"Sir, this way please~"

When Madam Peng saw Wang Chong, she hurried forward to greet him.

But Wang Chong came to capture Zi Xuan alive tonight, not to have fun, so he drew his sword and pointed it at the madam, saying fiercely:

"I advise you to shut up! Tell me, which room is Miss Zixuan in? Tell me, and I will spare your life!"

When the girls saw this scene, they couldn't help but break out in cold sweats and ran away screaming.

Mother Peng has run Zuihonglou for nearly ten years and has seen a lot, so this little noise is not enough to scare her.

She gently pushed away Wang Chong's sword, put on a smile, and said calmly:

"Sir, I know you. You are the butler Wang in the residence of Minister Wang.

Miss Zixuan has guests today, so it is inconvenient for her to receive you. Please...”

Mother Peng knew that Prince Anyuan was in Zixuan's house at the moment, so she didn't dare to disturb him easily.

Compared to Wang Chong, the steward of the Shangshu Mansion, she was more afraid of Anyuan King Zhu Yajie.

Ever since Prince Anyuan redeemed Zixuan, he can almost be considered as the backer of Zuihonglou.

Naturally, Mother Peng would not be afraid of Wang Chong.

"Really? There are still courtesans who don't accept customers these days?

"Mother Peng, I think you don't want this Zui Hong Lou anymore, right?"

"Someone, take all the people from Zui Hong Lou away!"

In Wang Chong's eyes, he is the law.

Even though he knew clearly that King Anyuan would be in Zuihonglou tonight.

"No, Butler Wang, what do you mean?

We are a small business, and we usually give you a lot of profit. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to do this suddenly, right?"

When Peng's mother heard that Wang Chong had ordered all the girls in Zuihonglou to be captured, she became anxious instantly and quickly pulled Wang Chong over to ask for a favor.

Wang Chong did not really want to capture all the girls, but wanted to take this opportunity to get something on King Anyuan's side, and then control Zixuan so that he could negotiate with King Anyuan.

"What's inappropriate? Our Shangshu Wang has always protected you. Today, we brothers just want to find Miss Zixuan to reminisce about the past, but you are obstructing us like this. It's unreasonable, isn't it?"

Wang Chong snorted coldly and looked upstairs casually.

The corners of his lips curled up subconsciously, and he pulled out a smile that no one could understand.

Hearing this, Mother Peng became extremely flustered and rubbed her hands together.

It’s not that she disagreed with Wang Chong’s idea, but King Anyuan was in Zixuan’s house at the moment.

If Wang Chong were to rashly go to see Zi Xuan, it might completely anger King Anyuan.

By then, not only would the fact that Prince Anyuan frequented brothels be exposed, but Mother Peng would also have offended Wang Jingyun.

I am really in a dilemma right now, and I can't please you either way.

Not to mention that Prince Anyuan is the backer of Zuihonglou. Once the news of him hanging around in brothels is exposed, the situation will be far more complicated than it is now.

"Butler Wang, this is just a small gift. Look at this..."

Mother Peng thought about it and felt that Wang Chong was just looking for trouble, and it would be easy to get rid of him if she gave him some money.

So she pulled Wang Chong aside, stuffed a stack of banknotes into his hands with a smile, and looked pleading.

But Wang Chong was not here for the money at all, and he quickly stuffed the banknote back into Mother Peng's hands, sneering:

"Don't give me that! Does our palace look like it needs this little bit of money?

Mother Peng, I'm telling you the truth today. We just want to invite Miss Zixuan to sing a few songs at the palace. Please don't interfere, otherwise you won't be able to open this Zuihonglou anymore!"

"Ah? Well... then, Butler Wang, could you please allow me to go and inform Miss Zixuan first?"

Mother Peng knew she had no other options and could only use a delaying tactic.

He quietly winked at Hong Xing, indicating that she should quickly inform Zi Xuan and let King An Yuan escape first.

Hong Xing reacted quickly and turned around and went upstairs.

"Boom boom boom---"

In the room, Prince Anyuan and Zixuan were rolling the bed sheets into hemp ropes and having a lot of fun.

Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door, which immediately disturbed the interest of the two.

"Who?"

Zixuan stopped moving and a slightly heavy breathing sound was heard.

She raised her eyes and looked towards the door, her face as red as a peach.

"Miss Zixuan, Steward Wang is here to invite you to go to the palace with him. Madam Peng wants you to pack up first."

Afraid that King Anyuan couldn't hear her, Hong Xing deliberately shouted at the top of her voice.

This time, Prince Anyuan really heard it and became furious. He suddenly turned over and got out of bed.

"Got it, I'll be right down."

Zixuan responded loudly, picked up her clothes and put them on.

She pouted her lips high, looking reluctant.

"Damn Wang Jingyun! I will kill him myself!"

Prince Anyuan bent down and quickly picked up his clothes and put them on, looking as if he was about to have a falling out with Wang Chong.

Seeing this, Zi Xuan panicked immediately, and quickly hugged him, and said nervously:

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Minister Wang may not know that I am your man, so he just came to invite me to his house for a visit."

Zi Xuan loves King Anyuan terribly, so she would definitely not let him show up at this moment.

“Besides, once you meet with Minister Wang, your reputation will be completely ruined.

If you want to blame someone, you can only blame Zixuan for her poor background and being unworthy of you, Your Majesty."

Speaking of this, Zixuan quietly wiped away her tears, looking very pitiful.

King Anyuan pondered for a moment and thought that what Zixuan said made sense, so he slowly calmed down.

"Okay, I will obey you, but I will wrong you."

While speaking, King Anyuan gently put his arm around Zixuan's waist, with a hint of heartache in his deep eyes.

Zixuan pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, then shook her head gently.

"My Lord, please find a place to hide first. I will be back soon. Don't worry."

Zi Xuan gently pushed King An Yuan away, her clear eyes were misty and her voice trembled slightly.

"Okay. Zixuan, I'm sorry for putting you through this."

King Anyuan nodded slightly, watched Zixuan leave reluctantly, and clenched his fists involuntarily.

Then he quickly opened the door and went into Hong Xing's room next door.

When Zixuan walked downstairs, Mother Peng was still trying to please Wang Chong with a smile on her face.

Seeing Wang Chong's stubborn attitude, Zi Xuan knew that she couldn't avoid this trip today no matter what.

So, she simply gave up all thoughts, walked straight up to the two of them, and said with a fake smile:

"Butler Wang, please stop making things difficult for Madam Peng. Zixuan will go with you."

After saying that, before Wang Chong could react, Zi Xuan took the lead and walked in front, looking calm and composed.

Wang Chong was stunned: "Miss Zixuan is so straightforward?"

"That's natural. Unlike some people, you can't feed a wolf you don't know how to feed!

Zixuan, you have to go to the palace, you should come back early, we have to go to the palace to sing for the Queen Mother in a few days!"

Fearing that Wang Jingyun and his gang would make things difficult for Zixuan, Mother Peng glared at Wang Chong fiercely and quickly chased after him to give him a few loud warnings.

Wang Chong immediately became unhappy, his face was long and he really wanted to serve Zui Hong Lou right away.

"Don't worry, Madam Peng, we just want to invite Miss Zixuan to sing a few songs at our house, and she will be back soon after the singing.

Here, this is the reward our master gave you, is it enough?"

Wang Chong glanced at Mother Peng unhappily and quickly stuffed the banknote into her hand.

With a cold snort, he quickly walked away.

"Enough, enough! Steward Wang, take care! If there are more good things like this in the future, remember to come often!"

After staring at the banknote in her hand for a long time, Mother Peng suddenly came to her senses and a smile soon appeared on her face.
