The strongman's wife who traveled through time and space and became a young general

Gu Anqing's face was covered with a layer of frost. He stared at Gu San with cold eyes, and his questioning words revealed unquestionable majesty. "Such an important clue, you didn't find it?"

"I have failed in my duty and I am willing to be punished." Gu San knelt on one knee and bowed his head to admit his mistake.

The brothers Lin Nanye and Lin Nanyue were very surprised, but also felt a little reluctant.

Since they met Gu Anqing, they were used to Gu Anqing's protection of Changqing. Unexpectedly, Gu San knelt down on the spot because of Gu Anqing's words.

They knew from childhood that if they did something wrong or got into trouble, they had to kneel before the ancestral tablets to admit their mistakes, but they had never kneeled before anyone.

Now it seems that what my younger sister said is indeed correct. Although the Gu Mansion is luxurious and comfortable, the fate of the servants is completely in the hands of the master, and life and death are determined by him.

Lin Qiu'er thought this was normal. After all, this was a society where the emperor was supreme, and the lives of servants were worthless. A conscientious master might consider the situation of the servants, but a ruthless or vicious master would just treat the servants like cattle and horses.

However, they would still need to rely on Gu San and other guards to help find their eldest brother. If Gu San was punished by Gu Anqing and was emotional in his future actions, it would be difficult to deal with.

"Changqing, did that old woman say anything else?" Lin Qiuer turned her head and asked Changqing. She noticed that Changqing seemed very anxious when Gu Anqing blamed Gu San just now.

"The old woman also said that the night before, the third young master of the Tongzhi family hosted a banquet at Cuiyun Tower," Changqing looked at Lin Qiuer gratefully and replied, "They made a fuss until dawn the next day, and then left one after another."

Chang Qing and Gu San have a very close relationship. They grew up together and their fathers were good friends.

Chang Qing was chosen as the young master's servant, and when the young master came to Lingao County from the imperial city, he was brought along. Gu San was chosen as the Gu Mansion's guard since he was young, and in the following years, he would come to Lingao County with the team that delivered things to the young master every year, and then he stayed in Lingao.

When Lin Qiu'er heard this, her eyes flickered. She thought that maybe someone from Cuiyun Tower had accidentally seen some important clues. After making up her mind, she said to Gu Anqing, "Mr. Gu, it looks like we have to go to Cuiyun Tower tonight to find out what's going on."

When Gu Anqing was in Lingao County, although he did not often interact with the young masters of other mansions, after attending a banquet one time, he was dragged to the Lotus Tower by several young men of the same age.

That experience left a deep impression on him. He was disgusted by the men's foul language, and he was even more troubled by the women who kept throwing themselves at him after seeing him.

From then on, whenever someone suggested going to a brothel, he firmly refused.

Now that he heard that Lin Qiu'er was planning to go to Cuiyun Tower tonight, he couldn't help but feel resistance, thinking that the place was too dirty and not suitable for a simple girl like Lin Qiu'er to set foot in.

"Miss Qiu'er, you'd better not go to Cuiyun Tower tonight. The environment there is really..." Gu Anqing said hesitantly.

"What's wrong with that?" Lin Qiuer asked puzzledly.

She thought, isn't it said that brothels are a good place for men to have fun? If the environment is bad, how can business be good?

This question reminded Gu Anqing of the unpleasant memories from before. He showed obvious disgust on his face and explained seriously,

"The women there like to snuggle up to the men, and the men drool at the sight of the women. And the smell there is not good, it's very stinky."

Lin Nanyue still didn't quite understand what the flower house was, so she couldn't help but ask,

"Don't they have feet? Why can't they walk on their own? Why do they have to rely on others and cling to them?"

After listening to the conversation between Lin Qiu'er and Gu Anqing, Lin Nanye had guessed what kind of place a flower house was, so he held Lin Nanyue's arm and explained in a low voice, "Nanyue, a flower house is the place those guards were talking about. There are many girls in there, and every night they want to find a man to be their husband."

Lin Nanyue widened her eyes, smacked her lips for a while, and sighed with regret,

"It would be great if there was a place like this in our village! Those warriors who can't get married would have a place to go."

When Lin Qiuer heard this, she couldn't help but feel powerless.

What did these two people learn from the guards of the Gu Mansion?

She shook her head helplessly, then looked at Gu Anqing, snorted at him, and said with a slightly mocking tone,

"What are you afraid of? If something like this really happens, and a man dares to throw himself on me, I promise to make him know what 'cutting off his offspring' means. If it's a woman, humph, who knows who will suffer the loss then."

After hearing this, Chang Qing couldn't help but tremble: Miss Lin is still as scary as ever.

Gu San never expected that Lin Qiuer, a girl, would say such words. He secretly glanced at Chang Qing and found that Chang Qing shook his head and winked at him to signal him not to say anything, so he immediately lowered his head and imagined himself as a stone.

"Ms. Qiu'er, how do you plan to make those women suffer?" Gu Anqing asked with a confused look on his face.

He could understand if she wanted to make a man childless, after all, Miss Qiu'er had the ability to do so. But she said that she could make a woman suffer, which was something he couldn't understand.

Lin Qiu'er smiled slyly, and did not tell Gu Anqing the answer directly. She just said mysteriously, "Wait for me to buy some things and dress up a little, and then you will know."

Yes, she planned to dress herself up as a young boy and follow them to Cuiyun Tower to explore the legendary brothel.

And her makeup skills, honed through years of practical experience, can finally come in handy.

For some reason, she felt a little excited when she thought about it.

"No matter how much we search here, we won't find anything. Let's go to Cuiyun Tower tonight to find out first." Lin Qiu'er said decisively, then turned around and instructed Gu San, "Gu San, lead the way. Take me to the best rouge and powder shop in Linzhou City, and then go to the clothing store to get two sets of men's clothes."

When Gu Anqing heard Lin Qiuer's plan, he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

He guessed that Lin Qiuer was planning to go to Cuiyun Tower in disguise, but could those women in the brothel really not tell that she was a woman?

Although he was full of doubts, he couldn't bear to refuse when he saw Lin Qiuer, who was so excited and eager to try.

He glanced at Gu San silently, and Gu San immediately understood, nodded, stood up and led the way.

Lin Qiuer waved her hand and turned around to walk in the direction they came in. Her steps were brisk, and she was obviously in a very good mood.

Seeing this, the brothers Lin Nanye and Lin Nanyue naturally did not delay and quickly followed Lin Qiuer's pace.

Seeing Lin Qiuer so excited, Gu Anqing's worries were slightly relieved.

It seemed that she was not angry because Gu San and others failed to find the secret door of the brothel, which made him relieved.

He saw that Lin Qiuer had turned the corner, so he quickened his pace to catch up with her.

Changqing and other guards followed closely behind, and the group quickly left the secret door of Baihua Pavilion.

After everyone left, the secret door of Baihua Pavilion quietly opened again.

The old woman stuck her head out and looked outside. She found that those people had left, so she walked out with peace of mind. She put her hands on her hips and spat in the direction where Lin Qiu'er and others left.

"Bah! Where did this country bumpkin come from? He comes to make trouble at the back door in broad daylight. If you have money, come to Baihua Pavilion at night!" The old woman cursed viciously.
