Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Lu Siheng followed the little girl to the room where Qing Yan was.

Qing Yan had already prepared tea for him. She sat at the table and raised her eyes with a smile, "Master, please have a seat."

Lu Siheng sat across from her knowingly, picked up the tea cup in front of him, put it under his nose and smelled it, "It's been a long time since I drank tea brewed by you, Qing Yan."

"Young master, if you don't come to my place, you won't be able to drink." Qing Yan's eyes turned and she said in an angry tone.

Lu Siheng took a sip of tea slowly and said, "Others may not understand, but don't you understand? I'm busy with many things now, and I really can't do anything at all."

"Young Master's words don't seem to be convincing at this moment. How could a person with no skills come here so quickly as soon as he heard that Miss Dong was in Baihua Building?"

Qing Yan's voice was soft and soft. If it were any other man who heard it, his heart would have turned into a puddle of water.

Even Lu Siheng rarely showed a trace of embarrassment in front of her, "Haha, it's just a coincidence. Things just happen to be not busy at the moment..."

He then changed the topic, "Thank you for informing me about her coming to Baihua Building."

"Miss Dong is here for Cailian's redemption, right? I heard a little bit about this two days ago. When I saw them appearing here, I guessed that they were here for Cailian. They are still young, I don’t know some things about the brothel, and I’m afraid I’ll suffer a loss if I confront the madam. That’s why I asked someone to tell the young master.”

Qing Yan didn't go out just now, and didn't know what was going on outside. She just sent the little girl next to her to wait, and then asked: "Has Cailian's matter been resolved?"

Lu Siheng nodded, "As you expected, the madam deliberately made things difficult for them. In the end, it was me who stepped forward and she was willing to pay a ransom of five hundred taels to let Cailian leave."

"I'm just asking a redundant question. Now that the young master is here, is there anything else that can't be solved?"

Lu Siheng finished a cup of tea, put down the cup and stood up and said, "Qing Yan, I have to go. Jiafu is still down there. I don't know if she will wait for me and come to see you another day."

Qing Yan stood up and before she could speak, Lu Siheng quickly turned around and left.

Looking at his hurried back, the light smoke filled with mixed flavors. In the past, the young master often came here because he wanted to conceal his identity, but now the frequency of his visits is getting less and less. If it weren't for Miss Dong, I wouldn't be able to see him today.

Qing Yan turned around and looked around, looking at the deserted residence. She originally thought that if she stayed here, she could still see him as often as before. She didn't dare to ask for anything else. As long as she could sit and talk with him like a friend, she would be satisfied.

But now it seems that he doesn't need her and this place anymore, especially since Miss Dong came back, he rarely comes here.

Now that this place has lost its value to him, what's the point of her staying?

Outside Baihua Building, Bai Ying collected the money under the persuasion of Dong Jiafu and Meng Dong.

Cailian saw all this in her eyes, "I also know some embroidery skills. I can make embroidery and sell it in the future. It shouldn't be a problem to support myself. You don't have to worry about me. When you settle down, let my little sister take care of you." You come as guests, and I’ll cook you my specialties.”

As soon as he heard that there was food, Meng Dong nodded repeatedly, "We will definitely go there then!"

"Then let's leave first." Bai Ying said to Dong Jiafu.

Dong Jiafu smiled and responded: "Let's go quickly, take Sister Cailian to find a place to stay first."

"Afu, then I will go with them.

"Meng Dong said reluctantly.

"Go."

After watching them leave, Dong Jiafu turned around and walked in the direction where the carriage stopped.

When Lu Siheng came out, he was not surprised to see her walking away, so he quickly chased after her.

"You really didn't wait for me -"

The voice came from behind, and when Dong Jiafu turned around, Lu Siheng had already rushed to her side.

"Master Lu is meeting a beautiful woman inside, why should I wait for you outside in the cold wind." Dong Jiafu turned around and continued walking forward.

Lu Siheng brought his handsome face closer and said, "Are you jealous?"

Dong Jiafu rolled her eyes at him, "That will disappoint Mr. Lu."

Lu Siheng smiled low, straightened up and explained, "The news about you in Baihualou was sent to me by Qingyan. Otherwise, how could I have arrived by chance? I rarely go to Baihualou anymore."

"In that case, we should thank Miss Qingyan."

"It's okay, I've already thanked you on your behalf." Lu Siheng said matter-of-factly.

Dong Jiafu was speechless, "Why do you want to thank me for me?"

"Speaking of which, I am the one who helped you. Why are you going around me to thank others? The real owner is right in front of you."

Dong Jiafu stopped and said, "Isn't that what you said? Don't you want to hear my words of thanks?"

Lu Siheng crossed his arms over his chest and calmly said, "I just don't want to hear what you say, but you can show it with actions."

"How to express it with actions?" Dong Jiafu felt that he was having some crooked idea.

Sure enough, Lu Siheng touched his chin and thought for a while, "The Chinese New Year will be coming soon. Please accompany me to buy some new year's goods to decorate the yard."

Dong Jiafu was stunned when he heard this, "Does this kind of trivial matter require Mr. Lu to do it himself?"

"It's not necessary at first, but with you,

I think this is also a very interesting thing. "He was quite honest.

"But I haven't agreed yet..."

"Come with me quickly, I promise you won't regret letting you go."

Before Dong Jiafu could finish speaking, she was dragged away by Lu Siheng.

The two walked two streets, and Lu Siheng pointed ahead, "Here we are, right there."

After passing through an alley, Dong Jiafu saw people coming and going on the street, which was very lively. Both sides of the road are lined with stalls selling various things, most of which are related to the Chinese New Year. They are bright red and very festive.

You can hear the shouts, the voices of bargaining between customers and stall owners, and you can also smell the unique scent of incense candles during this period.

"Have you never been to a place like this?" Lu Siheng asked.

"Well," Dong Jiafu turned around and asked, "Have you been here?"

"I passed by but didn't take a closer look. Let's take a closer look today."

"Come here, Master Lu, let's see what we need."

The two walked into the crowd and were infected by the atmosphere.

"Tanghulu—sweet and sour candied haws—"

A man selling candied haws on a stick came across from the two of them. There were strings of red, crystal-clear and round candied haws on a straw handle that made people salivate at the sight of them.

"Give me a bunch." Lu Siheng took out a few copper coins.

"Okay," the vendor said with a smile on his face, reaching out to take the copper coins and lowering the straw handle, "Young master, you can take whatever string you like."

Lu Siheng carefully selected the candied haws, and picked out the largest ones among the many candied haws.

The vendor continued to walk and shout.

"Here you go." Lu Siheng handed over the candied haws.

"I'm not a child anymore, how can I eat this on the street?" Dong Jiafu said, staring at the candied haws.

.

"Who said that only children can eat it? You can eat it if you want, no matter what others do." Lu Siheng directly took Dong Jiafu's hand and gave her the candied haws.

Dong Jiafu was stunned for a moment, then put the candied haws to her mouth and took a bite of the top one. The familiar taste instantly filled her mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Lu Siheng asked with a smile.

"Delicious -" Not only was the candied haws delicious, but Dong Jiafu had never eaten candied haws on a busy street.

The wish I once had came true here.
