Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

The late-night snack consisted of three side dishes and a soup; it looked pretty good.

Long Chuqing didn't stand on ceremony with him, drank a bowl of soup, and then buried her head in her food.

Xiao Han ate very elegantly.

It was already midnight, and it was quiet outside. During the meal, neither of them spoke. Long Chuqing was really hungry and ate very quickly.

She finished the last bite of her food, put down her chopsticks, and said, "I'm full. You can eat slowly."

He then picked up the teapot next to him and poured himself a cup of tea.

Xiao Han raised his eyelids and glanced at her: "Didn't you just say you were very hungry?"

Long Chuqing blew on a mouthful of hot tea and looked at him: "That's right, I was very hungry just now."

"But I noticed you only ate a little bit. Is the food not to your liking?"

Long Chuqing put down her teacup, which was a little hot to the touch: "No, no, it's delicious. It's just that I have a small stomach, so I can't eat much at once. I can only eat when I'm hungry."

Xiao Han ate his meal casually, thinking that women eat very little in order to maintain their figures and make excuses.

"Oh, how do you know your stomach is small? Did you cut it open and see? Or are you different from others?"

Long Chuqing rested her chin on her hands, looked at him, and said calmly, "I really did cut it open. I was seriously injured at the time, and it went right through my stomach. Because I didn't get timely treatment, the wound got infected, so they removed a small part of my stomach. But I didn't cut it myself; someone else did the surgery for me."

Xiao Han paused, his hand still holding the food. He had only meant to tease him: "Really?"

"Are you kidding me? But it's nothing serious, it's all healed now."

Xiao Han thought for a moment, then looked at her slyly: "But I've seen your stomach, and there isn't a single scar on it."

Long Chuqing pulled her clothes tighter and glared at her: "I have plenty of scar removal medicine. Judging from your expression, you've never seen anything good before."

"Damn it, that bastard is flirting with me," she cursed inwardly.

She thought for a moment, then smiled and rested her chin on her hand, saying, "Scar removal medicine, do you want some? I'll give you a 20% discount since we've known each other for a while. I guarantee it will remove the scars."

She suddenly realized that she was now out of money and in a difficult situation, so she thought she would ask him if he needed the ointment and sell it to him to earn some money.

Xiao Han continued eating elegantly: "No, I'm not a woman. What kind of scar removal medicine would a grown man use?"

Long Chuqing pouted. "Today's opening is unlucky! No way, the first transaction here has to be completed, otherwise all sorts of bad luck will follow."

"Ahem..." she cleared her throat and smiled, "Even if you don't need it now, you might need it later!"

"Look, you'll have to get married someday! And your wife will want to look good! This scar removal cream of mine also has whitening and beautifying effects!"

"And your wife will get pregnant in the future, right? When a woman gets pregnant, her belly will stretch and she will get stretch marks. I'll apply this medicine and I guarantee she won't get stretch marks. Even if she does get them, they will disappear after giving birth. I guarantee you won't be able to see a trace of them," she said enthusiastically.

She looked at Xiao Han, smiled and winked: "How about it, want two bottles? The original price is one hundred taels a bottle, but now I'm giving you a huge discount, half price for friendship, one hundred taels for two bottles."

"When people come to me asking for medicine, I don't even have time to deal with it! I'll think about it."

This woman... should we say she's bold, or just incredibly audacious? She's actually started a business! He'd never seen a woman like her before; he found it both amusing and exasperating.

He calmly picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth and ate it: "I won't consider it. Besides, you're selling it at such a high price, most people can't afford it."

Long Chuqing scoffed and glanced at him, "Tch, don't make being stingy sound so righteous. You only know that I sell my medicine at a high price, but do you know how many good medicinal herbs I use to make one bottle of medicine? A whole pot of precious medicinal herbs, and only a little bit of ointment is made from them. My labor and time are all money, and that has to be taken into account."

"Alright, alright, forget it if you don't want to buy it. Talking about it has made my mouth dry and I'm hungry," he said, picking up his chopsticks again to eat.

Xiao Han put down his chopsticks, looked at her, and shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, since you're working so hard to sell it, I'll buy two bottles. Give them to me," he said, holding out his hand.

Long Chuqing looked at his outstretched hand, pursed her lips in silence, and then gave an awkward laugh: "Haha... I didn't bring it with me today, another day, another day."

Sigh, I was so focused on selling that I forgot I didn't have any medicine on hand.

Suddenly, she remembered something very important: Where am I? How did I get here?

She suddenly stood up, forgetting her injured foot. "Hiss..." she hissed in pain, gripping the table and frowning.

Xiao Han watched her series of actions and silently mourned for her for three seconds. What happened now?

Long Chuqing paused for a moment, then slammed her hand on the table and pointed at Xiao Han angrily, saying, "Tell me who you are, where you are, why I am here, and why I woke up in your bed."

She must have been confused from the fall to remember these things now.

Xiao Han was processing the barrage of questions she was asking. She didn't know who he was, where he was, or why she was there. This girl's reaction time was a bit slow! She was only asking now.

"You'd better explain yourself, or I'll kill you," Long Chuqing said angrily, her arms crossed over her chest.

"I don't know either, but we can ask someone," he said calmly.

Xiao Han called Qingying Qingtong in.

After Qingying Qingtong entered, he bowed to Xiao Han and greeted him, "Your Highness."

Qingying thought for a moment, then greeted Long Chuqing, "Hello, Miss Qian, you're awake."

He saw that Long Chuqing was awake and still eating, so he figured she was alright, and his guilt lessened a bit.

Xiao Han looked at the bronze-green figure and said seriously, "This young lady says she wants to know where this place is, who I am, and how she got here. Please explain."

“If she is not satisfied with your answer, you will each receive thirty strokes of the cane.”

The bronze-green shadow immediately clenched its buttocks.

Long Chuqing sat down and waited for an explanation.

Qing Tong tugged at Qing Ying's sleeve, "Hurry up and speak, speak properly." He didn't want to get a spanking!

Qingying had no choice but to explain the situation: "This is the Qin Prince's residence. The gentleman sitting next to you is our prince, named Xiao Han."

She glanced at Xiao Han furtively as she spoke, and seeing that he wasn't angry, she continued.

"Tonight, our prince was ambushed and poisoned. The doctor in the manor is unable to find an antidote. The doctor said that to cure the poison, the prince must be with a woman. Since our prince is unmarried and has no concubines, and the maids in the manor are not pretty, we secretly planned to find one outside."

"It was late at night, so I had to go to brothels and spend money to find someone. I went to Yuexi Tower and told the madam that I needed a beautiful, innocent girl who had never served anyone. The madam took me to the backyard to see the girl. At that time, the girl was still unconscious. I thought Miss Qian was very pretty, so it wouldn't be a waste for our prince."

Bronze glared at him, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "Too much nonsense, get to the point."

Qingying touched her nose, thought about it carefully again, and continued to explain.

“I saw that the girl was unconscious, which was really unfair. I hesitated and wanted to leave. The madam probably thought that Miss Qian was about to die and was in a hurry to get rid of her. She said she would give me a discount. I saw that the madam was eager to get rid of the girl, but I was afraid that she would sell Miss Qian to some old man or ugly man. So I gritted my teeth and spent five thousand taels to bring Miss Qian back.”
