“They’re with me,” Mo Qing said.
The girl was stunned at first, then she thought of something and looked at Mo Qing mischievously. “I didn’t expect Mr. Mo to like this… It’s fine. The more the merrier.”
When Jingzhe and Gu Yu heard that, they immediately blushed. Mo Qing also felt a little uncomfortable. Among the group, Shen Miao was the calmest.
The girl led them to Liu Ying’s boudoir. Mo Qing was a frequent visitor of the Treasure Fragrance Restaurant. Everyone here knew him, so they were not surprised. However, they were surprised to see the three delicate young men, especially Shen Miao. She was born with a fair complexion. From time to time, girls would look over with smiles.
When they arrived at Liu Ying’s boudoir, the girl who led the way knocked on the door and said, “Liu Ying, Master Mo is here to see you.” With that, she said to Mo Qing and the others, “I’ll go down first.”
Mo Qing pushed open the door and walked in. A woman was sitting in front of the dressing mirror. Her clothes were loosely draped over her body, and her black hair was like a waterfall. When she heard the commotion, she said without turning around, “You’re early today.”
Jingzhe and Gu Yu looked at Mo Qing strangely. Mo Qing cleared his throat and said, “I’m not the only one.”
Liu Ying paused and turned around. When she saw Shen Miao and the others, she was first stunned, then a trace of anger appeared on her pretty face. “What do you mean?”
“I…”
Without waiting for Mo Qing to finish, Liu Ying sneered and said, “If you want to play like this, fine, but you have to pay twice as much!”
As soon as she said that, not only Jingzhe and Gu Yu, but even Shen Miao looked at Mo Qing strangely.
“Miss Liu Ying, I’m Mo Qing’s master.” Shen Miao broke the silence and smiled. “We’re not here to ‘play’ today.”
Jingzhe and Gu Yu wanted to cover their eyes and pretend not to know.
Hearing the word “Master”, Liu Ying was stunned for a moment before looking Shen Miao up and down warily. Shen Miao walked over, and Jingzhe and Gu Yu quickly moved the stool in front of the table to a place near Liu Ying and waited for Shen Miao to sit down.
“Did you ask Mo Qing to see me?” Liu Ying asked.
Shen Miao nodded.
Liu Ying supported her chin with one hand, and her gaze suddenly became charming. “Young Master, you’re making me confused. Are you in love with me or what?”
Shen Miao looked at her. “Miss Liu Ying, what do you think?”
Liu Ying carefully sized up Shen Miao. She paused for a moment and suddenly smiled. “Miss, why are you pretending to be a man?”
Shen Miao was not surprised that Liu Ying could see through her. She was born delicate and pretty. Even if she was dressed as a man, her skin was still as fair as jade, and her eyebrows were delicate. There was nothing about her that looked like a man.
“I want to buy your freedom,” Shen Miao said.
Liu Ying’s smile froze.
She had been sold to the Treasure Fragrance Restaurant since she was young. Now, she was naturally not as popular as before. Fewer and fewer people would pay to have fun with her, let alone spend a large sum of money to buy her freedom.
“Miss, I don’t understand.”
“I was once lucky enough to get a handkerchief. It’s a rare double-sided embroidery. There are only a few dozen people in Ming Qi who know how to make double-sided embroidery.” Shen Miao said, “I asked around and found out that it was made by Miss Liu Ying.”
“You!” Liu Ying clenched her fists. “How did you know it was made by me?”
Shen Miao waved her hand. “It doesn’t matter how I know. What’s important is that I have an embroidery shop and am short of an embroiderer. Miss Liu Ying, are you interested in managing the shop for me?”
Liu Ying looked at her in disbelief and suddenly smiled somewhat sarcastically. “Miss, don’t tell me you want me to turn over a new leaf?”
Jingzhe and Gu Yu were a little dissatisfied with Liu Ying’s attitude at this moment. Mo Qing also frowned slightly. How many prostitutes wanted to have a chance to turn over a new leaf? Liu Ying was still young. If she could pull herself together, she might have a good future.
“I’ve been sold here since I was young.” Liu Ying looked frivolous. “The only thing I know is how to serve and please men. You asked me to take care of the embroidery shop and sell labor. I can’t live such a hard life. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll ruin the shop?”
Shen Miao stared at her and smiled. “That is my business. It’s not for you to worry.” She said casually, “It’s just that… this is the only way out for you.”
“Everyone has their own way of living. To me, I don’t think that brothel girls are cheaper or dirtier, but this is what people think.” Shen Miao said, “Just like my Guard Mo, he serves me, but no one will look down on him. Some people will even envy my personal maids. People are divided into different levels. Who doesn’t want to be superior to others? Who wants to be criticized every day?”
