Bai Tang squatted down and carefully wiped them with a handkerchief.
Suddenly, a carriage drove over.
Bai Tang did not care. When the carriage brushed past her, it bumped into a stone and made a loud thud. Bai Tang was so shocked that her hand trembled and the handkerchief flew out, entering the carriage with the curtain half-closed.
The carriage stopped.
Bai Tang stood up and was about to politely ask for her handkerchief when she saw a strong palm lift the half-covered curtain. A bearded face appeared in front of Bai Tang.
Bai Tang did not judge a book by its cover, but the other party had a fierce appearance and an indescribable lascivious gaze. Bai Tang did not like it and did not plan to take the handkerchief anymore. Anyway, her name was not embroidered, so it would not ruin her reputation.
Bai Tang pulled the little fellows and left.
The person in the carriage smiled and said, “Miss, please stop. Just now, a handkerchief landed in my carriage. May I know if it’s yours?”
Bai Tang stopped in her tracks and glanced at him from the corner of her eye. Seeing that he had already handed over the handkerchief, she took it.
Unexpectedly, the other party grabbed her wrist.
Bai Tang’s expression turned cold. “What are you doing! Let go!”
Helian Qi smiled playfully and said gently, “I heard that there’s a restaurant called the Drunken Immortal Pavilion in the Capital. It’s the number one restaurant in the Capital. Since you hit it off with me, I want to invite you to have a meal with me. I wonder if you’re willing to do me the honor?”
“Who said I hit it off with you? Get your dirty hands off me!” Bai Tang had never seen such a shameless person in broad daylight. He dared to tease a woman on the streets! Bai Tang tried to pull her hand out, but she realized that she could not move it at all.
She couldn’t use force. This man knows martial arts. Could she shout for help on the street? But what if this scoundrel said that they knew each other? Then she couldn’t explain it.
Bai Tang’s eyes darted around and she had an idea. She smiled and said, “Are you sure you want to invite me to a meal? I can’t go with you for nothing!”
Helian Qi took out a gold ingot.
Bai Tang snorted. “Are you sending a beggar away! I have more than this bit of gold on my head!”
Helian Qi laughed heartily and took out two gold notes worth a hundred taels. A hundred taels of gold was enough to buy the most popular top host in the Capital. Bai Tang’s beauty was still a little inferior to the top host of a brothel, but she was as young as an orchid and as tender as a peach. She had the clean aura of a young girl. Any man would be easily charmed by such a woman.
Bai Tang reached out to take the gold note, but Helian Qi raised his hand and said ambiguously, “Get in the carriage first.”
Bai Tang raised her chin and said, “It’s just a few steps. I’ll walk there myself!”
Helian Qi looked at her and then at the children she was holding. He smiled knowingly. “Don’t play any tricks.”
Bai Tang snatched his gold notes and snorted. “Are you afraid that I’ll play tricks?”
Helian Qi smiled. “Of course not. If you play tricks, the consequences will be terrible.”
An unmarried woman with three children. They didn’t look like siblings, and it was even more unreasonable for them to be mother and sons. After thinking about it, there was only the maidservant. Her clothes were extraordinary, so she must be a maidservant favored by a rich family. But so what? She was just a servant after all. It was her blessing in her previous life to be able to get close to General Wei Yuan!
If this girl served him well, he did not mind bringing her back to Nanzhao. Even though he had a very valiant wife, it was enough as long as he hid her well and did not let his wife discover her.
In just a short moment, Helian Qi had actually thought of a way out. It was obvious how much he liked Bai Tang.
The carriage kept three steps away from Bai Tang, as if it was worried that she would slip away. Bai Tang thought to herself, I won’t slip away. There’s a path to heaven, but you didn’t take it. You barged into hell. The Drunken Immortal Pavilion is half of my territory. I’ll kill you!
Helian Qi alighted from the carriage and entered the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
Bai Tang led the three little fellows and followed. When she passed by the counter, she stuffed the little fellows to the shopkeeper. “Help me take care of them!”
The shopkeeper was stunned.
Bai Tang berated, “What are you looking at? Can’t you even take care of a child for me?”
Why did Miss Bai become so fierce…
The shopkeeper nodded in a daze. “Yes, yes!”
They had to be able to take care of the children of the second-in-charge!
After Bai Tang handed the children to the shopkeeper, she went upstairs.
Helian Qi smiled. “If you’re worried, you can leave them to my coachman.”
