Chapter 499 Disruption
The interior of Wenjun Tower was different from what Lin Yuesha had imagined. It featured mountains, water, pines, bamboos, and calligraphy and paintings on the walls, making it a feast for the eyes. It lacked the artificiality of a traditional Chinese painting and instead exuded a refreshing scholarly atmosphere.
When Xu Da entered, he seemed at a loss, while Lin Yuesha appeared more at ease.
"Please come in, both of you."
The male madam in the hall immediately greeted him with a smile. He was not wearing makeup, and although he was old, he looked like a scholar, very refined.
"You two are unfamiliar faces. Do you have a young master you fancy?"
Seeing that the two were dressed in fine clothes, the male madam assumed they were young masters from wealthy families who had come to broaden their horizons, and that they probably had some hobbies. Of course, all the men who came to his establishment were like that.
"have."
Lin Yuesha lowered her voice and directly called out, "I want to see the top courtesan, Wenjun."
Lin Yuesha immediately named the top courtesan, as she had never seen a male courtesan before and wanted to broaden her horizons.
"Unfortunately, Wenjun has guests today. In addition to Wenjun, we have several other talented and handsome young men in our Wenjun Tower."
There are options for both young and old people, catering to the diverse needs of different individuals.
"Then let someone who can sing a little tune come and entertain us brothers."
Xu Da remained silent throughout, while Lin Yuesha was quite uninhibited, and even ordered a table full of food and drinks.
The two were seated in a private room, and Xu Da even suspected that Lin Yuesha had been to such a place before.
She had been to brothels, but she couldn't say it.
Lin Yuesha immediately changed her expression and said somewhat nervously, "Cousin, did I not act well just now? I was so nervous!"
Xu Da: ...
She acted so well that he even doubted whether she had ever been there.
"This is all thanks to Young Master Qiuyue; he is a star performer in the Qiuyue Troupe."
Lin Yuesha did indeed learn a lot from Xiao Qiuyue. She relaxed and observed the male madam's expression. The male madam positioned the two of them as noble young men who came to see the world, so she had to play this role well.
"How do you explain a large table of food and drinks?"
Xu Da raised an eyebrow, his tone full of doubt.
"Cousin, we only ate sesame seed cakes with braised pork and preserved vegetables, and we're not full at all. It doesn't make sense to make us go out to work without giving us food. The money for entertainment and meals should be public funds, right?"
Public funds were used for personal expenses, and after spending the money, the expenses were reimbursed by Luo Wang.
Xu Da: ...
Alright, if that's the case, he'll eat and drink his fill before looking for Young Master Yu, believing that the man must be inside Wenjun Tower.
Once the food and wine were served, Xu Da didn't let Lin Yuesha touch her chopsticks, but instead examined each dish carefully.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Lin Yuesha suddenly remembered that Ziyuan had also said that some of the dishes at the brothel were problematic, that they were drugged to induce hallucinations.
In this way, the chosen beauty can be replaced with a courtesan who doesn't usually get any customers.
"Cousin, you are inexperienced in the ways of the world, it would be best to be more cautious."
Xu Da had seen this kind of powder many times in the Five Cities Garrison. Wenjunlou was quite polite to the two of them, at least the powder was added to the wine but not to the dishes.
"Your Excellencies, I, Fengzhu and Suizhu, greet you."
A moment later, two young men dressed in white gauze arrived. After paying their respects, they sat in a corner, where servants brought out string and wind instruments. Fengzhu played music, and Suizhu sang.
The two were focused on their performance and did not engage in the flirtatious behavior that Lin Yuesha had imagined, which relieved her.
She was just worried about what to do if the beauty wanted to take her into her arms; it seemed like she was at a disadvantage.
Xu Da lowered his head, lost in thought, and remained silent.
Drinking and spending time with beautiful women in the room is not a solution; we must find a way to go find Young Master Yu.
Lin Yuesha had some experience, so she volunteered. Moreover, she was young and a new face, so she wasn't afraid of being recognized.
"Cousin, I'm going to the restroom."
Lin Yuesha made an excuse to slip out the door, and was hesitating about where to look for someone.
Wenjun Tower was very large, and everyone who came was in a private room. There was music playing everywhere, so she couldn't visit every room.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out downstairs.
Lin Yuesha pushed open the window and looked down, and was stunned by what she saw.
The man downstairs was Xu Bo, the steward of the Xu family whom she had met earlier that day. Beside him was a lady whose face was half covered, with only her eyes showing. The two of them headed straight for Wenjun Tower, one after the other.
"Madam, you'd better not go."
Xu Bo hadn't expected his plan to backfire. He was now sweating profusely and wanted to persuade his wife that they shouldn't make a scene, as the young master also had his pride.
It's all Xu San's fault. He insisted on returning to the manor to report that the young master had come to Wenjun Tower to enjoy himself. Now, the young master's homosexual tendencies are confirmed.
"What do you mean I can't go? If he dares to be gay, can't I go and arrest him?"
Madam Xu first wept and wailed, and then decided to arrest Xu Da by wearing a mask and take him back for severe torture.
Coming to a place like Wenjun Tower is even more shameful than messing around with Prince Luo. I heard that Prince Luo didn't go and kicked them off the carriage. Could it be that he couldn't stand being kicked away by his son, so he opened Wenjun Tower to vent his anger? That good-for-nothing son, that scoundrel!
Madam Xu was so angry that her heart ached, and she was about to rush in.
Uncle Xu tried to stop her, but Madam Xu retorted angrily, "This place isn't just for men, it can accommodate women too. Do you think you can kick me out just because I have money?"
Madam Xu stormed upstairs, and Lin Yuesha heard everything clearly.
Oh no, this sounds like a huge misunderstanding!
After Madam Xu rushed in, she searched for people in each door. Lin Yuesha wanted to warn Xu Da to hide, but suddenly she noticed a figure walking out from a corner. The person hurriedly went downstairs.
It's Young Master Yu, he's out!
"Amitabha Buddha, may Brother Xu have good fortune."
Lin Yuesha hurried downstairs, following Yu Zicheng at a leisurely pace.
"Bang……"
Mrs. Xu searched for the person floor by floor, making a great commotion. When she pushed the door open forcefully and saw the scene inside, she almost fainted.
Two young men dressed in white veils danced, and Xu Da sat in the main seat to watch. He hadn't chosen just one person, but two—two men!
The Xu family line has been completely extinguished today!
"Mother, what brings you here?"
Xu Da nearly fell off his chair, speechless with astonishment. His mother was always fierce, so he wasn't surprised that she had found his way here, but how did she know he had come to Wenjun Tower?
"How do you think I knew that? You still have the nerve to ask?"
Madam Xu was so angry that she had to lean against the wall to stand up. Her vision went black, and she swayed for a long time before she could find her voice.
What a fine young man! He insists on liking men and even has two companions. He has fallen so low. Is this really her son?
"Your father is turning in his grave."
Madam Xu was heartbroken and pointed at Xu Da.
"Mother, my father is still alive."
Such words were too unlucky. Xu Da argued that his father had only gone to the ancestral grave to keep vigil for three years because of his grandfather's death, and had not returned for more than two years.
"Bullshit, do you think I don't know your dad sleeps in a coffin every day?"
To keep vigil, they went to the ancestral grave and slept in a coffin by themselves. One of the father and son was mentally unstable, and the other was even more extreme, having homosexual tendencies. She was going crazy!
