The girls in the Treasure Fragrance Chamber were the most expensive. At the same time, the girls in the Treasure Fragrance Chamber were the best. Although Liu Ying was not the top girl in the Treasure Fragrance Chamber, she was quite famous. However, this was only relative to the rumors outside. In fact, new girls came in every day. They were all good-looking and talented. Men all liked the new and disliked the old, so there were fewer customers who came to look for Liu Ying.
However, recently, the girls in the Treasure Fragrance Chamber knew that Liu Ying, who no longer had her former glory, had recently received a big customer. A young man would come to look for her every few days. In the Treasure Fragrance Chamber, it was really rare to see a customer who chose the same girl every time. Everyone guessed that he wanted to redeem Liu Ying.
Mo Qing followed the woman to a small room upstairs. The woman in red smiled and left. On the soft couch, a young woman in a thin red dress was leaning against the wall, holding a jade Guqin and playing it. Her watery eyes were affectionate, and there was an ambiguous smile on her lips. Her clothes revealed half of her shoulders, making people’s imagination run wild.
Mo Qing took a deep breath and sat down at the table. He poured himself a cup of tea and started his night as usual, sitting through the night.
The sound of the Guqin stopped abruptly, and Liu Ying looked flustered and exasperated. She walked up to Mo Qing and said angrily, “Young Master Mo, you’ve come here a few times, but everytime, you act like I don’t exist. Are you making fun of me? Or do you think I’m dirty and not worthy of you?”
The girls in the brothel were all envious of her because a man was willing to choose her every time. However, they did not know that other than sitting there like a dummy, this man didn’t do anything else. No matter what Liu Ying did, he did not even look at her, let alone do anything else.
Mo Qing shook his head but did not speak. He stared straight at the teacup in front of him, feeling extremely helpless. Shen Miao was right. Liu Ying was indeed a flirtatious woman. She used many tricks and methods to tease him, causing Mo Qing to almost lose control of himself. Now, sitting here for another moment was torture, but Shen Miao wanted him to continue doing so for a reason he wasn’t aware of.
Liu Ying sat on Mo Qing’s lap and reached out to hook his neck. She whispered into Mo Qing’s ear, “Young Master Mo, are you just going to sit for another night?”
With a bang, Mo Qing pushed Liu Ying to the ground.
In a private room opposite the Treasure Fragrance Chamber, there was a dazzling array of jade plates on the table. Three people were sitting around it. A person who looked like a guard walked in from outside and whispered something into the ear of the purple-clothed youth sitting in the middle.
“Speaking of which,” Ji Yushu said in confusion, “why did Miss Shen ask her guard to go to Treasure Fragrance Chamber to look for that girl?”
“Moreover, this guard doesn’t do anything,” Gao Yang added.
Gao Yang and Ji Yushu no longer treated Shen Miao as an ordinary girl. Everything she did seemed to be paving the path for a bigger plan. Therefore, when they found out that Shen Miao sent Mo Qing to the Treasure Fragrance Chamber to look for a girl, their first reaction was that Shen Miao was dealing with someone again.
Men who were sent by All Knowing Scholar to find out what was going on came back to report. What was shocking was that the guard patronizing Liu Ying did nothing. He sat in her room for a night and then left. They carefully looked into Liu Ying’s background. She was just a girl who was sold to a brothel. There was nothing special about her, so they did not understand why Shen Miao did this.
“Could it be that she wants to nurture a eunuch to work for her?” Ji Yushu’s thoughts were always especially strange. “Now, she’s probably letting that guard adapt to the life of a eunuch in advance.”
“Your imaginations are always so wild.” Gao Yang pondered for a moment. “I think she wants to rope in Liu Ying, or perhaps she wants to deal with the other two branches of the Shen family. Why Liu Ying though? There are many girls in Treasure Fragrance Chamber who are more charming and enchanting than Liu Ying.” He looked at Xie Jingxing. “Xie Jingxing, what do you think about this?”
