This time, the trip outside the palace took place during the day. The red-light district is usually open at night, so it was rather deserted during the day.

Yao Yao arrived at the entrance of Zui Chun Ge, but this time it wasn't the madam standing there, but someone else.

The girl's eyes lit up when she saw Yaoyao. "This young master is really handsome. I will definitely treat you well when you come to our Zuichun Pavilion."

Yao Yao ignored him and said, "I'm here to meet your mother. Could you please introduce me?"

The girl waved her sleeve sullenly, giving a knowing look. Yao Yao then handed her a gold ingot, and her face lit up with a smile. "Young master, you really are something. Since you have asked me for something, I will definitely do my best to help you."

A few quarters of an hour later, the madam came to Yaoyao and naturally recognized her.

"Oh, it's you, young master. What brings you here today? If you like me, I'm happy to do it myself."

Yao Yao shuddered when she saw the thick layer of makeup the madam had applied; she had no interest in that kind of makeup.

"I've come to acquire your Zuichun Pavilion."

The madam covered her face and chuckled, "What are you saying, young master? Do you think it's that easy to buy our Drunken Spring Pavilion?"

However, the rubbing of those two fingers shouldn't be too obvious.

Yaoyao remained unmoved like a mountain; "eight thousand taels"

"Young master is so generous; he gave away eight thousand taels in one go."

Yao Yao naturally understood the madam's unspoken meaning: she felt the money wasn't enough.

With a slight smile, Yao Yao said, "As far as I know, your Zui Chun Lou business is getting worse and worse these days, and you only make a few dollars a year." She held up a few fingers.

Then, calmly, he said, "Ten thousand taels, what do you think, Mother?"

The madam could tell at a glance that the woman had come prepared for the "deal."

After handing over the land deeds, account books, and the indentures of the young ladies to Yaoyao, he took the ten thousand taels and left.

As she left, she winked at Yaoyao, saying, "If you're willing, young master, I can also spend a night with you."

Yao Yao naturally didn't give her a pleasant look.

They sent someone to summon Suzhi.

"Young master, no, I should call you master now."

Su Zhi's expression was complicated; she hadn't expected that this person would actually buy Zui Chun Lou.

"Miss Suzhi, I have bought this place. Would you be willing to be my caretaker here?"

"Why me?" Su Zhi lowered her eyes.

"Because I saw the unwillingness and ambition in your eyes, and I believed you could do it."

Su Zhi chuckled lightly, "Aren't you curious about my background?"

Yao Yao didn't care. "What's there to be curious about? Now that you're here, it's destined to be unrelated to the past. So why bother?"

"Yeah... so what's there to worry about?"

After Yaoyao and Suzhi reached an agreement, Suzhi successfully became the new mother of Zuichunlou.

"Young master, are you sure you want to do this?"

"That's right, it's a man's inherent weakness. Just do as I say."

...

After leaving Zuichunlou, Yaoyao leisurely strolled around the streets.

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and looked at the boy staring straight at her from the side.

It's the person we rescued before.

Yao Yao approached the boy and asked, "Have you been waiting for me here all this time?"

The boy didn't speak, but kept staring at Yao Yao. Yao Yao didn't know why she wanted to laugh.

"You've been waiting for me? What if I hadn't come?"

I will wait forever.

Yao Yao was momentarily stunned. "Pfft, you're not going to treat me like this just because I helped you? You want to repay my kindness?"

"Hmm!" The boy's eyes were clear.

After thinking it over, Yao Yao realized that Xiao Dezi was currently her only confidant, so she decided to cultivate another one.

"Okay, but you have to be able to endure hardship."

"I can endure hardship, and I'm not afraid of hardship."

Yao Yao patted his head, which was unexpectedly soft. "Silly child."

Then they handed him over to the Qilin Guards and told them to train him like a new recruit.
