It had only been a short while, yet he was being bullied again.

Did this person have a physique that was prone to bullying?

There was a bitter expression on Yun Niang’s face.

“Mm-hmm.” She nodded.

Then, she explained the circumstances to Qin Xiaoyao.

It turned out that the brother of Empress Jia had taken a fancy to Liu Ling and was determined to redeem him and bring him back to the Jia family’s residence.

However, Liu Ling himself was not inclined toward people of the same gender as him, and he was the only male offspring of the Liu family. How could he be willing to be redeemed by the brother of Empress Jia?

In addition, the situation in the Jia family’s residence was complicated, and the various households were fighting each other openly and plotting secretly. Even if Liu Ling entered the Jia family’s residence, he would not lead a good life.

Yun Niang was very unwilling to let her younger brother suffer this kind of hardship.

That was why she approached Qin Xiaoyao.

She thought that since Qin Xiaoyao was a woman, even if her younger brother followed her without a title, he would not be forced to submit to others.

If he was lucky, he might even end up with male offspring.

Thus, she decided to probe thoroughly. She found out that Qin Xiaoyao was actually upright and did not have any improper thoughts about her younger brother.

This was even better.

If she could borrow Qin Xiaoyao’s hand to help her younger brother leave Cloud Scent Court, her younger brother would be able to live like an ordinary person in the future.

Qin Xiaoyao listened to Yun Niang’s explanation as well as her conclusion that Qin Xiaoyao was the upright and honorable type. She looked a little embarrassed at the end.

Was it really good for this girl to be so outspoken?

However, Qin Xiaoyao was not afraid of offending that brother of Empress Jia.

After all, she was now someone that Empress Jia wanted to win over, and the brother of Empress Jia probably wouldn’t dare to go against her.

As for the future, if her husband and Prince Huaiyin became enemies with Empress Jia, there was a high chance that she would end up going against Empress Jia.

Therefore, it didn’t seem like a big deal to have an additional feud with Empress Jia’s brother.

“The influence of Empress Jia’s brother is wide-reaching and overpowering. In the entire capital, there are really not many who dare to go against him.

“Your humble servant has no other choice but to approach you, Lord Marquis.

“I implore Lord Marquis to sympathize with us siblings and help us this time.

“In the future… in the future, if Lord Marquis has any need for me, I, Yun Niang, will go through fire and water, and definitely risk my life to serve you!” Yun Niang said with determination.

Qin Xiaoyao felt quite moved.

“Let me think about this matter.” She finally relented.

Although she wasn’t afraid of offending Empress Jia’s brother, there would definitely be trouble if she took Liu Ling in.

Of course, there were also benefits.

Needless to say, receiving 2000 taels of silver for doing nothing was one of them. In addition, she could make use of Yun Niang’s connections to quickly buy some properties in the capital.

She had just arrived and was not familiar with the capital. If she could get Yun Niang’s help, carrying out these tasks would definitely be much smoother.

When she saw that Qin Xiaoyao had finally relented, Yun Niang’s expression relaxed quite a bit.

“No hurry, no hurry. Lord Marquis, you can give me an answer within three days,” she said.

Qin Xiaoyao looked at Yun Niang with a puzzled expression.

“Empress Jia’s brother mentioned to the brothel madame that he will come to redeem Ling’er in five days.”

If she gave Qin Xiaoyao three days to consider and if she didn’t consent to help, Yun Niang might be able to think of another way within the remaining two days.

“Alright.” Qin Xiaoyao finally agreed.

Following that, the private dining room became lively again.

Tonight, the second floor that Qin Xiaoyao booked was the most raucous in Cloud Scent Court, and it stole the most limelight.

Although some people found them noisy, no one dared to replace fault with them.

That was because Qin Xiaoyao was around.

When the people who found them too rowdy heard Qin Xiaoyao’s name, they all shrank back.

It was enough to show how intimidating the reputation of the “Great Jin State’s God of Massacre” was.

Downstairs, after Liu Ling finished his performance, he also came upstairs.

He personally toasted Qin Xiaoyao to thank her for saving him this morning.

After inquiring, Qin Xiaoyao found out that the three well-dressed young men were from the Jia family.

The reason they bullied Liu Ling on the streets was that they did not want their father and uncle to bring Liu Ling into the Jia family’s residence.

Upon learning of this situation, Qin Xiaoyao subconsciously sympathized with Liu Ling.

Thereafter, she didn’t allow Liu Ling to leave.

She retained the siblings to drink and have fun with her gang of brothers.

The merry-making lasted until midnight.

Without any worries of trouble in the aftermath and without the need to worry about being ambushed by the enemy, Qin Xiaoyao could finally let her hair down and drink a little more.

When she left Cloud Scent Court, Qin Xiaoyao felt that she was already 70% drunk.

The reason she thought she was 70% drunk was that she realized that she had almost mistaken Liu Ling for Song Que several times.

However, every time she mistook him for her husband, she would quickly sober up. Then, she would ascertain that Liu Ling was not her husband.

After rejecting the Liu siblings’ offer to send her off, Qin Xiaoyao boarded the horse carriage from the Marquis’s residence and returned to the residence.

Meanwhile, in a private dining room on the third floor of Cloud Scent Court.

A man in a green robe stood by the window, watching Qin Xiaoyao’s horse carriage leave.

He only turned around when the carriage disappeared into the night.

What was surprising was that this person was none other than Song Que, who had been missing for a long time.

The two people standing opposite Song Que were Yun Niang and Liu Ling, who had been drinking with Qin Xiaoyao earlier.

“Master and Mistress are so deeply in love. It’s enviable,” Yun Niang suddenly said with a smile.

Liu Ling, who was next to her, also nodded. He looked at Song Que with deep envy in his eyes.

Having been in Cloud Scent Court for many years, he and his elder sister were used to seeing men who were unfaithful after they became rich. There were even women who became like that too.

There were really very few people like Qin Xiaoyao who could still maintain their original purity after becoming famous overnight.

A warm smile appeared on Song Que’s face.

“She is indeed very good,” he replied.

Thereafter, he said to the two of them, “Sit down and talk.”

The Liu siblings looked at each other and sat down.

“Although Mistress promised to consider helping, she did not give a definite answer. Three days later, if Mistress changes her mind…” Yun Niang looked worriedly at Song Que.

That was right. It was Master Song’s idea to arrange for Liu Ling to enter Marquis Xiaoyao’s residence.

Furthermore, the two siblings were Master’s followers.

Strictly speaking, they were also Master’s relatives. They could be considered his cousins.

When Prime Minister Song Hong got into trouble back then, the Liu family was also implicated.

She and her younger brother had escaped by chance and they ended up in Cloud Scent Court.

Not long ago, Master suddenly found them and helped them solve a big problem. Only then did they join Master’s camp and started working for him.

They would take revenge for the Liu family sooner or later.

If they followed Master, the Liu family would definitely regain its glory.

“She will agree,” Song Que replied with a faint smile.

Even if she didn’t agree, he would think of a way to make her agree.

Yun Niang and Liu Ling looked at each other again and finally let go of their worries.

“What other instructions does Master have for us?” Yun Niang asked next.

“I don’t need you guys to do anything else for the time being. Just focus on helping her buy her properties and establish herself in the capital,” Song Que said.

As he spoke, he looked at Liu Ling.

“Find an opportunity to show her your ability to manage a business. After this, she would probably open a porridge shop and sell century egg porridge.

“That porridge tastes very good. It should be able to earn money.

“With you helping her, I can rest assured.”

“Alright,” Liu Ling quickly answered.

Song Que nodded.

“Also, Empress Jia’s brother…” he continued

“Don’t worry, Master. 1 know how to handle it,” Liu Ling said in a low voice..
