"No." Mu Jingrui's face was gloomy, and he turned his head away from looking at Guan Wanning.
However, he could feel Shangguan Wan Ning's gaze always staying on him.
This made him feel uncomfortable all over.
There was a hearty laugh, and the landlady opened the door and walked in waving a bright red silk scarf.
As soon as they entered the door, they poured a glass of wine each for Shangguan Wan Ning and Mu Jingrui.
"I have kept you two gentlemen waiting for a long time, and I will punish myself with three cups of wine."
"No need," Shangguan Wan Ning sat on the stool calmly, shaking the folding fan lightly, quite elegant. "You'd better let Miss Ruyi come to see us as soon as possible. This friend of mine can't wait to see Ruyi.
The beauty of a girl."
Mu Jingrui turned around and glared at Shangguan Wan Ning as a warning.
Shangguan Wan Ning turned her head and ignored it.
There was a hint of embarrassment and anxiety in the eyes of the landlady, and in order to hide her emotions, she lowered her head slightly.
"Don't worry, sir. You spent a lot of money to take photos of Ruyi. In order to show your attention, of course she should dress up well."
Shangguan Wan Ning's fingers tapped on the table rhythmically, smiling meaningfully.
"While Miss Ruyi hasn't come yet, let me talk to you about something first." Shangguan Wanning's expression calmed down, "I want to redeem Miss Ruyi, please give me a price."
The landlady couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.
"But you two young masters haven't met Ruyi yet. Are you going to redeem your life for her so soon?"
"Don't worry about this, I need someone, you collect the money."
The landlady looked at Shangguan Wan Ning carefully. Based on her many years of experience in meeting people, she had long known that the jade-faced young man in front of her was a woman disguised as a man.
What she really taboos is Mu Jingrui, who is expressionless but highly skilled in martial arts.
"Sir, Miss Ruyi's net worth... is not low. At least it must be this amount." The landlady held out three fingers, her brows filled with greed.
Shangguan Wan Ning snapped her fingers cheerfully.
"No problem, you can bring Miss Ruyi over first and let my friend take a look. If you are satisfied, I will give you money immediately."
The lady boss rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Master, if you want to redeem yourself for Ruyi, then the rules will be different. Although the girls here have all fallen into prostitution, they still have the last bit of dignity.
.How about you come back in three days. Then..."
"Lady boss, it's bad, Ruyi ran away..."
The door was pushed open violently, and a waiter rushed in, sweating profusely, and panting to report.
The face of the landlady changed suddenly, she rushed over and raised her hand and slapped the waiter in the face, scolding: "You useless trash, you can't stand a woman. Go and chase her. If she runs away, I'll take all the women in your family."
It’s not even enough to pay off the debt.”
Mu Jingrui saw an anxious and concerned look on Shangguan Wan Ning's face. Could it be that she knew that Ruyi girl?
"I spent five thousand taels to bid for Miss Ruyi. Even if I can't redeem her, at least she is mine tonight. Since she ran away, please return me five thousand taels."
Upon hearing this, the landlady snorted coldly, wondering how she could show off the money she had obtained. "Don't worry, I will definitely catch him. Just sit down for a while."
After the landlady finished speaking, before Shangguan Wan Ning could react, she rushed out with the waiter.
"What on earth are you playing?" Mu Jingrui was about to lose his patience.
He always felt that as the lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shangguan Wan Ning should not come to such a place.
"Quick, let's go rescue Ruyi."
Shangguan Wan Ning pulled Mu Jingrui and rushed out.
Mu Jingrui stood motionless, looking at her calmly but firmly.
"She is Jing Yan, your sister. If you don't go, it will be too late."
Mu Jingrui was startled, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. He immediately held Shangguan Wan Ning's hand and chased him out.
"You damn girl, you still dare to run away."
In the yard, the landlady looked at Mu Jingyan lying dying on the ground and cursed. A group of thugs formed a circle and surrounded Mu Jingyan in the center.
"Do you think you can run away? Let me tell you, once you enter the door of Yingchun Tower, you can't even think about getting out innocently. Even if your whole face is rotten, you still have to pick up the business from those beggars."
Mu Jingrui was filled with anger and heartache when he saw the scene in front of him.
The little sister that the whole family held in their hands to care for and love was trampled like this here.
He was about to rush forward when his wrist suddenly tightened. He looked back and lowered his head and saw Shangguan Wan Ning shaking her head slightly at him.
"Trust me and let me handle it."
Shangguan Wan Ning's clear eyes made Mu Jingrui calm down immediately. He felt an inexplicable tranquility and gradually loosened his clenched fists.
"Don't tell me, this is the Ruyi girl I paid a high price to photograph."
Shangguan Wan Ning successfully squeezed into the encirclement under the protection of Mu Jingrui.
Mu Jingyan on the ground did not look pretty at all. Her entire face was swollen, and the red spots looked shocking.
The landlady immediately changed her smile.
"Sir, this is a misunderstanding. Ruyi just suddenly became seriously ill. When she gets better, she can..."
"Hey, I don't want to wait. Besides, what if she can't get better? I'm losing both my life and my money. You'd better return the money to me."
The boss's wife's heart was severely clenched.
Five thousand taels!
"Girl, I won't take out the money that goes into my pocket." The landlady directly exposed Shangguan Wan Ning's identity as a woman disguised as a man.
She felt that she had grasped the opponent's leverage, so she was very pleased with herself. "At most, I don't want the money she paid to redeem her life. You can take her away."
These words played into Shangguan Wan Ning's hands, but she still pretended to grit her teeth.
"Hmph, you are cruel." Shangguan Wan Ning turned around and winked at Mu Jingrui, "Take her and let's go."
Mu Jingrui suppressed the grief and anger in his heart. The fierce light flashing in his eyes made Shangguan Wan Ning shiver.
She mourned for these people in Yingchun Tower. She offended this evil god and was destined to die miserably in the future.
The landlady watched them leave with her hands on her hips and a proud smile on her face.
At this time, a servant hurriedly ran over, leaned over and said a few words in her ear. She was shocked and her hands trembled slightly.
Mu Jingyan felt herself leaning against a strong chest in a daze. She tried her best to open her eyes, but it only took a moment before she closed them heavily again.
I don't know if she had a hallucination before she died, but she seemed to see a familiar profile face.
"Brother...I feel so uncomfortable...I'm going to die, I have to go find my parents..."
Mu Jingyan's words made Mu Jingrui's heart feel like a knife.
"Silly girl, you don't know... who?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong murderous aura came over him.
