Chapter 127 Zhang Qing

According to common sense, Mu You should be panicking and trying to explain herself away from the fact that she is Chu's younger sister.

After all, back then, Chu Xuan insisted on marrying Ye Xiuming despite the Chu family's dissuasion. In the end, she broke up with the Chu family because of this and completely severed all ties with them.

Chu You also lost favor in the Chu family because of her private contact with her sister Chu Xuan. It is said that she was kicked out of the house by Chu Shen because of her affair with someone else. It is unknown where she went after being kicked out. Some say that she had died a long time ago, some say that she left the capital to follow that man, and so on.

Gu Junqing had never seen the Miss Chu You who was famous for her talent in the capital, but he had only seen the Miss Mu You in front of him.

It was only recently that I learned from others about the origin of this dance and that these days, more and more men have come to see Miss Mu You. I don’t know if it’s because of Mu You herself or because of her Colorful Feather Dance that made her famous.

"General Gu is right. I was indeed a daughter of an official family."

Mu You admitted it readily, with no expression on his face, as if he was not at all troubled by the matter.

Ji Rang, who was standing by, was stunned as he listened to this unfolding. He then moved his eyes, opened them, and watched Gu Junqing nod. He was a little unsure why Gu Junqing asked this.

Even if that person was the Chu You of that year, what use would it be to Gu Junqing if she knew that. She had traveled far to the border that year, so how could she have known Chu You, the daughter of the Chu family in the capital.

Since he doesn't know her, but now he is determined to find Miss Mu You, who has become the most popular courtesan in Yihong Tower, could it be that he wants to get involved in the Chu family's mess?

Gu Junqing, who had her back to Ji Rang, did not notice his puzzled gaze. She just felt a subconscious pang in her heart when she saw Mu You admit it.

It just happens to match. In the previous life, there were rumors that the daughter who was driven away by the Chu family was killed, but they were just rumors and soon such rumors disappeared.

She just happened to hear Duan Jun say it at that time, but she didn't take it to heart. At this time in her previous life, she happened to be under house arrest in the general's mansion by the late emperor who was still alive at the time and was not allowed to go out.

So she used some information she knew in her previous life to come to the conclusion that Zhang Qing, the priest of Guantian Temple, was suspected of having an affair with a man. The poor daughter of Chu Mansion was driven out of her home and became the courtesan of Yihonglou out of desperation. Later, she was bought by Zhang Qing to accompany him for a day including the night, but was killed by the courtesan in a private room at night.

What's more, Zhang Qing was a scoundrel. In addition to the courtesan, there were other maids and other girls around him that night, so several maids witnessed how the courtesan took action. She even admitted that there was no injustice. Chu Fu Chu You, I'm talking about the person in front of me.

It's just that everything that happened in the previous life has not happened yet. Even if the girl Mu You in front of him is the real murderer who killed Zhang Qing in the previous life, that is naturally a matter of the previous life. Now Mu You has not taken action yet. She has just become the most popular girl in Yihonglou. Zhang Qing has not come to Yihonglou to seek pleasure yet. I believe Mu You needs to spend some time planning now.

Seeing Mu You being so calm and open-minded today, Gu Junqing nodded in his heart, and his desire to make him one of his own became stronger, but it was not appropriate to talk about these things now.

Although he was thinking about something, Gu Junqing remained expressionless. He had an expression of scrutiny and inquiry, and there was no mockery or disdain in his eyes towards her. This made Mu You feel more favorable towards Gu Junqing in her heart, and her expression became even softer.

She lowered her head, with a reserved smile on her face, which was graceful and shy like a girl, and her voice seemed to contain some timidity:

"The present is different from the past. I am no longer the Chuyou of the past. Since I entered this brothel, I have decided to abandon my past innocence. I am grateful to the two adults for their kindness. I would like to thank them for coming to visit me. However, it is getting late. I am afraid that I need to change my clothes so that I can chat with the two adults. What do you think?"

After admitting that she was Miss Chu You of the Chu family, Mu You suddenly lost interest in chatting with them, and her words even seemed to want to drive them away.

Ji Rang thought that Gu Junqing would not give up and wanted to continue asking, but he saw her nod, waved to Mu You obediently and turned around. Her back was originally facing him, but because she turned around, Ji Rang saw that Gu Junqing's expression remained unchanged, still indifferent, but after glancing at him, she walked towards the door, then took a step and left here without looking back. Her decisive look made Ji Rang stunned for a moment, and then he followed closely.

Could it be that this person spent money just to ask this question?

Mu You, who was stroking her long hair, looked outside the door, her eyes full of confusion and bewilderment.

Then he could ask the maid beside him to close the door of the box.

Talk about this.

Gu Junqing had left the room not long ago. She was thinking about something and didn't look up much. However, when she was about to bump into the person in front of her, she reacted very quickly and stopped. Then she took two steps back and looked up at the person in front of her. However, just when she saw the face of the person in front of her clearly, Gu Junqing's expression changed slightly and she looked at the opposite side with a bit of strangeness.

Ji Rang was watching from behind but didn't see Gu Junqing's expression clearly. When he saw her take a few steps back, he subconsciously reached out to catch the person, but when her hand was halfway out, she stopped and stood still.

Ji Rang had no choice but to clench his fist and retract his hand. Then he raised his head and looked at the person in front of him. He happened to know him, so he raised his usual gentle fake smile and greeted him:

"It's Mr. Zhang. What a coincidence that you also come to Yihonglou for a feast."

The person in front of him, whom Ji Rang called Lord Zhang, was Zhang Qing, the priest of Guantian Temple.

It really is whoever comes.

Gu Junqing let out a breath, and then, like Ji Rang, he simply gave Zhang Qing a lukewarm greeting and stopped talking.

Seeing that Gu Junqing seemed unwilling to pay attention to him, Zhang Qing simply turned his attention to Ji Rang.

Ji Rang exchanged greetings with him for a while, and seeing that Gu Junqing was still waiting for him, he quickly said goodbye to him, walked to Gu Junqing's side and whispered, "Let's go." Gu Junqing looked at him, followed Ji Rang's footsteps and completely left Yihonglou and came to the streets of Beijing.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Master Zhang?"

Seeing Gu Junqing shaking his head as if unwilling to say anything more, Ji Rang shrugged and was too lazy to continue asking.
