Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

Xie Qingyu had her back to the stairs at the moment. After glancing at them, she turned back and could hear them talking after they went upstairs.

Tingling originally wanted to tell Xie Qingyu that she had met the young master, but she immediately fell silent after seeing the expression on Xie Qingyu's face.

"My lord has always been generous to me," the beautiful woman said coquettishly.

Qin Lingrong was clearly pleased with those words. "Of course, I'm the most generous when it comes to you!"

Xie Qingyu frowned involuntarily as she listened to Qin Lingrong addressing her as "Master" repeatedly.

It seems that the money Qin Lingrong asked for from Madam Hou today will be used for this purpose.

Because of his poor health since childhood, Qin Lingrong is somewhat thin and even has difficulty filling out his clothes.

Lady Hou's appearance was not outstanding, and Qin Lingrong inherited this trait completely, being plain-looking as well.

If it weren't for his formal attire, he wouldn't look like a legitimate son of a marquis's family.

It's probably because he lacks masculine physical attributes that he deliberately emphasizes himself in his speech.

Just as Xie Qingyu had expected, Qin Lingrong didn't notice Xie Qingyu and Tingling after he came up, and went straight to the private room on the second floor.

Once inside the private room, the manager would present the esteemed guest with the gestures they wished to see.

Qin Lingrong must have come here quite often, Xie Qingyu noticed that the servants around her were getting restless when they saw him arrive.

Not long after Qin Lingrong went inside, a plump shopkeeper came up, followed by two servants carrying trays covered with satin, so that no one could see what was inside.

Xie Qingyu had no intention of meeting Qin Lingrong today.

Her mission target wasn't Qin Lingrong; his playing around outside was none of her business, and it might even be more beneficial for her to complete her mission.

It wasn't the right time to use Qin Lingrong yet, so Xie Qingyu pretended she hadn't witnessed the incident.

After browsing around upstairs, Xie Qingyu went downstairs for a while, silently observing the amount of money the store had made during that time.

Before Qin Lingrong came out, Xie Qingyu had already taken Tingling to the next shop.

The second shop Xie Qingyu visited was a pharmacy.

If a cosmetics shop is obviously thriving, then a pharmacy is likely to be a good business.

After Xie Qingyu arrived, she didn't go inside. Instead, she randomly ordered two dishes from the food stall across the street and asked Tingling to sit down and rest with her.

Although Tingling didn't know Xie Qingyu's intentions, she was obedient.

The two women sat opposite the pharmacy, looking like women who had come out to have a proper meal, even their clothes were rather understated.

The separation of men and women was not strictly enforced in this dynasty, as evidenced by Qin Shenzhi's ability to freely enter the inner courtyard.

Xie Qingyu and the other girl sitting here didn't seem out of place.

The street was very lively. Besides the restaurant where they were and the pharmacy across the street, there were also fabric shops, clothing stores, and grain and oil shops...

The pharmacy's business seemed rather bleak compared to other shops.

However, it is absolutely not accurate to say that there is no business.

While they were eating, the pharmacy had already dispensed medicine to three or four people who came in, according to their prescriptions.

Besides the shopkeeper, there were three employees in the shop. With four people working in such a large shop, it's hard to imagine that the shop was losing money.

This situation is similar to what Xie Qingyu had imagined.

Having obtained the information she wanted to know, Xie Qingyu abandoned her plan to go in, withdrew her gaze, and waited for Tingling to finish eating the food in her bowl and return.

The unexpected happened at this time.

Xie Qingyu's gaze was on Tingling, but she could only hear the chaotic noise behind her.

"Miss, be careful!" Tingling was facing the street behind Xie Qingyu. Upon seeing the situation, she immediately grabbed Xie Qingyu's arm and pulled her to the side, shouting loudly.

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingyu immediately dodged to the side, the sound of horses' hooves right behind her.

They were sitting at tables set up outside food stalls, which, like other vendors, occupied some of the road space.

Originally, it was just pedestrians coming and going, so it didn't have any impact.

Someone appeared out of nowhere and rode through the bustling city on horseback. Even though Xie Qingyu didn't turn her head and dodged to the side, the horse's raised hoof almost kicked her in the back.

"Miss!" Tingling watched this scene with wide eyes, but she couldn't muster any strength to pull Xie Qingyu.

The sound of the whip pierced the air, almost brushing past Xie Qingyu's ear, making her eardrums ache.

The whip wrapped around the horse's leg, and the uncontrollable horse fell backward, throwing the rider off the horse as well.

People dressed in uniform black robes with gold-embroidered cranes chased after them and captured the man.

It's obvious that the person in front committed a crime.

Xie Qingyu only turned around to look at it at this moment.

The first person she saw was Qin Shenzhi.

He was almost completely different from the man I had seen at the Lady Hou's place that morning.

Regardless of the dynasty, wearing a uniform always seems to make a person look more elegant, and the same is true today.

However, even though several people were wearing the same clothes, Qin Shenzhi still stood out among them.

His tall stature is likely one reason, and another might be his strikingly handsome face.

His gaze fell on the person on the ground. Only after the other two members of the Imperial Guard dragged the person away did Qin Shenzhi turn his attention to Xie Qingyu.

Tingling was extremely nervous just now, but when she saw Qin Shenzhi looking over, she whispered in Xie Qingyu's ear, "It was the second young master who used the whip to wrap around the horse's leg, otherwise the horse's leg would have fallen on your back."

They were at the street corner when this man rode up on horseback, his first target being Xie Qingyu.

"Thank you, sir." Xie Qingyu bowed to Qin Shenzhi.

Qin Shenzhi's eyebrows twitched slightly after hearing Xie Qingyu's words.

"Sister-in-law, you've been frightened. You should return to the Marquis of Zhongyong's residence as soon as possible," Qin Shenzhi said to Xie Qingyu, seemingly out of concern.

Only Xie Qingyu, who was standing opposite him staring at him, could sense the malice in his words from his expression.

Xie Qingyu did not identify anyone on the street, which means that she did not want to reveal her identity in public.

Qin Shenzhi noticed this and insisted on pointing it out, even specifying the Marquis of Zhongyong's residence.

Based on this alone, one can know Xie Qingyu's identity without even asking around.

Qin Lingrong is the only married young master in the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion.

The only person who can be called 'sister-in-law' is Xie Qingyu.

Xie Qingyu carefully recalled and confirmed that the original owner had no interaction with Qin Shenzhi.

Therefore, there was no intention for Qin Shenzhi to retaliate.

He was simply of a despicable nature, or perhaps he only wanted to do anything that would damage the reputation of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion.

Xie Qingyu couldn't determine which situation it was from his statement alone.

All she knew was that Qin Shenzhi, who was standing in front of her, revealed a seemingly harmless but malicious smile when he saw her understanding in her gaze.

Even Xie Qingyu was the only one who could sense this malice.
