Chapter 359: Get Out (6)
Maybe Mo Qing just likes to spend his money in a brothel and stare blankly.
Liuying had no intention of chatting with Mo Qing. Mo Qing had come so many times but had never spoken to her. If he had not spoken to the girl welcoming guests downstairs every time, Liuying would even have thought that Mo Qing was a mute.
But today, Mo Qing spoke to her for the first time. Mo Qing said, "It's not me."
Liuying was so surprised that she could only stare at him with wide eyes: "Huh?"
"I wasn't the one who gave you the silver." Mo Qing said.
Liuying was puzzled: "What silver?"
"My master told me to come here to you every three days, give you silver, and do nothing."
This was probably the longest sentence Mo Qing had ever said in Baoxianglou. However, as soon as he said this, Liuying's eyes suddenly became alert. She stood up and asked, "Who is your master?"
Mo Qing shook his head: "I can't say."
"You!" Liuying glared at him.
"The master said she will come to see you in a few days." Mo Qing said, "Don't accept other guests for the time being."
Liuying smiled: "Brother, I don't know who your master is, nor do I know what he wants to do, but I am a girl from Baoxianglou. Now that things are so bad, I am not the top star who has just been made famous. If I don't accept other customers, what will I eat and drink? You support me!"
Mo Qing remained silent.
Seeing that Mo Qing remained silent, Liuying became even angrier, a nameless fire rising in her heart. Other men would always say a few words of comfort at this time, no matter if they were sincere or not: "I will support you." Even if it was just a lie, no one would take anyone else's words seriously in the entertainment industry. But Mo Qing was just a blockhead, and he loved to argue, and he refused to say even a lie. When he got angry, he wanted to comfort people, but just when he opened his mouth, Liuying fell silent again. Mo Qing was indeed not a man of the entertainment industry, he said himself that he was just following the orders of his master. Thinking about it this way, it felt really boring to ask him about these things.
Mo Qing saw Liu Ying's expression changing constantly, and he was also a little puzzled. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said something that Shen Miao had not instructed him to say. He said: "My master is a good person, you... don't be afraid."
Liuying was stunned for a moment and looked at Mo Qing, but Mo Qing lowered his head to drink his tea. Inexplicably, Liuying's mood improved. She said, "Why should I believe you?"
Mo Qing: “…”
…
That night, moonless and starless, Shen Miao chatted with Luo Xueyan in her room before preparing to return to her own courtyard. On the way, Jingzhe told Shen Miao the news he had gathered during the day: "Miss, I heard that the Jing family left for Suzhou this afternoon. Before leaving, they took away all the valuable furnishings from the side courtyard where Rong Jingtang lived. It was truly a robber-like act. The old lady was so angry that she almost had another stroke."
The phrase "another stroke" was filled with irony. Everyone knew that Old Madam Shen always had a stroke when she was furious. But now she had met her match. The shameless had met an even more shameless one. Honestly, I really admire the Jing family's nerve. They took Rongjingtang's things so calmly. It was truly bizarre.
"I didn't expect that the Jing family, who had said so righteously and vowed to seek justice for my cousin, now returned to Suzhou in disgrace, and my cousin didn't care anymore. They knew that my cousin would not have a good ending in the Sun family, but they didn't try to find a solution at all. They were so harsh before just to get more money." Jingzhe said.
"People should not fight against officials," Shen Miao raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "The Jing family must also know that they have caused great trouble."
"They are not good people." Jingzhe curled his lips.
Shen Miao remained silent. The Jing family rushed back to Suzhou overnight, but how could they possibly get back? Sun Tianzheng was no pushover. When Shenqiu was in trouble, Jing Chuchu escaped, but the rest of the Jing family didn't. Sun Tianzheng had never been a soft-hearted person. What happened on the way back to Suzhou was unknown to anyone.
When Fang walked into the yard, Shen Miao was about to push the door open and go in, but suddenly paused and glanced at the window.
“Jingzhe,” Shen Miao said, “Go boil some water first. I want to take a bath. Make it hot.”
Jingzhe was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement. Shen Miao pushed the door open and walked in, passing the outer hall, past the screen, and into her boudoir, closing the door behind her.
The light from the oil lamp flickered slightly, revealing a figure sitting crookedly at the table. His robes seemed to be a flowing dark gold, making the dark colors of the room appear radiant and dazzling. He propped his head up with one hand, and with the other, he was boredly flipping through the books on Shen Miao's desk. Hearing the noise, he casually turned his head, revealing a handsome face with red lips and white teeth.
"Why are you back so late?" Xie Jingxing was a little dissatisfied.
“I don’t think I invited you either.” Shen Miao looked at him calmly and said, “Thank you, young marquis.”
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows: "I'm already hungry."
Shen Miao: “Get lost.”
