After a dance, Pin Yue immediately left.

Mei Ji returns to the stage and announces who will bid the highest tonight, and there will be a chance to drink and sing with Miss Pinyue.

As a result, Nightshade appeared in a bidding conference that was unique in history.

"I'll pay twenty taels!" someone began to shout.

"Thirty taels!"

"Fifty taels!"

......

The more you shout, the higher the price, and the more you shout, the less people shout.

Because most people have figured out one thing: it's just drinking and talking, and it's not allowed to get close to her, and it doesn't seem worth spending too much money.

"Two hundred taels!" a man in his thirties stepped out of the crowd, holding a ready-made silver ticket in his hand.

When he shouted like this, the others fell silent.

Two hundred taels of silver, that's the cost of a medium family for a year!

"Childe, shall we shout?" In the corner, the master and servant of the white-clothed boy were whispering.

"Don't shout!"

"Don't shout?!" his attendant didn't seem to understand his master's intentions.

"It's not time yet, so let them go!" he said, and walked away.

"Jin Gongzi!" A familiar voice came from behind him, and he turned back in surprise.

As soon as he turned around, a delicate figure arrived in an instant and threw himself into his arms.

"Ruoshui?" he was slightly stunned, and his hands held her weak shoulders, pulling her off of him.

"Jin Gongzi, are you going to leave again when you just come?" her eyes were full of resentment, making him a little unbearable.

"Then, let's sit down with you!"

"Well......" She immediately put on a smiling face and took his hand and went upstairs briskly.

On the other side, Mei Ji was greeting the man who had paid two hundred taels to buy wine with Pinyue - Zhao Qi!

"Zhao Ye is really generous!"

"This is a shame on your Mei Ji!" Zhao Qi said flatteringly, his big dark and rough hand kept holding Mei Ji's small hand and refused to let go.

"Zhao Ye, you are so good," she smiled coquettishly, and pulled out her hand to help him pour a cup of good Biluochun.

"Mei Ji, how does Zhao Ye treat you on weekdays?"

"Oops...... Do you still need to ask? Zhao Ye usually takes care of Mei Ji in every way, Mei Ji is grateful!" She flattered as she pondered the deep meaning of the sinister smile on the corner of his lips.

"Then, aren't you even willing to help with this little favor?" Zhao Qi said coldly, his big hand reached into his arms, and took out a white porcelain vase, the body of which was painted with delicate peonies.

Of course, Mei Ji knew what was in the bottle, but she hadn't forgotten the agreement she had made with Pinyue, and she promised to be responsible for her safety!

"Mei Ji, how many years have you been on this night fragrance?" Zhao Qi saw that she seemed to be hesitating, her expression was dark, and her expression became cold.

"It's been four years!" replied Mei Ji honestly.

"Are you tired of this business?"

"No, no, no, Zhao Ye, there are difficulties in this matter. Pin Yue is an assertive girl, she said that she only sells her art, not her body!" Mei Ji's face had turned to ashes.

"So I won't embarrass you. Zhao Qi's expression changed to a coaxing treacherous color again, "Put this in the tea bowl, as long as she takes it...... You don't have to worry about the rest!"

He snapped and put the white porcelain bottle in his hand into her palm, his eyes shining with an evil light.

Mei Ji shuddered from the room, and for a moment she couldn't make up her mind.

If she harms Pinyue, her nightshade can be saved, and her business will be much better in the future than before, but she will have to give up the fat of the Jin family - after all, how could a wealthy family like them marry an unchaste woman from a Qinglou?

However, the current situation did not allow her to think otherwise.

If he doesn't do what Zhao Ye said, his uncle is a second-class member of the imperial court, and as long as he is charged with one crime, the foundation she has worked so hard to manage will be ruined.

She was also born in a Qinglou, she has no children and no daughters, how will she spend the rest of her life? Who wants to provide for her in old age?

Coincidentally, a little girl walked past her with tea.

"Wait!" she called out to the girl, "who is this for?"

"It's for Sister Wakasui's guests. The little girl replied quickly.

"Ruoshui picked up a guest tonight?" she was a little surprised, that girl hadn't picked up a customer for a long time.

"No, it's Jin Gongzi who is here!"

"Jin Gongzi didn't leave, is he in the water room now?" This made her even more surprised, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her heart.

"Yes!"

"Give me this, you can go elsewhere!" Mei Ji took the tray from her hand and turned to leave.

"Mei Ji......" Zhao Qi appeared behind her like a ghost, "You don't want to go to someone for help, do you?"

"Uh...... How could it be? Zhao Ye, you really know how to laugh!" She turned back unnaturally.

"It's best!" Zhao Qi said coldly, took out the peony porcelain bottle from her hand, poured the red powder inside into the tea bowl, and shook it a few times before putting it down, "Give me this, you can also go about your own business!"

He forcibly took the tray, and his tone was not refusal.

Mei Ji froze as he walked briskly to the room at the end of the hallway.

Pin Yue is inside, she has no defense!

"Squeak", Pin Yue turned around and saw Zhao Qi who had bought her for two hundred taels of silver this night.

"You are Zhao Ye, please take a seat!" she greeted without humility or arrogance.

Zhao Qi calmly placed the tray on the table full of wine and food.

"Come, Miss Pinyue, I'll give you a drink!" he picked up the wine glass on the table and handed it to her.

"I'm sorry, Master Zhao, Pinyue doesn't know how to drink!" she hurriedly excused herself.

"Then won't my two hundred taels of silver be thrown away in vain?" he deliberately lowered his face, looking very displeased.

Pin Yue bowed her head silently.

"Well, then ask the girl to make a toast with tea instead of wine!" he handed over the bowl he had brought.

"Okay! Pin Yue also felt sorry for Zhao Ye, so she replaced the wine with tea and apologized to Zhao Ye, I will do it first as a respect!" she said briskly, raising the tea bowl to the tip of her nose, signaling and sending it back to her lips.

Drink it all!

Zhao Qi's eyes flashed with a hint of treachery that the conspiracy had succeeded.

"Well, it's refreshing!" he exclaimed, laughing heartily.
