Chapter 581 Too late to regret
At Baisha Painting Studio in Huowa Lane, Dai Qingrou, a graceful girl in her thirties, got off the carriage.
After seeing the elegant decoration of the painting studio, I felt my body go limp.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down.
He turned his head and looked towards Guichun Medical Clinic at the end of his sight, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Finally, she straightened her back and walked in.

Since it was morning, there were not many people in the studio.
There were only some young and handsome painters mixing paints, preparing for a busy day.

The waiter at the door saw her coming and hurriedly greeted her and asked softly:
"Excuse me, madam, which painter are you looking for?"

"New painter Joe."

"Come with me."

The waiter took Dai Qingrou around the painting studio.
After passing an antique courtyard, we stopped at the door of a house.

"Painter Qiao is inside, please come in, ma'am."

"Ah."

When she arrived here, Dai Qingrou's breathing became a little rapid, and a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes.

But in the end, he pursed his lips and walked in.

The furnishings in the house are very simple, just like an ordinary house, with tables, chairs and benches.

The only thing that attracted attention was a huge drawing board in the middle of the house, with a piece of rice paper spread on it.

A dark-skinned young man in black clothes was adjusting the colors with a palette, looking thoughtful from time to time.

Hearing the footsteps, the young man in black turned around.

Seeing that it was Dai Qingrou, his eyes lit up and he greeted her with a smile:

"It's Mrs. Dai, please take a seat.
Have you thought about it? Do you want to draw a pornographic picture?"

Listening to his straightforward words,
Dai Qingrou's breathing became more rapid, her cheeks flushed, and her neck stiffened:
"I didn't agree yesterday, but you still drew it, didn't you?"

Dai Qingrou looked carefully at the young man in front of her.

He was in his twenties, and not as handsome as those painters out there.

But there was a feeling that Dai Qingrou couldn't describe.

I always feel that the person in front of me is solid and reliable.

Especially when I think of his muscles that are as hard as steel,

Dai Qingrou felt her body becoming more and more numb.

Noticing that he was being watched, the young man smiled awkwardly:
"Mrs. Dai, I just came to Yingtian from the countryside, and I have never seen a woman as beautiful as you.
I was impulsive yesterday, please forgive me, Mrs. Dai.
Qiao Jun is already very grateful that you didn't report it to the police."

"Humph, seeing how calm you are, you are sure that I won't report it to the police."

Dai Qingrou's voice was melodious and sweet, echoing in the house like a lark.

"Love between men and women is human nature. Wasn't Mrs. Dai happy yesterday?"

Dai Qingrou's breathing became more rapid. For some reason,

The Qiao Jun in front of him was very rude and even a little offensive.

But she was not angry at all, instead she felt a little expectant.

It's like the anticipation of tasting the forbidden fruit for the first time.

At this time, Qiao Jun walked to a cabinet nearby, took out a small wooden box, and quickly walked to Dai Qingrou and put it down.

"what is this?"

Dai Qingrou's cheeks turned even redder, and she couldn't help but imagine what this was, wondering if it was some kind of toy.

Qiao Jun's face was solemn and his voice was sonorous and powerful:
"Mrs. Dai, this is the money I earned last month, a total of one ounce and eight cents. I give it all to you."

"Give me?"

Dai Qingrou's voice was full of suspicion as she stared blankly at the small box in front of her.

A strange feeling filled my heart.

It had been so many years, she couldn't even remember how many years, that no one had given her money.

Dai Qingrou opened the box, and inside were several neatly folded banknotes and a few loose silver coins.

For her, this amount of money may not be enough for her to spend a day.
But she just felt the love she had never felt in many years.

"What do you want me to do?"

Dai Qingrou's voice has become gentle, and her eyes are full of tenderness.

"Madam, I followed my master to learn skills in the mountains.

He told me that if I meet a woman I like, I should give her the best of myself.

This money is the best thing I have now.

Madam Dai, when I make money in the future, or become a court painter, I will marry you in style.”

The boy's voice was extremely sincere, without any hint of evil intent.

Just like the rudeness of yesterday, there was only pure lust.

Dai Qingrou stared at him blankly.
She couldn't imagine that the person today was the same person as yesterday.

How can one person have two completely different faces?
"Maybe. This is. Innocence?"

Dai Qingrou took a deep breath and put the box down.

"I took the money.
But not to accept your kindness, but to apologize for your rudeness yesterday."

Qiao Jun stood in front of her, looking down at her.
Seeing a faint sweet smile on her face, a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Qiao Jun spoke, his voice still innocent:

"Then Mrs. Dai, can we paint now?"

Mrs. Dai sat upright with her legs together.
Qiao Jun stepped over his legs and looked down at her.

Dai Qingrou's breathing became more and more rapid, her hands were covered with fine beads of sweat, and she smelled the youthful scent blowing towards her.
She looked at the still open door and dodged a little:

"Close the door."

"No, it's morning now, no one will come."

Xie Yun, as always, dressed up as a rice cake vendor.

Walking around the North Gate,

This has always been his "business".
This is also the reason why he has been feeling resentful and unable to get promoted.

I sell rice cakes here all day, but I don't make much money and I'm exhausted.
More importantly, how can you get promoted without any outstanding achievements?

If I can't get promoted, I can't leave here.

For Xie Yun, it was a vicious cycle.

Today, Xie Yun is busy as always.
But he was a little absent-minded and often gave rice cakes to the wrong customers.

"Boss, what happened today? You took the wrong one again!"

"Sorry sorry."

Xie Yun apologized with a smile. Whenever this happened,

It takes him a long time to calm down.

He was a member of the Jinyiwei, had great power, and his wife was extremely wealthy.

But we have to be humble to these people all day long, which is simply crazy!

That’s right, Xie Yun felt that if he stayed here any longer, he would really go crazy.

Moreover, he also knew that
This kind of depressing environment can cause a person's temperament to change drastically, such as beating and scolding his beloved wife at home.

He regretted it since he left home to set up the stall.
This is the mental journey he goes through almost every time he takes action.

"I can be humble to the people in front of me, how can I use force against my own wife?"

Xie Yun often spurred himself on like this.

But he had no choice, because only in this way could he feel the power of a captain of the Imperial Guard.

He kept struggling, regretting, taking action, struggling, and regretting again.

Xie Yun sat behind the stall.
Feeling the scorching sun above my head, I feel a little hopeless.

He thought about his plan to get promoted and make money.

As long as Zhu Jinyu is in his hands, he can obtain intelligence information endlessly.

But on the other hand, he sighed again.
It's obvious at first glance that Sheng Yangshu is not someone who can accomplish anything.

Finally, he thought of the tense atmosphere in Beijing in recent days and scratched his head in annoyance.

"No, things are so tense recently.

If Lu Yunyi finds out, it will be all over.

Not to mention promotion, even your life is uncertain."

The more Xie Yun thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Finally, after struggling for a quarter of an hour,
He stood up suddenly, covered the rice cake with the curtain, pushed the cart away!
This action startled Chen Jingyi, who was leaning against a tree not far away pretending to be a laborer.
He straightened up suddenly, with doubt in his eyes.

What happened? Exposed?

At this time, two people came over:

"Sir, do you want to follow?"

"Nonsense! Even if he is exposed, we have to follow him. Even if we have to tie him up, we have to take him to the painting studio!"

Chen Jingyi made a decision quickly, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Is the painting studio ready?"

"It's all arranged. There are more than a dozen brothers."

Chen Jingyi's eyebrows were throbbing wildly.
"so much?"

"When we heard there was a 'good thing', the brothers all rushed to come!"

"Won't it be discovered?"

"How can you be discovered with your eyes covered?"

Chen Jingyi didn't know how to express his feelings and scratched his head hard.

After thinking about it, he felt that at his age,
It's still a little difficult to accept this kind of thing.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and follow him. Don't let him get away."

"Yes!"

Xie Yun put the stall back in the yard and went into the house to dress up.
Soon he turned back into Lord Xie, a captain of the Imperial Guard who held power.

He took a deep breath, bought some gifts,

I decided to go home and have a good talk with my wife and apologize.

I also plan to stop the Guichun Clinic.
These days he has been having a bad feeling that something is going to happen.

With mixed feelings, Xie Yun quickly rushed back home, only to learn that his wife had already gone out.

This made him stand there in a daze, and he asked the concierge:

"When did he leave?" "Just after you."

"Where did you go?"

"It seems to be a painting studio, in Huowa Lane."

Xie Yun recalled carefully,
There is indeed a painting studio in Huowa Lane, which specializes in painting for wealthy families.

Without thinking much about it, he nodded and rode over.

Chen Jingyi, who had been following behind him, saw him heading towards Huowa Lane and his face became more serious:

"What happened? Did he notice?"

Several people around him shook their heads. At least they didn't notice any signs of being discovered.

Chen Jingyi thought about it and felt that it was unlikely to be discovered.
He waved his hand, signaling everyone to follow.

Xie Yun soon arrived at Baisha Painting Studio.
Among the many carriages, the Dai Mansion's carriage was recognized at a glance.

A hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he coughed lightly.
Even tidied up his clothes.
After taking a look at Guichun Medical Clinic at the end of his sight, he walked in resolutely.

He has decided to take a day off today.
Spend more time with your wife as an apology.

When he entered the painting studio and explained his purpose, the waiter took him to the back hall.

They walked the same path that Dai Qingrou had walked in the morning.

"It's in the room at the end, please go over there, sir." As the waiter reminded.

Xie Yun straightened his back, holding the daffodils in his hand and the gift, and walked over resolutely.

But as he got closer, the rich scent of the daffodils in his hand made him inexplicably irritated.

The weight of the gift seemed to increase suddenly, causing his wrist to ache.

Xie Yun frowned. An inexplicable palpitation made him feel weird, as if he heard some strange sound.

As we got closer, the strange noises became clearer.

Xie Yun's face suddenly turned extremely dark!

The warmth in his eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant!
He pinched the roots of the daffodils hard and broke them!

Intertwined breathing, vague laughter,

Like a sharp needle, it pricked his nerves again and again.

His steps slowed down unconsciously.

His brows were twisted into a knot and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to burst through his chest.

"What is this sound?"

The door was wide open, and the sounds from inside became clearer.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

But his trembling hands revealed his extreme inner nervousness.

Suddenly, he smelled an ambiguous scent.

Xie Yun couldn't bear it any longer, roared through his teeth, and stepped in.

The scene before him instantly turned his world upside down.

Inside the room, Dai Qingrou was half lying on the couch, her hair spread out like a tangled mess.

Her eyes were covered with a black ribbon, and she was unaware of the incident.
He was still mumbling some blushing words.

In Xie Yun's eyes,
Like a sharp dagger, it pierced straight into his heart.

But that’s not all, he met more than a dozen pairs of eyes filled with sneers and sarcasm.

Even the knowledgeable Xie Yun had never seen such a scene.

The room was in a mess, with clothes and paintbrushes scattered all over the floor.

The air was filled with a sickening scent.

Xie Yun felt dizzy.

The daffodils and gifts in my hands fell to the ground with a rustle.
The flower petals fell to the ground and turned into mud, and the exquisite jade pendant was smashed to pieces.

Xie Yun's face turned as pale as paper in an instant, his lips were bloodless and trembling slightly, but he could not utter a sound.

It was as if everything before my eyes was a nightmare.

He tried desperately to wake up, but he was unable to do so.

"Dai Qingrou, what are you doing!"

Xie Yun squeezed out this cry from his dry throat, his voice filled with anger and disbelief.

However, Dai Qingrou was immersed in her own world and turned a deaf ear to the call.

"Xiao Rou!!!"

Xie Yun let out a roar!

In the chaos, Dai Qingrou finally realized that something was wrong, and she hurriedly pulled off her blindfold.

His eyes met those that seemed to be spewing fire.

Her eyes widened instantly, full of disbelief.

"What are you doing?"

Her lips trembled as she tried to say something.
But it was stuck in the throat and no sound could come out.

Then, she glanced towards the house.
The expression on his face changed from shock to fear and panic, and finally became distorted! !

The body began to shake violently and uncontrollably.

"What's going on?"

She finally squeezed out a few words from between her teeth, her voice full of disbelief.

She looked at the unfamiliar man in front of her, and her brain felt like it was hit by a heavy object.

"Who are you?"

Dai Qingrou quickly scanned the room and soon saw Qiao Jun standing beside her.

As if he understood something, he looked at the black ribbon again.
His expression gradually twisted!!
"You, what are you doing?"

Qiao Jun changed his usual respectful and humble demeanor and put on a cold smile.

He raised his hand slowly and waved.

In an instant, several burly men rushed towards Xie Yun like hungry wolves and easily pinned him to the ground.

Xie Yun struggled desperately, roaring and kicking his legs.

He waved his hands vigorously, trying to break free from the restraints.

"Let me go, you bastards!"

"I am an official appointed by the imperial court!!"

His voice was distorted with anger and echoed in the small room.

Dai Qingrou's eyes widened when she saw this, she couldn't believe that Qiao Jun dared to do such a thing.

Her voice was filled with tears:

"Are you crazy? What are you doing?"

"Who are they? Who are you? What do you want?"

Dai Qingrou was somewhat incoherent, and her face became increasingly pale.

She suddenly remembered yesterday and asked quickly:

"Yesterday. Yesterday?"

Qiao Jun just smiled faintly:

"I don't know whose seed it is."

"what--"

Dai Qingrou's eyes were suddenly filled with bloodshot.

Qiao Jun walked forward calmly, stretched out his hand and gently patted Dai Qingrou's face.

The action seemed intimate, but it made Dai Qingrou feel a chill.

"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing."

Dai Qingrou curled up in the corner of the bed, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes, what did it mean?

At this moment, a voice full of teasing and ridicule came from outside the door.

The group turned their eyes over there.

I saw a tall, handsome figure with a sneer on his face.
He walked in with a "tsk tsk tsk" and shook his head at the scene in front of him.

"what is this?"

"As expected, I am still too corrupt. I never thought there would be such a method."

"Chen Jingyi, you old man, you are not serious."

Chen Jingyi also walked in and was also shocked when he saw the scene.

"This is amazing."

"Lu Yunyi!!!"

Dai Qingrou's shrill voice came,

Her hair was disheveled, and the hot sweat on her face had turned into cold sweat.

She understood, she knew why it turned out like this.

Xie Yun, who was pressed to the ground, felt like he was falling into an icy cave. He also understood.

He knew why all this happened.

Lu Yunyi put his hands behind his back and looked at the two of them, his eyes full of confusion:
"A wealthy businessman and a royal guard,

They are all smart people, how could they come up with such a clumsy plan.

Moreover, they found such a loser to do the job."

"Bring people in!"

Soon, Sheng Yangshu was dragged in like a dead dog.

All three legs and both arms were broken, and now shit and urine were flowing out.

Seeing him, Dai Qingrou and Xie Yun no longer had any hope in their hearts and their faces turned pale.

Seeing that they were all silent, Lu Yunyi was a little confused:

"Hey~ Why are you guys silent? Don't you have anything to argue about?"

The three of them remained silent. Lu Yunyi hissed and said jokingly:
"How about this, I'll take you to the Jinyiwei Yamen and let Mao Xiang talk to you."
