Han Yuxiu was also a little embarrassed. He knew that Sima Lingchuan was a good person and he shouldn't argue with him, but how could he resist when he saw Wu Ziyan's smiling eyes?

"Ah... okay, I'll go propose after I'm done." Wu Ziyan was forced into this position. When he agreed, Han Yuxiu showed a smile she had never seen before.

Sima Lingchuan felt a moment of disappointment, but he quickly hid it. He put the letter away, knowing it would take him about five or six days to get back. Wu Ziyan also made sure to give him the report she had compiled.

She even wrote a courier letter, asking the owl to deliver it quickly and bring Fang Yuerong over, because with her limited intelligence, she still wasn't quite up to the task.

Sima Lingchuan didn't linger. He originally wanted to rest for the night, but thinking that he should leave early and return early, he set off in the evening.

When Sima Lingchuan left, Wu Ziyan was still full of worries, reluctantly giving him instructions. But when the carriage drove away, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Now that only Han Yuxiu was left, she thought, "Hehe, I can do whatever I want with him!"

Of course, it meant playing in the literal sense. She immediately went back to ask the boss, whispering in her ear, "Boss, is there anything fun to do at night?"

Boss Luo smiled mysteriously: "What? The main wife's gone? Now you can do whatever you want!"

"how do you know?"

"Because we are all women!"

After all, it's a border town, so there are shops that stay open all night. Although Manluo Town is called a town, it's actually quite large, about the size of a county town, with at least twenty streets.

The Xiaojin Cave in Manluo Town is the only four-story building in the town. It is a place where transactions take place underground, gambling is done on the ground floor, singing is performed on the second floor, the third floor is a place that women love to go to, and the fourth floor is a place that can only be accessed by spending tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Wu Ziyan wasn't very interested in the earlier parts, but when she heard that it would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver to go up to the fourth floor, she became very interested.

"Sister, could you take me to see the world?"

"You've lived in that capital city, haven't you ever seen the world?"

Wu Ziyan smiled awkwardly. How could she have time to go to those dens of extravagance? She had never even hired a male singer. Of course, she didn't know if she had ever done so before.

"I have a lot of customers and I'm busy tonight. Shall I have someone take you there?"

Wu Ziyan nodded hurriedly. Han Yuxiu had overheard all of this conversation. As they were about to leave, he slowly said, "Since Master Sima is gone, you've become even more reckless, haven't you! You still want to go to that kind of place."

"Hey, I'm doing this for investigation purposes. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Yu Xiu, do you want to come with me?"

Han Yuxiu snorted but did not refuse. He put on his veil. Wu Ziyan remembered the prize she had begged for while drinking that day, which included a veil. It was made of gold thread and embroidered with exquisite patterns. Besides, she was a young lady and didn't need it.

But because it was thin, she always carried it with her, and it was perfect to give it to Han Yuxiu now.

Han Yuxiu watched as she rummaged through her sleeve pockets and finally pulled out the veil. It was indeed exquisitely beautiful. In the capital, in those high-end embroidery shops and clothing stores, this would be priced at least 10 gold coins.

"Lower your head and wear this, it looks good."

Han Yuxiu discovered that Wu Ziyan had a different persona when she was with each different man. When she was with Sima Lingchuan, she was very respectful, but when she was with him, she became more playful, as if she was not so restrained, and she even teased him all the time.

"No wonder Young Master Changsun said you have a knack for manipulating people's hearts."

Wu Ziyan looked puzzled: ?

"It's nothing. Aren't we going out? Let's go."

Upon hearing that they were going out to play, Wu Ziyan immediately grinned. He had never really had any fun since coming to this place; he had been dealing with all sorts of messes ever since he arrived. Only here could he finally relax.

But the servant who was leading Wu Ziyan saw that Han Yuxiu was also going along. Although many young masters were going there, they were still greeted separately by men and women. He thought to himself, "This is really elaborate!"

Seeing the servant's hesitant expression, Wu Ziyan was determined to spend a fortune to go up to the fourth floor today, and wouldn't linger in the brothels on the second or third floors. But the servant still kindly said, "I'm afraid this young master can't accept that place."

Upon hearing this, Han Yuxiu roughly knew where Wu Ziyan was going. He slowly turned his head towards Wu Ziyan, his eyes practically spitting fire: "Wu Ziyan, have you no shame! You may not mind the filth, but we certainly do!"

Wu Ziyan: "Huh?" What is she doing? Shameless! She wasn't thinking of going outside to find a playboy. She was just curious about what was on the fourth floor.

"Don't go, go back!" Han Yuxiu disregarded his image and grabbed Wu Ziyan's wrist. He already knew that Wu Ziyan was not as strong as him. Wu Ziyan struggled for a while, and her wrist turned red.

She pouted, about to start again, her eyes sparkling: "I'm definitely not going to do anything that would be considered unrefined. I'm just planning to bring you along, isn't that to keep an eye on things?"

Wu Ziyan had mastered every trick in the book when it came to a man's charm, and most importantly, she executed them flawlessly. Han Yuxiu was completely smitten. He huffed and puffed, "If you dare do that kind of thing, I'll..."

Wu Ziyan suddenly moved closer, stood on tiptoe, and stared at him: "What? Are you going to tattle again?"

Wasn't this teasing him? It forced him to recall what had happened back then, and his face immediately turned red. Fortunately, the veil covered his face, so they couldn't see it very clearly.

Without saying a word to Wu Ziyan, he got into the carriage, and Wu Ziyan followed. At this moment, the servant leading the way drove the horse, and the carriage was fast. It felt like they had turned several corners before arriving at their destination.

As soon as we got off the carriage, we saw that the vendors in the vicinity were all hanging lanterns, making it very lively, just like an early morning market. Looking at the only four-story building in the town, each floor was lit up with lanterns, which was quite magnificent.

Then look at the vertical plaque with the three big characters "Silan Pavilion". It has a certain elegance, unlike other places like Cuihong Pavilion or Wanxiang Pavilion, which sound like that kind of business.
