The next day, the swelling on Jiang Yulin's face had subsided a lot. He was still thinking about what happened in the brothel yesterday, and wondered if Xue Ning was feeling better today.
Fu Yunxi was eager to go out. She had just rented a shop and ordered the cloth. She also drew a lot of manuscripts last night, so she wanted to open the shop as soon as possible.
So when Jiang Yulin suggested going out, the two of them hit it off.
After getting consent from Old Lady Jiang, the two of them left the house. However, Mother Jiang instructed them to go to the clinic to check out the injuries on Jiang Yulin's face.
When they arrived at the old brand again, the two of them parted ways very tacitly.
Fu Yunxi used the little money he had left to pay for the fabric and went up to the second floor of the shop he rented.
Yesterday I only looked at the storefront on the first floor and didn’t go upstairs.
Only now do I realize that the room on the second floor where miscellaneous items are stored is quite large, with large windows on both sides providing a wide view.
What surprised her most was that the other side of the window was the brothel.
From the second floor, you can clearly see the scene outside the flower building.
There were two beautiful women standing at the door, and they seemed to be greeting the men passing by the brothel.
Most men passing by would take a few glances inside, and many men were pulled into the brothel.
At first, the business in this area was not very good. The shops were all restaurants, pharmacies, etc. The shop owners who had rented Fu Yunxi's shop before all lost money because the rouge and clothes that women liked were all on the other side, which was the right side of the brothel, and they didn't notice the corner here.
The shop owner was in a hurry to rent out the shop, so Fu Yunxi rented the shop because he thought the rent was cheap. He never expected that it was such a coincidence that there was a brothel next to the shop he rented.
However, Fu Yunxi thought that this could be put to good use. He could have the second floor cleaned up and put a few tea tables next to the windows for people to drink tea.
She hired a shopkeeper and a tailor, gave the tailor her drawings, and also found a few clever little maids.
The tailor was amazed by the design of the hidden buttons and the addition of lace on the cheongsam. He had been a tailor for decades, but this was the first time he had seen such a novel idea.
But since his boss asked him to do it, he just did it.
At this time, Fu Yunxi, who was busy on the second floor, saw a familiar figure. It turned out to be Jiang Yulin who was kicked out.
Fu Yunxi's mouth twitched, and he prepared to continue watching the fun.
It turned out that Jiang Yulin originally wanted to see Liu Xuening today, but Gu Nancheng had already gone there.
In order to avoid the situation that happened yesterday, Mom naturally stopped Liu Xuening from going in.
Jiang Yulin was persuaded by his mother, so he waited in the next room for someone to come out. He felt so depressed.
As a result, I heard Liu Xuening not only playing the piano, but also singing a little tune.
When Jiang Yulin thought about how Liu Xue Ning acted in front of other men, he couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to force his way in. However, he was stopped by the servant from yesterday who was waiting at the door, who prevented him from disturbing his young marshal.
Jiang Yulin touched his beaten face and still felt some pain.
My mother happened to come from somewhere else and saw this situation. She also felt a headache, so she thought of asking Jiang Yulin to come again tomorrow. This led to the scene that Fu Yunxi had just seen.
No matter when, everyone will definitely bully the weaker force.
Gu Nancheng's family is an official, so he is like a great official to my mother. If she offends him, she will not be able to do business anymore.
"Mr. Jiang, I see you're not feeling well today. You should go back and rest for a while." Mom said with a smile on her face again, obviously trying to chase someone away at the door.
As a scholar, Jiang Yulin always cared about his reputation, so he left.
Liu Xuening, who was in the house, had heard the noise outside a long time ago, but did not stop it at all.
Gu Nancheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "This Mr. Jiang seems to be an acquaintance of yours. Don't you blame me for being so arrogant?"
"As long as someone comes to Xue Ning's room, they are Xue Ning's guests, not just acquaintances." Liu Xue Ning said calmly, without a trace of affection in her eyes. "Now only Master Gu is in my room, so people outside are irrelevant."
"Miss Xue Ning is indeed a clear-sighted person." Gu Nancheng had an even stronger desire to conquer her. After all, he initially thought that all the girls in the brothel wanted to cling to rich men, but the woman in front of him seemed different from the others.
Not only is he proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but when he talks about political matters, Liu Xuening can also express his own opinions.
All these made Gu Nancheng have a different impression of Liu Xuening. The two had only known each other for a few days, but Gu Nancheng already regarded Liu Xuening as his confidante.
And when I heard her talk about her own experience, I realized that she was clearly stuck in the mud, but she remained untainted.
It is so difficult to maintain one's chastity in a brothel.
Gu Nancheng felt that although Liu Xuening's family would not agree to marry her as a wife, she could still be a concubine.
The two of them were in love with each other. Liu Xuening continued to play the piano, and from time to time she looked at Gu Nancheng, then showed a shy smile, which almost made Gu Nancheng lose his soul.

Jiang Yulin was still in a very low mood when he returned to the mansion, and sat on the couch in the room early.
Seeing Fu Yunxi come in, he finally couldn't help it. After all, he couldn't find anyone else to talk to. But Fu Yunxi had already signed a divorce agreement with him, and he had also told her that he had someone he liked, so it shouldn't matter to her.
"You are also a woman, you should understand women's minds better." Jiang Yulin asked, although he also felt it was a bit strange. After all, the other party was still his nominal wife, but he had to ask her how to win over other women.
But there was no sign of disappointment on Fu Yunxi's face, as if he had known he would ask this question.
"Just ask whatever you want to ask." Fu Yunxi also sat down and waited for the man to speak.
Jiang Yulin then expressed all the complicated emotions in his heart, and mentioned with some resentment, "That young marshal also likes Xue Ning. Because of him, I haven't even seen Xue Ning."
Young Marshal? Fu Yunxi recalled the plot in her mind and knew that it was one of the two men Liu Xuening later dated.
Seeing the man in front of me with a lost look on his face again, I just want to say that this is the difference between a bootlicker and a spare tire.
At least he can develop a relationship with the heroine, but Jiang Yulin is just a spare tire, so pure that he doesn't have any further relationship with Liu Xuening in the end.
In that case, I'll give him a push and hope he won't thank me too much!
Fu Yunxi narrowed her eyes and said calmly, "Since you like her so much, you should work hard to win her over. How can you back down just because another man appears?"
At this time, Jiang Yulin also felt that he had encountered a strong enemy, not to mention that he was encouraged by Fu Yunxi, so his fighting spirit naturally increased.
