I just want to live a good life

Chapter 199 Redeeming the Oiran

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

Leng Yue has made a lot of enemies in Wanjin Building. Once one person starts to expose her negative information, a group of people will rush to list her faults.

So from the oral accounts of these girls, Su Nuan roughly understood everything about this Miss Leng Yue, at least everything she showed to outsiders.

Leng Yue is twenty-two years old this year, which is not considered young in a brothel, but she is born with a charming face that makes anyone fall in love with her.

As the most beautiful woman in Wanjinlou, some people are willing to spend a fortune to get her.

However, Leng Yue is a special existence in Wanjinlou. She can choose her own guests. Those who are pleasing to her will be invited into her room to listen to her play a song. Those who are not pleasing to her will not be even glanced at by her even if she gives them a fortune.

If she had only heard these, Su Nuan would have regarded Leng Yue as a graceful white lotus that was stuck in the mud but remained untainted.

But it is obvious that this Miss Lengyue is not simple.

Someone saw her being carried away in a sedan chair covered with red silk in the middle of the night, and was carried back at night a few days later.

What could a woman from a brothel do when she was carried away? The girl who saw it didn't say anything, but everyone showed an expression of "you know".

Moreover, Leng Yue has a regular lover who comes to see her secretly every once in a while.

That person probably didn't have much money, and every time he came to see Leng Yue, he would climb through the window. Someone had seen what that person looked like, and he looked like a handsome scholar.

Leng Yue has another secret, which was discovered by the girl with the oval face. She has a house in Fenglin Town, which is a three-courtyard house located at the northernmost end of the town. Leng Yue would go there to live for a few days every once in a while.

Su Nuan just listened silently. She knew that Leng Yue and Xun Zheng were inextricably linked, so what the girls said had a different meaning in her eyes.

She guessed that Leng Yue was a chess piece arranged by Xun Zheng here, perhaps to help her collect evidence, or perhaps for some other purpose.

She was not the only one who had this idea, Ye Yin also guessed the same.

So when Mu Yunting and Miss Leng Yue appeared in front of them, they were caught off guard.

Both of them have seen Xun Zheng. Ye Yin saw her eight years ago, and Su Nuan saw her a few hours ago.

Their first reaction was that this Miss Leng Yue looked too much like Xun Zheng!

However, before the two of them could recover from their shock, Mu Yunting announced another decision: he would redeem Miss Leng Yue.

The madam was very happy and asked for three thousand taels of silver.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can certainly come up with three thousand taels of silver, but his purse is not with him.

So Mu Yunting stared at the purse in Su Nuan's hand.

Three thousand taels, Su Nuan really didn't want to pay this money. No matter from which emotional point of view, she was unwilling to do so.

Seeing that she was holding the purse tightly and glaring at him, Mu Yunting felt uncomfortable for a moment.

He turned to the madam and said, "The money is with my wife, ask her for it."

After saying that, he actually took Leng Yue away.

Ye Yin weighed the pros and cons for a moment, and finally decided to stay to protect Concubine Xia, and ordered Falcon and Liefeng to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and leave.

Su Nuan had been generous before, and the madam had no doubt that Su Nuan would default on her debt. After letting Mu Yunting, Leng Yue and their group go, she faced Su Nuan with a smile.

"Madam, please think about it. What man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? The girls in this brothel are just playthings. Men bring them home just for the novelty. They can't even be concubines. When the novelty wears off, whether they stay or go is up to you, Madam.

Three thousand taels to buy me a toy, I can praise you for being generous, this deal is not a loss. "

In the eyes of the madam, a woman who can come to a brothel to "learn skills" for a man must be one who regards the man as her god and tries her best to please him. Not only can she gain favor with three thousand taels, but she will not pose any threat to her status. This is more cost-effective than buying and selling.

Su Nuan certainly didn't know what the madam was thinking, but she didn't want to get her way and pay out three thousand taels for nothing. Although the money belonged to Mu Yunting, Mu Yunting gave her the power to manage the household, so she had to control the money.

"What kind of wealthy family would spend three thousand taels to buy a toy?"

"Miss Leng Yue is the most beautiful lady in our Wan Jin Lou. How many people would not be able to buy her a smile even with three thousand taels of silver."

"How could you bear to let her redeem herself when she is so valuable?"

"Isn't it Miss Leng Yue who likes her? I can only keep her by force, but not her heart. It's better to let her redeem herself and leave. To be honest with you, Madam, although Leng Yue is valuable, she has to pay a monthly share in my building. She has made a lot of money over the years, but she didn't give me much.

She spends a lot of money in this building every month. If you really calculate it, I'm losing money on her."

"Do you believe what you said? Even a woman like me can see that Miss Leng Yue is a cash cow."

The madam looked as if she had a lot of grievances to express, but Su Nuan thought she was just pretending.

Since Leng Yue is related to Xun Zheng, her redemption today must have been a planned plan. Even if she didn't have to pay one or two taels of silver, she would still follow Mu Yunting. The person behind the scenes actually wanted her to pay three thousand taels. It was simply a pipe dream.

"To tell you the truth, I will not redeem Leng Yue. Now she has left with my master. If you have the ability, keep me here to pay off the debt. If not, go to the police."

"lady!"

Ye Yin reminded them that they were traveling in secret this time and it would be troublesome if they alerted the authorities.

Su Nuan's beautiful eyes widened, and she said unhappily, "What? You're the one who pays the three thousand taels?"

Ye Yin remained silent. He didn't have three thousand taels.

"You want to default on your debt to my Wanjinlou? Why don't you find out who our boss is?"

The madam snorted twice, clapped her hands and called in a row of thugs.

On the second floor, I didn't hear any unusual sounds just now. It seems that the old procuress has been ready to take action for a long time.

But with Ye Yin around, Su Nuan was not afraid at all. She even wanted to take real action.

"Then who is the owner of your Wanjin Building?"

"Hehe, that's someone you can't afford to offend."

"Then do you know who I am?" Su Nuan narrowed her eyes and stared at the madam, exuding a dangerous aura.

"lady!"

Ye Yin reminded again that even if they were not afraid of exposing their whereabouts, they had to let people know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince visited a brothel and wanted to redeem the courtesan. If the concubine refused to pay, the censors would have to report His Royal Highness to the Emperor.

"I don't care who you are. If you dare to take my Wanjinlou's people away without paying, don't even think about leaving, even if the king of heaven comes."

The madam's eyes gradually became fierce.

Su Nuan turned around and grinned at Ye Yin, "Look, she doesn't know who I am, so what are we waiting for? Let's run!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Nuan took a step and ran out.
