Chapter 399 Asking for help
Mo Duo had been pouring himself a cup of tea, but when he heard this, he almost choked himself to death. He looked at Su Qingqing with a half-smile, "Why do you say that?"
Su Qingqing frowned and looked at him.
The two of them just faced each other in the dark with the electric light coming from the corridor. Su Qingqing raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't tell me you came here for Yingliu."
Mo Duo snorted coldly, said nothing, retracted his gaze and drank his tea, but his silence said it all.
Su Qingqing laughed, "I thought you would never see Yingliu again in this life."
Mo Duo opened his mouth, obviously wanting to say something, but hesitated, and then spoke again, his voice changed, "She followed you at the time, and you let her do this?"
Which one?
A brothel?
Yingliu, Fuyu and the others were all sent to Suihonglou by Su Qingqing , but none of them was chosen this path by Su Qingqing.
"I gave her a choice at the time. Either she could open a shop and be her own boss, or she could follow me to the battlefield and stay in the barracks. If she didn't like either, she could work in my house, or she could get married. She chose Broken Red Mansion herself. What's wrong with that?"
Mo Duo knew Ying Liu too well. She had a fierce temper and no one could change the choices she made, just like what happened back then.
Mo Duo stroked the teacup with his fingers. He did not respond to Su Qingqing's words, but just said: "I want to take her away."
Su Qingqing leaned back in her chair. "You came to knock on my window in the middle of the night just to say this?"
Mo Duo raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Qingqing, "You won't let him go?"
Su Qingqing shrugged, "They never belonged to me. They are free. I don't care what they do or where they go. As long as you can take her away, you couldn't take her away at first. So, do you think you can take her away now?"
Mo Duo's face turned cold.
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "If you have the ability to take her away, I will not say a word and will immediately give you a red envelope on the spot. But if Yingliu is unwilling to go with you, then she is mine, and I will not let you take her away by force."
Mo Duo was chilled, and after a long silence, his shoulders slumped, "I won't force her."
Su Qingqing said, "You'd better be."
Mo Duo raised his eyelids to look at Su Qingqing, who looked back at him, "Did you meet her at Hongxiu Tower? Can't stand it? You men are really interesting. If you hold her in your heart and cherish her, you should cherish her well. Why do you have to hurt her like that? Some injuries cannot be made up for or healed by time."
Mo Duo suddenly said: "She doesn't remember me."
Su Qingqing was stunned.
This was something she had not expected.
Who would not say it was awesome if they knew about the passionate love between Mo Duo and Ying Liu at that time?
"Are you sure?"
Mo Duo laughed bitterly at himself, "I hope more than anyone else that she is lying to me, but it is obviously not the case . She really... doesn't remember me."
Su Qingqing rubbed her fingers and said nothing.
This is the matter between Yingliu and Moduo. Su Qingqing knew very well how deeply Yingliu integrated Moduo into her own flesh and blood. However, she was an outsider and could not interfere in other people's feelings.
"I still say the same thing. If she wants to go with you, you can take her away. If she doesn't want to, I won't let anyone touch her at all."
Mo Duo suddenly laughed, "Won't anyone touch her at all? Do you know that she was almost... "
Su Qingqing knew what he was going to say, but interrupted him, "No, Yingliu has been in Shattered Red Mansion for so many years, and has dealt with thousands of men. She knows how to protect herself."
Mo Duo's face darkened. "Protect? In your opinion, protection means not going to the last step, right? Then it doesn't matter if she is kissed or touched by others during the process?"
Su Qingqing could not refute this and had no right to refute it.
Indeed, for a girl, this was already a sacrifice, and Yingliu's sacrifice was all for the purpose of exchanging information for her.
It is impossible to enjoy this sacrifice with peace of mind and take it for granted.
"What else? What should I do? Lord Mo, teach me? Like you did back then, throw her among the horse dealers?"
This is the only weak spot that has bothered Moduo in all these years.
No one could mention it, not even anyone could mention the word "horse dealer" in front of him. If anyone mentioned it, grass would grow on the grave of the person who said it.
But the person who said this now was Su Qingqing.
It was Su Qingqing who rescued Yingliu from the horse dealer.
He could not refute, so he just bit the inner wall of his mouth, biting the tender flesh, and having a mouthful of blood. Then Mo Duohuo stood up, turned around and walked out.
Su Qingqing didn't stop him either.
Just when Mo Duo was about to turn over and jump out of the window, he suddenly paused and looked back at Su Qingqing, "Are you here for food this time?"
Su Qingqing sat there, leaning back in her chair and smiling at him, "Wasn't it obvious enough?"
Mo Duo glanced at Su Qingqing's big belly and said, "Is Rong Que going to be a gigolo? You have to come out to solve all the problems with your big belly, while he is hiding behind you like a turtle?"
Su Qingqing ignored his words and only said something dirty to him, "If you can give me a gigolo, I will hide behind you and be a turtle."
Mo Duo sneered and said, "Let's start with the Ji family." Then he turned around and left.
As soon as Mo Duo left, Su Qingqing took a deep breath and sat in the chair without moving.
She could never have expected that on this night in Yulin, she would meet an old friend under such circumstances.
Su Qingqing frowned when she thought of the fleeting blush on Yingliu's cheek when she mentioned that Xiao Yu would also come with her in Suihonglou.
Has Yingliu really completely forgotten Moduo?
Is she going with Murdo?
Or choose...Xiao Yu.
Su Qingqing couldn't guess Yingliu's choice, but she guessed why Moduo appeared here.
A private residence in the west of Yulin City.
The courtyard with two entrances and two exits was quiet. If someone had a keen eye, they would have noticed that there were many secret sentries around this unremarkable small courtyard.
Mo Duo sat in the room that served as a study with a look of surprise on his face. Four or five people stood in front of him. "Did you catch the person?"
The four or five people shook their heads in unison. "Bai Er disappeared without a trace. When we went to check according to the clues we received, there was no trace of him at all. But we heard that a girl came to Hongxiu Tower today. She is Bai Er's daughter. Maybe we can use her as bait."
Moduo was stunned for a moment.
Is Yingliu's identity in Hongxiu Tower the daughter of Bai Er?
So, Su Qingqing came to Yulin for Bai Er? Su Qingqing already knew that Bai Er was in Yulin?
Why was she running after Bai Er?
Is it simply for the matter of Duke Xue or simply for the matter of food, or is it that Su Qingqing knows about the affairs of Da Qi?
Mo Duo was unsure for a moment. Seeing that it was already bright, Mo Duo waved his hand and said, "I will personally keep an eye on Hongxiu Tower. You continue to track down Bai Er."
