"Young master, are we... are we really going to go in?"

Cai Die was somewhat uneasy. After all, in all her years, just hearing the name of a brothel could conjure up hundreds of unpleasant stories. Even men might not escape unscathed, let alone women disguised as men. Most importantly, this was a den of iniquity; if the Empress found out they frequented a brothel, they might have no means of support in the future.

In short, it boils down to two words: no money!

Xiang Wan tapped Cai Die on the head with her fan and laughed, "Cai Die, we're here to spend money, we're the big shots. Besides," she glanced at Yun Jun, "someone's treating us today, you know?"

The second prince paused, his lips twitching.

He finally realized that his sister had come here specifically to trick him.

She threatened him in broad daylight to take her to brothels. After much pleading and persuasion, she insisted on going to various pharmacies and ironware shops. Not only did she play around, but she also ordered a whole bunch of random things, and he ended up paying for everything.

She wanted to use the fact that her beloved Cheng Yuqing was still poisoned as an excuse, but instead, she directly shifted the blame to her father, saying that as long as she lived in the Cheng residence, her father would definitely send his personal guards to protect her.

So, she found someone she liked, and now it's all the Emperor's fault? Where can she go to seek justice?

He just didn't understand. Wasn't a courtesan just a pretty woman? What was so attractive about her?

However, Xiang Wan insisted on going. If he knew about this and did nothing, he would not be able to get past his mother.

As evening approached, he took Xiang Wan back to the mansion to change her clothes before heading to Ruyi Tower.

With a slight alteration, he became Young Master Jun, and Xiang Wan became his younger brother, Young Master Xiang. Together with Cai Die and his servant, the four of them traveled together.

Four young women stood at the entrance of Ruyi Tower, dressed in their finest attire and exuding a strong sense of cosmetics. Their eyes lit up immediately upon seeing Yun Jun and her group approaching.

They've met hundreds, if not thousands, of people, and they can recognize at a glance who's rich and powerful and who's pampered.

Today we have a big customer. The one in front, who looks about seventeen or eighteen, is definitely someone who's willing to spend money. The one behind him has delicate skin and a very feminine appearance; she's most likely here to learn about matters of the heart. It's their first time here, so if we serve them well, we might be able to sit back and count our money for the next few months.

The girl named Cui'er, who greeted people at the door, warmly pulled them inside. The other girls, not wanting to be left behind, crowded around, their chests practically brushing against each other's arms.

Xiang Wan remained calm, but her second brother seemed a little uncomfortable. His face flushed slightly, and he dodged awkwardly, occasionally glaring at her.

It's really interesting that a grown man isn't as composed as she is.

Since they were there to pay the bill, Xiang Wan stopped the group of female hooligans and took out a silver ingot, saying, "Please, we need to see the madam."

Cui'er snatched the silver away and said quickly, "Young master, you're too kind. It's not difficult to see your mother. I'll take you there."

Xiang Wan nodded and followed Cui'er upstairs to the second floor.

Yun Jun was a little stunned. How come it felt like this girl was even more skilled at it than he was?

With a dark expression, he pushed Yingying and Yanyan aside and followed behind Xiang Wan.

The servant and Cai Die hurriedly chased after them, fearing that they would be surrounded by the group as soon as their master left.

The madam was meeting with an important guest when Cui'er called out several times at the door before she reluctantly walked out of the room.

"What's all the fuss about? You've delayed my business. Can you afford to offend me?"

Cui'er was secretly annoyed. She was trying to bring business to Ruyi Tower, and she had never seen a customer come to the door only to be treated unwelcomely by the master. But thinking about when she would be able to save enough money to redeem herself, she suppressed her displeasure and leaned closer to whisper, "Mama, there are two virgins who have come to have their first taste of meat. They have plenty of money and immediately asked you for help. They are big customers."

The madam glanced at Yun Jun and Xiang Wan, a smile spreading across her face. "Oh dear, look at my forgetfulness! I didn't even realize we had such distinguished guests. But I have another guest waiting in the room. Why don't you two wait in a private room? I'll have someone serve you some of the finest Longjing tea. You can drink it first, and later I'll have two beautiful girls sing you some songs to keep you entertained."

“Brother, she looks down on you!” Xiang Wan turned to Yun Jun and raised an eyebrow. “We’re offering this business to her door, and the madam won’t serve us. Could it be that she has someone richer than us in her house? I want to see for myself.”

Before the madam could react, Xiang Wan ducked down and pushed the door open to go inside.

The madam, who was too late to stop them, turned pale. She didn't even bother scolding Cui'er for being so tactless; she turned around and tried to kick Xiang Wan out.

That unfortunate child was incredibly curious; that's exactly what she was like. The madam was furious with her, but her biggest worry was the person inside. She hadn't stopped her; who knew what kind of scolding she'd receive later? She cursed Cui'er again, then quickly bolted the door shut, keeping everyone else outside.

"Young master, you cannot come in. This is not a guest room!"

Yun Jun's face turned ugly. If he had known that bringing a girl in would lead to this result, why would he have bothered?

His talent for causing trouble didn't diminish with age; on the contrary, it only improved. What was he, as the older brother, supposed to do?

Since the person had already gone inside, Yun Jun couldn't leave, so she stood at the door and kept knocking, determined to get the person out.

After entering, Xiang Wan went straight to the bedroom in the inner room.

The tea was still warm on the table by the window, but the person was gone. The window was wide open, and even with her quick reflexes, she only caught a glimpse of a purple figure flashing past the street corner.
