On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

Cuihong Garden is the largest den of illicit sex in Luojing.

Normally, brothels only start receiving customers at the beginning of the Xu hour.

However, today, at only 3:00 p.m., a distinguished guest arrived.

The gorgeously dressed old procuress was holding a ten-liang gold ingot in her hand. She was looking at the handsome young man in brocade robe, who was waving a folding fan in front of her. She was laughing so hard that her eyes were almost blinded.

"Oh, master, don't worry. We don't have much in Cuihong Garden, but we have the most girls. Do I like pure and tender girls? Charming girls? There is nothing I can't think of. I can't find it here. They will definitely serve me well."

"It's better this way," the young man waved his folding fan, looking like a prodigal, "My friend is shy in front of people, but wild behind their backs. I heard that each of the Twelve Golden Flowers here is top-notch, and they all went to my friend for sex."

All in?

The madam was a little embarrassed. "To be honest, the most popular ones here are the Twelve Golden Flowers. Each one is as delicate as a flower, and each one can play the instrument well. If all of them are used at once, I'm afraid..."

"After all, you just think I don't have money, right?"

With a "pa--" sound, a thick stack of banknotes was slapped on the table by the young man, "Here is 10,000 taels. You can't open Cuihong Garden today."

...

At the same time, Fuyaotang.

Ever since he learned that the bandit leader had been arrested, Su Qishun no longer cared about the unpleasant things that had happened in the mansion today.

She hastily changed clothes with Qin Qing, and somehow she made Qin Qing kneel down in front of Hong and admit his mistake.

He was as anxious as an ant on hot pan.

"Madam, we must not let that bandit leader fall into the hands of others alive..."

Once the bandit leader is caught, then what happened back then...

For the first time in her life, Hong felt that Su Qishun was so useless.

As a marquis, it would be fine if he needed his adopted brother's support for military merits to inherit the title, but now he is holding an idle civil servant position. If anything really happens, he will need to use her mother's family connections everywhere.

If it weren't for Hao'er...

Hong tried to make his tone calm.

"Do you know who did it?"

Su Qishun hesitated for a moment, glanced at Qin Qing who was kneeling outside the door, and whispered, "Fu Jingrong has returned to Beijing. The news from my people made it very clear that it was not the Imperial Guards who were suppressing the bandits, but the Dingbei Army wearing flying feather armor."

Although Hong usually lived in the rear house, she always kept in touch with the women in other houses.

The rumor that Prince Dingbei and his son would return to Beijing soon had only remained at the stage of being heard of.

"Fu Jingrong... is he the prince of Dingbei who left Beijing at the age of three?"

Su Qishun nodded and sighed, "Prince Dingbei returned to the capital quietly, and immediately wiped out the leader's lair. I'm afraid he had been lying in wait for the right opportunity. Moreover, I'm afraid his move this time also required the emperor's approval."

Otherwise, how could a military general who controlled most of the Yuan Dynasty's military forces dare to display his troops so blatantly?

"I'll ask my father and brother to keep an eye on it later..."

Speaking of her own brother, Hong glanced coldly at Qin Qing who was kneeling outside the door, and her tone when speaking to Su Qishun inevitably had a bit more resentment.

"The Yong'an Marquis' Mansion will not let today's incident go like this."

"Tong'er, if you say that today's incident has nothing to do with the second house, I won't believe it even if you kill me." Su Qishun also gritted his teeth.

"But now, in addition to the Second Branch, we may also have to face the Dingbei Palace. If the Dingbei Palace can't find out about our cooperation with the eldest boss, it will be fine. But if they find out..."

Hong lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, "These days, I will have people pay more attention to the people who appear in Luojing."

A person who lives in the center of power all year round, nourished by power and money, will have a demeanor that is incomparable to that of a person from a small family.

"The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. This is the only way. The most important thing is that when Prince Dingbei left Luojing, he was only three years old. It is said that his appearance at the age of three was a combination of the looks of Prince Dingbei and Princess Dingbei. But until now, apart from the emperor, I am afraid that few people have seen his true face..."

Thinking of this, Su Qishun said, "I will now look for a few colleagues to see if they can find the portraits of the King of Dingbei and the Princess of Dingbei. Then I can copy them and deduce the appearance of the Prince of Dingbei based on their looks..."

Otherwise, he really can't rest easy.

After getting Hong's approval, Su Qishun glanced at Qin Qing who was still kneeling outside.

"Tong'er, Qing'er is already so sincere, let's not embarrass a weak woman like her."

Su Qishun's attitude is as shameless as ever.

Hong sneered in his heart.

He had already carried the person away in front of her before, but now that he found out that he was still useful, he returned to his previous humble attitude.

If it weren't for Hao'er...

Hong's hands hidden in her sleeves had long been bruised by her nails, but she still had a disdainful smile on her face, "If you want to protect her, can I stop you?"

Disdain is better than opposition.

"Tong'er, I knew you were the most considerate." Su Qishun said happily, and then took Qin Qing away from Fuyao Hall.

At this moment, Nanny Dai walked around Qin Qing from outside and came into the room to report.

"Madam, the Second House is still looking for someone, and now they want to look for him in Fuyao Hall."

Thinking of Su Jinchi's current situation, Hong couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth and snorted coldly, "If they want to look for it, let them look for it to their heart's content."

Anyway, since the person was not in the Marquis of Changping's Mansion, they would not be able to find him even if they dug three feet into the ground.

The second house embarrassed her today, so she wants Su Jinchi's life as an apology. That's not too much, right?

I saw that Mrs. Hong was extremely unhappy because of the Su Qishun incident.

Nanny Dai brought another piece of news to Mrs. Hong.

"My people also saw that the second branch seemed to be planning to move out of the mansion tonight. Because they left in a hurry, they didn't even take the property belonging to Ji Lanshuang with them."

"Since she has entered the palace, how can we give it back to her?" Hong sneered disdainfully, "Su Kang is the adopted son of my Changping Marquis Mansion, and Ji is just a merchant girl. All the rewards Su Kang received over the years have been added to my Changping Marquis Mansion. The second house is basically an empty shell except for Ji's dowry. If they want to leave, let them go. Without money or a place to live, they will have to come back on their knees."

What's more, Su Jinchi has now entered the palace.

Su Kang had not returned by then, so after the matter was accomplished, she would send someone to bring the mutilated and dead Su Jinchi to Ji.

With Ji's body...

Ah...

Just thinking of that scene, Hong felt a perverted pleasure surge in his heart.

Anyone who dares to stand in Hao'er's way must die.
