QING MAO should kneel? Where is such ethics? The girl did not need to kneel down as having a death-free token was impossible to make her submit to the Gu Empire. So he only replied in a tone that there was no warmth or coldness on the surface.
"no need. I have never knelt down for the imperial people" he replied.
Finally, Gu Wenlian could vaguely remember the girl's voice. "Are you Qing Mao?"
For a long time there was no answer until the girl answered again. "Yes. It's me." It's me."
"..." - ".It was such a coincidence to meet him here, Gu Wenlian thought a little nervously.
Qing Mao's beauty was arguably natural and also not as innocent as Nu Qingge on the surface. But since he was now wearing a mask, he could not nod his beauty. The crown prince's concubine who was now beside him immediately changed his facial expression, somewhat ugly. It turned out that it was Qing Mao who had made bad rumors over the past four years.
But the concubine could not say any words as it seemed that the crown prince's voice looked soft on the girl. Could it be that Gu Wenlian wanted to bring Qing Mao as a concubine as well?
Just as Gu Wenlian wanted to say something, it was suddenly that the middle-aged man Qing Mao persecuted immediately came forward and knelt before him.
"Your Majesty ... Your Majesty help me. His Majesty and the family of the Nu finance prime minister will soon become relatives in the future. This girl has dropped the servant from the third floor. Your Majesty please give justice," the middle-aged man said expectantly.
Gu Wenlian's expression changed completely. Can he punish Qing Mao? There, the girl might have punished him. Therefore, he immediately sneered.
"Give you justice? Don't you know who you just threw at me? Even the emperor would grant his wish. How could this Prince argue?! After all, what are you doing by making trouble at the mask festival?"
The middle-aged man was immediately pale-faced and confused as to what to answer. Even Madam Pei was stunned as well. That girl is Qing Mao? He had heard the rumors. But he said the rumor was soon broken with Nu Qingge's affair. It was unexpected that his identity was even higher than that of the prince.
Qing Mao has a death-free token. You can be free from all punishments, including the death penalty. Where would Fu Wenlian look for trouble? Right now alone his status was almost gone, it was impossible to let the emperor's father down. Thus, even if the middle-aged man was a relative of the family of Nu's finance prime minister, he could still discern which one was more important first.
Gu Wenlian immediately apologized to Qing Mao and asked his concubine to do the same. Rather than getting into trouble, the crown prince's concubine also knew his place. Qing Mao sneered behind the mask and asked Gu Wenlian to address the matter.
Madam Pei was in debt with a middle-aged man and almost had a child. Then the few people who had previously witnessed the excitement also said as they were and told the middle-aged man's arrogance.
"No, I .. I didn't mean to kill the boy. I just want the family of deputy general Pei to pay his debt. It's been months and they haven't paid at all. I just, just ..."
"Is your family short of money?" qing Mao asked indifferently.
"Huh? Whahuh? Lack money? Nope, no. My family has had more than enough." The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and could only be honest. He could not lose his image here or his family would beat him to death.
"How much debt?" ask again.
"This ... this ..." The middle-aged man was flustered and confused as to why Qing Mao had asked about the amount of money.
"Say how much?" Gu Wenlian was impatient.
Then Qing Mao looked at Madam Pei who had stopped crying, but was still hugging her son trembling. "Is that true?"
"Yes, that's right, miss. But this time I brought the money. Really am. I brought the money." Madam Pei immediately took out five pieces of banknotes. A single sheet of paper money can be worth hundreds of silver or gold coins.
Qing Mao picked it up and checked. It turned out that one sheet of paper money was valued at two hundred silver coins. He immediately handed it to the middle-aged man, but only four pieces of paper money.
"For the cost of the child's psychological loss, two hundred silver coins was enough. Unless your family's short on money?" Qing Mao deliberately wanted to anger him but could not fight back.
"..." - ".The middle-aged man did indeed want to spit out old blood. Pei's deputy general's family owes him a debt, but now he also has to pay for the boy's psychological burden that almost fell from the third floor.
Not to mention, Gu Wenlian looked at him coldly. Makes him not dare to point the tail. Therefore, the middle-aged man could only agree with a bloody heart. His family still wants to live. Didn't expect that today would meet someone of high status.
"Then, fine. I accepted it and the family debt of deputy general Pei was paid off. I. .. I apologize for the behavior. I won't repeat it again. This girl ... Can you let me go now?" The middle-aged man only wanted to leave immediately from there. He was already embarrassed enough.
"If next time you look for trouble with them, I might make a request to the emperor to give your family a new job" Qing Mao threatened.
Finally the middle-aged man immediately shook his head quickly and left the place, aided by the guard. People no longer saw the excitement and some immediately dispersed themselves. The restaurant page was full of people.
Qing Mao handed the banknote to Madam Pei and left without saying a word. Gu Wenlian himself could not start a conversation with her, given that the two were indeed not close. Seeing his figure, Gu Wenlian felt even more admiration. Other than being brave and intelligent, Qing Mao was also not as childish as she once was.
If not for Nu Qingge then ... Qing Mao maybe—
"Your Majesty," said her concubine carefully.
Gu Wenlian looked dazed for a while, then there was a hint of anger. Her concubine was worried that the girl named Qing Mao was not making her happy. The man returned to his senses and immediately took her away from the place. He was not interested in the mask festival.
As for Qing Mao herself who was now known by many, it was impossible to do anything. But he immediately stopped his steps and turned towards the multi-storey restaurant. He felt that someone was watching from the shadows.
But there's no one there. In the end, he lowered his head in confusion. Could her feelings be wrong?
Hence, Qing Mao stepped back and mingled with the people. At least go find Princess Lailan.
Whereas without Qing Mao know ....
A man dressed in noble clothes watched from the third floor of the restaurant earlier. Your smile is perfectly engraved and long black hair as smooth as silk makes her figure more charming. He chuckled and stroked the black jade ring on the ring finger of his left hand.
While glaring a smile, the man muttered softly. "I found you, the owner of the green jade ring. If only you knew who you really are ... Will the results be the same or different?"
The man had quite long fangs. It was obvious that his smile was not good at all.
