Chapter 306 Weird eyes
Life suddenly calmed down because Anle could not go to Kyoto restaurants, and Anqiao also lived a routine life.
Apart from the fact that An Yonghou and Qi Ningliang have appeared frequently recently and stared at An Qiao whenever they appeared, nothing much has happened.
The day before yesterday, Gu Qingyun came.
An Qiao also asked him cautiously, "Shaoqing, has your master not been the mistress of the house for many years?"
Gu Qingyun was naturally puzzled. Although he also thought that his master was a good person, but...a young girl, maybe she fell in love with that old man.
"There has been no mistress in many years. My master had a wife whom he loved very much. However, because she lost her little daughter and fell ill during the escape, she was weak to begin with. She passed away within a year after returning to Kyoto Prefecture."
An Qiao frowned, looking puzzled. It was not that she did not believe that love is stronger than gold, but having experienced the current "scumbag" era, she knew that many people said one thing and thought another, so she had to make some guesses.
"Ah? Then... after all, you are a marquis, with such a big mansion, but you never thought of marrying a second wife?"
An Qiao was really scared. If she thought about the possibility that the Marquis would really take a fancy to her, she really didn't know how she would live.
It’s not that he thinks the Marquis is a particularly annoying person. On the contrary, he thinks this old man is cheerful every day and is quite pleasant.
But, you don't have to be his wife.
"I've already told you that Master had a wife whose love was stronger than gold, but she passed away, so he can't possibly marry again."
An Qiao nodded, not quite believing it. What happened to Marquis Yong'an recently? Why did he always look at her with a look that An Qiao couldn't understand?
I was thinking about this last night and almost couldn't sleep.
An Qiao is a little heartless, but she has not forgotten that this utopia she created is still an ancient utopia.
It would be great if she could be a shopkeeper in a utopia for her whole life, but she was also glad that no one she met destroyed her utopia.
However, since she opened the restaurant, she has received more than one or two offers of love, and she politely declined them all, feeling fortunate that the other party did not make things difficult for her.
But that’s the Marquis!
If he had any thoughts about her, An Qiao didn't dare to think about it. Compared to fighting in a large mansion, she felt that the restaurant was very suitable for her.
It’s not that An Qiao is narcissistic, it’s just that An Yonghou’s eyes have been a little too passionate recently.
Maybe it’s because of my little daughter whom I haven’t seen for many years. The more I look at her, the more she seems to be full of spiritual energy.
Gu Qingyun just felt that An Qiao was acting strange today. He kept asking about his master. Could it be that something happened during the days when he was not here?
"Why do you always ask about my master?"
In the end, Gu Qingyun asked, otherwise he would have to think about the reason before he went to sleep tonight.
"Nothing, I'm just curious. Marquis An Yong has been coming here quite frequently recently, and even Master Qi can be seen often, so I just chatted with him casually." An Qiao poured the tea and placed it on Gu Qingyun's table.
In fact, An Qiao hadn't said anything else. Let these two people come. They always stare at her with strange eyes, making her feel at a loss.
However, An Qiao did not say it directly. After all, it was just her imagination, so she did not need to ask it directly.
Gu Qingyun still felt a little confused. He had been busy with Madam Rong's case recently and had not been to the Kyoto restaurant for a few days.
The Dali Temple wanted to turn over almost every patron of Madam Rong's who spent money on her and listened to her singing and playing the piano, and checked every household.
I get nothing but cursing every day.
In the morning, Gu Qingyun and Xinhai went to a patron's house and were so frightened by his fierce wife that they dared not move.
When the lady heard that he was here to ask about Madam Rong, she immediately pinched the man's ear and then started to roar like a lioness, "You cheap bastard, you told me that you lost money on business, but it turns out that you used it to support a young lady. The other day, some people from the Kyoto government came to ask about Madam Rong! Today, the Dali Temple came again, and there is actually a Madam Rong. How much do you like the madam named Rong? Why? Do I have to change my name too? Otherwise, you will go out and do business and lose money every day. When you married me, you didn't say that you liked to be called Rong, what's wrong? You still can't forget your childhood sweetheart, right?"
The fierce woman pulled his ear and came closer while scolding him, and immediately she returned to her gentle and graceful appearance as a lady from a noble family.
"Please come in, Cui'er, let me show you the tea."
As she said this, she welcomed the person in with a smile. Her husband covered his ears and dared not look at her.
This is a family where the wife marries into the family, so it is normal for the wife to be a bit aggressive.
But Xinhai was a little shocked. How could a person change his expression so quickly?
"You spent a lot of money on Madam Rong before, right? Listening to music, singing, dancing..."
After all, he came to ask for clues, so Gu Qingyun could only try his best to ignore the fierce woman next to him who was already glaring with anger.
"...Yes...But, sir, I just felt sorry for that young lady and wanted to help her."
The man was timid and spoke in a low voice.
Gu Qingyun asked again, "How can the number one courtesan in Kyoto Prefecture be pitiful?"
The man became excited, "It's really pitiful, she and her sister are both very pitiful. Her sister is Madam Xiaorong. I saw them being sold to the brothel with my own eyes. I don't know how they were abducted. Everyone was crying, but she and her sister were very calm. Originally, the madam wanted a pair of twin sisters, so that the business would be better. But the trafficker was very smart. Seeing that the madam wanted to do this, he raised the price. In addition, the two young ladies were both pretty. They were the only two prettier ones in the batch, and they were not too old. Many madams present wanted them. Although the two sisters are not twins, they look three points alike when put together, and they have their own merits when separated. But they were sold after all, and they are so pitiful to see."
Seeing that the man’s wife was angry again, she almost twisted the handkerchief to pieces.
Gu Qingyun coughed and said, "Let's get to the point."
The man said, "Oh, I'm sorry. I felt sorry for them because I saw them being beaten all the time. The sisters were sold to a pair of brothers with different surnames. They were sworn brothers, so their relationship was very close. The two sisters were put together to study and were made to watch each other being tortured. They had different tasks..."
The man paused, "As for what mission... I can't tell you, I still want to save my life. Anyway, it's quite pitiful. I finally got on stage, so I want to spend some money."
