Volume 1 Chapter 175: Seeing Yin Yue Again

  Chapter 175: Reunion with Yinyue

  Mei Zi didn't let Zan send her to the door, she had drunk too much wine, her head was not clear, and she was in a state of extreme shock, and couldn't find Da Gongzi and Er Gongzi to ask for clarification, so she felt depressed and needed to walk a distance to calm down.

  Alright, and Yuan Cheng this mutually beneficial friend, she didn't have the energy to ask him to save her life, so she simply asked someone else to take care of it. And as for Jin Yin, she doesn't mind either, and it's also possible that there's a loan bank involved. However——

  However, this sworn brotherhood has become a bit too much. In the past, people didn't often form sworn brotherhoods; when they did, it was a serious commitment. Look at the Three Kingdoms - Liu Bei's situation is a good example. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were deeply devoted to him, but this fraternal bond ultimately became a burden. The current situation she faces isn't that her opponents are too weak, but rather that they're too strong. They're so powerful that not only can't she control them, but she's also being dragged along by them, blindly rushing forward without any sense of direction. It's possible that it won't be until the moment before her death that she realizes her tragic fate was all caused by them.

  Thinking back, was there a problem with the wine last night? And those two people, why did whoever drink with them follow their lead and gang up on others? She can't remember anything. All she remembers is laughing loudly during the banquet, writing brush calligraphy quickly, feeling quite carefree at that moment.

  Although she was a soldier in her previous life, nowadays she often disguises herself as a man. Perhaps that's why she lacks some feminine charm? But if you really treat her like a man and become sworn brothers with her, isn't that not right? Isn't it?

  Oh no——my head is splitting

  She walked through a dark corridor from the neighboring courtyard, came out of a side room door, rubbed her temples, and sighed in that place. Suddenly, she bumped into something, adding insult to injury for her already exploding head, and immediately covered her head and crouched down, groaning.

  "A purple ink" - a concerned cry came from Bai He.

  "Mozi then rubbed her forehead with one hand and waved the other, 'I'm fine. But, Baihe, when did you become so sturdy? Hard as a rock, it hurt me to death when I bumped into you. Has grandma gotten up yet?' She was guilty for staying out all night."

  "What do you think?" Xiao San's voice.

  "Brother-in-law arrived quite early today." Mozi said, then paused. Eh---this isn't Mojizhu, why can I hear Xiao San's voice?

  She raised her head and blinked her eyes involuntarily.

  In the garden in front of Qiu San Niang's bedroom, the four maidservants surrounded Qiu San Niang sitting in the pavilion. Two men stood among the flowers, one was Xiao San and the other was Xiao Er. She was lucky to have run into him, it was General Xiao Er Lang who was young and proud.

  Should she say good morning to everyone?

  She's wearing men's clothes. She took out her humble and obedient attitude, and began to think of an excuse in her heart. She didn't come from outside, so she could just say that she was playing with Bai He and the others.

  "Mozhi, where did you get this men's outfit from?" It was not Xiao San, but Xiao Er, with a hint of uncontrollable anger.

  "Second Aunt's words are meaningful." Zong! Jiang San Niang plucked a string, "So many pairs of eyes watching her come out of the house, where can she go?"

  "Reporting to Second Master, this morning I got up and played with my sisters, I lost and had to wear men's clothing and walk around the block." Mozi lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, not daring to glance at Xiao Er. She was still very confident that she could get away with it, after all, wearing men's clothing didn't necessarily mean that he would be able to tell that Mo Ge and Mozi were one person.

  "Are you kidding me?" Xiao Er's voice was very calm.

  "It's not a joke, is Mu Zi really not a man?" Qiao San Niang coldly snorted.

  Xiao San did not make a sound. He stared intently at Qiu San Niang, as if searching for the fierce red rash that the doctors had spoken of, but her skin was still as fair as snow, and her beautiful face, like a flower, seemed even more delicate than before.

  He and Second Brother had just entered the mansion when they were blocked. A steward named Tian Da accompanied by a smiling face said that San Niang was recuperating from an illness and could not be disturbed, and also made eye contact to report inside. Unexpectedly, Second Brother immediately shouted for Xiao Chen to detain all the servants in the front yard, and pulled him along as he walked inside. Hearing the sound of the qin being played like a babbling brook, he had a bad feeling. Seeing San Niang and her maids laughing with abandon, he understood at that moment.

  He had just asked what was going on, and Qiu San Niang hadn't even replied when a man in a long shirt rushed out of another room. Fortunately, Bai He called out to Mo Zi in time, otherwise he might have become as furious as Er Ge.

  Xiao San thought to himself, feeling very strange. San Niang pretended to be ill, but why did Er Ge's face turn icy cold, and his tone of voice made him tremble with fear. Er Ge had been training in martial arts with their father since he was a child, and at the age of 16, he followed the army to battle. At 17, he already had soldiers under his command, so he rarely smiled or joked, but he had never seen such a terrifying expression before. Looking again at Er Ge beside him, Xiao San discovered that Er Ge's angry glare was directed at Mo Zi, who was disguised as a man.

  The maids were just playing around, wearing men's clothes, nothing special. Xiao San believed San Niang and Mo Zi's words, because based on his personal experience, he could think of Qiu San Niang pretending to be ill, but couldn't imagine her and the maids disguising themselves as men and going out.

  "Brother and sister." Xiao Wei was also not very polite to Qiu San Niang. Mo Zi was Mo Ge, Qiu San Niang was the master of Wang Qiulou, and also the mastermind behind the smuggling ship. Such a daring and unscrupulous woman had actually become his own brother's wife, he really had nothing to say.

  "Second Brother, are you suggesting that I should invite someone to verify my identity?" Qiu San Niang had always been mentally prepared, and she knew that Mo Zi would see through her disguise. However, she didn't expect it to happen so soon. But she was not one to back down easily, "You don't believe what I say? Do you think I and these maids would live with a man together? Don't forget, we're all on the same boat. Second Brother, you have eyes, shouldn't you be able to see clearly?"

  "I naturally knew she was a woman." But he didn't know that the oily and cunning Mo Ge was actually her, not only did she come all the way from Luo State, but also lived in the same mansion as him, and they had met several times. Especially that time in the study, the two of them were alone together, yet he hadn't suspected a thing. This woman had hidden herself so deeply in front of him, it made him feel furious at being deceived.

  "Since that's the case, then don't hold onto her cross-dressing anymore." Qiu San Niang shifted her gaze to Xiao San, "I think you, Third Brother, still have something to ask me. Second Uncle, if there's nothing else, please take your leave. See how easy it was for you to barge in; I won't even bother having someone escort you out."

  Xiao San frowned, when he was with Qiu San Niang, it was usually elegant things like playing the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, or that lazy and perfunctory attitude towards Jin Si's affairs. Although his grandmother and mother had told him that San Niang was capable, this was the first time he saw her sharp side.

  "That won't do, I need to borrow your waist ring for a moment." Who is Xiao Wei? In the military camp, with a loud shout, tens of thousands of soldiers would risk their lives to obey. Qiu San Niang was his younger sister and also a woman, but he didn't plan on tolerating her.

  Qiao San Niang chuckled and curled her lip, "What if I didn't lend it to him? How would that be?" She hadn't noticed before that Xiao Er was more annoying than Xiao San, with his pretentious air of being a big man who always kept his word.

  "Brother and sister are still very obedient, so things can be easily settled." Qiu San Niang's smuggling case had been known to him, he didn't understand how she could be so arrogant? Mo Ge was also an extremely arrogant person, indeed it is true that there is a master for every servant.

  "Qiu San Niang... wasn't someone who roamed the south and north, she wouldn't be threatened by Xiao Er."

  "Grandma, I think Second Master has misunderstood. Why don't I send him out and explain things clearly?" Mozi thought that today, Xiao San had already received one shock, and another might be unbearable for him. In her opinion, when Xiao San saw Qiu San Niang pretending to be ill, he didn't show a bad attitude like Xiao Er did, so it was worth trying to persuade him.

  Qiu Sanniang glanced at Mozi, who nodded slightly and said, "Then be careful on your way, Second Master seems to be in a terrible mood today, don't get caught up in the fish's misfortune."

  Xiao Er's face turned cold and gloomy, he turned around and walked away.

  Mei Zi followed up, and could no longer care about the young couple behind her.

  Qiao San Niang bought this garden, which is also a good view, with small bridges and flowing water. Walking in it is very leisurely. However, following behind a fire-breathing dragon, Mo Zi can't be leisurely at all, and is instead very tired.

  "It seems that Second Master indeed knows the way. Let Mozi send you here, and you can walk by yourself." What is Second Master so angry about? It's all in the past. They had agreed to pretend not to know each other when they met again. Is it because he has a strong sense of justice and cannot let go of her as a private goods smuggler, determined to send her to prison? That would be embarrassing, considering she has Lady Qiu San Niang as her backer. If he's capable, he should risk the reputation of the Jing Wang Fu and arrest Lady Xiao San as well.

  Mozi had just stopped in his tracks when he saw Xiao Er turn around and fly towards him, once again wielding the same Yueliang sword, stabbing straight at him.

  The cool wind blew against her ear. The scabbard in the sunlight emitted a cold glow, weighing heavily on her shoulder. Was it just trying to intimidate her?

  Mei Zi looked straight into Xiao Er Lang's eyes, her body motionless, "Second Master, what does this mean?"

  "Stop pretending, Mo Ge." Xiao Er sheathed his sword, still expressionless. "If you were an ordinary girl, you'd have been scared to death by now. You're playing around with people, but your words are thick with the smell of wine?"

  Mo Zi laughed and said with a radiant smile, "Second Master is indeed mysterious. May I ask Second Master, have you ever asked me if I am Mo Ge?" Wine fragrance? She pretended not to hear.

  He didn't. He hadn't even thought of it.

  "Second Master says I'm pretending, must I jump in front of you and say, General Xiao, I'm Mo Zi, I'm Mo Ge, how can't you recognize me? It's laughable. If Second Master had asked me on the boat if I was a girl, I would have admitted it. Dressing as a man is convenient when traveling by boat, all the brothers on the boat knew I was a woman, but I didn't need to tell every unfamiliar person that I'm a girl. Many people recognized me as a woman, I never denied it. Second Master couldn't see it himself, now he feels deceived and angry with us, isn't that petty?"

  Xiao Er had been taught a lesson only twice in his life, and surprisingly, both times were by the same person. He was furious, but the other party didn't show any fear at all.

  "When Second Master got off the boat, we made it clear that we wouldn't engage in private trading again, and I also asked you not to bother Wang Qiulou and my East House. If Second Master is a man of his word, he should keep his promise and keep secrets from everyone. Otherwise, don't blame me for spreading it everywhere that General Xiao snuck into South De privately...". Seeing Xiao Er's eyes flare up with anger, she stopped herself in time, "Second Master, you can finally recognize Mozi, Mozi also recognizes you straightforwardly, I am Mo Ge, Mo Ge is me. You and Qiu Niang are now a family, a family doesn't speak of two households. Moreover, since we all have some unglorious past events, why not just laugh it off?"

  To be honest, she didn't cheat him, he was just too stupid.

  Today is the second update, also the double update of powder 240, in December.

  Still working hard, thank you for everyone's encouragement all along.
