Everyone’s eyes changed suddenly.
A thousand taels, just to buy one cloth!
Was Madam Ji crazy or was she stupid? In an instant, why did they no longer recognize the world! It was just a piece of fabric, not even a piece of clothing. No matter how fine or exquisite it was, it was still something that could be made with ordinary craftsmanship. Was it more valuable than the treasures from the previous dynasty?
Everyone present was a group of business enthusiasts. Gradually, someone started to notice something, and fewer and fewer people were confused and unclear. Their gaze towards Xie Tingyue also changed.
Two noble ladies and gold sponsors had arrived, and everyone welcomed them with sincerity. They guessed what they would like and put out their items that they were somewhat confident about, including gemstones, spices, jewelry….
Qi Wenhai was more skilled, more considerate, and more popular than them. He would definitely put something that Madam Ji would need. He Yuanqi was simple and crude, but his direction was also right. The circle was different, and some needs were not related to personal preferences. Seizing this point could also sell things.
Xie Tingyue was amazing. Through Madam Ji, he saw the Princess from afar and was able to seize this opportunity in a short period of time, making the other party unable to refuse!
What a sharp vision, what a bold approach!
How could such a person become a male wife?
But… for such a person, it didn’t matter if he became a male wife. What should shine would still shine!
After Madame Ji made a move, Xie Tingyue won the full house. Everyone applauded and celebrated for him. Previously, those who spoke ill of him behind his back had now become embarrassed. They all had red faces and covered their faces with their sleeves, and they wanted to find a hole to burrow down, for fear that Xie Tingyue would see them….
Qi Wenhai’s expression was filled with joy, he was proud of his friend. Sure enough, his vision was good, and Xie’er was amazing!
He Yuanqi glanced over with a gloomy look. Qi Wenhai directly protected Xie Tingyue behind him and glared back, saying, “He’s just better than you. So what, kneel down now and call me Grandpa and this Grandpa can ignore what you did before!”
He Yuanqi narrowed his eyes and sneered, threw up his sleeves and left the scene.
Qi Wenhai was taken aback for a moment and suddenly realized that Xie’er‘s Indigo Cloth had been sold, but the items were still in the backyard. They would only be taken away together when Madam Ji left later. In the meantime, what if He Yuanqi played tricks?
This person surnamed He has done more than one of the most despicable things in human nature!
And this matter was clear to him, but Xie Tingyue didn’t know. Time was too tight and he couldn’t explain it clearly. Qi Wenhai simply gave Xie Tingyue a word and hurriedly left his seat.
If they lingered here, Xie Tingyue’s items would disappear without a trace.
Just as he was thinking about whether to follow Qi Wenhai, he noticed that the ‘boy’ behind Qi Wenhai – his Sister Qi Yingfei – was also moving. However, instead of following Qi Wenhai, his ‘Master’, she quietly turned around and headed in the direction where He Yuanqi had left.
Xie Tingyue frowned.
Unable to enjoy the fruits of victory anymore, he temporarily put aside his plans and followed Qi Yingfei.
Everyone on the scene was stunned: “….”
Are all geniuses so willful!
The gold sponsor bought your cloth, but you didn’t even come up to say hello? That was the Princess’s Nanny, a relationship that no matter how many people wanted to reach, they couldn’t!

Chu Mu crossed his hands, his eyes deep and gentle, “That’s why some people are just so excellent, there is no use in being jealous.”
Qin Ping looked at his Master with an expression of “I give up”, without any disturbance in his heart.
I know that you like Madam, and want to boast every word about him, but I am really not jealous, ah!
As his gaze wandered, he noticed that his person downstairs suddenly made a gesture——
Qin Ping’s gaze changed, “Master, that side has taken action!”
Chu Mu’s eyes narrowed and nodded, “Go.”
Qin Ping immediately moved and slid out of the window like a fish, without anyone noticing.
Chu Mu remained silent for a moment, but instead of waiting in the room, he turned his wheelchair and went out the door.
**********
Qi Yingfei followed He Yuanqi all the way to a remote corner, where it was quiet and deserted. She quietly took out a dagger from her boots, ran forward lightly, and raised it with her slender wrist. The dagger flashed through with cold light, pointing straight at the back of He Yuanqi’s neck——
Suddenly, the dagger was snatched away, her mouth was covered, and she was held around the waist and dragged, leaving the corner!
She even saw He Yuanqi turn around, realize there was nothing wrong, and continue to walk forward with confidence——
Failed!
The opportunity she had finally found, failed!
“Uh-Mmpp!…” Qi Yingfei struggled hard, kicking and even biting the other person, but the other person didn’t let go!
“Sigh…”
Xie Tingyue sighed.
Another naughty kid.
A twelve year old girl was not yet mature in stature and much lighter than the ten year old chubby boy in his family, so it was not easy to hold someone down and take a dagger away– she was just too strong-willed and disobedient. She was still a girl and could not be spanked like his Younger Brother…..
Feeling that He Yuanqi had gone far, and it didn’t matter if she made any fuss, Xie Tingyue finally let go.
Qi Yingfei stood still and glared fiercely at Xie Tingyue, “I have no grudges or grievances against you. Why do you want to sabotage me?”
Xie Tingyue lightly tapped the blade of the dagger with his fingers, and a cold light flashed slightly. “Have you ever thought about your Brother and family before using this weapon?”
“I thought about them, that’s why I did this!” Qi Yingfei bit her lips, stubbornly refusing to let her tears fall. “You’re an outsider, what do you know… what do you know!”
Xie Tingyue put away the dagger and returned it to its sheath, “I don’t know anything, but if you act rashly like this, the result will definitely not be good.”
Qi Yingfei: “If you didn’t come and stop me, I would have succeeded!”
“If I didn’t come, there will be others,” Xie Tingyue’s eyes remained calm. “The government’s solving rate for human life cases is not low. In the end, you may not be able to kill him, and you may even be implicated.”
Qi Yingfei: “I don’t need you to worry about it!”
Xie Tingyue said, “I didn’t want to worry about you either, but your Brother and I are friends and he wouldn’t want to see you like this. Do you think — if you kill him and run away, as long as you do it neatly, you won’t implicate your brother?”
Qi Yingfei lowered her head and her eyes turned red. “So… I will die too.”
When she said she would die, she did not mean going to jail or life for a life. What she meant was that she would commit suicide.
“I am so much younger than him, and I am also a woman, so everyone will only pity me… When I die, the debt of blood will be settled, as long as my family does not act stupidly and spread some words appropriately, our family’s reputation will improve… My Grandmother will no longer worry day and night, and her illness will not worsen. My estranged Sister-in-Law will return home, and my Brother’s business will also be better… Even if they will be sad for a while, they will always be fine in the future… Everything will always be better!”
At this point, the little girl couldn’t bear it any longer, squatted down, hugged herself, and cried loudly.
Xie Tingyue couldn’t bear it anymore.
He guessed almost immediately that the little girl had been seriously injured, and this injury came from He Yuanqi. So…is this why the two families had deep hatred?
How could it cast such a heavy shadow on a young girl and bring up the family’s reputation…
What did He Yuanqi, that beast, actually do?
The little girl is only twelve years old!
No wonder that night Chu Mu pondered about it repeatedly but still didn’t say it out loud. If it was what he guessed, it was really not easy to talk about this kind of thing.
Xie Tingyue let out a long sigh and squatted down, wanting to reach out and pat the little girl on the back, but realized that this behavior was wrong and might remind the little girl of some bad things, so he pulled his hand back.
“Do you believe this yourself?”
His voice was light and shallow, like a stream under the moon, not heavy, but with a quiet force that pierced through people’s heart, “I think it’s good that a family can be together, even if there’s pain and regrets, they rely on each other and can become each other’s support and strength. If you do this, your family won’t be happy. They will remember you for a lifetime, heartbroken, and blame themselves for not protecting you – is that really what you want?”
Qi Yingfei’s crying was no longer so loud, but the sadness and despair in her emotions became even more intense, “They are already living a very bad life now… My Grandmother talks less and less, and after my Sister-in-law left, my older Brother has also changed. He used to love reading the most, he was a gentleman, and when he went out, he had to straighten his head first, and when he sat in, he had to hold his clothes first. Now he can’t even make friends with others, and his words are becoming annoying. He has learned to be slippery and cunning in the business world, and he has become the person I least like… Like the person I hate the most…”
**********
Chu Mu turned the wheelchair with his hands and wheeled through the corridor alone, carefully observing every corner, but found nothing.
After a cup of tea time, Qin Ping returned.
“This subordinate was incompetent and let the person escape. Please punish me, Master.” He knelt down on one knee, his brows darkening.
Chu Mu lowered his eyes and looked at the person kneeling on the ground, “Have you been discovered?”
Qin Ping immediately shook his head, “That person’s leg skills were excellent. He was very vigilant when entering the bustling market and turning into alleys. The terrain at the last corner is subtle and easily exposed — because Master had given orders beforehand that I must not be discovered, and when he couldn’t be caught, this subordinate stopped pursuing him.”
Chu Mu hummed and said, “Get up.”
Qin Ping stood up and reached out his hand to Chu Mu, saying, “I have discovered this.”
There was a bead in his palm, made of silver, with a hollow hole and carved patterns, resembling a silver bead threaded on a rope. No matter the texture or workmanship, it was ordinary and nothing special.
Qin Ping handed it out hesitatingly, feeling that it was of no use.
Chu Mu’s pupils suddenly shrank.
He picked up the silver bead with his slender fingers, raised it high, and looked at the pattern on it carefully through the sunlight, “It was on that person?”
“That person was very concerned about the Lan Ying Herb and was running on alert all the way. This subordinate felt something was wrong, so when we were at the busy market, I found a way to knock off the bead on his wrist, but he didn’t notice…”
As Qin Ping spoke, he sighed at his resourcefulness. Fortunately, he had dealt with the situation ahead of time, otherwise not only would he not have been able to follow the person, but he would also not have obtained any clues in the end.
The corners of Chu Mu’s lips suddenly curved, and the side of face was hidden in the shadow, looking cold and indifferent, without any trace of tenderness.
He knew this transport bead, or rather this pattern.
The person who wanted to kill him, this pattern would also appear on his body. It might not be on a silver bead, but it would be on a jade pendant, or on a waist buckle
Not long after, there would be such a person at the Plum Banquet at home.
Unfortunately, it was a long time ago, and he couldn’t remember many things clearly.
It doesn’t matter, just wait for the rabbit to jump to the pit.
But — “Did you face only one person?”
Qin Ping nodded, “Yes, this subordinate didn’t find the second one.”
Chu Mu furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
Some people were always cautious, especially when they wanted his life… Was there really only one?
“Don’t go back yet.”
Qin Ping was confused, what? Before he understood what his Master meant, the next sentence came, “Follow me to find Madam.”
Qin Ping: “….”
After walking a few steps, he heard a slight sound in his ears and noticed something was wrong with the distant wind. Only then did Qin Ping understand what his Master meant. Someone had arrived and was monitoring the area nearby.
And their affairs must never be discovered!
Qin Ping suddenly became anxious and quickened his pace. He could only hope his Madam would be smart and give him a hand.
Xie Tingyue almost felt like an old mother hen, educating this little sister Qi Yingfei. Suddenly, a mellow and calm voice came from behind, “Madam, what are you doing?”
Hmmm… I feel like CM has some how gained his memories from last life?…and the person XT saved was also CM…..is it really like that?….
