Chapter 115 A small fire is discovered
Qu Jingyao looked at the woman opposite her who was wearing a brocade dress with hundreds of butterflies. Her almond-shaped eyes hidden under her long feathery eyelashes blinked slightly, and her white jade-like fingers brushed over the strands of hair on her temples.
"Yu Ru, I'm fine. Don't blame this girl. I don't think she did it on purpose."
Qu Jingyao's face suddenly darkened, and she cursed in her heart, "What a fucking white lotus!"
"Sister, you are big and strong, of course you are fine. We, the master and the servant, can't withstand such a collision from you."
Qu Jingyao's eyes darkened and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
When Qianyun heard the word "big sister", she was so angry that she almost broke down. The little maid beside her straightened her chest and walked forward, pointing her finger at Qu Jingyao.
"If you dare to point your finger at my master again, I'll break it off. I don't know which family is so ignorant of etiquette that I'm letting you out to embarrass your elders."
Yun Shu's words caused the young ladies beside her to laugh out loud.
Qu Jingyao frowned.
"That's not some lady at all! She's just a whore in a brothel."
"Yeah! Elder? You're not talking about Li Luoxuan's mother, are you? Haha..."
Several people mocked Qianyun and her servant. Yunshu only then realized that the two people in front of him were from a brothel, and he became even more furious.
"You are just a brothel girl, and you are so cunning that you even show it to my master. I will beat you up."
Yun Shu didn't tolerate her and just reached out and slapped her.
But the slap suddenly landed on Qianyun's little maid's face.
"Snapped"
"Well...you...the girl..."
Qianyun looked at the people who had just ridiculed her. She didn't dare to provoke them. She clenched her hands shamelessly:
"Yuru, let's go."
He cast a cold glance at Qu Jingyao and his servant, then turned and left.
Qu Jingyao shrugged her shoulders. She hadn’t done anything yet, and this white lotus had already given up?
Yun Shu muttered to herself, "All the prostitutes in the capital are so arrogant. It's really speechless."
Qu Jingyao smiled, turned around and nodded to the ladies behind her.
"Thank you for the reminder."
After saying this, he was about to take Yunshu away, but was stopped by the pink-dressed woman behind him:
"Wait, the fox on your shoulder is alive? It's really alive, its eyes are moving."
The person who spoke was Fu Qingxuan's sister, Fu Xuexi.
Her watery eyes widened as she approached Qu Jingyao with a look of surprise on her face.
"Be careful, it's shy and might hurt you."
Qu Jingyao leaned sideways and reminded with a cold expression.
Fu Xuexi pouted and happily withdrew her hand. Her friend behind her also reminded her to be careful.
"Xuexi, if I'm not mistaken, that's a fire fox. Not someone that ordinary people can get close to casually, right, young lady?"
Qu Jingyao curled up the corners of her lips and nodded politely. Then she said to a few people that she had something else to do, turned around and left the shop.
After leaving the shop, the master and servant no longer had any desire to go shopping. Qu Jingyao saw that it was almost noon.
"Let's go, Yunshu, let's go back."
The people in the shop watched the master and servant walk away, and they all started whispering curiously.
"Whose daughter is this? Why haven't I seen her before?"
"I don't think he's from the capital, otherwise how could he not recognize that prostitute Qianyun?"
A few people pulled Fu Xuexi, who was still reluctant to leave, towards the second floor of the shop.
What happened to Qu Jingyao in the shop today soon reached Leng Yanxiu's ears.
At this moment, Leng Yanxiu was standing in front of the study window, listening to Leng Yi's report.
"My Lord, I have investigated everything. The servant accompanying Miss Qu in Zuiling Pavilion is the one she just bought from the pawnshop."
Leng Yanxiu stopped stroking the ring, and the coldness in his eyes gradually dissipated.
"My Lord, Miss Qu just went to Jibao Tower with her maid, but when she came out, she had a slight argument with Miss Qianyun, the top performer at Liluoxuan. However..."
Leng Yi leaned over and glanced at his motionless master, his heart pounding as he wondered what his master was doing...
"But what? Say it!" Leng Yanxiu's face darkened, his brows furrowed as he turned around and looked directly at Leng Yi.
"Uh...but Miss Qu fought back, and the maidservant beside her even fought back."
Leng glanced at his master as he spoke. Everyone in the capital knew how Miss Qianyun felt about his master, but it was just that kind of feeling that was not presentable, so his master never took it seriously.
"Heh... Got it, let's go down."
Leng Yi leaned over and walked out of the study. When he turned around, his expression was obviously much more relaxed. He reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead and quickly left the yard.
But Qu Jingyao didn't know any of this.
"Master, I should have spanked her twice more just now."
Qu Jingyao shook her head and laughed, "You should take care of your own body."
Yun Shu stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
"Master, I took the pills you gave me, and I don't know why. My body has never felt better. I feel much stronger and my chest doesn't hurt anymore."
Qu Jingyao smiled and nodded, telling her to take more care of herself as her body would need some time to recover.
"Uncle Hua, I'll leave Lingzhou's affairs in the capital to you. I'll be leaving soon."
After she finished speaking, Uncle Hua asked worriedly whether they wanted them to drive the master back.
"No, you don't have to worry about that. I'll keep in touch with you by letter after I get back. Lingzhou, you two brothers and sisters, take good care of yourselves. There's no rush for Zhuangzi's affairs."
"Master, rest assured. I understand."
Several people were worried that their master would return to Ruyang City by herself, fearing that she would encounter danger on the way alone. Ruyang City was not close to Shangjing City.
"I have made up my mind. Don't worry. If your master didn't have some way to save his life, how could he dare to come to the capital alone?"
Qu Jingyao calmly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Ling Zhou was about to say something when Uncle Hua stopped him and shook his head. Then he heard Uncle Hua bow and say:
"Master, have a safe journey. Please be sure to send a letter home when you arrive, so that the servants can rest assured."
Yun Shu nodded in agreement and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Finally, Qu Jingyao saw her distressed look and asked with a smile:
"Just say whatever you want to say."
"Master, may I accompany you back?"
Qu Jingyao's watery eyes became more and more upturned, and she looked at her playfully.
Yun Shu suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Why are you still reluctant to leave me, your master? Don't worry, you can go to Ruyang City with your brother in a few days. Take care of yourself and do what I have asked you to do first."
Yun Shu nodded heavily, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
Although Ling Zhou didn't say anything, he was still worried.
After Qu Jingyao finished explaining all this, she saw that it was getting late outside, so she got up and walked outside.
"Okay, you don't have to see me off. My horse is outside the city. Let's go back."
Ling Zhou wanted to send his master out of the city, but was stopped by Uncle Hua.
"The master is a man of his own ideas. I don't think he has any means of saving his life. The lady at home wouldn't dare let him out alone. Don't worry, all we have to do is to do everything the master has instructed us to do."
