Mu Qing thought about it and walked towards the door of Nanny Hua's room that Jin'er pointed to.
Just as I stood at the door of Aunt Hua's room, Aunt Hua came out and said, "I asked her to go to the underground gambling house to find Li Zhi. It's been an hour or so. If you want to go, go quickly. If not, wait for her. She should be back soon."
When Mu Qing heard that Mingyue had gone to an underground gambling house, he turned around and ran before he even left the yard.
Aunt Hua smiled and shook her head and said, "These two children, one after another, quarrel with each other every day, but they also care about each other the most." Then she went back to the house. Xiaofu was staring at Aunt Hua making clothes for her.
Mu Qing rode all the way to the West Neighborhood, where all kinds of people gathered. If you had not been to the two southeastern neighborhoods and came directly here, it would be hard to imagine that you were at the feet of the emperor.
The streets here are very narrow, with various small vendors on both sides, and one or two beggars hiding in some corners. People from the West Neighborhood are not allowed to go to other neighborhoods.
This is the most chaotic place, but it is also the best informed and the best place to hide.
The underground gambling house is located in the most central location of West Street. It is well connected and you can easily get rid of the people chasing you no matter which exit you come out from.
The Great Yin Kingdom had no curfew. This underground gambling house was busiest at night; people were just there to have fun, and the real big bets were only made at night.
This underground gambling house is called an underground gambling house. It has five floors in total, three of which are underground and two are above ground. Only the top two floors are open during the day, and the bottom three floors are open at night.
The people playing on the two upper floors are all ordinary people, and they don’t gamble much, they just play for fun.
The people in underground gambling houses are mostly high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen. A single bet could wipe out the savings accumulated over generations, or it could give you the capital to make a comeback overnight. Of course, the stakes are high, but there is one thing: no human life is involved.
Because this boss thinks that the least valuable thing is human life. If you come here and lose a penny, he can get a penny, but if you lose your life, he will not get a penny and will have to throw your body away with great effort. It is not cost-effective.
Of course, Li Zhi was just a small figure, and he was only worthy of having fun on the two upper floors. But even this fun was enough to drive his mother to the point of wanting to hang herself every day.
If the Ye Mansion had not provided her with food and lodging, and provided her with a monthly stipend, and if her master had not given her rewards from time to time, she would have gone to find her dead husband long ago.
When Mu Qing rushed to the gambling house, he saw Mingyue holding a man in his hand from a distance. The man's mouth was full of blood. It was obvious that he had been beaten, and the beating was not light.
Mu Qing hurried over and asked Mingyue: "How are you? Did you suffer any loss?"
Mingyue glanced at Mu and snorted coldly: "Don't worry about it. I've finished my work. Go do what you need to do and don't get in my way!"
Mingyue picked up Li Zhi and left. Mu Qing grabbed Li Zhi's shoulder and said, "You're a girl, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others for carrying such a grown man around? You don't know how to avoid suspicion."
Mingyue exploded immediately, throwing Li Zhiyi to the ground and saying, "What's wrong with me being a grown-up girl? What does it have to do with you, Guard Mu Qing, whether I avoid suspicion or not? Just take care of your sister Jin'er, who can you tell me what to do?"
"I'm telling you, even if I can't get married in the future, it's none of your business. What's wrong with me bringing a man? I'm honest and upright, unlike some people who look decent but call others "sister" and "brother" all the time. It's disgusting!"
Mingyue then lifted Li Zhi from the ground and left. Mu Qing was stunned. Was he just scolded by Mingyue? Was he scolded by that foolish Mingyue?
Mu Qing stood there, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised. Could he understand that this girl was jealous?
Over the past few months, following my master, I seem to have learned a lot. At least I can see more sides to things now.
Even though I was scolded by this girl, why did it feel a little sweet in my heart?
Mu Qing followed Mingyue back to Ye Mansion. Mingyue took Li Zhi directly to Nianqiu Pavilion, where Ye Chen was.
Ye Chen said to Mingyue: "Well done, you know not to worry Qiu'er."
Mingyue smiled and said, "Madam is pregnant now. You instructed me to handle this kind of heartbreaking matter, so I brought it up."
"Since it was Mu Qing who gave Aunt Hua a tip, this must have been arranged by you. I'm not stupid, am I?"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Not stupid." It would be strange if he wasn't stupid. Mu Qing tries to attract your attention in different ways every day, but you don't even give him a glance.
Ye Chen coughed and said, "Go find Nanny Li and let's deal with this before dinner."
Mingyue responded and went out. Mu Qing's eyes kept following Mingyue, but Mingyue really didn't even glance at Mu Qing.
After Mingyue left, Mu Qing said to Ye Chen: "Master, what should I do? I really have no idea!"
Ye Chen said: "Give her a taste of her own medicine. Why don't you try being cold to her for a few days? Or perhaps, try being more provocative with your words?"
Then he said with a smile, "My Qiu'er is still the best. Your Mingyue is impervious to all kinds of things, but fortunately my Qiu'er has not been influenced by her!"
Mu Qing's mouth twitched. "Master, could you please not be so... annoying?" But what could he do? After all, he was the master!
Mingyue brought Nanny Li over in a moment and told her, "The Duke wants to talk to her about something."
Before Chen Qiu was about to marry in, Ye Chen told Li Ma that she didn't need to be polite to Shen Qiu after she married in, and even asked Li Ma to wash Chen Qiu's handkerchief.
But on the wedding night, Ye Chen suddenly changed his mind. She didn't know what went wrong. Ye Chen hadn't told her to do anything for two or three months. After his wife became pregnant, Nanny Hua had the final say in the yard.
Her son took her coffin book again yesterday. This time the Duke came to see her, probably because he needed her to do something. If she did the job, she would get a reward, so she came very happily.
However, as soon as she entered Nian Qiu Pavilion and saw the man kneeling on the ground, her legs went weak and she fell to her knees with a thud.
Ye Chen sat behind the desk, reading a book, with Mu Qing beside him.
Nanny Li knelt there, not daring to raise her head. When her son saw his mother coming, he rushed over and grabbed her arm, saying, "Mother, give me some money, and I will win back everything I lost. Please talk to the Duke and ask him to lend you some more money."
Nanny Li glared at Li Zhi fiercely and said through gritted teeth: "Shut up!"
Li Zhi was glared at by Li Ma, and suddenly he got angry. He pushed Li Ma and said, "Why are you glaring at me? If you don't have the ability to give me money, I will borrow it myself."
Mingyue was originally standing at the door. Seeing Li Zhi pushing Li Ma and speaking so shamelessly, she went up and kicked Li Zhi.
Then he stepped on Li Zhi's back and said, "You are a bastard. She is your biological mother, the one who gave you life, and you actually pushed her!"
Ye Chen said to Mu Qing: "Did she cause Li Zhi's injury?"
Mu Qing shrugged, indicating that he didn't know.
Mingyue said: "I was responsible for half of his previous injuries. When I found him, he had already been beaten again."
