292: The Return of the Evil Sister-in-law (2)

The Return of the Evil Sister-in-law (2)

"When have you ever seen me joke with you?" Shen Miao's face was serious. Mo Qing thought for a moment. Ever since he knew Shen Miao, she had indeed meant every word she said. 1

However… it was too ridiculous to ask him to go to a brothel. Mo Qing shook his head and said with a red face, "Miss, this… I… Why do I have to go to the Treasure Fragrance Chamber?"

Shen Miao looked at him and remembered that in her previous life, she had indeed never seen Mo Qing having affairs with any girl. Who would've thought that the commander of imperial guards was actually a virgin?

She said, "Go if I tell you to. If Miss Liu Ying asks you why you're doing this, don't say anything. In short, play dumb."

Mo Qing was speechless.

Seeing that Mo Qing still looked unwilling, Shen Miao said sternly, "Don't you even listen to me?"

"I wouldn't dare!" Mo Qing quickly said. As soon as he said that, he felt a little frustrated. He was a proud man and was considered a top-notch guard in Shen Qiu's crew. Why did he feel so flustered when Shen Miao shouted at him? Logically speaking, although he was protecting Shen Miao's safety now, he was Shen Qiu's subordinate. What was more, even with Shen Qiu, he wasn't so nervous.

Puzzled, he then heard Shen Miao continue, "I heard that Miss Liu Ying is charming and extremely enchanting. Countless men have fallen for her. Although she's not the signature girl of the Treasure Fragrance Chamber, she's still popular. I chose you because I know you're righteous and have a strong will. I asked you to sit with her for a night, so don't do anything you shouldn't. If you fail, you can pack up your things and leave."

Mo Qing's face turned redder. He had never been so embarrassed before. Not only did Shen Miao make it sound so explicit, but she also glanced at him from head to toe and even stopped at a certain part of his lower body for a while. If not for the fact that Shen Miao was his master, Mo Qing would probably have left angrily. He wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He did not know how Shen Miao grew up to have such a personality. Being stared at her like that, Mo Qing felt like he was pork on a chopping board.

Seeing that Mo Qing's face was turning purple, Shen Miao let him go and waved her hand. "Go. Remember what I said."

Mo Qing ran out. Jingzhe was just returning from outside. Seeing this, she asked, "What's wrong, Guard Mo? You look like you're in pain. Did something happen?" Mo Qing had always been calm and composed. This was the first time she had seen him in such a sorry state.

"Nothing. He's just being shy." Shen Miao said, "How's the investigation going?"

Jingzhe was wondering what Shen Miao meant by him being shy. Hearing that, she said, "I've asked around. Old Madam's grandniece and nephew will be here in two days."

"Is that so?" Shen Miao smiled faintly. "Is her grandniece called Jing Chuchu?"

"Miss, how did you know?" Jingzhe was surprised.

Shen Miao did not say anything. She lowered her head to hide the killing intent in her eyes. Jing Chuchu was none other than her sister-in-law from her previous life.

…

Two days later, the sky cleared up. Shen Miao woke up early and went out to watch Shen Qiu and Shen Xin practice swordsmanship. On this cold day, the two of them were actually sweating profusely. The surrounding guards were all cheering as they watched. Just as they were in a good mood, they saw Old Madam Shen's maid, Xi'er, run over. She said that Old Madam Shen was summoning everyone to Rongjing Hall because her grandniece and nephew were here.
