Chapter 110 Whose Meanting Is This?
"Such a disgrace to the royal family deserves to die."
A person walked in from outside the door, and none of the officials from the Court of Imperial Clan Affairs outside stopped him, whether they were powerless to stop him or dared not.
"Greetings, Your Highness Prince Yan." Qin Mo was still sizing up the burly man who was even bigger than Qin Yumu when Qin Yuanmo quickly bowed and paid his respects.
Qin Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately followed suit and bowed, saying, "Zi Qin Mo greets Your Highness, Prince Yan."
"Forget it! I'm just here to watch the show. I heard that a troublesome fellow has emerged in the clan, so I came to see for myself. Hmm! He is indeed quite handsome."
Qin Mo stared, mouth agape, at the rugged, square face of Prince Yan, Qin Mu, utterly bewildered by his words. The first half could be interpreted as mixed praise or criticism, but was the second half an insult? "I'm not just beautiful, I'm handsome, okay?"
"Your Highness, Prince Yan, you have killed many beasts. Can you please stop judging people by their appearance?" Faced with this big boss of the imperial military, Qin Mo could only helplessly put up a fight.
"What Prince Yan? You should call me Uncle. If you hadn't done a good job in the North, do you think I would have allowed you to act so recklessly here?" Qin Mu sat down in the main seat with an air of authority, leaving Qin Yuanmo and Qin Mo to stand aside, neither daring to sit on equal footing with him.
Although Prince Qin Mu of Yan appears to be in his forties, he is actually nearly a hundred years old, several decades older than Qin Mo's deceased father, Qin Lan. He is a veteran of three reigns in the Great Xia Dynasty and the undisputed number one military figure.
Qin Mo muttered to herself, "My uncles and aunts are all so powerful, why do I still encounter so much unfair treatment? Could it really be the Emperor...?"
“Yuanmo! You’ve lived for sixty years, yet you’re still trying to smooth things over in this matter? It’s true that the reputation of my royal family is important, but should the rules of my Great Xia army be changed for the sake of Qin Xiaoren alone?” Qin Mu seemed rude, but his words were reasonable and well-founded, making Qin Yuanmo feel ashamed.
"Uncle, actually Qin Yuanmo only just learned about my uncle Qin Xiaoren's matter. He originally came to hear my case, but I only came to reclaim my father's inheritance." Qin Mo had no choice but to speak up to help the old man Qin, who was looking completely embarrassed.
"You're no better. How could you make such a big fuss about a dilapidated house? Weren't you just trying to take advantage of the situation and sue the Central Military Commission as well? Do you think I'm blind?" Qin Mu's demeanor changed, from the dignified Prince of Great Xia to a brazen old man.
“Uncle, you are wise. Chen Xuanji made things difficult for me first, withholding my military merit rewards. Many of my men died in this northern expedition. How can I swallow this insult? Am I still a member of the royal family as the heir of the Prince of Heng?”
Qin Mo's status was theoretically far higher than Chen Xuan's, yet he suffered such a calamity. It's no wonder he harbored resentment and unleashed this vicious attack.
Qin Mu straightened his posture and said seriously, "Yes, you are a member of the royal family. I will go and reason with him first. If you ever feel wronged in the future, just come to my residence. I will definitely stand up for you. Don't be willful and act recklessly anymore."
"Thank you, Uncle." Qin Mo was overjoyed and bowed deeply in gratitude. Qin Mu had made his stance clear: if anyone tried to make things difficult for Qin Mo in the future, they would have to think twice before trying to withstand the wrath of the military's top official.
"Uncle, I have a young daughter who is not yet thirty years old. She has achieved success in cultivation. How about you two... meet her?" Qin Mu's demeanor changed again, and he smiled lewdly and mischievously at the extremely embarrassed Qin Mo.
If there were a brothel in the capital, many would claim to be the largest. But the brothel that dared to be the most pretentious was always the Xianglou.
In other brothels, the most important thing is always how much money the customers have. But in brothels, it's different. Whether or not to take customers depends entirely on the girls' mood, or as long as the girls are willing to pay, the madam doesn't care at all.
Of course, if you want to enter a brothel but lack money and talent, it's best not to humiliate yourself. Most of the girls in the brothel are daughters of disgraced officials, from respectable families, and their education and experience are top-notch. Trying to seduce them with a few sweet words is almost impossible.
A guest arrived at Jinxianglou. He couldn't compose poems or write couplets, and he wasn't dressed in fine silks and satins, yet he was surrounded by a group of girls.
"Young master, are you here to meet friends or to listen to music?"
"Are you alone, young master? Shall I keep you company?"
Qin Mo looked at the girls around her. They were all beautiful and reserved, but their fiery eyes made Qin Mo feel helpless. She had come to seek mercy, not to drink and roam. What a pity!
"I'm looking for Miss Qing Ning."
"Miss Qingning? Sister Qingning doesn't receive guests! May I ask how you should address me, young master? We can pass on your greetings."
After Qin Mo mentioned Qing Ning's name, the girls stopped teasing her and began to scrutinize her.
"My name is... Phoenix Eyes." Qin Mo didn't know if anyone here knew him, but if he said his name, more people would definitely gather around to watch him.
All the girls stared blankly into Qin Mo's eyes, some even making their cherry lips curl into an "O" shape. How could eyes that were clearly starry sky appear as phoenix eyes?
However, some people still went to the back, apparently to inform Qin Mo. The others didn't leave, but instead led Qin Mo to a seat, served her fragrant tea, and continued to gaze at the handsome man.
"Does Qing Ning live here regularly? I saw her outside a few days ago." Qin Mo, having nothing better to do, started to probe for information.
"Sister Qingning is in charge of us, but she rarely appears. She only comes out when there's something to do." The oldest girl was already infatuated and was completely unprepared for Qin Mo's question.
"Who is that girl who is so close to Sister Qingning? The tall one with fair skin?"
