Chapter 25
"Girl, is it really appropriate for the two of us to go to a place like that?"
Ji Xiang was feeling very uneasy.
She had heard that such places were very chaotic, and that two respectable young women like them might get into trouble if they went there.
Yunxi paused in her steps.
It was she who overlooked it.
"Then you wait outside for a while, I'll go in by myself," Yunxi said.
No matter what, she had to make way for Granny Liu.
Jixiang was afraid that Yunxi would take the opportunity to run away, so she looked troubled. But Yunxi did not back down either. The two were in a stalemate when a somewhat familiar voice suddenly rang out from the side: "Miss Chenxi, Miss Jixiang!"
The two turned their heads and saw Jing Yuan running towards them.
Jingyuan ran up to him, her breathing slightly rapid, but she quickly regained her composure: "Going any further is not a place for a young lady. Let's hurry back."
Yunxi and Jixiang exchanged a glance, then looked at him together: "Young Master Jingyuan, what are you doing here?"
Jing Yuan scratched his head.
After having breakfast with the two men, he went to the Hanlin Academy, but Shen Rang frowned as soon as he saw him, saying that the two men had never left the academy, and sent him away again, telling him to come along.
Although Jingyuan was puzzled as to why his young master cared so much about the two maids, he dared not ask while he was in the Hanlin Academy and left in a hurry.
Fortunately, Yunxi and Jixiang had been wandering the streets all morning, and Jingyuan quickly found them.
He originally intended to protect them secretly, but he didn't expect the two girls to go to the Shy Flower Pavilion, so he had no choice but to reveal himself.
"It was just a coincidence, nothing more!" Jing Yuan grinned. "Let's not talk about anything else, we really can't go any further, let's hurry up and leave!"
Yunxi shook her head: "Young Master Jingyuan, I promised someone that I would go to Xiuhua Pavilion to find a girl for her. Although I am just a young woman, I do not want to break my promise."
Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan's eyes flashed.
I see.
Ji Xiang's gaze also became complicated.
Is this person really so willing to disregard even their own well-being for the sake of a single sentence?
“I never expected Miss Chenxi to be such a trustworthy person,” Jing Yuan said with deep respect. “Who are you looking for? I’ll go and make the trip for you.”
Yunxi was reluctant to entrust this matter to others, but before she could speak, Jixiang tugged at her sleeve: "Miss, Young Master Jingyuan is a man, so it's easier for him to move around in that kind of place than for us."
That's a good point.
Yunxi nodded: "Then we'll have to trouble Young Master Jingyuan. The person we're looking for... we don't know what her name is in the Xiuhua Pavilion. We only know that her real name is Doukou, and she has a flower-shaped birthmark on her left shoulder. Please ask Young Master Jingyuan how much silver it would cost to redeem her."
"Okay, I understand. You guys go to the teahouse and have a seat. I'll be back in a bit."
After Jing Yuan finished speaking, he left, and the two of them found a tea stall nearby and sat down.
Meanwhile, Jing Yuan was also visiting such a place for the first time. Although he pretended to be calm, he couldn't hide his panic inside.
Upon arriving at Xiuhua Pavilion, Jingyuan was almost overwhelmed by the strong scent of perfume and powder as soon as he entered.
"Oh, young master, is this your first time visiting here?"
A woman swayed her hips as she walked towards him, her eyes darting up and down. Jing Yuan suddenly felt as if he had been stripped naked and displayed to the public.
The woman's dress was extremely brightly colored, and her face was covered with a thick layer of makeup. As she approached, a cheap perfume scent wafted over, and Jing Yuan subconsciously held his breath.
