Chapter 81 Du Ruoling ran to the brothel
Soon, Du Ruoling ran to the foot of an outer wall. She looked up at the not-too-high wall, took a deep breath, and then used her hands and feet to start climbing.
Fortunately, she lived in the countryside when she was a child and did a lot of climbing trees and climbing over walls. Although these were a little unfamiliar to her, they were not too difficult.
After a while, she successfully climbed over the wall and stood steadily on the ground outside the wall.
She clapped her hands to shake off the dust, and a confident look appeared on her face, as if she had already seen her bright future beckoning ahead.
On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight is like water, sprinkling on the streets and alleys.
Every household was decorating with lights and colors to celebrate the reunion, and laughter and joy could be heard from every courtyard from time to time.
There were small stalls here and there, with vendors hawking various Mid-Autumn Festival snacks and gadgets. Du Ruoling walked down the street, her eyes constantly scanning her surroundings.
She looked at the small stalls and secretly evaluated in her heart: These small businesses earn their money through hard work, and it may not be easy to get rich.
As she walked, she was thinking about her way out. If things didn't work out, she could open a restaurant or a dessert shop.
But there was no ready-made cream in ancient times.
She also doesn't know how to bake bread or cakes. If she had known this in modern times, she would have learned to be a chef or a culinary major, so she wouldn't be so clueless now.
Just when she was feeling bored, suddenly, a bustling place in the distance caught her attention.
She looked up and saw a magnificent building, bustling with people and brightly lit. On the plaque was written the three big characters "Hua Jin Lou".
Du Ruoling blinked, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind.
She clapped her hands excitedly. Yes! She could work in the entertainment industry, be an agent in this ancient world, and create stars!
The idea excited her, as if she had found the key to success.
Without hesitation, she walked into Huajin Tower, ready to explore and see what potential this ancient entertainment venue had waiting for her to discover.
As soon as you enter Huajin Tower, you will be overwhelmed by the noise, laughter and music.
The interior of the building is magnificently decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, and red lanterns are hung everywhere, making it look particularly festive.
The guests were either drinking and having fun, or flirting and joking with the women beside them, creating a scene of decadence and extravagance.
Du Ruoling stood at the door, looking around curiously, with excitement flashing in her eyes.
In modern times, she has also been to many entertainment venues and is no stranger to this lively atmosphere.
But this ancient Huajin Tower has a unique charm that makes her more eager to explore.
A plump, gaudy-looking madam came forward, twisting her waist.
She was wearing a colorful silk dress, and although her face was heavily powdered, it still couldn't hide the traces of time.
But his eyes were full of shrewdness and sophistication, and they rolled around, looking Du Ruoling up and down in an instant.
"Hey, this girl looks unfamiliar, but is this her first time in our Huajinlou?" the madam said in a shrill voice.
Du Ruoling nodded slightly and said softly, "Well, I heard that Huajinlou is very lively, so I wanted to come and take a look."
The madam smiled even more broadly when she heard this, and reached out to pull Du Ruoling's arm: "Miss, you have finally come to the right place! We can not only serve men here, but also make women happy."
As he said this, he was about to lead Du Ruoling into the building.
She slowly walked up the stairs to the second floor, observing everything around her, thinking about how she could start from here and build her own entertainment empire...
The carriages of Anyang Marquis' Mansion rumbled and stopped in front of the mansion one after another.
Everyone was very tired after today's performance.
Lin Xingyao, supported by her nanny, slowly stepped out of the carriage. Her steps were a little unsteady; she was already pregnant, and this incident had drained all her energy.
The moment she raised her eyes, her gaze met Chu Ruohan's eyes as deep as a pool.
Lin Xingyao's heart trembled suddenly, and a sense of inexplicable guilt suddenly surged into her heart. She subconsciously lowered her eyes and avoided that gaze.
She felt sorry for her!
If she hadn't reminded Gu Junze in time, Chu Ruohan might have really encountered misfortune. Thinking of this, Lin Xingyao's guilt faded a lot.
She took a deep breath and raised her head, but Chu Ruohan had already pushed Gu Junze away, leaving her with only her back...
Lin Xingyao stood there, looking in the distant direction, slightly distracted, until the nanny gently reminded her, she came back to her senses and slowly walked towards her own yard.
After Gu Cheng'an came back, he went straight to Sui Jinxuan. When he walked out of the courtyard, he hesitated. He didn't know how to coax her.
As soon as I stepped into the yard, a strong and pungent smell of alcohol hit me in the face.
He frowned, feeling an ominous premonition. He looked up and saw the servant who was guarding him lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out. His clothes were disheveled and his face was flushed. He had obviously drunk a lot of wine and was sleeping soundly, unaware of everything around him.
Gu Chengan was furious. He took a few steps forward and kicked the servant, shouting, "You little bastard! How could you be so drunk?"
The servant was awakened by the sudden kick. He opened his eyes in a daze and saw Gu Cheng'an with an angry face. He was so scared that he sobered up a little in an instant and sobered up a lot.
He rolled and crawled to his knees, his voice trembling as he said, "Sir, I know I was wrong. I deserve to die!"
He took a deep breath and turned to walk into the house.
The room was empty, the bedding was neatly folded, with no signs of having been moved. The little things that Du Ruoling loved in the past were also quietly placed in their original places, but there was no sign of their owner.
His heartbeat suddenly quickened, and a bad premonition came over him.
Gu Cheng'an turned and walked quickly into the yard, veins popping out on his forehead as he shouted, "Where's Ling'er?"
The servant was so frightened that he trembled and stammered, "I... I don't know. I drank some wine in the afternoon and then... I fell asleep. When I woke up..."
Gu Cheng'an's face turned ashen, his eyes filled with anger and anxiety.
He grabbed the servant by the collar, lifted him up, and said with gritted teeth, "You damned thing, if anything happens to Ling'er, I will kill you!"
After saying that, he threw the servant to the ground fiercely and said, "Go find him quickly."
The servant crawled to his feet, stumbled out of the courtyard, and called other servants to look for Du Ruoling together.
Gu Cheng'an stood in the yard, his hands clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white, his heart full of regret and self-blame.
He actually let a group of drunkards like this look after Ling'er...
