Chapter 661 Lin Yuesha's Advice
Wenjunlou was located in the busiest area of Taipingfang, a noisy place with a high platform erected at the entrance where male prostitutes would dance to attract customers.
At first, Lin Yuesha didn't hear any noise downstairs, but after a while, it suddenly quieted down, and the shouting became much clearer.
"Wei Lan and Bai Dingfeng came to Wenjun Tower for a secret rendezvous?"
Qin Nanyan found it unbelievable. She was hiding here because she had nowhere else to go. Among the places frequented by men, only Wenjun Tower was safe. Otherwise, as Bai Cha said, she would have gone to the men's bathhouse to hide.
"Besides being greedy and ripping people off, what unique charm does Wenjunlou have?"
Last night, Qin Nanyan escaped to Wenjun Tower and was arranged to stay in a room by herself. However, a drunken and lewd old man came to knock on the door at night, scaring her and Yuli so much that they dared not breathe.
What she didn't understand was why Wei Lan had gotten together with the Bai siblings and even came to Wenjun Tower together.
Could it be that all of this was Lin Yue'e's idea?
"You're overthinking it. It's not like that. It has nothing to do with Lin Yue'e."
Perhaps because she had been tricked, Qin Nanyan had an inexplicable fear of Lin Yue'e, always thinking that it was Lin Yue'e's idea for the three of them to come here and that it was related to her.
"I suspect it was Bai Youran who instigated it."
Lin Yuesha recounted how she met the Bai siblings and others while riding in Prince Luo's carriage. At the time, the coachman casually mentioned Wenjun Tower, which may have been unintentional on the part of the speaker but taken to heart by the listener. Perhaps Bai Youran had taken notice of it.
As for Bai Dingfeng, he appears to be a gentleman on the surface, but he is extremely despicable at heart. Lin Yuesha feels disgusted whenever she mentions the brother and sister.
Bai Dingfeng was very serious. He came to Wenjun Tower mostly to curry favor. If he could get in touch with Prince Luo, he would have a better position in the Bai family.
In short, these people always try to curry favor with others to climb the social ladder in one fell swoop.
"Wei Lan is the young lady of the Wei family and the Empress's own sister. How could she disregard a woman's reputation and actually come to Wenjun Tower to have a secret rendezvous with a married man? She is a disgrace to the Wei family!"
Lin Yuesha pushed open the window and saw a masked man jump onto the high platform in front of Wenjun Tower, shouting loudly. He banged on a clapper as he shouted, "Everyone come and see! Come and see inside Wenjun Tower! Everyone who goes in will receive five taels of silver!"
Qin Nanyan hid behind the window screen and looked down as well. There were countless people dressed in black and masked in black on the whole street. They shouted and made a fuss, spreading the news everywhere. In an instant, everyone knew about it.
Even if it's not true, it's still very unethical to ruin someone's reputation like this, especially since Wei Lan represents the Empress's image.
"Even though the Empress has no children, she can still offend people. Who on earth has such audacity?"
Qin Nanyan was in a low mood, but when she saw those men in black jumping around with torches, she found it amusing and a smile appeared on her lips.
Upon seeing this, Yu Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I've heard something, but I don't know if it's related to anything."
Before he became paralyzed from riding a horse, Young Master Wei was a lecherous man. At a young age, he was a regular at brothels in the capital, and his methods were so despicable that even the courtesans could not tolerate him.
Despite the tragic death of Hua Niang, Young Master Wei remained indifferent and continued to do as he pleased.
So when he fell from his horse and became paralyzed, many people in the capital secretly cheered.
"I don't know exactly how badly Young Master Wei was injured, but he was pushed out for a stroll and took a fancy to a relative from a minor official's family who was visiting our mansion. They forcibly tied him up and brought him back to our mansion."
A few days later, the poor woman died tragically. The minor official was like a quail in front of the Wei family, and the Wei family only gave him some silver to get rid of him.
So what if the other party is an official? Human life is worthless. Not to mention, the Wei family has to buy new servants every now and then, and people often die in the young master Wei's courtyard.
If she harbors resentment towards Young Master Wei, it's not impossible for her to take revenge on Wei Lan.
Lin Yuesha realized that things weren't so simple. It didn't matter who the mastermind was; what mattered was that these men in black were making a ruckus in an organized and disciplined manner, which might attract the attention of the city's defense forces or the Five Cities Garrison.
Moreover, with money to be won, one could also enjoy the spectacle. A crowd of onlookers surged in from downstairs, and the few servants at the entrance of Wenjun Tower could no longer hold them off.
A servant stumbled and was immediately pushed aside, and the crowd excitedly surged in.
The Empress's younger sister is having an affair with a stranger. What do these two shameless men look like? Is the Empress's younger sister as beautiful as an angel?
The law does not punish the masses, and the crowd rushed in with questions, and in an instant, the corridor of Wenjun Building was packed with people.
"Yu Li, quickly lock the door!"
Lin Yuesha was quite helpless. It was clearly these three people who had offended their enemies, and the enemies had come looking for trouble, but it was Lin Yuesha who ended up suffering the consequences.
"Open the door, open the door and let me in! I can give you silver!"
As luck would have it, Wei Lan knocked on Qin Nanyan's door.
"Don't let her in!"
Wei Lan and Qin Nanyan are acquainted. If Wei Lan were to discover Qin Nanyan's hiding place, she would surely report it to the authorities.
"Get lost, I'm not wearing any clothes!"
Lin Yuesha shouted in a rough voice, "Are you Miss Wei or Miss Bai? Didn't you even find a decent private room for your rendezvous? Or are you trying to spy on me?"
Lin Yuesha deliberately spoke bluntly, which angered Wei Lan so much that she cursed loudly. She hid behind Bai Dingfeng and, seeing that the doors on this floor were tightly closed, hurriedly ran upstairs.
Of all the rooms in Wenjun Tower, only the door to Prince Luo's private room was half-open. Xu Da had intended to leave the door open for Lin Yuesha, but Wei Lan led the Bai siblings in to hide inside.
"You...you guys?"
The Prince of Luo asked Xiao Qi to go to the inner room, looking at the three of them with a puzzled expression.
The steps leading in were too high, and Bai Youran fell flat on her face in a sorry state. At this moment, she didn't even have the courage to lift her head.
Who is it? Who exactly is it? Why do they know so much about the three people's plan and even spread it around, just to ruin her reputation?
Bai Youran never imagined how she would be dealt with if this matter reached the Bai family.
The news must be suppressed; we still need Wei Lan's help.
"Young Master Luo, please step forward and explain."
With tears in her voice, Wei Lan had secretly left the mansion. Her parents turned a blind eye, but if they found out that she and Bai Dingfeng had come to Wenjun Tower for a secret rendezvous, they would definitely break her legs!
"Explain what?"
The Prince of Luo stroked his chin and said in a displeased tone, "Now you should first explain why you appeared in the private room I reserved."
"this……"
Wei Lan was very anxious, but she couldn't say that she wanted to introduce Bai Dingfeng to Prince Luo. Seeing Xu Da sitting next to her as steady as Mount Tai, she simply dragged Xu Da into the conversation: "Wei Lan has always admired Lord Xu. Today, by chance, I met Lord Xu at Wenjun Tower. Rumors are circulating that Lord Xu has homosexual tendencies. Wei Lan couldn't believe it, so she had no choice but to change into men's clothing and come along to see for herself."
Xu Da, who was watching the drama unfold: ...
What does it have to do with him? What does it have to do with him?
Did Wei Lan think he was easy to bully because of his low official rank?
“Miss Wei, if you truly admire me, then I will inform my mother that I will go to the Wei family to propose marriage tomorrow.”
Xu Da wanted to curse, but then he remembered his cousin Lin Yuesha's advice: to be mindful of his image. If he encountered an annoying woman, he didn't need to curse her; he could just say he wanted to marry her, which would surely scare her away.
