Ke'er followed the steward to the room where Young Master He was entertaining his distinguished guests. Through the window, she could vaguely see inside. Sensing something was amiss, she said to the steward, "Thank you for bringing me here, Steward. I'll wait outside. Please go in and inform them."
After hearing Ke'er's words and carefully examining her, the steward, seeing that the maid didn't seem to be lying or being cunning, admonished her:
"You wait here, I need to go in first and ask the master inside for instructions."
Ke'er understood that she was just a maid in a brothel and could not possibly come and go as she pleased, so she immediately said obediently, "Yes, thank you for your understanding, Manager."
The steward opened the door, went inside, and tiptoed to the eldest son of the He family, whispering a few words in his ear.
Fucha Argon, who was standing nearby, was drinking with his arm around Qingluo's shoulder.
After listening to the steward's words, the eldest son of the He family glanced suspiciously at Qingluo, then nodded and gestured for the steward to let Ke'er in.
The housekeeper came out and nodded to Ke'er.
Seeing this, Ke'er quickly pushed open the door and walked behind Qingluo, deliberately saying, "Miss, it's time for you to take your medicine."
Upon hearing this, Fucha Argon immediately released Qingluo.
Young Master He frowned. He hadn't heard that Qingluo was ill when he summoned her. Now that there was a distinguished guest here, he had unexpectedly spoiled Fucha Argon's enjoyment.
Qingluo was taken aback, but after a moment's reaction, she immediately understood Ke'er's intention and said to the two people in the room, "Qingluo has been suffering from a throat ailment these days and should have been recuperating in the building, but Qingluo has long admired the two gentlemen, so... cough cough."
When she got to the point of being anxious, Qingluo coughed twice.
Fucha Argon originally wanted to take advantage of Qingluo, but when he heard her say that she needed to take medicine, he immediately let go of Qingluo.
The eldest son of the He family originally planned to use Qingluo to curry favor with Fucha Argon, but he did not expect such a mishap to occur. He waved his hand repeatedly, signaling Qingluo to go down and take her medicine, and he would then explain the situation to Fucha Argon.
Qinglu put on a pitiful and delicate appearance, but without thinking, she took the opportunity to slip away and leave.
Once outside, Qingluo pulled Ke'er along, talking as they walked.
"You're quite clever, girl. You knew how to use your brain to save me."
Seeing her master say this, Ke'er quickly replied, "Ke'er isn't that clever. Today's events were all Prince's idea."
Hearing this, Qingluo felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
After returning to the room where they had been resting, Hongzhou saw that Qingluo had returned safely. He quickly went up to her, looked her over carefully, and then asked, "Are you alright?"
Qinglu smiled, her face remaining impassive, but she was overjoyed inside. She realized that although Hongzhou was a tough guy, he still cared about her.
Hongzhou glanced at the sky outside and said, "We need to find a way to leave quickly, otherwise who knows what other changes might occur later."
Qingluo looked at Hongzhou, her eyes narrowed like crescent moons: "Don't worry, someone will come to see us off soon."
Qingluo thought to herself that the old lecher probably wasn't in the mood to flirt with her anymore, and they were probably thinking of getting rid of this hot potato as soon as possible.
Sure enough, after a while, the manager brought a bag of silver and handed it to Qingluo, telling them to leave quickly.
Hongzhou then left Juxian Pavilion with Qingluo and the others. After they reached the shore, Hongzhou looked at Qingluo and said, "Thank you for your help this time. I have to go back soon. Farewell."
Looking at Hongzhou's face, Qingluo felt a little reluctant, but she knew that Hongzhou would ultimately prioritize the greater good, so she watched him leave.
