"I...I?" Peony was at a loss for words after hearing Tian Yu's words. It turned out that there were people who were even worse off than her, but were still trying to live.
"You can go back now. You don't need to entertain any customers tonight. I'll talk to the madam," Tian Yu said, no longer looking at Mudan.
Peony, unsure of what to say, withdrew, and Prince Wu dismissed the others as well. After everyone had left, Tian Yu poured herself a cup of wine, drank it, and looked at Prince Wu opposite her, asking, "If I want to buy the Misty Rain Pavilion next door, what should I do?"
"What do you mean by this? Do you also want to fall into prostitution? There are people who won't allow it."
“I didn’t say I wanted to work in a brothel, I just wanted to open one.”
"Opening a brothel?! You're going to be a madam?! That's even more unacceptable. If Zhao Moyan finds out, he'll kill you."
"Then don't let him know how I'm going to buy it."
"It can be simple or complicated, depending on who you meet."
"To be direct, I want to cooperate with Your Highness. If Your Highness helps me take it over, then Your Highness will receive 30% of the revenue from Misty Rain Pavilion."
Do you think I'm short of that little bit of money?
"We don't lack it, but how much is still uncertain."
"I can help you, and I don't even need the dividends, but you have to work for me."
"Then forget it, I'll think of another way!" Tian Yu didn't want to be outmaneuvered, so she shook her head and said.
"Wait a minute! I haven't finished speaking yet."
"There's no need to say anything more. I don't want to get involved in your power struggle. It's best if there are no deals between us."
"You'd better think this through. In this Wu Kingdom, if you don't have a powerful backer, even if your business is doing very well, it can be swallowed up overnight."
"That person may not necessarily be a prince. I have many other options."
“But I am the best choice. I only ask that place serve as a base for me to gather information. What do you think?”
"Outposts? I don't want to worry about those things."
"Don't worry about that. I will send someone over. You just need to do your business. Just let me place a few people in your place."
"I'll think about it! I'll think about it!"
"I'm practically giving this to you for free. You'd better think it through. There are so many people waiting for this opportunity."
"Are you sure you don't want the money?"
"No, but if you insist on giving it to me, I would be happy to accept it."
"Okay, but it's agreed that you can only gather information, not participate in anything else."
"certainly!"
"You can send people in only after my business has stabilized."
"for how long?"
"It will take at least six months."
"No, not before I leave."
"How long was that?"
"About three months."
"There's too little time, we won't make it."
"Then you'd better hurry."
"One more month."
"No, there are only three months left."
"Okay, but you have to buy it for me tomorrow, and you'll pay for it."
"Okay, you really know how to do business. Should I take a cut?"
"It's too late, and besides, Your Highness doesn't lack this little bit of money."
Why do this?
"Since we can't change it, let's accept it!" Tian Yu gave a bitter smile. She originally wanted to help these girls, but it seems she made a mistake. She had already searched the Misty Rain Pavilion, but there were also brothels and red pavilions. How could she possibly search them all?
