1022: Chapter 1024: Zhao Yang’s Innermost Feelings (1) 1022: Chapter 1024: Zhao Yang’s Innermost Feelings (1) Due to its location on the edge of Liaodan and Lingbei, Qing County had a developed comrcial sector, particularly the sex industry, which was extrely competitive.
Brothels ca up with all kinds of unimaginable sches, investing not only in training their girls but also in renovations and facilities to make their establishnts exquisite.
Under the guidance of two elders, Cai Wei entered the brothel across the street called the Pear Blossom Brothel.
Since it was still early, the girls and their clients had not yet woken up.
Only a few maids tasked with rough work busied themselves back and forth.
Upon seeing newcors, who were clearly not patrons, they dared to approach and inquire.
After the old couple explained their business, a maid who was wiping a vase glanced over them and, twisting her body, went to the back room to summon the madam.
The madam was relieving herself on a night bucket when she heard that soone had co to redeem one of her girls.
Thinking it was like the arrival of the God of Wealth, she was delighted and quickly ordered tea and fruit to be prepared, while she herself hastily grabbed so rough paper, wiped herself haphazardly, and scurried to the Flower Hall.
Cai Wei and the two elders sat in the Flower Hall.
A maid brought tea and fruit, but Cai Wei, uncomfortable with the place, simply sat and didn’t touch the tea, and the elderly couple, out of nervousness, didn’t dare to eat or drink either.
When the madam entered the Flower Hall, her eyes quickly swept over the elderly couple and then fixated precisely on Cai Wei.
By then, Cai Wei had already removed her hood, knowing that negotiating with her face covered would hardly convey sincerity.
Moreover, she needed her face to assert the identity of the Wife of King Qin to suppress the madam.
“Hehe, may I ask from which mansion this girl cos?
You possess such a fine beauty!”
As soon as the madam saw Cai Wei’s face, she genuinely started to praise her, thoughts churning in her mind.
Such a beauty, if she could fall into her hands, she was sure she could turn her second-rate brothel into the top-ranked one in Qing County, and then all the competing brothels would be beneath her…
Lost in her wishful thinking, Cai Wei suddenly spoke, “Thank you, Mother, for the complint.
I am not a local.
I’ve co especially today to redeem the granddaughter of these two elders.”
Having said that, she took out the silver bills worth fifty taels of silver and stood up to personally place them on the case to the madam’s left hand.
“This is the fifty taels of silver you ntioned earlier.
Please have a look!”
The madam glanced at the silver bill, leisurely took a sip of her tea, laughed, and said, “There’s no hurry with the silver bill matters.
But this old body dares to ask, what is this girl’s relationship to these two old folks?”
Cai Wei softly laughed and said, “A passerby who occasionally learned of the child’s story, I felt a mont of compassion and thus lent a hand to these two elders.”
The madam’s eyes surreptitiously swept over Cai Wei again, and with a smile, she said, “Out of re compassion, to give such a large amount of silver to save soone, surely the girl must be of either great wealth or high status!”
The Old Pious Woman was roundabout in inquiring about Cai Wei’s background, her purpose clear without saying.
Cai Wei was clear-hearted and clear-minded, how could she let the madam entertain such ideas?
She imdiately laughed and said, “Speaking of which, Mother must have heard of .
My husband is the King Qin who recently returned victorious from the northern expedition!”
She refrained from ntioning the title ‘The Prince.’ Being far from the Capital, the news of King Qin being nad The Prince might take months to reach Qing County, and even if it did, it might not reach the ears of common people.
Therefore, she still claid the title of Wife of King Qin.
“The Wife of King Qin?
You are…
the Wife of King Qin?”
The madam’s eyes widened in surprise, her astute eyeballs almost rolling onto Cai Wei.
