Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 143 Brown Candy

Qin Yuanyuan was deeply hurt.

Gu Qingyue: ...You actually speak so eloquently, it seems you've been educated. How can you be so shameless?

Gu Qingyue felt suffocated.

At this moment, the area was completely surrounded by relatives and even small vendors who had gotten up early to go to the market.

They all had a gossipy look in their eyes, eagerly anticipating how the young boy would drive Qin Yuanyuan away.

Of course, nobody knew Gu Qingyue, didn't know her background, and nobody talked about her, but they all knew Qin Yuanyuan!

Her story of pursuing men could go on for two days and two nights without stopping!

In the southern part of the city, everyone knows the glorious deeds of the eldest daughter of the Qin family!

Therefore, Gu Qingyue, who was passively drawn into this drama, felt that she was really wronged.

The maids and servants standing behind Qin Yuanyuan blushed with embarrassment. One of the maids kept tugging at Qin Yuanyuan's sleeve, but she remained unmoved, making the others almost cry.

Gu Qingyue had no idea that what those maids were hoping for most was for their young mistress to faint quickly, so that they would have a way to take her away. They had plenty of experience with this before.

At this moment, Gu Qingyue was so angry she wanted to hit someone.

Even chewing candy shouldn't be this sticky.

"Look, look! That young master is about to get angry."

"Hey, Miss Qin has good taste! Look at the young men she's chosen, each one more handsome than the last."

"They're so capable! Why doesn't our daughter have that kind of vision?"

"What kind of taste is that? How can you be so shameless when choosing a husband? What kind of reputation do you have left?"

"Are you stupid? You still have any reputation after all this?"

"Exactly! Maybe she knows she'll never get married, that's why she's looking for a husband in the street!"

Gu Qingyue: ......

There really are some insightful people out there.

"Look, that young master is so handsome. Look at his eyes, they look so gentle when he looks at people."

"He's much better looking than your cousin Chai."

"You know what, it's true, except he's a bit young."

"Is Madam Yuan missing her husband? Why don't you take this young master as your husband? But he looks like he's not grown up yet, I don't know if he'll be suitable, hehehe..."

Gu Qingyue: ......

Whoever says that people in ancient times were reserved and old-fashioned, come out here and I promise I won't kill you!

"Move aside, I'm busy," Gu Qingyue said impatiently.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, and it was noisy, Qin Yuanyuan felt that it was not a good place to talk, so she quickly said, "How about I invite you to have breakfast at the restaurant next door? What do you think?"

After saying that, he eagerly awaited Gu Qingyue's reply.

Gu Qingyue said irritably, "Get out of the way, I have things to do, don't force me to take action." After a pause, Gu Qingyue lowered her voice, leaned closer, and said in Qin Yuanyuan's ear, "If you don't want to lose your life, feel free to stop me."

After saying that, Gu Qingyue saw Qin Yuanyuan's cheeks flushed and her breathing unsteady, clearly due to excessive excitement. Just as Gu Qingyue was about to threaten her again, she saw the chubby girl faint again.

Holy crap! She didn't do anything, I swear to God!

This time, they didn't even touch his shoulder!

The maids and servants behind Qin Yuanyuan swiftly grabbed her shoulders and immediately carried her away.

They didn't linger for even a moment longer.

All the movements were performed in one smooth motion, leaving Gu Qingyue dumbfounded.

Coming to her senses, she remembered what happened last time. Could it be that she has become a powerful weapon now?

Can you make someone unconscious without physical contact?

What's most perplexing is that the other party's maids didn't seem to care at all.

The crowd erupted in chaos!

"Look, Miss Qin has fainted again. I heard she also fainted when she saw that young master Huai last time. She chased after him to his house, wanting to marry him. Guess what happened?"

"How was it? Tell me quickly!"

"He's already married, and he married into a wealthy family in Jiangnan. That's good, otherwise, he would have been taken advantage of."

"That's too exaggerated. She's just a young girl. How could she possibly chase someone all the way to their house?"

"..."

Outside the crowd, another person was watching with great interest.

It was none other than Mo Shaoshang, who had said goodbye in haste last time.

Gu Qingyue let out a long sigh, watching the crowd gradually disperse. Just as she was about to relax, she saw that figure not far away, smiling gently, warm and gentle like jade.

The first thing Gu Qingyue thought of when she saw Mo Shaoshang was, "What a handsome face!"

Gu Qingyue gave a helpless smile and walked towards Mo Shaoshang.

"Did Young Master Mo find this a joke?" Gu Qingyue asked teasingly.

Mo Shaoshang's smile was meaningful.

This smile subtly reduced the distance between the two and added a touch of intimacy.

"Qingyue, are you going to buy something?" Mo Shaoshang asked curiously when he saw the basket in Gu Qingyue's hand.

"Yes, I'd like to take a stroll through the South City Market," Gu Qingyue said, unaware that Mo Shaoshang had stopped calling her Young Master Gu and was now addressing her as Qingyue, a more intimate form of address.

"I advise Qingyue not to go. With her appearance, she might run into trouble again," Mo Shaoshang kindly reminded her, seeing her nonchalant attitude.

It must be said that even when Gu Qingyue was dressed as a man, she was still very attractive, so it was quite normal for her to be noticed by women.

Gu Qingyue glanced at the slyly smiling man, knowing he was teasing her again, and simply smiled without responding.

After a moment, Gu Qingyue looked at the vegetable market getting closer and closer and said, "Young Master Mo, you should go back. This place is not suitable for you."

After saying that, he looked Mo Shaoshang up and down in his long robe, gave him a knowing look, waved his hand, picked up his basket, and left.

What a joke! She didn't want to be seen at the market with a well-dressed, handsome man. It wasn't that she was uncomfortable; she was mainly afraid of being stared at by the older women and aunties—what a nuisance!

Besides, the fabric he was wearing wasn't suitable for the market; it was completely out of place!

Unlike the plain cotton robe I'm wearing, it's simple and unpretentious!

Watching her walk away and disappear into the crowd, Mo Shaoshang was still in a daze, wondering what she meant by those words.

Putting Mo Shaoshang out of her mind, Gu Qingyue finally stood at the entrance of the vegetable market.

Generally speaking, a handsome man carrying a shopping basket into the market is quite eye-catching.

But Gu Qingyue looks very young, just a teenager, so it's not a big problem and not many people are paying attention to her.

After some picking and haggling, Gu Qingyue finally picked out two healthy blackfish from the fish stall. It seems she should come to the market more often.

Looking at the fish and fresh vegetables made me feel much better.

Standing next to the fish tank, Gu Qingyue took out her purse and paid the bill.

The shopkeeper gave him change with great enthusiasm and kindly reminded him, "Young master, if you ever encounter Miss Qin in the future, it's best to avoid her. The Qin family is not to be trifled with; be careful not to get yourself into trouble."

After saying that, he shook his head, sighing helplessly at the decline of morality.

Upon hearing this, the old woman selling taro nearby quickly nodded and said, "Young man, be careful! That Master Qin dotes on that chubby girl like the apple of his eye. He gives her whatever she wants. If you don't do what he wants, he might cause you trouble!"

"Yes, yes, Miss Qin has taken a fancy to one man after another. I heard that those who didn't comply were all retaliated against by Master Qin. Kid, you better watch out."

"That's right, that's right. I heard that Miss Qin even snatched a young man in the street. I wonder what happened to that unlucky kid."

"Don't talk nonsense. It wasn't stolen; they sent someone to steal it at night."

"You're talking nonsense! Xiao Jun's mother saw it with her own eyes..."

They almost got into an argument while they were talking.
