but how could they rush back in time? Sun Tian Zheng was not a soft persimmon. Initially when Shen Qiu had an accident, Jing Chu Chu escaped but the rest of the Jing family did not escape. Sun Tian Zheng was never a soft-hearted person, so no one knew what happened on the way back to SuZhou.
Just as they walked to the courtyard, Shen Miao was about to push the door open to enter when she suddenly paused and swept a glance at the window.
"Jing Zhe." Shen Miao said, "Go and boil the water first. I want to bathe. Make it hotter."
Jing Zhe was startled for a moment before nodding her head in agreement. Shen Miao pushed the door open and walked in. She walked past the outer hall, past the folding screen and walked into her own boudoir before closing the door.
The light of the oil lamp swayed slightly, and one could see a person sitting crookedly in front of the table. His robe seemed to be flowing dark gold, making the darkness in the room shine brightly. He propped his head up with one hand and the other hand was flipping through the books on Shen Miao's table in boredom. When he heard movement, he casually turned his head and revealed a handsome face with red lips and white teeth.
"Why did you return so late?" Xie Jing Xing was somewhat dissatisfied.
"I did not seem to have invited you." Shen Miao looked at him calmly, "Little Marquis Xie."
"I waited for you for a long time." Xie Jing Xing raised his eyebrows, "I am already hungry."
Shen Miao said, "Get lost."
