"Miss, attacking a member of the royal family means that we will be punished and the border area expendables." Murong Siche gently placed the utensils in his hand on the kitchen's table. He frowned slightly and spoke indifferently to Su Qingqing. After nodding politely, he turned around and left. Su Qingqing looked at his back blankly and felt a kind of unspeakable heavy feeling on his body. From his behavior of directly addressing Yu Wenhan as prince, his identity was naturally not low. But, such a noble person, why was he so polite to such a little girl who belonged to the servant's status? "Well, forget it, my purpose is to find that stuff to go home as soon as possible. It's none of their business!" Su Qingqing shook her head and got rid of the doubts in her mind. She turned back to the wash pond and piled the dishes one by one that she had just washed. Now her duty was to wash the dishes. If she couldn't even do this well, it would be the end. Su Qingqing originally thought that she would be fine after finishing the work during the day. She had forgotten that in fact, the most lively time in the brothels was after night. In the end, she only ate a few mouthfuls of rice before she was roared by Jin Xiangyu and buried back into the pile of bowls. She washed her face until it was late at night before she left. Fortunately, the Moon- inviteing Hall was a truly clean brothel and the high officials and nobles would not spend the night here. Otherwise, the various night snacks and bowls that the old men wanted in the middle of the night would be enough to make Su Qingqing go mad. After finishing the work, Su Qingqing was so tired that she almost crawled back to Jinxiang Yu's room for her. As soon as she saw the bed in the room, Su Qingqing felt as if she saw a life-saving straw. She immediately used the remaining strength to run over and immediately collapsed. Oh, it was really comfortable. The bed was really soft. Su Qingqing laid on the soft bed with her limbs open, feeling as if the bones all over her body were about to scatter. Well, she didn't expect that this fierce and fierce boss's wife was not bad. Su Qingqing thought that after she provoked Jinxiang Yu, she would be ordered by the punished girl who was in the woodshed on TV. Who knew that the room that Luhe brought her here was also clean and tidy. Although it was only a bed and a wardrobe, it was already unexpected for Su Qingqing. With a creaking sound, Su Qingqing heard her own room's door being pushed open. However, she couldn't be bothered to get up from her comfortable bed to take a look. After all, the guests had already left, and apart from the two guards and the man, everything else had been wiped out. Besides, even if there was a man who wanted to steal her, any woman in this room would be more beautiful than her. So she didn't have to worry about that. As expected. "Sister Ruhua." A beautiful girl's voice came from the doorway. "s**t! Didn't I tell you not to call me Ruhua?" The words " Ruhua" were like Su Qingqing's Achilles' heel and exploded at once. Su Qingqing turned over and sat up in anger. "Lvhe, if you call me again, I'll—" "Eh? Why is it you?" Su Qingqing looked at the person standing at the door in surprise and was stunned. ###Chapter6,Seizing a Lazyy in the bed The person who came in was the girl in red among the four most popular courtesans in the daytime. She moved with a high difficulty and poured six glasses of wine in succession. "Shh—don't be loud!" After the girl entered the door, she hurriedly signaled Su Qingqing not to make a fuss. She then turned around and gently pushed the door. "Uh, what can I do for you?" Su Qingqing remembered her strange expression when she and the girl in green came to drink and ask her during the day. She paused and asked her vigilantly, wondering if they were with Hua Lingzi. "Hehe, don't be so sensitive. I've specially brought you some cakes. I saw that you washed your dishes for the entire day and were so tired that you didn't eat much for dinner. You must be very hungry now." The girl blinked her eyes as she smiled. She took out a bag of things wrapped in a silk handkerchief from under her shirt and handed it to Su Qingqing friendly. Su Qingqing took the bag of cakes suspiciously and opened it. Her saliva was immediately rolled up. What a delicate pastry. It was pink and tender, and as smooth as jade, just like Su Qingqing's favorite jelly-cream. Su Qingqing was so hungry that she wanted to take a bite immediately. However, she still hesitated for a moment. "You... didn't put medicine in it, did you?" Su Qingqing directly asked her. "Puff!" The girl couldn't help but laugh, and two cute little dimples appeared on the corner of her mouth. She looked at Su Qingqing with a smile and pointed to the cake on the silk handkerchief and said, "Impossible. If you don't believe me, I'll eat one first." "Uh, no need, I believe you!" Su Qingqing quickly took back her hand reluctantly. Just now, she was so tired that she forgot to be hungry. Now, seeing the delicious food, her stomach immediately rumbled. Even if there was something really wrong with these cakes, she had no time to care about them and just ate them first. "Oh, it's really delicious." Su Qingqing nodded as she ate. It was indeed the most famous dessert made by brothels in the capital. The taste was so sweet that it made people want to eat even their tongues. "Tell me, what do you want me to do?" After eating dry and licking the last dregs on her hands, Su Qingqing went back to the topic. "Haha, it's nothing!" The girl covered her mouth and laughed. She rolled her eyes, leaned to Su Qingqing's ear, and said with a chuckle, "I'm here to thank Sister Ruhua for helping us!" "Uh, wait, my name is not Ruhua. Please call me Su Qingqing, thank you." Su Qingqing quickly interrupted her words and corrected the name that made her extremely disgusted. Then she continued to ask her, "How did I help you to vent your anger?" "It's that Hua Lingzi!" Yue Yi'er pouted her lips and wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction. "Usually, she relies on her seniority to bully us. Every time a customer gives us something good, she'll have to pick it first. Even if it's a gift from one of our guests, if she likes it, she'll give it to her for free. Last time, the censor sent a red coral to Sister Ruoshui. She gave it to me because she liked it, but she also wanted it. I was angry and didn't agree, so she pretended to break it for me when she got back. It really pissed me off! If Sister Ruoshui didn't comfort me and told me not to make a fuss, I really wanted to fight with her!" So that was how it was. Su Qingqing began to understand. The so-called Top Beauty of the Four Great Markets was not very harmonious. Also, that Hua Lingzi was so petty, she would definitely give herself a hard time in the future. From the looks of it, this Yue Yi'er was quite innocent and cute. She might even be able to help her if she were to make friends with her. After making up her mind, Su Qingqing and Yue Yi'er became excited. After eating, her strength was restored. Su Qingqing saw that Yue Yi'er wasn't in a hurry to go back to her room to sleep. She pulled her to sit down with her and asked about the big and small gossips of Yaoyue workshop. As expected, gossip was a woman's nature. Even young girls like Yue Yi'er could not stop gossiping. When the two girls were talking to each other until the sky gradually turned white, they finally fell on the bed exhaustedly. Yue Yi'er was originally a girl from an ordinary background. Even though she had now become the top courtesan of Yao Yue workshop, it wasn't a big deal. Furthermore, she was on good terms with Su Qingqing, so she simply lay down on her bed and slept together. The next morning, the two of them woke up from Jin Xiangyu's angry roar. "The sun is about to rise, yet you still sleep here! You're so busy in front of us!" Jin Xiangyu angrily pushed open the door of Su Qingqing's room and barged in. "Oh, it's dawn." Su Qingqing yawned and sat up. "Don't make any noise. Let me sleep for a bit longer." Yue Yi'er mumbled in dissatisfaction as she turned over and continued to sleep. Jin Xiangyu heard the voice and frowned. Her already choked face was completely black. She rushed over, lifted the curtain, and shouted at the person who was sleeping in the bed, "Yueyi'er! Why are you here! Miao Chunchun has already got up to dress up, but you are still sleeping!" "Ah! It's over! Chunchun and I are going to celebrate Lord Chen's wife's birthday today! Sister Yu, I'm wrong! Go and wash up right now!" Yue Yi'er sat up in a fit of excitement. She hurriedly pulled on her jacket and ran towards her room. Although she was shouting and apologizing, she ran out of sight in the blink of an eye. Jin Xiangyu was so angry that she didn't even have the time to scold her. "Ruhua! I'm warning you, don't ruin the top courtesans in my place. If they all don't follow your orders, my Moonhold will close down sooner or later!" After Yue Yi'er ran away, Jin Xiangyu had to vent her anger on Su Qingqing. "My name is Su Qingqing, not Ruhua!" Su Qingqing said as she lazily got out of bed. At the same time, she carefully corrected her. "I don't care what your name is! In short, from now on, you are the person of my Wangyue Fang. When are you going to compensate me with the money of my jade plate, and when are you going to leave! Before you are qualified to leave, you'd better not annoy me, or I will send you to the government!" Jin Xiangyu was in a mess because of a bunch of things in the morning, and she had a bad temper. "Okay, okay, Sister Yu, I know. I'll go to work right away." Su Qingqing quickly picked up the towel on the shelf and rushed out of the door. Even though it did not have the toothpaste that Su Qingqing was used to using, there was a unique powder in brushing teeth. One could replace the effect of the toothpaste with just a little touch of it. How was that going to be used? Su Qingqing had already heard about it last night, so she quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face. After taking a bite of breakfast, she rolled up her sleeves and started the day where she was struggling with dishes. Through the gossip last night, Su Qingqing basically learned some information about this place. The country she was currently staying in was called Daxing State, and it was one of the strongest countries in the world. The capital was called Luo Tuo. At that time, Su Qingqing rolled her eyes for a long time, but she failed to find such a strong country in the dynasties of China. She had to give up the idea of suddenly wanting to learn time-travel novels, following the history to make friends with high-ranking officials and aristocrats to make a fortune and bring them back.
