After strolling around the teahouse, Qingyin ignored the man who was supposed to be her companion and went back to the General's Mansion.
When they returned to the Qin residence, they saw a figure who shouldn't have returned so early in the distance. He was tall and elegant, wearing a black brocade robe, and exuded a gentle and refined air.
It was clearly the original owner's scumbag father, who was at the intersection of the main courtyard and the backyard. You would definitely run into him when you went back.
Qingyin frowned, wanting to turn away from this smiling tiger in front of her.
However, it was clear that he couldn't avoid it.
"Why are you back so late? Where did you go?" Qin Yi asked.
Qingyin answered obediently, "I went to the First Tea House for a while..."
Seeing the boy answer so obediently, the man's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and he felt even more at ease after seeing that a certain man was no longer by the boy's side.
Looking at the boy, he said, "Well, go to brothels less often in the future, and don't make friends with those shady characters..." Looking at the boy's handsome appearance, the man's tone softened a bit: "If you find any good ones, you can bring them over for me to see."
"Huh?" Qingyin didn't follow his train of thought and didn't know why the man who had just asked her where she was going was now lecturing her.
However, seeing the serious look in the man's eyes, Qingyin nodded.
The man was clearly pleased by the boy's obedient response, and even felt a slight itch in his hand as he looked at the boy's smooth and soft hair.
However, out of consideration for his usual pride, he watched the boy walk back to his own courtyard.
Ever since Li Meng last came to see him, it was as if a switch had been flipped.
Every single day, without fail, they would go to the door to look for him.
However, an unexpected event occurred today.
At the main entrance, Li Meng looked unhappily at Luo Cheng, a young man who appeared in front of him.
"What do you want with Qin Miao?"
Luo Cheng shrank back slightly when glared at, which caught Li Meng's eye, who gave him a disdainful look.
Luo Cheng clearly felt the contemptuous gaze, his face flushed red with anger and resentment. He was annoyed for a long time but couldn't say anything to refute it. After all, Li Meng, this perverted man-loving man, was the son of the Prime Minister's mansion, and he was different from Luo Cheng, the illegitimate son of a minor official. He had no right to compete with him.
But it doesn't matter. Once he completes that person's task, he will have wealth and power. He will teach that pervert Li Meng a lesson!
After struggling for a while, Luo Cheng could only manage to say one sentence: "I've come to find something fun for Young Master Qin Miao."
"What fun things could you possibly have?" Li Meng looked at him with disdain and said.
Fortunately, the doorman arrived in time, saving Luo Cheng from the possibility of being angered to death.
"Young masters, the young master invites you in!"
"Great!" Over the course of so many days, Li Meng's feelings for the young master had changed without him realizing it, or rather, he had willingly fallen for him.
Before, he might have just played around with the young master because of his good looks, but now, even if the young master says something casually, he has to ponder it repeatedly to understand the young master's intentions and make him happy.
Luo Cheng was unaware of this, and only looked at the figure in front of him with disdain and resentment.
Luo Cheng thought, "Why don't I reveal a bit about Qin Miao's matter to Li Meng, use him first, and then achieve my own goal?"
The two walked towards Qingyin's courtyard, unaware of the man standing upright in a corner.
Qin Yi looked at the two departing figures with disdain and said sarcastically, "Heh, he talks a good game, telling him to stay away from that shady guy, but he doesn't listen. He keeps bringing random men into the house, and now he's brought in a rat from the gutter."
Song An, the only trusted confidant standing behind the general and the general's adjutant, happened to hear the whole thing. He had been following the general closely and knew that the young master and the general hadn't gotten along very well before. However, in the past few days, the general's relationship with the young master had clearly improved, which had made him feel relieved for several days. Seeing the general's anger, Song An was worried that the relationship between the general and the young master would deteriorate, so he cautiously advised, "General, the young master is still young. He may have been instigated by those people. He will understand when he grows up."
Seeing the anxious adjutant, Qin Yixin, realizing he was angry, suddenly felt a pang of sadness. He frowned for a long time before finally saying, "Never mind, go back to work."
"Yes, General."
...
When Qingyin saw Luo Cheng appear beside Li Meng, she knew that the emperor was getting impatient with his lack of activity these past few days and wanted to find an opportunity to test him.
Luo Cheng was the first piece to be handed over.
Qingyin frowned slightly, looking at the two of them: "What are you doing here?"
The boy, whose looks grew more and more handsome each day, became increasingly alluring.
Even Li Meng, who comes to see Qingyin every day, was momentarily stunned. Not to mention Luo Cheng, who hadn't seen the young master for many days, he was so amazed that he forgot all the complaints he had wanted to say to Qingyin.
Seeing his infatuated expression, Li Meng stood directly in front of him, completely blocking the boy's view.
Luo Cheng: "..."
Thanks to him, Luo Cheng regained physical consciousness.
He stammered as he answered Qingyin's question, "Young Master Qin, you haven't been out for a long time. I'd like to invite you out for some fun."
Qingyin gave a faint "oh," her tone completely flat and without any inflection.
Li Meng was delighted and grinned, revealing his clean, white teeth. "Miaomiao, a new horse farm has opened up in the south. Why don't we go and give it a try?"
In the past few days, Li Meng, who successfully changed his title from "Young Master" to "Miao Miao," achieved his goal with his incredibly thick skin.
The main reason was that Qingyin was fed up with him.
"I'm not going! It's boring." But Qingyin didn't give him any face.
"Then let's go to a brothel?" Luo Cheng quietly interjected from the side.
"No!" Before Qingyin could even speak, Li Meng said with unusual determination.
A fierce gaze stared intently at him, and Luo Cheng trembled with fear.
Li Meng glared at him threateningly. Luo Cheng looked at him in confusion. Wait, he had invited the young master to a brothel before, so why didn't Li Meng object like this then?
However, the most important thing is the young man who makes the decision.
Qingyin lazily looked at the camphor tree in the distance and said impatiently, "What's so fun about brothels? I'm not going."
"That cruise ship?"
"I'm not going!"
"Picking greens?"
"I'm not going!"
...
After rejecting several outings in a row, Qingyin closed her eyes and ignored the two young men who were racking their brains to come up with activities.
It wasn't that Qingyin was deliberately making things difficult for the two of them; it was simply that he didn't want to play these games. There was also another reason: in a few days, An Kui, another general of the Great Dynasty who, like Qin Yi, was also one of the two heroes of the Great Qing, had won a battle and was about to return to the capital.
According to the old emperor's wishes, he would soon be holding a celebratory banquet.
Qingyin planned to manipulate things and cause the old emperor some trouble, so that he wouldn't be the only one being targeted.
