Chapter 44 What I Missed
Xiaoyue Tower, Qingxiang Courtyard.

He Zisheng excitedly sent a voice message to Jiang Shihao, "Thanks to you, today I can finally see Miss Qin'er's beauty and enjoy her piano music."

Jiang Shihao had also heard of Miss Qin'er's name, who was the chief of the three most beautiful courtesans in Xiaoyue Tower. She only sold her art but not her body, and although she worked in a brothel, she was pure and innocent.

Many wealthy men spent huge sums of money to see her but failed.

Because whether Miss Qin'er sees someone or not depends entirely on her mood. She will only play a song for the one who catches her eye.

Just now in the attic outside, a group of people were sitting there drinking tea, looking forward to Miss Qin'er coming out to play a song. Even after being told that Miss Qin'er had a distinguished guest today, they were still reluctant to leave.

Jiang Shihao was very curious about what kind of magic this girl Qin'er had that could fascinate so many people.

After the four people entered Qingxiang Courtyard and just sat down, they saw a stunning girl walking out. She was indeed as fair as cream, with a beautiful face and a graceful figure. Her clear eyes showed a cool and self-assured temperament.

She was different from all the brothel girls Jiang Shihao had ever seen.

The tinkling sound of the piano is like the gurgling of a spring, making people intoxicated by it.

After an unknown amount of time, the piano music stopped.

Jiang Shihao woke up as if from a dream and was surprised.

He considered himself a worldly man, but he did not expect to be moved by the sound of the piano.

This shows how superb this girl's piano skills are.

As soon as the song ended, Miss Qin'er came over gracefully and elegantly, sat next to Gu Mingchuan, and poured him wine personally.

Jiang Shihao was so envious.

He Zisheng, who was sitting next to him, was even more surprised. Wasn't Mr. Jiang too polite to Gu Mingchuan?
Miss Qin'er naturally had to accompany the most distinguished person at the table. She did not sit next to Jiang Yihong, which showed that she had been instructed in advance.

This Gu Mingchuan, could it be that he saved Jiang Yihong's life?

After a while, Miss Qin'er drank two glasses of wine, her face turned slightly red, as if she was a little drunk. She half leaned in Gu Mingchuan's arms, looking ready to be picked.

He Zisheng's eyes turned red.

No, maybe he saved Jiang Yihong's entire family?

It looks like Miss Qin'er, who has always sold her art but not her body, will make an exception tonight.

……

After a few rounds of drinking, He Zisheng passed out drunk at the right time.

Seeing this, Jiang Shihao said goodbye to Gu Mingchuan and the others, and left with his cousin. When he walked out of the yard, he still looked back at the yard reluctantly.

"Stop looking at it, or your eyeballs will fall out."

Suddenly, He Zisheng's voice sounded in his ears.

Jiang Shihao asked curiously, "You're not drunk?"

"If we stay there any longer, we'll be disliked. Let's go, stop looking, that's not a woman you can touch."

"Miss Qin'er, isn't she selling her art instead of her body?"

"My cousin, you really don't know anything about the power of the Jiang family."

"Since she has made an exception, does that mean I will have a chance in the future as well?"

He Zisheng couldn't help but laugh, "Do you know who is behind Xiaoyue Tower? Old Madam, Miss Qin'er's piano skills were taught by the old madam herself. If she doesn't want to, no one can force her."

When Jiang Shihao heard the word "old lady", his face turned pale and he had no thoughts at all.

……

In the Qingxiang Courtyard.

Gu Mingchuan looked at the girl Qin'er lying in his arms. She was slightly tipsy, and her pair of sharp autumn eyes contained a hint of shyness, curiosity and anticipation.

He really wanted to ask Jiang Yihong what this guy had done to make her so proactive.

I remember the last time he came to Xiaoyue Tower under the arrangement of the Xue family, although she played a song, her expression was cold and distant.

This time, she seemed like a completely different person.

Of course, he was just thinking about it and would not ask such a disappointing question.

Gu Mingchuan asked another question, "Did those two escape?"

Jiang Yihong shook his head and said, "I don't know either. The news has been blocked over there. It is said that the losses were heavy."

"How's your injury?"

"I've recovered a long time ago, but I'm confined to my home."

"Under house arrest? Because of what happened at the riverside last time?" "Exactly."

Gu Mingchuan was a little puzzled. "Did the elders in your family actually confine you to your home for her?"

How could Xue Ruoyu have such a great reputation?

In terms of strength, the Jiang family is clearly superior to the Xue family.

Jiang Yihong smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, you don't know that Xue Ruoyu has been the favorite of the old lady since she was a child. In the whole Jiangzhou City, who doesn't give her some respect?"

"Old lady?"

Gu Mingchuan became even more confused. Who is this person?

Seeing that he didn't even know the old lady, Jiang Yihong whispered, "The old lady is the wet nurse of Emperor Sizong. She now lives in Jiangzhou City, but she doesn't like to show off, so many people don't know about it."

Emperor Sizong?

Gu Mingchuan really knew that the history books he read were not read in vain, because they were written by the grandfather of the current emperor, the emperor before him.

I didn't expect that there was such a big shot hidden in Jiangzhou City.

Jiang Yihong explained, "The old lady is my grandmother's aunt."

It turned out to be the case.

Gu Mingchuan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he was so afraid of Xue Ruoyu. There was actually such a relationship between them. They were a natural nemesis.

"Speaking of which, Xue Ruoyu fainted on the street yesterday and was carried back to the Xue family. Others thought she was attacked and blocked the city gates."

Jiang Yihong spoke of this matter with a certain gloating attitude.

Gu Mingchuan asked, "Why did she faint for no reason?"

"I heard that her savior had an accident. When she heard the news, she fainted on the spot. It seems that she has fallen deeply in love with that savior. Last time, she gave her personal swordsman to that person..."

The more Gu Mingchuan listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Why did it sound like they were talking about me?
What happened to me?
Wait a moment——

He suddenly reacted and finally realized what he had overlooked.

Maid Qingxue!

When he left Pingjiang City, he asked Qingxue to wait for him outside Jiangzhou City.

Then, after he returned to Jiangzhou City, a series of things happened and he actually forgot about her.

Qingxue waited a long time for him but couldn't find him. She must have thought that he was in trouble. So she went to find Xue Ruoyu in a hurry...

However, he did not expect that Xue Ruoyu would faint on the spot when she knew he was in trouble.

This girl is really affectionate and righteous.

Gu Mingchuan asked, "Is she okay?"

Jiang Yihong said, "It's okay, I woke up last night."

That's good.

Jiang Yihong only said, "Early this morning, he took his men and left Jiangzhou City."

"Where?"

"Of course, she went to avenge her savior."

"..."

In fact, I can take revenge myself.

Gu Mingchuan could only say this in his heart.

Jiang Yihong suddenly asked the girl Qin'er who was sitting next to him, "You met Xue Ruoyu's savior last time, what kind of person is he?"

Miss Qin'er thought for a while and said, "That young master is thoughtful and polite, not as rude as he looks."

As she spoke, she glanced at Gu Mingchuan beside her, wondering if she noticed the similarity in their eyes.

Fortunately, she wasn't too close to him that day, so she probably didn't remember the smell of him.

Miss Qin'er said, "Mr. Jiang, have you forgotten that Miss Xue is already engaged, and the old lady personally chose her husband for her. If what you said just now gets out, the old lady will probably be unhappy."

Jiang Yihong knew that he had said something wrong, but he actually forgot that this Miss Qin'er could also talk to the old lady.
