Chapter 506: Meeting an Old Acquaintance

The second manager recounted the chaotic mess that happened in Crane Garden during the past two days. Yet contrary to expectations, Eldest Qin burst out into loud laughter.

“What an interesting little girl. This young master really wants to summon her over for a look!”

The pink-lipped woman leaning on Eldest Young Master Qin bit her lower lip. She suppressed the jealousy in the depths of her eyes and said coquettishly, “Eldest Young Master, what is there to see in a darn little girl?”

At this time, the music and dancing had already ended. Jade Hue Parlor’s lead courtesan, Miss Ran, strolled forward in her red dress and bowed to Eldest Young Master Qin.

Eldest Qin smiled. “As Miss Ran had come, I originally thought that Second Brother would definitely answer my invite and come take a look, but I didn’t expect him to be preoccupied by some mundane affairs.”

Zhao Qiran bowed to the eldest young master once again and said faintly, “Qiran is only a courtesan and is not worthy of Second Young Master’s generous affection.”

“Miss Ran truly is excessively modest. Who isn’t aware of how many aristocrats have been stunned by your celestial bearing in your moon dance performance.” The eldest young master said with a smile.

Zhao Qiran’s lips were turned up into a faint smile, but the depths of her eyes couldn’t hide her slight disappointment.

Eldest Qin observed this, and a profound smile crept onto his lips.

Tsk, this charming Miss Ran, the leading courtesan of Jade Hue Parlor, was purported to be so lofty and unyielding in character that none of the nobles and aristocrats could deflower her. However, it really was very intriguing how she actually developed a crush on his second brother after a chance encounter.

The recent days have been quite boring, so he should find something for his second brother to do…

Inside the study of Crane Garden.

The eldest young master thought that his second brother was idling away, but how could he have known—

That handsome and elegant Second Young Master Qin was currently glaring with a darkened face at a certain someone standing before the desk. He reprimanded, “You can even cause such pandemonium by grinding ink. Look at how the entire room is splattered in your ink!!”

Was this darling the type of person who performed these kinds of menial tasks? You’ve got to be kidding me!

“The senior manager said I’m suited for watering and sweeping in the outer courtyard. Young Master should transfer me out there.” The little lady said without much of an expression.

The senior manager who just entered almost bumped his head into the door frame. The corner of his mouth twitched repeatedly, and then he announced with a light cough, “Young Master, this old servant has brought over Miss Caiwei.”

“Perfect timing.” Second Qin massaged his swelling temples. “Caiwei, bring her back to your place and instruct her properly. Send her back over after two days.”

Don’t do those incongruous things all the time!

It should have been like this from the beginning! How sensible could this girl be, having just entered the estate? The senior manager smiled so widely that his eyes were imperceptible, and he gestured for Caiwei to bring Qiao Mu away with a wave of his hand.

Caiwei gave a curtsy, and just as she started walking towards Qiao Mu, Qiao Mu turned around and walked outside. She didn’t give a backwards glance nor extend so much as a farewell.

Second Qin was so irritated that he smashed his teacup. He kept feeling that his condition was off these past two days, almost as if he was being masochistic. He hadn’t had one uneventful day ever since he brought back this stoic face.

Nevertheless…

He didn’t know why, but when he first saw the little stoic outside the gate, there was an especially fervent voice in his heart that kept saying: Bring her back, bring her back, bring her back!

“Stand there!” After exiting the young master’s study, Caiwei shouted angrily.

Qiao Mu rubbed her arms with both hands. After leaving that person’s study, she only felt a bit of warmth after being enveloped by the warm sunlight.

That person… actually turned out to be the second young master of the Qin Estate.

Her trauma from her previous life was still vivid in her mind. She didn’t expect to encounter him so quickly in this lifetime.

She didn’t even visit Guanlan City at all in her previous life…

Back then, when Fan Qiuhe had tormented her so that she was barely clinging on to her last breath, she was carried out from the dark room by this Second Young Master Qin.
