Chapter 463 My money is your money

Gu Qingyue nodded nonchalantly, looking carefree. "Do you need to borrow money? No need. This young master will provide food and lodging, how about that?"

"That `s a deal!"

She left in a hurry and didn't have a single tael of silver on her. If this young master Ye didn't take care of her, she would starve.

Since Young Master Ye promised to provide her with food and lodging, that's perfect!

Princess Lianye tilted her head, looking satisfied.

Gu Qingyue flicked her sleeves casually, "Of course! I'll have to trouble you to lead the way, young lady!"

The two of them made a hasty decision about their next itinerary.

It can be said that Princess Lianye was quite carefree.

She appeared before Gu Qingyue in such a strange way, but Gu Qingyue never asked about her origins.

Moreover, after Gu Qingyue said just a few words, Princess Lianye decided to go to Songzhou with her to find the Holy Maiden. She didn't find anything wrong with it and immediately believed Gu Qingyue.

It really is... incredibly naive.

But for Gu Qingyue, everything was perfect. Now, it was up to Mu Yun Chu to make arrangements.

The next morning, Mu Yun Chu came to the inn to find Gu Qing Yue and invited her to lunch at Pin Guan Tea House.

Gu Qingyue immediately understood what was going on.

To show her sincerity, Gu Qingyue did not change her appearance again under the mask.

Gu Qingyue wore a light purple robe, held a folding fan, and had her mask polished to a shine. She walked with light steps and looked very dashing.

He even possessed a more youthful and dashing air than Mu Yun Chu.

Mu Yun Chu looked at Gu Qing Yue as she walked out of the house with amusement, and his heart was filled with even more joy.

He loved Gu Qingyue's confident and carefree spirit. Whether she was dressed as a charming woman or exuded youthful vigor, she could portray it perfectly, making people happy!

Inside the carriage, Mu Yun Chu gently held Gu Qing Yue's delicate fingers and stroked them. They were smooth and soft, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

Gu Qingyue took in that tenderness, her heart stirred, and she returned a sweet smile, a gentle and affectionate atmosphere spreading throughout the carriage.

The two sat quietly for a while, but Gu Qingyue couldn't withstand Mu Yun Chu's deep and gentle gaze and broke the silence, "How did you and Qin Fang meet?"

"We met near Qihe Town. I was being chased by Prince Jing's men, while Qin Fang was being chased by his elder brother's men. We bumped into each other in Meigu Mountain..."

Mu Yun Chu squeezed Gu Qing Yue's hand and slowly began to tell her story.

After she finished speaking, Gu Qingyue was speechless.

Isn't this just a story of two poor souls finding warmth in each other?

Oh, how awful!

Seeing Gu Qingyue's somewhat speechless and strange expression, Mu Yun Chu smiled gently. He reached out and pulled Gu Qingyue into his arms, stroking her slender back with an expression of indescribable tenderness and doting.

"Just remember that Qin Fang is a trustworthy person."

Gu Qingyue nodded, understanding.

The two men resumed their serious demeanor once the carriage stopped in front of the Pin Guan Tea House.

Qin Fang was already waiting at the gate.

As soon as they got off the carriage, Qin Fang walked over, looked at the two of them, and remained calm, polite, and respectful.

"Your Highness Prince Li! Brother Ye, it is an honor to have such distinguished guests at our door."

This is?

Gu Qingyue couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. So they're already putting on an act?

He seems genuinely not very familiar with King Le, what great acting!

Mu Yun Chu and Gu Qing Yue nodded naturally and politely, and were invited into the teahouse.

The teahouse was packed on the first floor as usual at noon today.

Qin Fang, just like an ordinary teahouse owner, respectfully invited the two to a private room on the top floor.

The atmosphere changed abruptly as soon as I entered.

Qin Fang strode over to Mu Yun Chu and asked, "Is this the friend you said you were going to introduce to me? Are you kidding me?"

Gu Qingyue's lips twitched.

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Gu Qingyue, who was wearing a mask, and said, "Brother Ye, how could you get involved with this ice block?"

'Cough cough cough-----' Gu Qingyue really couldn't hold back.

Mu Yun Chu pushed him away in an annoyed tone, "Of course I know you know each other, but it won't hurt to get to know each other again."

Qin Fang turned to look at Gu Qingyue suspiciously, "Are you really good friends with this guy?"

Gu Qingyue covered her lips with her hand, a little embarrassed. "Not just good friends, cough cough... I'm here today as a businesswoman. How about we talk about a collaboration?"

Qin Fang gave a light rebuke, her eyes widening in disbelief. "Since you're already his good friend, why are you doing business? You could live a life of luxury with him, with money, status, and power. Wouldn't that be so much better and easier?"

Gu Qingyue stared calmly at the man with the air of a spoiled brat. "He is him, so why shouldn't I do business with him?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Fang flicked his moon-white robe sleeves and leaned against the couch beside him. "Don't you know how rich he is? He couldn't spend all his money in several lifetimes!"

After saying that, he beckoned to Gu Qingyue with his finger and lowered his voice, "As long as you say a few nice words, are a little submissive, and fawn over him, even if he just lets his finger slip a little bit, that's enough for you to live a life of ease and comfort!"

After saying that, he winked at Mu Yun Chu.

Gu Qingyue raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked at Mu Yun Chu. Could it be that what this guy said was true?

Is Mu Yun Chu the real big shot with real money?

Ever since the two of them started 'talking nonsense'—or, in his eyes, Qin Fang was just spouting off again—Mu Yun Chu simply sat down and poured himself some tea.

Sensing Gu Qingyue's teasing gaze, he raised his hand, "A-Yue, come here."

His tone was so gentle it could melt hearts.

Qin Fang was startled!

This guy must be possessed by a ghost!

But who? Who is Mu Yun Chu called? Is Brother Ye called A Yue?

But why does this tone of voice give me the creeps?

Gu Qingyue chuckled and walked to Mu Yun Chu's side, looking him up and down. Her smile became even more cunning, and upon closer inspection, it even had a hint of flattery.

"Hey bro, I heard you're really rich? Come on, tell me how you make your money?"

Gu Qingyue really didn't know that Mu Yun Chu was so rich!

She thought that being rich meant the wealth that came with being a prince, which was certainly incomparable to the vast wealth of the Qin family, the richest family in the world.

Qin Fang's words made it seem as if Mu Yun Chu was really, really rich.

Could it be that I've accidentally hooked up with the richest man in the Great Chu?

Stop! We've gone off-topic.

However, she really wanted to know how this guy got his money; she wanted to make money too.

'Hehe-----' Mu Yun Chu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He reached out and pulled Gu Qingyue's hand, making her sit next to him. "My money is your money. You can have it all, as long as you like it."

Thump— Someone bumped into something hard; it sounded painful.

The two turned around and saw Qin Fang rubbing his forehead repeatedly.

He bumped his head on the armrest of the tatami mat.
