Pei Lang hesitated for a moment before raising his cup. There was a strange feeling in his heart. To drink with one's own student in a restaurant … His heart was somewhat hot.
"I wish Mister's future bright and boundless prospects." Shen Miao smiled as she drank the wine in one gulp. She drank it very quickly and a trace of wine flowed out from the corner of her mouth, across her slightly pointed chin and into her white collar.
Pei Lang looked away. No matter how beautiful a budding young female was, she was still young and inexperienced. Especially Shen Miao, this kind of gentle and delicate beauty, she was dignified and reserved. Pei Lang was not a person who loved beauty but for a moment, his mind was in a mess as he felt that this was not right and out of place.
A trace of carefreeness flashed in Shen Miao's eyes.
Most likely it was because she drank the wine that some hidden emotions in her heart came out like a sin. She remembered that Pei Lang had a dignified and solemn appearance and was most particular about reason. In front of Pei Lang, she vividly interpreted the four words' motherly model of the world 'but at the end she was still defeated by Pei Lang's pros and cons.
That was the Imperial Tutor who could decide Fu Ming's life and death in the previous lifetime but now she was holding onto his weak spot. In front of Pei Lang, she had the bearing of an Empress and could not even cry for Wan Yu. Now … She did not have the dignity of an Empress and did not have the virtues of a woman. She dressed up as a male, went to a brothel and drank with a teacher. Her actions were frivolous and unrestrained. What could Pei Lang do?
He also could not do anything to her.
But that carefreeness was only for a short moment.
When Pei Lang agreed, she knew that there was no need to continue pestering him.
The flirtatious look that was caused by the wine faded away and inch by inch she became sober. She stood up and lifted her chin slightly, returning to that slightly dignified Shen Miao.
"After Young Lady Liu Ying has settled down, one will inform Mister of the location of the embroidery workshop." Shen Miao nodded her head, "The money has already been paid. Mister please drink slowly. One cannot often drink the wine of the Lu."
One did not know if the last sentence was sarcasm or politeness, but it made Pei Lang's brows slightly wrinkled as he watched Shen Miao leave with a few people.
He picked up the wine and drank a mouthful. It should be a mellow wine but it was surprisingly astringent in his mouth.
Walking out of the door, Jing Zhe and Gu Yu did not dare to speak as both of them could see that Shen Miao was not in a good mood at the moment. Pei Lang's words made them confused in the clouds and sensitively felt that this matter was not a small matter thus they did not dare to speak easily.
When the cold wind blew, the blush on her face dissipated. Shen Miao closed her eyes and when she opened them again, there was only coldness in her eyes.
As for Pei Lang, she still held a grudge against him for standing idly by the side. No matter how hard she tried to hide it, it still leaked out a little.
However, his goal was achieved.
"Let's go back." She walked towards the carriage.
…
In another hidden room adjacent to Kuai Huo Lou, the few people in the room were all silent.
Just now he had seen a good show. At first he thought it was full of fun, but now that the person had left, the tea had cooled. Thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but feel astonished.
Ji Yu Shu swallowed his saliva and seemed to want to break this dull atmosphere, "It is really good to have a relationship with this building. At least it is more convenient to eavesdrop on the walls. Not only can one listen, one can also see. Haha, very good. "
At the back of the carved pillar, there was a huge coloured glass that was hidden by the thin railing. It was said that it was coloured glass that came from the Western Hemisphere. One end could not see this end but this end could see that end. In addition, there was a copper pillar that was full of small holes, so everything that was said could be heard clearly.
But when Ji Yu Shu finished speaking, the other two people in the room did not answer him. Gao Yang used his folding fan to support his chin, which was his usual appearance when he was thinking. Xie Jing Xing bent his elbow to support his head as he played with the teacup in his hands while thinking about something.
Unable to stand such an atmosphere, Ji Yu Shu opened his mouth, "Both of you do not remain silent. Isn't it just a matter of Prefectural Magistrate Pei's residence in the Lu province? Pei Lang is Prefectural Magistrate Pei's son!"
Shen Miao's story was easily told because she believed that Pei Lang could understand and the three people here were not fools so they understood after thinking about it.
The Lu province's sinner Prefectural Magistrate Pei had a pair of children. The older sister was Liu Ying and the younger brother was the current Pei Lang. During the escape, in order to protect Pei Lang, the Pei family arranged people to abandon Liu Ying and Liu Ying eventually fell into prostitution. And Pei Lang had already arranged a retreat route for the Pei family and turned into a Ding capital person. He lived here since young and was born into a merchant family. His parents passed away a few years ago and now he was alone.
His natural background was not discovered by anyone for many years.
However … Xie Jing Xing's lips lazily hooked up, "So how did she know about the details that Bai Xiao Sheng was unable to find out?"
At the end, his voice turned cold and his peach blossom eyes were filled with murderous intent.
