Chapter 298 Demonstration (4)

Shen Miao sighed, "Second brother is busy with court affairs all day long, how can he have time to see other girls?"

Jing Chuchu seemed to be thinking about something, so Shen Miao did not point it out. They talked for a while, and seeing that Chen Qiu and the others had no intention of stopping, it would be a bit strange for Jing Chuchu to stay any longer, so she left.

After Jing Chuchu left, Shen Qiu came over and looked at Shen Miao cautiously for a while before saying, “Sister, why are you acting so strange today?”

"What's wrong with me?" Shen Miao asked unhappily, "Brother, are you angry because I interrupted you from eating your cousin's cakes?"

"That's not what I meant." Shen Qiu's face flushed with anxiety, but he heard Shen Miao wave her hand nonchalantly and said, "Forget it, but you are at a good age now, and there are many girls looking at you. You must keep your eyes open when choosing a sister-in-law in the future."

Shen Qiu understood what was said, and he said helplessly: "Sister, what are you talking about? My cousin didn't mean that. She just came to give me some cakes."

"If you really like her, feel free to eat as much as you want." After saying this, Shen Miao left without looking back. This time when he came back, Shen Qiu had never seen Shen Miao lose her temper with him like this. He was shocked and actually watched Shen Miao walk away.

On the way back to the house, Guyu asked, "Miss, do you dislike your cousin? Otherwise, why would you be so angry?"

"Yes, I don't like it." Shen Miao rubbed her forehead. She really hated Jing Chuchu. For a man as proud as Shen Qiu, she had caused him to break his leg, wear a cuckold, and finally be thrown into prison for murder. This kind of vicious woman, she wanted to peel off Jing Chuchu's skin. But Shen Qiu was kind by nature, and she didn't know that people's hearts could be so cruel. Seeing that Shen Qiu was almost deceived by Jing Chuchu's appearance in this life, Shen Miao was furious.

“But didn’t the young lady tell your cousin about the second young master?” Guyu said, “Perhaps your cousin will turn her attention to the second young master in the future.” Shen Miao and Jing Chuchu had not deliberately avoided the maids in their casual conversation just now, and Guyu could also hear the meaning behind Shen Miao’s words.

Shen Miao shook her head: "She is not stupid. If she was persuaded by a few words from me, she would not be Jing Chuchu anymore." Shen Miao smiled slightly: "However, it is good to put some thought into it."

Several maids were a little puzzled, not understanding why Shen Miao treated this seemingly timid and weak cousin so seriously.

…

Baoxianglou was the largest den of illicit goods in Dingjing. If brothels were categorized into different classes, then Baoxianglou was undoubtedly the city's top-tier. Any girl among them could be the top prostitute in any ordinary brothel. They ranged in beauty, from the voluptuous to the slender, the bold and gentle, the charming and adorable, the innocent and charming. If you could imagine it, Baoxianglou had it all.

Therefore, the girls in Baoxianglou are the most expensive.

Pretty girls at the door were waving scented handkerchiefs to greet the guests. A man in armor walked in, which attracted a few more glances from the girls.

Those who could afford to visit Baoxianglou were either wealthy or noble, mostly sons of wealthy families or high-ranking officials. However, the man before him didn't seem to be from a wealthy family. His menacing aura caused the girls to retreat. Then, a middle-aged woman in red came out and smiled at him. "Mr. Mo, are you here again? Are you still looking for Liuying today?"

Mo Qing nodded, pulled out a silver note from his pocket and handed it to the other person. The woman received the note and smiled with satisfaction: "Young Master, please follow me in. I will take you upstairs. Liuying has been waiting for you these days."

Mo Qing suppressed his uneasiness and followed the man upstairs with a calm expression.
