Venomous Empress Reborn

Chapter 73: Commander, Mo Qing

??

After school, Shen Yue walked up to Shen Miao and said with a smile, “Miss Yi invited me and Eldest Sister to her house today, so I won’t go back with you. Fifth Sister, you can go back first.”

Yi Peilan and Shen Yue were close to each other, and they often hung out without Shen Miao. Hearing that, Shen Miao did not react much and only nodded.

Over the past few days, the Shen family had been treating Shen Miao very warmly. It was obvious that they were planning something against, but Shen Miao couldn’t be bothered with them.

桂花坊On the way back, they passed by the most prosperous street in the capital. Gu Yu said, “There’s a pastry shop ahead. Don’t you like the pastries the most? I’ll go buy some.”

“Go,” Shen Miao said with a smile.

After Gu Yu got out of the car, Jingzhe lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. When she saw something, she let out a cry of surprise. Shen Miao followed her gaze and saw a pawn shop beside the pastry shop. At this moment, there were many people around, seemingly arguing about something.

The pawnshop assistant seemed to be a little impatient. His voice was so loud that even Shen Miao could hear him clearly. “I said ten taels of silver. It’s up to you if you want to sell it or not! It’s just a sword. Don’t make things difficult for us.”

“I think they have a business dispute,” Jingzhe said.

The people in the pawnshop would naturally lower the price. Obviously, this was an unacceptable price for the person who came to pawn things, but they were unwilling to leave.

“There’s nothing to see.” Seeing that Shen Miao looked away, Jingzhe lowered the curtain. A moment later, Gu Yu came back with two big paper bags. Jingzhe pulled open the curtain and let her in. The moment she pulled open the curtain, Shen Miao’s gaze landed outside the carriage. She saw the person who was arguing with the shop assistant turn around and walk out of the crowd. He was still holding a sword in his hand. Probably because he did not manage to sell his item, he looked a little disappointed.

After Gu Yu got into the carriage, she was about to close the curtains when Shen Miao stopped her. She stared at the person holding the sword carefully. It was a young man who looked ordinary. Seeing that their miss was staring at the strange man, Gu Yu and Jingzhe were confused.

Shen Miao frowned. Why did this person look so familiar?

The young man shook his head and sighed. He looked at the sword in his arms and gritted his teeth. He turned around and walked towards the pawnshop again, as if he was finally going to make a decision to make that deal that he was not too satisfied with.

“Gu Yu!” The moment he turned around, Shen Miao suddenly shouted, “Go down and stop him. Tell him that I want his sword!”

“Miss…” Jingzhe and Gu Yu looked at her in surprise, not knowing why Shen Miao was doing this.

“Quick!” Shen Miao said coldly.

Seeing her serious expression, Gu Yu did not dare to ask further. She immediately jumped out of the car and walked towards the young man.

As soon as the young man took a step forward, he heard someone behind him say, “Mister, wait.”

He turned around and saw a woman who looked like a maid smiling at him and saying, “Mister, are you going to sell the sword in your hand?”

The young man was stunned for a moment before saying without hiding anything, “That’s right.”

The woman continued, “Coincidentally, my Miss wants this sword in your hand. Mister, are you willing to sell it to us?”

The young man glanced at her. Seeing that the woman didn’t seem to be lying, he nodded his head and said, “My sword isn’t exquisite. If you want a better one, go to a blacksmith’s shop to make one.” He was also surprised. Ordinary girls wouldn’t be interested in swords.

Gu Yu’s expression softened slightly, and she praised in her heart. This person in front of her was obviously in urgent need of money, but he was still considerate of her. It seemed that he was an upright person.

At the thought of this, Gu Yu’s expression softened. She said, “My Miss sincerely wants to buy this sword from you. Mister, why don’t we talk in private?”

The young man probably did not expect Gu Yu to be so stubborn. He glanced at the pawnshop and nodded. “Alright.”

When they arrived at an empty alley, he saw a carriage parked in the alley. Gu Yu walked up to the carriage and said softly, “Miss, he’s here.”

The young man walked to the carriage and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he cupped his fists and said, “Miss, my sword is indeed not suitable for women to use. It’s too heavy and sharp, and it’ll hurt you. Therefore…”

“What’s your name?” Before he could finish her sentence, a woman’s voice came from the carriage. This voice didn’t sound old, but there was an indescribable feeling to it, as if she was someone who used to have power over everyone. For a moment, he couldn’t tell her age.

“I’m Mo Qing.” After a moment of hesitation, the young man cupped his fists.

After saying that, there was no response for a long time. Just as the young man called Mo Qing and Gu Yu were both a little puzzled, a woman’s voice came from inside. “I’m not interested in your sword. It’s useless to me.”

Hearing this, a trace of anger appeared on Mo Qing’s face. He said, “Miss, are you playing with me? Although this sword looks ordinary, it was forged by a famous swordsmith and has accompanied me for many years. If you called me over just to humiliate me, sorry, I don’t have the time.”

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave when he heard a sigh coming from the carriage. The sigh was light, but it seemed to contain an inexplicable emotion, making people’s hearts ache.

“Mo Qing, you’re short of money, right?” The person in the carriage said.

Mo Qing was stunned. For some reason, when she called his name, he had a strange feeling. That feeling was very familiar but not entirely so. However, the moment he heard her speak, he couldn’t help but stop in his tracks, as if he couldn’t refuse anything she said.

“Your sword is indeed worthless to me, but your swordsmanship is worth a hundred gold coins.”

Mo Qing was stunned and shook his head. “Miss, I’m flattered. I’m just an ordinary person.” He was surprised that this person knew that his swordsmanship was outstanding.

“You even have to sell the sword that has been with you for many years just to get by. With your swordsmanship, you can live a much better life than that.” The curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted, and a girl in purple walked out.

She looked young and delicate, but there was a rare noble and dignified aura around her.

“Mo Qing, are you willing to work for my family?”

She asked with a smile, but there was a faint joy in her eyes.

Mo Qing, the commander of the guards in her previous life, reamined really… unchanged.
