The Jiaofangsi was not a single building, but a large courtyard where ordinary women gathered to do business, but each courtesan had her own private courtyard.

Of course, there was more than one courtesan in the entire Jiaofangsi, so you can imagine how big this courtyard was.

"The whole place was booked out?" Zuan frowned, never expecting to encounter such a thing.

He casually tossed a silver ingot to the servant: "Help me think of a way. It wasn't easy for me to come all this way."

He planned to investigate Cheng Gang and that courtesan to see if he could find any useful information, but why couldn't he even get through the door?

Upon seeing the silver ingot, the servant's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly greeted the servant with a beaming smile: "Please come in, sir. I'll see if I can ask Miss Shuangyue for a favor."

He was then led inside, winding his way to a small courtyard. The courtyard was quite elegant, without much of a feminine atmosphere, making it seem less like a brothel and more like the boudoir of a young lady.

Zu'an was arranged to have tea in the courtyard, and the servant hurriedly went into the room to report.

Inside the inner room, the courtesan Shuangyue was sitting in front of the mirror, dressing up. Beside her, on a couch, lay a woman whose graceful curves and charming temperament were enough to make even women's hearts flutter.

"Shuangyue, you're getting more and more beautiful," the woman on the couch said with a smile, her voice having a captivating and alluring quality.

The courtesan sitting in front of the mirror rolled her eyes: "Miss, you're making fun of me again. How can my looks compare to yours? These people in the capital are so ignorant. If they had seen your beauty back in Mingyue City, they would never have made someone like me the courtesan."

The woman on the couch said with a smile, "Oh, don't underestimate yourself. You have things I can't do, like your catwoman identity, which is a fatal attraction for many men."

The courtesan panicked: "Oh dear, Miss, you're making fun of me."

Just as the two were playfully fighting, there was a knock at the door. The servant announced, "Miss, there is a young master outside who wants to see you."

The courtesan's face darkened: "Are you out of your mind? Don't you know that Young Master Cheng has already booked the whole place today? How dare you bring people in? Did you take his money?"

"I wouldn't dare, I'll go and refuse that young master right away." The servant hurriedly apologized and then left in a hurry.

The woman lying on the couch sat up, stretched lazily, making her chest appear even more prominent and her waist even slimmer: "Look, so many men go through all sorts of troubles to see you, which shows how charming you are."

The courtesan spat, "They're all stinking men."

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore." The woman on the couch put away her smile: "By the way, it seems that Cheng Gang hosted some important people today. If I'm not mistaken, they should be from the Qi King's faction. You must pay attention to what they are discussing."

The courtesan nodded in agreement: "Yes, I have completely gained his trust these past few days, and I will certainly live up to his expectations."

"That's good. I'll go out for a walk and get some fresh air." The woman on the couch stood up.

The courtesan smiled and said, "You'd better be careful. If any of these stinky men see your face, it'll definitely cause a huge uproar."

"You're getting bolder and bolder, huh? You even dare to flirt with me now." The woman snorted and walked out through a side door.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Zu'an frowned upon hearing the servant's report.

The servant said, "How about I introduce you to another courtesan, young master? I guarantee she's no less beautiful than Miss Shuangyue."

He didn't want to offend such a generous fellow, especially since he had already received money from him, so naturally he had to do his job well.

"No need." Zu An shook his head, wondering if he should sneak in again later? Anyway, he could control animals within a certain range, and as long as they weren't too far apart, he should be able to hear what Cheng Gang and the courtesan were talking about.

He subconsciously looked up at the place where the courtesan was on the second floor, and just then he saw a graceful figure walk out.

The figure was initially displeased to find a man staring at him like a pervert, but the next moment he recognized him and a bright smile instantly bloomed on his face.

Zu An smiled slightly and said to the servant beside him, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll sit here for a bit and then leave."

The servant assumed that the young master was reluctant to part with the courtesan of Frost Moon and was hoping to move her by staying. He sneered inwardly, but his face was full of fawning smiles: "Then please do as you please, young master."

After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry, afraid that the other party would remember to ask him for the silver ingot back.

Just then, a fragrant breeze wafted by, and the beautiful figure had already arrived beside Zu An: "What are you doing here?"

Zuan also had a strange expression: "What are you doing here? Could you be that courtesan?"

The beautiful woman before him was none other than Qiu Honglei, who now appeared even more vibrant and alluring under the ambiguous glow of the lanterns in the Jiaofangsi.

However, for some reason, Zuan was quite unhappy.

"Are you jealous?" Qiu Honglei was quick-witted and understood his thoughts in an instant, and said with a smile.

Zu An snorted: "I've heard that the courtesan and the young master of the Cheng family have been getting along very well these days. Did I come at the wrong time?"

Qiu Honglei took his hand from the side and said, "Don't worry, that courtesan isn't me."

Holding her warm and fragrant body, Zu An felt half of his body go limp, and his anger subsided.

Qiu Honglei's eyes suddenly darted around: "Was it you who just bribed the servant to see the courtesan?"

Zuan's smile froze, and he suddenly felt a sense of impending doom. He coughed dryly and said, "Of course it's not me. Am I the kind of person who would pay money to see a courtesan?"
