Chapter 1717 Taihe Academy
Although common people are very ashamed when talking about prostitutes in brothels, Su Yan doesn't have any special opinion about them.
The status of women is already low, and now it is a turbulent time, so it is not easy to survive.
Moreover, most of these women were sold or abandoned by their families, and had no other options, so they came to Fuxianglou to make a living.
Su Yan's tone was very polite, "Sister, we have something important to discuss with Miss Yanzhi. It was... a young master who asked us to come here, but he really can't leave right now."
The woman wondered, "Mr. Li? Didn't he say he couldn't come over for the next few days?"
"That's why you asked us to convey the message, sister. Can you let us meet Yanzhi? If we can't help Master Li convey the message, he won't pay a penny. Sister, you are so beautiful, you will definitely not bear to see me hungry." Su Yan's eyes are bright, his smile is charming, and his face is sincere, which will make anyone who sees him happy.
The woman pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Okay, just come out quickly. If you delay until sunset and get entangled by those stinky men, I won't be able to save you."
Qin Wanyue put her hands on her waist, looked at Su Yan fiercely, and whispered, "Flatterer!"
Her title as the county magistrate's daughter doesn't work, so how can it work just by flattering her? !
After hearing Qin Wanyue's scolding, Su Yan was not angry. Instead, he took her arm affectionately and said, "Xiao Qin, I know you also hope that Mr. Li and Sister Yanzhi can live in harmony. Let's not worry about these things and go in quickly."
Qin Wanyue: "Xiao Qin?"
She is Xiao Qin? !
Qin Wanyue was dragged into Fuxiang Tower by Su Yan in a daze.
Today's Fuxiang Tower cannot compare to its heyday, but it still has carved beams and painted buildings.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a spacious lobby. Directly in front of you is a stage with a tulle curtain hanging in front of the stage and candles all around. Although it is quiet at the moment, Su Yan can already imagine the beautiful women's graceful dancing and the men spending a lot of money off the stage.
Although Qin Wanyue was used to luxury, she had never seen extravagance, and she would exclaim in amazement every step she took.
Su Yan, who was also new to this, turned a blind eye to all this and followed the route the woman had just pointed out, dragging Qin Wanyue all the way to Yanzhi's room on the second floor.
Qin Wanyue's face flushed, unable to hide her excitement, "No wonder men are so reluctant to leave this place, it really is a great place."
Su Yan was speechless for a moment.
She adjusted her demeanor and knocked on Yanzhi's door. A woman in a pink tulle dress opened the door.
Yanzhi was born with a charming and beautiful appearance. She treated Su Yan kindly, "Who are you two?"
When her eyes moved to Qin Wanyue, her eyes became unfriendly again, and her tone became much colder, "Why would a woman come to look for me?"
Qin Wanyue: “…”
Is her face so hated?
Qin Wanyue deliberately put her hands behind her back, held her head high and puffed out her chest, acting like a young lady, "Your lover, Master Li..."
Before she finished speaking, she was pulled by Su Yan, who looked at her with a smile, "Ms. Qin, we are here for Mr. Yu."
Although she couldn't show it on her face, Qin Wanyue still heard Su Yan sighing deeply - "We've already met Miss Yanzhi in person. If we mention Master Li again, won't we be exposed? When Miss Qin gets married in the future, she'll probably be bullied."
Qin Wanyue bit her lower lip tightly and swore secretly in her heart - after the case is over, she must kick Su Yan out of the yamen!
Yanzhi seemed to have a good impression of Yu Tiancai. She still smiled when she heard his name and stepped aside to make way for Su Yan and the others. "Mr. Yu hasn't been here for a while. I heard that something happened in the academy. He never likes to reveal his identity. You know that he is good friends with me, so he must be someone he trusts."
"It's because Sister Yanzhi has a unique scent that I know about it," Su Yan took the opportunity to praise Yanzhi and then turned to the main topic, "Sister, the incident at the academy has caused a big stir. You should have heard about it. On the day the victim was killed, Mr. Yu couldn't explain where he was going. Now he is regarded as a suspect. I heard that Mr. Yu was with sister, so I came to verify it. I want to clear Mr. Yu's name."
Qin Wanyue: “…”
Didn't she also think that Yu Tiancai was a suspect? Why did she seem to be worried about him again?
Yanzhi walked to the rose chair and sat down, her slender arm gently supporting her chin, with a faint smile on her face, "I want to testify for him, but I'm afraid he won't be happy about it. Mr. Yu treats me well, but he cares most about his reputation, and he always comes in disguise. If I hadn't sent my younger brother to the academy, he wouldn't have recognized him. Is he really happy for me to testify?"
"Mr. Yu cares about his reputation, but if he cannot clear himself of suspicion, he may end up in jail." Su Yan asked, "Did Mr. Yu really come to Fuxiang Tower on the day Mr. Yin was murdered?"
Yanzhi raised her eyebrows slightly, "He often comes to Fuxiang Tower, most of the time he comes to see me, and he did come that day."
Qin Wanyue pursed her lips and frowned, finding it difficult to maintain her composure.
They walked for a long time and came to Fuxiang Tower just to verify whether Yu Tiancai had witnesses?
Wouldn’t it be better to send a few yamen runners?
Su Yan was still asking step by step, "When did Mr. Yu leave that day?"
"It was already very late when we left. It was past midnight."
"It seems that Mr. Yu is indeed not the murderer."
Yanzhi nodded, "Of course."
"There is one more thing," Su Yan asked naturally, "Mr. Yu also said that Master Cheng might also..."
Su Yan deliberately didn't finish her words. She was worried that Yanzhi would have concerns and not tell the truth, so she paid close attention to her gaze.
Yanzhi had no intention of hiding anything, instead she smiled, "Men, in our eyes, are all the same. The claim that they are not interested in women is all fake. If there is really someone who is not interested in women, it is just that he has not met the woman he likes. Moreover, most of the time, the more respected a man is, the more women he can meet."
Qin Wanyue said: "Why are you talking so confusingly? Do you know what we want to ask?"
"It's just the Cheng Hall Master's affair. It's been spread a long time ago. It's not a secret." Yanzhi lazily played with a strand of hair hanging down from her chest. "It's normal for men to have fun when they are young. It's not surprising to have a child."
Su Yan put away his smile and said seriously, "Sister, can you tell me more details?"
"It's not worth going into more details. It basically says that Cheng Wenshan had many women when he was young, and it seems that he also mentioned that he particularly liked..." Yanzhi showed contempt, "especially liked young women."
Su Yan was stunned, and a horrifying idea popped into his mind.
Qin Wanyue didn't quite understand, "What do you mean by a young woman?"
"That's it..." Yanzhi was helpless with a lady like Qin Wanyue, "Of course it means literally, he seems to like younger girls, for example... seven or eight years old?"
