Chapter 187 Jiang Fenghua's Worries?
It's snowing! The heavy snow has dressed the bustling city of Shengjing in a silver coat, creating a uniquely beautiful scene.
No matter how fierce the battles on the border were, it did not affect the prosperity and bustle of Shengjing City.
Jiang Fenghua, dressed in a magnificent cloak, stood by the window gazing into the distance. Her thoughts drifted far away, her eyes deep and cold like a deep pool, gleaming with a chilling light.
I didn't expect to get rid of Ji Chen so quickly. In my previous life, Ji Chen was a great help to Su Tingwan. One of them was in the palace and the other was outside the palace. They worked together from the inside and outside. Now, getting rid of him can be considered as getting rid of a great enemy.
"You're going back to the palace again, aren't you? I'm going to be away from you for several months again. I really hope I can be by your side when you give birth. People say that childbirth is a life-or-death ordeal for women, with one foot in the grave." Lin Yu stood beside her, following her gaze to the distant smoke rising from the chimneys. In this kind of weather, no one wanted to go out, and it was a rare moment of leisure.
Jiang Fenghua, however, seemed preoccupied.
"They're still a long way off, they won't be born until next year. Xie Shang will be back by then, and I should go back to the Prince's Mansion," she said softly.
Lin Yu silently stayed with her, and Jiang Fenghua said again, "Because of Ji Chen's death, Su Tingwan did not leave Shengjing, which is somewhat unexpected."
“They were sworn siblings. It’s perfectly normal for Su Tingwan to go and collect his body when she knows he’s dead.” She added, “He’s already dead, what are you worried about? Are you worried he’s not quite dead? The guillotine’s crack is no joke. Don’t think about anything now. We should have a drink to celebrate.”
Jiang Fenghua withdrew her gaze, a faint smile finally appearing on her lips as she gently stroked her stomach. "Can I drink alcohol like this?"
Because she was a reborn person, she was afraid that Ji Chen would also be reborn. She didn't know why, but she always felt that she should take precautions. After all this, Ji Chen probably wouldn't be reborn, right?
"You drink water, I'll drink alcohol, okay? Let's call everyone together and have a good celebration."
Jiang Fenghua said calmly, "No need, you guys celebrate, I'm going back to the palace." Su Tingwan was left alone in Shengjing, and she couldn't cause any trouble for the time being.
Once Jiang Fenghua left, Lin Yu lost all interest in celebrating.
As night fell, Lin Yu went to Yichun Tower again, dressed in heavy makeup, exuding charm and extraordinary beauty.
A customer in the building was deliberately causing trouble, saying he was not satisfied with the beauty and demanding to see the madam of Yichun Tower. Lin Yu went to the customer's room in a menacing manner, only to find two burly men with full beards forcing a girl to drink. The wine was not completely poured into her mouth, but spilled all over her face, making her look extremely disheveled.
The girl didn't want to drink, but was forced to. Seeing this, Lin Yu stepped forward and said, "How come you two gentlemen don't know how to be gentle with a lady?"
When the burly man saw a beautiful woman arrive, he shoved her aside and said, "I paid money to have fun, but they gave us this kind of girl. If they had brought a pretty girl like this sooner, they wouldn't have spoiled my mood."
Lin Yu gave the girl a wink, signaling her to leave, while she poured herself a glass of wine and placed it on the table in front of her. "I don't just drink with anyone. If you want to drink with me, let's see what price you're willing to pay."
The burly man pulled a packet of silver from his pocket and placed it on the table. "One hundred taels, is that enough?"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "One hundred taels a cup, I'll keep you company to the end."
Before the burly man could react, Lin Yu said in a deep voice, "Bring the wine. Let's see how many hundred taels you can come up with tonight, and I'll drink that many wines with you. How about it?"
The burly man's pupils contracted; they couldn't afford such wine, and instantly, the two of them deflated.
Lin Yu stood up and said coldly, "I think you two aren't here to drink and have fun, but rather to cause trouble for my Yichun Pavilion."
“Who said we didn’t come here to drink?” One of the men stood up, pointed at Lin Yu’s nose and cursed, “What kind of lousy restaurant is this? A cup of wine costs a hundred taels of silver, why don’t you just rob us?”
As he spoke, he was about to start smashing things, overturning the food, drinks, and glasses on the table.
Lin Yu couldn't stand it any longer. Before she could make a move, a majestic man suddenly rushed in from outside and stood in front of her. "This young master has arrived. Which bastard dares to cause trouble at Yichun Pavilion?"
"Miss Lin, don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to cause trouble here," Guo Xiao said with a fawning expression.
Lin Yu stepped aside and watched the scene quietly. Guo Xiao began to brandish his claws at the two burly men, punching and swinging his right arm until they were knocked to the ground, teeth flying. "Do you know who's protecting Yichun Pavilion? You still dare to cause trouble here."
"It's you, young master! Please spare our lives! We'll never dare to do it again! You are brave and mighty, with extraordinary bearing and handsome appearance..." The two knelt on the ground.
Guo Xiao kicked the two men and said sternly, "Get out." He winked at them, and they took out a bag of silver from their purses and placed it on the table. "We'll get out now. This silver is to compensate us for the things we broke. We're sorry."
Only after the two left did Guo Xiao run up to Lin Yu with the silver to claim credit, "Miss Lin, don't worry, we've paid for everything they broke."
Lin Yu took the money bag from her hand. "Yes, daring to cause trouble at Yichun Tower, they probably don't want to live anymore. Two brutes spending so much silver to visit a brothel, they're really willing to spend it! This silver must be stolen!"
“Isn’t that right?” Guo Xiao agreed, then added, “How could such an elegant place as Yichun Pavilion be a brothel? Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Yichun Pavilion from now on, and I will definitely not bother you. I… I’m leaving.”
After he finished speaking, he started to walk out. He followed Lin Yu the whole time, knowing that she was already annoyed with him.
Lin Yu had someone come in and tidy up, and then had wine and dishes brought again before saying, "Thank you for helping Young Master Guo drive away those two brutes. These two bags of silver should be enough for Young Master Guo's wine money."
Guo Xiao exclaimed with delight, "Ah!"
“Young Master Guo helped me drive away those brutes, and they left some money as compensation. Even if we offset each other, it won’t cost that much silver. Consider the remaining money as payment for Young Master Guo’s drinks. Would Young Master Guo like to treat me to a drink?” Lin Yu said.
Guo Xiao was overjoyed, but asked cautiously, "Of course I'm willing, thousands upon thousands of times willing."
Lin Yu was amused by him.
Lin Yu poured herself a glass of wine, placed it on the table, and then poured herself another glass, taking a sip by herself. She looked serene and content, her cheeks delicate and her lips fiery red, making her breathtakingly beautiful.
Guo Xiao sat down opposite her and raised his glass. "Please, Miss Lin."
Lin Yu didn't care about him at all, and kept drinking one cup after another. Over the past ten years, she had developed a high alcohol tolerance and would never get drunk no matter how much she drank.
