Chapter 351: Chapter 351 The Dying Man (7)_1

She hadn’t thought about this a few days ago; those people must have already come and were certainly investigating. By keeping the two Little Radishes at home, even if they really went after the blind man and his servant, the lives of the pair wouldn’t be in much danger. Now, she could only pray that they hadn’t yet found Blind Man Mo’s hiding place or discovered that the two Little Radishes were learning martial arts.

The two of them settled down in Taiping Town, staying at the largest Yue Sheng Tavern while they waited for a response from Mo Heng and investigated Pei Qin.

Pei Qin was transparent and had nothing to hide, leading an ordinary life and running her stall as usual.

But those two quickly approached Pei Qin.

"I won’t go!" Pei Qin refused to talk to them arrogantly. But the next moment, she caved in. She wasn’t a lone wolf; she had a family to care for!

This time, it wasn’t the older one who spoke, but the younger one, who looked Pei Qin up and down with interest, quite directly. Despite her slender frame, she was all sinew, and although she had a delicate appearance, the aura and spirit in her brows actually made her stand out, which was somewhat interesting.

Pei Qin also impolitely sized him up—a man with narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes, vermilion lips, white teeth, handsome features, but an indulgent, unrestrained air, and those eyes of his... Pei Qin silently recalled a very high-class profession: male prostitute. She couldn’t help but curve her brows and eyes, and her tone improved quite a bit, "What else do you want?"

"How did you come to know Shen Songming of the Shen family?" Ji Bingchu asked, looking at her.

"If I don’t tell you, will you kill someone?" Pei Qin countered.

Ji Bingchu shook his head, "Of course not."

"Then who I’ve gotten to know is none of your damn business!" Pei Qin responded rudely.

Ji Bingchu’s expression froze for a second, with the corners of his mouth hooked, his smile deepening, "The Shen Family is an aristocratic family known for their education and propriety for generations. I didn’t expect him to like this sort... His taste is quite unique!"

Pei Qin gave him a dismissive look, uninterested in explaining, "Since you’re not here to silence me, what exactly do you want?" Either way, she didn’t know anything about Blind Man Mo. All she knew was that his name was Mo Jiu, which certainly wasn’t his real name.

"No hurry! Just want to ask you about somebody!" Ji Bingchu said with a smile.

Pei Qin raised an eyebrow.

As expected, Ji Bingchu brought up Mo Heng, "...a handsome young master who is blind."

"Never heard of him." Pei Qin blatantly lied.

She really dared to say it! After all, Mo Heng was staying right in her workshop at home. Ji Bingchu glanced at the man beside him, watching Pei Qin with a smile full of amusement, as if lying was as natural as eating or drinking, "He’s staying in your workshop at home, and you’ve never heard of him?"

Knowing she couldn’t hide it any longer, Pei Qin frowned, "He’s already fled for his life. You have many people, and your martial arts are strong; you could catch up to him! Why don’t you go after him?" She betrayed him without hesitation.

Ji Bingchu looked at her for a while, then erupted into loud laughter. Mo Jiu had even traded the mine to save her, what a loss!

Pei Qin waited for him to finish laughing, staring at the two with a dark expression.

Ji Bingchu rubbed his belly, still laughing as he said to Pei Qin, "I want to buy your soy sauce!"

"Not selling!" Pei Qin replied coldly.

"Turning down business that comes to your door?" Ji Bingchu asked, his smile roguish as he raised his eyebrow.

"My business, my choice," Pei Qin rolled her eyes at him. Enough with the small talk! She really didn’t know, and she had no desire to deal with these dangerous, high-ranking characters.

Ji Bingchu nodded in approval, "You’ve got spunk! I like your attitude!"

"Sorry to disappoint, but I’ll change it as soon as I get back," Pei Qin immediately smiled back at him.

Ji Bingchu laughed again, then his expression became serious, "We really are here to buy soy sauce! How much for fifty jin in five jars?"
