"By the way, do you want Grandma to help you get those maids back from your courtyard?" Old Madam Lu asked gently.
She knew her grandson always liked pretty colors and was very picky about the people around him. But this time, her grandson had caused trouble, and Lu Zhizhi punished the women in his courtyard.
Although Madam Lu was somewhat dissatisfied with the maids who hadn't taken good care of her grandson, she still prioritized Jinrong's wishes in everything.
"Whatever Grandmother says, I'm willing." Lu Qingyan didn't care. Anyway, Lu Zhizhi wouldn't kill these people if he took them away, and it wouldn't matter if they came back.
Seeing that her grandson listened to her, Old Madam Lu smiled and said, "Then Grandmother will help you pick out some capable people to serve you properly."
"Then Grandmother, please take your time to choose this one. I want one with a better color," Lu Qingyan asked with a smile.
"And, Grandmother, may I leave the manor now?" Lu Qingyan asked ingratiatingly.
"Why are you confined to your home? I'll talk to your father when we get back," Grandma Meng said with a smile.
"Then Qingyun thanks Grandmother." Lu Qingyan bowed and cupped her hands, her sweet words making the old woman like her immediately.
Madam Lu poked Lu Qingyan's forehead. "I knew it. You can't stay cooped up at home. If you want to go out and play, you'll need money. Just ask your grandmother."
"How could I trouble Grandmother?" Lu Qingyan waved her hand. If she asked the old lady for money now, her father, Lu Zhizhi, would not let her off the hook.
After all, Madam Lu had been traveling a long way. After having a meal, she talked with Lu Qingyan for a while, and soon she felt tired and went to rest.
With Madam Lu's permission, the so-called confinement was naturally lifted. Lu Qingyan called Pingfu over and said with a smile, "Let's go out of the manor."
Lu Qingyan gazed at the magnificent pavilion before her, from which came the sounds of string and wind instruments, as well as the laughter and flirtatious whispers of men and women. A smile curved her lips.
"Young Master, do you... do you want to go in?" Pingfu asked cautiously. The young master had caused trouble here before, and if the master knew he had gone in again, he would definitely not let him off the hook.
Ignoring the alluring woman's invitation at the door, Lu Qingyan casually asked, "Will you give me money to go in and seduce someone?"
Pingfu swallowed hard, his face contorted in a bitter expression. "Young master, where would I get the money?"
A voice suddenly rang out, “Qingyun.” Lu Qingyan and Ping Fu turned their heads in the direction of the voice and saw a young man in a purple robe. He was one of the original owner’s cronies and the second son of the Yunzhou Tongpan, who was determined to be a playboy.
Lin Rongqian walked over and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've seen you. How's your injury? Did your father put you in solitary confinement again?"
"It's alright, everything's fine now," Lu Qingyan said with a nonchalant smile.
Lin Rongqian then saw the brothel sign and smiled knowingly. "Missing Miss Rouge, huh? What, aren't you going in?"
Although the original owner was strictly controlled by Lu Zhizhi and never stayed overnight in brothels, she wasn't unfaithful. She was a big spender and a welcome sucker in brothels.
"I have no money." Lu Qingyan repeated those two words. She raised an eyebrow. "How about you treat me?"
Lin Rongqian was about to agree immediately, but then he thought that if Prefect Lu found out that he had taken his precious son to a brothel, he would surely be punished severely. In that case, even his father, the Vice Prefect, would not have an easy time, since a higher official rank can crush a person.
So he quickly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I wouldn't dare invite you to a brothel. How about we go to a restaurant for a meal instead?"
“Sure.” Since someone was treating, Lu Qingyan readily agreed.
