Chapter 73 - Commander, Mo Qing (1/2)

After school, Shen Yue walked up to Shen Miao and said with a smile, “Miss Yi invited me and Eldest Sister to her house today, so I won’t go back with you. Fifth Sister, you can go back first.”

Yi Peilan and Shen Yue were close to each other, and they often hung out without Shen Miao. Hearing that, Shen Miao did not react much and only nodded.

Over the past few days, the Shen family had been treating Shen Miao very warmly. It was obvious that they were planning something against, but Shen Miao couldn’t be bothered with them.

桂花坊On the way back, they passed by the most prosperous street in the capital. Gu Yu said, “There’s a pastry shop ahead. Don’t you like the pastries the most? I’ll go buy some.”

“Go,” Shen Miao said with a smile.

After Gu Yu got out of the car, Jingzhe lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. When she saw something, she let out a cry of surprise. Shen Miao followed her gaze and saw a pawn shop beside the pastry shop. At this moment, there were many people around, seemingly arguing about something.

The pawnshop assistant seemed to be a little impatient. His voice was so loud that even Shen Miao could hear him clearly. “I said ten taels of silver. It’s up to you if you want to sell it or not! It’s just a sword. Don’t make things difficult for us.”

“I think they have a business dispute,” Jingzhe said.

The people in the pawnshop would naturally lower the price. Obviously, this was an unacceptable price for the person who came to pawn things, but they were unwilling to leave.

“There’s nothing to see.” Seeing that Shen Miao looked away, Jingzhe lowered the curtain. A moment later, Gu Yu came back with two big paper bags. Jingzhe pulled open the curtain and let her in. The moment she pulled open the curtain, Shen Miao’s gaze landed outside the carriage. She saw the person who was arguing with the shop assistant turn around and walk out of the crowd. He was still holding a sword in his hand. Probably because he did not manage to sell his item, he looked a little disappointed.

After Gu Yu got into the carriage, she was about to close the curtains when Shen Miao stopped her. She stared at the person holding the sword carefully. It was a young man who looked ordinary. Seeing that their miss was staring at the strange man, Gu Yu and Jingzhe were confused.

Shen Miao frowned. Why did this person look so familiar?

The young man shook his head and sighed. He looked at the sword in his arms and gritted his teeth. He turned around and walked towards the pawnshop again, as if he was finally going to make a decision to make that deal that he was not too satisfied with.

“Gu Yu!” The moment he turned around, Shen Miao suddenly shouted, “Go down and stop him. Tell him that I want his sword!”

“Miss…” Jingzhe and Gu Yu looked at her in surprise, not knowing why Shen Miao was doing this.

“Quick!” Shen Miao said coldly.

Seeing her serious expression, Gu Yu did not dare to ask further. She immediately jumped out of the car and walked towards the young man.

As soon as the young man took a step forward, he heard someone behind him say, “Mister, wait.”

He turned around and saw a woman who looked like a maid smiling at him and saying, “Mister, are you going to sell the sword in your hand?”

The young man was stunned for a moment before saying without hiding anything, “That’s right.”

The woman continued, “Coincidentally, my Miss wants this sword in your hand. Mister, are you willing to sell it to us?”
