Almost as soon as the woman finished speaking, that guy named Chang's face turned ashen.
"Are you really going to be our token of love?"
Nan Qu rolled her eyes: "Don't you guys understand? I don't know any of you. And you, it's not spring, you look like a female dog in heat."
You too, the female dog is right there. I'm a human, I don't like animals.
"you....."
Before Xiao Jiangchang could say anything more, he saw Nan Qu's face turn cold: "I'm warning you, if you dare to take another step forward, you're courting death, so don't blame me for being impolite."
Nan Qu's words carried profound inner strength, causing the two who were about to speak to take two steps back. The woman, in particular, collapsed to the ground, even spitting out blood.
Nan Qu gave a sarcastic laugh: "Trash should be paired up. From now on, you'd better keep your doors tightly shut and don't come out to harm anyone, especially not me. To be honest, I'm naturally allergic to people like you. Don't touch me again!"
After finishing speaking, Nanqu walked to the front, not forgetting to say "bad luck" before leaving. Then she stepped forward and placed the jade pendant on the counter.
When Xiao Jiangchang saw the fine jade pendant that Nan Qu had taken out, he realized that this person really might not be his Qingrou sister.
Xiao Jiangchang left dejectedly.
The woman continued to stare intently at Nan Qu until Nan Qu, impatient, turned around and glared at her: "If you keep looking at me, I'll gouge your eyes out and feed them to the dogs! I just don't know if dogs eat their own kind."
"Then I guess they won't eat it."
As they were speaking, a few people walked over from the counter next to them.
Nan Qu recognized Lin Yu and his group at a glance, but the one who had just spoken was A Li, who hadn't gotten along with her before.
Nan Qu sensed trouble the moment she saw them. She wanted to turn around and leave, but the accounts at the counter hadn't been settled yet. Furthermore, Lin Yu approached and respectfully raised his hand, saying, "Miss Nan, it's been several days since we last met. I didn't expect to run into you here today."
Nan Qu shrugged: "This is your territory, it's normal for you to be here."
Lin Yu explained, "No, this is not my territory. Didn't I say before that I was just buying this place for a friend?"
Nan Qu waved her hand: "It doesn't matter."
Ah Li now seemed to have a good feeling about Nan Qu. She walked up to Nan Qu with a happy face and said, "You don't know, I hate this Qing Li the most. I heard that Qing Li is just Qing Rou's cousin. Back then, not long after Qing Li went to the Tang family, the Tang family was exiled because they offended the higher-ups."
Even so, in order to protect Qingli, the Tang family used their grandson to switch places with Qingrou and send her to the Xiao family. At the time, the Tian family, considering the Tang family's generations of loyalty, turned a blind eye.
One was a daughter from her maternal family, and the other was a daughter about to be married off. The Xiao family was also willing to step in to protect Qingrou, which allowed her to stay in the capital.
Nan Qu hadn't wanted to listen at first, but when she heard the Tang family mentioned, she became interested. Upon hearing "Beijing," Nan Qu couldn't help but ask, "Beijing? Then why are they in Qianlong City? And why are they looking for someone here?"
"Because the Tang family was exiled to a border area not far from here." This was said by Lin Yu.
However, he didn't know why Qingrou had come.
However, Ah Li knew clearly: "I heard that a month ago, Qing Rou discovered that Xiao Jiangchang and Qing Li were doing something improper in the inner room with their clothes disheveled. Qing Rou happened to see it. This Qing Rou is also very strong-willed, and she actually left the Xiao family and headed west to Qianlong City."
Nanqu clicked her tongue twice: "It's hard to judge."
A-Li stared at Nan Qu: "Just now, Xiao Jiangchang and Qing Li both mistook you for Qing Rou. Could you be Qing Rou?"
Nan Qu gave a disdainful smile: "If I were Qing Rou, I wouldn't give the Tang family the chance to exile me. Whoever dares to exile me, I dare to exile them!"
Upon hearing Nan Qu's words, the faces of the others instantly turned pale.
Nan Qu calmly replied, "You're all supposed to be people of the martial arts world, are you all so cowardly?"
In an instant, everyone who had initially thought Nan Qu was Qing Rou changed their minds. Her air of江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) was simply too strong.
But Nan Qu hadn't finished speaking: "If it were me, I wouldn't run out here heartbroken. I would pretend nothing happened, then wait to marry Xiao Jiangchang, and then give him his eighteen concubines. I would then train each of them to have their own unique characteristics."
Let Xiao Jiangchang spend his days indulging in brothels. In a few years, his manhood will be ruined, and he'll be exhausted and barely alive. Then, when Xiao is old and dead, the whole family will be mine. Every day I'll take him to brothels, watching the beautiful women and the revelry. If I get tired of him, well, given his poor health, wouldn't it be normal for him to die?"
As soon as Nan Qu finished speaking, the entire pawnshop fell completely silent. Everyone stared at Nan Qu in disbelief, and some even felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were the ones about to be violated.
Only Nan Qu, the person involved, looked helplessly at the shopkeeper inside: "285 taels plus 138 taels equals 423 taels. Also, one tael of gold can be exchanged for 10 taels of silver, but it's lower here, only nine taels. So when you convert it the other way around, shouldn't you give me one tael of gold for those nine taels of silver?"
"Of course that's impossible. If we were to replace it for you like that, our pawnshop would probably have to close down immediately."
As he spoke, a man dressed in flowing white robes walked in from outside.
Lin Yu saw the man raise his hand in greeting: "Cousin."
The man returned the greeting to Lin Yu, saying, "Young Master Lin."
The man looked at Lin Yu: "You don't look well, is something wrong?"
Lin Yu glanced at Nan Qu subconsciously: "Heh, hehe. It's nothing, it's just that someone said something I'd never heard before, so I was a little shocked."
"What words? What words?"
Lin Yu shook his head: "It's better for my cousin not to know."
The man looked at Lin Yu suspiciously. Since Lin Yu was unwilling to talk, he didn't ask. Instead, he turned to Nan Qu and said, "I'm sorry, I just overheard your conversation with our manager. It was a bit rude of me to interrupt."
Nan Qu nodded: "Indeed, but since you are the owner here, it's understandable that you would act in your own best interest, so I will forgive you."
Upon hearing Nan Qu's words, the man actually laughed: "My name is Lin Tengfei. May I ask how the young lady is addressed?"
"Nanqu, the south of Nantianmen, a song of high-spirited singing."
Lin Tengfei couldn't help but laugh again: "I soar through the forest, while you're going to sing a song at the South Heavenly Gate beyond the nine heavens? You're indeed more impressive than me."
Nan Qu was surprised that this person had actually understood her meaning, and couldn't help but take another look at him: "You're not bad either. You're an interesting one."
