Shen Zhiyi lowered her eyes and brows in a mournful manner.
So much gold, and she just missed out on it.
"Alright then..." she said regretfully, "I'll wear it."
but……
Shen Zhiyi's eyes darted around.
Since he wouldn't let her sell the mermaid silk, she had no choice but to find a way to make more mermaid pearls!
She stared at the fabric covering Qingyuan's chest.
His eyes were shining.
His eyes were brimming with a thirst for money.
Qingyuan felt hot all over under her gaze.
His Adam's apple bobbed.
I instinctively took a step back.
"I have something to do, I'll be going now," he said abruptly.
Without waiting for Shen Zhiyi's reply, he finished speaking and hurriedly left.
"Huh?!" Shen Zhiyi looked at his hurried back as if a ghost was chasing him, and sighed speechlessly.
Why is this person avoiding her?
Could it be that he saw through her intentions and didn't want to give her the mermaid pearl?
Shen Zhiyi had a headache.
Forget it, let's sell the luminous pearl first and get the first payment.
She found several well-known wealthy merchants from Jiangnan and held an "auction" to sell the small luminous pearl for five thousand taels of silver.
She went to the shopkeeper again and had the silk made into an undergarment. After putting it on, she left the shop satisfied.
As she passed by Chunfeng Tower, she heard the madam calling out from outside:
"Young master~ come quickly~"
"We guarantee you the ultimate pleasure during your one night at Chunfeng Pavilion!"
Her eyes lit up.
yes.
When it comes to understanding men, who understands them better than these girls from the Spring Breeze Pavilion?
She needs to learn from them.
These days, Qingyuan has been avoiding her.
Not only would she not be allowed to touch him, she could hardly even see his face a few times.
Even when I saw him, he was completely covered up.
She seemed afraid of running into him.
Even stranger is...
Ever since he started avoiding her, she has also become very strange.
Every morning when I wake up, not only do my joints ache, but my skin also often feels sticky.
She needs to think of a way to make things more normal between them.
Otherwise, how would we obtain the mermaid pearl?
Shen Zhiyi spent some money to find a private room and had the madam answer her questions.
Why did he cry after I touched that spot?
Shen Zhiyi described Xia Qingyuan's expression at that time.
Is it because you're feeling unwell?
"But he is not afraid of pain."
The madam covered her mouth and giggled, "Oh dear, girl, this is a man's sensitive spot. You hit him so hard, of course he would react."
"Sensitive areas?" Shen Zhiyi asked, puzzled.
“Yes,” the madam chuckled, “besides places like this, there are also…”
She leaned in and explained to Shen Zhiyi in detail.
"There are so many?" Shen Zhiyi was shocked.
The madam nodded.
"However, everyone is different, and the girl has to try it herself, but overall, they are all pretty much the same."
Shen Zhiyi became distressed.
"But now he won't let me get close, and even when I do see him, he's all bundled up."
"I just can't bring myself to do it..."
"Isn't that simple?" The madam blinked. "Miss, you can brew some blood-nourishing soup for him to drink. With a celestial beauty like yourself standing there, he'll be sure to behave himself and take off his clothes."
Shen Zhiyi: "Will this work?"
The madam took out several prescriptions, saying, "Whether they work or not, you'll know once you try them, young lady."
"but……"
She rubbed her fingers together.
Shen Zhiyi paid some more money.
The madam smiled and stuffed the prescription into Shen Zhiyi's arms, saying, "Keep it safe, young lady."
"If you have any questions, just come back and ask me."
"I'll give you some more tips to make him unable to resist you..."
Shenfu.
Qingyuan searched every corner but could not find any trace of Shen Zhiyi.
He stopped Dui'er, who had just returned.
"Where did your young lady go?"
Dui'er stammered.
How could a young lady, a virgin, casually reveal her visits to the Chunfeng Brothel?
Qingyuan lowered his gaze.
His dark eyes emitted a deep blue luster, staring directly at Dui'er.
"explain."
Dui'er's expression instantly went blank, and she replied blankly, "Miss went to Chunfeng Pavilion."
Qingyuan frowned. "Where is Chunfeng Tower?"
Dui'er: "Spring Breeze Pavilion is a place where men and women seek pleasure."
Qingyuan's expression suddenly darkened.
With a flick of his sleeve, he vanished from the spot.
Dui'er suddenly came to her senses, looked around, and said, "Strange, how did I end up standing here?"
She rubbed her arms and walked towards the kitchen.
...
Spring Breeze Pavilion.
As soon as Qingyuan entered, several girls stared in amazement.
Then, they rushed forward one after another.
"Young master, what would you like to play?"
"Young master, this way please."
"Young Master~"
"Get out!" Qingyuan flicked his sleeves, refusing their approach.
His eyes flashed sharply as he scanned the surroundings.
The powerful aura emanating from his body instantly frightened everyone away.
He saw many men and women, their clothes disheveled, embracing each other intimately, drinking and laughing.
The thought that Shen Zhiyi might also be somewhere, laughing and joking with a man of unknown origin... overwhelmed his eyes with intense emotions, and the knuckles hanging at his sides slowly tightened, making a clicking sound.
The jawline was hard and cold.
Several girls in the building, seeing his expression, huddled together in fear and whispered among themselves.
"Damn it, this person isn't here to spend money, he's here to cause trouble!"
"Go tell your mother quickly."
They exchanged a glance, then hurriedly ran to Shen Zhiyi's private room and opened the door.
Through the gap, Qingyuan saw Shen Zhiyi's face, which looked very interested.
His face was dark as he strode over.
The girls ran away in fright.
He pressed his large hand against the door of the private room and pulled it open forcefully.
Swipe—
Shen Zhiyi turned around and saw Qingyuan, and was startled.
"What are you doing here?!"
Qingyuan pursed his lips and strode closer.
Seeing that the person sitting opposite her was a woman, the heavy weight in her heart finally lifted a little.
But his face still looked very sour.
He grabbed her wrist and pulled her to her feet.
"Come home with me."
Shen Zhiyi was surprised, "Weren't you... avoiding me all along?"
"What brings you here now?"
She hadn't even finished asking her question.
The madam's story was so captivating; she couldn't let her money go to waste.
Qingyuan's dark eyes locked onto her with a deep, unfathomable gaze.
"You don't want to leave?"
He seemed to be extremely restrained, gritting his teeth as he uttered these words.
Shen Zhiyi's lips moved, but before she could say anything, he suddenly swept her up in his arms.
"Ah—" she exclaimed.
Qingyuan's fingers gripped hers tightly, and he lowered his gaze, saying, "Whether you want to leave or not, you have to."
