Quickly penetrate the host, she is deadly and seductive

However, Shi Qing seemed to be as if he had not heard anything, and concentrated on eating the candied haws. After eating one, he turned to look at Meng Xuanheng, and said with some confusion: "Why don't you eat it?"

"This candied haws on a stick is quite delicious. It tastes sweeter than I expected. Unfortunately, it is too expensive. Otherwise, I would buy a few more and take them home to eat."

The original owner had lived a very hard life for so many years, and it was hard to save this little money.

Meng Xuanheng looked at the way Shi Qing cherished the bunch of candied haws, and Mu Jiu's voice echoed in his mind.

He said that this little puppet had only eaten cold rice and was beaten and humiliated by the palace people. When her mother was seriously ill, she ran out of the cold palace and went to beg the queen in the palace. She kowtowed until her head was covered with blood, but no one found her. Pitiful.

My mother died and she was caught in the rain, so she became seriously ill and almost died.

Meng Xuanheng's slightly raised hand paused. His dark and obscure eyes were fixed on Shi Qing, his eyebrows were slightly folded, and the expression in his eyes was repeatedly struggling between determination and hesitation.

His slender fingers slowly curled up, clenched into fists, and finally dropped.

As soon as Meng Xuanheng loosened his fingers holding the candied haws, the bunch of candied haws fell from his hand and fell to the ground and rolled around a few times. The glistening sugar coating was stained with dust and became dirty and dim.

The moment the candied haws fell to the ground, Meng Xuanheng strode forward with his feet raised. His back was not as straight and fearless as before, but a little more panicked.

Shi Qing looked at Meng Xuanheng's leaving figure, opened his mouth and bit off a piece of candied haws, with a calculating and proud smile in his almond-shaped eyes.

From the ending of the original owner dying of old age in the palace, it can be seen that although Meng Xuanheng harbors hatred, there is still a trace of kindness and compassion deep in his heart.

She was right.

Meng Xuanheng walked quickly for a long distance before stopping. His eyebrows were extremely low, just like his mood at the moment.

Just when he was about to take action, he remembered what his father had taught him when he was a child when he gave money to beggars on the street, telling him that he should never lose his mind because of power and should have a good heart.

Meng Xuanheng closed his eyes and suppressed the expression in his eyes. He quickly put away his outward emotions and regained his composure. At this time, he realized that Shi Qing had not followed.

Did he run away while he wasn't paying attention?

Meng Xuanheng's eyes became colder, and he turned around. After searching around, he saw Shi Qing at the door of a brothel.

Shi Qing, who was dressed as a man, was caught by the madam at the door. The old madam pulled Shi Qing inside while talking, but there was no reluctance on Shi Qing's face, but rather curious and ready to move.

Meng Xuanheng's face darkened, and he walked over quickly. When Shi Qing had already stepped into the brothel, he reached out and grabbed her arm.

The old madam on the side saw Meng Xuanheng's extraordinary momentum, his eyes lit up, and he immediately reached out to pull Meng Xuanheng, "Hey, young master, the girls here are all very beautiful, come in..."

Meng Xuanheng glanced at the old bustard with his cold eyes and shouted sternly: "Get out!"

The Madam was frightened by Meng Xuanheng's murderous eyes. She shook her body and loosened her grip on Shi Qing's hand.

Meng Xuanheng grabbed Shi Qing's arm with his big hand and walked quickly to a less crowded alley before letting go. He shook his hand suddenly and Shi Qing stumbled a few times unsteadily and almost fell down.

Shi Qing looked at Meng Xuanheng with a gloomy and unhappy expression, feeling a little puzzled.

This Meng Xuanheng is so good, why is he angry again?

She didn't do anything just now, right?First, I didn't say anything to provoke him, second, I didn't hit him, and third, I didn't run away.

Or is it that Meng Xuanheng felt that he was angry just now and she ignored him and went to see the beauty instead, thinking that her puppet was disobedient?

Meng Xuanheng's gloomy eyes glanced at Shi Qing, and his voice was slightly harsh, "Do you know where that place was just now?"

Shi Qing looked at Meng Xuanheng's displeased expression and replied with some confusion: "The brothel, there are many beauties to see inside, doesn't the general like it?"

"I just saw a different house with beautiful men inside, General..."

Listening to Shi Qing's increasingly outrageous words, Meng Xuanheng's face turned as dark as if he could drip ink, and his cold voice was tainted with a hint of anger, "Shut up!"

"Do you think those places are just for fun? Do you know how many people there were sold or kidnapped?"

"Once your woman's identity is exposed, have you ever thought about what will happen?"

Although he also thought about killing this little puppet, he didn't want to see her forced into the world and tortured to death in such a humiliating way.

During the years of dormancy, he had also seen some generals using captured women as prostitutes after winning battles. He had always been disgusted by this disgusting method.

How could he treat those innocent and defenseless women in such a humiliating way when he could kill people with no more than a nod?

When Shi Qing heard this, he was stunned for a moment and looked at Meng Xuanheng blankly.

She didn't expect that Meng Xuanheng was angry because... he was worried about her?

Seeing that Meng Xuanheng was caring about her out of good intentions, Shi Qing pretended to be obedient and responded: "Thank you, general. I will remember it and will not go there again in the future."

The tense atmosphere just now subsided, and now the atmosphere between the two became more harmonious, but that harmony seemed to be mixed with a trace of unspeakable strangeness.

Meng Xuanheng looked away and said with a cold face: "That's it for today, go back."

"Oh." Shi Qing said nothing and walked towards the entrance of the market.

The two walked in tandem and soon walked out of the market. When Mujiu, who was waiting at the entrance of the alley, saw the two coming out, he immediately came out with his carriage and arrived in front of the two.

Just when Shi Qing and Meng Xuanheng walked to the carriage and wanted to get on, they heard a voice, "Meng Xuanheng."

Shi Qing and Meng Xuanheng were both stunned. They turned around and saw a young girl in a goose-yellow dress walking quickly towards them.

Shi Qing looked at the woman and then at Meng Xuanheng. Was she an old acquaintance?

[System, who is this? 】

[The host is Lin Xi, who has known Meng Xuanheng since childhood. 】The system immediately sorted out the woman's information and sent it to Shi Qing.

The mansion of Lin Xi's family is very close to Meng Xuanheng's family. Their fathers were officials in the same court and they were friends. Therefore, the two of them have known each other since they were children and often played together when they were children.

Their parents also intended to make a marriage contract for the two, but later something happened to Meng Xuanheng's family, and the matter failed.

At that time, everyone thought that Meng Xuanheng died in the fire, and Lin Xi was still sad for a long time.

Soon, Lin Xi walked up to Meng Xuanheng, looking at Meng Xuanheng with surprise and happiness in her eyes.

"It's really you. I heard my dad say that it's great that you're back and that you're still alive."

Meng Xuanheng looked indifferent and responded in a low voice, "Thank you, Miss Lin, for your concern."

Shi Qing kept looking between the two of them. They had known each other since childhood and they were childhood sweethearts.
