Chapter 46
I heard before that for women in ancient times, feet were the third "punishment organ" besides reproductive organs and breast enlargement.They even regard their feet as more important than their chastity. Being touched by a man other than their husband is a more serious insult than touching other parts of the body.

And the last time when she got out of the carriage, it was Zhu'er who helped her get out of the carriage, and she was not so meticulous, but now Liu'er has one heart with her after all, even taking care of such small details, it is obvious who is close and who is distant.

Mo Zixu hid his emotion in his heart, but gently shook Liu'er's wrist, and said softly, "Let's go."

Liu'er naturally didn't know what she was thinking, so she followed obediently, and the master and servant entered the gambling house together.

The boy, Chang Xi, probably was also a regular customer who came to the gambling house to look for Qi Lianchen, so when the manager of the gambling house saw Chang Xi, he went up to greet him, and said with a smile, "Yo, brother Chang Xi, it's another time to come to the gambling house this evening. Looking for the third young master of your family?"

Watching Mo Zixu around, Chang Xi didn't dare to make a fuss, and politely said to the manager, "Where's the third young master of our family? Take us there quickly, the third young mistress is here to find someone herself!"

"Miss Qi San?"

Hearing the steward's words, a young man who was serving tea and water suddenly stopped, smiled and said to Mo Zixu who was wearing a veiled hat, "Miss Qi San, are you here to find Master Qi again? Do you remember the villain?"

Mo Zixu took a look, isn't this the guy who led the way last time?So, she chuckled and said, "Of course I remember, can I ask my little brother to help guide the way?"

Hearing Mo Zixu's gentle and soft voice, the little fellow scratched his head in embarrassment, with a troubled expression on his face, "This... Third Young Mistress Qi, it's unfortunate that you came, Third Young Master Qi has just left."

"gone?"

Mo Zixu thought to himself, there is only one way from the Qi mansion to the gambling house, and when they came, they didn't meet the Qi family's carriage or Qi Sanshao's people, "Where did he go? "

The young man scratched his head, hesitant to speak, and after a long time, he said with evasive eyes, "Maybe... Maybe I went to a nearby tavern to drink."

As soon as Mo Zixu saw him like that, he knew he was lying. Compared with his unnaturalness, the manager standing beside him looked indifferent, obviously convinced of his lies, It seems that this guy is the only one who knows where Qi Lianchen is going.

Mo Zixu didn't understand why Qi Lianchen asked the gambler to hide his whereabouts, but looking at the manager's expression, it seemed that this had happened more than once or twice.

Although Mo Zixu was puzzled, but in order to go back home for business, she had no choice but to wave to the young man. When the two walked to a relatively secluded place, she said softly, "Brother, you know, I was ordered Come here, what's the matter, you should also let me know what's going on in my heart, and after I go back, I will be able to explain it to the minister, don't you think?"

As she spoke, she quietly stuffed the silver ingot into the guy's hand.

This bribe, no matter what time, is one of the most convenient ways to do things.

It is said that the moment the boy took Wenyin, he inevitably touched the back of Mo Zixu's delicate and soft hand, coupled with her soft voice like the sound of nature, he felt as if his head had been hit by something, a little Fluttering, he weighed the ingot of grain silver again, no matter what, it was more than ten taels, comparable to the lobby where he has been running here for a year!

In the face of wealth, the young man knew that he was being tempted, but he felt that he was willing to do so, lowered his voice, and revealed all the things that someone had emphasized so much to keep secret.

"Third Young Mistress, I will tell you the truth. In fact, every time the Third Young Master comes, he only stays for a while and then leaves. He just told me that if someone comes, he will say that he is in a private gambling room." Or let’s just say that he suddenly became addicted to alcohol, so he went to the neighborhood for a drink or two, and then gambled when he came back to change his luck. Because every time he asked the villain to help him go through the back door, anyway, he didn’t owe money to the gambling house. People just help him, and...he still has rewards, how can a villain not do it? This is a secret, usually at this time, even our managers don't know, thinking that he has been staying in a private room ..."

After hearing his words, Mo Zixu's brows could not help but twitch.

Another secret!

She felt like her head was going to explode, why did she "coincidentally" know some people's secrets every day?Before she knew it, she had hidden too much in her mind and heart, and she was a little afraid. Maybe, when the time was right, she should find someone to share the burden with.

Besides, Qi Lianchen, he is obviously not that addicted to gambling, why did he create such an unflattering image for himself?She couldn't figure it out, but she understood one thing.It's no wonder that every time people from the Qifu come, they can't call this man back. It turns out that sometimes he isn't here at all!

As for why the Second Young Mistress can retire every time she goes out, perhaps, because the Second Young Mistress is also part of the secret?

The corner of her mouth twitched, and a very strange thought flashed in her mind: Could it be that the real hobby of Third Young Master Qi is not gambling, but prostitution, right?

Mo Zixu returned home without success, and sat on the carriage back home. She didn't say a word, she lowered her eyes, not sure if she was feigning sleep, or she was silent because of a bad mood.

When Liu'er saw her, she didn't dare to make a sound, she just glanced at her master quietly from time to time, and finally, she couldn't hold back anymore, and carefully suggested, "Miss, how about... let's go to a nearby tavern to look for it? "

Mo Zixu raised her head slowly, and in Liu'er's astonishment, she smiled lightly, "I'm too lazy to find someone without a clear direction." Most importantly, she didn't think Qi Lianchen would really go to the tavern Drinking, that's just an excuse for him to teach the boy.

Liu'er didn't know what was going on, she just asked worriedly, "Then what should we do now?"

Mo Zixu knew that the girl was actually worried about herself, so she felt warm and stretched out her hand to pat the back of Liu'er's hand, "It's nothing to do, go back to the house, and help daddy and the others find the old man by the way."

"But..." Seeing that my lady said it with a relaxed face, doesn't she know that if she can't call the third young master back this time, then the Qi mansion will naturally question her ability and her position in the third young master's heart?
