Chapter 105 Platter
Prince Xiao Su of Zhenbei was genuinely taken aback by the polite refusal.
Before he came, his subordinates said that Ziyuan, the young lady of Zuifeng Tower, was extremely individualistic and capricious. They assumed that if he hadn't used his status to intimidate people, Ziyuan wouldn't have met him.
Interesting, quite interesting.
Forcing a courtesan is such a despicable thing to do, and it's not in line with his status. He nodded and stopped talking about it.
"Tap tap tap..."
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Xiao Su replied. Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open.
Ziyuan turned her head to look at the doorway and found two huge round tables there, on which lay four naked girls.
The girl's neck began to droop, and she was laid out with a dense array of fruits.
The guards of the Prince of Zhenbei carried the table to the center for the Prince of Zhenbei to enjoy.
"This is a female body platter that I came up with. What do you think, Ziyuan?"
Prince Zhenbei Xiao Su's face twitched, revealing a satisfied smile. He looked down at the girls with their eyes closed. Indeed, Granny Feng had acted swiftly and efficiently, finding them exactly as he had requested.
The skin is smooth and tender; even if it's not exceptionally beautiful, it's still delicious.
Xiao Su took a pastry from one of the girls. He noticed that the girl's body trembled slightly, and he was even more satisfied with her innocent reaction.
"Your Highness is truly creative."
Ziyuan narrowed his eyes, utterly speechless at this old pervert. He tried his best to stand to one side of the screen, but Lin Yuesha, hiding inside the cabinet, still saw the scene through the gap.
People with power and influence really know how to play the game!
Every breath that followed was agonizing; Lin Yuesha dared not breathe too loudly, for fear of being discovered and dragged out.
The Prince of Zhenbei had rather peculiar tastes. Most of the girls lying down were around the same age as her, and in short, they had flat chests, so that it would be easier to put food on them.
"thump!"
Lin Yuesha took a step back, kicking something with a crisp sound. Her face turned deathly pale, and she nearly fainted.
The other party was a prince, and she had no way to resist him. If she went all the way and killed him, she might not leave Zuifeng Tower alive.
"Heaven is going to destroy me!"
Lin Yuesha broke out in a cold sweat and stood motionless in place.
What was that sound?
Prince Xiao Su of Zhenbei was a martial artist with keen hearing and sharp eyesight. He put down his wine cup, stood up, stared at Ziyuan with sharp eyes, and said coldly, "Miss Ziyuan, could it be that you've also started playing the trick of keeping a mistress in a golden house and raising a gigolo?"
His timing was inconvenient; he interrupted their affair.
No wonder Ziyuan didn't want to go back with him. Once they arrived at the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, they wouldn't be so free to move around.
Xiao Su stared intently at Zi Yuan's face. If Zi Yuan showed even the slightest sign of panic, he would immediately enter the room and capture her.
I believe that Ziyuan will make a choice without being forced.
"You're really joking!"
Ziyuan remained calm, maintaining a polite smile. He stood up, pulled back the screen, and saw a lazy, fat cat sitting on the floor inside the room.
"Tiger, it's you again!"
Ziyuan squatted down, picked up the fat cat, and stroked its head. The fat cat seemed to enjoy it, rubbing its head against Ziyuan's arm and meowing twice.
"Haha, it seems I misunderstood! These days, not only men are attracted to beautiful women, but male cats are too!"
The Prince of Zhenbei sat for a while longer, but then found it boring. He clapped his hands, and then the guards filed in and carried away the entire round table.
A quarter of an hour after the Prince of Zhenbei left, Ziyuan opened the wardrobe door and let Lin Yuesha out. The little girl must have been terrified; perhaps she had fainted.
"Sister Ziyuan."
Lin Yuesha's forehead was covered in sweat. She had escaped this calamity thanks to the fat cat named Huzi, who had saved her life.
"Little girl, were you scared?"
Ziyuan took a white cotton handkerchief and wiped Lin Yuesha's sweat. She then changed the tea set and brewed a cup of calming tea for Lin Yuesha.
"That was close."
Lin Yuesha's face was pale and she looked terrible. No one understood the feeling of being terrified and narrowly escaping death better than she did.
"Sister Ziyuan, I want to go back."
Lin Yuesha drank a glass of water, and her face slowly regained its color. She then asked for permission.
"It's probably not going to work out tonight."
Ziyuan walked to the window, opened it, and let Lin Yuesha look down. Because the Prince of Zhenbei had arrived at Zuifeng Tower, the area was under strict lockdown, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
"I'll have someone take you home first thing tomorrow morning."
As for the companions who came with the little girl, they couldn't leave either, so he sent someone to inform them.
"That's the only way."
Lin Yuesha quickly accepted the arrangement. Since she couldn't go out, she might as well make the best of it. Fortunately, she had told her mother before leaving that she would go to the Jiang family to spend the night with Jiang Baozhu, so she shouldn't be found out.
“Sister Ziyuan, you are so beautiful, but that prince only sat for a short while and then left. He is simply blind.”
After relaxing, Lin Yuesha began to criticize the Prince of Zhenbei's aesthetic sense, saying that there was something wrong with all the fancy things he came up with.
"Haha, little girl, you figured it out too?"
Zi Yuan curled her lips into a faint smile, captivating Lin Yuesha once again. Zi Yuan was too beautiful; her beauty transcended the boundaries between men and women.
"Um."
Lin Yuesha heard Zhenbei Wang Huaguduo's words clearly. She realized how dangerous a naive young girl could be; she would definitely have to find a remedy to help her develop properly when she got home.
As long as you're born precocious and alluring, you're safe immediately.
Shion: "..."
The little girl has such a unique way of thinking, haha, but he likes it!
Lin Yuesha barely slept a wink during the night at Zuifeng Tower. She chatted with Ziyuan, and the two of them actually found themselves talking about the same thing.
Ziyuan had been to Kyoto and Jiangnan, and could talk endlessly about the local customs and culture.
As dawn broke, the guards downstairs withdrew, and at the back corner of Zuifeng Tower, two corpses were wrapped in straw mats, their exposed ankles covered with purplish-blue marks.
The view from Ziyuan's room was too good, and Lin Yuesha saw this scene, once again deeply feeling the cruelty of ancient times.
Human life is worthless; in the face of the powerful and wealthy, it's not even worth an ant.
Everyone has their own destiny.
Ziyuan remained indifferent to everything. It was not surprising that such things happened at Zuifeng Tower. Fearing that the little girl would be traumatized, he comforted her, "Most of those women were not forced, but were sold into it by their parents or relatives, who then received a considerable amount of benefits."
It's less about selling oneself and more about selling one's life.
It's no secret that the Prince of Zhenbei has a penchant for young girls. While there's no record of Xiao Su forcibly taking women, most of the girls he sets his sights on don't escape.
No one is willing to leave their homeland and flee to another place for a daughter. In the end, the only result is that the parents receive a large sum of money and send their daughter to their door, regardless of whether she lives or dies.
Over the years, no girl who entered the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion has survived for more than a month.
