Chapter 26, The Struggle for the Heir Apparent
Li Yunzhi slapped Leng Dong's hand away. Leng Dong had a habit of pinching his cheeks before he was six years old. Why was he doing it again?
"Haha, it's definitely the master, hahaha, my master has just come of age, and his first stop is a brothel, hahaha..." Leng Dong laughed.
Li Yunzhi rolled his eyes at him. He couldn't say that Jiang Ruanruan wanted to go to the brothel, so he just said that he wanted to see it for himself.
Ask him to arrange a quiet private room.
Good grief, does this person think he dressed up like a man just to visit brothels?
"Young Master Chen, you've finally arrived! I've missed you so much!" As soon as they reached the door, Tao'er, dressed in a pink dress, fluttered into Chen Zihao's arms like a butterfly, carrying a fragrant breeze.
Chen Zihao stumbled, only managing to catch up with Li Yunzhi from behind.
It was like a child on stilts who almost fell to the ground.
Chen Zihao stared wide-eyed at the husky, his face filled with disbelief.
"Haha, girl, there are quite a lot of people... please have some self-respect!" Chen Zihao said, deliberately imitating his second brother's voice.
"Oh my, look at him, the Second Young Master must have brought a distinguished guest today, he's so formal. Miss Tao'er, let's go inside and catch up!" Madam Liu swayed her still-charming waist and hips as she came out.
Seeing this old acquaintance, she smiled broadly, but was puzzled. Hadn't the Second Young Master come by this afternoon? Why was he here again with others? Could it be that the Second Young Master had gone out in the middle of the day and she hadn't noticed?
Strangely, this Second Young Master Chen always entered the building through the back door, but today he unusually entered through the front door.
The identities of those four young men were unknown. Their clothes were made of ordinary material, but each of them was very handsome. Their pretty faces, snow-white skin, and overall demeanor made them look like noblemen raised in wealthy families.
Perhaps he's dressed so shabbily to avoid revealing his identity.
Thinking this, Mother Liu quickly gave the girls a meaningful look, signaling them to behave themselves.
Young men new to brothels tend to be reserved and elegant, valuing style above all else. If they are too impetuous, they risk scaring the men away.
Chen Zihao appeared calm, but his body resisted by taking a few steps back, preventing the girl named Tao'er from getting close to him.
An unnatural blush rose to her face, and she was so frightened that her heart trembled slightly.
He's still just a child. His second brother is right; he shouldn't have come here.
He suddenly became worried: would Jiang Ruanruan's remaining 900 taels of silver notes be enough? These girls were so enthusiastic, it was like they wanted to devour him.
It's not that brothels are all money pits; such enthusiasm must have cost a fortune.
He would have to remind Ruan Ruan to take it easy later.
Liu's mother welcomed the six people in, including several of Chen Erlang's friends, and waved to them.
Chen Zihao knew most of those guys; he never expected that his second brother's classmates would all come here to play after school.
All I could do was pretend to be calm and nod and nod as a greeting.
Jiang Ruanruan couldn't help but laugh. This Chen Zihao was quite talented, handling things with ease.
The others clearly had never been here before, looking around.
Jiang Huai'an, in particular, had never been to a brothel in his previous life, truly unworthy of his reputation as a playboy.
Compared to Li Yunzhi, the 12th prince was more composed. There were plenty of dancers in the palace, whose attire was even more revealing than these women.
However, the women here are so wobbly and boneless that they can't sit properly on their own and always lean on the men's arms, which makes them seem a bit too weak.
Could it be that he drank too much before it even got dark?
The six people arrived at the private room that Leng Dong had booked in advance.
"Five young masters, do you know any ladies?" Granny Liu found Chen Er increasingly strange.
They're being a bit too serious today, which suggests that the identities of the other four are quite extraordinary.
"Since there aren't any I know, Madam Liu, why don't you call in a few more? We need girls who dance well, have sweet smiles, and are lively. Call in several, and I'll have to choose!"
Jiang Ruanruan spoke first. This was her first time visiting a brothel, and she was quite excited.
Her makeup and styling are perfect today; she's sure to captivate countless young women.
"Alright!" Granny Liu happily went out to call for help.
"Ruan Ruan, if you call so many girls, it will cost a lot of money. I'm afraid 900 taels won't be enough!" Chen Erlang pleaded with Jiang Ruan Ruan as he watched Liu Mama and the others leave.
If he doesn't have enough money, and someone drags him to his father's door, he'll be finished.
He was starting to regret dressing up as his second brother. If it were one of the other cunning guys, even his own parents probably wouldn't recognize him now.
"Brother Pear, do we still need Ruanruan to pay for shopping?" Jiang Ruanruan winked at Li Yunzhi.
Li Yunzhi reached out his hand to Leng Dong.
Leng Dong honestly took out a thick stack of silver notes, all of which were his master's pocket money that he hadn't used for years. He had been carrying them around for a long time, and now he was finally going to use them.
Why am I actually feeling a little excited?
"Here, it's all yours. Spend it however you want!" Li Yunzhi took it all and stuffed it into Jiang Ruanruan's hands.
A gentle, indulgent smile curved her lips.
"Wow, Brother Pear, you're so kind!" Jiang Ruanruan exclaimed without any hesitation, her life was finally getting better.
He gave Li Yunzhi a big kiss on the cheek.
The onlookers were shocked.
Liu's mother, who happened to walk in, and a group of young girls stared in disbelief.
It turns out these two boys were actually a couple. What a pity.
"What kind of behavior is this!" Jiang Huai'an was furious. He called him "brother" so sweetly, even sweeter than calling him. Did a brother who didn't have money not deserve it?
He glared at Li Yunzhi, thinking, "That damned human trafficker, always trying to steal my sister from me."
Li Yunzhi lowered his head and chuckled.
In the cold winter, suddenly both hands were empty... I looked up, my face filled with utter despair.
A chorus of lamentations filled his heart. Was this really the case? They had only just entered the building and hadn't even started choosing a girl yet, and his purse was already empty.
It was just a kiss, and it was Jiang Ruanruan dressed as a man's kiss. What are you laughing at, Master?
Jiang Ruanruan counted. It was a full 20,000 taels of silver. What a big spender! A kiss was nothing to him; she could kiss him to death.
The 12th prince, Chen Zihao... were both dumbfounded.
What happened...?
Chen Zihao... gave her money and she gave him a kiss, why didn't he? Was it because he didn't have enough money?
I was rejected.
"You're the one! Fair skin, beautiful face, and long legs!" Jiang Ruanruan finished counting the money and looked at the 10 girls who had been chosen.
"My name is Tao'er, and I've come specifically to see the Second Young Master!" Tao'er said, giving Chen Zihao a flirtatious wink.
Chen Zihao was so frightened that he shuddered. "My brother's old flame, what's her name? Sister-in-law?"
If my second brother finds out... I don't even want to think about it.
Should he consider rebelling and seizing the throne? It's always a case of the East Wind prevailing over the West Wind, or the West Wind defeating the East Wind. The struggle for the title of Marquis's heir is usually this cruel. But his elder brother is somewhat innocent. What did his elder brother do wrong? His elder brother has been quite good to him.
No, he had to keep this disguise a secret today. At this moment, he was Chen Erlang, frantically brainwashing himself.
"And you, with your radiant smile, graceful figure, and slender waist that could be encircled with one hand, are simply wonderful!"
This comment has the flavor of a spoiled, playboy playboy.
