Chapter 161: I finally got such a good deal, I can't let others take advantage of me
"Is that so..." Su Jinshi nodded with a smile. The clerk didn't realize that he had already admitted that Zhang Zhenzhen would come to the shop. "So when does she plan to come to the shop next time?"
The waiter was about to deny it when Su Jinshi stopped him, "You don't have to deny it so quickly, and you don't have to say it here. When you send the things to the Shen residence later, just tell Butler Jiang secretly."
"Zhang Zhenzhen can't show up in public casually. She won't just come when she says she will. She must send someone here to say hello in advance, and then come here in a low profile without anyone noticing." Su Jinshi said with a smile, "As long as you can tell me in advance, you will definitely get some benefits."
From the very beginning, Su Jinshi and Shen Shilang had no intention of getting any information from Zhang Zhenzhen.
Since the Crown Prince personally stopped the Fifth Prince on the way, it has been confirmed that the mastermind behind this incident is indeed the Crown Prince.
Zhang Zhenzhen could not and would never dare to cooperate with them and tell them the truth.
That was why Shen Shilang conducted a high-profile investigation, causing the Crown Prince to become anxious and make mistakes in his haste.
That was why Su Jinshi said in public that he wanted to see Zhang Zhenzhen. He had no intention of getting any information from Zhang Zhenzhen, he was just performing for the prince.
It depends on whether the prince takes the bait.
Su Jinshi didn't wait for the waiter's answer and left with Shuangyun.
As soon as they got out of the door, Shuangyun said anxiously, "Miss, those ladies may look noble, but they love to gossip. What you just did will be spread by them before today."
"Let them pass it on." Su Jinshi said indifferently, "Shuangyun, don't worry, let's continue shopping."
Shuangyun: “…”
When Shen Shilang returned home, he went straight to Su Jinshi's room, put his official hat on the table in Su Jinshi's room, and said to Su Jinshi with a smile: "Did you go to Magnolia Pavilion today?"
"Have you heard about it?" Su Jinshi was very satisfied with the speed at which gossip spread. "I didn't expect that although Daxi has difficulty communicating, gossip spreads very quickly."
"I heard about it while I was on duty today." Shen Shilang laughed.
"No, you heard about it while you were on duty? It spread too fast. I thought it would spread among the ladies during the day. I have to wait until the adults get off duty and go home before I can hear them talk about it."
Shen Shilang shook his head and said, "They probably couldn't wait any longer, so they sent the servants to deliver the food and told them what happened. Although my colleagues didn't say anything to my face, they whispered to each other, and they didn't try to hide it, so I found out quickly."
Su Jinshi stroked his chin and sighed, "The prince must have known about this too. I hope he can act sooner."
"You are so smart today." Shen Shilang's eyes were full of smiles. Sitting opposite Su Jinshi, he couldn't get enough of looking at such a smart girl. Su Jinshi was the only one in his eyes. "It's progressing much faster than I planned."
"So I plan to strike while the iron is hot and go to Yunxiang Tower tomorrow night to meet Zhang Zhenzhen." Shen Shilang said, "There is no need to find out anything from her, and you can't just believe what she says. Just let the prince know that I have started investigating Zhang Zhenzhen."
"When I was shopping outside today, I heard that Zhang Zhenzhen is the top performer of Yunxianglou, and not just anyone can see her." Su Jinshi said, "Although she didn't say it explicitly, all her past customers were dignitaries, and ordinary people couldn't see her at all."
"Even those nobles have to make an appointment with her in advance. They can't see her anytime they want." Su Jinshi said.
Shen Shilang nodded, "Yes, so I have to make an appointment in advance. As a last resort, I have to use the authority of the Grand Tutor."
Su Jinshi smiled and held his chin up, "You are a famous person now. As long as you go, even if I have already made an appointment with someone else tomorrow, I will have to push it aside to let you cut in line."
Shen Shilang blushed slightly and bowed to Su Jinshi, "Jinshi, please stop teasing me."
"However, since it is not easy to meet Zhang Zhenzhen, what is the identity of the person who has an appointment with Chen Shixian?" Su Jinshi said, "If it is an ordinary person, he can't meet Zhang Zhenzhen at all. But if it is a child of a noble family, how can he not meet her? Although there are many nobles in the capital, they can all be called by name. If someone is missing from a family, it will be found out by checking. If nothing can be found, it means that he is not a person of high status. How can he meet Zhang Zhenzhen?"
"But this also shows that Chen Shixian is not usually involved in these romantic things." Su Jinshi said, "Otherwise he would know that it is difficult for ordinary people to see Zhang Zhenzhen. He may not have even asked how to meet Zhang Zhenzhen, but simply wanted to find a customer of Zhang Zhenzhen to talk about the material."
Shen Shilang nodded. He had also thought of this. "I asked people to check the noble children in the capital. They are all in the capital. Everyone is there. This means that the person Chen Shixian is looking for is indeed not of high status."
"Otherwise, even the prince wouldn't dare to touch him easily." Shen Shilang said.
"Can I go with you tomorrow?" Su Jinshi looked at Shen Shilang expectantly, "I'm also curious about what the ancient courtesans looked like."
Shen Shilang shook his head repeatedly, "A brothel is not a good place, and the guests inside are not good people, especially when they are drunk, they can do anything outrageous. It's dangerous for you to go there."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"I'll follow you. What's the danger?" Su Jinshi said, "Please arrange a room next door for me. I'll wait nearby and won't disturb you."
"And since I'm close to you, I can use my phone to see the scene in your room. If anything happens, I can help you in time with my phone." Su Jinshi said.
"It's still too dangerous." Shen Shilang didn't want Su Jinshi to enter such a dirty place.
"You're just talking about me. I'm still worried about you going alone." Su Jinshi looked at Shen Shilang angrily.
Shen Shilang paused, and his face immediately turned red. "Don't worry, I will never do anything to let you down. Even if I entered Zhang Zhenzhen's room, I would just sit there and not say a word."
"I trust you, but I don't trust Zhang Zhenzhen." Su Jinshi said angrily.
"Ah?" Shen Shilang was dumbfounded. He thought of many possibilities that might have made Su Jinshi uneasy, but he never thought of this possibility. "Why?"
"You are so good-looking, what if Zhang Zhenzhen falls in love with you?" Su Jinshi held Shen Shilang's face with both hands, looking left and right, "You have a good temperament, a good figure, and an extremely beautiful face. Even if Zhang Zhenzhen has seen many noble men, are they as good-looking as you?"
"Even if you won't let her do anything to you, how can she touch you?" Su Jinshi simply dragged the stool closer to Shen Shilang and hugged Shen Shilang's arm, "I finally got such a good deal, I can't let others take advantage of me."
