Chapter 163: I have expectations in my heart
Since there are young prostitutes in Yunxianglou, it means that there are also customers who like men.
Although Su Jinshi can hardly be seen as a woman dressed like this, she looks like an androgynous teenager, which makes her more attractive to people with different preferences, some of whom are even a little perverted.
"Anyway, I won't say anything to Zhang Zhenzhen. I'll just sit there and stall for time." The key is to do it for the prince to see. Shen Shilang said, "You're next door, so keep talking to me and let me know that you're okay, okay?"
"Okay." Su Jinshi said, "Do you think the prince will send someone to follow you tonight?"
Shen Shilang smiled slightly and said, "Of course I want it."
"That's perfect." Su Jinshi said, "I can use my phone to observe the surroundings next door to see if there are any suspicious people. As long as I can identify the suspicious people, I will have a focus for the investigation."
Shen Shilang nodded, "But your safety is the most important thing. Tell me immediately if anything goes wrong."
"Okay." Su Jinshi agreed.
It was already night when the two of them left the house.
Riding in a horse-drawn carriage on the bluestone pavement of the main street of Zhuque Avenue, both sides were already brightly lit.
The aroma of food and the cries of vendors continued to waft in from the car windows.
After turning a corner, Yunxiang Tower is not far ahead.
The street where Yunxianglou is located is a bit more noisy, with bright lights and bustling people everywhere.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of Yunxiang Tower. Shen Shilang got off first and was about to help Su Jinshi get off. Su Jinshi reminded him, "I am a man now. Master Taifu helped me get off the carriage. Do you want to spread the rumor that Master Taifu is a homosexual tomorrow?"
Shen Shilang: “…”
Shen Shilang had no choice but to withdraw his hand in disappointment, but his eyes were still fixed on Su Jinshi. He was not relieved until she got off the carriage steadily.
Su Jinshi smiled and said, "The carriage is not high, don't worry."
Shen Shilang smiled, and just as he turned around, Mrs. Hu, the head of Yunxiang Tower, hurried forward with a flattering look on her face, "Master Shen!"
Shen Shilang nodded with some pride. He was dressed in black tonight, blending into the night, making him look a little cold and aloof, as if there was an invisible barrier between him and the decadent temperament of Yunxiang Tower.
"Mr. Shen is here to visit!" Mrs. Hu said flatteringly.
Shen Shilang is a rising star in the dynasty, second only to the emperor.
Mother Hu never expected that he would come to Yunxiang Tower and even specifically ask to see Zhang Zhenzhen.
Now he is determined to rely on Zhang Zhenzhen to develop Shen Shilang into a regular customer.
"We are really waiting in the room." Mother Hu was about to hold Shen Shilang's arm affectionately. Her hand was stretched out, but Shen Shilang looked at her and she suddenly stopped in disappointment, not daring to move forward.
It is no wonder that this Taifu holds a high position at such a young age. His aura should not be underestimated.
Su Jinshi and Shen Shilang entered Yunxiang Tower together.
Su Jinshi looked left and right with curiosity.
The girls in Yunxiang Tower were dressed gorgeously, their clothes half revealing their snow-white skin, which was particularly eye-catching.
The girls who had not yet received any guests were all stunned when they saw Shen Shilang.
Although he knew that he was Zhang Zhenzhen's guest, he still couldn't help but reach out to Shen Shilang, "Sir Shen..."
"Master Shen, would you like me to serve you?"
Shen Shilang seemed to be oblivious to these calls and went upstairs with Mother Hu, where it was finally a lot quieter.
"Mother Hu, is the room next door vacant for me?" Shen Shilang asked.
"Since Lord Shen has requested it, it naturally has to be vacated." Mother Hu said with a smile.
"My friend Wu Xin is a girl in your building. She is simply curious about this place and wants to see the world." Shen Shilang said, "She is resting in the next room. You don't need to arrange for anyone to serve her. Just ensure her safety. Don't let anyone harass her."
"I understand, I understand." Mother Hu thought she understood that Su Jinshi was the kind of young nobleman who had very strict family education and was not allowed to visit brothels.
Even if he followed Shen Shilang secretly, he only dared to look and did not dare to overstep the line.
"I promise to keep the young master safe and comfortable!" Mother Hu promised.
"This is Zhenzhen's room." Mother Hu said to Shen Shilang, "The young master is over here."
"I'll watch her go in first." Shen Shilang reminded Su Jinshi again, "Call me if you need anything."
It is also a reminder to Mother Hu not to act recklessly.
Su Jinshi nodded and entered the room.
Mother Hu thought to herself that she didn't know whose treasure this little boy was that Shen Shilang valued him so much.
After watching Su Jinshi enter the room, Shen Shilang pushed open the door to Zhang Zhenzhen's room.
On Su Jinshi's side, someone soon brought drinks and snacks.
But no matter what was served, Su Jinshi didn't dare to eat it.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
In a place like this where all kinds of people gather, who knows if there might be something added to the drinks and food.
Su Jinshi stood up and went to lock the door to prevent anyone from coming in.
Unexpectedly, there was no lock on the door.
"Why is there no lock?" Su Jinshi asked in surprise.
Su Jinshi didn't know that Yunxianglou was worried that something might happen to the guests, such as the murder of a young waiter a few days ago.
Especially if the guests here are important, they must not allow anything to happen in the building.
That's why the door is not locked, so that if there is anything unusual, the guards can be called to check immediately.
There was no way to lock the door, so Su Jinshi could only pay more attention himself.
She sat back, took out her cell phone and turned the screen to the next room.
Su Jinshi originally thought that the courtesan who would take the examination would be as bright and beautiful as a peony, but he did not expect that Zhang Zhenzhen had a pretty appearance.
She has fair skin and a cinnabar-like teardrop mole under her eye, which, combined with the red eyeshadow she deliberately painted, makes her look even more pitiful.
But facing such a great beauty, Shen Shilang just sat coldly at the table.
Zhang Zhenzhen was about to sit down, but was stopped by Shen Shilang, "Sit farther away from me."
Zhang Zhenzhen looked at Shen Shilang in astonishment, "Sir, what do you mean?"
"It's nothing." Shen Shilang said coldly, "I just came here to sit down today."
Zhang Zhenzhen paused for a moment, but chose to continue moving closer to Shen Shilang.
Shen Shilang picked up an empty teacup on the table and threw it towards Zhang Zhenzhen's ear.
Although she calculated that she would not be hit, Zhang Zhenzhen still screamed in fear and quickly dodged to the side.
"I told you to sit further away." Shen Shilang said coldly.
"Since my lord has no intention of letting me accompany you, why bother coming?" Zhang Zhenzhen said aggrievedly.
"You don't know why I'm here?" Shen Shilang sneered, "Wen Zhengliang became your lover six days ago, but when the government sent someone to inquire about it, you said there was no such person."
Shen Shilang asked her coldly, "You really have never met Wen Zhengliang?"
Zhang Zhenzhen's expression remained unchanged. She shook her head and said aggrievedly, "I really haven't seen him. If you are just investigating a case, why did you come to see me at this time? I had expectations in my heart. I thought... I thought I could meet you..."
