At this moment, the man on the ground slowly woke up, clutching his head and crying out in pain.
The shopkeeper was delighted to see this and quickly tried to appease the man. At this time, the doctor who had been called arrived and, after a careful examination, said that it was just a superficial injury and nothing serious.
The boss was finally relieved. After paying another twenty taels of silver, he saw off the reluctant man, but his anger lingered.
Seeing the woman sobbing on the ground, the madam's anger surged even more.
"Take this slut into the dark room!"
One sentence made all the women freeze, their faces showing fear and apprehension, and none of them dared to plead for them.
The dark room was a room they created in the brothel to punish disobedient women. It was dark, damp, stuffy, and smelled of dead rats. It was disgusting.
The woman on the ground seemed to breathe a slight sigh of relief, adjusting the veil around her neck as the thugs dragged her away…
At the same time, the man with the head injury was carrying twenty taels of silver, humming a little tune happily, and his drunkenness had mostly dissipated!
"You little bitch, you dare to hurt me! You deserve it!"
Just as he was scolding her, he suddenly stopped, a look of confusion flashing across his face.
"Why do I feel like I've seen that woman before?"
He couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. Anyway, he hadn't spent much money today and even got twenty taels for free, so he definitely made a profit!
On the pitch-black night road, only the man walked slowly forward.
Grand Tutor's Mansion...
Qin Qing lay in bed unable to fall asleep. The thought of breaking her promise again made her feel unlucky!
What exactly did the old lady mean?
She tossed and turned, unaware of the dark figure that flashed past the doorway...
"Squeak~"
The window was opened, accompanied by a piercing sound, instantly catching Qin Qing's attention!
Before she could even look up in the darkness, a dark shadow noticed her movement and quickly rushed to the edge of the bed, startling Qin Qing so much that she opened her mouth to scream!
"Help... ugh..."
A large hand tightly covered her mouth, and in the dim moonlight, one could vaguely see the flash of terror in Qin Qing's suddenly widened eyes!
Shh! Be quiet, it's me!
Having said that, seeing that Qin Qing had stopped struggling, he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to let go when, in the next second!
"Ah~ Help!"
The man was stunned and frantically tried to cover her mouth, but Qin Qing grabbed the blanket and covered his head. Before he could react, a sharp pain shot through his shoulder, and he heard angry curses in his ears.
"You ambushed me? Huh? What are you trying to do, breaking into a girl's room at night? You filthy thief! You pervert! And you covered my mouth? It was you? Who the hell knows who you are! I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death!"
The man in the blanket immediately fell to the ground. Qin Qing angrily grabbed a stool from the side and smashed it over and over again!
The sound quickly attracted the attention of some people. The man on the ground came to his senses, enduring the pain and speechlessness all over his body, and quickly rolled to the side. It took him a lot of effort to break free from the blanket...
The moonlight streaming in through the window shone directly on the man's face. Qin Qing, who was about to swing the chair, froze. Although the man's hair was disheveled, his face was full of anger, his clothes were rumpled, and there was a hint of malice at the corner of his mouth...
He looked terrible, but she recognized his handsome and devilish face at a glance! Then Qin Qing looked at him hesitantly.
"Millions...?"
The man was furious when he realized she recognized him. He glared at her fiercely and was about to say something when a series of hurried footsteps came from outside…
"Aunt Qin? Are you still there? What happened?"
Upon hearing this, Qianbaiwan pointed his finger, indicating that they should be dispersed first. Qin Qing also quickly put down his chair, as if he had just woken up.
"Ah~ um, sorry, I just had a nightmare and then I sleepwalked, it's okay! You didn't go back, did you?"
The servants at the door were speechless upon hearing her words, and muttered something as they left.
"This commotion isn't just a nightmare, it's madness! Could it be because she's short of men? Wow! Women without men are terrifying!"
Qin Qing's face darkened upon hearing this, and she almost didn't recognize him and rushed out to beat him up!
After the room quieted down, Qin Qing sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Qian Baiwan in the chair, looking displeased.
"Don't blame me! Who told you to climb in through the window? I thought you were some flower thief, of course I overreacted. By the way, what are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? How did you know I was here? Were you following me the whole time?"
As she spoke, she suddenly stood up and looked at Qian Baiwan warily. What was this person after? Money? She had none. Status? She had none either. Not to mention position. So, all that was left was... the person?
Upon realizing this, she immediately opened her eyes wide, stepped back in horror, and trembled as she said incredulously.
"I...I'm almost forty! Although I'm beautiful, sexy, kind, virtuous, and charming, I'm already someone's grandmother, and I have several grandchildren. There's no future for us. You're still young, and relationships between older women and younger men don't end well. Isn't a young, tender girl better? Why bother with me?"
Qian Baiwan was rubbing his throbbing lip when he heard the woman's words. He was so angry that his lips twitched, and he pulled even harder!
"Hiss~ You! You really are... enough!"
Her whole face was contorted as she spoke. I never expected this woman to be so ruthless and so narcissistic!
"What nonsense are you spouting? I only came to rescue you because you once saved me, when I saw you being imprisoned by the old lady. You think I'm interested in you? What kind of woman can't I have? Why would I like a middle-aged woman like you? Don't dream! It's clearly you who's lusting after my good looks!"
Hearing his explanation, Qin Qing was slightly taken aback. It seemed to make sense!
"That's not right. Today is the old lady's birthday. The guests are either princes and nobles or important officials of the court. What are you doing here?"
As she spoke, she stared at the devilishly handsome man in front of her with a suspicious look, only to see Qian Baiwan roll his eyes, swagger down on the soft couch, and say arrogantly.
"Listen up! I am the son of the richest man in Qi, the future richest man in Qi, and the only royal merchant designated by Qi. I am so rich that I could rival the wealth of a nation!"
Qin Qing was slightly startled and couldn't help but look him up and down. His clothes did look very expensive, but they were already wrinkled from being trampled on. His handsome face was completely ruined by the bruises on the corners of his mouth. He didn't look like the son of a billionaire, but more like a puppy that had just been bullied!
The key is that its eyes are filled with arrogance and pride! If it had a big tail, it would be absolutely adorable!
Qianbai looked at Qin Qing with arrogance, imagining the shock, flattery, panic, and inferiority that the woman would show next. He wanted to retaliate and get back the humiliation of being abandoned and driven away many days ago!
He was the richest man in the State of Qi, with a fortune that rivaled that of the entire country. He was incredibly handsome, intelligent, and talented, and was admired by thousands!
