Chapter 40 Am I Not Beautiful?



Qiu Mobai raised his eyebrows, tapped the table lightly with his hand, and asked anxiously.

"What did Master Liu and the others say?"

Hua Niang frowned and said carefully, "I have asked, and they did not leave any traces on Hua Lingyang! There will be no problem!"

Qiu Mobai nodded and looked at Yu Jinzhi who was frowning beside him.

"Master Yu, I'm leaving it to you!"

Yu Jinzhi rolled his eyes, picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, and then curled his lips and said.

"I've been very busy lately, with a lot of cases! But since our Mr. Qiu has asked me to do this, I will definitely do my best to help!"

Qiu Mo rolled his eyes at him.

"Remember to go through the back door!"

Yu Jinzhi, who had just stood up and was still refreshed, could no longer boast! He pointed at Qiu Mobai for a long time before groaning and walking out the back door!

He was still mumbling to himself.

"This morning it's Hua Lingxuan! This afternoon it's Hua Lingyang! Can't the Anguo Mansion just be quiet for a while?"

Qiu Mobai narrowed his eyes and tapped the table with his fingers! He was obviously wondering if there was any hidden secret.

Xie Mingjue wanted to watch the fun, but it was inconvenient for him to go out so openly. He simply retreated from the back door with Yu Jinzhi. He planned to walk around the street twice and then come back to watch the fun!

After everyone left, Qiu Mobai said.

"Hua Niang, everything will be ready when Lord Yu arrives. Just cooperate with us! Don't worry about anything else." It was obvious that she had no intention of showing up.

Hua Niang also calmed down and thought with a frown.

"Master, this incident is bound to affect our business!"

Qiu Mobai curled his lips and looked at Hua Niang, "When the water is full, it will overflow! When it reaches its peak, it will decline! Hua Man Lou has been prosperous for a long time! We have been targeted by people, so why not take this opportunity to avoid the limelight!"

Hua Niang's eyes lit up, "I understand!" and then she walked out.

Qiu Mobai continued to settle the accounts.

Soon, someone knocked on the door. Qiu Mobai didn't even raise his head and let the person in.

He heard someone coming in, but didn't say anything for a long time.

Qiu Mobai looked up and saw a charming beauty standing there, looking at him hesitantly.

He raised an eyebrow and looked at the other person.

"Miss Lian Yue?"

She is the oiran whose virginity is going to be auctioned this time.

"What's the matter?"

Lian Yue pursed her lips for a long time, but finally couldn't help but took a step forward and asked.

"Sir, am I not beautiful? Are the music, chess, calligraphy and painting not good? Why me?"

Qiu Mobai put down the brush in his hand, leaned back on the chair, looked at her calmly, and said nothing.

Seeing him like this, Lian Yue took another step forward, her eyes filled with tears.

"Why was it me who was sold? I can do other things! I can also go to the Prince's Mansion in Lianhuan's place! Or go to other masters' mansions and be an insider..."

Qiu Mobai narrowed his eyes, then suddenly smiled.

"Do you know that Hua Niang likes the scent of osmanthus the most?"

Lian Yue was stunned for a moment, "Uh, really? So what?"

"Hua Niang is the one in charge of Hua Man Lou! In this entire building, all the girls know to avoid her! Only you never know how to restrain yourself and use the same fragrance as Hua Niang!"

"No one reminded you. This shows that you have no popularity with women. You also don't have women's intuition. You don't even have self-awareness!"

Lian Yue froze!

"I have too many vases! I really don't need you!"

Lian Yue's face turned pale, "Master! I..."

Qiu Mobai said calmly.

"Back off! I guess we won't see each other again!"

Lian Yue walked out the door in a daze.

"Someone come!"

Changying came in.

"Tell Hua Niang to send her to the store in the north! She is no longer suitable to stay in Bianjing City!"

"Yes!" Changying quickly retreated.

"Changxiong!"

A man walked out from the shadows, bowed and clasped his fists.

"master!"

Qiu Mobai no longer had the gentleness he once had, his face was as gloomy as water.

"Go check how Lian Yue knew about Lian Huan entering the Crown Prince's Mansion!"

"Also! The plan to send someone to the Prince's Mansion is suspended!"

Changxiong bowed, nodded without asking the reason, and disappeared on the spot in an instant!

On the other side, Yu Jinzhi went back to change into official uniform and hurried to Huamanlou with his men.

Hua Niang led them directly to the third floor. After clearing out the outsiders, the entire Huaman Building fell silent.

Hua Lingyang was held down by Hua Manlou's men, not letting him move. Zhang Yu was lying on the side with a knife stuck in his chest, obviously dead.

The coroner examined Zhang Yu's injuries and confirmed that they were caused by the knife in his chest.

The case was also very simple, because many people saw that it was Hua Lingyang who stabbed Zhang Yu.

In addition to the two of them, there was also Wang Quan sitting at the door in the room.

"No, there are also the three Liu sisters from Hua Man Lou! It's them, it must be them!" Hua Lingyang's eyes were a little confused. He said whatever he thought of. "They also whipped me with a whip! I was covered with wounds! How could I kill someone!"

Without waiting for Yu Jinzhi to ask, the three Liu sisters walked forward and knelt down to greet him.

"Your Excellency, the three of us left after we saw Young Master Zhang come in! When we left, Young Master Zhang was still fine!" As they spoke, the three sisters sobbed in grievance.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Prince Wang!"

"Besides, we didn't draw Mr. Hua!"

"Yes, we are just lowly women, how can we have the courage to whip a noble man!"

"They whipped me! If you don't believe me, look at my body! It must be covered with whip marks!"

Everyone looked over and saw that Hua Lingyang was fine! Although his clothes were a little messy, there was no injury on his exposed skin.

In order to avoid any mistakes, Yu Jinzhi even ordered someone to check Hua Lingyang! The result was also intact.

Yu Jinzhi frowned and looked at Wang Quan again.

"What they said is true! You came in after them! At that time, Zhang Yu was not dead yet?"

Hua Lingyang quickly looked at Wang Quan, his eyes full of requests!

Wang Quan trembled, looked at this, looked at that! Finally, he lowered his head and gritted his teeth.

"Yes! I entered the room after the three girls left! At that time, Master Zhang had just been stabbed! Master Zhang was still standing! He should not be dead yet!" After saying that, he couldn't help but tremble!

Hua Lingyang was stunned for a moment, then realized what Wang Quan said and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"You are talking nonsense! Are you in cahoots with them?"

Wang Quan looked panicked and took a step back in fear. "I didn't, I didn't!"

Yu Jinzhi asked someone to look at the dagger again and confirmed that it was Hua Lingyang's.

There are witnesses and evidence. There is nothing suspicious.

Yu Jinzhi raised his hand and spoke to his subordinates.

"Okay, leave some people to check the scene, and the rest of you, take these people back!"
