Chapter 498 I Owe Too Much in This Life

Su Mianyue had been in the Hengyuan Imperial Capital for two days. To be exact, she had only entered the capital one day earlier than the urgent report from the border to Wanyan Lin.

It was not that Su Mianyue was not fast enough, but that she had not been idle all the way, so the suspicions made Wanyan Lin's hidden post as busy as a headless fly for a while, which could also make some of Wanyan Lin's intelligence mistakes.

Sitting in the teahouse drinking tea, Su Mianyue was dressed in men's clothes and wearing a face mask. From time to time, he could see several people who were not diners walking past.

Although these people were dressed in ordinary clothes, su mianyue was sure that these people were Wanyan Lin's dark side, and only started to act after she was guessed by the border emergency report that she had entered the capital.

"Does this young man want to hear a song?" As Su Mianyue was about to get up, a well-dressed woman came to the table with a pipa in her arms and looked at the woman's face. Su Mianyue was in a daze for a moment.

This woman, without any makeup, resembled Xuezhu by five points, but what was most similar was the look between her eyes and eyebrows.

"It's very abrupt. Just as your friend hasn't arrived yet, the girl can play a song." Putting a silver ingot on the table, Su Mianyue opened his mouth apologetically, making people listen to him with pity.

"The slave family made a fool of themselves." The woman sat in the chair opposite Su Mianyue and skillfully played a River South ditty. Her voice was cool and refreshing.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Su Mianyue's mind reflected the memories of her acquaintance with Xuezhu. Unconsciously, her eyes turned red without knowing it.

At the end of the song, the woman sat quietly across from Su Mianyue, wondering why the unremarkable man had a sad look on his face, but did not disturb Su Mianyue from immersing himself in his thoughts.

"Oh, miss Xiaoxue is out singing again? Didn't I say that as long as miss Xiaoxue is willing to be your aunt, she will live a life of becoming a gentleman? Why should she show up and earn that disgraceful amount of money? Your fiance is counting on you to cure his illness and take the imperial examination. There is no hope in this life." An oily voice interrupted Su Mianyue's thoughts.

"Childe Huang, please be careful. Xiaoxue is on her own. Even if she starves to death on the street, she will never be a concubine." Xiaoxue said in a cold voice, picked up the silver and thanked Su Mianyue. "Thank you for your generosity. Xiaoxue thanked you here."

"Stop." Childe Huang took a step forward, reached out his fat hand to stop Xiaoxue's way, and looked at Su Mianyue with a cruel face, "Boy, if you are sensible, take away your money. In the capital, who doesn't know that miss Xiaoxue is in his favor. If you dare to give her money, you will not be able to cross with him and our huang family."

"The huang family? Which royal character? Is the prince related to the palace?" Su Mianyue pretended to speak in fear and turned to xiaoxue to persuade her, "If you don't follow this girl, you can be a relative of a royal family. It's more majestic than being the number one madam."

"I would rather be a poor wife than a concubine of a marquis's family. Although the slave family sells for a living, they know how to write the word" shameless." Xiaoxue had a look of humiliation on his face. He threw the silver on the table and walked around Childe Huang to leave.

"Stop, you can't leave without your permission. Your grandfather is one of the top officials in the imperial court. It's your good fortune to see you. If you still have the patience to be interested in you, hurry up and follow him. Otherwise, don't blame him for being ruthless!" Childe Huang shouted.

"Aren't you afraid that Childe Huang's forced marriage will implicate Mr. Huang's career? Although the young woman doesn't study much, she also understands that the official family has the most important reputation. The young woman already has a marriage contract. If Childe Huang forces her to do it again, the young woman will only die." Xiaoxue raised her chin with a resolute look, and it was obvious that she was not being pretentious.

The guests in the teahouse were whispering, but no one dared to help. It was obvious that they knew about Childe Huang forcing Xiaoxue, and no one dared to offend the grandson of a class of officials.

Su Mianyue wanted to make fun of her, but he saw the dagger in xiao xue's sleeve. Afraid that she would do something stupid, he sneered, "It's an eye-opener, but the grandson of a great man, not a great man himself, who dares to be so arrogant at the feet of the son of heaven. It turns out that the emperor of the Hengyuan is such a coward. I really don't know what the stakes in the dark are for. Are you just watching this scum destroy your master?"

Su Mianyue's words were a little harsh, but with so many people like Childe Huang, the precedent of revolt was not non-existent.

Childe Huang looked at Su Mianyue angrily. Just as he was about to teach him a lesson, his foot slipped and he fell forward.

Coincidentally, she bumped her head against the large vase placed at the door and knocked her whole head into the vase. Her neck was injured by the porcelain pieces below, and blood soon flowed all over the floor. She didn't need to think about it to know that this person was useless.

Childe Huang's men were so scared that they went to save people. Many of the guests in the teahouse were afraid of causing trouble that they took out money and left without waiting for the bill to be paid.

"Miss Xiaoxue, take your fiance and leave the capital as soon as possible. Childe Huang's family will not let you go." Su Mianyue said to xiaoxue, who was stunned.

"It's the prince..." Xiaoxue's voice trembled, and Don Joo finished his sentence after seeing Su Mianyue shake his head.

"This money is enough for a girl to earn a living. It's best not to come to the capital again unless the huang family falls." Su Mianyue said in a low voice and stuffed a purse into xiaoxue's hand as she brushed past her.

"Why did the young man help me?" Xiaoxue asked after him.

"Maybe doing good every day." As Su Mianyue spoke, Xuezhu's smiling face appeared again in her mind.

Xuezhu could never be saved in this lifetime. Perhaps this Xiaoxue and Xuezhu had some unknown relationship. Helping her would at least make her feel at ease.

Xiaoxue looked at Su Mianyue's back and stood at the door of the teahouse for a while. After that, he quickly stuffed the money bag into his sleeve and left with the pipa in his arms.

She believed Su Mianyue's words. Although Childe Huang did not die in her hands, she died because she appeared in the teahouse. If the huang family could not find the real culprit, they would take it out on her.

Su Mianyue did not go far. She stood in the corner and watched Xiaoxue follow her not far after she left. Her intuition told her that xiaoxue would be in danger again. Even with Xiaoxue's face, she could not see death without saving it.

"Xuezhu, I owe you my whole life." Standing outside a decrepit courtyard, Su Mianyue muttered to himself in a low voice. One of them jumped into the courtyard and continued to follow Xiaoxue.

Xiaoxue walked into her fiance's room with her pipa in her arms, but she did not avoid suspicion because of her body. Seeing that she was dragging her sick body to draw, she hurried forward and said, "Zhou Lang's painting should not be for a living. You should have a good rest."

"I have implicated you. If I hadn't been ill for a long time, why would you sell your family property to accompany me in such poverty?" Zhou Lang clenched his fists to cover his mouth and coughed a few times. He could tell from the sound that he was very weak.

"It's all fate. Zhou Lang wouldn't have fallen ill if he hadn't saved my father. Maybe he's already the number one scholar and the number one scholar. We're both destined, so why should we talk about whether we're involved or not?" Xiaoxue's eyes reddened slightly. He took the brush from Zhou Lang's hand and put it aside. Then he remembered his business and said, "Zhou Lang, we don't have time to explain too much to you right now. We must leave Capital City immediately, or we might die."

"But Childe Huang is pestering you again?" Zhou Lang asked angrily.

"He won't come again. It's not clear in a few words. Is Zhou Lang willing to wander with me? He's just wronged that Zhou Lang can't take the exam again. Xiaoxue owes Zhou Lang too much in this life." Xiaoxue choked.
