The man leered at her with a lascivious glance, noticing her fine figure.
"This one's quite a specimen." He let out a lewd laugh.
Xing'er looked at him with disdain, handed him a pouch of silver, and said:
"Here are fifty taels. Madam said once the job is done, she'll give you another fifty taels."
With so much silver in his hand, the man's courage grew even larger.
"Go back and tell Madam, I will handle it cleanly and efficiently so no suspicion falls on her."
"I'm leaving now, make sure not to cause too much commotion." Xing'er advised before leaving.
At the same time, the Fourth Madam entered Yun Shangshu's study with a cup of ginseng tea.
Today she wore a goose-yellow robe, with only a jade hairpin adorned with emerald on her head. She wore light makeup, simple and elegant, beautiful but not vulgar.
Coupled with her already sweet appearance, this attire made her seem even more demure.
