Chapter 70 Accident 2 Wu Sheng's mouth is really annoying
The carriage stopped at the alley entrance next to Yichun Tower.
There were not many people walking in the streets, but there were many gauze lanterns, and the rain curtain dyed those lanterns into tiny stars.
Su He did not rush to get out of the car, but lifted the curtain and looked out.
Even on rainy days, the entrance of Yichun Tower was still bustling with people coming and going. In the most conspicuous position at the entrance, there was a carriage with carved beams and painted rafters, and the "Zhou" emblem was clearly printed on the carriage curtain.
Su He was delighted: "Zhou Yuanze is here as expected."
Zhang Xiuhua also glanced outside a few times, still feeling nervous. "How about I get out of the car and cover for the young lady?"
Su He smiled and asked, "How is your aunt going to cover for me?"
"Just... just pretend to be crazy or stupid. Miss can take advantage of the chaos to enter Yichun Tower."
"Aunt is now the personal maid of the Xie family's young mistress. If someone recognizes her, wouldn't it be a disaster?" Su He said as she took off her coat. "Don't worry, Aunt, I can get in."
Zhang Xiuhua looked at her dressed as a flower girl and became more and more flustered, so flustered that even her voice trembled.
Since returning to Beijing for revenge, she hadn't been able to help Su He much, but her heart was broken with worry. "Then... what can I do?"
"Aunt, just stay in the carriage and wait for me to come out."
"Miss, are you going in now?"
Su He glanced at the entrance of Yichun Tower. "No rush, just wait a little longer. Zhou Yuanze is staying here tonight anyway, so we have plenty of time."
The rain was getting heavier, and the puddles on the street reflected the lights, making the night in the capital more prosperous and bustling.
In the tavern, Xie Wuhen had already drunk several cups of tea.
The tavern owner, Xiaoyi, stepped forward and said, "We have some newly opened aged daughter's red wine. Would you like a pot, Master Shaoqing?"
Xie Wuhen waved his hand: "No, tea will be enough."
The shopkeeper smiled, bowed and left.
After a moment, Wu Sheng strode into the room and reported in a low voice, "Boss, there's no movement at the moment."
Xie Wuhen asked, "Is there anything unusual about Zhou Yuanze?"
Wu Sheng showed disdain. "What could be wrong with him? He's enjoying himself with the new Hua Niang on the third floor of Yichun Tower."
Xie Wuhen's expression was slightly restrained: "No hurry, wait a little longer, there is still a long night."
Wu Sheng clasped his fists and replied “Yes”.
Su He had been waiting in the carriage.
After waiting for about quarter of an hour, I finally saw a drunk staggering towards the gate of Yichun Tower.
She whispered, "I'll get off first, don't worry, aunt."
Zhang Xiuhua asked anxiously, "Have you put on the bracelet...?"
Su He lowered her head and checked the bracelet on her wrist: "Don't worry, aunt, I'm wearing it properly."
The bracelet contained the poison powder for her revenge, which was also her protection, so there must not be any mistakes.
Zhang Xiuhua then took out an oil-silk umbrella from the corner and handed it to her solemnly: "Go ahead, Auntie will wait for you to come back."
Su He took the umbrella, nodded, then turned around, got off the carriage, and hurried into the rain.
A gust of wind came through the alley, causing the oil-silk umbrella in her hand to sway several times.
She gripped the umbrella handle tightly, waded through the puddles on the street, and walked quickly towards the drunkard, then held the umbrella above his head.
The drunk was about thirty years old. When he saw Su He, his mind was a little confused. He muttered with a breath of alcohol: "Oh my god... a beautiful girl fell from the sky?"
Su He smiled charmingly: "The rain is too heavy, I came here specially to pick you up."
The drunkard was delighted and said flatteringly, "Where are you taking me, beauty?"
Su He replied in a sweet voice: "Of course we're going to Yichunlou." After that, she lifted up the drunk's arm and pulled him into the building.
In the pub opposite.
Xie Wuhen inexplicably felt that the Hua Niang who had just walked into the building looked familiar.
Wu Sheng said, "Boss, doesn't that Hua Niang holding the umbrella just now look a bit like the young lady?"
Xie Wuhen scolded: "Shut up."
Wu Sheng said with a bitter face: "Young Madam would naturally not come to such a place, I just thought it looked like it."
"That Hua Niang's face is blocked by the umbrella, how can it be similar?"
"I think their figure and gait are similar."
Xie Wuhen picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
Wu Sheng chewed his cake with a wronged look on his face. "I only said 'looks like', but didn't say 'is'."
"You still dare to say 'yes'?"
"I dare not, I dare not."
Xie Wuhen snorted coldly and then gave up.
His wife is a lady from a noble family, so why would she come to such a place full of people? Wu Sheng's mouth is really annoying.
At this time in Yichun Tower.
There were so many rich young men coming in and out, and the brothel owner Liu Mama was busy dealing with prominent figures like Zhou Yuanze. Naturally, no one noticed a seemingly mediocre drunkard, and no one noticed Su He beside the drunkard.
The two walked through the noisy lobby and up the stairs leading to the second floor.
The drunk stumbled and cursed, "This... these stairs are too damn hard to walk on. I... can't make it up."
Su He pulled him hard: "If you want to have sex with me, you can only go to the second floor. Please try harder."
The drunk turned his head to glance at the beauty beside him, his lustful desire rising again: "For... for the beauty, I... I will try my best."
During this time, a flower lady stopped by and asked Su He, "Are you new here?"
Su He smiled shyly: "I've only been here for one day, I hope my sister will take good care of me."
Hua Niang glanced at the drunkard and said, "This guy is very stingy and he's drunk. Why do you care about him?"
Su He pretended to be embarrassed: "I don't have many patrons, so I'll pick up one if I can."
"It's up to you." Hua Niang said, flicked her handkerchief, brushed past them and walked down the stairs.
Su He finally carried the drunk to the second floor.
Looking around, there were compartments and porches everywhere, which was much more hidden and safer than the first floor, so there was no need for the drunkard as a "human cover".
She settled him in a corner and then went alone to find Zhou Yuanze's room.
The drunk was still shouting behind her: "Beauty, where are you going...Beauty..."
Su He didn't bother to pay attention to him and turned into the porch on the other side.
Every porch is bustling with people, with patrons coming and going, and prostitutes receiving guests; every room is filled with sweet talk, teasing, and moaning, all of which interweave together, painting a picture of unbridled indulgence in sensual pleasures.
Su He had never seen such a scene before, and couldn't help feeling a little helpless.
But now that I've entered this building, there's absolutely no reason to turn back.
She dodged left and right, looked around, and knocked on several doors, claiming that she was looking for "Mr. Zhou".
The man in the room was in a bad mood and shouted, "There is no so-called Mr. Zhou here, get out."
After being yelled at several times, Su He was a little confused and didn't know where to find Zhou Yuanze.
Just as he was hesitating, a tortoise came forward and asked tentatively, "You're new here, don't you have any patrons?"
Su He pretended to be helpless and lowered his head, saying "yes".
The old man took in her beauty and sighed, "There are more and more girls in this building. It's normal to have no patrons occasionally. Don't be discouraged."
Su He thanked him and asked, "Which room is Mr. Zhou in?"
"The Zhou Yuanze from the Zhou family?"
"Exactly."
The old man smiled and said, "My daughter is quite ambitious. She even wants to get close to the Zhou family."
Su He replied, "Having fallen to this point, I must at least get something to support myself."
"How long has my daughter been in the building?"
"Today is only the first day."
"No wonder." Turtle lowered his voice, "How could someone as powerful as Lord Zhou, who can walk all over the capital, be hanging around with these people?"
Su He's heart sank: "Master Zhou is not in the building?"
The turtle man smiled and said, "I'm here."
Then he raised his index finger and pointed upwards: "On the third floor."
"Are there rooms for receiving guests on the third floor?"
"Of course."
Su He looked around and said, "I don't see any stairs leading to the third floor."
The old man reminded: "The rooms on the third floor are reserved for important people. Ordinary people cannot go up there."
"They're going to order Hua Niang, right? Hua Niang has to go up, right?"
"You just said that only the chosen flower girls can go up. How can those who are not chosen go up?"
"What if I insist on going up?"
The old man smiled and said, "Then Madam Liu will definitely teach you a lesson. When the time comes, which of the punishments can you endure, cat torture, yellow dragon soup, or burning with candles?"
Su He came here for revenge today, so how could he be scared by these punishments?
She took out a handful of silver and stuffed it into Turtle Gong's hand. "I really want to find a high branch to live on. I hope Big Brother can do me a favor and tell me where the stairs to the third floor are."
The old man took the silver and said a little embarrassedly, "Actually, if my daughter stays in this building for a long time, she will know where the stairs are sooner or later."
"The problem is, this is only my first day, and Master Zhou is here just in time. Life always needs a purpose, right? I hope Big Brother will be kind."
The old man finally relaxed and said, "If this matter is exposed, you must not expose me in front of Mother Liu."
Su He made several assurances.
The old man pulled her to a place where she was not surrounded by people and pointed to a corner not far away. "See that green curtain? Push aside the curtain and walk in. There's a corridor inside. There's a door at the end of the corridor. Open the door and you'll see the stairs leading to the third floor."
It is indeed very hidden.
If it weren't for the turtle man telling her, she would have thought that it was also a compartment.
Su He thanked him repeatedly and then walked towards the green curtain.
The old man also hid the change in his sleeve pocket and went downstairs quietly.
Su He walked through the curtain, passed through the narrow corridor, pushed open a vermilion lacquered wooden door, and finally saw the stairs leading to the third floor.
There was no one around, and the gauze lanterns on the wall made the stairs brightly lit.
She took a deep breath and walked forward firmly.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the corridor, he was stopped by two guards.
One of the guards warned: "Don't trespass without permission."
Su He pretended to be aggrieved: "I am here to serve Master Zhou on my mother's orders. How can this be considered trespassing?"
The guard was suspicious: "Why didn't you hear Mama Liu mention this beforehand?"
Su He replied, "Mom just had this idea on a whim and didn't have time to tell you."
Another guard said, "Never mind, they are all Hua Niang in the building, why make things difficult for them?"
"There are important people on the third floor, so we must not let anything go wrong."
"What could possibly go wrong with this powerless Hua Niang?"
The guard glanced at her twice again and finally let her go.
Su He breathed a sigh of relief and thanked repeatedly. Finally, he reached the third floor smoothly.
The third floor was covered with velvet carpets and the walls were covered with tapestries. Everywhere was decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, and it was magnificent, as if it were another world outside Yichun Tower.
There was still no one around and it was silent, with only closed doors in the interlaced light and shadow.
Su He knew that his enemy was behind one of the doors.
But she didn't know which door it was behind.
She stepped on the soft velvet carpet and counted the doors one by one. There were more than ten doors in total.
Just over a dozen doors!
She had all night, which was plenty.
Su He turned the bracelet on his wrist, then raised his hand and knocked on one of the doors.
I knocked for a long time but there was no movement in the room.
She thought it might be an empty room and wanted to go to another room to knock again, but just as she turned around, the door creaked open.
A loosely dressed man appeared at the door and asked casually, "Who are you looking for?"
The man was in his twenties, with a thin face, and was obviously not Zhou Yuanze.
She bowed and said, "Sorry, I knocked on the wrong door." Then she turned to leave.
"Wait." The man called her.
Su He stopped and asked, "I wonder... what's the matter, sir?"
The man walked out of the door and walked up to Su He. He looked her up and down, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips: "You are also a playboy?"
Su He answered irrelevantly, lowered her head and replied: "I am sorry for disturbing you, sir. I hope you will forgive me."
"Since you're here, why don't you serve me together? It's more fun when there are more people." The man grabbed her hair and dragged her into the house...
