Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence

In the plum garden, the maid Biluo came out to greet the third young lady with a happy face when she heard her footsteps returning.

"Miss Third, you are finally back. Look, this is what General Bai Xiao just sent his personal servant Bai Shu to deliver," she said as she opened the red cloth covering several trays.

On the tray, there were blood-red, translucent bird's nests, clearly the finest blood-red bird's nests; there were century-old ginseng, complete with intact roots and a robust, thick body; there was fish maw, only available along the coast, pale yellow, transparent, and tough; and there were all sorts of rare medicinal herbs, each a seldom-seen treasure worth a fortune. If you took any of these tonics out, people would scramble for them.

"Young General Bai really cares about the young lady. He just came back from a victorious battle and sent her so many supplements." When Biluo mentioned the young general Bai Mufan, her face was full of admiration.

After all, a young general who has made great achievements at such a young age will always be the focus of everyone's attention no matter where he is.

His heroic deeds and outstanding military exploits captivated countless people. How could such a man not attract women's hearts? Moreover, his care for his young lady was even more enviable.

Chen Manli, who was already in a bad mood because of her marriage, couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart when she heard Biluo's words.

She knew that Bai Mufan was an excellent man, not only a skilled martial artist but also a sincere heart. But he was only the adopted son of the general's mansion, a status that was truly unworthy of her. Thinking of this, the ripples in Chen Manli's heart calmed down again.

Seeing that her master's face was not as gloomy as when she just came back, the maid Bihe flattered her: "Yes, our third young lady is well-known for her talent and beauty like the fairies in the Moon Palace. She has a long-standing reputation. Which boy in the capital does not want to covet her?" As she spoke, she covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled.

The maid Biluo also took over the conversation and said, "Yes, General Bai sends many precious gifts every year, but he can only see the young lady a few times. He can only hope that the young lady can look at him!"

Hearing the maids' teasing, Third Miss Chen Manli didn't get angry. Instead, she found it a little funny. She pursed her lips slightly, suppressing the slight upward curve of her mouth, and felt secretly proud.

She recalled her past with General Bai Xiao, and how their relationship had always been delicate. Although General Bai Xiao was deeply in love with her, she always maintained a certain distance and reserved attitude. However, the feeling of being pursued and loved made her feel extremely satisfied.

At this moment, Chen Manli's heart was filled with confidence and pride. She knew her own charm and status, and she had an absolute advantage over a suitor like General Bai Xiao.

She thought to herself that Bai Mufan was handsome, had been in love with her for many years, and had won two battles with General Bai.

Originally, he was an excellent marriage candidate, but he was just an adopted beggar in the general's mansion. With such an identity, how could he be worthy of such a noble young lady like her? Her father was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and her grandfather was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Thinking of this, she impatiently interrupted the two maids' flattering words and said in a stern tone: "General Bai is just thanking me for saving him back then. You girls, don't go out and say anything nonsense!"

Her voice was filled with unquestionable authority, causing the two maids to shut up immediately, not daring to say another word.

The maid Bihe heard the hidden meaning in the young lady's words and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "It turns out that the young lady has no feelings for General Bai!"

In fact, Bihe had noticed this a long time ago, and now it has been confirmed. Given how much General Bai cares about the young lady, if the young lady is really interested, the general's mansion would probably have sent someone to propose marriage long ago.

Now it seems that everything was just General Bai Xiao's wishful thinking.

Although the young lady is already engaged, her engagement partner's family is not prominent, so it is still unknown whether this marriage will be successful.

For a lady from a wealthy family, the final outcome of the marriage cannot be determined until the last moment.

The maid Biluo wanted to say a few more good words for General Bai, but was stopped by Bihe with a look.

Biluo knew that he couldn't say any more, so he lowered his head silently and continued with the work in his hands.

Bihe stood quietly by, looking at the scenery outside the window, wondering what she was thinking.

The maid Biluo's eyes were slightly red, and she felt as if her heart was pricked by needles. She hoped that the young lady could marry the handsome General Bai, so that she could accompany the young lady to marry into the Bai family and become General Bai's maid.

She knew that her status was not high, but she really liked the young general.

Thinking of this, Biluo's face turned red, and a sense of shame welled up in her heart. She realized that her expectations for the future might be a bit too much. After all, she was just a servant and didn't have the right to pursue too much. However, the desire deep in her heart made it impossible for her to completely suppress this emotion.

Chen Manli ordered: "Bihe, bring me paper and pen. I want to write a letter to thank General Bai for the medicinal herbs."

"Yes," Bihe quickly found paper and pen.

Chen Manli was thinking to herself that she couldn't just let this matter go. She had to find out whether Bai Mufan had helped her ruin this marriage as they had agreed.

After all, she really didn't want to marry a fool like Su Yu. Thinking of this, Chen Manli decided to ask Bai Mufan to meet at the Jinling Restaurant outside the city at 3:00 this afternoon to discuss this issue. Meeting in a restaurant in the capital was too conspicuous and it would be bad if people saw them.

Although her mother and father were furious about Su Yu's incident at the brothel, they hadn't explicitly said they would send someone to cancel the engagement. She still had to discuss it with Bai Mufan.

Outside the Baihua Tower in the east of the city, Su Yu stood quietly, looking calmly at the closed door in front of him. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Song Xuanzhi, who was standing aside, looked a little nervous and embarrassed, with a slightly red face.

He then realized that he was too impatient and wanted to make Su Yu infamous and ruined, but he forgot an important fact: brothels are usually not open during the day.

This oversight prevented them from entering and proceeding as planned.

No sooner said than done, at this moment, a fair-faced turtle man in a black robe slowly walked out from the door.

His sharp eyes immediately noticed Song Xuanzhi and his group standing at the door. In an instant, a flattering smile appeared on his face, and he walked over quickly and saluted them.

It seems that this old man is quite familiar with Song Xuanzhi and others, and can even be said to be an old acquaintance.

His eyes revealed a look of flattery and fawning, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, forming a deep arc, as if his whole body was enveloped in joy.

The old man opened his mouth slightly and said in a clear voice: "I am honored to meet you gentlemen! Mr. Song, you came really early today! Miss Mei'er is probably still asleep now!"

As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, as if he was a little surprised by Song Xuanzhi's early arrival.

"Mr. Han, there are a few new virgins coming to our building recently. Come and support us in the evening. Mother Zhou also said that she has reserved a younger one for you."

After hearing this, Han Qin showed an ambiguous smile on his face: "Oh? A younger one? Haha, then I will definitely come over to try it tonight!"

After saying that, he deliberately glanced in Su Yu's direction, as if showing off his romantic affairs.

Su Yu frowned, feeling disgusted. Han Qin was such a shameless person, indulging in brothels all day long. He was really despicable.

After saying that, the old man winked at Han Qin with a look that said, "You understand." Su Yu really couldn't bear to look at it. He didn't want to understand that look either. It was really too obscene and vulgar.

The more Turtle Man talked, the darker Song Xuanzhi's face became. It was normal for him to come here for entertainment, but it was a bit embarrassing to say it out loud.

And this was in front of Su Yu, a fool.

Su Yu secretly observed that Lin Lantian on the lunar surface next to him didn't pay much attention to the turtle man, but this was normal. People in such brothels were the best at judging people by their appearance.

Lin Lantian was just an ordinary farmer's boy. He could only come here to look around, drink some wine, and look at pretty girls when he followed Han Qin and Song Xuanzhi. How could he be happy without money?

Whenever the two of them stayed overnight, he would go back alone before curfew in dejected mood.

Lin Lantian could see that this old man didn't take him seriously, but as he saw Song Xuanzhi's face getting darker and darker, he thought that Song Xuanzhi was embarrassed because he had made a mistake about the time he came to Baihua Tower.

So he interrupted the old man's chattering and said with the power of a fox: "Our Mr. Song, of course you know that Baihua Tower does not welcome guests during the day. We are just passing by here and going to the Jinling Restaurant in front to entertain guests." The more he spoke, the higher his head held.

Song Xuanzhi was stunned for a moment. He was about to say, who said he was going to host a banquet.

He thought to himself, isn't it Su Yu who usually treats them to meals? Usually, when they go out to eat together, it is Su Yu who pays the bill.

Su Yu glanced at the stunned Song Xuanzhi, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin is right. Today I met some classmates in the clothing shop. They said that they haven't seen me for a long time and missed me very much, so they specially invited me to have a meal at Jinling Restaurant, the most famous restaurant in Taohua County."

"Isn't that right, Brother Song?" Su Yu looked at Song Xuanzhi with a smile.

In order not to lose face in front of the old man, Song Xuanzhi gritted his teeth and replied, "Of course."
