Chapter 434 Heartbroken
Chapter 434 Heartbroken
Qin Huiyin walked into the cabin and smelled a strong smell of blood as soon as she reached the door.
Puyang Qiubai walked out weakly, dressed in silver clothes with his long hair loose. His handsome face was pale and haggard, as if he would fall down at the next moment.
"Be careful." Qin Huiyin saw him stagger and quickly supported him. "Your body is so cold, I'll take you to see a doctor."
Puyang Qiubai shook his head and smiled weakly: "No, it's nothing serious. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
"You lost so much blood, and you still say it's okay?"
"With a background like mine, I'm used to this kind of thing. Girl, you shouldn't have come here." Puyang Qiubai smiled bitterly. "I thought you didn't understand the first time, but your family should have told you afterwards that this kind of place isn't a good place. Why are you here again today? Go back now, and don't come to places like this again."
"Mr. Bai is an unparalleled zither artist. Is there anything wrong with me coming here to listen to his music? This is your flower boat, and there's no one else here, so why can't I come?"
"What a naive little girl." Puyang Qiubai said helplessly, "Well, since you like my piano, I will play it for you. But don't come here again."
"You are injured like this today, how can you still play the piano? I will take you to see a doctor."
Song Yi couldn't stand it any longer and said to Qin Huiyin, "Second Miss, he's just a prostitute. Don't worry about him. Let's get off the boat quickly. If the two masters find out, we'll both be in danger."
"Yes, I am a lowly prostitute. The girl is from a wealthy family, so there is no benefit in getting involved with me."
Qin Huiyin frowned and said, "I don't think anyone is forcing you. With your piano skills, you can definitely support yourself. Why don't you change to another profession?"
"Young lady, you overestimate my abilities. How can I ever achieve what I want if I'm stuck in the mundane world?"
"Let's not talk about this for now. I'll take you to see a doctor and get you back on track. If you need to make some money, come and be my pianist. I'd love to learn piano."
"Second Miss..." Song Yiyi thought to herself, 'She's dead, she's dead' after hearing what Qin Huiyin said.
Secretly coming to Love Lake to find a man today was already a huge risk. If they brought him back, they might not even be able to keep his body intact.
Puyang Qiubai looked at the little girl in front of him. Her eyes were full of sincere worry and heartache. There was no worldly thoughts or greed. She was just simply heartbroken for his experience.
"I have customers later. Girl, please leave quickly and don't affect my ability to make money." Puyang Qiubai's expression darkened and his face turned cold.
Such a pure little girl, I can't drag her into this quagmire, I have to keep her away from me.
"You are in this state, how can you still get customers? I will give you double the silver that customer gave you." Qin Huiyin became more worried after hearing his words.
"Miss, you are so concerned about me. Could it be that you are attracted to my face like them? If so, I am willing to give myself to you. After all, compared to those old, ugly guests with strange tastes, it is a pleasure for me to have a romantic encounter with a young and beautiful woman like you." Puyang Qiubai said frivolously.
Qin Huiyin: "...Actually, you are not very suitable for such frivolous behavior, because you look too upright, like..."
Rich flower.
Yes! His temperament is that of a rich and noble woman, absolutely not the vulgarity of a prostitute.
Puyang Qiubai: "..."
"You really should consider my proposal. You can be my musician. I will pay you 20 taels of silver per month, and I can also provide you with food and accommodation. How about that?"
Song Yi and Song Er: "..."
The Second Young Lady didn't seem like the type to be so easily charitable, so why was she so enthusiastic about this man on the flower boat? Was she really attracted to his face and body?
"Ahem, since the young lady isn't in the mood to listen to the zither today, please get off the boat!" Puyang Qiubai said to the boatman, "Take the young lady back to shore."
The flower boat docked. Puyang Qiubai made a gesture of invitation, signaling Qin Huiyin to come ashore.
Qin Huiyin looked at Puyang Qiubai and went ashore.
As soon as she got ashore, she looked back and saw that the flower boat had already left.
"Miss, this man doesn't know what's good for him, so don't bother with him anymore. Miss, don't see him again. He is not a decent person. Be careful that the two masters find out about this and cause trouble for him. Miss, you also know the two masters' style of doing things. If they set their sights on this young man, I'm afraid his days on the flower boat in the Love Lake will become even more difficult." Song Yi reminded.
"Don't tell anyone about what happened today." Qin Huiyin listened.
"As long as the young lady doesn't come here again, we will certainly not tell anyone else. But if the young lady comes here again, we can't hide it anymore." Song Er complained.
"Let's go back!"
Puyang Qiubai stood at the bow and watched the slender figure disappear completely before returning to the cabin.
The captain supported him and said worriedly, "Sir, your injury..."
Puyang Qiubai pulled out a bottle of medicine from his bosom, tilted his head back and drank it, saying, "It's fine, I won't die."
"Sir, there was such a strong smell of blood just now. Will that girl notice anything? We just let her go..."
"If you dare touch her, expect me to collect your body tomorrow!" Puyang Qiubai said calmly, "The first time I saw her, she was accompanied by Song Ruize, the commander of the Military Department. The second time I saw her, she was accompanied by Tang Yichen, the Chief Censor. This little girl may seem harmless, but she's not a simple girl."
"The commander of the military and the chief censor are not important figures. Even if we offend them, it won't be a big deal, right?"
"The commander of the Military Affairs Department is certainly not a high-ranking official, but he controls a secret network that holds the secrets of 80% of the officials in the entire court. The Chief Censor is certainly not that formidable, but he has the emperor's backing. Otherwise, Prince Zhong's only son wouldn't have been sent to the border as cannon fodder."
"I really didn't expect that this little girl has such a powerful backer."
"Her biggest backer is herself. Do you know that military factory that appeared in recent years? It's very mysterious. The weapons, armor, and all the military supplies of the Ministry of War are produced by the military factory, and she is the creator of this military factory. And her food business has spread all over the country and is making a fortune every day."
"Since she is so important, why don't you take advantage of the situation and make friends with her? Maybe we can get the blueprints of the military factory?"
Puyang Qiubai chuckled: "Who knows? Maybe..."
"Master, have you softened your heart?"
"Don't you think she looks a lot like someone?" Puyang Qiubai said calmly, "Such a blessed little girl should live a clean life."
