Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Tang Jingchen's heart suddenly went on alarm bells, and he became even more certain that Fu Qi'an was waiting here specifically for them, or to be more precise, he was waiting for Xiao Guoer.

Could it be that the person he was looking for was Xiao Guoer?

But didn't Xiao Guoer save the Eighth Prince? Was the Eighth Prince looking for Xiao Guoer's whereabouts to repay her for saving his life, or... for something else?

Tang Jingchen's mind was in a state of confusion. He said calmly, "I just remembered that I have something to do at home and I need to go back quickly. The people in this carriage don't like to see outsiders, so I won't greet you, Master Fu. I hope you can forgive me."

Fu Qi'an was unmoved. "That won't do. I was ordered to find someone. The clue I received was that this person got on the Tang family carriage. Please ask the people in the carriage to come out and see him."

As if to prevent being overheard, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Young Master Tang doesn't want to disobey the prince's order, right?"

Xiao Guoer listened for a long time with a frown in the carriage, until she vaguely heard the word "Prince", and finally understood what Fu Qi'an meant.

She was speechless. What did the prince mean? She saved his life! It would be fine if he didn't feel grateful, but why did he go to great lengths to find her?

How did Fu Qian know that the person the prince was looking for was her and was in the Tang family's carriage?

Tang Jingchen asked her doubts the next second, "Mr. Fu, you are joking. How dare I disobey the prince's order? I am just afraid that there is a misunderstanding. How could there be someone the prince is looking for in my carriage? Is the clue wrong?"

"Is there a mistake? Wouldn't it be clear if the people inside came out and took a look?"

"So, Master Fu knows what the person the prince is looking for looks like? Do you have a portrait? Or are there any features that can be used to identify him?"

Fu Qi'an was stunned by the question. How could he know what Xiao Guo'er's true appearance was? The prince had not described in detail to him what unique features that stunning woman had!

Seeing that he was speechless, Tang Jingchen immediately said, "If Mr. Fu doesn't have any evidence, I'm sorry that I can't obey your order."

"You just want to come out to meet me, but you are making all these excuses. It is obvious that there must be something fishy going on! If you have nothing to hide, why don't you dare to come out?"

Seeing that he was not giving up, Tang Jingchen had to make an excuse, "There is a woman in the carriage. Because her clothes were accidentally torn, she can't show up. Mr. Fu, please don't make it difficult for her, right?"

After hearing what Tang Jingchen said, Xiao Guoer looked at herself and realized that she had found a... good excuse...

Fu Qi'an sneered, "Mr. Tang, you must be thinking that I am a fool. She is naked, and as a man, how can you ride in the same car with her?"

"If this woman is so shameless, then why not let me have a glimpse of her beauty? Since she is not some chaste and heroic woman, it won't hurt to take a look at her. This will also allow me to confirm whether the person in the car is the one the prince is looking for." As he said this, he took a step forward and was about to lift the curtain of the car.

In an instant, Tang Jingchen was frightened, as if facing a formidable enemy, and he quickly stepped forward, like an insurmountable mountain, standing firmly in front of him with no intention of retreating.

His tone was no longer calm as before, and his attitude was tough, "Since Master Fu can't tell what the person the prince is looking for looks like, how can he identify him even if he sees him? Could it be that he thinks that my Tang family is just a merchant family with no one in the court, so he deliberately bullies my Tang family?"

Fu Qi'an took another step forward, and the distance between them was only a fraction of a second. He said in a sharp tone, "You are so uncooperative, are you trying to go against the prince?"

The two of them were unwilling to give in to each other, the atmosphere was tense and full of gunpowder, and it was ready to ignite at any time.

Shun'er was secretly worried. The young master often said that the people should not fight with the officials. He often taught them not to fight with the officials. On weekdays, they were even more cautious and would never easily provoke those dignitaries. Is he going to fight with Master Fu for Xiao Guo'er today?

When Tang Jingchen heard Fu Qi'an's threat, he remained motionless and showed no fear. The woman he loved was sitting in the carriage, so how could he retreat?

"Master Fu, you don't have to keep using the title of the prince to pressure others. Why don't we go find the prince now and let him do justice and see why Master Fu insisted on looking at my half-dressed fiancée!"

Fiancée?!

Hearing Tang Jingchen say these four words, not only was Fu Qi'an extremely surprised and stood there in a daze, Shun'er was also dumbfounded, and even Xiao Guo'er who was hiding in the carriage could not help but be stunned.

How could Fu Qian go with Tang Jingchen to see the prince!

He brought the prince out just to threaten Tang Jingchen. He had just told the prince in the palace that finding that stunning woman would not be easy, but in the blink of an eye he showed up with the stunning woman. Didn't this confirm his deception?

Besides, he didn't want to hand Xiao Guoer over to the prince.

As long as Xiao Guo'er stays with Tang Jingchen, he still has a chance to compete with him, but if she becomes the prince's person, he will have no hope at all.

"Is she really your fiancée?"

"It's absolutely true!" Tang Jingchen said firmly.

Tang Jingchen used the name of his fiancée, so Fu Qian had to take a step back even though he was unwilling.

He was unwilling to hand Xiao Guoer over to the prince, but he also couldn't completely break off relations with Tang Jingchen.

The prince has instructed them to work together!

"Then look forward to Mr. Tang's wedding banquet." Fu Qian gritted his teeth and uttered the words.

Tang Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief, "I will definitely invite Master Fu to come."

Tang Jingchen bowed and said goodbye, and just as he raised his leg, Fu Qi'an stopped him.

Tang Jingchen's heart, which had just been relieved, was in suspense again. He looked at Fu Qi'an with doubt and caution, "Master Fu, is there anything else?"

Fu Qi'an said in a businesslike manner with an expressionless face, "The prince has sent a message that you must report to the Zunyi Palace at midnight tonight. Enter through the back door and do not attract attention."

Tang Jingchen was relieved, "Yes, sir."

This time, without Fu Qian's obstruction, Tang Jingchen jumped onto the shaft of the carriage, carefully lifted a corner of the curtain, and then quickly slipped into the carriage.

Shun'er also quickly jumped onto the shaft of the cart and cracked the whip in his hand. The horse felt the pain and ran forward quickly.

The veins on Fu Qian'an's hand that was holding the folding fan were bulging, and he didn't look away until the carriage disappeared around the corner.

You can hide for a while, but can you hide for a lifetime?
