Chapter 140 We Will Leave Sooner or Later



Feng Hengzhi's eyes seemed to be devoid of any warmth.

Just this one glance and Rongxin's heart trembled involuntarily.

I saw Sang Luan and Feng Hengzhi leaving one after another.

Rong Xin covered the half of her face that was hit with her hand and trotted to Meng Youning. Before she could say anything, Meng Youning glanced at her with disgust.

His tone was very nonchalant, "Using such shameful means is truly despicable."

After saying that, he shook his head and left without looking back.

Rong Xin, who stayed where she was, had a changed expression and was stunned for a moment.

What is the situation now?

Shouldn't the Crown Princess praise her a few words?

"Sister Rong, don't bother with that Sang Luan. Look at how charming she was just now. She must have put a lot of effort into this."

"That's right, and the Crown Princess. You were clearly trying to help her, but I didn't expect him to say that about Sister Rong."

Rong Xin remained silent, his hands hanging naturally on his body, his eyes fixed on the direction where Sang Luan and Meng Youning left.

*

When Sang Luan changed her clothes and came out, Feng Hengzhi was gone.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”

A subtle voice came from the side. Sang Luan looked over suddenly and saw Meng Youning walking towards her not far away.

She quickly stepped forward and grabbed Meng Youning's hand, and then the two of them hid in a corner.

Meng Youning looked puzzled. "What happened just now? I felt that Feng Hengzhi's eyes looking at you just now were not right at all."

She and Sang Luan both knew very well that this expression should not appear on Feng Hengzhi at this time.

Sang Luan pulled her clothes closer to her. "May the heavens judge between loyalty and treachery. I really don't know what's wrong with him today."

She curled her lips and said, "Back when we were on the street, I told him not to come, but he insisted on following me. Now he's gone again. It's totally inexplicable."

Meng Youning pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "I can see that the look he gave you just now wasn't innocent at all. Be careful and don't get caught up in it. We'll have to leave sooner or later."

She spoke earnestly.

Sang Luan naturally placed her hands on Meng Youning's shoulders and leaned on top of her. "Don't worry, Ningning, I know all this, and I'm not a masochist. He feels uncomfortable if he doesn't say something to me every day. How could I possibly have feelings for him?"

Seeing Sang Luan's resolute look, Meng Youning didn't think about it any further.

She reached out and patted Sang Luan's hand gently. "Alright, if the two of us show up together it will arouse suspicion. Let's go back to the flower party first. After all, this is Ah Sheng's gift for you."

Sang Luan nodded suddenly, turned his wrist, and took out a medicine bag from somewhere.

She looked around carefully, then threw it into Meng Youning's sleeve.

"I found this specifically for you. I heard it might help with your condition. Remember to take it on time to help you recover."

After saying this, before Meng Youning could react, he covered his face with his hands and quickly ran to the other side.

Meng Youning: "..."

At this moment, outside Tianxiang Tower.

Tu Ling raised her head and her eyes fell on the plaque in front of her.

After a long journey, she finally arrived at Shengjing, as the drugstore clerk had mentioned.

Shengjing was indeed prosperous. Both the people and the surrounding vendors were things she had never seen before.

Each of them has a fatal temptation to her.

But there are many things she can only see but not eat.

Although Shengjing is bustling, those things also require more money.

After much difficulty, she asked around and heard that this place might be a place for her to stay.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, then lifted her skirt and walked in.

The entire hall was filled with wisps of white mist, and a hint of fragrance emanated from the air.

The hall was bustling with activity.

"Miss, would you like to have some tea or take a short rest?"

The waiter hurried forward and asked Tu Ling eagerly.

"Gurgle."

A burst of urgent sound suddenly rang out. The waiter's face froze and his eyes involuntarily fell on the place where the sound came from.

Tu Ling covered her abdomen with her hands somewhat unnaturally.

She twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, "Can I stay here with you?"

The waiter's eager smile suddenly faded a little.

He scanned Tu Ling from head to toe calmly, his expression remaining expressionless. "You're looking for a job, right? I can't make the decision on this. I might have to ask our shopkeeper."

Tu Ling smiled shyly and nodded slightly to the waiter, "In that case, thank you very much."

At this moment, Tu Ling was wearing a linen shirt. Although it was rough, it was very clean.

In order to avoid being disliked, she specially bought this set of clothes before going to Beijing.

This set of clothes cost her three copper coins.

Tu Ling followed the waiter all the way until she reached the second floor and saw a very elegant-looking man, then she stopped.

The waiter said respectfully to the man, "Boss, I'm here to see you. I think I'm looking for some work."

The elegant man just glanced at Tu Ling and waved his hand casually.

Then, everyone around him retreated one by one.

The man said casually, "Come with me."

Tu Ling clutched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, feeling a little scared, but due to the increasingly obvious hunger in her stomach, she still raised her feet and followed.

A moment later, in a room in Tianxiang Tower.

The elegant man said calmly, "Tell me, how much salary do you want per month?"

Tu Ling answered cautiously, "I don't need wages, as long as I can have food and accommodation."

The man paused and took another look at the person in front of him. "Then go back. If you don't want wages, I won't dare to use you."

Having said that, he stood up and left.

Tu Ling's face turned panicky and she stood up in a panic, not knowing what to do.

She tightened her grip on the hem of her clothes. "Just a few copper coins is fine, as long as I have enough to eat and a place to sleep."

She suddenly remembered what someone had said to her on the way to Beijing.

The next moment, Tu Ling suddenly knelt down in front of the elegant man, her face excited. "Boss, please give me a chance. They said that the boss here is kind-hearted and there must be a place for me, so I came here."

As she spoke, Tu Ling's voice became a little hoarse. "I really don't know where to go anymore. I just want to have a full meal, boss!"

She reached out and gently tugged at the corner of the man's clothes.

The man waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, stop talking so miserably. Stand up and talk. Since you're working here, your monthly salary will still be the same as theirs, but you'll need to find your own place to live."

He reached out and lifted Tu Ling up. "I can let you stay, but you are not allowed to show this face to anyone. Is that a problem?"
