"No, I still have matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave first." Zhuang Ziqing tactfully rejected Nanhai's good intentions. She respectfully retreated a few steps to the side, making way for him.
Nanhai bluntly strode away.
When Sihan passed by Zhuang Ziqing, she felt Zhuang Ziqing glance at her as if she was thinking about something. Sihan was secretly shocked, looking at Zhuang Ziqing without leaving a trace, but what she saw was Zhuang Ziqing's back.
Sihan was secretly puzzled. Could it be that there was something wrong with her feelings? Just now she had felt as if someone was watching her closely. She looked away and walked on.
Just as Sihan retracted her thread, Zhuang Ziqing turned her head and looked deeply at Sihan. However, Sihan had lowered her eyes and did not see the contemplative look that Zhuang Ziqing had in her eyes.
Zhuang Ziqing stood where she was, looking at the backs of the three people of South Sea City as they left.
"Sir, the Chief Patrol Officer has ordered that no one is to enter the dungeon." A middle-aged soldier stood behind Zhuang Ziqing and reported to him.
Zhuang Ziqing's expression immediately changed. He stared coldly at the back of Nanhai, his hands tightly clenched inside his sleeves.
"Do you think that what Liang Yuqi heard from Carmen was true?" ZhiNing asked Sihan once again.
"It's hard to say. At that time, Liang Yuqi was almost unconscious. It is very likely that he heard wrongly. " Sihan indifferently replied to Zhining.
Zhining let out a deep sigh, "Looks like we should make a trip to Qingxin Tower tonight."
At night.
Sinking Heart Pavilion.
Tonight, Qingxin House was still full of people. The tickets had been sold out before the sky had turned dark.
Aunt Mei was sitting at the table in the hall, counting the silver notes. Her eyes were shining with excitement.
Bing-Er was wearing a purple conservative dress and a purple veil. She slowly walked to the table and sat opposite Aunt Mei.
When Aunt Mei saw Bing'er sitting across from her, she immediately put away the smile on her face. She smiled at Bing'er and extended her hand to signal the two maidservants behind her to put away the silver notes.
The two maidservants immediately understood and hurriedly went forward to collect all the silver notes on the table.
How could Bing'er not know? Aunt Mei was afraid of how much money she would earn every day. Once 100,000 taels of silver was paid, she would leave Qingxin Tower. If that happened, how was Qingxin Tower supposed to earn money?
She calmly sat to the side and watched as the two maidservants put away all the silver notes on the table, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
Aunt Mei looked at Bing-Er secretly. When she saw Bing-Er sitting opposite to her with a calm face, she couldn't help wondering if she didn't care that Bing-Er had already earned a hundred thousand taels of silver for her.
When the two maidservants had put away all the silver notes, Bing'er told Little Yun, "Bring a pot of cold tea."
Little Yun looked at Bing'er and then left.
Bing-Er leaned back in her chair, narrowed her eyes, grabbed the peanuts on the table and stuffed them into her mouth one by one. She said slowly, "I've been here for more than half a month, and I've been selling 200 tickets in one day, each one worth 100 taels of silver. That is to say, 20 thousand taels of silver was earned by just relying on tickets, which is 300,000 taels of silver in 15 days.
Aunt Mei's face turned extremely ugly. "Aren't you illiterate?"
Bing'er threw the peanut into the plate and clapped her hands to prevent the salt from sticking to her hands. "I can't read, but I never said I don't know how to!" When she passed Aunt Mei, she turned around and looked at her. There was a pleased smile on her face, as if she could not hide it from me. "Even if you count the money in the room, I will still be able to tell how much money you have earned."
Aunt Mei's expression became extremely ugly again, but she couldn't do anything. She could only look at Bing-Er with gritted teeth. When Bing-Er turned around, her eyes were filled with coldness.
"Lady Bing'er, this pot of tea." Xiao Yun looked at Bing'er with a cup of tea.
Bing'er half turned around and looked at Aunt Mei who was sitting on the chair. She said sarcastically, "Bring it to Aunt Mei. Aunt Mei really needs cold tea to cool the fire right now."
Little Yun looked at Bing'er, and then lowered her head, "Yes." As she spoke, she carried a cup of cold tea towards Aunt Mei's direction.
"Aunt Mei, please have some tea." Little Yun placed the tray on the table and poured a cup of cold tea for Aunt Mei and placed it in front of Aunt Mei. However, when she put the teacup in front of Aunt Mei again, she accidentally shook her hand. The tea spilled out from the cup and splashed on Aunt Mei's expensive dress.
Aunt Mei gritted her teeth as she looked at Bing'er's back as she ascended the stairs, and then at the teacup in front of her. Aunt Mei gritted her teeth as she looked at Bing'er as she ascended the stairs, and then looked at the teacup in front of her.
A clear five-finger mark appeared on Little Yun's face.
Bing-Er stopped and turned around. She was covering her face with her hands to look at the wronged Little Yun and then looked at Aunt Mei coldly. Aunt Mei was looking at Bing-Er provokingly.
Bing'er slowly walked down the stairs and walked in front of Aunt Mei, looking at her without fear. She asked her in a neither humble nor haughty manner, "Aunt Mei, Little Yun is my personal maidservant, and everyone knows about her. Yet, you beat up one of my men in the hall, which means Aunt Mei doesn't even put Bing'er in her eyes."
The provocative look on Aunt Mei's face disappeared as she forced a smile on her face and stepped forward to please Bing'er, "How can that be?" "No matter who Aunt Mei dares to leave, she won't chase you away!" Then, she intentionally glanced at Little Yun, who was covering her face with her hands, "Little Yun, this maidservant doesn't always do things so smoothly. Aunt Mei is helping you teach her a lesson."
Bing'er ignored the hypocritical look on Aunt Mei's face and walked up to Little Yun. Looking at her swollen face with a pained expression, she asked unhappily, "Even if I were to teach Little Yun a lesson, Aunt Mei, aren't you a little too harsh on her?"
"A maid like her won't have much memory if she isn't viciously beaten up." Aunt Mei took over Bing'er's words.
"Little Yun is one of my people, when I teach her a lesson in the future, I won't bother Aunt Mei anymore." Bing'er said lightly to Aunt Mei.
Aunt Mei was speechless. She looked at Bing-Er silently with an ugly face.
Bing'er reached out her hand to hold Little Yun's hand, and walked past Aunt Mei to the second floor. She completely ignored Aunt Mei's unsightly expression.
As soon as he entered the room, Little Yun withdrew her hand from Bing'er's, and lowered her head, saying, "Miss Bing'er, thank you." "You offended Aunt Mei because of me."
Bing'er patted Little Yun's shoulder lightly, "It's nothing, don't worry about it." Next time, you have to be more careful. "
"Right." Xiao Yun nodded.
While she was talking, Bing-Er's belly was growling. She lowered her head and pointed at it, "It's hungry again."
"This servant will get you something to eat." Little Yun turned around and left the room.
