The door to the private room was kicked open by Su Yulan.
"Qin Minglang, get out here right now."
Gillian Chung, sitting and drinking tea, had her clothes half-revealed.
"Oh dear, why are you so fierce? You've frightened me."
Su Yulan angrily looked around and soon saw Qin Minglang lying naked on the bed, fast asleep.
She felt like a ball of fire was burning her head, so she rushed over and slapped him several times across the face.
Qin Minglang was in pain, and his head was still spinning.
He grabbed Su Yulan's hand and rubbed it against his own lips.
"Qingwan, after you hit me, you're not allowed to be angry with me anymore, okay? I love you, I cherish you..."
As he spoke, he pulled the person into his arms and pressed them down.
Su Yulan was furious.
She never expected that Qin Minglang not only frequented brothels, but also had his heart set on that bitch Jiang Qingwan.
She immediately pulled out the hairpin and stabbed it hard into his shoulder.
This time, Qin Minglang was truly awake.
Looking at the furious Su Yulan with fear, he subconsciously knelt on the bed, and the chilly feeling all over his body made him immediately lower his head.
Only then did he realize that all his clothes had been stripped off.
Not only that, there were also a bunch of red marks left by women who had kissed them.
Gillian Chung waved her handkerchief and winked at him.
"My lord, you're awake. Have I served you well?"
Memories surged back.
Qin Minglang was extremely anxious.
"Shut up!"
He hurriedly pulled on his pants, not caring that his outer shirt was already in disarray.
"Madam, Lan'er, please let me explain. I... I just had a little wine, I didn't do anything."
Su Yulan's face turned ashen with anger.
She was still clutching the bloodstained hairpin in her hand, her eyes were red-rimmed, and she wished she could kill him right then and there.
Gillian Chung, standing to the side, laughed heartily.
"Lord Qin is right. He really did nothing because he's useless."
The unrestrained mockery enraged Qin Minglang, who rushed over and grabbed her by the neck.
"You're asking for it!"
Gillian Chung was lifted up so high that she looked like she was about to roll her eyes back.
The madam burst in with two guards.
"You dare to kill someone in my Chunxiang Courtyard? Aren't you afraid I'll report you to the authorities?"
The door was not closed, and quite a few people had already gathered at the entrance.
Su Yulan felt ashamed and immediately covered her face with her sleeve, angrily rebuking Qin Minglang.
"Let go now."
Qin Minglang was also aware of the consequences of making this matter escalate.
He angrily threw the person on the ground.
The madam, being quite sensible, ordered her guards to close the door and went straight to the table to sit down.
Gillian was crying and lying by her legs.
"Granny, you must do justice for Ajiao!"
The madam pinched her cheek and clicked her tongue twice.
"Look what you've done to our Ajiao's neck! Lord Qin, even though you are a court official, you can't be so unreasonable."
"You drank and slept with girls but didn't pay them. Now, your wife has you cornered in bed, and you want to kill the girl to silence her. This is the capital, right under the Emperor's nose! You're completely disregarding the law!"
"Even if we take a step back and assume you don't have that ability, Gillian's body is covered with the marks you created. Even if you didn't go that far, you played with her to the fullest extent."
Upon hearing this, Gillian immediately tore open her top, leaving only her undergarment.
His chest, collarbone, and waist were covered in hickeys and handprints.
This clearly demonstrates the intensity of the previous events.
Gillian cried with tears streaming down her face.
"Lord Qin, you were kissing and touching me while calling me Qingwan. Did I say anything wrong?"
Qin Minglang's face turned bright red.
"You're talking nonsense! I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything at all."
Su Yulan was almost passing out.
Right now, we can't let more people know that Qin Minglang is impotent, and we can't let people know that Qin Minglang goes to brothels without paying.
She gripped the hairpin tightly and asked.
"Tell me, how much silver do you want?"
The madam's face was all wrinkled from smiling, and her makeup was almost impossible to hold on.
“Madam is very sensible. We who sell ourselves know best what we should and shouldn’t say. We are already so pitiful. As long as the money is right, I guarantee that no outsider will know what happened to Lord Qin in Chunxiang Courtyard.”
She held out a hand as she spoke.
Five thousand taels.
This amount was like a knife to Qin Minglang's heart.
He just wasted 10,000 taels of silver on a worthless map and got nothing in return.
They are currently in a state of panic, not knowing where to raise the money.
Who would have thought that after having a drink, he would be extorted for another five thousand taels of silver.
How could I be so unlucky?
He looked at Su Yulan with a pitiful expression.
"Lan'er, I...I know I was wrong."
Su Yulan now wants to kill him whenever she sees him.
With a stiff face, he said, "I don't have that much silver. I'll have someone send it tomorrow."
The madam chuckled, "Then let Lord Qin stay here for the night. If he goes out tomorrow morning and someone sees him, don't blame us for being nosy."
Su Yulan glared at her fiercely.
"Are you threatening me? Do you know who I am?"
The madam placed the plaque of the Ministry of War's Supervisor of Construction on the table.
"Since we sent someone to the Qin family to invite you, we naturally know your noble status. Could it be that you want us to go to the Su family to get this money?"
Su Yulan panicked immediately.
Finally, after emptying his purse and removing all the jewels from his head and body, he barely managed to get the madam to agree.
"Farewell, Lord Qin. Please come again soon."
Ah Jiao and the madam's words almost made Qin Minglang fall to the ground.
He followed Su Yulan out of Chunxiang Courtyard through the back door.
The carriage was long gone, so they had to walk home.
