When they arrived at Wangchun Tower, they saw the madam soliciting customers at the door. She was initially happy to attract business, but her expression changed immediately when she saw Jiang Yuwei get off the carriage.
The madam was used to mistresses coming to their Wangchun Tower to catch their husbands in adultery. She assumed Jiang Yuwei was also there to catch her husband cheating, so she simply blocked the doorway, sized Jiang Yuwei up and down, and said menacingly:
"I'm sorry, madam, our Wangchun Pavilion does not accept female guests!"
Jiang Yuwei raised an eyebrow and sized up the madam in front of her, then gave instructions to Yun Qing and Yan An standing beside her:
"Go in and bring the young master out!"
After saying that, Jiang Yuwei prepared to turn around and go back to the carriage to wait.
Seeing this, the madam quickly stretched out her arm to block Yun Qing and Yan An's path, tilting her head back to look at the two of them.
"Those who can't afford to spend money are not allowed to enter our Wangchun Pavilion. Whose servants are you? Get out of here!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuwei clenched her fists, turned around, and slapped the madam hard across the face.
"They are servants of Prince Jing's mansion. I didn't quite catch that. Who did you just tell to get lost?"
The madam, having been beaten, initially wanted to order her pimps to beat Jiang Yuwei, but upon hearing Jiang Yuwei say she was from the Jing Prince's residence, her eyes darted around before she looked at her questioningly:
"Don't try to fool me. The eldest son of Prince Jing's mansion is a frequent visitor to our Wangchun Tower. I know all his servants. Who do you think you are, daring to yell at me here?"
Jiang Yuwei snorted coldly, stepped forward, stared intently at the madam, and said:
"Who do you think I am? He is the prince's personal guard, of course you've never seen him. Let me tell you, if you delay my important business, I will burn down your Wangchun Tower."
Yun Qing had been by Jiang Yuwei's side ever since she entered the Jingwang Mansion. He had never seen Jiang Yuwei speak so forcefully to others before, and he figured she must be very worried about the young master.
So Yun Qing didn't hesitate, kicking aside the madam blocking her way and shouting at Yan An, who was still standing there in a daze:
"Yan An, hurry in and find the young master!"
Seeing this, Yan An hurriedly ran inside. The madam, who had been kicked to the ground and was still howling in pain, now disregarded the pain and shouted to the pimps inside:
"Quickly, stop those two people! Don't let them go upstairs!"
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei immediately pulled a dagger from her sleeve and held it to the madam's neck, saying viciously:
"Shut up, or I'll use my strength and you'll die right here!"
Jiang Yuwei had taken this dagger out of her spatial storage before coming here for self-defense. She knew that she would face obstacles if she came to Wangchun Tower with her status, and now it had indeed come in handy.
Seeing that Jiang Yuwei was serious, the madam dared not stop her any longer and hurriedly said to the pimp inside:
"No, don't stop them! Quickly find the person and make them leave!"
Xia Yue, who was standing to the side, had never witnessed anything like this before, let alone seen Jiang Yuwei so angry. At this moment, she was extremely nervous.
Looking around nervously, they feared that someone might suddenly rush up and snatch Jiang Yuwei's dagger, which would surely leave them both in danger.
Yun Qing and Yan An pushed open the doors of each room but couldn't find Ning Zhao. Yan An grew anxious and grabbed a pimp, asking:
"Did you see a group of young men coming to your Wangchun Pavilion for drinks and entertainment just now? About five or six of them, and they weren't very old."
The pimp thought for a moment and nodded:
“I did see such a group of people. I remember that it was Miss Ying’er who entertained them. They are not in this room now. Perhaps they went to the backyard. You two come with me to the backyard and look for them in the young lady’s room.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Qing and Yan An exchanged a glance, then cautiously followed the pimp into the backyard. The pimp led them directly to Ying'er's room, knocked on the door, and...
"Miss Ying'er, are you inside? Where are the distinguished guests you were entertaining today?"
Ying'er leaned against the doorway, glanced sideways at Yun Qing and Yan An standing there, then chuckled, adjusted her clothes, pointed inside, and stepped aside.
Seeing this, Yun Qing rushed in first, only to find Ning Zhao lying on Ying'er's bed, fast asleep and completely drunk.
Seeing Ning Zhao lying on the bed fully dressed, Yun Qing breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Ying'er to ask:
"What about those who came with him?"
Ying'er waved her hand.
"They just dumped him on me and left, specifically instructing me to properly deflower him. What a pity, I haven't even started yet, and you've already arrived. Oh, and don't forget the money!"
Yun Qing took out a silver note from his pocket and tossed it to Ying'er. Ying'er caught the note, glanced at it, gave it a big kiss, and then said with a smile:
"Alright, alright, hurry up and take him away, don't let him occupy my bed!"
Upon hearing this, Yan An hurriedly stepped forward, picked up Ning Zhao, and followed Yun Qing outside.
Jiang Yuwei, who had been holding a knife to the madam's neck, saw Ning Zhao fast asleep on Yan An's back, and her heart immediately settled.
Yun Qing walked up to Jiang Yuwei and whispered:
"Madam, the young master is alright, let's go back."
Jiang Yuwei glanced at the unconscious Ning Zhao again, then nodded to Yun Qing, put away her dagger, and turned to get into the carriage.
The madam behind was already so frightened that her legs went weak. As soon as Jiang Yuwei sheathed her dagger, she collapsed to the ground, pounding her chest and panting heavily. The girls around her rushed forward to help her up.
Seeing that Jiang Yuwei was about to take the person away, the madam shouted at the top of her lungs:
"Hey, you've ruined my business, and you're just going to leave like this? You haven't even compensated me yet!"
Jiang Yuwei said coldly from inside the carriage.
"If you have the guts, go to Prince Jing's residence and demand the money."
After saying that, he instructed Yun Qing:
"Return to the manor!"
Yun Qing ignored the madam who was still slapping her thigh and wailing, and turned the carriage around to head towards Prince Jing's mansion.
Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Zhao, who was completely drunk, from the carriage. She frowned and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, afraid that he would catch a cold from sweating.
After finally returning to the Prince Jing's residence, Jiang Yuwei asked Xia Yue to boil some hot water and arranged for Yan An to wash Ning Zhao's body. After checking that there were no external injuries on his body, she felt relieved and let Yan An help Ning Zhao back to his room to sleep.
Jiang Yuwei had been busy all day, and her body was exhausted. So she went back to her room, took a good bath in the spiritual spring water, and then went to bed.
