Mother Hong said, rubbing her thumb and index finger together.
Mengyue looked at what Hong's mother was doing with her hands and she wasn't angry at all. Instead, she smiled a little.
Brothels have been men's dens of debauchery since ancient times. If you have the courage to step in, they will squeeze you dry and will not let you go easily.
However, she did not find Hong Mama's greed for money vulgar, but rather a little cute.
Yes, that's right, she is a little cute. She also knows that it is not appropriate to use this word to describe Lou Xi's mother, but she just thinks that the word cute is very appropriate for Hong's mother now.
Because she did not see greed for money in Hong Mama's eyes, when asking her for money, she had to be open and honest without any pretense.
This is also the reason why she did not refuse when Hong's mother asked her for money again and again.
Since she couldn't see Miss Yanran, she didn't want to force it. Wasn't there a better candidate right in front of her?
Being able to manage such a large brothel as Qunfang Pavilion, she believed that Mother Hong was definitely not as simple as she appeared.
So this time, Mengyue generously took out a silver note worth 10,000 taels and handed it to Mother Hong.
But what surprised her this time was that when Mother Hong saw the ten thousand taels of silver note, she did not immediately reach out to take it.
Mengyue thought that Hong Mama had changed her personality, but in fact, when Hong Mama saw the ten thousand taels of silver notes, her eyes lit up and she wanted to take it for herself immediately.
But her only rationality told her which kind of silver she should take and which kind of silver would be too hot to handle, so she forced herself to hold back.
However, the moment Mengyue took out the banknote, the jade pendant on her body fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Mengyue quickly picked up the jade pendant, and seeing that it was still intact, she put it back into her sleeve.
But the moment Mengyue picked up the jade pendant, Hong's mother saw the appearance of the jade pendant and her eyes widened.
She couldn't believe what she saw and rubbed her eyes with her hands again, but when she wanted to look again to confirm, Meng Yue had already put the jade pendant away.
So Hong's mother asked tentatively, "Sir, your jade pendant looks of good quality. It must be very valuable."
Mengyue nodded and said, "It's priceless to me."
Thinking of the calm look on Xie Ruiyuan's face when he gave her the jade pendant, she knew that the jade pendant must have a special meaning to Xie Ruiyuan, otherwise he would not wear it close to his body.
She accepted Xie Ruiyuan's personal jade pendant, and Xie Ruiyuan knew that she accepted him.
Normally, she kept the jade pendant in her space for safekeeping. Today, for some reason, she changed into men's clothes and thought that she should have a jade pendant as an accessory on her clothes.
So she took the jade pendant out of the space and tied it to her belt. After a second, she took it off again and put it in her sleeve.
Originally, she wanted to put the jade pendant in the space, because it would be safer there and would not be lost.
Even though she was confident in her skills and knew she wouldn't lose it if she held it herself, she just didn't want to take any chances.
This time when she was getting money from the space, she accidentally brought out the jade pendant. She didn't know what material the jade pendant was made of, but it was not damaged at all.
To be honest, even though she thought she was knowledgeable, she couldn't tell what material the jade pendant was made of. It was really hard to tell.
Sometimes she felt that Xie Ruiyuan was contradictory. He had priceless treasures on him, but he couldn't even take out a thousand taels of silver.
However, this also shows that Xie Ruiyuan privately aided many veterans, and the amount of money and food consumed every year was not a small amount.
Even if Xie Ruiyuan was as rich as a country, he would not be able to sustain it for a long time.
Mengyue picked up the jade pendant immediately when it fell, and did not notice anything unusual about Hong's mother.
