"A-Zu?" The maid was taken aback, thinking that she had never heard of him before. However, she did not dare to be careless. People in the capital were all rich and powerful. If she accidentally offended someone for her young lady, it would be troublesome. "Wait a moment, I will go and ask."
After saying that, she lifted her skirt and ran inside.
In the innermost room of the courtyard, the most sought-after courtesan was massaging the shoulders and neck of a beautiful woman lying on her side on the bed, exclaiming, "Master, your figure is truly enviable."
The beautiful woman smiled faintly: "You're not bad either."
"I'm far inferior to my master," Nanxun said softly, her gaze sweeping over the other woman. In truth, she had always been very confident in her looks and figure, but compared to the other woman, she was still a notch below. Were all the women of the demon race so incredibly beautiful?
The beautiful woman was none other than Kong Nanwu. She clearly had no interest in discussing this topic: "By the way, has that Zu An not come looking for you yet? It seems you didn't try hard enough that night."
Nanxun said resentfully, "Why didn't I try harder? My mouth was sore for a long time after that night. I can only say that men are all heartless and fickle. They would never care about people like us."
As soon as she finished speaking, a maid's voice came from outside: "Miss, Miss, there's a guest outside who says he's your friend and wants to see you."
"No, and don't bring just anyone here." Nanxun was annoyed. These days, many young men claimed to be her friends. Couldn't they tell that her smiles were just for show?
"Oh, that damned pimp must have taken money from someone and lied to me, saying that my ancestor was Miss's friend. I'll give him a piece of my mind." The maid muttered as she left.
"What did you say that person's name was?" The next moment she heard the door open, and Nan Xun appeared in the doorway, looking at her nervously.
Kong Nanwu, inside the room, curled her lip. "Ha, woman, what were you saying about her just now?"
The maid stared in shock at Nanxun's fair, bare feet. Why wasn't the young lady wearing shoes? "I think her name is Azu."
"Quickly, invite him in." Nan Xun's breathing quickened suddenly. "No, I'll go see him myself."
After speaking, she hurriedly tidied her hair and jewelry, and the maidservant quickly reminded her, "Miss, shoes..."
Nanxun secretly stuck out her tongue. Actually, whether she wore shoes or not didn't matter much in her current state, but if people saw that her feet were spotless, it might cause unnecessary trouble. She quickly put on her shoes and ran out, lifting her skirt.
The pimp, who was about to go back to report, was dumbfounded when he saw this scene. It turned out that the man really knew the courtesan, and judging from his appearance, he was clearly her lover, not a friend.
On the other side, Zu'an was leisurely sipping tea, while Zheng Dan, feeling unwell, was leaning back in her chair taking a nap.
Sang Qian quietly surveyed her surroundings. Although she complained, she was also curious about this place, after all, Hongxiuzhao was very famous in the capital.
After marveling at the magnificent decorations around her, she gradually regained her composure. Smelling the strong scent of cosmetics in the air, she said with disdain, "Why haven't we heard anything yet? I don't want to be embarrassed if I can't find out when the time comes."
Zuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, she's my friend."
Sang Qian said earnestly, "You usually seem quite clever, but now you seem a bit silly. You don't actually believe the sweet words women say in the entertainment industry, do you?"
She didn't mean to be sarcastic; it was just that her upbringing made her subconsciously dislike the people and things in this kind of place.
Before Zu'an could answer, a fragrant breeze wafted in, and a beautiful figure stood in the doorway: "It's not gentlemanly to talk behind someone's back. This... young lady, you're not jealous, are you?"
