“You!” What Liu Ying hated the most was people talking about her background as a brothel girl. Hearing this, she was even angrier.
Shen Miao said, “Why don’t you think about it?”
“Miss, since you look down on brothel girls, why do you have to waste your breath on me?” Liu Ying smiled instead of flaring up.
“What I look down on is people who are willing to become brothel girls.” Shen Miao stood up and said, “In a few days, Guard Mo will come again. Miss Liu Ying, you don’t have to be in a hurry to answer me. However… nothing good will come of selling your body.”
Shen Miao gave Mo Qing a look. Mo Qing quickly took out a silver ingot and placed it on the table. Liu Ying glanced at him, looking a little angry. Mo Qing was also very embarrassed. Shen Miao did not intend to stay long. She nodded at Liu Ying and stood up to leave.
After leaving the Treasure Fragrance Chamber, Jingzhe said indignantly, “Miss wanted to buy her freedom out of goodwill, but I didn’t expect her to be so ungrateful. It’s really a waste of time to be kind to her.”
Mo Qing wanted to say something, but in the end, he thought better of it.
Gu Yu asked, “Miss, are we going back now?”
Shen Miao did not answer and did not move. Gu Yu was a little puzzled. She saw that Shen Miao seemed to be looking at something and followed her gaze to see that she was looking at the corner opposite the street. There was a man in green standing there and looking at the second floor of the Treasure Fragrance Chamber.
Before Gu Yu could speak, she saw Shen Miao walking over.
Under the roof, the green-robed man stood upright, his gaze fixed in the direction where Liu Ying lived. He was so engrossed in it that he did not even notice when someone walked up to him. Only when a light cough interrupted his train of thought did he see four people standing in front of him. The young man in the lead was dressed in a moon-white robe. He had delicate eyebrows and a fair face. At this moment, he looked at him with a faint smile.
Pei Lang was stunned and felt that this young man looked familiar. The young man nodded at him. ��Mr. Pei.”
“Shen Miao!” Pei Lang widened his eyes slightly. He looked at the people behind Shen Miao and then at Shen Miao. He was probably a little shocked and said, “You… why are you dressed like this?”
It was not uncommon for women to dress up as men. In Ming Qi, for the sake of convenience, many young ladies would occasionally wear men’s clothes when they went out to do things.
“I just came out of the Treasure Fragrance Chamber,” Shen Miao said.
Pei Lang cleared his throat, and his face was a little red. It was not uncommon for women to dress up as men, but this was the first time he had heard of a woman dressing up as a man to visit a brothel. However, Shen Miao still looked very calm, not embarrassed at all.
Shen Miao suddenly took a step forward to get close to Pei Lang. She opened the folding fan in her hand and blocked their faces from being seen. On the other side of the folding fan, she said softly, “Everyone says that the girls of the Treasure Fragrance Chamber are the most beautiful in the world, so I specially went to take a look. Recently, there have been many new Persian dancers. All of them are gorgeous.”
Pei Lang was at a loss as to what to say to Shen Miao. Moreover, what Shen Miao said made him suddenly have the illusion that the person in front of him was really a young master from a rich family who often visited brothels.
