Chapter 33 The girl in the brothel is really beautiful
Liu Mingyue avoided the eyes of the servants in the mansion, returned to the yard, and pushed the door open to enter the house. Guihua and Huasheng were worried that their master's absence would be discovered, so they were nervous. Suddenly, someone opened the door and came in. They both stood up in fright.
"It's me." It was Liu Mingyue's slightly hoarse voice.
The two maids were overjoyed when they heard their master's voice and hurried out to greet her: "Madam, you are back!"
Liu Mingyue closed the door and nodded. As Guihua and Huasheng approached, they smelled the smell of alcohol on their master.
"I'll go to the kitchen quietly to make a bowl of sobering tea. You take care of the lady first." Peanut said as he picked up the lantern by the door and hurried to the kitchen to make sobering tea.
Hangover tea is not a rare thing and is easy to make using a small stove.
Not long after, Huasheng came in with some sobering tea, and Guihua had already helped Liu Mingyue wash her face.
"Madam, didn't you go to check the accounts? Why did you come back so late? You even smelled of alcohol. Could it be that you ran into someone who came to discuss business on your way to Ruyi Pavilion, and that's why you got stuck?"
Huasheng handed the teacup to Liu Mingyue, and asked incoherently. This was not because she was gossipy, but because she was worried about Liu Mingyue.
Ruyi Pavilion's business is one of the best among the jewelry shops in Beijing. It is not uncommon for people to come and discuss business while checking the accounts.
In the past, whenever Liu Mingyue went to the store to do something, she would go and talk to someone in person. Osmanthus and Peanuts thought the same thing when they smelled the alcohol on her.
As a result, Liu Mingyue said something shocking. She burped after drinking the hangover tea, and her cheeks turned red. She propped up her chin, looked lazy, and smiled, "I went to drink wine."
The words "flowers and wine" had the effect of stirring up a thousand waves in the ears of Peanut and Osmanthus.
Peanut and Osmanthus widened their eyes and looked at their master in shock. The master was a woman!
"You, you disguised yourself as a man, but you are actually a woman. How can you drink wine?"
Peanut was so shocked that she began to stutter. If her master hadn't said it herself, she would never have believed it.
Ever since she started serving her master, he had always followed the rules and rarely went beyond them. Even though she had been wronged in the mansion recently and had become a little different from before, Huasheng thought it was reasonable.
Drinking wine for prostitutes is not something the master would do at all. It is both absurd and unbelievable.
"It's just drinking and listening to music, not doing anything else." Liu Mingyue laughed, "But the girls in the brothel are really beautiful, each with their own charm. If I were a man, I would also be moved by them."
She staggered on the edge of the bed, talking nonsense, which made Huasheng and Guihua a little confused.
Peanut looked at Osmanthus with hesitation, and swallowed his words when Osmanthus' eyes stopped him. However, the two of them had the same idea in their minds.
Is it that the lady in my family often dresses up as a man for business, and after doing so many times, she really wants to be a man?
"Today I played a piece of music for that zither girl. She is indeed a prostitute in the brothel. She is amazing. The music is so melodious while enjoying the flowers. It's a pity that such a talented girl has fallen into prostitution."
As Liu Mingyue spoke, her tone changed from joking at the beginning to a somewhat sad tone.
She was not completely unaware of the expression of the zither player. When she realized that she really wanted to listen to the music, the zither player played very devotedly, obviously treating her as a soulmate.
The women in brothels have miserable fates, but in that place, you can only hear laughter but not see the blood and tears behind them.
Liu Mingyue was feeling lost, while Guihua and Huasheng were still worried that their master was interested in the girls in the brothel. They didn't know how they checked the account, but the wine went to the brothel. The master should not really like a woman.
"Madam, the world knows a lot about the love between men and women, but there are many criticisms about the friendship between women. You should be more cautious... You pretend to be a man outside, but you are not a real man after all. Don't be foolish."
Peanut tried to persuade Liu Mingyue as tactfully as possible, hoping that his master would listen to him.
Liu Mingyue was drunk at the moment, her head was dizzy, and she couldn't even hear Huasheng's words completely.
Furthermore, these two little girls often have wild thoughts, and Liu Mingyue is used to it.
She didn't care what Guihua and Huasheng were thinking. She took off her coat and threw it aside, took off her shoes and socks, and turned over in her arms under the quilt.
"You've all been waiting for me until this time today, you must have been tired, go to rest early." Liu Mingyue waved her hands vaguely. When she drank, it would take an hour or so for her to react.
Although the alcohol took a long time to take effect, it was very strong. Liu Mingyue hugged the quilt and smelled a familiar scent. She was already very drunk. She ignored Huasheng and Guihua and fell asleep.
But after a while, the sound of Liu Mingyue's even breathing could be heard, and Guihua and Huasheng felt ashamed.
"Madam...just fell asleep like that?" Peanut held the lamp and moved closer. He found that the person was indeed asleep and smiled helplessly.
When it comes to his drunken streak, the master is still the same as before.
"Madam, you have drunk wine, and I am worried about you. I will keep watch tonight. When you wake up tomorrow, I will take care of you and then I will go to rest."
Guihua helped Liu Mingyue put away the quilt and asked Huasheng to go back and rest first. The master was drunk, so someone had to stay in the room.
Because she drank at night and the alcohol took a long time to take effect, when Liu Mingyue woke up the next day, it was already noon. No one in the mansion cared about the master, so Guihua and Huasheng simply did not wake the master up.
Unexpectedly, today, the marquis's wife suddenly remembered this person. When Liu Mingyue finished washing up and had not had time to eat a few bites of breakfast, the marquis's wife sent a hunter to deliver a message.
"The Crown Prince's Consort is really free. She has only just started breakfast. I guess she has long forgotten to pay her respects to the Madam."
As soon as the nanny opened her mouth, she started to criticize Liu Mingyue with sarcasm and force. Liu Mingyue thought to herself that it was impossible for a dog to spit out ivory.
She didn't go to pay respects to the Marquis' wife, but it was the Marquis' wife who ordered it. Why is she bringing this up now? She just had nothing else to do and wanted to take her back to teach her a lesson.
"Madam, you're right. I was negligent. I'll go to pay my respects to my mother right away." Liu Mingyue took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth, stood up and asked Huasheng to help her change her clothes.
When they arrived at the Marquis's courtyard, she was already sitting in the front hall with a gloomy face. Liu Mingyue pretended not to see her gloomy face and bowed her head and saluted: "Daughter-in-law greets Madam."
She also feared that the other party might not want to call her mother, and she didn't want to do that either, so she just called her Madam.
"You are such a proud daughter of the Zhou family. You come to my mansion and act like a master. What new bride is like you? As a newly married woman, you should serve your parents-in-law and husband well, and manage your servants well."
