Hongzhou looked at Qingluo with displeasure. He had brought two famous courtesans to ensure Hongxiang and Hongang had a good time. But Qingluo hadn't shown any interest.
"It seems that your good sister Yu Ning might be able to get close to Hong Ang. As for you, with this air of indifference, do you still want to go back to singing?" Hong Zhou scolded sternly. He was still thinking of getting them out of the brothel, but this Qing Luo was really disappointing.
Tears welled in Qingluo's eyes as she leaned closer to Hongzhou. "Young Master, Qingluo's heart belongs to you."
Hongzhou frowned slightly and shook off her reaching hand.
"I didn't even look at you, yet you're still throwing yourself at me like this. Aren't you shameless?" Hong Zhou initially had a decent impression of Qing Luo, but as she tried so hard to seduce him, he grew increasingly disgusted with her.
Seeing herself humiliated by Hongzhou like this, Qingluo was even more unwilling to let go and said, "Young master, since you don't like Qingluo, why did you help Qingluo redeem herself?"
Hongzhou turned his head and said sternly, "Miss Qingluo is probably overthinking things. I helped you redeem yourself because you did something for me. If you don't want to, I don't have to redeem you!"
Seeing Hongzhou's heartlessness, Qingluo could no longer refuse. "Since that's the case... then Qingluo will take her leave." Qingluo left Qingsong Courtyard reluctantly.
Although Hongzhou wasn't drunk, he was still a little dizzy. Xiaotian helped Hongzhou down to rest, "Master, it's actually fine for you to play along with Miss Qingluo!" After all, so many playboys in the capital want to get close to Miss Qingluo, but none of them can.
Hongzhou looked up at Xiaotian with a sharp gaze. "Xiaotian! My heart belongs only to my wife! Don't say such things again!" Xiaotian had never seen Hongzhou so stern before. She shut her mouth and dared not say another word.
After noon, Hongzhou took his two brothers, Hongxiang and Hongang, along with the two courtesans, Qingluo and Yu Ning, to the horse farm to choose horses. Hongang chatted and laughed with Yu Ning the whole way, holding her in his arms the entire time. He would occasionally lean down and whisper to her.
Seeing this, Hongzhou guessed that the two had finished their business during their lunch break. Hongxiang watched them with a smile, "Your Highness, after this hunting trip, I suppose my brother will be bringing a sister-in-law back with him!"
Hongzhou, seeing Hongang with the beauty in his arms, laughed loudly, "You'll have to ask your brother about that!" The two teased each other, looking at Hongang, whose smile grew even wider. He did indeed like Yu Ning. Although she was a courtesan, taking her as a concubine wasn't out of the question. Her temperament was aloof and obedient, and he truly liked her.
Hong Ang didn't speak, but simply hugged Yu Ning tighter. Yu Ning smiled at Hong Ang from within his embrace, remaining silent.
Qingluo fell behind, watching Yu Ning and Hong Ang being so affectionate in front of her, and felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
Looking at Hongzhou chatting and laughing ahead, Qingluo felt even more resentful. In the past, all those young masters had tried to woo her, but Hongzhou was completely indifferent to her. Qingluo's desire to seduce Hongzhou grew stronger.
The five quickly arrived at the horse farm. Hong Ang led out a docile white horse, intending to ride it with Yu Ning. Hong Zhou led out a spirited red-brown horse, which was faster. Hong Xiang laughed, "I suppose my brother isn't in the mood to race with us, Your Highness, why don't we have a contest instead!"
Hongzhou readily agreed.
"Young master, may I ride with you on one horse?" Qingluo said sweetly, "I don't know how to ride a horse."
