Qing'er grabbed the money bag tightly: "Miss, didn't you tell me not to waste money on people who aren't worth it?"
Mu Jin nodded, but was still pondering.
"But I want to see Shen Qianqian's face turn like she'd eaten shit when she sees me giving those beautiful women to Su Yuntian. After all, she's the one who caused me to get slapped by Su Yuntian."
Qing'er said, "That's easy. We can go to Qiushui Garden and choose a beautiful maid to become a concubine. That will make Shen Qianqian angry. Why spend a lot of money to buy these dancers? Miss should keep some money for her dowry if she divorces and remarries in the future."
Mu Jin nodded. She agreed with Qing'er's assessment, and realized that she had only acted on a whim. Looking at the beautiful dancers in the distance, she truly felt sorry for Su Yuntian.
At this moment, a young master in the next private seat, who was commenting on the dancers below the stage, suddenly turned around when he heard the person next to him mention Su Yuntian's name.
Although the private rooms of "Zuiyuelou" are separated by screens, anyone who is observant can still see the person next door through the openwork of the screen if they turn slightly to the side.
The surname Su is the imperial surname, which can only be used by members of the royal family. Among the royal family, the only one named Su Yuntian is Su Muxue's third brother, who is also dressed as a man, sneaked out of the palace, and is currently watching a play at Zuiyue Tower.
When Su Muxue saw Mu Jin, she stood up in disbelief and went straight to Mu Jin's private room. Just as she was about to reach out and grab Mu Jin, she was quickly stopped by Eleven.
Seeing that she was being blocked, Su Muxue anxiously pushed Eleven with her hand and called out to Mu Jin, "Third Sister-in-law, it's me, Muxue!"
Mu Jin looked at Su Muxue with a puzzled expression.
Qing'er finally recognized Su Muxue and quickly pulled Eleven away, saying, "Princess, please forgive me. I didn't recognize you just now. I was very rude."
After saying that, he quickly whispered Su Muxue's identity into Mu Jin's ear.
Su Muxue, noticing this, said, "Please rise. It's inconvenient to be so polite when you're traveling."
Then he plopped down next to Mu Jin.
"I never expected Third Sister-in-law to come to a place like this. Aren't you afraid Third Brother will find out?"
Mu Jin smiled slightly: "The most important thing is to be happy. Why worry about so much else?"
Su Muxue said in surprise, "Third sister-in-law, don't try to fool me. You used to be like a rabbit in front of third brother."
Mu Jin squinted and said, "Didn't you also say it was before?"
Su Muxue was half-believing and half-doubting, but then she suddenly thought of something and moved closer to Mu Jin, saying, "You don't really want to divorce Third Brother, do you?"
Mu Jin looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked, "What do you mean?"
Su Muxue's eyes widened: "Judging from your expression, it seems you really are? No wonder that day in Father's study, I overheard Consort De mentioning to Father about your divorce from Su Yuntian."
"What did the Emperor say?"
Su Muxue took a peeled pine nut from in front of Mu Jin and ate it: "He didn't say anything. Father didn't express his opinion. This matter is of great importance. How can it be resolved so simply with just a few words from Consort De?"
Mu Jin nodded and said.
Su Muxue looked Mu Jin up and down.
"Third Sister-in-law, how come I never noticed before that you look just as handsome as me when you dress as a man? Since you also enjoy going to the theater, how about we arrange to work together sometime?"
Mu Jin looked at the beautiful dancers on the stage but did not give Su Muxue a direct answer.
"Is the Emperor aware that you've come out of the palace to watch a play in such a place?"
Su Muxue forced a smile: "Hehe, you don't need to worry about that. This princess has her own way. Anyway, today I found that we are like-minded and equally beautiful. We should visit each other often from now on."
Mu Jin thought to herself that Su Muxue looked a few years older than her, but she was still innocent and far beyond the marriageable age of this era. If it weren't for the Emperor's extreme favor towards her, he wouldn't have allowed her to stay in the palace at this age without having to get married.
Just as Mu Jin was about to answer Su Muxue, she saw Su Muxue staring downstairs, then suddenly, as if she had seen a ghost, she yanked down the palace servant who had come with her, quickly lifted the tablecloth next to Mu Jin, and crawled inside.
Just as Mu Jin and the other two were completely confused, they heard Su Muxue say in a low voice quickly.
"Fifth Brother is here, Third Sister-in-law, please don't say I was hiding under the table."
Before long, Su Yi went up to the second floor, directly opened the door to the private room to Mu Jin's right, and saw that the tea inside was still steaming. He couldn't help but snort coldly and was about to leave when he found that Mu Jin was actually sitting in the private room next door, which surprised him.
Mu Jin was watching Ji Zi singing a little tune downstairs while tapping her fingers on the table to the rhythm of the song, looking quite pleased with herself.
Su Yi then walked into Mu Jin's private room with a wicked and arrogant smile on his face.
Qing'er tugged at Eleven and gave Su Yi a greeting: "Greetings, Your Majesty Yi!"
Su Yi raised his hand with his fan and said, "No need for formalities."
As he approached Mu Jin from behind, he glanced at the corner of Mu Jin's clothes peeking out from under the tea table, and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
"What a coincidence! I can't believe I ran into you here, sister-in-law. If it weren't for the fact that this is the first time I've seen you dressed like this, I wouldn't have recognized you."
Upon hearing Su Yi's words, Mu Jin couldn't help but think that this wasn't the first time Su Yi had seen her dressed as a man. When she first saved him, wasn't she dressed as a man?
Thinking back to the unpleasant experience of their first meeting, Mu Jin couldn't help but frown again.
Seeing Mu Jin frown slightly, Su Yi realized he shouldn't have brought up their first meeting. Not wanting to upset Mu Jin, he quickly changed the subject.
"Does your sister-in-law usually like to come to places like this?"
Mu Jin glanced at Su Yi, then turned to the dancers downstairs and said, "This is my first time here."
Su Yi, acting as if they were old friends, sat down in the chair next to Mu Jin. As he sat down, Su Yi stepped on the corner of his clothes that was peeking out from under the tea table.
