Chapter 434 Heartache
Qin Huiyin walked into the cabin and smelled a strong smell of blood as soon as she reached the door.
Puyang Qiubai walked out weakly, dressed in silver clothes with loose long hair, and his handsome face was pale and haggard, as if he would fall down at the next moment.
"Be careful." Qin Huiyin saw him stagger and quickly supported him. "Your body is so cold, I'll take you to see a doctor."
Puyang Qiubai shook his head and smiled weakly: "No, it's okay, just rest for a few days and you'll be fine."
"You lost so much blood, and you still say it's okay?"
"With a background like mine, I'm used to this kind of thing. Girl, you shouldn't have come here." Puyang Qiubai smiled bitterly, "I thought you didn't understand the first time, but your family should have told you afterwards that this kind of place is not a good place. Why are you here again today? Go back quickly, and don't come to this kind of place again."
"Mr. Bai is an unparalleled zither player. Is there anything wrong with me coming here to listen to his music? This is your flower boat, and there is no one else here, so why can't I come?"
"What a naive little girl." Puyang Qiubai said helplessly, "Well, since you like my piano, I will play it for you. But don't come again in the future."
"You are injured like this today, why are you still playing the piano? I will take you to see a doctor."
Song Yi couldn't stand it anymore and said to Qin Huiyin, "Second Miss, he is just a prostitute. Don't worry about him. Let's get off the boat quickly. If the two masters find out, we will lose our lives."
"Yes, I am a lowly prostitute. The girl is from a wealthy family, so there is no benefit in getting involved with me."
Qin Huiyin frowned and said, "I don't think anyone is forcing you. With your piano skills, you can definitely support yourself. Why don't you change to another profession?"
"Young lady, you overestimate my ability. How can I achieve what I want if I have to drift in the secular world for a day?"
"Let's not talk about this for now. I'll take you to see a doctor and get you back on track. If you need to make some money, come and be my pianist. I just want to learn how to play the piano."
"Second Miss..." Song Yiyi thought to herself, 'She's dead, she's dead' after hearing what Qin Huiyin said.
They had already taken a huge risk by secretly coming to Love Lake to find a man today. If they brought him back, they might not even be able to keep his body intact.
Puyang Qiubai looked at the little girl in front of him. Her eyes were full of sincere worry and heartache. There was no worldly thought or greed in them. She just simply felt sorry for his experience.
"I have customers later, so please leave quickly, girl, and don't disturb me from making money." Puyang Qiubai's expression darkened and his face turned cold.
Such a pure little girl should not be dragged into this quagmire of mine. It is better to keep her away from me.
"You are in this state now, how can you still get customers? I will give you double the money that customer gave you." Qin Huiyin became even more worried after hearing what he said.
"Miss, you are so concerned about me. Could it be that you are attracted to my face like them? If so, I would be happy to give myself to you. After all, compared to those old, ugly guests with strange tastes, it would be a pleasure for me to have a romantic moment with a young and beautiful woman like you." Puyang Qiubai said frivolously.
Qin Huiyin: "...Actually, you are not very suitable for such frivolous behavior, because you look too upright, just like..."
Rich flower.
Yes! His temperament is that of a rich lady, definitely not the vulgarity of a prostitute.
Puyang Qiubai: "..."
"You can really consider my proposal. You can be my musician. I will pay you 20 taels of silver per month, and I can also arrange your food and accommodation. How about that?"
Song Yi and Song Er: "..."
The second young lady didn't seem like a good person who would just do good things easily, so why was she so enthusiastic about this man on the flower boat? Was she really attracted by his face and body?
"Ahem, since the young lady is not in the mood to listen to the music today, then get off the boat!" Puyang Qiubai said to the boatman, "Send the young lady back to the shore."
The flower boat came to the shore. Puyang Qiubai made a gesture of invitation, signaling Qin Huiyin to go ashore.
Qin Huiyin looked at Puyang Qiubai and went ashore.
As soon as she got ashore, when she looked back, the flower boat had already left.
"Miss, this man doesn't know what's good for him. Don't bother with him anymore. Miss, don't see him again. He is not a decent person. Be careful that the two masters know about this and cause trouble for him. Miss also knows the two masters' style of doing things. If they set their sights on this young man, I'm afraid his days on the flower boat in the Love Lake will become even more difficult." Song Yi reminded.
"Don't tell anyone about what happened today." Qin Huiyin listened.
"As long as the young lady doesn't come here again, we will certainly not tell anyone else. But, if the young lady comes here again, we can't keep it a secret." Song Er complained.
"Let's go back!"
Puyang Qiubai stood at the bow and watched the slender figure disappear completely before he went back into the cabin.
The captain held him and said worriedly, "Sir, your injury..."
Puyang Qiubai took out a bottle of medicine from his bosom, raised his head and drank it, saying, "It's OK. I won't die."
"Sir, there was such a strong smell of blood just now. Will the girl find out something? We just let her go..."
"If you dare to touch her, you'll be waiting for me to collect her body tomorrow!" Puyang Qiubai said calmly, "The first time I saw her, the man next to her was Song Ruize, the commander of the military department. The second time I saw her, the man next to her was Tang Yichen, the chief censor. This little girl may seem harmless, but she is not a simple girl."
"The commander of the military department and the chief censor are not important figures. Even if we offend them, it won't be a big deal, right?"
"The commander of the Military Affairs Department is not a high-ranking official, but he has a dark network in his hands. He controls the details of 80% of the officials in the entire court. The Chief Censor is indeed not that scary, but he has the emperor's support behind him, otherwise the only son of Prince Zhong would not have been sent to the border as cannon fodder."
"I really didn't expect that this little girl has such a powerful backer behind her."
"Her biggest backer is herself. Do you know the military factory that appeared in recent years? It's very mysterious. The weapons, armor and all the supplies of the military are produced by the military factory, and she is the creator of this military factory. And her food industry has spread all over the country and is making a fortune every day."
"Since she is so important, why don't you go with the flow and make friends with her? Maybe we can get the blueprints of the military factory?"
Puyang Qiubai chuckled: "Who knows? Maybe..."
"My lord, have you softened your heart?"
"Don't you think she looks a lot like someone?" Puyang Qiu said calmly, "Such a blessed little girl should live a clean life."
