Shen Miao sighed and said, “Second Brother is busy with court affairs all day. How can he have the time for relationships.”
Jing Chuchu was deep in thought, so Shen Miao did not say anything. Seeing that Shen Qiu wasn’t going to come back anytime soon, Jing Chuchu felt a little ill-at-ease and left.
After Jing Chuchu left, Shen Qiu came over and looked at Shen Miao carefully for a while before saying, “Sister, why are you acting strange today?”
“How am I strange?” Shen Miao said angrily, “Brother, are you angry that I interrupted you from eating your cousin’s snacks just now?”
“That’s not what I mean.” Shen Qiu was so anxious to explain that his face turned red. However, Shen Miao waved her hand and said indifferently, “Forget it, but you’ve come of age now, and a lot of girls are coveting you. You have to open your eyes wide when you choose a future wife.”
Shen Qiu understood what she meant. He said helplessly, “Sister, what are you talking about? That’s not what Cousin wants. She’s just here to deliver some snacks.”
“If you really like her, eat all you want.” After saying that, Shen Miao left without looking back. After coming back to the capital this time, Shen Qiu had never seen Shen Miao so angry at him. He was shocked and watched as Shen Miao walked away.
On the way back to the house, Gu Yu asked, “Miss, do you not like your cousin? Otherwise, why would you be so angry?”
“Yes, I don’t like her.” Shen Miao rubbed her forehead. She really hated Jing Chuchu to the core. Shen Qiu was such a dignified and upright person, but she made a cuckold out of him, caused him to break his legs, and drove him to kill the adulterer. Shen Miao wished she could skin Jing Chuchu alive. However, Shen Qiu was a kind person by nature and did not know that people could be so evil. Seeing that Shen Qiu was almost bewitched by Jing Chuchu again in this life, Shen Miao was furious.
“But Miss, didn’t you tell her about Second Young Master?” Gu Yu said, “Perhaps she will turn to please Second Young Master.” While talking with Jing Chuchu just now, Shen Miao didn’t deliberately avoid the maids. Gu Yu could tell what Shen Miao meant.
Shen Miao shook her head. “She’s not stupid. If she can be convinced by me just like that, she won’t be Jing Chuchu anymore.” Shen Miao smiled. “But we’ll see.”
The maids were a little puzzled, not understanding why Shen Miao was so wary of this timid and weak-looking cousin.
…
The Treasure Fragrance Chamber was the largest brothel in the capital. If brothels were divided into different grades, then the Treasure Fragrance Chamber would definitely be the top one. Any girl from it could outshine all the other girls in other brothels.
Because of that, the girls in the Treasure Fragrance Chamber were also the most expensive.
The beautiful girls at the door waved their handkerchiefs to attract the passers-by. A man in armor walked in, catching the attention of the girls.
The people who could afford to come to the Treasure Fragrance Chamber were either rich or noble, and most of them were young masters of rich families or officials. However, the man who just came in did not seem to be from a rich family, and the murderous aura on his body made the girls not dare to approach him. Until a middle-aged woman in a red dress walked out and smiled when she saw him. “Young Master Mo, you’re here again? Are you still looking for Liu Ying today?”
Mo Qing nodded and took out a banknote from his pocket and handed it to her. The woman took the banknote and smiled in satisfaction. “Young Master, follow me in. I’ll bring you upstairs now. Liu Ying has been waiting for you for the past few days.”
Mo Qing suppressed the discomfort in his heart and followed her upstairs with a calm expression.
