The Hou family's mistress was reborn and destroyed the household registration book of the scumb

Chapter 37 Someone Eavesdropped
"I don't know this," Bai Zhi shook her head in confusion, then cheered up and said, "If the young lady cares, I will go find out everything for you later!"

"never mind."

Dou Lianyi thought for a while, then waved her hand and refused without interest.

"What are you planning to do today, Madam?"

"Go to the store and take a look."

After packing up, Dou Lianyi remembered that today was the day to collect rent from those shops at the beginning of the month, so she asked Bai Zhi to bring her a set of slightly more formal clothes.

"What do you think of this, young lady?"

Dou Lianyi glanced at herself in the bronze mirror. She was wearing a sunset purple short coat and a floor-length skirt with dark gold lines on a crescent white background. It would not make people look down on her, nor would it be too dazzling.

"very good."

After that, Dou Lianyi picked out a white jade conch gold hairpin from the dressing box on the table and inserted it diagonally into her bun.

The carriage had been waiting outside the Prince's Mansion for a while. Seeing Dou Lianyi and Bai Zhi get on the sedan, the coachman whipped his horse whip and rushed towards the market.

After touring a circle of shops and collecting all the rent that should be collected, Dou Lianyi looked at the bulging purse and could not suppress the raised corners of her mouth.

Even Bai Zhi couldn't bear to see it, and whispered: "Young Madam, please stop laughing, everyone is looking at us."

"Cough cough."

After being reminded by Bai Zhi, Dou Lianyi calmed down her emotions and returned to her usual calm expression.

When Dou Lianyi walked out of the bank after depositing the banknotes, he immediately saw Qin Mu sitting in a tea stall across the street, dressed in purple.

It happened to be very close to the color she was wearing today. If Dou Lianyi hadn't known that the clothes she changed into today were just a temporary move, she would have doubted whether Qin Mu's spy was planted around her.

Qin Mu waved to her leisurely and motioned for her to come over and have a drink together.

Originally, Dou Lianyi just wanted to pretend that she didn't see him and turn around and leave. However, Qin Mu cleared her throat and shouted to her at a higher voice: "Miss Dou, this way!"

"Young madam, this is Mr. Qin."

Bai Zhi thought the young lady didn't hear it, so she reminded her.

However, Dou Lianyi raised her hands to cover her face and pretended to block the sun. She did not look across the street and even sped up her pace a bit.

"Miss Dou, it's over here. Don't go to the wrong place."

Qin Mu's calling voice was a little more enthusiastic. Seeing that he was so afraid that he would not be able to get through, he would not give up.

Seeing that people on the street began to look over curiously, Dou Lianyi could only stamp her feet, turn around and walk over no matter how reluctant she was.

"Miss Dou, please have tea."

Qin Mu didn't notice the displeasure on Dou Lianyi's face at all, but instead pushed the tea bowl on the table to her with a smile.

Dou Lianyi happened to be thirsty after leaving. She didn't want to be polite to Qin Mu, so she finished the entire bowl of tea in one breath.

The tea soup was cool and moist, with a faint smell of Chinese herbal medicine. Dou Lianyi couldn't help but want to praise it, but the next second she heard Qin Mu's slow words.

"This tea clears the eyes and soothes the mind. It is also excellent for restoring ear strength. It is very suitable for you, Miss Dou, to drink."

Dou Lianyi's movements faltered slightly. She put down the tea bowl and raised her eyebrows to glance at Qin Mu, who was smiling.

"Master Qin, are you mocking me for being deaf and blind?" "Miss Dou, what do you mean by this?"

Hearing this, Qin Mu widened his eyes innocently and defended: "I just saw you walking all the way, and the weather was hot, so I just thought of treating you to a bowl of tea soup. If you let Miss Dou do it because of my stupidity, You misunderstood my sincerity, which is really unfair."

When Qin Mu said the words "sincerely", the guest sitting on the wooden table behind him suddenly moved slightly.

However, Qin Mu only paid no attention to it.

"How did you know that I walked all the way? Could you have been following me secretly!"

Dou Lianyi frowned and stared at Qin Mu with her eyes as bright as stars, trying to see some clues on his face.

"Miss Dou, to tell you the truth, most of the shops on this street also belong to me. Today is the day to collect the rent at the beginning of the month, so I am here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the owner of the tea stall served another plate of honey peanuts with a flattering look on his face. He rubbed his hands and asked Qin Mu in a low voice: "Boss Qin, do you think this month's rent can be postponed for a few days?" , Business is really not good during this period. There are elders in my family and younger ones in my family. This..."

As he spoke cautiously, he secretly observed Qin Mu's expression, for fear of making the other party unhappy.

"Do you like it? Give it a try."

Qin Mu ignored him, but gestured to Dou Lianyi about the plate of honey peanuts.

After she took one and put it in her mouth and nodded, Qin Mu turned his head and said casually to the bent tea stall owner: "Then let's waive the rent for this month. Who likes Miss Dou?" Where are you eating your honey peanuts?”

"Thank you, Miss Dou, thank you, Boss Qin!"

The tea stall owner was also very discerning and knew that Qin Mu had sold this favor to the pretty girl in front of him, so he nodded and thanked her before retreating.

Dou Lianyi accepted this favor for nothing, and could no longer be cold-hearted to Qin Mu. In addition, this man was indeed just a talker, but he had never done anything to harm himself.

Thinking of this, Dou Lianyi asked for another bowl of tea soup, softened her tone, and said to Qin Mu: "I also drank the tea, and I have seen Mr. Qin's financial resources. I wonder if Mr. Qin has anything else to say? "

"Yes, it is related to the business dealings between the County Prince's Palace and me, but we'd better discuss it in another place. What do you think?"

Qin Mu paused mid-sentence. He came closer, covered himself with his sleeves, ordered tea with his hands, and wrote a few words on the table.

"Someone eavesdropped."

The fragrance of apricot blossoms appeared faintly, and Dou Lianyi's heart skipped a beat. She originally thought that he was back to his old ways, and was about to push him away, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw what he had written.

She was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately and responded to Qin Mu in the same way.

After the two reached a consensus, Dou Lianyi stood up and said calmly: "Young Master Qin is a safe man, so let's see you at Runxiang Tower the day after tomorrow."

Qin Mu nodded, "Everything is according to your wishes, Miss Dou."

After Dou Lianyi left with Bai Zhi, Qin Mu still sat there and looked at the other person's back. After a while, he reluctantly got up and left.

County Palace.

In Lu Lianzhi's house, she was sitting at the table and whispering to a servant who was kneeling on the ground and had a mole under his right eye.

"What did you say? True or false!"

"I can't possibly hear it wrong when I say it to the second young lady. The young lady and the young master were sitting behind me at that time, so I can understand every word clearly!"
