The once noisy private room had become completely quiet, and the slightly drunken minds instantly sobered up. They stood there one by one, looking extremely well-behaved.
There's nothing I can do!
Once upon a time, one of them got drunk outside, acted out, and got into a fight with his companions. He not only injured people but also almost smashed up the restaurant. As luck would have it, he ran into Jiang Xuelin, who was out buying snacks for Lady Jing'an. In the end, Jiang Xuelin, who saw injustice, gave him a good beating.
So, the moment I saw Jiang Xuelin, my mind truly cleared.
I'm completely sober now.
If he doesn't wake up soon, Jiang Xuelin might help him wake up—it's not like this hasn't happened before!
What are you doing?
Jiang Xuelin's gaze shifted from the women to the group of playboys.
They shouldn't have the guts to bully men and women, right? She knows these people from the capital city; they wouldn't dare do such a thing.
"No, no, we didn't do anything. We just asked the ladies to help us offer drinks and play some music!" As soon as he saw that Jiang Xuelin noticed the women first, one of the playboys quickly waved his hand.
Although Jiang Xuelin had been tricked by Fu Hanlai before and had been too ashamed to go out these days, they didn't dare to look for her; these were all courtesans.
And they really only listened to little tunes and touched little hands; they didn't dare to do anything else.
I dare not do it.
Although the women had never met Jiang Xuelin, they had heard of her reputation. They stepped forward respectfully to prove that what the playboy said was true.
These women are the most perceptive and have the best sense of situations. They know who they can mess with and who they can't. The person in front of them is clearly someone they can't mess with.
Not only are they not to be messed with, but these old men don't dare to mess with them either.
Jiang Xuelin wasn't the kind of person who was detached from worldly affairs. After learning the identities of those women, she didn't say much, but instead went to the seat that had been prepared and sat down.
It was as if she were the host.
"What little tune did you sing? Let me hear it. If you sing well, there will be a reward."
The women's eyes lit up, and they became extremely attentive.
They had all heard that if they encountered the young lady from the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion, they should not be afraid. She was the friendliest woman, and if they served her well, she would give them many rewards. Unlike singing songs for other men, they would not be taken advantage of.
Several spoiled brats: "..."
It was obvious that these women were much more attentive to Jiang Xuelin than they were to him.
grass!
Jiang Xuelin is a woman!
What makes her so special?!
The old man has quite a bit of money!
"You don't need to serve me. Those of you who are supposed to sing, sing; those of you who are supposed to play the piano, play the piano. If there's nothing else planned, you can rest for now."
Women have it tough, and Jiang Xuelin isn't the kind of person who would look down on someone just because of their status; they're all just ordinary people!
When I was a child living on the border, there was no distinction between men and women, nor much difference in status. When foreigners came, everyone had to fight for their lives.
Moreover, most of the singers and dancers who entered brothels had tragic fates and did not fall into depravity voluntarily.
Several women found their seats, and soon the sounds of string and wind instruments filled the private room. The most beautiful woman did not go over, but sat next to Jiang Xuelin and served her food.
Her fair wrists were exposed, dazzling the eyes. Her delicate hands held various dishes and brought them to Jiang Xuelin's lips. Her voice was gentle, and her smile was even more mellow.
The spoiled brats who hadn't received any such treatment just now: "..."
Jiang Xuelin, however, had gotten used to it.
I don’t know when it started, but these women all seem to like her.
The young dandies were filled with resentment, but dared not say anything and had to put on a smiling face. Among them, Fu Han was the most resentful.
He had originally wanted to watch the show with those spoiled brats, but after entering the room and seeing their reactions to Jiang Xuelin, he was almost laughing his head off. However, his mood instantly soured.
Not only do they not serve me, the young master, but they also go and serve that girl Jiang Xuelin. It's clear they have no sense of propriety.
Moreover, what right does this woman have to sit next to Jiang Xuelin? She can't even sit still while serving Jiang Xuelin food; her eyes are practically brimming with tears. Who is she trying to impress with those flirtatious glances?
A mere singer dares to openly seduce Jiang Xuelin!
Jiang Xuelin too, has she forgotten her identity?
"Jiang Xuelin, have you forgotten who you are?"
With obvious displeasure on his face, Fu Hanlai sat down on the other side of Jiang Xuelin and questioned her in a sarcastic tone.
The woman sitting next to Jiang Xuelin paused, thinking that Fu Hanlai was saying that she was not worthy to sit next to the Jiang family's daughter. However, Fu Hanlai completely ignored her and continued to question her.
"Have you forgotten that you're a married woman now? You're really something, flirting with someone else right in front of me!"
Jiang Xuelin, who had just taken a sip of soup, looked up with a bewildered expression. "What? Are you having a relapse?"
"Ha! You have the nerve to say I'm having a fit!" Upon hearing Jiang Xuelin's words, Fu Hanlai became agitated, as if Jiang Xuelin had committed some heinous crime.
"Look at yourself right now, flirting with this seductive woman right in front of me! Do you even respect me? And now you're calling me crazy for this woman? Who does something like this in front of everyone? How shameless!"
The few spoiled brats who had just taken their seats: "..."
Your Highness, what you're saying sounds so strange, like discovering your husband has gone to a brothel and has a mistress.
Jiang Xuelin felt even more confused, convinced that Fu Hanlai was having an episode, or perhaps he was just jealous of her better treatment than him.
The woman beside him, who had fallen silent since Fu Hanlai suddenly became angry, understood.
They were most sensitive to these things, and they immediately understood why the Prince of Ping was angry.
That's jealousy.
He was jealous of how close the woman was to Jiang Xuelin.
Realizing what was going on, the woman didn't hesitate and picked up another piece of fish, feeding it to Jiang Xuelin with a smile, "Miss, please try this fish, it's the restaurant's specialty."
Jiang Xuelin wouldn't refuse the other person's kindness, so she accepted it and tasted it carefully. "The taste is indeed quite good."
Fu Hanlai: "..."
It's going to explode.
"Jiang Xuelin! Look at this woman! You may not care about your reputation, but I do. Although I have no other intentions towards you, it was just a marriage arranged by our elders. But now that we're married and have a formal status, can't you control yourself a little in public?"
"Even if I don't think much of you and have no other intentions towards you, our two families have already made our relationship public. You can't tarnish the reputation of the Prince Ping's Mansion when you're out there."
The woman looked at Fu Hanlai, who was jumping up and down in anger, and couldn't help but exchange glances with the other women on the other side, her eyes showing a rare smile.
—Oh, I, the Crown Prince, have no other intentions towards you?
That jealous face of yours is truly unsightly, Your Highness.
