The bawd’s eyes lit up, and she immediately snatched the banknote from Mo Qing’s hand. As if afraid that he would go back on his word, she smiled and said, “Since you like them, it’s their blessing. I’ll go get their contract now. However, you have to remember not to let anyone recognize these two girls. Otherwise, if the brothel is in trouble, you will also be in trouble.”
Even if Yan Mei and Shui Bi didn’t eat or drink and accepted customers until they died of old age, they probably wouldn’t be able to make back half of 100 taels. The bawd here cared only about money, so there was no reason for her to let this chance go. However, she was also worried that if others found out, especially the owner of the two girls, she would be in trouble. Now, she had to pretend that the two girls were dead.
When the bawd happily went to get Yanmei and Shuibi, Mo Qing felt a little regretful. A hundred taels of silver was not a small sum of money. Jingzhe had exchanged it for an entire box of jewelry to free two maids. Shen Miao was too generous. Mo Qing thought about it and shook his head disapprovingly.
On the opposite building, a man in black appeared in front of the window and said, “Master, I’ve found out. That person is a guard of the Shen family. The two maids he bought were once the personal maids of the second daughter of the Shen family. It seems that someone wants to plant spies in the second branch, but the person behind it is unknown.”
He actually heard the entire conversation between Mo Qing, Yanmei, and Shuibi. Clearly, this person was extremely skilled. Otherwise, even Mo Qing would have noticed that he was being eavesdropped on.
Gao Yang narrowed his eyes. “It seems like the Shen family isn’t very peaceful either.”
“Master, do you want me to investigate who is behind it?” The man in black asked the purple-clothed youth.
“No need. I know who the person is.” Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows.
“You know?” Gao Yang looked at him. “Who is the person?”
Who was the person? Xie Jingxing smiled, his eyes deep. Shen Miao had found a guard who was skilled in martial arts. Although he was not as good as his subordinates, he was enough to deal with the people in the Shen family. It seemed like she was planning to make a move by buying off the two maids.
However, this had nothing to do with him.
“Mountain Wolf.” Xie Jingxing said, “Send a message to Yu Shu and ask him to return to the capital quickly.”
“You…” Gao Yang looked serious. “Why did you ask him to come back? ”
......
“Strike first,” the young man said indifferently.
… .
As time passed, the General’s Mansion seemed to have returned to its usual peace.
Shen Miao had been grounded for a long time, and she hadn’t been to Guangwen Hall for the past few days. Gu Yu and Jingzhe were afraid that she would miss her homework, but Shen Miao didn’t take it to heart. What was the use of learning useless poems and songs in Guangwen Hall?
If there was anything to be happy about, it was probably that Yan Mei and Shuibi finally met their friends. Chun Tao, Yan Mei’s sister, had been wanting to avenge her sister ever since she found out that Yan Mei had been sold to the brothel. Unfortunately, her status was low, and she was powerless. Now that she had met Yan Mei and found out that her sister was fine, she agreed without a word to Mo Qing that she would tell him what he wanted to know. Coincidentally, after Yan Mei and Shubi left, Shen Qing had no maids. Seeing that Chun Tao was smart, Ren Wanyun gave her to Shen Qing to be her maid. This way, it would be easier for her to know every move of the second branch.
