Chapter 135 I Come to See My Wife
Although Wei Lingze didn't believe that Xiao Qinghe would find a young prostitute to cheat on him, Chunxi had done one thing after another that was beyond his expectations during the half year since she left the Wei family. He couldn't help but take Xingzhou to the place where Wuyou Pavilion was selecting the champion today.
When he arrived, the selection of the top candidates had already begun. Lanterns were lit at intervals along the path by the lake, but they could only barely illuminate the road under his feet and could not illuminate anything else.
Under the night sky, only the pleasure boat in the middle of the lake was brightly lit. There was a high platform at the bow of the boat. Those who participated in tonight's selection for the championship would perform on the stage one by one. At this moment, a man in a red gauze dress was dancing on the platform.
Wei Lingze had excellent eyesight. Even from a distance he could see that the man on the platform had his gauze dress wide open, revealing a large area of his chest. The man was also kneeling on the ground and thrusting his waist forward, which exuded a seductive air.
It's really immoral!
Wei Lingze cursed inwardly, his anger rising at the thought that Chunxi might bring Xiao Qinghe to watch this kind of show. Just then, a lantern lit up near the lake. The string music suddenly stopped, and someone on the pleasure boat shouted, "Someone is offering a hundred taels for this young man to spend a night with. Is there anyone willing to pay more?"
As the words fell, two more lights lit up on the lake.
Wei Lingze then discovered that the pleasure boat was surrounded by many small boats. On these boats were guests who came to choose the winner. As long as they saw one they liked, they could bid for it and spend a night with it.
Some boats even swayed gently, making obscene sounds.
The strings in Wei Lingze's head suddenly snapped. At this moment, he forgot about settling the score with Chunxi and just wanted to find Xiao Qinghe as soon as possible.
He couldn't accept his wife lying under another man!
There were many people coming to join in the fun tonight, and the distance between the boats was not too far. Wei Lingze couldn't wait to find another boat, so he used his lightness skills to step onto the boat and look for people one by one. However, as soon as he jumped up, a black shadow appeared out of nowhere and kicked him back to the shore.
The opponent was a master. Wei Lingze fell heavily to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood.
In the dim light, he saw a tall figure.
The man was dressed in black and wore a mask with a green face and fangs, like a monster living in the dark night.
"Wuyou Pavilion is selecting the champion tonight. All guests who come are honored guests, and no one is allowed to disturb them."
The man under the mask spoke, his voice cold and murderous.
Wei Lingze wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and climbed up, revealing his identity: "I am Wei Lingze, the eldest son of the Wei family. I have no intention of causing trouble. I just want to make sure my wife is here."
"There are only distinguished guests from Wuyou Pavilion here, not your wife."
The masked man declared ruthlessly, without any intention of answering Wei Lingze's questions.
Wei Lingze wanted to attack again, but just as he exerted force, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if his ribs were broken. At the same time, the masked man raised his hand slightly, and seven or eight black shadows appeared by the lake.
These people all have a murderous aura, and if Wei Lingze insists on forcing his way in, they will not be polite.
Wei Lingze didn't expect that even after he revealed his identity, Wuyou Pavilion's attitude was still so tough. In case Xiao Qinghe was really in there, he couldn't make a big fuss, otherwise everyone in Hanjing would know that he was cuckolded tomorrow.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wei Lingze gritted his teeth and retreated, ordering Xingzhou to go back and bring some more people to surround the lake. Anyway, after the selection of the champion was over, everyone on the boat would return to the shore and leave. If he saw Cao Chunxi, he would never let her go!
Wei Lingze had no intention of continuing to force his way in. The masked man used his lightness skills to walk on the water and onto the pleasure boat.
The last round of bidding ended, and the man in red was sold for a high price of two thousand taels. Now on the podium was a young man in white, gently playing the piano.
Lan Shu was sitting in a room on the second floor, admiring the young man's performance. She was a little surprised to see Xiao Yechen appear. "Don't you think this place is dirty and you never come up here? Why are you making an exception today?"
Xiao Yechen didn't answer this question, but only ordered in a cold voice: "Show me the guest list for tonight."
"No," Lan Shu answered without hesitation. Feeling the murderous gaze beneath the mask, he added, "I'm not lying to you. I really don't have any. Wuyou Pavilion has been able to get to where it is today thanks to its good privacy protection for its guests. Why don't you tell me who you're looking for? I'll see if I have any impression of him."
The list was not written on paper, it was all in his mind.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yechen said, "Is the Wei family's eldest young master's wife here tonight?"
"I think they're here. A distinguished guest bought two tickets. I just saw them. They seem to be here just to join in the fun, unlike the others."
As he spoke, Lan Shu snapped his fingers, and soon a servant entered the room. Lan Shu asked with a warm smile, "Have the two guests I asked you to take special care of participated in the auction tonight?"
"Master, since you left, those two haven't turned on their lights and haven't participated in the auction."
Lan Shu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are they satisfied with tonight's performance?"
"this……"
The attendant looked embarrassed, as if he was having trouble speaking. Lan Shu said gently, "Don't be afraid. Just tell the truth."
"The two distinguished guests didn't talk much. Most of the time, it was just one of them who was talking. He said that the first sword slave who came on stage to dance with the sword was just a show-off and her physique was definitely not as good as her husband's. The second poetry slave who came on stage to recite poetry was too thin and probably useless..."
The image of Chunxi's talkative face automatically appeared in Lan Shu's mind, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
It was rare to find such a talkative and picky guest. She also wondered how her so-called perfect husband would react when he knew she was here to watch the Knives Out performance.
Lan Shu seemed to be gloating, but Xiao Yechen was very serious. He gave the order directly: "Wei Lingze has come to look for them, let them leave quickly."
"The final selections haven't ended yet. If they leave now, it would be very noticeable. It would be better to wait until the crowds are bigger and hide more easily." Lan Shu rejected Xiao Yechen's decision and sighed, "Ah, the last one tonight has already been snapped up. What should we do if we're running out of time?"
Although he said he didn't know what to do, Lan Shu's eyes were full of teasing: "How about the host go up and perform? It can be regarded as our way of thanking our guests."
Although the mask had no expression, Lan Shu was sure that the face under the mask was tightly wrinkled, and the eyes seemed to want to kill him.
Lan Shu didn't feel scared, instead she wanted to laugh even more.
After a moment of stalemate, Xiao Yechen jumped onto the platform and danced with his sword murderously.
Lan Shu raised his eyebrows slightly.
It turns out that this boss is not a hard rock. He likes the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wei family.
In order to buy time for the eldest lady of the Wei family, she was even willing to perform in public, which she usually despised the most.
It’s a pity that the eldest young lady of the Wei family is of noble status and is now a married woman. It may be difficult for the boss to fulfill his wish.
Thinking of this, Lan Shu strode out of the room and quietly came to Chunxi and Xiao Qinghe's boat.
In the boat, Chunxi was talking to Xiao Qinghe in surprise: "Didn't we just say it was over? Why is there another one? This one is wearing a mask so I can't see his face clearly, but he looks very skilled."
Chunxi had been picking thorns all night and rarely praised him. Xiao Qinghe couldn't help but glance at the pleasure boat.
Just one glance and she was stunned.
She must have seen that figure wearing a mask and dressed in black dancing with a sword somewhere!
