"I am Liu Yueshan, from Jinguan City."

Liu Yueshan's real age is actually less than two years older than Wang Xiuwei. Her face, like Tantai Jing's, is specially plastered, and a gentle face can be vaguely discerned under the plaster.

Mu Qing asked: "Then what happened to you?"

Liu Yueshan's fingers were not stained with any mud, and were much cleaner than the face she deliberately covered. She reached out with trembling hands, touched the swaddled little face, covered the swaddled little face with soft and white cotton, and finally accepted the reality.

She lowered her head and said in tears: "My husband is the commander of City Lord Bai's bodyguard, but he was betrayed by his brothers on the night of the incident. Thanks to my husband's loyal men, my children and I were sent out of the city in the chaos. Unfortunately, those brothers later tried to block the pursuers. The soldiers never came back."

Mu Qing frowned and said, "City Lord Bai?"

Wang Yeqing understood immediately and explained: "It should be Bai Ting from Jinguan City."

"Yes." Liu Yueshan murmured and recalled: "It happened so suddenly. I was woken up by my servants in my sleep. I didn't bring anything with me except my child."

Mu Qing asked: "If you go this way, do you have any family members with you?"

Liu Yueshan was stunned for a moment, then said with a numb face: "It's gone, it's gone now."

Wang Xiuwei guessed: "Did something happen because he was implicated?"

Liu Yueshan said calmly: "My father didn't let me in that night, and I didn't want to implicate them, so I left by myself. Later, I had no other choice, so I just mingled with the refugees and followed them for a few days before I came here. . Fortunately, those people saw that I was taking care of my children, so they took some care of me, and occasionally got some food, otherwise I would have died long ago."

"A married daughter is thrown out of water. If her husband's family is gone, how can there be any natal family?" Wang Yeqing sat aside and shook his head, looking at Liu Yueshan and said: "Since your husband is the commander of the personal guard, I guess you As a housewife, you still have some ability to take care of the housework, I wonder what you are good at?"

Mu Qing's eyes lit up, knowing that Wang Yeqing planned to keep Liu Yueshan, and Liu Yueshan also understood what everyone meant. After being silent for a moment, she said softly: "Before I got married, I managed the business for my family for a period of time. I can clear and check the accounts, and after I got married, I have always been in charge of the family’s money expenses.”

This woman's ability is not something that ordinary people can master. Mu Qing felt a little unsure and looked at Wang Yeqing and said: "Madam, what do you think?"

Wang Yeqing shook his head and smiled: "It's not what I think. Even if you return to Suzaku City and open a shop to make a living, it's Xiaowei's business. You should ask her."

Wang Xiuwei looked at Liu Yueshan and nodded: "Sister, you are considered a fugitive."

Liu Yueshan lowered his head and hummed. Mu Qing was also a little embarrassed. Wang Xiuwei said quickly: "Don't misunderstand me." She said with a smile: "I heard that the daughter of the lord of Jinguan City also escaped. This Shu Le The city's strict inspection may have something to do with this matter. You don't have to worry too much, just follow us."

Liu Yueshan nodded, seeing that Mu Qing and Wang Xiuwei didn't seem to be a family, she shook her head again, looked at Mu Qing and asked, "I wonder if my benefactor and this girl are together?"

Mu Qing nodded and said, "We are together. I should go to Suzaku City with Sister Xiuwei and the others."

Wang Xiu smiled slightly and said: "Brother, you have misunderstood what Sister Liu meant. You and I can only be regarded as friends, not together."

Liu Yueshan hesitated for a moment and then said seriously: "Miss, please forgive me."

"Oh, you don't want to?" Wang Xiuwei understood what Liu Yueshan meant.

Mu Qing was about to frown and speak when Liu Yueshan looked directly at him and said, "Young Master wants me to repay your kindness. I wonder if there is a shortage of people in the Young Master's family. I can even do the work of serving tea and water."

"Pfft..." There was a smile in Wang Xiuwei's eyes, and he looked at Mu Qing and said: "That's indeed the case. Since Sister Liu knows that you and I are only friends on the same journey, I should repay my kindness to you. How can I repay my kindness? The truth behind reporting the wrong person.”

Mu Qing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, asking Liu Yueshan to repay his kindness, but it was because the other party's heart was about to die, and he wanted to give the other party a chance to survive. How could he have thought that after a long time, the matter would still fall on him.

Seeing that Mu Qing had been silent, Liu Yueshan gently patted the baby in her arms and opened and closed her mouth silently, as if coaxing her to sleep. She raised her head and, for the first time, suppressed a smile and said, "Young Master, you don't have to be so embarrassed. Yes, I just need to bury the child so that I can find a job to survive."

Wang Yeqing raised her long eyebrows and said nothing. Her husband was dead and she had no children. Let alone an ordinary woman with no cultivation. If everything happened to her, she asked herself, she might not be able to hold on. Her natal family is not her home. In these troubled times, this woman said she would commit suicide after burying her child.

Liu Yueshan's smile was extremely dazzling. After being extremely sad, the smile she suppressed really didn't want to drag down her sincere wish to avoid trouble.

Mu Qing looked at Liu Yueshan, sighed, and said seriously: "I am silent because I am used to being alone and have no fixed place to live."

He blinked and smiled: "In other words, I am an orphan and I have no home."

Wang Xiuwei's eyes widened with curiosity, but he didn't ask anything. Wang Yeqing sat aside and pursed her lips slightly, but she became more and more sure of one thing. She reorganized all the information and possibilities in her heart, and came up with the most reasonable information so far, that is, Mu Qing is not from the Lin family in Xishan. , Mu Qing's rescue of people that night was most likely related to Liu Weirui. As for what happened to Mu Qing and Liu Weirui, she couldn't guess.

When Mu Qing mentioned his identity as an orphan, he was actually observing Wang Yeqing, whom he had been wary of. When he saw the other person's eyelids moving slightly in thought, he took the initiative to smile at Wang Yeqing and asked: "I don't know if Mrs. Wang is coming back this time." In this township, are there any old houses that are vacant?”

Wang Yeqing raised his head and looked at him and asked, "Do you still want her to be with us?"

Mu Qing shook his head and said: "No, if Madam wants to buy a mansion and yard, you can check where there are vacant houses for sale. I should have five hundred taels of gold with me. I wonder if I can buy a house?"

"Should? Five hundred taels of gold?" Wang Yeqing was confused in his heart, but he said with a smile: "My husband's old house in Suzaku City has been sold long ago. I really have to buy a new house when I go back this time. If there are not many people, , a three-entry courtyard is most suitable. No matter how good the location is, it should not cost more than 800 taels. The three-entry houses in Jinguan City near the city lord's palace are also priced at this price."

"Eight hundred taels..." Mu Qing was not sensitive to money. Wang Xiuwei calculated it for him and sighed with a smile: "It's almost sixty taels of gold. You can definitely buy something bigger with your money."

Mu Qing felt confident, and looked at Wang Xiuwei before he spoke. Wang Xiuwei smiled and said, "Okay, I'll help you pay attention when the time comes."

Mu Qing hummed and said to Liu Yueshan: "I don't like to give up on things halfway, so you can be my housekeeper, but you can't just sit back and have nothing. Is it okay for you to do business with the remaining money?"

"You want me to do business?" Liu Yueshan's eyes wavered.

Mu Qing glanced at Wang Xiuwei, and then asked Liu Yueshan doubtfully, "No way? Didn't you say that the business name you managed for your family for a period of time was fake?"

"No." Liu Yueshan quickly shook her head and said, "Sir, you have misunderstood what I mean." She changed her tune at this time.

Liu Weirui and Wang Xiuwei gave Mu Qing a preconceived impression. In fact, it is not very common for women to do business. Women who have no backbone in the family often come out to show their faces.

Liu Yueshan was hesitant because Mu Qing wanted to hand over the remaining money to buy the house to her for business, and she was at a loss for the moment.

Even if there are only four hundred taels of gold left after buying the house, it is still more than five thousand taels of silver. You must know that her dead husband was the commander of the personal guard. In the past two years, his status as a military commander was promoted, and his annual salary was less than 500 taels. With various rewards, the total family property was only this amount. How could Mu Qing directly transfer so much Did the money go directly to her?

"This is the difference between ordinary people and us." Wang Yeqing looked at Liu Yueshan with interest, and couldn't help but think of the girl he once saved, who has now become her adopted sister and the owner of Xiaohong Mansion. Liu Ruxue.

Wang Yeqing has become a Tianbang Assassin and has not completed a mission for a long time, but the money she has accumulated has long been just a number.

What Wang Xiuwei got back from Xiaohong Mansion that day was a box full of gold leaves and several large boxes of silver. Wang Xiuwei vaguely guessed that she had a commission from the profits of Xiaohonglou, but he didn't know that the real owner of Xiaohonglou was actually her. It was she who provided Liu Ruxue with a large sum of gold and silver, and also blocked several evil hands behind the scenes. Now the "Xiaokan Red Wet Place" in Jinguan City.

And the same goes for Mingyue Tower in Zhuque City.

But these are her past, and Wang Yeqing doesn't want her daughter to get involved too much. Wang Xiuwei opened a rouge shop, which is safe and stable, and has the ability to protect itself. In her eyes, it is the best.

Liu Yueshan said intermittently: "My mother's family is in the business of buying and selling medicinal materials, and we have contacts and cooperation with the Li family in Jinguan City. It's just that I haven't done these things for several years. After all, there is so much money..."

"Are you buying and selling medicinal materials?" Mu Qing's eyes lit up, his sword-shaped eyebrows stretched and he smiled: "That's just right. Zhuque City relies on Tiannan Marsh Forest, the largest natural medicinal material area, so it should be able to get started. That's it."

"Uh." Liu Yueshan's eyes were a little helpless, and she didn't know why Mu Qing couldn't understand what she meant.

Mu Qing smiled and said in a calm tone: "Just do it first. When the time comes, I will write a letter and ask Miss Miaozhen to leave the purchase of medicinal materials in Zhuque City to you. When the time comes, I will work with Jin Guan There will be more opportunities to contact the city.”

Liu Yueshan asked softly: "Is this the eldest lady of the Li family in Jinguan City, Li Miaozhen?"

Mu Qing nodded and said, "Yes, my relationship with her is pretty good. There's not much of a problem in this matter."

Before the shop even opened, the main customer was found. Liu Yueshan really couldn't think of any reason to evade it. She bowed her head to Mu Qing and said, "My maid will do her best for you."

"Just do your best." After saving a person and arranging things that were worrying about him, Mu Qing looked at Liu Yueshan with a touch of intimacy in his eyes and said, "Besides, since you become me, Housekeeper of the house, let’s consider it a family, don’t call yourself a slave or concubine, let’s call you brother and sister, you can be my brother or Mu Qing, I’ll call you Sister Yueshan.”

Liu Yueshan quickly refused: "How can this be done? Since ancient times, there has been a distinction between superiority and inferiority. Even if I become a butler, I will only be a servant."

Mu Qing shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter so much. I have the final say in my family. From now on, Sister Yueshan, please don't pay too much attention to this distinction, otherwise you will make me angry for nothing."

"Besides." Mu Qing sighed and said, "I can't let others know about our relationship. I'm often away from home. You have to make your own decisions about many things."

Liu Yueshan wondered: "Why is this?"

Mu Qing shook his head and said nothing. Wang Yeqing was impressed by his equal treatment of the woman in distress. He explained for him with a smile on his face: "Mr. Mu Qing did this to protect you. You can live well. Doing what I just said for him is the best way to repay him."
