Chapter 50: Digging Back the Corner

As expected, I still can't pamper a woman too much. I thought Tang Shishi was cold and distant and would not be attracted to me, but I didn't expect that she couldn't control herself. I have to be more careful in the future.

"Why is the Second Young Master Lu here? Didn't Miss Shishi keep the Second Young Master Lu?" Shen Qingyao, covered with a black veil, came over with a smile.

When Lu Zhanxing met his new boss again, he couldn't help but sigh at Shen Qingyao's business methods.

"Women, once they are pampered, they want more, haha!"

"Really? I heard that Second Young Master Lu doted on Miss Shishi for three years. I thought Second Young Master Lu still had some feelings for her."

"Yes, there are, but not much." What a scumbag.

Shen Qingyao asked, "What are Second Young Master Lu's plans? If you don't want to see her, I will keep her away from your sight and won't let her bother you anymore."

Even someone like Mr. Mu has to treat Lu Zhanxing with courtesy, so naturally I have to try to please him.

"No need. I will redeem her. Just find her something to do. If she wants to leave the boat, it's up to her."

No matter what, Tang Shishi was also the confidante of the original body, so if I redeem her, give her freedom, and let her escape the fate of being a guest in the future, I have done my best.

Shen Qingyao smiled and said, "Second Young Master Lu also said that he was ruthless to Miss Shishi. Although he did not welcome her into the mansion, he at least gave her freedom. Miss Shishi did not love the wrong person."

How many men come to such places and then deny their debts after having had everything taken?

Although they sell their art and not their bodies on the pleasure boat, it is not impossible to do so as long as the price is high enough.

Lu Zhanxing did not refute. Let them think whatever they want. After all, it was the original body's debt of love and she was not responsible.

Redeeming her was the greatest kindness she could show.

"Who asked you to send an invitation to me? Where are the others?" Lu Zhanxing asked.

Shen Qingyao didn't keep her in suspense and made a gesture to invite her: "Second Master Lu, follow me."

Lu Zhanxing followed her until they came to a room: "The master is inside, Second Young Master Lu, please go in by yourself!"

After saying that, she left. The second Master Lu was willing to redeem Tang Shishi, which proved that he still had some feelings for her. It would be better to keep her on the boat so that she could be considered one of his connections in the future.

Lu Zhanxing pushed the door open and walked in. There was indeed someone sitting inside.

He was wearing a moon-white straight-legged gown and a light blue robe, with a white jade hairpin on his head. He had a handsome face and an elegant demeanor.

When Mu Qingli saw Lu Zhanxing coming in, he stood up with a smile and said, "Second Master Lu, we meet again!"

"So it's you who wants to see me? I don't remember any relationship with the Fourth Prince's friends."

Having said that, Lu Zhanxing was already thinking about Mu Qingli's purpose.

Should I call Bai Jing at the door in to prevent Mu Qingli from attacking me?

"Don't worry, Second Master Lu, I mean no harm, please take a seat!"

Mu Qingli sat on a futon on the ground. There were tea sets on the low table. He began to make tea for her.

Boiling water, scalding cups, brewing tea, and refilling water, each procedure is extremely meticulous. You can see the tea leaves dancing in the water along with his slender hands.

Lu Zhanxing had no choice but to sit on the cushion opposite him.

She didn't understand the tea ceremony, but looking at Mu Qingli's leisurely, indifferent and elegant posture, she couldn't help but feel that the scene was very attractive. Finally, smelling the fragrance of the tea, she couldn't help but admire it in her heart.

When the tea was ready, Mu Qingli placed it in front of her and made a gesture of invitation.

Lu Zhanxing was a little hesitant, fearing that he would poison him.

As if he could see what Lu Zhanxing was thinking, he took a sip himself leisurely.

Lu Zhanxing thought to himself, don’t think I don’t know. When I watched TV dramas, even utensils like teacups could be poisoned.

However, if Mu Qingli really dared to poison me, I would definitely not be able to stop her.

Smelling the fragrance of tea, Lu Zhanxing finally picked up the teacup and took a sip. Hmm, it tastes good!

"how is the taste?"

"Not bad!"

Mu Qingli chuckled: "It seems that Second Young Master Lu is used to drinking good tea. This "cloud and mist" cannot satisfy Second Young Master Lu."

It turns out that this tea is called Yunwu. I'll ask Lu Tong to buy some and try it later, she thought secretly.

"You went to so much trouble to invite me here, what advice do you have?"

The moment she saw Mu Qingli, she had actually figured out the reason. Wasn't it because of the twin sisters?

But I wonder what Mu Qingli plans to exchange for it?

Mu Qingli pondered for a moment before saying, "Second Young Master Lu is a man of few words, so I won't beat around the bush. I think Second Young Master Lu already knows that the twin sisters are mine. I wonder if Second Young Master Lu can let them go?"

"Haha, Mr. Mu is really funny. You delivered people to me so blatantly. Now that I have discovered you, you want me to let them go with just one sentence. Don't you think this is ridiculous?"

Her tone was full of disdain and contempt. She wanted to see what Mu Qingli could offer in exchange.

"I know I have no face to ask for this, but what if I exchange it for information about your brother?" he said sincerely.

Lu Zhanxing raised his eyebrows. Could it be that the Fourth Prince had already sent people to deal with his brother?

"What? My brother? Has the Fourth Prince been unable to hold back and sent people to assassinate my brother?" Lu Zhanxing was originally testing, but when she saw Mu Qingli showing a hint of surprise, she knew that her guess was correct.

She narrowed her eyes suddenly, raised the corners of her lips, and said with a hint of nagging: "It seems that the Fourth Prince still hasn't learned his lesson. Maybe my eldest brother was too lenient and he didn't learn his lesson."

Hearing this, Mu Qingli was shocked: "Did you cause the Fourth Prince to be confined?"

"You are wrong. He is my eldest brother. If you could become my eldest brother's friend, you would probably have a lot in common. What a pity..."

Lu Zhanxing still felt very regretful. In the Fourth Prince's previous life, Mu Qingli was his eldest brother's best friend and aide, but now he was poached by the reborn Fourth Prince.

When Mu Qingli learned that the Fourth Prince was under house arrest and it was Lu Zhanyan's doing, he felt deeply shocked and fearful. It turned out that there are always people better than you and he overestimated himself.

"Mr. Mu, do you know what kind of person the Fourth Prince is?" Lu Zhanxing felt that this was a good opportunity to see if he could poach this guy back.

Mu Qingli pursed her lips and said nothing. What kind of person is he?

He felt that people like the Fourth Prince were decisive and would do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. What was even more frustrating was that the Fourth Prince had a kind of mysterious self-confidence. He really didn't understand who gave him the confidence?

Also, it was the Fourth Prince who personally invited me to be his aide, but I was skeptical and didn't believe in me at all, and would rather believe in a poor scholar.

After Mu Qingli's observations over the past few days, she found that the poor scholar was only a person who could curry favor with the powerful. He was on the same level as the Fourth Prince. Perhaps she was really not the same kind of person as them?
