In the room, the woman in red's face suddenly changed when she heard the man's words.

She hurriedly opened the door to check, but there was no one outside.

Just a few meters away, at the stairs, her mortal enemy Sisi was arrogantly teaching a little girl of eight or nine years old a lesson.

I guess that girl was just bought and doesn’t know the rules. She doesn’t know that ordinary people are not qualified to go to the third floor.

She closed the door again and shook her head at the masked man.

"There is no suspicious person outside the door."

The man lowered his eyes and said nothing.

No one?

After thinking for a moment, he asked again.

"Who was that voice just now?"

Thinking of the man outside, the woman in red showed disdain.

"It's Sisi who's been very popular recently, and a little girl who was just bought back."

Chu Yaoyao was standing on Jing Xi's left, and because of the flower pot blocking her view, the woman couldn't see her.

"Oh."

Hearing this, the man chuckled and glanced up at her.

"In the limelight?"

"Now, let alone the Lanyue Pavilion, looking at the entire capital, who can compare with you in popularity?"

Hearing this, the red-dressed woman's expression froze, her face turned ugly, and her eyes were full of hatred and humiliation.

Thinking of the bright and elegant figure opposite her that she had just seen, she felt ashamed.

She is no longer worthy of that man...

When she thought of this, she felt unbearable heartache.

She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms, and the stinging sensation brought her back to her senses.

"Don't forget the deal between us. I just saw the Second Prince of Daqi and that stinky girl in Wantao Tower. I want you to kill them!"

The man who was looking through the intelligence paused when he heard this.

"Are you ordering me?"

Meeting his deep, bottomless gaze, the woman in red subconsciously took a step back with a hint of panic on her face.

"Don't you also regard the Daqi royal family as your mortal enemy? This is also helping yourself!"

The man in black stood up and walked to the window, standing with his hands behind his back.

"This is not your concern. Speaking of trading..."

The man glanced back at her and said disdainfully, "You may have forgotten that the one doing business with me is your master, not you."

The woman in red looked sullen and took a few steps forward angrily.

"I can't believe that the dignified owner of Shadow Building is such a shameless person who goes back on his word?!"

The man turned around suddenly, his figure swaying, so fast that people could only see a flash before their eyes. He came in front of her and grabbed her neck.

"Why, after being the courtesan Qianyun for a few days, have you forgotten your identity?"

"Don't forget who gave you a place to live!"

…

At the stairs on the third floor, Jing Xi quickly pulled Yaoyao and ran away as soon as he heard the sound, but he bumped into someone after only two steps.

"Where did this wild girl come from? How dare you come to the third floor!"

A woman with slightly exposed shoulders, holding a round fan, and dressed seductively blocked the two men's way.

The woman looked at the two sisters.

"How did the people down there do their job? They actually let a child in!"

At this moment, the servant who had received Mei Niang's order to come in and look after the two sisters came in late. When he saw the girl, he lowered his body and smiled apologetically:

"Don't be surprised, Sister Sisi. These two girls just arrived and don't know the rules."

"Oh? So it was just bought back."

Sisi looked at the two sisters quietly, and her eyes became more critical and contemptuous.

"Since you don't know the rules, you need to teach them more!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand.

Sensing her malicious intentions, Jing Xi stretched out his arms to protect Yaoyao.

The servant looked embarrassed and thought he would not have taken on this job if he had known.

One is Sister Sisi, who is favored by Mr. Qian, and the other is a little girl that the boss lady likes.

He can't afford to offend anyone!

Chu Yaoyao tilted her head back, staring at the girl named Sisi with her big eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering.

Suddenly, she stretched out her plump fingers.

"Your makeup..."

Hearing this, Sisi withdrew her hand and gently stroked her cheek with pride.

"Isn't it beautiful? This is the most popular peach blossom makeup in the city recently."

Then he looked at them impatiently and fanned them.

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you!"

Seeing this, Sisi glared at her and took a few steps forward.

"What's with that expression on your face? Are you disgusted by my makeup?! Do you think I'm not pretty?"

"But……"

Chu Yaoyao's eyebrows were getting tighter and tighter.

Sisi pressed on, staring at her intently, "But what?"

"My makeup is smudged. The corners of my eyes and nose are caked with powder!"

"What?!"

Sisi let out a scream of shock, then covered her face and hurried back to the room.

Seeing her looking like she was being chased by a wolf, Jing Xi was stunned.

One sentence can scare away the enemy.

My sister is so awesome!

Chu Yaoyao raised her little chin proudly.

[Sure enough, this trick has been used throughout history and has never failed! ]

"You two, come down now! Or I'll beat you up!"

The servant didn't dare to go up to the third floor, so he could only stand on the stairs on the second floor and scare them with his fists raised.

Thinking of what Sisi said, Chu Yaoyao's eyes turned and she looked at him with a smile.

With an innocent look, she stretched out her right index finger and hooked it at him.

"You, come up!"

Servant: ...

So angry!

If you have the guts, come down!

"Why are you still here? Don't you know that ordinary people can't come to the third floor?!"

"I think you guys just need a lesson!"

Of course, the one who said this was Sisi, who had packed up her things.

Chu Yaoyao clasped her arms, wanting to make a cool pose, but her arms were too short, so she could only cross them, which seriously lowered her aura.

She had no choice but to put her hands on her hips and look up at her.

"Mei Niang, big sister, you asked me to come here, do you have any objection?!"

"Is what she said true?" Sisi looked at the servant and asked sternly.

"This..." Xiao Si stood at the stairs between the second and third floors, sweating profusely in anxiety.

"What happened?"

Mei Niang walked up slowly, twisting her waist.

When he saw her, Xiao Si felt like he had seen a savior and almost burst into tears.

"Boss lady."

Mei Niang glanced at him, then waved her hand to let him go.

Useless thing, do you still know who the master is? ! "Sister Mei."

Sisi nodded perfunctorily, just as a greeting.

Seeing her behave like this, Mei Niang's face turned cold.

"You've only been on the third floor for a few days, and you're already causing trouble?"

Hearing this, Sisi looked surprised.

"Sister Mei, what do you mean?"

As she spoke, she stroked the jade hairpin on her hair and looked at Mei Niang proudly.

"Master Qian is coming today, and I just wanted to go out to greet him, but I didn't expect to run into these two sneaky little girls."

"The guests on the third floor are either rich or noble, and my sister is afraid that they will offend the nobles and cause trouble for our Lanyue Pavilion."

Glancing at the hairpin on her head, Mei Niang gritted her teeth.

She had once discussed that hairpin with Lord Qian, but now it was worn on this bitch's head.

It’s not that the hairpin is so expensive that she can’t afford it.

The key point is that this bitch is deliberately making trouble for her and wants to slap her in the face! "Sister Mei, this little girl said that you asked her to come up, is that true?"

Mei Niang narrowed her eyes and said in a cold tone, "Are you questioning me?!"

Chu Yaoyao also looked at her angrily.

[You two are fighting each other, why did you bring me and my cousin along? ]

[Don’t cue us, we don’t want to be part of your jealousy! ]

The sound of footsteps, so light that it was hardly noticeable, suddenly stopped, and the man in black suddenly looked at the small figure.

To be precise, it was her face.

These eyebrows...are so similar!
