Chapter 750: Chapter 750 Rolling Down the Stairs Chapter 750: Chapter 750 Rolling Down the Stairs “We tricked him out of so much silver, won’t he come for revenge?” Nanny Sun started to worry again.
“Weren’t you just happily clutching that silver note? Why are you worried now?” Xuexue couldn’t help teasing her.
“Oh dear! Master, with things the way they are, you shouldn’t be joking. Offending the Imperial Kinsmen is no small matter, how can you be so relaxed?” Nanny Sun expressed panic, as despite her age, she was not yet ready to die.
“Don’t worry, since I brought you from Jingshan Town to the Capital, I will ensure your safety.”
Xuexue paused then added, “I’ll give you a heads up; my enemy is among the Royal Family. If you are scared, you can return to Jingshan Town, and I absolutely won’t make things difficult for you.”
Nanny Sun and Miss Ruan were stunned.
“Master, you are so young, how did you make enemies with the Royal Family?” Nanny Sun asked incredulously.
“You don’t need to ask about everything, just know that I have an irreconcilable feud with the Royal Family. Running a brothel in the Capital is also to counter them. If you are scared, you can leave now.”
Without hesitation, Miss Ruan blurted out, “Subordinate is not afraid, willing to follow Master.”
“Good!” Xuexue was very pleased, she hadn’t misjudged them.
“Nanny Sun, what about you? If you don’t wish to stay, you can return to Jingshan Town, and I absolutely won’t make things difficult for you,” Xuexue said earnestly.
Nanny Sun bowed her head in thought, as if mustering great courage. Lifting her head, she looked at Xuexue and said, “If young Miss Ruan isn’t afraid, what do I have to fear at my age? If I die, I die.”
Xuexue laughed, “Don’t worry, no need to die, all of you are going to live well. Your daily jobs will only involve managing Qinger Building and gathering intelligence.”
“Don’t worry, Master, we will do well,” they promised.
Unknowingly, it had already reached the middle of the Zi Hour, and in a few more Shichen, daylight would break.
Xuexue stood up, “It’s late, I better return to the General’s Mansion.”
“We respectfully send off the Master.”
Dressed in men’s clothes and wearing yellow powder on her face, Xuexue looked every bit the handsome young man.
As she was descending the stairs, a noisy group ascended, Xuexue lowered her eyes to look…
It turned out to be Tang Jinghao, the only son of Prince Pu’s Mansion, leading a bunch of worthless friends upstairs.
This person, the absolute image of a wealthy and spoiled heir, relying on his family’s estates – he was usually incompetent and often bullied men and women. If not for Prince Pu cleaning up after him, he would have long been taken to the government office.
“Young Master Tang, the Oiran of Qinger Building is Miss Cheng, reportedly as beautiful as a flower, though her true face is seldom seen by many. Young Master Tang, with your influence, perhaps if you ask, she might light-heartedly undress for you.” After saying this, his worthless friends burst out in lewd laughter.
This was clearly a provocation.
Unfortunately, Tang Jinghao didn’t get it; he patted his chest and boasted magnanimously, “It’s just a woman! I have plenty of money to win her over.”
As Xuexue passed by them, walking straight without a glance sideways, she swiftly stretched out a leg from under her skirt and subtly tripped Tang Jinghao.
“Ouch!” Tang Jinghao, who was spewing nonsense, hadn’t realised he’d been sabotaged. He felt a void underfoot and the next moment, his body heavily crashed down the stairs, making a loud noise, and he tumbled down like a deflating balloon…
