The madam swallowed her saliva, but still forced herself to cheer up. She glanced at Leng Yu and Luo Lan and asked in confusion:
"My Zuiyue Tower is an honest business place. Even if the emperor wants to come and search for us, he must have a reason! Besides, what if you grown men rush in and scare the girls here?"
Seeing that she intended to resist, Leng Yu blinked slightly and snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Are you trying to disobey my order?"
"I dare not. Oh, by the way, are you looking for the missing young lady from Prince Yu's Mansion? Then you have come to the wrong place. This is a brothel, a place for men to enjoy themselves. How can a young lady of such noble status come here? Besides, even if she came, I wouldn't dare to keep her."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Zhang Yuan turned the sword in his hand impatiently.
"Who gave you the guts to speak like that? Someone, go upstairs and get everyone down."
Seeing Zhang Yuan getting anxious, the madam exclaimed:
"No, no, the girls are naked, you can't go up there like this. Wait, I'll go call them, I'll go call them."
"Go quickly."
After Zhang Yuan scolded her, the madam glanced at Leng Yu, lifted her skirt, twisted her plump waist, and walked upstairs.
After a while, the girls upstairs came down, yawning and complaining. When they saw Leng Yu standing in the middle of the hall, they immediately raised their heads and rushed towards Leng Yu like crazy, shouting at each other:
"My dear guest, you are so handsome. Please choose me today and I will serve you."
"Please choose me, I'm the top star here..."
"Please click on me, click on me..."
“…”
Ayu and Ahou stepped forward together to stop these women. Zhang Yuan directly scolded them:
"Everyone, stand still. This is Prince Yu, and standing next to him is Princess Yu. Please don't be rude."
When these women heard that the handsome man in front of them was Prince Yu, they looked at him with envy, their minds full of fantasies.
After a while, the madam came down, raised the handkerchief in her hand, and shook it away reluctantly.
"Go ahead and check, but don't touch the girls' things, or I won't tolerate you."
Zhang Yuan then waved to the people behind him, and the guards rushed upstairs.
Leng Yu glanced at these women and asked in a cold voice:
"Who is Miss Xiaohui?"
When he mentioned Xiaohui, the madam's eyes suddenly darkened. She then took two steps forward and replied with her neck stiffened:
"Our Miss Xiaohui only sells her art, not her body. She has been in poor health recently and has been sent to a sanatorium for recuperation."
When the madam said this, her eyes flickered vaguely. Luo Lan blinked alertly and her eyes stopped directly on a woman.
She walked towards the woman, but the woman's expression was very calm, without a trace of panic.
From this we can see that she is not a simple woman, or in other words, she is not an ordinary woman.
She came up to the woman, frowned and asked:
"May I have your name?"
Before the woman could speak, the madam rushed over.
"Her name is Xiaoxin. She's new here and very timid. Don't scare her."
"New here?"
Luo Lan looked at the woman and replied with a cold snort:
"Why do I feel like she doesn't look like a newcomer?"
After saying this, she turned back to look at Zhang Yuan.
"Have you seen this woman?"
Zhang Yuan nodded decisively.
"I've seen him before, in Tianxiang Tower."
After he said this, Luo Lan was certain that this woman was Xiaohui mentioned by Huang Yun.
Obviously, Xiaohui was a little nervous at this time. She pinched the handkerchief in her hand and raised her eyebrows calmly.
"What Tianxiang Tower? I've never even left Zuiyue Tower. When have I ever been to Tianxiang Tower?"
The madam also nodded and explained,
"Yeah, the girls here don't go out casually."
Seeing that she didn't admit it, Zhang Yuan pointed his finger at her and asked:
"The night before yesterday, did you meet a man named Huang Yun in Tianxiang Tower? You were sitting by the window, and I saw it with my own eyes. How could I be wrong?"
Xiaohui was stunned by Jing Zhangyuan's accusation. She didn't expect that she was ordered by Lengxi to meet Huang Yun, but was actually seen by the person in front of her.
Seeing that she could no longer argue, she simply nodded as if she had suddenly understood.
"Oh, now that you mention it, I remember that a man paid a lot of money to ask me out for dinner the day before yesterday. How could I not go for such a good thing? But so what? We're in this business, and it's not too much to accompany a guest to Tianxianglou for a meal!"
Seeing that she finally admitted it, Leng Yu frowned coldly and ordered Ah Hong:
"Capture this woman and bring her back to Prince Yu's Mansion."
Hearing this, Xiao Hui panicked, and the madam also hurried forward to stop her.
"What grounds do you have for arresting people? What grounds do you have for arresting people?"
Xiaohui also raised her voice and asked:
"What right do you have to arrest people in broad daylight? Is there still law in Daning Kingdom?"
Leng Yu looked at her coldly, "The person you met the day before yesterday was once a teacher in Prince Yu's mansion. Last night, she kidnapped the second young lady of Prince Yu's mansion. So, we suspect that you know him and you are also related to this matter."
Xiaohui took a few steps back unwillingly.
"I don't know him. He just asked me to have a meal with him and chatted with him about some daily matters. That's all. You can't arrest me. You can't arrest me."
Ah Hong didn't care how she explained and went straight forward. Xiao Hui wanted to resist, but the madam shook her head at her, so she bit her red lips and surrendered.
After a while, the officers and soldiers who went upstairs to search also withdrew. Obviously, they found nothing.
Leng Yu and Luo Lan, along with everyone else, left Zuiyue Tower.
Arriving on the main street of the capital, Luo Lan took a breath and asked in a low voice:
"What now?"
Leng Yu pondered for a moment, "You go back first and carefully interrogate Xiao Hui. I will lead the brothers to continue the search."
"good."
After Luo Lan agreed, Leng Yu instructed A Yu and A Hou:
"You two, take the princess back to the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After receiving the order, the two of them followed Luo Lan and headed straight to Prince Yu's Mansion.
As soon as these people left, the madam sent someone to inform Prince Xi.
You know, this Zuiyue Tower is managed by the madam on the surface, but secretly, it is the property of Prince Xi. Now Leng Yu actually comes here openly to take people away. How can Prince Xi not know about this?
The moment Leng Xi heard the news, he jumped up in rage.
He put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the middle of the room.
Yuan Gang saw that he was a little impatient and comforted him softly:
"Your Highness, why are you so angry? It's better to abandon a woman."
Leng Xi stopped, looked back at him, frowned and said angrily:
"Abandoned? If this woman meets Yang Feng at Prince Yu's Mansion and reveals her true colors, then Yang Feng will be exposed. If he betrays me, Leng Yu can openly come to Prince Xi's Mansion to arrest me. By then, everything will be too late. Tell me, how can I not be anxious?"
