Early the next morning, Lu Jiuchen was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by the noise on the street.
The rain stopped last night and the weather was nice. It was hard to have a few cool days in June. In the second half of the night, he specially ordered someone to open the window to get a good night's sleep.
Yichunyuan usually opens its doors in the afternoon for business. This street has been quiet all morning. No one knows what happened today.
Lu Jiuchen turned over irritably and covered his head with the quilt.
After a while, I was sweating all over, and the movement on the street was still there.
"Who bothered me in my dreams so early in the morning? You're tired of living, aren't you?"
Lu Jiuchen was shirtless and walked to the window cursing. Just as he was about to curse, he suddenly saw a familiar figure with a tense face, standing in the crowd, staring at the corner by the wall.
Lu Jiuchen didn't care at all that he was naked and leaned out to take a look, which caused a burst of laughter from below. One of the men shouted loudly: "It turns out that Young Prince Qing is here too! Did you hear any noise last night?"
Lu Jiuchen took a look. The people around him were all looking for a living. People not far away heard the noise and came over.
He deliberately said with a straight face: "I heard the noise, isn't it your tom named Chun?"
The man who just spoke out is a frequent visitor to the morning market here. Occasionally, he saves some money and comes to Yichun Courtyard to have fun. Therefore, he is familiar with the frequent guest here, Little Prince Qing. From time to time, Lu Jiuchen makes a few harmless jokes. Don't care about them either.
At this time, the man laughed when he heard Lu Jiuchen's words: "There is a cat meowing, but it's a pity that it's not a commoner. The young prince might as well take a look for himself, maybe he actually knows him!"
Lu Jiuchen glanced at Song Qingyou in front of the crowd. He didn't understand why this popular rising official star came here, so he looked over curiously.
Oops! It doesn’t matter if you don’t see it, you will be shocked when you see it!
He thought he had seen it wrong, rubbed his eyes, looked again, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Master Song! Why are you, a newlywed, coming to Yichun Courtyard so early in the morning?"
"Eh? This girl looks familiar! Why does she look like Mrs. Song? You..."
Lu Jiuchen opened his mouth in a deliberately exaggerated manner and said in disbelief: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you couple are really having fun. This couple visiting the brothel is truly unprecedented - the first time in history!"
As soon as Lu Jiuchen's voice fell, there was another burst of laughter on the street.
Song Qingyou's face was like the bottom of a pot.
In front of him, Fu Mingzhu's eyes were closed, her legs were spread wide, her clothes were half hanging on her body, her round shoulders were exposed, and she let out a few moans from time to time.
The homeless man next to him couldn't help but follow in the obscene gestures.
Finally, a nun pushed aside the crowd, still holding the clothes in her hand. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the person lying on the ground. She was so frightened that she dropped the clothes to the ground without even grabbing them.
Song Qingyou shouted: "Why are you still standing there! Take this person back!"
Because of his anger, his voice changed a bit, becoming trembling and sharp.
After saying that, he didn't even want to look at Fu Mingzhu, as if he was some dirty thing, turned around and left. After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and looked upstairs through the crowd.
Lu Jiuchen crossed his arms across his chest, leaned lazily on the window lattice, and smiled provocatively.
Song Qingyou clenched his fists and left.
The woman finally regained her composure and hurriedly picked up her clothes and wrapped them around Fu Mingzhu. She didn't have time to wake her up. With the help of another nanny, she picked up Fu Mingzhu and fled in a hurry.
After such a torment, Fu Mingzhu became somewhat sober. She opened her confused eyes and looked at the street, not understanding what was happening for a while.
Not long after she saw Luo Ran coming down the mountain yesterday, she also followed him down the mountain.
After struggling for a long time but with no success, she was a little unwilling.
Thinking about the way Song Qingyou looked at Luo Ran on the wedding day, she wanted to destroy Luo Ran.
But for some reason, maybe it was because of the rainy day, I felt sleepy just thinking about it, and I fell asleep on the carriage before I knew it.
When she woke up, it was at this moment, in broad daylight, that she was lying almost naked on the street corner. There were three or four sleeping big men next to her, also disheveled. Even a blind man knew what was going on.
Fu Mingzhu wanted to ask, but her voice was hoarse and she couldn't make a sound. She could only listen to the curses around her. She couldn't bear it for a while and fainted again.
It was finally quiet outside. Lu Jiuchen turned around, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly: "Here comes someone!"
The young man who had been waiting at the door for instructions heard the movement and hurriedly came in: "Young prince."
Lu Jiuchen, wearing only a pair of obscene pants, sat carelessly at the Eight Immortals table. He touched the tea, and when he saw that the temperature was just right, he poured himself a cup and said at the same time, "Let someone go check and find out what's going on."
The first thing he thought of was Shen Yuzhi he saw on the street last night.
The boy got the order and quickly ordered people to do it. He helped him dress again and again and said: "Master, Mother Hua is outside and wants to see you."
Lu Jiuchen snorted slightly after hearing this: "It happened under her nose. She doesn't have to be anxious."
The boy was really angry when he saw his master and didn't dare to speak.
After putting on his clothes, Lu Jiuchen sat at the Eight Immortals table, took a sip of tea and said, "Let her in."
Boy: "Hey."
After a while, a woman who was over thirty years old and still charming came in.
The woman has a plump figure and a graceful walk. But the face that used to smile when seeing others was now full of nervousness: "Little Prince."
As soon as she came in, Hua's mother knelt down first: "It was the slave's negligence and she didn't notice..."
Lu Jiuchen raised his hand to interrupt and asked, "Tell me, what just happened outside?"
Seeing that he had no intention of pursuing the matter, Hua's mother breathed a sigh of relief quietly, but she did not dare to be perfunctory and said hurriedly: "At the end of the third watch last night, all the guests and girls in the building had a rest, so I went to ask someone to close the door. Then Before, there was no movement outside.”
Lu Jiuchen nodded. He also asked someone to open the window because he felt hot after sleeping in the middle of the night. He really didn't hear anything.
"Then what?"
Lu Jiuchen asked.
Mother Hua said: "My slave just asked someone to ask those beggars. The beggars said that as soon as it got dark last night, several masked men came to them and gave them thirty taels of silver each, so that..."
Even though she has been in the flesh business for many years, Hua's mother still feels uncomfortable when she thinks of the scene she saw in the morning.
Mother Hua continued: "The beggars took the money and there was a woman to sleep with, so naturally they agreed wholeheartedly. After struggling for half a night, at dawn, they carried the person to the door of our Yichun Courtyard."
Lu Jiuchen frowned: "Is it also those men in black who asked for it?"
Mother Hua nodded: "The beggars said yes."
After Hua's mother left, Lu Jiuchen played with the tea cup in his hand and said nothing for a while.
After breakfast, the people sent out to investigate also came back and explained what they found.
Lu Jiuchen swept the tip of his tongue across the roof of his mouth and chuckled: "So it seems that there were still a lot of people out of the city yesterday?"
The boy said: "Yes. Yesterday Princess Xuan went with Mrs. Shen and Miss Xie, and Mrs. Song went by herself."
After the boy finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Lu Jiuchen, and whispered: "Little prince, do you think this is Mr. Shen..."
