Chapter 398: Chapter 398: To Have Such a Dream (3)_1

Mo Heng’s mouth curved slightly upward, "So, could you lend me some silver taels?"

Pei Qin’s face immediately darkened, "How much do you want to borrow?" Damn it, you’re about to leave, and we’ll likely never see each other again, yet you’re coming to me for a loan, with no intention of paying it back!

Mo Heng thought for a moment, "Three hundred taels!"

Pei Qin’s face turned completely black in an instant, "You damn want to borrow three hundred taels from me when you’re leaving? Do you think my money falls from the sky!? Not a chance! I don’t have a single hair of it!" Originally, she had considered being a good person and sponsoring him with ten or twenty taels, but now she wouldn’t give a strand!

Mo Heng looked at her with an explosive temper and slowly smiled, "Then, two hundred taels?"

"Don’t expect a single hair!" Pei Qin roared, "You damn well aren’t really short on money; it’s just a wave of a hand for you to get some! What’s this? After eating mine, drinking mine, living at my place, you want to scam me on your way out, really think I’m an idiot!?"

Mo Heng still looked at her with a smile.

"What the hell are you smiling about? You think you’re amazing just because you look good when you smile!? You think I’m a rich lady that can be scammed with just a smile!?" Pei Qin glared at him fiercely without any good air.

Mo Heng put away his smile, his clear, pitch-black eyes still fixed on her.

Pei Qin stood with her hands on her hips, getting angry for a while, giving him a glare, getting angry. She paced back and forth twice, glanced at him again, and got even angrier, "Only twenty taels, not a tael more! Take it or leave it!"

"Too little," Mo Heng frowned slightly.

Pei Qin marched over aggressively, hands on her hips, "What do you want, to blackmail me on your departure? You think twenty taels is too little? I’ve been supporting you for two years, did you think you were selling yourself!?"

"If I were to sell myself, you wouldn’t dare to buy," Mo Heng’s eyes were deep as he looked at her.

Pei Qin laughed as she sized him up, "If you really were selling yourself, I might actually buy you!"

Mo Heng looked at her, his gaze growing deeper.

Pei Qin approached with a mischievous smile on her face, speaking harshly, "And then I’d sell you off to a brothel! I’d make a fortune!"

Mo Heng turned and walked away.

"Angry?" Pei Qin raised an eyebrow, heh-hehing with a furious chuckle, "But come to think of it, damn, I really did support him for two years! The more I think about it, the more I feel ripped off!"

Lu Hai stood aside like an invisible man, listening to her grind her teeth as if she had provided for Mo Heng, and couldn’t help but let out a sigh, lowering his head. This stunningly brilliant Young Master Mo Jiu became... someone to be sold, in front of Pei Qin. If she knew that he had frivolously touched her, who knows what she would do.

"Damn it! Forgot to ask when he’s leaving!" Pei Qin rolled her eyes skyward.

When Pei Wendong and Chang Yonglin finished their studies and came back for dinner, Pei Qin sent the two off to find Mo Heng. He was leaving, and wouldn’t be able to tutor them anymore, but he could still give them advice on which books to read next; a list of books scholars should study in advance would help them aim to become more scholarly.

However, when the two returned, Mo Heng hadn’t given any advice on which books to read, saying that when he left, he would give them the books as gifts.

To prepare for the imperial examinations, they had to study a great many books, not just "The Four Books and Five Classics." Give them books when he’s leaving!? Pei Qin curled her lips and snorted, "Thinking of extorting money from me before you leave, yet you’ll have money to give books!?" She instructed them to keep asking.

Mo Heng simply wouldn’t tell, only teaching the boys, and not delving into advanced topics—mostly what they were already learning or about to encounter.

Pei Qin was furious. That guy was obviously about to leave, and, driven by her anger, she confronted him, "I’ve supported you for two years, and now that you’re leaving, you can’t even recommend a few books? What are you trying to do? Changed your mind about leaving?"

"I’ve taught almost two years as well," Mo Heng was organizing the manuscripts on the table.

Pei Qin was momentarily speechless, then changed her approach, "Yes! You’ve taught for nearly two years, there must be some affection, right!? You’re leaving, aren’t you going to leave something that will benefit your students for life?"
