After raising a cub, I won by doing nothing

Chapter 744: I didn't do anything else, so don't think too much about it

Fengling Tower is different from other brothels. The women inside do not engage in the flesh trade. They only sell their art and not their bodies. It is the favorite place for the talented and romantic men in the imperial capital.

"Can anyone go to the underground black market?" Mu Wanxi asked.

"A secret code is needed. Their secret code changes every day." Mu Jinye replied.

Mu Wanxi nodded: "Big Brother, how many times have you been to Fengling Tower?"

Mu Jinye was just about to drink tea. When he heard Mu Wanxi ask this, his hands shook and he almost spilled the tea on himself.

"I've only been there once, when I bought the mermaid incense. I never visit brothels normally." Mu Jinye was afraid that Mu Wanxi would misunderstand him, so he said very seriously.

Mu Wanxi didn’t care whether Mu Jinye liked to visit brothels or not. She just wanted to find out more information about Fengling Tower.

But since Mu Jinye had only been there once, it was obvious that he wouldn't know a lot.

Next, Mu Wanxi and Mu Jinye exchanged a few casual pleasantries, and Mu Wanxi used the excuse that it was too late and asked Mu Jinye to go back and rest.

After Mu Jinye left, Mu Wanxi called all the secret guards in the princess's mansion to the study.

Liao Jiu and Liu Wuming both came on Thursday.

Dozens of secret guards stood in front of Mu Wanxi in an orderly manner.

Liao Jiu and Zhou Si stood at the front.

"I want to ask you some questions, and you must answer truthfully." Mu Wanxi took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"Princess, you can ask as much as you want. We will tell you everything we know!" Liao Jiu said firmly.

"Who among you has been to Fengling Tower?" Mu Wanxi asked with a smile. As soon as she finished speaking, the study room fell into an eerie silence.

Some people were thin-skinned and their faces turned red.

A few people weakly raised their hands, including Liu Wuming.

Mu Wanxi stretched out her jade hand and tapped Liu Wuming: "Liu Wuming, tell me, how many times have you been to Fengling Tower?"

Liu Wuming took a few steps forward and walked in front of Mu Wanxi: "In reply to the princess, I go to Fengling Tower several times a month, so I can't remember exactly how many times I've been there."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other secret guards couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I can't tell, Wuming, that Fengling Tower is a famous treasury for spending money. You are so rich." Liao Jiu teased.

"Although I have never been to Fengling Tower, I heard that Fengling Tower does not welcome rough people like us who practice martial arts, but only welcomes scholars and writers. Wuming, you are quite knowledgeable?" Zhou Si also said with a smile.

Their teasing made Liu Wuming blush.

"Well, I, Liu Wuming, have no money and no education. It's because the proprietress of Fenglinglou is my childhood sweetheart. I went to Fenglinglou purely to eat their pork elbow and roast goose in soy sauce, but not for anything else. Don't think too much about it." Liu Wuming said seriously.

Mu Wanxi's mind moved, and the look in his eyes became deep as he looked at Liu Wuming.

"Liu Wuming, is the proprietress of Fenglinglou your childhood sweetheart?"

Is it such a coincidence?
Facing Mu Wanxi's scrutinizing eyes, Liu Wuming said calmly, "Yes. The proprietress of Fengling Tower is called Chu Xiang'er. Her father is a hunter. Like my family, we all lived on Jiuyang Mountain. Later, her parents died in an accident, and she went down the mountain alone to make a living. Later, I also know how she became the proprietress of Fengling Tower. When I met her again, she was already the proprietress of Fengling Tower."

If Mu Wanxi had not sent someone to check Liu Wuming's background in advance, he would have suspected that there was something fishy about this matter.
