Chapter 87
The words he said were full of sarcasm, which made Chang Qi very angry.
"What's going on? You don't want to be a beggar anymore. Look, look! The clothes you're wearing belong to... a waiter in some restaurant, right?"
"Oh, it also smells like slop. Can you smell it? Eh~, it smells so bad." While speaking, he deliberately covered his nose with a handkerchief.
"Hahaha!" The burly man behind him laughed.
Chang Qiqi's face was extremely ugly. "Here are guests. Why are you insulting them? Aren't you afraid of discouraging the customers? Who will dare to come to you in the future?"
"Besides, when have I not paid the money?" It can be said that all his salary over the years was paid here.
Mother Qi flung her handkerchief and tilted her head. "So what? Don't you see who you are? This mere... fellow actually wants to monopolize our Xianglan?"
"You better save some money. With that little bit of money you have, it was only enough to see Xianglan once in the past, but now... you can't stop her!"
Chang Qi: "You clearly promised Xianglan that you wouldn't let her have any customers, how could you go back on your word?"
Mother Qi: "There's nothing we can do. Business in the building is not good and we don't have any new products. After thinking about it, I think Xianglan is the only one who can bring out the products to keep things going."
Chang Qi: "You!"
"I advise you to save yourself the trouble. Can't you just spend your money yourself? Why come here and make yourself miserable? Even if you spend a lot of money today, you can't stop it."
Changqi: 'I want to see Xianglan!'
Mother Qi: "I asked, Xianglan doesn't want to see you."
Chang Qi roared, "This is impossible! She wouldn't be unwilling to see me. It's you, it must be you. You deliberately locked her up and didn't want me to see her, right?" He was so angry that he even wanted to hit someone here, but he couldn't hit anyone. Once he hit someone, his identity would be exposed, and then he would even lose this job. How would he earn money to redeem Xianglan?
He couldn't act impulsively, so he simply took out a piece of silver from his pocket, about five taels, and said, "Here, you let me see Xianglan!"
How many?
Mother Qi's eyes widened. After a quick glance, she stepped forward with a smile and took the silver. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You're so generous. How could I not let you in? Go quickly! Xianglan is waiting for you in the house!"
Mother Qi's expression changed so quickly that she could go out to perform an opera, but Changqi was helpless. He could only angrily flick his sleeves, let the strong men move aside, and went to the second floor.
After entering Xianglan's room, he didn't notice the sudden change in Qi Mama's expression. He only saw her pick up the piece of silver, look at it against the light, and finally said, "I used to give you a few copper coins, why are you so willing to spend it today?"
"I haven't heard where he is now."
A servant beside him said, "I heard he's working as a waiter in a restaurant now. The restaurant is doing good business, so he must have made some money."
Mother Qi: "Humph, you can't just give him five taels of silver at once, right? Doesn't he have a sick mother at home? And he still dares to covet our Miss Xianglan? He doesn't know what's good for him!"
Turtle slave: "Then according to my mother, what should we do?"
Mother Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I always feel that he should still have some wealth. Let's squeeze it out first! Oh, by the way, it's time to arrange for Xianglan to receive guests tonight. You should stay away from him and arrange for him."
The turtle slave said: "Okay," and then left.
As for whether Xianglan will receive customers tonight, it is not Changqi's decision.
He hurried into the house and as soon as he came in, he smelled a fresh and elegant fragrance, which seemed to be the scent of osmanthus flowers.
He said that his Xianglan is different from other girls!
In the room, several hazy gauze curtains surrounded the wedding bed. The big red lanterns and mattresses were already prepared, and now they were waiting to receive guests.
But there was clearly a bloodstain on the corner of the dressing table, which Changqi noticed keenly.
"Brother Changqi, don't come in!"
"My face is bruised. Now, I can't face anyone. Woo woo woo." He covered his face and cried.
Chang Qi's heart nearly broke when he heard this voice: "Don't be like this, Xianglan, you... I'm going to buy you some medicine. I heard that Huichuntang has a kind of trauma medicine that is very effective for scars. You wait for me to buy it for you tomorrow."
Xianglan was crying, but she stopped crying when she heard him say that: "Really?" she asked.
Chang Qi: "Really, really, I promise it's true. Let me see how your face looks like. Is the injury serious?"
Changqi was about to go forward and lift the curtain, but Xianglan started to sob again when he did so.
This made Changqi's outstretched hand freeze there, not knowing whether to lift it or not.
"Wuwuwu, Brother Changqi, please don't come in. Wuwuwu, I'm too embarrassed to see anyone. Wuwuwu, I don't want you to see me so ugly. Please don't come in."
"If you come in, I'll jump off the building!" she said decisively.
This frightened Changqi, so he quickly said, "No, no, no, don't jump. I won't look at you. I won't look at you!"
This made Xianglan stop crying.
However: "Have you heard, Brother Changqi? Mom said that I should entertain customers, but I, I..." She bit her lip and walked to the gauze curtain and said to Changqi.
"I already have someone in my heart. I don't want to accept customers, but..." "We are both of humble status. How can we compete with Mom? I will probably accept customers tonight."
"So, Brother Changqi, I know how good you are to me, and I remember your kindness, but we are not destined to be together. Can you please forget me? Okay? Go on with your life, and I will... accept this fate."
"Wuwuwu" she said bluntly, but in the end she still remembered Changqi's kindness in the past, so she stretched out a hand from the gauze curtain and said, "This is what I made with my own hands. You can take it as a souvenir. From now on, we will never see each other again, wuwuwuwu."
Before Changqi took the purse, she turned around and threw herself onto the bed, sobbing.
Even through the gauze curtains, you could tell she looked very broken.
Changqi felt so distressed when he saw this.
At this moment, she even wanted to rush up and kill the madam and the eunuchs!
So that they can see that his status as a subordinate of the Imperial City Bureau is not to be trifled with!
But... he can't be exposed.
But there must be another way out of this problem.
So he said, "No, don't say we'll never see each other again. I told you I would redeem you and marry you. Believe me, I have a way to make mother agree to marry you. Just wait, don't cry, wait here for me, one month, in one month I will definitely come to marry you!"
