Chapter 57|Officer Mo Qing

After class, Shen Yue walked to Shen Lisa and smiled as she said, "Today Young Lady Yi has invited Eldest Sister and me to her residence, so we will not be heading back with you. Fifth Younger Sister, you should go back first."

Yi Pei Lan and Shen Yue were naturally close with one another and would often send an invitation to them but excluded only Shen Lisa. It was so common that it was nothing out of the ordinary. Hearing that, Shen Lisa did not have any reaction and only made a sound of agreement.

These recent days the Shen family's attitude towards Shen Lisa was extremely warm and lively, most likely because they already had a play in mind. Shen Lisa was also too lazy to care about them now that there were matters of vital importance and naturally not these kind of trivial stuffs.

Upon returning in the horse carriage, it must pass through the most prosperous street of Ding capital. Gu Yu said, "Gui Hua Fang is in front. Does not Young Lady like the pastry from there the best? This servant will go and buy some back."

"Go then." Shen Lisa said with a smile.

After Gu Yu got off the carriage, Jing Zhe opened the carriage's curtain to look out and made a sound of surprise after looking at a certain area. Shen Lisa looked towards the direction of her gaze and saw that the horse carriage stopped at the side of Gui Hua Fang, in front of a pawn shop. At the moment there was a crowd of people who seemed to be arguing about something.

The worker from the pawn shop show signs of impatience and even his voice could be heard clearly by Shen Lisa, "I Already said that it will be twelve Liang, if you want to sell or not! It is just a sword, this gentleman better not trouble us."

"It seems that Shopkeeper Yu is not able to do business." Jing Zhe said.

Shen Lisa had seen it through. A pawn shop was a business and naturally it would push the price down a little and obviously this would make the person who came to pawn their items, unable to accept the prices but still unwilling to leave. Thus turning into a deadlock situation.

"There is nothing worth to look at." Seeing that Shen Lisa's gaze moved, Jing Zhe put the curtain down. After a short moment, Gu Yu carried a large paper bag back and Jing Zhe opened the curtain to let her in. During the short time during the opening of the curtain, Shen Lisa's gaze landed outside the carriage and saw that the person who was arguing with the pawn shop's worker, turned around and walked out from the crowd and he had a sword in his arms. Most likely he did not make the transaction and was disappointed.

When Gu Yu boarded the carriage, she wanted to close the carriage's curtain but it was stopped by Shen Lisa as she was staring attentively at the person who was carrying the sword. It was a young man and his attire was also common like his looks. Seeing their Young Lady staring at this unfamilar male, Gu Yu and Jing Zhe were unable to make head or tail of it.

Shen Lisa frowned. Why was this person so familiar?

That young man shook his head and sighed before looking deeply at the sword in his embrace. He clenched his teeth and turned to head towards the pawn shop, seemingly he finally decided to make this unsatisfying transaction.

"Gu Yu!" Just at the moment when he turned, Shen Lisa suddenly shouted, "Go down and stop him. Tell him that I want that sword of his!

"Young Lady..." Jing Zhe and Gu Yu looked at her in surprised. They really did not know why did Shen Lisa did this for.

"Quickly!" Shen Lisa coldly said.

Seeing her serious look, Gu Yu did not dare to ask more and immediately jumped off the carriage and headed towards that young person.

When the young person took a step, he could hear someone behind him speaking, "Gentleman, do hold on."

He turned around and saw a female clad in a maid's uniform rushing towards him before smiling, "Is Gentleman going to the pawnshop to pawn the sword that you are holding?"
