She kept gesturing to Zhang Yu with her eyes, and Zhang Yu reluctantly nodded. Bai Zhi became even angrier, but after a moment she calmed down, she spoke to Sisi.
“Miss, Second Brother has probably gone to a friend’s house. Let me take you back to the manor to rest. It’s getting late.”
"Is Bichunlou a friend's house?"
Sisi sensed that there were many people in Bichun Tower.
Bai Zhi's eyes widened, as if she was shocked by these words. She had clearly not said anything just now. How did Miss Biao know about Bichun Pavilion?
She glanced at Zhang Yu, who shook his head.
"Let's go take a look together." Sisi started walking in one direction. Bai Zhi was even more surprised. How did Miss Biao know that Bichun Tower was in this direction?
If she were to see that scoundrel of a second brother, wouldn't that further damage their relationship?
Bai Zhi hurriedly chased after her, "Miss, Bichun Pavilion is no fun. Let's go back quickly, or Madam will send someone to look for us."
"Then go back and tell Madam."
Sisi didn't want to miss the chance to share in his joy, so she agreed to stay for a month. A month in the human world would pass quickly, and she couldn't waste it.
Bai Zhi dared not go back. If the madam found out that her second son was fooling around at Bichun Tower, she would be furious.
Upon arriving at Bichun Tower, she found it to be a bustling and lively place. As Sisi walked in, the madam, dressed in flamboyant attire, stopped her at the entrance.
"Hey, hey, girl, this is a brothel. Women are not allowed to enter."
Why?
Sisi glanced around and found that all the people going in and out were indeed men, and women passing by had expressions of disgust and aversion.
She didn't understand.
The madam was in a good mood today and patiently explained it to her. After learning the reason, Sisi's eyebrows furrowed suddenly.
How could there be such a filthy and chaotic place in the human world?
How is this any different from the seductive demons of the demon realm?
Bai Zhi took some silver, and Si Si successfully entered Bi Chun Lou. Zhang Yu was so frightened that he hurriedly went to report the news. Si Si followed him and also found Zhou Qi Yan's room.
Unlike the guests downstairs, he didn't have women on either side of him. Instead, he sat alone by the window, drinking and watching the woman playing the zither.
He almost fell over when he saw Sisi.
"What are you doing here?"
Zhang Yu whispered, "It's Miss Biao who's coming. She must be angry. Master, let's go back quickly, in case Miss Biao goes back and complains."
These words ignited Zhou Qiyan's anger. "If she dares to complain, I'll break her legs!"
Sisi only glanced at him before turning her gaze to the woman. Zhou Qiyan thought she was going to do something, after all, he had seen many women come in, catch people in the act, and then beat them without saying a word.
He stood in front of the woman.
"If you dare to hit Yao Yao, I don't care who you are, I'll beat you up without hesitation!"
Yao Yao remained calm and bowed slightly. "Second Master, this young lady has no hostility towards me."
He still didn't move.
"What does Miss Yao Yao think of this brothel?"
Sisi suddenly asked a trivial question, and Zhou Qiyan chuckled, "Of course, it's excellent."
“Ayan, I didn’t ask you.”
"..."
Yao Yao smiled faintly, "Very good. My parents died. If it weren't for Granny Bichunlou raising me, I would probably have starved to death."
Sisi nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Zhou Qiyan after a moment, "You like her very much, why don't you redeem her?"
Yao Yao's eyes also held a hint of anticipation.
Zhou Qiyan was taken aback and stammered. His mother would never allow a courtesan to enter the Zhou family.
"It was Yao Yao who put you in a difficult position, young master." Yao Yao said somewhat dejectedly, "Yao Yao will take her leave."
After she left, Zhou Qiyan felt a surge of anger with nowhere to vent it. He glared at her and said, "What are you doing here causing trouble? Are you feeling better now that she's gone? You're already this jealous before you've even married me. If you really did marry me, wouldn't you control me like a man?"
Sisi said calmly, "Didn't you say you didn't want to marry me?"
"That's right, I'd rather die than marry you!"
Zhou Qi left in a huff.
When Madam Zhou saw the two of them return together, she assumed they had gotten along very well and was overjoyed. She stayed and talked with them for quite a while before letting them go home.
Zhou Qiyan got goosebumps from what was being said. What marriage, what baby? He himself was still a baby!
He returned to Linqing Pavilion. After Zhang Yu helped him wash up, Zhou Qiyan climbed into bed without thinking much. Suddenly, he pressed his hand against a soft, cotton object.
"ah!"
Zhou Qiyan jumped off the bed and saw that there was a woman lying on his bed, and she was completely naked!
"Who are you? Which concubine? You dare to climb into my bed? You're asking for death! Get down here right now!"
The maid, scrambling and crawling, wrapped herself in a blanket and knelt on the ground. "Master, spare my life! It was all arranged by Madam. I was just following her orders. Please spare my life!"
"My mother? What did my mother say to you?"
Zhou Qiyan withdrew his foot, which he had been about to kick, and said angrily, "Tell me the truth. If you dare to lie, I'll break your neck!"
The maid dared not speak, and honestly told the whole story, even detailing what she was to do.
Zhou Qiyan's face turned bright red. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up, startling the maid who immediately begged for mercy. He said angrily, "Zhang Yu, throw this maid to my mother's place and tell her not to let just anyone into my room!"
Zhang Yu responded and dragged the person away.
Zhou Qiyan drank several glasses of cold water in succession. He paced restlessly in the room. Although he had many concubines in the backyard, he had never been there, let alone done that kind of thing.
He had never been interested in that kind of thing, and he would never indulge in such things as Yu Wenguang every few days, but now, he suddenly felt extremely aroused.
The image of the first time he saw her flashed through his mind: her jade-like hand reaching out from the carriage, her slender, supple waist, and her presence in his arms…
Zhou Qiyan kicked over the stool in a fit of rage, "Ugly freak, why do you keep trying to get into my head?!"
That night, Zhou Qiyan had a dream. He dreamt that the woman's white clothes were torn, and her glassy eyes were full of tears as she pleaded incessantly, her voice soft and gentle.
He loosened his belt and was about to do something when Zhang Yu suddenly woke him up. He opened his eyes impatiently, so angry that he wanted to twist Zhang Yu's head off.
"What's wrong so early in the morning? Want to die?"
Zhang Yu shuddered in fright, "Master... Madam came to invite you to breakfast, Miss Biao has already gone there."
"I won't eat it!"
Zhou Qiyan turned his back to him, and Zhang Yu did not dare to shout. He only whispered, "Master, I heard that the Yu family went to the street early this morning to buy gifts, as if they were going to propose marriage to someone."
Zhou Qiyan's eyes suddenly opened.
He had a bad feeling.
"Did you find out?"
Zhang Yu shook his head, "No, the servants in the Yu family are very tight-lipped. They won't even say anything if you give them money."
Zhou Qiyan pouted. He thought of Yu Wenguang's lecherous expression when he looked at that person, and felt a surge of resentment.
Could that damn Yu Wenguang be planning to ask her for a marriage proposal?
