Today in the capital, the weather is sunny and outside the Yanyu Building, there are often pedestrians stopping to look up at the magnificent building.
In earlier years, before Miss Bai took control of the Yanyu Tower, it was just an ordinary building and the top courtesans were not very famous.
But since Bai Zheng took over, business had declined and the reputation of the red card girls gradually grew. Those who came to admire the dancing and music were mostly wealthy young people.
At first, they came secretly, but after a few visits, they became regulars and no longer felt the need to hide.
Over time, the reputation of the Yanyu Building grew, and even famous people from the capital came to enjoy tea and talk about trivial matters.
For example, which official had been impeached, or how the Princess Zhao Yang’s status as ruler of the Seven Cities threatened the emperor’s power.
Once their fame was established, the most popular courtesans stopped seeing customers and instead became performers who did not sell their bodies. The Yanyu Building was also renovated to become even more elegant and refined, attracting many “distinguished guests.”
So when Xiao Jin and her group arrived at the Yanyu Building, they did not see the old madam soliciting guests at the door, and there were no smiling girls upstairs with flowing sleeves.
Although Xiao Jin’s eyes were covered with a layer of white silk, it didn’t mean she was blind and couldn’t see anything.
In online novels, whether male or female, shouldn’t the protagonist be pushed into the brothel by the powdered old madam with a face full of makeup? Where did all those young, lively girls go?
She looked at the sophisticated building and then at the elegant three characters on the plaque – Yanyu Tower.
She couldn’t believe this was a brothel and almost thought she was entering a tea house.
Xiao Jin felt a bit lonely.
The glory moment of online novel’ time traveler, visiting a brothel and the famous scene checklist had all turned out to be a bubble.
With this in mind, Xiao Jin’s motivation for investigating the case diminished somewhat, feeling that she was really at a loss wearing this outfit.
However, Chu Shao seemed quite interested, not at all surprised that the style of Yanyu Building was so fresh and elegant. With a calm smile on her face, she pushed Xiao Jin in.
Su Tan, dressed in a coarse blue shirt, followed closely behind the two, pretending to be a maid accompanying the young master and young lady on an outing.
As they approached the hall, two or three young servants in blue approached respectfully and led them to the center of the hall.
However, when the young servants saw Xiao Jin sitting in a wheelchair for the first time, they all involuntarily froze for a moment.
The reason was simple, because most of those who came to Yanyu Building were literary officials, with few women visiting.
Moreover, this person was blind and lame, and it was not clear what she could do for entertainment in this place.
Being surprised was one thing, but being hospitable was another.
The young servants could tell at a glance that Xiao Jin and Chu Shao were either rich or noble from a large family. After all, the clothes they were wearing were made of inch-long brocade and gold, with a beautiful and brilliant color, like clouds and mist woven together.
Even the maid beside them was as clear and beautiful as a lotus, not as capricious and willful as an ordinary servant girl.
Immediately, they greeted them with a smile and attentively seated the three of them, asking if they needed anything.
However, when Chu Shao asked what was in the building, the servants were dumbfounded.
Although this young master’s voice was very pleasant to listen to, as soon as they heard it… it was clearly a woman!
Xiao Jin looked at Chu Shao’s smiling face, then at the bewildered servants.
Even though she was wearing a white veil, this world was like a flower in the mist to her, and she felt embarrassed for Chu Shao even through her blindfold.
Unable to bear it any longer, she recalled the original plot and ordered some wine and food herself: “A pot of Qian Ri Chun, and some pastries or whatever will do.”
Of course, this was to dismiss the servants and end this eerie atmosphere.
However, considering that they still had to continue investigating the case, Xiao Jin calmly glanced at Chu Shao and said to the servants, “My elder brother is quite fond of fragrances and such things. I wonder if there is any girl in the building who is knowledgeable in making scents and could give us some advice?”
Although the servants already knew that Xiao Jin’s “elder brother” was probably fake, customers were gods, and especially since the other party was an extraordinary goddess.
Immediately, they revealed all they knew and respectfully replied, “Of course, there are two girls named ‘Lan Qing’ and ‘Wan Jun’ on the signboard who are both skilled in making fragrances. If the lady needs it, I will give you the signboard.”
Xiao Jin nodded slightly and took the signboard.
In her heart, she thought that the names of these two people seemed like ordinary people and were unlikely to be the ones behind ‘Chun Shan Kong’.
However, since she was already here, she had to experience the atmosphere and then discuss it at length.
Just as she nodded, the mechanical voice of the system suddenly sounded in her mind.
[Congratulations, host! Su Tan’s favorability rating -5]
“…”
Did she need to congratulate herself for losing 5 favorability points?
Compared to losing favorability points for no apparent reason, Xiao Jin looked at Su Tan, who seemed to be no different, and did not understand why her favorability had suddenly dropped.
Xiao Jin didn’t understand, but Su Tan was even more confused.
Certainly, there is deep-seated hatred between the Prince of Yan in Northern Qi and the Princess of Yao’s country, and it is impossible for there to be much affection between them.
But even though you, Xiao Jin, are now dressed as a woman, as a man, you cannot bring in a girl in front of your own wife.
Even if it is for the sake of investigating the case, by accepting the signboard so readily, where exactly is the princess placed and in what position?
Su Tan, as a citizen of Da Yao, even if her country is destroyed, she cannot bear to see her country’s princess being humiliated like this.
Moreover, this person is still Chu Shao, which makes her even more disgusted.
However, when Lan Qing and Wan Jun walked slowly over, Su Tan did not expect that her own princess would be the most interested.
Chu Shao smiled at the two girls while shaking her folding fan, and chatted with them for a long time.
She didn’t deliberately disguise her voice, so Lan Qing and Wan Jun knew very well that Chu Shao was a woman.
But when they saw Chu Shao’s face, they couldn’t help but feel fond of her. So they pretended not to know that the other person was a woman and talked to her with a smile.
“Sir, the incense pills need to be bound with jujube paste or refined honey. The adhesive also needs to be fragrant wood, so that it will emit fragrance at the same time.”
Chu Shao’s eyes were very gentle as she treated the two people with a gentle and thoughtful manner, “Oh, I see.”
In fact, Chu Shao didn’t care about how the incense pills were made. She just felt that since Xiao Jin had listened to her advice and put on a snow-colored robe, she should also give her some rewards in return.
For example, some clues about the incense pills, or enduring boredom to chat with the two people in front of her.
But Xiao Jin didn’t appreciate Chu Shao’s reward, her headache had already started from within.
Previously, having the female lead dress up in other disguises was simply a mistake.
How could it be like Chu Shao, who was wearing a disguise that was basically equivalent to not wearing one at all?
It would have been better not to dress up at all, at least the plot wouldn’t have become so magical.
While Xiao Jin and Su Tan seemed to fade into the background, Lan Qing covered her lips and chuckled.
As they chatted and reached a happy point, she told an interesting story: “Young master, you don’t know, in all the years I’ve been entertaining guests, I’ve never seen anyone as impatient as the man from a few days ago.”
“A few days ago?”
When Xiao Jin heard this keyword, she became somewhat excited.
Chu Shao still had a gentle smile on her face and followed up on Lan Qing’s words, “I wonder how impatient that person really was. Sister, would you mind telling me about it?”
Hearing this, Xiao Jin couldn’t help but furrow her brow.
Chu Shao had entered her role too quickly, with her constant use of “sister” and “I” making it clear that she was experienced.
Perhaps not used to having someone constantly hovering over her, Xiao Jin felt a little uneasy.
This feeling, which wasn’t exactly comfortable, turned into frustration when she saw Chu Shao’s smiling lips and the tiny beauty mark on her cheek through the white veil.
Although Xiao Jin didn’t know why she was feeling this way, perhaps it was because Chu Shao’s thought process was too unusual, often resulting in excessive behavior.
But when these transgressive actions were taken to a public level, she realized that Chu Shao was indiscriminate in her attacks on everyone.
Chu Shao could gently tie a jade belt for her, but she could also smear bright red on her lips with a flick of her finger.
Of course, she could also chat with others while laughing and holding a folding fan.
Because Chu Shao did everything for fun. If one day things stopped being fun, she would stop smiling and leave.
Actually, it was better for her to leave. The most frightening thing was to let a yandere get excited.
After all, Xiao Jin had witnessed Chu Shao in an excited state before.
At that time, she held a blood-stained silver sword and treated her dying victim with gentle whispers like a lover. The next moment, she mercilessly cut off their hands with her blade.
The warm blood splattered on her palm, but she didn’t think it was a bad thing.
On the contrary, she happily raised her lips and bent into a shallow smile, saying, “You make me happiest, so I treat you the best. I won’t treat you badly.”
Just thinking about it made Xiao Jin’s scalp tingle.
Even the gaze she cast on the two girls changed from frustration to pity.
Girls, life is worth living.
Don’t get close to a yandere, it will really lead to misery.
