Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang
Chapter 103 The Substitute Actress Counterattacks Bai Yueguang (8)
If Shen Zhongli hadn't fallen in love with Shi Qing, she would not tolerate it and would definitely make this little bitch suffer.
Shi Qing looked at his mother innocently and asked in confusion.
"What are you talking about, mother? You asked me to serve Master Shen well, so I naturally didn't dare to run away. I just missed Yanyu Tower and came back to visit."
The girl was born with unparalleled beauty and a very cute appearance, so she reluctantly believed what he said.
"That's good. I treated you well in the past. Please help me say a few good words in front of the adults."
Shi Qing recalled that the original owner had actually received quite a bit of reward money in the brothel, but because of his soft personality, he pocketed it all privately from his mother, which amounted to no less than a hundred taels.
That was the original owner's hard-earned money. Shi Qing didn't intend to give it to his mother for free. He wanted her to at least give some of it back.
She said somewhat embarrassedly, "Although I am loved by the master, he goes to my room and makes trouble every few days, but..."
Shi Qing's cheeks were flushed, and her shy look made Xiang's mother think that she had captured Shen Zhongli's heart.
"Just what? Tell me!"
Shi Qing sighed, "There's a concubine named Qian in the mansion. Although she's not as beautiful as I am, she comes from a merchant family. She has endless money to squander, while I only have two taels of silver. It's really... difficult to move forward!"
After saying that, she pretended to be aggrieved and wiped the corners of her eyes, as if wiping away tears.
"Originally, I should have some money on me, but years ago, I asked mother to keep it for me. Now I am short of money and don't know what to say. I hope to ask mother for help..."
Tuanzi secretly gave Shi Qing a thumbs up. He was worthy of being the host. He spoke about asking for money in such a fresh and refined way. I'm afraid Xiang's mother would not be able to handle it.
Xiang regretted listening to others' instigation and wanted to scold Shi Qing. She had gained a lot of benefits from Shi Qing in the past few years.
After all, she is pretty and the reward money she receives each time is at least a few hundred taels. Yanyu Tower is a den of money and most of the people who come here are not short of money.
In just a few years, Xiang Mama earned more than 10,000 taels of silver, and the money she gave to Shi Qing was only enough for food and clothing.
Of course she could hear what Shi Qing was thinking, that he was asking her for money. She cursed him helplessly, "What a debt collector!"
However, Xiang's mother had other concerns in her mind. Shen Zhongli was the Minister of Dali Temple and was still very young, only about 27 years old.
In the future, his position in the court might even rise, but it’s hard to say.
It was this point that made Xiang's mother think about it and decide to take a gamble and give Shi Qing some money. Maybe this little hoof would be filial to her in the future.
"You are a girl from our Misty Rain Tower. You must not lose face. Here is five hundred taels of silver. You can keep it and use it slowly. Don't forget to speak well of us in front of Lord Shen in the future. Understand?"
Shi Qing looked at his naked hands and sighed.
"That merchant girl won the old lady's favor and was rewarded with one thousand taels of silver last month. I saw the pair of bracelets in your hands. They are made of translucent jade and are very beautiful..."
Xiang's mother quickly put her hands away, and her cheeks, which were covered with powder, were wrinkled with strong dissatisfaction.
"I absolutely cannot give you this bracelet, Yunqing, please don't be too demanding. These five hundred taels of silver are my last token of gratitude."
Shi Qing said quietly, "Mother Xiang, if I win the favor of Lord Shen, it will be convenient for you in the future. If you send me to Lord Shen's house as a concubine, isn't that also opening up a new door for yourself? Isn't it?"
Xiang's mother seemed to be thinking about something. She almost gritted her teeth as she took off the jade bracelet in her hand, and asked someone to prepare five hundred taels of silver and handed it to Shi Qing.
"Never mind. I'll give it all to you."
Lu Ya was stunned watching from the side. Oh my god, is this the stingy guy who usually comes to his mother?
It's really unbelievable that Xiang's mother has given so many favors to her own daughter.
Shi Qing put on the bracelet, collected the banknotes given by his mother, and put them in his purse. He finally felt safe.
She smiled sweetly at Xiang's mother and said, "Thank you, Xiang's mother. In return, I will help you with your fortune."
Xiang's mother obviously didn't believe it, "You can tell fortunes? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Shi Qing smiled calmly, "I was the one who read Madam Zhao's fortune last time. I said she would die suddenly within three days. Today happens to be the third day. Madam Xiang, don't you think it was accurate?"
She smiled brightly, but somehow her mother felt that her smile was too eerie, and her back felt slightly cold.
Thinking of how Madam Zhao died, even she found it horrifying.
Although Aunt Zhao was sent to a mass grave for burial, Xiang Mama's anxiety had not subsided...
Hearing Shi Qing say this at this moment, it is inevitable that other thoughts will arise.
"This hexagram was really calculated by you..."
Shi Qing nodded without hesitation, "Isn't it accurate? Let me tell you a fortune for you, Mom!"
His mother's lips turned pale, and he nodded inexplicably, "Okay, tell me a fortune!"
After telling his mother, Shi Qing twisted his fingers and told fortunes, saying in a deep voice.
"Mother Xiang has had good fortune lately, but her forehead is dark. There may be disasters soon. If you encounter a burly, bearded man who breaks into our Misty Rain Tower, remember to chase him away, otherwise, Misty Rain Tower will be in trouble!"
As soon as the words fell, someone retorted, "Mother Xiang treated you so well, and this is how you repay her? Yunqing, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
Shi Qing stood up, glanced at Xier who was speaking with a meaningful look, and sneered.
"Whether it's a curse or a reminder, you'll know soon enough. If it weren't for the silver gift from my mother, I wouldn't waste my breath on it!"
Xiang Mama was the madam of Yanyu Tower. Although she was not a good person, she did not force the original owner to entertain customers.
Perhaps he took pity on her young age, but later on, he showed no mercy when he took advantage of the original owner.
These five hundred taels of silver and the jade bracelet are my money to buy my mother's life and give her a fortune.
According to the original plot, Xiang's mother will die on a rainy day five days later, the door of Fangtingyuan will be pried open, the locust tree will be dug up, and the evidence that was painstakingly preserved will be destroyed.
As for who the person sent is, there is no way to know. Maybe it is the right prime minister's man, or maybe it is the fifth prince's man.
Shi Qing stood up and bowed slightly as a greeting, then left Yanyu Tower with Lu Ya.
Xiang Mama felt her whole body tremble, and her blood almost flowed backwards, but she did not dare to look down on Shi Qing. Before Zhao Mama passed away, she also talked about Shi Qing's hexagram, but she said it as a joke.
However, the sudden death of Madam Zhao also proved that Shi Qing's divination was correct.
"Mother Xiang, Yun Qing's words might be nonsense. Do you really want to believe them?"
Xiang Mom was silent for a long time and didn't say anything.
When people are faced with information related to their life and death, most of them choose to believe it in order to save their lives, and Xiang's mother is the same at this moment.

He shook his head at his mother and said coldly to Xier beside him.
"It's better to believe it than not. Send someone to guard the Misty Rain Tower for the next two days. If anyone runs away, arrest them and report them to the police."
"Yes, the servant understands."
Xier was a little surprised. She didn't expect that her mother would agree to the matter so easily.
She had no choice but to go down and do as she was told, but she was still skeptical about Shi Qing's ability to tell fortunes.
However, the death of Madam Zhao served as a warning to everyone in the Misty Rain Tower.
Yun Qing is no longer the same as before. Although she is only the concubine of the Dali Temple Minister now, there is no guarantee that she will not get a higher position in the future. It seems that she cannot be offended.
When Shi Qing left Yanyu Tower, everyone looked at her with a bit of panic in their eyes, and one could even occasionally hear people calling her a "disaster star" and a "jinx".
She didn't take it seriously at all. She just glanced at the gossipy girl from Yanyu Tower and sneered as she left.
"You all know that I'm a jinx. You're saying bad things about me behind my back and criticizing me. Aren't you worried that I might harm you?"
Everyone was shocked and fled in panic.
They didn't expect Shi Qing to speak so bluntly. Until this moment, breathing suddenly became difficult, and they no longer dared to say bad things about Shi Qing in front of him.
Shi Qing left with Lu Ya and several hundred taels of silver. She was very busy and had no time to deal with these people here.
After getting on the carriage, Lu Ya looked at Shi Qing's bulging purse and said with a smile.
"Mother Xiang is so reluctant to give up. It's really not easy for Miss to get money from her. This is enough to prove that Mother Xiang is no match for Miss."
Shi Qing looked at the purse in his hand and smiled calmly.
"She's not willing to give me money, but she's interested in the money she spends on me. If my status rises in the future, she'll naturally get much more than the five hundred taels she gave me now."
She picked up the teacup beside her, took a sip of tea, and said calmly.
"Either way, she won't lose money, and this money is not a random investment."
The world moves for profit. Xiang Mama is a businesswoman, so of course she won't do business at a loss. As for the hexagram she gave, it was just a favor to go with the flow.
It will always be useful in the future.
The carriage was moving slowly along the long street. Shi Qing lifted the curtain and his eyes fell on two shops not far away. One was Tao Ji Roast Chicken and the other was a soft and glutinous pastry shop.
The old lady and Shen Zhongli both liked it. Thinking that they would stay in the Shen Mansion for a while, Shi Qing suddenly had an idea and asked Lu Ya to buy a few boxes of snacks and pack two roast chickens before getting on the carriage.
The carriage slowly moved towards the Shen Mansion. When it reached the end of the long street, Shi Qing felt that someone had stopped the carriage.
"Girl, stay."
The man spoke in a low voice, with an unquestionable tone and a very tough attitude. It must be no one else except the newly returned Governor Dou Yao.
Shi Qing asked the driver to stop, stood up and walked down, saluting Dou Yao.
"I, your concubine, greet Lord Dou."
The man was handsome, and there was a smile in his cold eyes.
Shi Qing raised her eyebrows. Speaking of which, when she sent someone to deliver the letter to Dou Wenjin, she also checked Dou Yao's identity and his ending.
However, there was no connection between Dou Yao and the original owner. All they knew was that Dou Yao was proficient in both civil and military affairs.
So the person she wanted to cling to at the beginning was Dou Yao.
Tuanzi brought the gossip from the capital, and Shi Qing learned that Dou Yao had made considerable contributions in suppressing the bandits in half a month. Many ministers submitted memorials, asking Emperor Wenchang to reward the governor generously.
Although Lord Dou is both civil and military, his martial arts are so outstanding that it would be a waste if he were to be a civil servant. The battlefield of the imperial court needs passionate men.
Lord Dou is only twenty-five years old, in the prime of his life, and has a bright future.
This time when I return to Beijing, the current emperor will start to reward people according to their merits, so naturally I cannot be careless.
Rumors were circulating in the capital that there was a vacant position of general in the capital, and Emperor Wenchang was very likely to let Dou Yao return to the capital and grant him the title of general.
However, these are palace secrets, no one knows the details, and it all depends on the decision of the monarch.
Dou Yao was dressed in a white robe that was spotless. He looked handsome and cold, as if he was out of touch with the world.
"Miss, if you have nothing to do, why don't you go to Zui Xiang Lou and have a seat?"
Lu Ya subconsciously protected Shi Qing behind her, looked at Dou Yao nervously, and asked like a protective child.
"Sir, my young lady has to return to the mansion. She is a woman in the back house and it is inconvenient for her to meet with you privately. If the news gets to the Shen Mansion, how will my young lady survive?"
Lu Ya's words were very appropriate. She was indeed worried that something might happen to Shi Qing, so she was very nervous at the moment.
Dou Yao seemed to be thinking about something, perhaps feeling that he had not considered it carefully enough, and said in a deep voice.
"There are private rooms in Zui Xiang Lou. There won't be any other guests here today. I just have something to ask you, young lady. Don't be nervous."
Shi Qing noticed how he addressed him and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
She was a concubine, but Dou Yao actually addressed her as "Miss", which was quite interesting.
She went along with it and said, "It seems that the Master also has something extremely important to do. Well, I will go with the Master."
After saying that, Shi Qing and Lu Ya stepped into Zui Xiang Lou. She had a veil on her head, so others couldn't tell her identity.
The group walked to the private room on the second floor. Dou Yao pushed the door open and walked in, then asked the waiter to start serving the dishes.
Shi Qing pretended to be uneasy as she sat on the couch. When she looked at Dou Yao, her voice trembled slightly, and she acted like a humble concubine perfectly.
"If you have anything to say, please speak frankly."
Dou Yao chuckled, looking at Shi Qing with burning eyes, and lifted her chin slightly, forcing her to look at him.
"Yesterday at the Shen Mansion, weren't you deliberately trying to attract my attention? Miss Yun, who are you? Do you have a grudge against the Shen family?"
He seemed to be smiling, but the gloom in his eyes made people feel very cold. Shi Qing secretly raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that he also knew what was going on in his mind. It seemed that he came prepared.
"Isn't the Lord also investigating the secrets of the Shen Mansion? As for why he caught the Lord's attention, it's naturally because he was attracted by your beauty..."
As she spoke, she hooked Dou Yao's neck and kissed him without hesitation.
The guards on both sides immediately appeared with their swords drawn, especially Shadow, who looked as if his master's innocence had been taken away, with the blade in his hand almost against Shi Qing's neck.
"How dare you offend an adult? Where do you get the courage?"
Dou Yao's ears turned slightly red. He awkwardly pushed Shi Qing away and wiped the traces of her off his face. In his heart, he wished he could strangle this fearless girl to death.
However, when his eyes fell on Shi Qing's beautiful face, he finally endured it again and again.
Never mind, Shi Qing is so pretty, I won't bother with her...
Shi Qing didn't know that she had escaped a disaster because of her beauty, and her mind was working rapidly at this moment.
