The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

"Yes, thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. We're closing down now!"

For most people, "closing down" is a bad omen, but for Xia Tongsheng, it seems like a blessing!

Xia Tongsheng wasn't just waiting for Yanxiang to close down so he could make a fortune!

"Yanxiang is closed, aren't you worried at all?" Min Youan frowned, looking at Xia Tongsheng who had a nonchalant expression, and couldn't understand what she was up to!

"What's the rush?"

"Aren't you afraid that Mo Chen will abscond with the money?" Mo Chen's true identity was just exposed and Yanxiang closed down right after. It's hard not to suspect that Mo Chen was behind this.

Xia Tongsheng stretched out her legs, her bare feet on the ground, and replied somewhat dismissively, "If Mo Chen were to abscond with the money, wouldn't that be exactly what you wanted?"

"So, you're saying that closing Yanxiang was your idea?"

Seeing that she wasn't in a hurry at all, Min Youan realized that closing Yanxiang was probably her idea. Otherwise, given how much Xia Tongsheng valued Yanxiang, how could she be so relaxed and stretching?

"Of course!"

"Why are you closing down?!" Didn't you say you were going to run Yanxiang properly? Are you giving up on this bet and not going to protect Mo Chen?

Xia Tongsheng's behavior is getting stranger and stranger!

Why should I tell you! Don't forget, we're adversaries now!

Xia Tongsheng deliberately kept her in suspense, but although she didn't tell Min Youan, given Min Youan's intelligence, Xia Tongsheng knew that Min Youan would guess her true intentions within three days.

Three days later, as the incident of Yanxiang closing down escalated, more and more court officials, under the pretext of caring for the princess and supporting her business, tried to find out about the situation of Yanxiang through Min Youan.

Everyone gathered around Min Yoo-an, chattering amongst themselves...

"I had heard before that Yanxiang's business was not doing well, and I was hoping that the princess could bring Yanxiang back to life!"

"Sigh, I think the princess must have been deceived by the previous owner of Yanxiang, otherwise why would she have taken over such a declining brothel!"

"That's not all! I heard that the previous owner of Yanxiang had harbored criminals. Who would dare to go to Yanxiang now!"

"I don't think so. Since the princess has taken over Yan Lane, she must have her own plans. Otherwise, why would she buy a brothel out of the blue?"

"Your Highness, you must know best what the situation is like in Yanxiang right now!"

Min Youan replied with a dark face, "I'm afraid I'm not as familiar with Yan Xiang as you all are!"

"Your Highness is joking!" everyone responded with awkward laughter.

They had only wanted to find out about Yan Lane, but the prince's words were clearly implied, pointing to their past romantic affairs in Yan Lane!

The group quickly found excuses to disperse!

Unexpectedly, before Min Youan could even move, several ministers who had come out of the main hall later saw him and their eyes lit up as they quickened their pace toward him!

Logically speaking, seeing Min Youan's ugly expression, they should understand how he felt, but some people still foolishly went over to ask him!

As a result, he was glared at by Min Yoo-an!

I don't know how these officials, who are so bad at reading people, manage to survive in the officialdom!

It's ridiculous how people kept asking the prince about the brothel his wife ran!

He stormed home in a rage!

"Hey, Yi Yi, who upset your father? Look at his face, it's as green as if he ate grass!"

“Green!” Min Youan repeated the word emphatically. “I feel all green right now!”

"What's wrong? Who else dares to cuckold the Prince!" Now, only the Sixth Madam and Xia Tongsheng remain in the entire Prince's mansion. The Sixth Madam has already cuckolded the Prince, but Xia Tongsheng hasn't!

Xia Tongsheng recklessly added, "I thought I was so used to being cheated on that I didn't care anymore!"

"Green Habits..."

He doesn't want such a bad habit!

"The reason our guild is so angry is because of your brothel!"

"Yanxiang is closed, how could they possibly offend you!"

"It's because you closed the door that you angered me! Didn't you see all those court officials surrounding me, asking about Yan Lane?"

Xia Tongsheng secretly rejoiced, "Your Highness, calm down!"

"Alright, you've done enough of building up Yanxiang's reputation. When do you plan to open it?" Min Youan continued, "Although you want to attract attention through such extreme methods, be careful not to overdo it. People are always forgetful, and the longer it goes on, the easier it is to be forgotten!"

"Don't worry, I've already set the opening time: the eighth day of the eighth lunar month!" She made the number eight with her right hand and waved it in front of Min You'an's eyes twice. "How about it? Isn't this auspicious date?"

She seemed to be deliberately provoking him, her eyes subtly saying, "Look, I've already told you when I'm opening, so come and cause trouble if you dare!"

"It's always better to keep a low profile when doing things!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely keep a low profile!"

To believe that Xia Tongsheng would keep a low profile is like believing that pigs can fly!

It's almost the end of July, and Xia Tongsheng should start working on the grand plan for the opening of Yanxiang!

She went to see the finished renovation in advance and was very satisfied with the results. The designs in the four aspects of crosstalk, skits, drama, and song and dance were exactly what she wanted!

"Mo Chen, you've worked hard!"

Mo Chen did not boast of his achievements, but simply replied, "It's my duty!"

"We'll be reopening in 7 days. Are you nervous?"

The way this question was asked made Mo Chen feel a little strange, and a chill ran down his spine!

"nervous!"

Xia Tongsheng patted his shoulder to comfort him, "It's normal to be nervous, but don't worry, you're an experienced old man, nothing serious will happen!"

Mo Chen shook his head and said seriously, "I'm nervous not because there are so many people, but because of you!"

"I?"

"I'm afraid you'll sell me out again..."

Xia Tongsheng mocked him for being petty, "It's just that I pushed you to a bunch of little girls when we opened last time, why are you still holding a grudge against me?"

If other men could be surrounded by so many beautiful women, they would be overjoyed and running off to have fun. Why does Mo Chen look so unwilling?

"Don't dare!"

"Alright, I won't let you go selling this time. Anyway, you have so many good-looking subordinates, you can just grab any one of them!"

That being said, Mo Chen, as the most handsome man in Yanxiang, had long been the object of pursuit for many women in the capital.

Everyone knows that there's a handsome young man at the eyeliner shop, so there's no need for Mo Chen to keep standing at the door soliciting customers!

It can even work indoors...

As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush!
