Chu Qingxuan: "???"

Dongfang Hao is so sure? Doesn't he even look at this guy's face?

Before anyone could react, Dongfang Hao and his men had already left Chu Qingxuan's room in a grand procession.

Liu's mother followed behind.

"Please take care, sir!"

Come again!

As Chu Qingxuan was closing the door, Liu's mother stopped her, glaring at her fiercely, "Get out of the way."

Chu Qingxuan stepped aside to let Liu's mother in, and then closed the door.

After Liu's mother walked in, she went straight to the bedside, pulled back the covers, and yelled in a shrill voice, "Get up, you old hag!"

They said they wouldn't accept customers, but now they are!

Yue Jinyun huddled at the head of the bed, trembling. Were all the people at Baihualou this terrifying?

Upon seeing Yue Jinyun on the bed, Liu's mother pointed at Chu Qingxuan and began to scold her.

Finally, she pointed at Chu Qingxuan and said, "You'll start taking customers tomorrow."

Chu Qingxuan asked, "Why?"

Mrs. Liu said, "You've already been taking customers, so tell me why?"

Chu Qingxuan chuckled and said leisurely, arms crossed, "Aunt Liu, after all these years at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, can't you tell the difference between men and women anymore?"

Liu's mother was stunned for a moment, staring at Yue Jinyun, looking her up and down, and finally pointing at Yue Jinyun while looking at Chu Qingxuan.

"You, you, you..."

Chu Qingxuan tilted her head and smiled, "It's just as you think."

Mother Liu said, "Are you crazy! She's someone General Dongfang has wanted. If he finds out, we're both finished!"

Chu Qingxuan sat leisurely on the stool, glanced at Yue Jinyun who was getting dressed, and said, "He just didn't notice, did he?"

Liu's mother: "..."

She was furious with Chu Qingxuan!

Liu's mother paced back and forth in the room. Finally, she said to Chu Qingxuan, "I don't care, she must leave Baihualou immediately!"

Chu Qingxuan raised an eyebrow. "Of course."

"Hurry up!" Liu's mother urged.

"Then, Aunt Liu, you should go ahead with your work. As for her matter, I will see her off."

Liu's mother snorted and left Chu Qingxuan's room.

Chu Qingxuan looked at Yue Jinyun, who had already finished packing. Yue Jinyun looked at Chu Qingxuan awkwardly and whispered, "Thank you."

Chu Qingxuan sized up Yue Jinyun. Yue Jinyun spoke very softly, unlike what the system described as sunny and cheerful.

Feeling a chill run down her spine from Chu Qingxuan's gaze, Yue Jinyun said, "My name is Yue Jinyun. You helped me today, so you can bring this to the Yue residence to find me and say that you saved me."

Yue Jinyun took out the jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to Chu Qingxuan.

Chu Qingxuan examined the jade pendant; it was exquisitely crafted and featured lifelike peony flowers.

After placing the jade pendant on the table, Chu Qingxuan looked at Yue Jinyun and asked, "Yue Qinghua's daughter?"

Yue Jinyun looked surprised, confirming Chu Qingxuan's words.

Chu Qingxuan said, "If I remember correctly, the Yue family is preparing to marry off their daughter these days. Shouldn't you be preparing to get married?"

"I……"

"Moreover, you brought a bag with you, which means you ran away from home."

Yue Jinyun: "..."

"You ran away from your wedding?"

Yue Jinyun: "..."

Why reveal all the old secrets?

Chu Qingxuan smiled and said, "Not long after you left the Yue residence, you were discovered. In a panic, you ran to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. The royal family found out and sent people to look for you."

Yue Jinyun nodded. "That's how it is."
