Chapter 650 A Fallen Man

"Tomorrow night, I will come to your residence to pick you up and take you to Wenjun Tower to broaden your horizons. How about we order this peacock?"

The elder brother is still pretending to be someone else. Not only did he marry a commoner woman, but he also got involved with Lin Shusheng. Qi Heng is even more stubborn and recently partnered with Zi Yuan to make fake antiques, which has cheated many officials and attracted their attention.

Even if he doesn't go, when Lin Yuesha arrives at Wenjun Tower, given Ziyuan's wicked nature, she'll still arrange for Kongque to entertain guests.

"Four hundred taels of silver?"

Lin Yuesha felt heartbroken. For her, Wenjun Tower was not a place for the poor to enter; it was too corrupt!

The problem was that she couldn't do anything underhanded; she only needed someone to cover for her. But when she heard from the Prince of Luo that this person had only been listed for three days, she exclaimed in surprise, "Besides Wenjun, who else has been so free to sell themselves to Wenjun Tower?"

"Yes and no."

Luo Wang explained to Lin Yuesha that Wenjun was the star attraction of Wenjun Tower, and she could only maintain her mystery by occasionally seeing guests. Most of the other male prostitutes were boys from poor families who were sold by human traffickers or kidnapped.

"In addition, Wenjun Tower also accepts good-looking men. These men are willing to come to Wenjun Tower to sell their smiles and can work short-term jobs, with a minimum of three days."

Wenjunlou was very flexible in his personnel management.

Ziyuan, that shrewd and calculating person, is the best at extracting value from everyone.

Some good-looking men, due to financial constraints, have considered going into prostitution, but once they do, they can't get out, and they find it difficult to make a decision.

Lin Yuesha seemed to understand. Wenjunlou was also hiring temporary workers, allowing fallen men to make quick money. Wenjunlou would collect high commissions, and then the two would never see each other again after settling the payment.

"Lin girl, you're really ignorant."

The Wenjunlou model is fair enough; people can come and go as they please, and if they don't feel they can make money, they can leave. Moreover, Wenjunlou supports a large number of people.

"Doing this kind of shady business is something to brag about?"

Lin Yuesha was increasingly shocked; her values ​​were completely different from those of the people of Daqi. Voluntary involvement was one thing, but there were people who specifically sought out prostitutes for money, searching for fallen men in gambling dens and other similar establishments. If a man was good-looking and short of money, he could be brought to Wenjun Tower.

Thinking about it, she also admired the owner of Wenjunlou.

"Not all of them are prostitutes; those with talent can also sell their talents at Wenjun Tower."

Lacking talent and learning, she could only sell her beauty; Wenjunlou was the best brothel in the capital.

"So, are you after her beauty or her talent?"

Lin Yuesha wanted to find out more, since staying overnight would cost extra.

"I did it for fun."

To be honest, as Qi Heng's uncle, there was no reason for him not to participate in Qi Heng's shining moments.

"Rich people always have such strange and wonderful fun."

Lin Yuesha breathed a sigh of relief that she could stay overnight without paying. She heard that the person who came to register was a poor scholar who probably couldn't afford to take the imperial examinations and had no choice but to embark on a path of no return for the sake of money for pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"He was lucky to run into us."

Lin Yuesha sighed, realizing she wouldn't lay a finger on that person. After calling the people up, she went to find Qin Nanyan.

"Lin girl, Wenjun Tower has all kinds of beauties, plump and slender. You should broaden your horizons and see the world. From now on, ordinary looks will no longer be appealing."

Luo Wang continued to urge Lin Yuesha on, but Lin Yuesha shook her head. He had never cared much about appearance; otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen for the pockmarked face in the first place.

Having such a scumbag father proves that good looks are unreliable; on the contrary, being less attractive means you won't be targeted and will be safer.

"As the saying goes, one's appearance reflects one's heart. How kind can those who are ugly be?"

Luo Wang argued with Lin Yuesha, but she didn't respond.

The carriage traveled for more than half an hour before arriving at the manor where Yan Yan lived.

As night fell, the Prince of Luo sent his men to announce the arrival of the young lady. The gatekeeper replied, "Our young lady is not at the estate. Around dusk, a woman in a neighboring village had a difficult childbirth, and her family took her there."

Difficult childbirth is very dangerous, and both mother and child could die at any time. Yan Yan did not delay and rode her horse straight to the neighboring village. She has not returned yet.

"You want to see my young lady?"

The old man carefully examined the newcomers, and then, upon seeing the carriage bearing the insignia of the Prince of Luo's residence, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Highness..."

"Uncle, I am Lin Yuesha. I'm here to see Sister Yan about something."

Yan Yan rescued someone in a neighboring village, which made Lin Yuesha very hesitant. If she went to find someone, what would happen to the woman who was having a difficult childbirth?

Whose life isn't life? If she had to choose, she would ask King Luo to introduce her to a doctor who knows how to treat external injuries.

"Although the young lady is not at home, Physician Liao is a guest."

The old man hesitated for a moment, thinking that it might be inconvenient for Doctor Liao to help with childbirth.

"He's here? That's even better! Help me send a message to Doctor Liao!"

Lin Yuesha clapped her hands. She and Liao Jianghan were old acquaintances, and since her scumbag father was a man, it would be easier for Doctor Liao to treat the knife wound.

The old gatekeeper didn't dare to delay. After waiting for a while, Doctor Liao came out with his medicine box.

"Quickly, get in the carriage and talk."

Lin Yuesha led the man onto the carriage, asked Prince Luo for paper and pen, and drew the location where Lin Shusheng was stabbed.

The dagger was stuck quite deep, so no one dared to make any rash moves, as pulling it out would surely cause severe bleeding.

"Don't worry, there's no danger in this location."

Liao Langzhong felt that the problem was not serious, so he didn't understand why Lin Yuesha had gone to such lengths to ask Yan Yan for help.

"Because...it's shameful."

Lin Yuesha gave Doctor Liao a knowing look, telling him to treat the wound however painful it might be, so that her scumbag father should suffer.

Are you sure?

Liao Langzhong understood and frankly admitted, "I didn't bring any anesthetic."

"Excellent!"

Lin Yuesha clapped her hands. When sewing, she chose a thick needle. She planned to stay up all night, focusing on listening to Lin Shusheng's pig-like screams.

"As you wish."

After Liao Langzhong and Lin Yuesha reached a consensus, they refrained from saying too much because of the presence of Prince Luo and Xu Da.

He had no choice but to hide with Yan Yan. Recently, whenever he went to his family's shop, Bai Youran would always manage to create a chance encounter.

For some reason, the Bai family found a way through his uncle and seemed to be interested in bringing him and Bai Youran together.

Liao Jianghan was only interested in medical skills and had a detached personality. He had previously been indifferent to Bai Youran, but after learning about what she had done, he looked down on her.

Bai Youran took a liking to him because his uncle, who held a second-rank official position, had no son and had always wanted to adopt him.

He knew exactly what was going on behind the scenes.

They arrived at the Lin residence in silence, where Lin Yuesha expressed her gratitude to Prince Luo and Xu Da.

Upon hearing that Lin Yuesha had been taken away by the Prince of Luo, Lin Shusheng's thoughts began to stir again.

The marriage between Lin Yue'e and the Wei family is unchangeable. If Lin Yuesha has the opportunity to become the Princess Consort of Luo, then his official position can be promoted again.

Therefore, Old Madam Lin personally went to the gate of the mansion with her maids and servants to wait for them. When she saw Lin Yuesha getting off the carriage with Physician Liao, she hurriedly said, "Yuesha, you girl, why don't you thank the Prince!"

"No need to thank me, I've already expressed my gratitude."

Therefore, Lin Yuesha will have to pay out of her own pocket to treat Prince Luo to a meal at Wenjun Tower tomorrow.
