Chapter 507 Exposing Shortcomings
Family scandals should not be aired in public. Besides, Xu Da dared not say a bad word about his mother, otherwise he would face even more cruel torture.
"I heard from the servants that you brought me food. Where is it?"
Xu Da stared at Lin Yuesha's hands, which were empty. Although he was mentally prepared, he still wanted to struggle a little.
"I gave some to Auntie. Cousin, if you want some, I can make some more."
Cooking is Lin Yuesha's forte. With the help of the large kitchen, she can cook whatever ingredients she has without any trouble. Moreover, seeing Xu Da get beaten up, she felt that he needed to recover.
"Cousin, you understand me best."
Xu Da was deeply moved, but also felt uneasy. He hadn't wanted to run away last night; it was his mother who had found Wenjun Tower, something he hadn't expected.
In Madam Xu's words, not only was he a homosexual with two male prostitutes, but he also stole her expensive face powder, so she had to deal with him.
Xu Da thought about it all night. It was probably because his mother's face powder was too expensive, otherwise she wouldn't have been so angry.
The problem is that her mother believes her lover is Prince Luo, and that Prince Luo has a new lover and that he has been dumped—what kind of logic is that!
What does the fact that the Prince of Luo is not getting married have to do with him? He's been wronged!
"What exactly happened after I left yesterday?"
Xu Da took leave today and didn't even leave the house. He had originally planned to send someone to invite Lin Yuesha.
"I don't blame you for leaving early without saying goodbye, but why didn't you pay the bill?"
Lin Yuesha was filled with grief and indignation. Fortunately, she did not want to take credit for herself, so she returned to Wenjun Tower to deliver a letter to Xu Da, only to be detained and asked for money.
Four hundred taels! Where was she supposed to get the money? If she hadn't seen the man with the big mole, she really wouldn't know what to do. Let alone asking the Prince of Luo's mansion for money, if she dared to bring out the Prince of Luo, her fate would be even worse.
"Ha ha."
Lin Yuesha's grief-stricken expression amused Xu Da, who burst into laughter. As he laughed, the wound on the corner of his mouth reopened, and he gasped in shock.
Lin Yuesha coldly observed Xu Da's gloating expression. "Hmph, he got his comeuppance."
"Cousin, I'm so sorry, there was an emergency last night."
Xu Da kept apologizing, but even if he were there, there was nothing he could do, as he didn't have any money with him.
"Young Master Luo sent the two of us to Wenjun Tower without paying us?"
Lin Yuesha was shocked. Could it be that it wasn't public funds being used for the purchase? If she had known, she wouldn't have ordered any food or drinks and would have just found the least attractive male prostitute.
"Give me the money, Your Highness is not short of a few coins, it's just that I forgot about this yesterday."
Xu Da thought to himself, it was his mother who saved him. Fortunately, he left first after the incident last night. Although he felt somewhat apologetic to Lin Yuesha, at least he wasn't the one who was embarrassed.
"Is that so?"
Lin Yuesha despised Xu Da. The supposedly aloof and unapproachable Deputy Commander Xu was actually a gloating little man.
Anyone can gloat. Xu Da was dragged back because Madam Xu misunderstood him. Look at his bruised and swollen face, tsk tsk, you can tell he was beaten up quite a bit.
"Your aunt suspects you're gay. Cousin, tell me the truth, you're not really, are you?"
The saying "three men can make a tiger" applies here; everyone was saying it, and Lin Yuesha believed it too. Moreover, she later understood that Madam Xu seemed to think highly of her.
"Yes, my mother is a bit indiscriminate in her eating habits."
Xu Da admitted this, that he actually had designs on a young girl who hadn't even reached marriageable age. He wasn't gay; his aesthetic sense was perfectly normal.
What do you mean by that?
Lin Yuesha took out a small bronze mirror from her sleeve. Her face was beautiful, but a little immature, because she was young.
"That means I also like beautiful women with graceful figures."
Xu Da readily admitted this, but due to the trauma left by his mother since childhood, he wanted to find a gentle woman.
Lin Yuesha: ...
The two stopped wasting time and got down to business.
Last night, Lin Yuesha followed Young Master Yu and discovered that he had a residence in Taipingfang. Because the walls were too high and it was quiet at night, Lin Yuesha could not see what was happening inside.
Are you sure that's his house?
Xu Da took out his brush and ink to draw a sketch. He was very familiar with several main streets in the capital and could recreate the mansion based on his memory.
Is this the place?
Xu Da asked Lin Yue Sha.
"Yes, I'm sure, he said it himself to the burly man who came to chase me from Wenjun Tower."
Lin Yuesha looked helpless. She had a very miserable night and hardly slept at all, but she also gained a lot. She not only learned about Yu Zicheng's residence in Taipingfang, but also unexpectedly learned about the courtyard where her scumbag father, Lin Shusheng, kept his mistress.
After discussing it, the two decided that the courtyard was the most important thing, so they decided to find a way to enter Young Master Yu's residence and at least find out who lived there.
After reaching an agreement, Xu Da took Lin Yuesha away from the mansion and headed straight for the Prince of Luo's mansion.
“Miss Lin, you have done me a great favor this time. I have already acted as the middleman for that courtyard house. As long as you give me 30,000 taels of silver, you can move in at any time.”
The Prince of Luo heard about what happened last night. He was drinking at the restaurant at the time, and when he found out, he laughed so hard his stomach hurt, and he still feels a bit uncomfortable from the laughter.
Xu Da and Lin Yuesha, their lives are so tragic.
Even as compensation, it's not good to dampen the little girl's enthusiasm.
"Really?"
The King of Luo's words immediately healed all of Lin Yuesha's pain. It seems we should urge the craftsmen to finish making the bed and other items and send them to the mansion as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, please speak. Although the house has changed hands, I will still do my duty and run errands for the case."
Lin Yuesha rubbed her hands together, feeling very happy. She had initially encountered setbacks everywhere in the capital, but her luck had recently turned around, which she found incredible.
After all, Yan Yan still relies on Prince Luo and Xu Da for support, so she has to curry favor with them.
"Then think about it, how can you go to Young Master Yu's residence in Taipingfang during the day?"
The Prince of Luo presented Lin Yuesha with a difficult problem: to avoid arousing suspicion by going during the day, they needed to find a legitimate reason.
Lin Yuesha lowered her head in thought. It wouldn't be easy to get in. Usually, if she knocked on the door, she would be turned away at the door and would never have the chance to enter the house. So she had no idea who lived inside.
Are those missing pregnant women who haven't been found still in Young Master Yu's mansion?
"I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."
Lin Yuesha thought for a quarter of an hour, and finally thought of the kites that women like to fly. She could go back to dressing as a woman and find a way to break the string when the kite was flying over the young master's mansion.
However, while this provides an excuse to enter Young Master Yu's courtyard, it must be done with precision.
"Alright, there's no time to lose. The sooner the better. I have kites in my residence. You and Xu Da go now."
The Prince of Luo made the decision, and the three of them went out together. The Prince of Luo had already mobilized the soldiers of the Five Cities Garrison, and if there was anything suspicious about Lin Yuesha, they would immediately go to search her place.
Because she needed to be dressed as a woman, Lin Yuesha was taken to a cosmetics shop. The Prince of Luo instructed the female shop assistant to do Lin Yuesha's makeup and prepare some jewelry, dressing her up as a young lady from a wealthy family.
