A man and a woman walked by in the hazy night.
Hearing the noise, Chen Siyuan, who had no interest in such things, wanted to leave, but Lu Ziming pulled her to sit down. When she looked over, he actually gestured for her to be quiet.
Chen Siyuan found it strange. Could it be that she met Lü Ziming in this place because he happened to be doing something big nearby?
I glanced at the couple who were gradually coming into view.
The woman was clearly from an art gallery. She couldn't see the man's face, but what caught her attention was his clothes.
This outfit is a new product just launched by Wenjia Cloth Shop.
This garment is worth a fortune; the fact that you'd encounter it in this place suggests that this man is no ordinary person.
At this moment, the people in the distance seemed unaware of the audience and continued on their way.
"Young Master..."
Her voice was soft and sweet, with a long, coquettish ending.
Hearing this noise, Chen Siyuan got goosebumps.
That's so fake.
Are all the women in brothels like this, and do they all treat their customers like this?
snort!
Sure enough, men, what they crave is this kind of excitement and feigned affection.
She had initially felt a little embarrassed and wanted to leave, but seeing the man's flaws, she realized that he hadn't made her feel awkward at all, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about in just watching.
The two men gradually approached, when suddenly the woman exclaimed, "Young master, you're so naughty!" Her tone didn't seem to care much, and she moved closer to the man.
A faint "hmm" came from someone, a sound that was slightly cool and had a somewhat familiar tone.
Chen Siyuan's heart skipped a beat.
Su Wen.
How could it be him?
What's Su Wen doing here?
No, Su Wen came to Huzhou to investigate corrupt officials, so it's perfectly normal for him to be here. But what's with this woman?
Is this also part of his investigation?
Upon realizing this, she immediately denied it.
What connection do corrupt officials have with women in brothels?
While I was thinking this, the couple next to me continued.
The woman leaned against the man, giggling. It was unclear what Su Wen had whispered in her ear, but she turned around with a smile, her jade pendants jingling, her brightly colored skirt swirling as she walked towards the water beside her.
Su Wen did indeed walk over, reaching out to grab the woman's wrist. The woman giggled, "Young Master..."
Su Wen didn't move, but simply held the woman's hand. Because of the angle, Chen Siyuan could clearly see the ill intent on Su Wen's face.
Seemingly in an instant, Su Wen released the woman's hand. The woman had already walked to the riverbank, but suddenly let go and fell directly into the water.
Thump—
Chen Siyuan shook her head. So that's how it is.
She thought Su Wen was in love with a woman, but she never expected him to push her into the water. He was so wicked.
Thinking that the woman was a woman from an art gallery, I also felt that she deserved what she did.
Thinking that Su Wen was an official of the Dali Temple in the capital, and that his ancestors were wealthy, I suddenly felt that, given the Su family's status in Changzhou, what kind of women hadn't they seen? Why would he be interested in a woman from an entertainment venue? Could this woman be related to the corrupt official being investigated?
As she thought about it, a glimmer of hope rose in her heart: could Qiao Yuchen be nearby as well?
She had been in a hurry to leave just now, but now she was trying to calm herself down and keep watching.
The woman shivered in the water for a long time, struggling to slowly approach the shore. She reached out her hand to Su Wen pleadingly, "Young Master... Young Master..."
It wasn't too cold yet, but it was late autumn and the middle of the night. The woman was dressed very lightly, and her outstretched hand was pale and blue from the cold, trembling pitifully like a flower about to be broken.
Su Wen looked at her fingers, slowly tucked his hands into his sleeve, and smiled, "No, your hands are dirty."
Chen Siyuan almost choked on her words.
You were just holding someone's hand, and now you're complaining that their hands are dirty. Is there anyone more shameless than you?
Thinking and looking, it seems that Su Wen is quite different now. Could it be because he was used by Chen Xin?
Or did my own reminder to this person have an effect?
“Young master… I know I was wrong… I will never pester you again…” The woman cried in the water, her face streaked with tears. “I know… I shouldn’t have liked you, young master.”
After soaking in the water, most of the woman's makeup was gone, leaving behind streaks that made her look like a ghost and were quite eerie.
Just then, a familiar voice was heard.
"Brother Su, Brother Su, so you're here! I've been looking for you everywhere." Wenxuan walked over unsteadily, holding a wine pot in one hand. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Wen. "I thought Brother Su had left on his own."
"You're afraid I didn't pay, aren't you!" Su Wen said, striding away.
Wenxuan didn't rush to chase after her. When he saw the woman in the water, he immediately reached out and said, "Miss, the water is cold at night. Don't be greedy for momentary pleasure. You'll catch a cold, and that won't be good." As he spoke, he pulled the woman out of the water.
Chen Siyuan watched as Wenxuan, who had previously only known how to study, actually led a woman away.
Even after walking away for a long time, you can still hear Wenxuan's unique voice, full of concern and care.
After a long while, upon hearing the mocking voice beside her, Chen Siyuan turned her head to look.
"The Wen family is truly remarkable!"
"Aren't you the same?"
Lu Ziming and his maternal grandfather were both from Beicheng, and they had personal grudges against each other, so it was not surprising that they could recognize each other.
Chen Siyuan didn't want to say more about it, and got up to leave.
"Are you just going to leave like this?"
Chen Siyuan took out a silver note from her bosom and threw it at Lü Ziming, saying, "This is for the wine."
Lu Ziming caught it, saw that it was a receipt for one hundred taels of silver, and held it up in his hand, saying, "Miss Chen is so generous."
Chen Siyuan glanced at him and left quickly.
Su Wen and Wen Xuan were clearly up to something big, and Lu Ziming's appearance at this time was no coincidence. She needed to send someone to follow them and see what this guy was up to.
As Lu Ziming watched Chen Siyuan leave, he picked up the wine jar again and drank. Suddenly, a guard stood beside him. As he drank, Lu Ziming said, "She wanted to kill me just now, why did she give up?"
The guard bowed his head. "This subordinate did not know."
Lu Ziming remained seated in the same position, a glint in his eyes. After a long while, he said, "You must have been bewitched by my good looks?"
"Pfft—" The guard next to him couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Lu Ziming looked over and asked, "Is a dead person better looking than me?"
The guard knew he had lost his composure and dared not speak.
Indeed, Qiao Yuchen is dead, but he was more beautiful than any woman; few could compare to him.
He was speechless at the lack of self-awareness on his part.
Lu Ziming found it boring, stood up, and dusted himself off. "Forget it, talking to a blockhead like you is too tiring. As for what someone is thinking, we'll find out next time we meet."
