"Oh?"

When Mother Cui heard Rong Sheng mention Miaoying, she was a little surprised.

"Master, do you want to see Miaoying?"

"Why, is she entertaining other guests?"

"Well, that's not the case." Mother Cui looked a little strange.

"If not, let her come to see me." Rong Sheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, while taking in Mother Cui's expression through the rim of the cup.

"Sir, are you sure you want to see her?"

"I am sure."

After saying that, she slapped the heavy purse in her hand on the table and said, "So far, there has never been anyone I have not been able to meet."

"Yes, yes, you are a noble man, I dare not neglect you." Mother Cui looked embarrassed, "It's just that you may seldom come here, so you don't know much about Miaoying."

"Oh, what's her problem?"

"To be honest, young master, this Miss Miaoying was once the best in Xianghua Tower because she had a great voice and could sing songs that no one could match."

"Alas, it's a pity that the good times didn't last long," Mother Cui sighed, and suddenly changed the subject, "Not long after she arrived here, she became mute. Now she can only play the piano and music for the guests, and can no longer show off her singing voice."

"So he's mute..." Rong Sheng was stunned for a moment, then said, "What's the harm? I just like listening to the piano."

Mother Cui was also stunned when she heard this. She thought to herself, I don’t know which family this young man is from, but his interests are really unique.

When the other guests heard that she was a mute, who would spend money to order her?

Therefore, Miaoying hasn't received any customers for a long time, and can only earn a little money by joining the music team every day.

But I didn't expect that the sun rose from the west today, and there were people who didn't mind.

Mother Cui retracted her thoughts and put on a flattering smile again: "Since you don't mind, please come with me!"

Rong Sheng put away his fan, immediately stood up and followed Mother Cui upstairs.

After wandering around for a while, the two finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous door upstairs.

"Sir, this is where Miss Miaoying lives."

Rong Sheng listened attentively to the melodious piano music coming from the room and couldn't help but sigh that although Miaoying could no longer sing, the music she played was still extremely moving, and her piano skills were comparable to those of the musicians in the palace.

After admiring the view outside the door for a while, Rong Sheng gently pushed the door open and walked in.

The furnishings in this room are rather simple, forming a sharp contrast with the luxurious decoration of the hall.

The whole room only had a set of table and bed, and even the tea cups placed there were plain in color, looking a bit cheap.

At this time, the girl Miaoying was gently holding a plain carved pipa, her slender jade fingers twisting and dancing between the strings.

Looking up, the woman's small and delicate nose sways left and right as her arms play, making her look even more charming.

Her pretty face was lightly made up, and the only white jade hairpin on her bun was just the right embellishment.

Such a fresh woman...

Rong Sheng just looked at the beautiful girls all over the hall. Although they were charming, they also exuded a strong air of worldliness.

Comparing the two, this Miss Miaoying doesn't look like someone from a brothel.

Soon, Rong Sheng, holding a folding fan in his hand, quietly sat down opposite the girl, listening to the beautiful music and continuing to appreciate it with his eyes closed.

I don't know how much time passed before the song finally ended.

Rong Sheng slowly raised his eyes and watched Miao Ying slowly place the pipa on the table beside her.

"The girl's piano skills are superb. I really admire her."

Rong Sheng closed the fan with a "snap", stood up and slowly walked towards Miaoying.

Miaoying smiled when she heard this and knelt down to greet Rongsheng.

"Although the girl can no longer sing, she still has great talent. It's a waste of talent to stay in this place."

After hearing Rong Sheng's unconventional words, Miao Ying was a little surprised. Her eyes were like stars, and she looked at Rong Sheng with a hint of gratitude.

Rong Sheng met his gaze and unexpectedly caught a flash of coldness in his eyes.

She frowned imperceptibly, then said kindly, "Is it possible that no one has ever praised the young lady like this except me?"

Miaoying looked a little gloomy after hearing this and lowered her head silently.

"Or maybe there is, but you just forgot about it," Rong Sheng glanced at Miao Ying who nodded, and said calmly, "For example, Lord Lu Anfei?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Miaoying's long and narrow eyelashes trembled quickly, but her face still maintained an indifferent expression.

She shook her head at Rong Sheng, confusion written all over her face.

"Miss, don't you know Lord Lu?"

Rong Sheng then lamented, "I thought you were Lord Lu's confidant, and I thought you could meet him before he was executed, but you don't know him."

Shaking his head helplessly, Rong Sheng turned around and was about to leave: "Forget it, maybe I recognized the wrong person, I will go look for him somewhere else."

The next moment, Rong Sheng's arm was suddenly grabbed.

She turned around and saw Miaoying frowning with panic in her eyes. She motioned Rong Sheng to sit down.

"Why, girl, do you remember?"

After Rong Sheng sat down, he asked, "Lord Lu is about to be executed. He said he has something important that can save him. Miss, do you know what it is?"

Under her expectant gaze, Miaoying seemed to have made a great decision. She nodded heavily, and then pulled Rong Sheng to the cabinet by the window.

Then, Miaoying raised her arm slightly and pushed the cabinet into the wall.

Immediately afterwards, a secret compartment appeared in front of the two.

Rong Sheng felt a little excited when he saw this.

I was right in my guess, the account was indeed hidden by Lu Anfei in Xianghualou!

When Miaoying saw Rong Sheng's eyes light up, she gestured for her to open the secret cabinet.

Rong Sheng nodded, quickly walked forward to take a look at the cabinet, and easily found the switch.

She waited expectantly for the cabinet door to open, but she never expected that Miaoying had quietly come behind her.

But at this moment, Rong Sheng's mind and eyes were full of the account book, and he did not notice Miao Ying's murderous eyes.

After a while, the cabinet door finally opened slowly. Rong Sheng took a closer look and was surprised and happy.

This is actually a thick document.

It should be Lu Anfei’s account book!

Her eyes were shining and she focused all her attention on the pile of documents.

But just when she couldn't wait to open the book, a fine white smoke suddenly gushed out of the cabinet and rushed straight towards Rong Sheng.

Rong Sheng was suddenly startled and quickly turned his head away.

But it was too late. Just as she turned her head, Miaoying behind her had already picked up the teacup, waiting for this moment to hit Rong Sheng hard on the back of his head.

As the teacup shattered to the ground, Rong Sheng fainted on the ground with a plop, and the hallucinogenic drug had already been inhaled into her nose.

"Humph, you still want to deceive me, don't you even look at your own weight?"

Miaoying saw that Rong Sheng had fallen down, and immediately took out a dagger from her sleeve.

She seemed like a different person at this moment, her eyes were full of ferocity, and her hands were tightly holding a sharp dagger.

She gathered all her strength and raised the sharp weapon in her hand high above her head.

"go to hell!"

She roared in a low voice and stabbed Rong Sheng hard in the chest.

At this critical moment, a stone suddenly broke through the window.

The stone hit Miaoying's arm exactly.

"what--"

Miaoying felt pain instantly and the dagger in her hand accidentally slipped out.

As the dagger fell to the ground with a clang, the person outside the window jumped in.

Song Xuanlin raised his right leg and stepped on Miaoying. He looked back at the unconscious Rong Sheng, and his face suddenly became terribly gloomy.

"You are so bold that you even dare to touch my people!"
