Chapter 660 A Meeting Too Late
Xu Da never expected that Qi Heng, a scholar, would have such unique insights into military strategy. Qi Heng was able to answer all of Xu Da's questions.
Just then, Lin Yuesha, who had just spoken with Qin Nanyan, suddenly heard the bad news. Xu Da and Kong Que hit it off immediately and offered to stay overnight to take care of Kong Que's business. He wanted to have a long talk with Kong Que by candlelight.
Lin Yuesha: ...
Impossible, that's nonsense!
Lin Yuesha suspected that the messenger had misheard her and must not have explained it clearly.
First of all, Kong Que was a scholar with outstanding poetry and prose skills. However, Xu Da hated pretentious poetry the most. He always looked down on scholars, believing that they were only good at talking. If the enemy invaded, could a scholar stay put and reason with them?
If a horse tramples you, you'll die.
Xu Da repeatedly argued that scholars were ruining the country, which was quite extreme.
How long has he spent with the peacock, and they're already having a long talk by candlelight? Could it be that meeting the peacock made him suddenly realize that the reason he hasn't married isn't for achieving great things, but because he's attracted to men...?
Lin Yuesha broke out in a cold sweat. It was she who suggested coming to Wenjun Tower, and she couldn't let Madam Xu down!
"Sister Qin, wait for me a moment, I'm going upstairs to take a look."
Lin Yuesha wiped away a cold sweat, greeted Qin Nanyan, and hurriedly headed out.
"Be careful, take this with you."
Qin Nanyan handed Lin Yuesha a folding fan. Wenjun Tower was a mixed bag, with many lewd men. If they saw Lin Yuesha with her red lips and white teeth, they might get handsy. It was better to cover her face with a folding fan.
"good."
Lin Yuesha hurriedly went out, wanting to find Xu Da and ask him what was going on. She had just reached the corner of the stairs when she heard someone shouting in front of her.
"Young Master Bai and I are acquaintances of Young Master Luo. We need to go to the private room where he is."
When Bai Dingfeng first arrived at Wenjun Tower, he was quite reserved. He was mistaken for a new male prostitute named Kong Que because he recited a poem, and it took him a while to explain himself.
Peacock went to accompany Prince Luo to compose poems, and Bai Dingfeng also wanted to show off in front of Prince Luo, but he couldn't even get into the other party's private room.
Upon seeing this, Wei Lan naturally spoke up for Bai Dingfeng. If Bai Dingfeng was favored by the Prince of Luo, she could ask her parents to let her marry Bai Dingfeng.
As for Li Ruoxue, Wei Lan never even considered her. She could simply assign Li Ruoxue a lover and divorce him for violating the seven grounds for divorce.
Bai Youran was also anxious; it seemed that they were a little late.
We finally arrived at Wenjun Tower. This was the closest we'd ever gotten to the Prince of Luo. We had to succeed.
"Here's some silver; how about you go and inform them?"
Wei Lan was very impatient. She casually took out a silver ingot and gave it to the servant, saying, "Just say that the young master of the Wei family requests an audience."
Wei Lan used her elder brother's name, so it was impossible for the Prince of Luo not to see her.
"Young master, you probably don't know what kind of place our Wenjun Tower is, do you?"
The servant refused the money and gave Wei Lan a mocking glance. She was clearly a woman; she spoke in a delicate voice and still had her ears pierced, so it was probably her first time here.
"I know, it's a brothel."
Wei Lan's tone was dismissive.
"You know this is a brothel, a place for pleasure-seeking. If the Prince of Luo is doing business here, would I be courting him?
He wouldn't dare accept ten taels of silver to deliver a message; his life was more important than ten taels of silver.
"Nonsense! Young Master Luo appreciates talent and indulges in refined pursuits. They were discussing music, chess, calligraphy, and painting!"
Therefore, Wei Lan decided to bring Bai Dingfeng in. Bai Dingfeng was a talented poet, and she liked all the poems she had read.
"Oh my, young lady, you've been hiding under Young Master Luo's bed. You know everything he does."
The servant was very impatient and exposed Wei Lan's identity in public, saying, "If you want someone to accompany you, there are plenty of male prostitutes in Wenjun Tower. As for Young Master Luo, he is not someone you can covet."
After saying that, the young man still wasn't satisfied, so he pointed at Bai Dingfeng and suggested to Wei Lan, "I think this young master is quite good-looking. Why don't you come and register at our Wenjun Tower? That way, you might be able to meet Young Master Luo!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Wei Lan couldn't help but curse and wanted to fight the servant, but Bai Dingfeng stopped her.
They've already lost enough by throwing a tantrum since they couldn't see the Prince of Luo; they absolutely can't afford to lose face any more. They might as well leave sooner and plan their next move.
"I won't!"
Wei Lan was furious. She was certain that not being able to see Prince Luo was humiliating enough, but to be looked down upon by a mere servant was even worse. What was even more infuriating was that her beloved was being forced to become a male prostitute...
What do they take her for? A scheming woman who sent her beloved to the Prince of Luo in order to rise to power?
She, Wei Lan, is the daughter of the Wei family and the Empress's younger sister!
Lin Yuesha witnessed everything and quickly ran back. What were these plague gods doing here?
If she weren't afraid of being recognized, she could have continued watching the spectacle for a while longer. It seems that even Bai Dingfeng, who isn't the most shameless and unscrupulous, has his conditions.
"Sister Yue Sha, has something happened? Why are you back so quickly?"
Qin Nanyan was aware of the tense atmosphere outside, and Wenjun Tower would occasionally send people to inform her of the news.
To hide here, she would need to spend ten thousand taels of silver. Although it was expensive, it would ensure her and Yuli's safety.
"Just as you expected, we ran into someone we knew."
Lin Yuesha shook the folding fan in her hand. Qin Nanyan was very thoughtful; otherwise, she was too familiar with the Bai siblings and might have been recognized.
Lin Yuesha briefly recounted the affairs of the manor, and Lin Shusheng howled like a pig being slaughtered. After finishing her business, Lin Yuesha didn't sleep but immediately began the celebration.
"The Qin family mansion has also been implicated. There are Imperial Guards guarding the entrance to the Qin family mansion now, just to cooperate with the investigation."
When Qin Nanyan heard the news from the Qin family, she was unexpectedly pleasantly surprised. Those heartless venomous snakes who drove her mother to her death and then sold their daughter for personal gain deserved their fate.
Even if he doesn't end up being implicated by himself and parting ways with the Lin family, he won't be able to cause trouble for long.
"Wanted posters have been plastered all over the city recently, so you have to be careful."
Lin Yuesha told Qin Nanyan not to do anything foolish by going out, and that she would send her money if she needed it.
"Moonlight Maiden, thank you."
Qin Nanyan could only repeatedly express her gratitude; she simply didn't know what else to say.
The two were talking when they suddenly heard a commotion downstairs, with someone banging on a wooden clapper.
Lin Yuesha's heart tightened. Could it be that the search team had come to Wenjun Tower?
Qin Nanyan was also like a frightened bird; since escaping, she no longer wanted to die.
Her mother committed suicide to protect her from marriage, so she should live a good life, not disappoint her mother Zhou, and not let Zhou die in vain.
"They shouldn't be the ones conducting the search."
Lin Yuesha listened carefully; the commotion was outside, but no one had rushed into Wenjun Tower.
"The Empress's younger sister, Miss Wei Lan, has brought Bai Dingfeng and Bai Youran, the Bai siblings, to Wenjun Tower for your amusement!"
"Wei Lan, Bai Dingfeng and Bai Youran are looking for male prostitutes at Wenjun Tower!"
"Wei Lan and Bai Dingfeng are having a secret rendezvous at Wenjun Tower, providing cover for Bai Youran to find male prostitutes!"
Lin Yuesha listened intently and wondered what kind of nonsense was being discussed outside, how all these people had been exposed!
