Chapter 100 Qu Xiang
Madam Feng understood the meaning of the music and asked the older man to call all the girls.
When they left Yuchun Tower, the goods in the women's backpacks were almost empty, and their backpacks were filled with small change and copper coins.
Several people's hands and feet were weak, their heads were dizzy, and they felt like they were carrying a heavy weight.
Qi Fang weighed the heavy basket on her back and laughed happily. She had earned the most silver from sales today.
Everyone agreed to carry the silver back to the inn first and go out shopping later.
After the others left Yuchun Tower, Madam Feng packed up the items they had bought in an exquisite box and sent them to the county magistrate's wife. She also carefully packed a set of skin care products and had them delivered to the capital as quickly as possible.
……
……
Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng walked along the main street for a while and bought some odds and ends. They were about to go to the grain store to ask about the price when a man suddenly rushed out from the slope and ran straight towards them.
Yu Chaosheng quickly pulled Pan Yingying over and tripped the man with his foot. Suddenly, several people dressed as servants came from behind and grabbed the man in front and threw him to the ground without saying a word.
"Master, we caught him!" the leading servant shouted to a place not far away.
After a while, a handsome young man in a red round-necked robe trotted over and kicked the person being escorted.
Pan Yingying could tell at a glance that this was not a young man at all, but a girl dressed as a man.
The girl was about twenty years old, with red lips and white teeth, and was very cute.
Qu Xiang turned his head and saw Yu Chaosheng standing beside him, and his eyes immediately lit up.
The young man in front of her was dressed in white, handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He looked better than her older brother.
She turned her eyes and found that the man was protecting a pretty woman in a moon-white dress.
Qu Xiang smiled sweetly and walked up to Yu Chaosheng, "Thank you, sir, and your sister for helping me catch the thief."
Yu Chaosheng: ???
Pan Yingying: ???
Yu Chaosheng had no expression on his face, and even looked a little unhappy. Was there something wrong with his eyes? Which eye could tell that they were brother and sister?
"I didn't help you catch anyone. The thief almost hit my wife. I was just trying to protect my wife."
Qu Xiang sighed with regret, "Ah, they're already married?"
Yu Chaosheng nodded, reached out and pulled Pan Yingying, who was watching the fun, away.
It's so incomprehensible. Anyone can see that they are a couple. Damn it!
Walking quickly to another street, Pan Yingying broke free from Yu Chaosheng's hand and said, "What's wrong? Are you shy when you meet a beautiful woman?"
Yu Chaosheng glared at her unhappily, not wanting to waste time talking to this woman who knew nothing, "Are you still going to the grain store?"
Pan Yingying chuckled, with some obvious ill intentions, "Go, go, go right away."
The two went to the grain store to ask about the price, but unexpectedly they ran into Qu Xiang again.
Qu Xiang, accompanied by a maid who was also dressed as a man, came up to greet him with a smile, "Sir, what a coincidence, we meet again,"
Yu Chaosheng said "hmm" and grabbed Pan Yingying's hand without saying anything.
Qu Xiang looked at Pan Yingying with a look of scrutiny. Perhaps she didn't bother to hide it, Pan Yingying could easily sense her scrutiny.
"Meeting each other is fate. My name is Qu, my given name is Xiang, and I am the second child in the Yu family. May I know what your name is, sir?" Qu Xiang performed the male greetings with Yu Chaosheng.
Yu Chaosheng patiently returned the salute. He wanted to see what this woman wanted to do today. Don't think he didn't notice that Qu Xiang and the maid followed them here.
"My surname is Yu, and my given name is Chengying." Yu Chaosheng put on a vest.
Pan Yingying's heart moved slightly, and she planned to put on a vest when Qu Xiang asked her. She even thought of a name.
Unfortunately, Qu Xiang completely ignored her and had no intention of talking to her at all.
Ah, this...it should be because Qu Xiang is now a "man" and needs to avoid suspicion.
Pan Yingying thought so and didn't take this little matter to heart.
"Brother Yu and I met today and felt that we hit it off very well. Why don't I treat us to a trip to Zhaixing Tower to taste the specialties of our Lingyun County?" Qu Xiang made the invitation with interest in her eyes. She looked at Yu Chaosheng as if she had found some prey that satisfied her.
Just as Yu Chaosheng was about to ask Pan Yingying's opinion, Qu Xiang spoke up, "When we men go out to play, we should not bring women with us."
She looked at Pan Yingying with a warning in her eyes, hoping that this woman would be more tactful, otherwise don't blame her for not being gentle and considerate.
Pan Yingying was just puzzled. She didn't offend anyone, and the sudden disdain and hostility of Qu Xiang, who was disguised as a man, made her feel ridiculous.
She immediately raised her hand and held Yu Chaosheng's arm, "I feel a little uncomfortable and want to go back."
If you can't afford to provoke me, you can afford to avoid me and just slip away.
She didn't react when Qu Xiang introduced herself just now, and only now noticed the jade pendant with the word "Qu" carved on it on her waist.
Pan Yingying has an identical jade pendant in her space. Well... it came from the cellar in the courtyard of the concubine's room of the governor of Liangzhou.
I heard that the governor of Liangzhou has a son and a daughter, both of whom are outstanding.
Judging from Qu Xiang's performance and behavior, if she guessed correctly, Qu Xiang should be the youngest daughter of the governor of Liangzhou.
But wasn't she already married? Her husband was said to be the legitimate son of an official in the Ministry of Personnel, and they already had two children.
So what is going on now? A woman disguised as a man returns to her own territory to pick up handsome guys?
Pan Yingying was so suspicious, but she didn't show her curiosity at all.
No wonder Qu Xiang didn't take her seriously. After all, the prefect was the most powerful person in the entire Liangzhou.
Now facing Qu Xiang, Pan Yingying couldn't help feeling guilty. She didn't know whether Governor Qu had discovered that the treasures he had looted had been stolen.
But even if they found out, they probably wouldn't dare to make it public. I heard that the prefect's wife is not a good person, and Prefect Qu got the position of prefect because of his wife's family background.
If the prefect's wife knew that he had set up a house outside to keep a mistress, not to mention tracking down his treasures, the prefect would probably have to lie in bed for two or three months to heal the leg that was broken by his wife.
When Qu Xiang heard Pan Yingying say that she was not feeling well and wanted to go back first, he thought that this woman was quite sensible. He was about to ask the maid disguised as a servant to send her off, but Yu Chaosheng picked up the weak little woman.
"Young Master, we met by chance and are not yet close enough to hang out together. My wife is not feeling well and has to take medicine all the time. We will go back now." Yu Chaosheng nodded to Qu Xiang, ignoring the hand that Pan Yingying was secretly twisting on his back, and turned around and left with her in his arms.
When he could no longer see anyone, Qu Xiang's face instantly fell and became extremely gloomy.
"What a Yu Chengying... He refused to accept my offer and was punished..." His fair fingers stroked the beautiful jade on his waist, and Qu Xiang whispered, "Go and find out who this Yu Chengying is."
It's the end of the month, my dears, please don't hoard books. It is crucial to read new books. Please help me to get on the list. Thank you.
