Before fleeing famine, marry a playboy!

Chapter 31 Regret for not clarifying

There have been brothels from ancient times to the present. If one person is not doing the business, someone else will be. The business is not divided into high and low categories.

Seeing that Li Yuening was silent, Xie Shi thought she was unhappy. "Although I am the owner of Chungui Tower, I have never been here except on the days of checking the accounts every month."

Li Yuening's face was wooden. "Oh? Aren't you the dream lover of all the young ladies in Jinling City, and even the third son of the Xie family who the courtesans want to serve as bed warmers? Could it be that you have a twin brother who looks exactly like you?"

Xie Shi opened his mouth, unable to refute. There were rumors even more unbearable to hear than this. Xie Shi now regretted not clarifying them.

Xie Shi stood there like a child who had done something wrong. His throat was a little dry, and he spoke dryly after a while, "It is indeed me, but I am really innocent. Even the servants serving me are all servants. In the only 17 years I have, I have not had much contact with other opposite sex except my mother and nanny."

Seeing that Xie Shi was almost about to swear after racking his brains, Li Yuening interrupted him and held his face while standing on tiptoe to look him in the eye. "Well, I know it all. Being liked and admired by others is not a shameful thing. It just shows that you are excellent. Your good looks are also a skill that others don't have.

Appearance is a unique symbol given to children by their parents. There is no need to worry about something that does not exist. If it is normal appreciation and ordinary liking, we should be proud of it. If we encounter someone with bad intentions, we can beat him up and teach him a lesson. "

Li Yuening's actions left Xie Shi and Zi Yi stunned, and what she said was another kind of shock to their ears.

From ancient times to the present, when it comes to beautiful people, whether men or women, what we hear most is that they are vixens, gigolos, and those who are a little bit elegant are the source of disasters. People despise them but want to possess them at the same time.

Since he was a child, Xie Shi had been called a little bastard by Feng Shi, both openly and covertly. He had never acted as he pleased as Li Yuening had said. He would smile at someone if they liked him, and would beat them up to vent his anger if they made him unhappy.

"Xie Shi, beauty is never a sin. We can only blame those people with dirty hearts who only think of thieves and prostitutes when they see beautiful things.

From now on, you will be you. Xie Shi doesn't need to pretend to be yourself in front of me." Li Yuening had asked Xiao Sui'er to find out the rumors about Xie Shi.

Xiao Sui'er said angrily, "My lady, those people are so abominable. A beautiful person like Xie Langjun was framed in such an unbelievable way.

They said that the number of people who came to see him had increased the city tax in Jinling, and they compared him to the pity prostitute at Qingyaji.

At first I thought Qingyaji was a place where scholars discussed poetry and songs, but I didn't expect it to be a brothel. Doesn't this mean that Mr. Xie is a prostitute? This really makes me so angry."

Li Yuening really didn't expect that the people in Jinling City would have such great hostility towards Xie Shi. Being exposed to such foul language all day long, how tormented must Xie Shi be in? What were they doing when his family needed him?

Maybe they are adding fuel to the fire and making the rumors more intense? After all, the most direct and simple way to hate or despise a person is to destroy him.

What about Grandpa Xie? Why didn't he stop it?

Xie Shi's heart was burning at this moment, and the heat flowed down his cheeks to Li Yuening. He felt as if he was soaking in hot water. Li Yuening felt his palms getting hotter and hotter, and Xie Shi's eyes turned from black with blue to blue that could be seen by the naked eye.

If Li Yuening had not been accustomed to seeing all kinds of races, skin colors, and eye colors in her previous life, she would have been frightened.

Xie Shi lowered his eyes. Li Yuening gently covered his eyelids with one hand and whispered, "Close your eyes."

Xie Shi closed his eyes obediently and fell backwards subconsciously.

"My dear~" Zi Yi was startled and didn't understand what was going on?

"It's okay. Your husband was tense and suddenly relaxed and fell asleep." Xie Shi had been too happy and sad recently, and his emotions fluctuated too much. He had a fever now. The blue eyes might have appeared after he had a fever. I wonder how many people have seen it?

While thinking, Li Yuening picked up Xie Shi and walked towards the inner bedroom. Zi Yi opened her mouth in shock: The mistress is too brave! He seems to have discovered something incredible, and the master will not kill him to silence him!

"Zi Yi?" Li Yuening was already sitting in the seat that Xie Shi originally occupied. She called Zi Yi several times but saw no response. She called again and Zi Yi finally came back to her senses.

"What are you thinking about?"

Zi Yi, "My dear, is he okay?"

Li Yuening shook her head and answered irrelevantly, "It's okay. Who took care of your husband when he had a fever in the past?"

Zi Yi thought about it, shook her head and said, "As far as I can remember, my husband has never had a high fever, and he has rarely been sick. Bai Yi is in charge of the yard, so he should know more."

"Where's the white one?"

"After Bai Yi informed me to come and see the young master, I went to the restaurant. It was probably the young master's order."

Li Yuening nodded, "Where did you learn your martial arts? I think your husband is pretty good at light-body martial arts."

Speaking of this, Ziyi opened up, "We all learned from Langjun, as for who Langjun's master is, we don't know either.

Langjun let us have kung fu to protect ourselves and make things easier. I have poor comprehension and my kung fu is the worst among the four of us." His tone was quite embarrassed.

Li Yuening raised her eyebrows, it seemed that there were still many things hidden from her.

"You are quite good too. It is remarkable that you are able to manage such a large Chun Gui Building at such a young age."

To Ziyi, this compliment sounded like a compliment, but why did it feel wrong?

"This is the duty of a servant."

Li Yuening pointed to the empty seat while twisting the teacup, "Sit down."

After Zi Yi sat down, Li Yuening continued, "There are some things your husband may not have told you yet. We will be heading north in a few days. Will you come with us or stay to look after Chun Gui Tower?"

Zi Yi was shocked, "North? Where to? Chun Gui Lou is going to be sold?"

It is impossible to sell Chunguilou. Li Yuening won't do that, and Xie Shi won't do that either. Chunguilou is different from the Li Family Escort Agency.

"Probably Liangzhou. It's thousands of miles away and the chance of coming back is slim." Li Yuening lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea.

Zi Yi's eyes rolled around. Was it the mistress testing him? "I am your servant. I must be wherever you are."

Li Yuening was a little disappointed when she didn't hear the answer she wanted to hear. "There are many people coming and going in Chungui Tower every day, and you haven't heard any news at all?"

The brothels, brothels, restaurants and teahouses are the most informed. Zi Yi is either dishonest or is she really only interested in doing clean business? Who would believe that?

Zi Yi laughed and said, "There is a lot of news, but Zi Yi is just a shopkeeper. The guests will say something and Zi Yi will listen to it and then they will leave."

What should be heard should be heard, and what shouldn’t be heard should be kept in Chunguilou and will not be spread outside.

Li Yuening smiled, "Secrecy makes success, disclosure ruins failure. Your husband has good taste."

Zi Yi also smiled, this means she has passed the test! "Mistress, you are too kind."

Li Yuening, "How is Chunguilou doing now?"
