"A peerless beauty!" Young Master Jin shouted at the top of his lungs after only one glance at Mei Yu on the stage.
"Truly an unparalleled beauty!"
"This woman should only exist in heaven!"
Pairs of eyes, glowing green, were fixed on Meiyu on the high platform, each one wanting to snatch this piece of fat meat and take it home.
Seeing this, Meiyu remained unmoved.
After bowing gracefully, her voice, sweet and melodious, rang out, "My lords, this humble servant is Meiyu."
After speaking, she glanced down at the crowd with her eyes sparkling, then swayed her hips and parted her lips slightly.
"she is……"
The gentle, enchanting voice and suggestive lyrics made everyone in the audience wish they could immediately surrender themselves in the hall.
"This woman's got some flavor!"
"Born with a captivating charm, this woman should only exist in heaven; how could she possibly be found on earth!"
"She's mine, no one can take her away!" Jin Shao shouted frantically, "Where are the flowers? Throw me flowers!"
"Where did this brat come from?" a middle-aged man with a scar on his face said unhappily. "This is not a place for you to play house. Go play somewhere else!"
Honestly, doesn't this person even know their own limitations?
Is a courtesan's banquet something a greenhorn like him could possibly attend?
If this were my own son, I would have broken his legs long ago.
"Who are you calling a jerk? Do you know who I am?" Jin Shao roared. "You've offended me..."
"Young Master," Manager Jin hurriedly covered Young Master Jin's mouth in fright, "We are no longer in Ping'an County, this is the prefectural city."
Damn it, you're brain-dead!
Still so arrogant even in a different place, do you want to get beaten up or something?
Thinking of this, Manager Jin immediately apologized to the visitor, "Sir, I'm sorry, this is my young master's first time here and he doesn't know the rules. Please forgive him."
"Forget it, I'm not going to argue with a child. You can leave now, and don't let me see you again."
After the middle-aged man with the scar left.
"Young Master," Manager Jin said nervously, "shall we leave first? As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback."
This man had five or six followers, all burly men, while they were only three people, including the old and the young. If they went up against him, it would be like an egg hitting a rock.
Manager Jin's idea was indeed good, but Young Master Jin refused to cooperate.
The first thing he did after gaining his freedom was to slap Manager Jin across the face. "Jin Ming, you're really something. I've raised you for so many years, and all you do is turn your back on your master."
What to do if your dog is disobedient?
Then let's kill it. Otherwise, why keep it alive to continue devouring its master?
Having already made his decision, Young Master Jin looked at Manager Jin as if he were looking at an inanimate object.
“Young Master,” Manager Jin said with a bitter expression, “I did not mean to offend you, but I was really worried about your safety.”
"Why do you need to worry? Do you think I'm afraid of that nobody?" Young Master Jin said arrogantly. "What is he anyway?"
"What do you think I am?" a sinister voice rang out. "Today I'll show you. You two, beat him up and break both his legs."
That arrogant brat, if we don't teach him a lesson, he'll really think the whole world is his parents.
"You, you mustn't do anything rash," Jin Shao's legs went weak as he watched two burly men approach him with clenched fists. "This isn't your home."
He's not stupid; how could he not know the situation?
The reason I didn't realize it before was because I had always acted so recklessly in Ping'an County.
However, after Jin Ming's reminder, he had already realized that something was wrong.
However, the master's authority cannot be offended, and no matter how wrong he is, it is not up to a servant to point fingers.
That's why I wanted to intimidate them.
Who knew that the person who had clearly left would suddenly come back?
And he happened to overhear himself spouting nonsense.
"Don't worry, I'll make them spare your life."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the fists of two burly men came crashing down like a whirlwind.
"Sir," Manager Jin took a deep breath and spoke ingratiatingly, "my young master did not mean to offend you. Could you please show mercy?"
“I’ve already shown mercy,” Scarface sneered. “If it weren’t for your loyalty to your master, you wouldn’t be leaving without losing an arm.”
"Jin Ming," Jin Shao said, his anger mixed with pain, "Are you just going to watch me get beaten up like this?"
That bastard, once we get back home, I'll make sure he's half dead before this is over.
Upon hearing this, Manager Jin hesitated for only a moment before rushing over to shield Young Master Jin from all the attacks.
"Master, what is this?"
"Keep going, don't stop."
Under the barrage of punches and kicks, Manager Jin's slightly aged body could not withstand it at all, and soon he felt his vision go black.
This attracted more and more people. Jing Hong was afraid that someone might die, so she ran over and said, "Uncle Gao, who made you so angry? Let's not get so worked up, it would be bad if someone died."
After Jing Hong finished speaking, she looked at the man in front of her with a mixture of trepidation and ingratiation.
The owner of Fu Gui Ge, the largest gambling den in the city, makes a living off human lives, so she was genuinely afraid something might happen.
Although she had powerful backers and wasn't afraid of this man, she didn't believe that the people behind her would offend him over such a trivial matter.
Thinking of this, Jing Hong looked at the two people on the ground with nothing but disgust!
Where did this wild kid come from? He comes out looking for fun without even asking around. He knows who he can mess with and who he can't.
"Is Master afraid of this?" Master Gao snorted indifferently.
“I know you’re not afraid,” Jing Hong forced a smile, “but I am afraid. Today is a special day for the young ladies. Seeing blood is very unlucky. Please be magnanimous and don’t bother with these ignorant people.”
“We still have to give Jing Hong face,” Gao Ye laughed, as if nothing had happened. “These two are lucky. Xiao Yi and Xiao Er, throw them out.”
"yes!"
So, the almost unconscious Manager Jin and the wounded Young Master Jin were thrown onto the shore like sacks.
Jin Shao's entourage, who had been hiding in the crowd since the two were beaten, immediately followed them upon seeing this.
Just then, Meiyu's performance on stage ended.
Unsurprisingly, all nine flower baskets at the front desk were completely full.
After Meiyu, several other renowned actresses took the stage, but with such outstanding performers before them, the audience didn't appreciate these simple, unrefined ones; everyone was eagerly awaiting the birth of the most beautiful courtesan.
Half an hour later, the statistics were completed, and Jing Hong announced: "This year's courtesan queen is Mei Yu from Yi Man Lou. Gentlemen who admire Mei Yu, you may now play the flower-picking game. Whether you can win the beauty's favor depends on this!"
Backstage.
“Miss,” Qiu Qing said excitedly, grabbing Mei Yu’s arm and shaking it, “we succeeded.”
Once you become the most beautiful courtesan, you can be completely freed from your suffering as long as someone redeems you.
"Have you forgotten what I said?" Meiyu shook her head gently. "Yimanlou is quite good. Even if you redeem yourself, you'll just become a concubine, a mere plaything. It's much more comfortable to be at Yimanlou."
“But,” Qiu Qing said with a face full of disapproval, “Yi Man Lou is a place of debauchery. There is hardly any way to escape. Why is Miss so foolish as to continue staying in such a dangerous place?”
"I have my own plans for this. Go and invite your mother over. I have something to discuss with her."
