After being reborn, her aloof ex-husband and her crazy deceased husband got into a fight.

When Gan Cai'er saw Meng Yu, she and Zhu Xiaoxiao were watching a variety show in the Wanguo Building.

Wanguolou was a theater at the ferry crossing, where opera troupes performed most of the time, but there were also one or two acrobatic and magic shows every day. It is said that there were even performances by foreign lions and tigers.

The Wanguo Building is a complex of two-story buildings with a raised platform in the center of a spacious atrium. Performers entertained on the platform, while rows of audience members sat on benches below. VIP boxes were located in the buildings on either side.

Gan Cai'er bought tickets for the very front row, right in the middle. When she and Zhu Xiaoxiao sat down, a blond foreigner on the high platform was performing fire-breathing.

The man held a torch, brought it close to his mouth, and blew hard. The flames instantly burst into flames, spewing out long tongues of fire that shot into the sky like a fire dragon, drawing an arc in the air, blazing and dazzling.

"it is good!"

The audience clapped and cheered loudly.

Just then, in the afterglow of the igniting fireworks, Gan Cai'er saw Meng Yu.

He sat in a private box on the second floor, his chin resting on his hand, lazily and listlessly watching the performance on the high platform.

Gan Cai'er froze abruptly, her enthusiastic slap stopping halfway through, and the joy on her face vanished instantly.

Seeing Gan Cai'er's expression suddenly change, Zhu Xiaoxiao followed her gaze. Then, she also saw Meng Yu.

"Is he your second husband?" Zhu Xiaoxiao nudged Gan Cai'er.

Zhu Xiaoxiao only learned about Gan Cai'er's carriage attack afterward. Under her persistent questioning, she finally learned from Gan Cai'er about their past lives.

Meng Yu clearly saw Gan Cai'er as well, and he smiled at her.

Gan Cai'er looked away expressionlessly.

"Actually, he's not bad looking." Zhu Xiaoxiao stared at Meng Yu for a few more seconds.

"Zhu Xiaoxiao, do you only judge people by their looks?" Gan Cai'er said irritably.

"Haven't you heard the saying 'Your appearance reflects your heart'? Looks are very important, you know?" Zhu Xiaoxiao retorted, unconvinced.

"Ha, so you chose a pretty face but no substance in your past life." Gan Cai'er said bluntly.

"Hey, you're upset because he's in a bad mood, why are you taking it out on me? If you're so capable, go and take it out on him yourself!"

Gan Cai'er glared at Zhu Xiaoxiao, then stood up and walked towards the door.

She didn't want to stay at the Wan Guo Lou any longer; no matter how good the performance was, she wasn't in the mood to watch it now.

"Why are they arguing?" Huan'er, sitting in the back two rows, let out a soft "Eh."

"Hehe, do they ever not argue? They haven't even started fighting yet, so they're already getting along very well."

As soon as Xiao Hong finished speaking, Zhu Xiaoxiao grabbed Gan Cai'er, leaned closer and said a few more words, and then Gan Cai'er pounced on Zhu Xiaoxiao to pinch her face.

Zhu Xiaoxiao picked up her dress, turned around with a grin, and ran away.

As expected, harmony was impossible.

Xiao Hong and Huan'er quickly got up and followed, and the four of them chased after the Wanguo Building.

Meng Yu beckoned, and Feng Zhao immediately bent down.

"Send someone to follow them, make sure nothing happens to them. Tonight, Yanbo Ferry is not going to be peaceful."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

Feng Zhao walked away quickly.

An hour later, when he received the latest intelligence, his expression changed and he hurriedly reported back to Meng Yu.

"Young master, Miss Lan has gone to Yingchun Pavilion."

"Tsk, this guy is really something..."

Meng Yu pressed his tongue against his molars and scoffed, "Wherever it's chaotic, that's where she likes to go."

After saying that, he stood up, took long strides, and went downstairs and out of the Wanguo Building in a few steps.

After leaving the Wanguo Building, Gan Cai'er and Zhu Xiaoxiao strolled around the pier.

The Yanbo Ferry is not large; the bustling area consists of only four straight streets running horizontally and vertically.

Shops lined both sides of the street, their stores overflowing with a dazzling array of goods, many of which I had never seen before. Most of the shop owners were foreigners—black, white, blond, blue-eyed, and many more.

Zhu Xiaoxiao looked at the rows of shops and said, "I see that the items here, although rare, are still ordinary items."

"Ah Cai, didn't you say before that everything can be bought and sold here? Where is it?"

Gan Cai'er raised her hand and pointed to a spot not far ahead.

There stood a three-story building with vermilion doors and windows, blue glazed tiles, carved beams and painted rafters, and a magnificent, resplendent appearance.

A large plaque hangs in front of the building, bearing three large characters: Yingchun Tower.

"Isn't that a brothel?" Zhu Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.

Well, Yingchunlou is indeed a brothel, but it is more than just a brothel.

In her past life, Gan Cai'er discovered the uniqueness of Yingchun Tower by accident.

Gan Cai'er was both familiar with and unfamiliar with brothels.

She was familiar with Wei Yulan because Wei Yulan had once been a brothel madam in Danzhou. From childhood to adulthood, she had heard many stories about brothels from Wei Yulan.

The reason she was unfamiliar with such places was because Wei Yulan strictly controlled her and never allowed her to go there. Later, she married Lan Tingzhou, and although she was free from Wei Yulan's control, the Lan family had strict rules, and Lan's mother was old-fashioned. In order not to embarrass Lan Tingzhou, she never dared to go there again.

In her past life, the only place of entertainment she had ever visited was the pleasure boat of a courtesan in Qingshui Town. She had secretly gone there a few times, all to please Lantingzhou and to learn techniques from the courtesan.

Therefore, she had a special and strong curiosity about brothels.

In her past life, when the "Fuqing" ship docked at the Yanbo Ferry, she took Lantingzhou ashore to stroll around the streets, and that's when she saw Yingchun Tower.

Several brightly dressed women stood under the lintel, their alluring gazes and seductive manners revealing at a glance what the building was all about.

Without saying a word, Gan Cai'er pulled Lan Tingzhou and headed there.

"Nonsense!" Lan Tingzhou flung his hand away and immediately turned hostile.

"Brother Lan, let's go take a look." Gan Cai'er tugged at his sleeve and acted coquettishly.

"You know what kind of place that is, and you just want to go in and see it?" Lan Tingzhou was exasperated.

"I know, it's a brothel."

"You scholars and gentlemen love going to brothels, don't you? Just take me in, I've never seen one before~~~" Gan Cai'er continued to plead in a soft voice.

"It's their business if others want to go, I won't go," Lan Tingzhou said coldly.

"If you're not going, then I'll go by myself. Xiao Hong, let's go." Gan Cai'er pleaded for a long time, but seeing that Lan Tingzhou still had a cold face, she couldn't help but get annoyed.

In the end, Lan Tingzhou still went into Yingchun Tower with Gan Cai'er.

Once inside, Gan Cai'er discovered that Yingchun Pavilion was a hidden world. On the surface, it was just a brothel, but its true business was quite different.

Meeting Zhu Xiaoxiao's surprised gaze, Gan Cai'er smiled and pointed to Yingchun Tower, saying, "Xiaoxiao, keep an eye on the people entering the tower and count from one to ten."

After a moment, Zhu Xiaoxiao said, "Of the ten people who entered the building, there were seven men and three women."

"Why would so many women go into this brothel?" Huan'er wondered.

"Let's go in and have a look around."

Gan Cai'er laughed and pulled Zhu Xiaoxiao into the building.
