The man quickly handed the jade pendant to her and immediately turned and left.
Wan Ge frowned slightly, said nothing, and left with Yue Qiwan beside her.
Yue Qiwan lowered her head, thinking about the man's invitation. Would the general go?
Just then, Yue Qiwan saw something fly off her singer and land in the nearby river with a thud.
The jade pendant that was originally worn by the singer at the evening party has disappeared without a trace.
Ruanruan looked at Wan Ge, who was so determined. That man was the top courtesan in Nanci. He sold his art but not his body, and no matter how much money she was willing to pay, she could not see him.
As expected of an adult, she remains steadfast even when faced with a handsome man!
Yue Qiwan was also taken aback by her actions and paused for a moment, but couldn't hide the smile on her lips. Fortunately, the bamboo hat covered her at this moment.
At the same time, Yue Qiwan also felt that she couldn't see through Wan Ge. She would reject such a handsome man without even hesitating. What kind of person could win her heart?
When Yue Qiwan looked down, he saw the folding fan in his hand. Long before his mood improved, Wange had stopped holding his hand.
She probably held his hand at first because she sensed his fear.
…
Wan Ge took Yue Qiwan back to his room, told him to get some rest, and then deal with the problems with those women.
When she returned, her people had already done the investigation for her. Looking at the letter in her hand, Wan Ge learned that the other party was a notorious local bully.
Her mother was a local official, and her father's family was the richest in Nanci City. She was spoiled from a young age and never failed to get what she wanted. She had also done her fair share of harassing men, and there were even more outrageous acts that went beyond simple harassment.
When the Empress returned, she learned of this incident and was furious. What was most despicable was that it happened in front of her own son.
Fortunately, with Wan Ge's protection, Yue Qiwan didn't suffer any major problems, otherwise...
…
The Empress dealt with the matter that very day. One person's actions implicated their entire family, and the families of those women also suffered. Moreover, the Empress issued a decree to the world, letting everyone see what the consequences would be, and vowing that no one would be spared once discovered, regardless of their status.
Visiting brothels to seek pleasure is a matter of mutual consent, and the Empress certainly wouldn't interfere. However, deliberately harassing men or doing anything more serious is absolutely unacceptable.
…
That night, the man holding the pipa at Yunxian Pavilion waited for the woman with the jade pendant to arrive. But she didn't come even after the middle of the night.
As he was leaving, he suddenly heard about what had happened that day. He learned of the fate of the woman who had tried to harass him, and he thought of Wan Ge; that woman must be no ordinary person.
Although the clothes she was wearing looked like those of ordinary people, her demeanor and other aspects were completely different.
Moreover, he didn't initially care about her status; he was genuinely attracted to her because she was so beautiful and had saved him.
But now… it’s obvious that the other party’s identity is not simple. Thinking back to the royal family’s return for the sacrificial ceremony, even if she isn’t royalty, she must be an adult with a significant background.
