Chapter 39

Su Mo looked over and found that the three of them had also come uptown.

"Sister Li? Why did you guys come uptown too?"

Sang Li and the others walked over. Xia Miaomiao saw Li Wenxuan and subconsciously hid behind Xiao Han.

And when Li Wenxuan saw Xia Miaomiao, his eyes lit up.

"Beauty, beauty, it\'s me, do you still remember me?" Li Wenxuan had a lecherous look.

Su Mo slapped him on the head.

Li Wenxuan immediately grabbed his head and didn\'t dare look at Xia Miaomiao anymore.

Sang Li glanced at Li Wenxuan, "What is he doing here?"

"This loser was hitting on me! By the way, what are you guys doing uptown?" Su Mo asked.

"It\'s a long story. We have to go find a house today and move out of Wenge Xuan tomorrow." Sang Li said.

"Why?"

"It was Lady Bai\'s idea to make us leave the Bai family." Xiao Han said.

"It\'s good to leave the Bai family!" Li Wenxuan suddenly shouted, "You girls should have left the Bai family long ago! Isn\'t the Bai family full of bad luck with all those deaths?"

"Shut up, get lost!" Su Mo let go of Li Wenxuan\'s collar.

Li Wenxuan straightened his clothes and shamelessly said, "Ladies, aren\'t you looking for a house? What a coincidence, I have an empty courtyard, elegant environment, pleasant scenery, perfect for you!"

The girls looked at him in unison and said, "Are you crazy?"

"Oh come on, no hard feelings! It was all a misunderstanding before!" Li Wenxuan quickly explained.

Sang Li thought about it, "Fine, take us to see the courtyard you mentioned first. If it works, we\'ll rent it."

Li Wenxuan immediately said, "Great, I\'ll take you there now!"

"You better behave yourself, or I\'ll waste you!" Su Mo threatened.

"My lady, I\'ve already witnessed your mightiness, how would I dare bother you again? Wouldn\'t it be better to bother this gentle beauty instead?" Li Wenxuan looked at Xia Miaomiao and even winked at her.

Su Mo kicked him again, "Don\'t you wink at her!"

The girls followed Li Wenxuan to the courtyard he mentioned, called Qinglin Academy.

It was a siheyuan with a big tree in the yard, a table and some stone stools under the tree, and quite a few flowers planted around.

"Although not big, it\'s enough for you four." Li Wenxuan said.

The girls looked around and felt this place didn\'t seem bad.

"How much per month?" Sang Li asked.

"No need to pay! If you like it, just live here! Considering this beauty\'s face, I can\'t charge money, right?" Li Wenxuan looked at Xia Miaomiao again and raised his eyebrows at her.

Su Mo kicked him again, "Don\'t raise your eyebrows at her!"

"How about this, one or two taels of silver for three months, not expensive, right?" Li Wenxuan said again.

"Fine, it\'s a deal then."

...

After Li Wenxuan left the yard, his guard said, "Young master, isn\'t this yard haunted?"

Li Wenxuan laughed, "That\'s right, I rented it to them because it\'s haunted! Did you really think I care about the money? I\'m just waiting for them to get scared to death, humph!"

"Then... what if they don\'t get scared to death?"

"Then just rent it to them. It\'s not like I can rent out this haunted place anyway!" Li Wenxuan said indifferently.

The previous tenant died of fright in this yard.

Li Wenxuan didn\'t believe it was haunted until he stayed here himself for a few days and got scared half to death.

The yard had been vacant ever since.

Su Mo and the girls were sitting under the big tree in Qinglin Academy as Sang Li told them what happened.

"So Lady Bai doesn\'t want Sister Li to keep in touch with Bai Yunhan anymore?" Su Mo asked.

"I feel something strange about this. Lady Bai trusted us so much before, why would she want to drive us out of Lan City now..."

"Oh, that reminds me, I saw Lady Bai on the street earlier and noticed she knows martial arts!" Su Mo suddenly said.

"What did you say?" Sang Li frowned, "Lady Bai knows martial arts?"

Xiao Han and Xia Miaomiao were also surprised, "She doesn\'t look like someone who would know martial arts!"

"I saw with my own eyes her shooting down Li Wenxuan with a pebble. If she didn\'t know martial arts, there\'s no way she could\'ve done that."

Xia Miaomiao suddenly thought of something, "Could it be... some hidden truth about Elder Bai\'s death? The murderer isn\'t Third Auntie?"

"No, the murderer must be Third Auntie." Sang Li said, "But Lady Bai... what role did she play in this case?"

"Ah, forget about the Bai family\'s business, I think we shouldn\'t get involved! The most important thing now is making a living for ourselves!" Xiao Han asked, "Miaomiao, how much money do we have left?"

"We\'ve been spending too much lately, only ten taels left."

This money was all given to them by Bai Yunxin before.

"Oh don\'t worry, if it comes down to it... I\'ll just go rob the rich to help the poor!" Su Mo said.

As a rich heiress, she\'d never had to worry about money before. She didn\'t expect to have to worry about money after coming to ancient times.

"I don\'t remember any female lead worrying about money in those novels I read before!"

"The four of us female leads must\'ve split the protagonist\'s halo. That\'s why we have so much bad luck!"

The four girls couldn\'t help but laugh. Their crisp laughter echoed in the yard...

...

That night, Lady Bai did send someone to deliver fifty taels of silver as expected.

The girls planned to rent a shop and open one.

"Should we consider my previous proposal of opening a hot pot restaurant here?" Su Mo said.

"But people here don\'t eat chili peppers. Don\'t know if they can get used to it." Xia Miaomiao said.

"We can start by making some chili oil to eat noodles, cold dishes, let people here try it first. If they like it, we can do hot pot."

"Starting tomorrow, we\'ll have to be self-reliant!"

"Cheers!"

...

The girls drank some wine then went to bed.

Late at night, the night wind brought a hint of coolness. A black shadow appeared in the yard.

"You finally showed up." A voice came from under the pavilion.

The black shadow stopped abruptly and immediately fled from the yard.

"Wu Ying!" Su Mo chased him out, "Stand right there!"

Wu Ying heard Su Mo call out his name and immediately stopped.

"You followed me all day, now you don\'t want to see me again?"

Wu Ying stood with his back to her without speaking.

Su Mo ran over and stopped behind him, "Was the one pretending to be Light Wind yesterday you? Was the one hugging me back to Wenge Xuan you? Was the one following me all day today you?"

"Say something! Why did you do all this?" Su Mo questioned, "Don\'t you dislike me? Aren\'t we just passing acquaintances?"

Wu Ying still didn\'t speak.

Su Mo grabbed his arm and turned him to face her, "Say something! Are you mute?"

Wu Ying looked at her and nodded.

"... " Su Mo suddenly remembered she had asked the same of Light Wind yesterday and he had nodded too.

"Don\'t think that pretending to be mute will help you evade my questions! If you don\'t speak, I\'ll... I\'ll kiss you!" Su Mo glared at him.

Wu Ying was stunned for a moment, subconsciously glancing at her lips.

Su Mo had kissed him twice before, one just a peck, the other she bit his lip and drew blood.

Seeing that he still didn\'t speak, Su Mo deliberately said, "Oh, so you actually want me to kiss you? Then I won\'t stand on ceremony!"

Su Mo said and stood on her tiptoes to kiss him.

She only meant to test his reaction, but Wu Ying didn\'t dodge.

Right before touching his lips, Su Mo stopped.

She stared into his eyes, hooked her lips slyly, "Nevermind, since you don\'t like me anyway, there are plenty of handsome guys at Fuhua Lou, no lack of you. Not only can I see them, but also kiss and touch them!"

Right after she finished talking, Wu Ying pulled her by the waist and forcibly kissed her on the lips.

Su Mo\'s eyes widened, utterly shocked!

What was happening here? She, Su Mo, was forcibly kissed by an ancient man?!

Until Wu Ying left her lips, Su Mo was still in shock, she just stared at him blankly.

"I forbid you to go to Fu Hua Building." Wu Ying\'s low voice came.

When Su Mo heard him speak, she was startled awake, and pushed Wu Ying away, looking at him in surprise.

"What are you doing?"

"Reciprocity."

"..." What a reciprocity!

"You kissed me twice, I only kissed once, there is still one time left, remember first."

"..."

Wu Ying stared at her lips, unconsciously pursed his lips.

It turns out there are more interesting things in this world than killing.

"Wu Ying, are you teasing me?" Su Mo was a little dissatisfied.

This person didn\'t make it clear, one moment he said he didn\'t like her, the next he did things that made people misunderstand. Her brain didn\'t have so many twists and turns. If she liked it, she liked it. If she didn\'t like it, she didn\'t like it. Why pretend?

Wu Ying lowered his eyes, "I\'m sorry..."

"What does I\'m sorry mean? Someone tried to kill us at the Wenge Pavilion before, did you leak it to Third Auntie?"

"Of course not!" Wu Ying looked at her, as if enduring something in his eyes, "I didn\'t want to have anything to do with you anymore, but I can\'t control it. Recently, I\'ve been thinking about you all the time. I don\'t know what\'s wrong with me. When I saw you go into Fu Hua Building, I wished I could kill all the men in it!"

"..."

"Su Mo!" Wu Ying shouted her name, grabbed her hand, with a hint of possession in his eyes, "I don\'t like seeing you treat other men like that!"

"On what basis do you manage me? You are not my anyone!" Su Mo said deliberately.

"If you have to go to them, then I will kill them all!" Wu Ying said in a deep voice.

"..."

Su Mo struggled to take her hand back, and asked very directly: "So do you like me or not? Unless you become my boyfriend, or else I will still look for other men!"

There was a hint of confusion in Wu Ying\'s eyes, "What is a boyfriend?"

"That is... my future husband!"

When Wu Ying heard her say this, his heart rate accelerated for some reason.

His cheeks were a little hot, he turned his head, and his eyes flashed a hint of gloom, "But I... have no father or mother, nor home."

"So what? I have no father, mother or home here too! If we are together, wouldn\'t we have a home?"

When Wu Ying heard her say this, he was moved inside.

"I..."

He didn\'t know how to tell her about his identity. He didn\'t want to lie to her, but he was afraid that Su Mo would be afraid of him when she knew his identity, and even more afraid that it would harm her.

"What\'s wrong with you? Are you unwilling to be my boyfriend?" Su Mo looked at him.

"No!" Wu Ying denied immediately: "I\'m... worried."

"Worried that it will hurt you." Wu Ying turned to look at her and said seriously: "Su Mo, my identity is special, it may bring you trouble."

Su Mo smiled at him, "What a coincidence, I, Su Mo, fear nothing, least of all trouble!"

Wu Ying looked at her laughing, and the corners of his mouth couldn\'t help but reveal a smile.

Even in the dead of night, he felt as if he was in the light.
