Chapter 569: Chapter 573: Bitten by a Dog and Enjoying It?_1
Qiao Duo’er concluded that the idea of musk causing miscarriages is purely fictional in palace dramas, relieving her of worries and justifying the lengthy explanations given by the Store Manager.
Seeing that Qiao Duo’er had no questions, the Store Manager went out to prepare the medicine.
He didn’t know what Qiao Duo’er needed the elegantly scented medicine for, but he followed her instructions regardless.
He thought that once Young Master Bai returned and was informed, he would definitely understand.
At this time, in the study.
Li Mu’er sat in a chair, her handkerchief twisted into a knot.
Every time she thought of Bai Yifan’s tender look, her heart ached.
Why did Bai Yifan like that woman?
That woman was flirtatious, having seduced Yin Yinyue’s husband, and now she was targeting Bai Yifan. What was so good about her?
The most infuriating part was that despite her philandering, her man still treated her like a treasure!
"Miss, should we go find that person?" Tao Xiang whispered into Li Mu’er’s ear.
Li Mu’er shook her head, "What if Brother Fan finds out?"
Then Bai Yifan would be even more reluctant to bother with her.
"You are the miss of the Li Family. As long as you make those people shut up, who would dare to say more? Besides, once that woman’s reputation is ruined, Young Master Bai will despise her even if he has no time to be disgusted yet!"
Tao Xiang squinted her eyes, her mental calculations clicking rapidly.
She was just taking the money to ward off disasters for others.
Just now she had urged Li Mu’er to let Qiao Duo enter for the sake of helping that person.
Just for that face, she was willing to do anything.
Li Mu’er was still hesitant, but Tao Xiang continued to persuade her: "Miss, do you really want that woman to snatch away Young Master Bai? Her family background is inferior to yours, and she is not as pretty as you. If she succeeds, others might plot against you!"
These words struck Li Mu’er’s heart.
She gritted her teeth and agreed with Tao Xiang’s plan: "You go find someone from the Yin Family."
"The Store Manager is partial to Qiao Duo, it’s best to keep this from him. Can you find a way to distract him?"
Li Mu’er patted her chest, "Leave it to me."
Once they had agreed upon their plan, Tao Xiang delivered the message through the back door to a burly man, while Li Mu’er went to the front hall, keeping everyone busy with her commands.
As the eldest miss, it was normal for her to buy various snacks.
The Store Manager felt a headache coming on; he was the only one left in the store. He was to prepare medicine for Qiao Duo and also attend to customers.
If only he could clone himself, then he could take care of both matters.
About the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the door to the guest hall was pushed open.
Qiao Duo’er and Tan Zhenghong became alert, as the visitor walked with extremely light footsteps and shallow breathing, surely a martial artist.
Clearly, this was not someone from Deji Hall.
The man who arrived was more delicate than a woman, exuding a femininity that did not undermine his masculinity – a veritable male enchantress.
"You must be Xuan Qing?" Qiao Duo’er was almost certain.
Leaving aside his appearance, without having gone through various hardships, he wouldn’t possess such an aura.
Like a leopard lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to pounce and kill its prey.
Xuan Qing’s lips curled up, "You have good judgment."
"Thanks for the compliment. I wonder if the dog of my house was to your satisfaction last night," Qiao Duo’er mocked intentionally.
If Fat Fat hadn’t annoyed him last night, he wouldn’t have slashed at Fat Fat’s neck, nor torn off that piece of cloth.
Xuan Qing’s irritating smile immediately froze on his face; he, Master Xuan San, who had wandered the martial world for many years, was chased by a dog into such an embarrassing state for the first time last night.
