Chapter 366: Subjugating Pei Lang (1)
"There are thousands of people in this world, and thousands of professions. Everyone has their own way of living. For me, I don't think that prostitutes are inferior to others, but that's how the world sees them." Shen Miao said, "Just like my Mo guard, he's also a slave, but no one looks down on him. Some people even envy my personal maids. This is how the world works. People are divided into different classes. Who doesn't want to be the best? Who wants to be criticized every day?"
"You!" What Liuying hated most was someone using her background as a prostitute to make trouble for her. She was extremely angry when she heard that.
Shen Miao said: “You might as well think about it carefully.”
"Miss, since you look down on those who have fallen into prostitution, why do you have to say such things to me." Liuying laughed instead of getting angry.
“What I look down upon are those who are willing to fall into the dust of the world.” Shen Miao stood up and said, “Guard Mo will come again in a few days. Miss Liuying does not need to rush to answer me. However… using beauty to please others has never had a good ending.”
Shen Miao winked at Mo Qing, who quickly took out a silver ingot and placed it on the table. Liu Ying glanced at him, a hint of irritation on her face. Mo Qing was also embarrassed. Shen Miao didn't intend to stay long, so she nodded to Liu Ying and stood up to leave. She didn't know what Liu Ying looked like behind her.
After leaving Baoxianglou, Jingzhe said indignantly, "Gu... Young Master had good intentions in wanting to redeem her, but she was so ungrateful. It's really true that good intentions don't go unrewarded."
Mo Qing wanted to say something, but in the end he held it back.
Guyu asked, "Miss, are we going back now?"
Chen Miao did not answer, her body remained motionless. Gu Yu was a little surprised, seeing that Chen Miao seemed to be looking at something, and followed her gaze, and saw that the place she was looking at was the corner across the street. There stood a man in green clothes, looking at the small building of Baoxiang Tower.
Before Guyu could open his mouth, he saw Shen Miao walking towards that direction.
Beneath the eaves, a man in green stood erect, his gaze fixed on the direction of the Firefly Cottage. He was so absorbed in his observation that he didn't even notice the approaching figures. A light cough interrupted his train of thought, and he saw four people standing before him. The young man in the lead, dressed in a moon-white robe, had delicate features and a delicate complexion. He was a young man from an unknown family. He looked at him with a faint smile on his face.
Pei Lang was startled, feeling that this young man looked familiar. The young man nodded at him and said, "Mr. Pei."
"Chen Miao!" Pei Lang's eyes widened slightly. He looked at the attendants and guards behind Shen Miao, then looked at Shen Miao again, perhaps a little shocked, and said, "Why...are you dressed like this?"
It wasn't uncommon for women to disguise themselves as men. In Mingqi, many young ladies would occasionally wear men's clothing for convenience when going out, and they looked quite charming when they dressed up. But Shen Miao... Pei Lang looked at the elegant young man in front of him and didn't know what to say.
“I just came out of Baoxiang Tower.” Shen Miao said.
Pei Lang suddenly started coughing, his face turning red. Women disguising themselves as men were not uncommon, but this was the first time he had heard of one visiting a brothel disguised as a man. Yet, Shen Miao acted completely frank, without a trace of shyness.
Shen Miao suddenly took a step forward, approaching Pei Lang. With a snap, she unfolded the folding fan in her hand, shielding their faces. She whispered through the fan, "Everyone says the girls at Baoxianglou are the most stunning beauties in the world, so I went for a look around. They've recently added many new Persian dancers, each one incredibly charming."
Even though Pei Lang was calm and composed in public, and could handle dignitaries with ease, he was a little overwhelmed by Shen Miao's slightly ambiguous actions. Moreover, the messy things Shen Miao said made him suddenly have an illusion, as if the person in front of him was really the young man who roamed around the palace and slept with prostitutes, and was discussing with him which dancer was more beautiful.
