He didn't think a thousand taels was anything before because he would drink and dine with women outside and put it on his tab, so they could come to his mansion to collect it.
Now that I've personally handled a thousand taels of silver, the feeling is completely different.
Consequently, he found Rong Qingqing even more displeasing.
This dead woman, why does she look so much like a vampire?
It wasn't until Rong Qingqing left that he realized why he had so obediently handed over the silver.
He refused to believe that Chunyanlou would actually dare to make him a male prostitute!
Xie Jingxuan felt deeply that he had been deceived by Rong Qingqing.
Cunning woman!
He really underestimated her!
He angrily pounded the bed.
Meanwhile, Rong Qingqing had just come out of Jingming Garden when she ran into Steward Tian, who had come looking for her in a hurry.
"Madam, so you were here. I'm so glad to have you here."
"Is there something urgent, Steward Tian?" Rong Qingqing asked.
"It's the Marquis who wants to see you and asks you to come over," said Steward Tian.
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing felt a chill run down her spine. "What does he want with me?"
"It must be about the servants in the manor," Steward Tian replied.
Rong Qingqing frowned.
To be honest, she acted on her own initiative today without Xie Jingrun's consent, so now that he knows, he wants to settle accounts with her.
The thought of meeting that wolf cub made Rong Qingqing uneasy.
"I understand, but the people at Chunyanlou are still waiting. I'll go pay off the debts that Second Master owes first, and then I'll go over."
Steward Tian wanted to remind the Marquis that he didn't like waiting and that she should go over immediately, but she was somewhat surprised when she heard what the Marquis said.
"Second Master's spending spree is quite substantial."
Rong Qingqing waved the silver note in her hand and smiled, "It was given to me by the Second Master. He asked me to pay off his debts."
Butler Tian was very impressed upon hearing this.
The old lady was really amazing to be able to pry silver out of the second master.
Rong Qingqing gave the silver to the manager of Chunyanlou and watched him cross Xie Jingxuan's account out before having someone send him out.
After a busy day, Rong Qingqing wanted to drink some water, but thinking of Xie Jingrun who was still waiting for her, she dared not delay any longer and quickly asked Steward Tian to lead the way to his Qingxing Garden.
Despite having mentally prepared herself, Rong Qingqing was still a little apprehensive about facing Xie Jingrun again.
In addition, many of the things she did today were without his consent.
What if he gets angry and puts his embroidered spring knife to her neck again?
Qingxing Garden, just like Xie Jingrun himself, was filled with a somber atmosphere, cold and devoid of any human warmth.
As soon as Rong Qingqing stepped inside, she shivered.
The housekeeper escorted her to the gate of the courtyard and then ran off in a flash.
It's clear that he's also afraid of Xie Jingrun and avoids contact with him whenever possible.
Rong Qingqing rubbed her arms, looking at the huge courtyard, unsure of which way to go.
That housekeeper Tian is really something. At the very least, she should have given her directions before she ran off.
She thought for a moment and then walked toward the central reception room.
However, as soon as she took a step, a throwing knife flashed past her cheek like a shooting star.
She stood frozen in place, her heart pounding wildly.
Just a moment ago, she had a close call with death.
She didn't react for a long time.
"Rong Qingqing, how dare you make me wait for you? Don't you know how you're going to die?"
Xie Jingrun's voice, as sharp as a demon's, came from behind him.
Rong Qingqing's eyelashes fluttered, and she finally came to her senses.
She turned around abruptly, glaring angrily at the man behind her.
Thinking of the shock she had just experienced, she clenched her fists, intending to unleash a torrent of abuse on him. However, when she saw the sharp throwing knife Xie Jingrun was playing with, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, instantly bringing her to her senses.
