One touch and one silence

Yuan Shaoqing became very angry when he heard the madam's tone.

In the beginning, he did not take the girl back to the prison for interrogation because of the mother's request and the fact that the girl had fainted. But now, this old procuress has gone even further and even dared to accuse their Seventh Prince.

Nanzhi watched the old procuress's face, which turned pale and blue, and the anger hidden in her eyes.

A brothel madam dared to be angry with the people from the Dali Temple? How interesting.

I guess this brothel is not simple!

Nanzhi looked at Mudan, who was standing behind the madam. She looked shaky and aggrieved. The more Nanzhi looked at her, the more she felt that there was something wrong with her.

She decided to try the old method.

Nanzhi walked around the madam very rudely, and her naked gaze made the two of them extremely disgusted.

"I know some medical skills, how about I show them to Miss Mudan? Apart from other things, I am quite good at treating headaches and fevers."

Who knew that as soon as Nanzhi finished speaking, the madam directly rejected Nanzhi's words.

"You are joking, sir. You..." After saying that, he looked Nanzhi up and down, his eyes full of suspicion. As if to say, how could you be so young?

"Don't worry, my lord! If you have anything else to say, please ask as soon as possible, lest this lord says that we are not cooperating. People who don't know may think that this matter was done by us in Yifengyuan. If Mudan's body can't support it later, you will have to run again."

Although the madam's attitude was flattering, her tone was not very polite.

"Master Yuan, look! This lady thinks we come here too often. This official is coming to your Yifeng Courtyard for the first time today."

Nanzhi was not polite either. It was a joke that a small brothel madam actually criticized her, so she ridiculed him back.

Peony came out at this time.

"Please don't blame me, my mother is also worried that this incident will affect the business of Yifengyuan. The sisters in the courtyard still rely on this for their livelihood. I hope you will not be angry with me."

Nanzhi looked at Mudan who stood up to help. It seemed that she was speaking for her mother, but in fact she was blaming them for causing Yifengyuan to lose business and making it impossible for them to eat.

Liu Yue also became angry. In fact, he really wanted to draw his sword, but when he thought of his master who was investigating a case, he held back.

"My master doesn't blame you. This man died in your Yifeng Courtyard, not in our Dali Temple. Why blame our master?"

"What does your lack of food have to do with our lord? Lord Yuan has shown mercy by not closing down your brothel on the spot and sending all of you to jail. So, are you taking advantage of me? Or are you being shameless?" He dared to condemn her prince openly or secretly. He must be fed up with life.

Nanzhi listened to Liuyue's words and secretly gave her a thumbs up in her heart.

Look, these words really please her.

Since you don't want to, then forget it. She has other ways, many ways.

"Since Miss Peony is not feeling well, let's come back next time."

Don't you want us to come more often? I want to come more often.

After saying that, she took a step forward and prepared to walk out. When she reached Mudan's side, she accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt and was about to fall in front of Mudan.

Nanzhi is lucky. In front of so many people, Mudan will definitely lend her a hand, right?

But this time she was really wrong.

It was very abrupt when a hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed her collar.

"This noble man should be more careful. If you can't even walk steadily, don't run around."

Nanzhi knew who the voice belonged to without looking back.

She stood firm and stomped on the ground twice. "What kind of floor is this? It's so slippery that I almost fell. Liu Yue! Dig this floor for me."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the first floor.

Are you mocking me?

Ha ha……

Go fix the floor.

Although her calculations failed, she was more certain of one thing.

There is something wrong with the girl named Mudan. If a normal person sees a child almost falling, shouldn’t he reach out to help him first?

How could you remain indifferent?

What kind of cold-hearted person would turn a blind eye to this? It doesn't fit her personality!

This was the first difficult thing she encountered since she came to the Da Ling Dynasty.

Nanzhi walked out without looking back, but she heard the sound of the floor breaking and the madam's scream.

As soon as Nanzhi walked out of Yifengyuan, Liuyue followed and put a cloak on Nanzhi.

I don't know when the heavy rain outside stopped.

The ground was still wet. Liu Yue picked up Nanzhi and got on the carriage of the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

Nanzhi did not notice that at the second-floor window of another brothel separated from Yifengyuan, there was a woman standing, staring at their departing backs with a half-smile in her eyes.

As for Yuan Wuqing and others who had not left Yifeng Courtyard, Nanzhi ignored them. She had to go back and think about whether there was something wrong that she had missed.

The madam in Yifengyuan looked at the floor that was cut by a sword and her face turned red with anger.

"Where did Lord Yuan bring this nobleman? He has turned my place into this state. How can I do business? Lord Yuan, please give me an explanation."

Yuan Wuqing sat in the chair without moving, looking up at the two people in front of him.

The madam became even angrier.

"What does Lord Yuan mean by this? Mom will go to the Dali Temple today to sue her for property damage!"

The madam spoke with righteous indignation, as if Nanzhi had really done something extraordinary.

Who knew that Yuan Wuqing laughed when he heard this.

"Mom, go ahead and see whether the floor of your Yifeng Courtyard is harder or your bones are harder."

Since the Yifeng Courtyard was so shameless and not only slapped him, the Dali Temple staff, in the face, and even slapped the Seventh Prince in the face, he would naturally not ignore it.

If His Majesty knew that the Seventh Prince was with him and was scolded and pointed at in a brothel, I'm afraid his position as Shaoqing would be over.

"Since mother thinks it is inconvenient for Miss Mudan to ask here, then let's go to the Dali Temple to ask! I see that the girl's health has improved a lot."

"Zhao Xiaojing invited people to the Dali Temple."

Yuan Wuqing said this with a smile and was about to leave, but was stopped by the brothel owner.

"Master Yuan, are you really going to show no mercy at all? The master behind my Yifeng Courtyard is not someone you can afford to offend!"

The madam no longer had the flattering and timid look she had at the beginning, and she was so bold as to threaten Yuan Wuqing.

Yuan Wuqing has seen all kinds of people, so who has he ever been afraid of?

He glanced at the mother who was blocking his way, his tone more stern than ever before.

"Obstructing the Dali Temple from handling a case is equivalent to committing the same crime. Mom, do you want to accompany this girl?"

"Mom, you can ask the master behind this Yifeng Courtyard to go to the Dali Temple to find me. I will be waiting at the Dali Temple."

After saying that, he turned around, raised his hand to push the madam's hand away, and walked out.

Zhao Xiaojing walked up to Mudan and said in a gentle voice, "Excuse me, young lady. Please come with us to the Dali Temple."

The madam wanted to stop them, but was persuaded by Mudan.

"Don't worry, mom. Your daughter will be out soon."

After saying that, he left with Zhao Xiaojing.

Instead, Zhao Xiaojing felt a little embarrassed. "It's cold outside, why don't you put on a thick cloak?"

Mudan was unwilling to do that. What she wanted was to be taken away by the people from the Dali Temple without even having time to put on clothes.

What she wanted was for people to talk about the Dali Temple. The more people sympathized with her, the better it would be for her.
