Yun Xuan told her that the prince and Bai Mudan of Ruyifang were old acquaintances, and Bai Mudan owed the prince a favor. If he asked her for help, she would definitely agree.

Jiang Muyu stood up and nodded slightly, "Mr. Bai."

Bai Mudan came over and poured her tea personally, saying, "Madam, why did you come to see me?"

Jiang Muyu said: "I have something that I would like the boss to help me with."

"Madam, please feel free to tell me. Mudan will do everything I can to help you."

"Thank you." Jiang Muyu said, "I think Mr. Bai also knows my identity. To be honest, my husband was injured a few days ago. I want to get back the money."

Bai Mudan's expression remained calm, but a sharp light flashed in her eyes. She lowered her eyes and said, "I heard a little bit. Madam wants to deal with Lord Sun?"

Jiang Muyu nodded.

I thought to myself: Bai Mudan knows much more than I thought. This way, things will be much easier.

"I got the news that Sun Chou was actually selling illegal salt, but there is no evidence yet. A few days ago, I sent someone to follow him and found that he often went to a house on North Street. If my guess is correct, there may be important evidence there."

Bai Mudan asked, "What does Madam want to do?"

Jiang Muyu said: "Sun Chou has a special jade token that can be used to command his subordinates. If I can get that jade token, things will be much easier."

Bai Mudan nodded in understanding and said, "I will get the jade token for Madam."

"Then there is Lao Bai Dongjia."

"You are too polite, Madam." Bai Mudan smiled and said, "Then please wait here for a moment, Madam."

"Okay." Jiang Muyu nodded at her.

Bai Mudan walked out and closed the door.

She walked into the hall, and a woman in green came over and said, "Ji Dong, prepare your dance clothes."

Ji Dong was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Sister Mudan? Today is the 15th day of July, not the 18th day of the 12th month?"

"Of course I know." Bai Mudan looked at her coldly, "Is there anything unclear in what I said?"

"Uh... no, no." Ji Dong immediately went downstairs to prepare clothes.

Soon, Bai Mudan changed into a light gauze dance dress. The dress was moon-white with a light pink hem and sleeves. She had a white silk belt around her waist, which highlighted her slender waist and well-proportioned figure. She was extremely charming.

She took the tray from Ji Dong, which had a wine pot and cups on it.

She walked slowly up to the second floor, arrived at the door of a private room, and knocked on the door. "Sir, I am here to serve you wine."

Someone inside said, "Come in."

She gently opened the door and walked in.

The door was closed, and only four words were seen on the wooden sign above: Feng Yue Lan Ting.

There was a buzz of discussion outside the door, and the people inside were also startled when they saw her coming.

The man at the top of the table saw her, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Why bother Mr. Bai to serve you wine in person?"

Bai Mudan smiled and said, "Knowing that Lord Sun, the Minister of the Dali Temple, is here, Mudan naturally dares not neglect him."

"Master Bai thinks too highly of me." Although he said this, Sun Chou stroked his beard with a smug smile on his face.

Among the three officials present, besides him, there were Fu Tao, the third-rank official of Guanglu Temple, and Xie Cheng, the junior official of Honglu Temple. Among them, he had the highest official position.

Although Xie Cheng is the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, he is just an insignificant bastard. Xie Cheng is the host today, but we still have to curry favor with him.

Bai Mudan came forward and poured wine for him personally, "Everyone knows that there is a concubine from the palace in Lord Sun's family. She is a very noble person. Moreover, you are a third-rank official and in charge of the Dali Temple. We ordinary people also have to work under you. Who wouldn't look up to you?"

"Hahaha... Mr. Bai's little mouth is as beautiful as his face." As he said that, he reached out and touched Bai Mudan's little face. The soft and smooth touch from his fingertips immediately made him distracted.

"Sir..." Bai Mudan lowered her head shyly and turned to pour wine for the other two.

Sun Chou's eyes were glued to the beauty. Looking at her figure and appearance, he could even imagine the seductive look of this beauty gasping for breath under him.

Xie Cheng had heard of Bai Mudan's great name a long time ago, and when he saw her today, he found that she was indeed worthy of her reputation. However, when he saw Sun Chou's eyes, he knew that he could not look at this woman for even a second today.

After pouring the wine, Bai Mudan put down the wine pot and said softly, "How about I dance for you gentlemen to liven up the atmosphere?"

The music in the room suddenly stopped, and several girls who were playing music were stunned.

White Peony is actually going to dance? This is really rare!

Bai Mudan was once the top artist in Ruyifang. She was very outstanding in singing, playing music, and dancing. In addition, she had a beautiful face. Countless noblemen in the capital were willing to spend a fortune to invite her to perform.

But she is not someone who can be invited by anyone. To invite Bai Mudan to perform, one must not only have the money, but also the status of the person.

Since she was promoted to become the owner of Ruyifang, her worth has skyrocketed. She can only be seen performing on stage once a year on the 18th of Ramadan, the day when Ruyifang is established.

Sun Chou had been hanging around music halls for many years, so he naturally knew about this. In recent years, he would come to Ruyifang on the 18th day of every lunar month just to watch Bai Mudan's performance.

But today, she actually danced for him alone! Sun Chou could hardly contain his excitement.

"I will perform a colorful feather dance for you gentlemen."

"Good!" The three of them applauded before she even started.

Bai Mudan bowed gracefully, and when the music started, she began to dance.

A long ribbon flew out from each of her sleeves and as she danced with her graceful figure, the ribbons seemed to come alive, matching her dancing moves perfectly. She was like a fairy descended from the sky, weaving a misty and illusory fairyland for them.

The audience was so mesmerized by the scene that they forgot to drink and kept following her with their eyes.

Sun Chou had seen her dance before, but every time he watched her he was so infatuated that his eyes were fixed on her figure that he even forgot to blink.

For some reason, he felt that the figure was getting closer and closer, until he could reach it with just a stretch of his hand.

He thought he was probably dreaming.

But the next moment, the fragrant, tender and soft body fell into his arms, and the woman's low cry was close to his ears.

The sudden change left everyone stunned for a moment.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Xie Cheng was the first to react, looking away and coughing softly. Fu Tao also came to his senses and lowered his head to drink with interest.

The music stopped for only a moment and then continued.

Everyone wisely ignored the ongoing incident.

"I'm sorry, Lord Sun." Bai Mudan placed her boneless little hands on his chest, raised her head, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, and her little face was flushed.

Sun Chou took a deep breath. This scene made his heart surge with emotion and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

After a moment, he said, "Ms. Bai... Miss Bai, are you okay?"

Bai Mudan pulled herself out of his arms, stood up with the help of the wooden table, and said with some trepidation: "Master Sun, I am sorry for being rude. I just twisted my ankle by accident."

Sun Chou said quickly, "Don't worry, don't worry, is Miss Bai hurt?"

"No problem."

As she spoke, she retracted her feet. Sun Chou noticed with his sharp eyes that her half-covered ankle was red. He felt very distressed and said, "Miss Bai, you should go and get it treated quickly. It's not good for your fair little feet to get hurt."

"Yes." Bai Mudan bowed and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to spoil the fun of the adults. I'm sorry for being so rude."

Sun Chou waved his hands and said, "It's okay, the girl's feet should be tighter."

"Peony, take your leave." After saying this, she limped away.

Seeing this, Sun Chou even stood up and wanted to go forward to support her, but he stopped when he saw a little maid coming over to support her outside the door.

…

In this room, Jiang Muyu waited for a long time and even drank two pots of tea before Bai Mudan finally came back.

But I saw that she was actually supported by someone when she came in.

He hurried over and asked anxiously, "What happened to the boss?"

Ji Dong said, "Sister Mudan accidentally sprained her foot while dancing just now."

Jiang Muyu said: "Go get some medicine first, I'll just watch over here."

Ji Dong looked at Bai Mudan worriedly, and only stepped back to get the medicine after getting a nod from her.

When they were the only ones left in the room, Bai Mudan took out a piece of white jade half the size of a palm from her waist belt and asked, "Is this what Madam needs?"

When Jiang Muyu saw the word "Sun" engraved on it, his eyes lit up and he nodded.
