Young Master of the Sun family was approaching from up ahead. Upon seeing Ji Xinhe suddenly turning around, he immediately took notice. Normally, he might have let it pass but at this moment, he was in a terrible mood and was looking for someone to vent his anger.
He pointed straight towards Ji Xinhe’s retreating figure and shouted loudly, "Who are you?!"
Xin He calmly turned around to give him a glance; as if glancing at an utterly irrelevant person, and then carried on her way.
The last time she had offended him, she was dressed as a man. Now, she was dressed as a woman and even wore a veil. Such a fool as Sun Yaowen could, of course, not recognize her.
Just this glance caused the bewitching beauty of Xin He to stun Young Master Sun. Even though she only revealed half of her face, the stunning beauty of it was enough. Her pair of sparkling eyes could she really be ordinary?
How could such a lascivious man as Sun Yaowen let her go?
He immediately attempted to follow her, "Miss..."
Xiaoyu, with a stern face, blocked his path: "Young master, please behave. Our madam doesn’t usually talk much to outsiders."
Upon hearing the term "madam," Sun Yaowen’s face changed drastically. He looked at the retreating figure of Ji Xinhe, leaving without any hesitation. He regretted it but still cursed out, "Damn, finally saw a pretty one and she’s already married."
In fact, if Xin He had a plain appearance, whether she is married or not wouldn’t bother him. However, seeing how grandly she carried herself, it was clear that she came from a wealthy family. Moreover, she had two little maids with her. Surely she is not one to be messed with easily. Only then Sun Yaowen suppressed the thought.
Xiaoyu followed closely behind Xin He, feeling disgust within.
Sun Yaowen couldn’t help but take a few more glances at that woman’s retreating figure. He sighed, "Such a fine item, I’ve never seen before. An city is indeed full of beauties."
The attendant next to him laughingly said, "Isn’t that so? The girls from the full flower building, we never felt they were this beautiful before."
Upon hearing the mention of the full flower building, Sun Yaowen became frustrated. That time during the Oiran competition, he was tied up by that white-faced guy outside the city, forced to endure the wind throughout the night! Thinking about this put Sun Yaowen in a foul mood. He gave a harsh glare to the attendant.
The attendant quickly realized he had said something wrong. He attempted to laugh off the situation, saying, "Young master, with your luck and charm, getting any woman should be effortless, right?"
Soon, his voice became lower, "That ... the ninth concubine, she is still waiting."
Sun Yaowen’s face changed for the better a little bit. He let out a cold grunt, lifted his foot, and headed for the private room.
At that moment, Xin He had already descended the stairs. Shulan, walking next to her, complained, "That Sun Young Master is truly a nuisance, Even after Madam left, he kept staring at Madam. His gaze..."
Xin He glanced at her, "Why bother arguing with such people?"
She was running short on time and had no energy left to deal with such mess?
Seeing Xin He’s reaction, Shulan quietly closed her mouth and didn’t say anything more.
Shopkeeper Wu escorted her to the door, then stopped. Xin He, along with Xiaoyu and Shulan, were about to get onto the horse carriage.
However, just as she lifted the curtain of the carriage intending to get in, she looked up and saw a familiar carriage.
Xin He frowned slightly, feeling that this carriage seemed familiar. Could it be...
Ji Xiulan’s carriage?
Xin He’s eyes twinkled; she couldn’t help but slightly open her eyes wider.
She had seen Ji Xiulan’s carriage before, and it was this exact same one. At that time, she had only glanced at it, never expecting to have made such an impression.
Xin He turned her head to look at Gui Lin Residence, suddenly feeling that something was amiss.
Xiaoyu noticed Xin He’s hesitation and asked, "What’s wrong, Madam?"
Xin He let down the carriage curtain, stepped down from the carriage and said, "Ji Xiulan has also come to Gui Lin Residence."
Xiaoyu, unable to grasp the situation, tilted her head in thought, "So what if she came? Anyway, she didn’t meet Madam."
Xin He, however, frowned and said, "How can it be such a coincidence? Sun Yaowen is here, and she happens to be here too. And I recall that when I came here the last time and met Ji Xiulan, Sun Yaowen was also here."
Ji Xinhe often comes to Gui Lin Residence, that’s because she is the owner, naturally she will have more business to attend to here. However, how come it was always Sun Yaowen and Ji Xiulan who came out of the blue? Always at the same time?
If these two had nothing to do with each other, she wouldn’t be as suspicious. But the thing is, Ji Xiulan is the ninth concubine of the Sun family, and Sun Yaowen is the Young Master of the Sun family. The two of them always appear here at the same time, isn’t that strange?
After experiencing so much, Xin He has always been more alert than most people. At this moment, she felt something was wrong.
Xiaoyu’s expression subtly changed, she lowered her voice and asked, "So... Madame’s meaning is...?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"I’ll go in and have a look. You two wait outside." Xin He couldn’t guess, so it’s better to go and see directly.
"Yes." Xiaoyu respectfully agreed.
She knew about Ji Xinhe’s martial arts skills; if she wants to, it would be difficult for others to find her. However, if she and Shulan were to follow her in, they might startle the enemy.
After entering Gui Lin Residence, she saw that Shopkeeper Wu was at the counter. The moment he saw her, he was slightly taken aback. He promptly walked over and asked, "What happened? Did you forget to mention something earlier?"
Xin He whispered, "Which private room did Sun Yaowen enter just now?"
Shopkeeper Wu realised who Xin He was asking about - it was that Young Master Sun who had blocked Xin He’s path earlier. Without asking further, he answered in bewilderment, "Jingzi Room."
Xin He nodded her head and ascended upstairs.
Her footsteps were purposefully light, almost inaudible to bystanders. She followed along a corridor, and within no time, she arrived at the Jingzi Room. After making sure no one was around, she stopped and began to listen from outside.
"You actually remembered to come find me? I heard you have been lingering at the Full Flower Building recently, wishing you didn’t have to return home. Those seductive enchantresses must be beguiling you aren’t they?!"
Xin He’s eyebrows slightly raised on recognizing Ji Xiulan’s voice. As expected, these two had arranged to meet here, but why did Ji Xiulan’s voice carry a hint of coquetry?
Xin He had a thought, could it be that she had walked into something big today?
Sun Yaowen pulled Ji Xiulan into his embrace, and with one hand mischievously all over her, he coaxed, "Who said that? I didn’t even go on the day of the Oiran competition. Those seductive enchantresses at the Full Flower Building, I went to take a look afterwards. Found them all to be unlikeable, none of them could even compare to you!"
He missed the Oiran competition not because he didn’t go, but because he was thrown out to the outskirts of the city by Ji Xinhe’s people, forced to endure a night of wind. Furthermore, he didn’t turn up his nose at those girls at the Full Flower building - he fancied them but couldn’t afford to pay for their company:
The prices for the girls at the Full Flower Building increased significantly, with each one costing several hundred silver taels, and sometimes even up to one thousand silver taels for a night.
