Chapter 67: A Friend’s Invitation to Visit the Brothel
“I’m free! I’ve been so bored lately that it’s driving me crazy, so I decided to come out for a stroll.” Wen Chuan said shamelessly, reaching out to hook arms with Zhao Xian. “Sis, how about we go for a drink right after court, or I can take you to a nice place to broaden your horizons.”
“What kind of place?” Zhao Xian raised an eyebrow, feeling that this woman’s words sounded quite lewd.
“Zui Xian Pavilion… I heard a beauty arrived there yesterday, with such a face and figure…”
“…” Sure enough, Zhao Xian had a headache. Was she being asked out to visit a brothel? Speaking of which, she’s not like those transmigrated women who enjoy shopping around.
“Are you trying to disturb my peace?” Zhao Xian glanced at her with a wry smile.
Wen Chuan was touched to hear her speak so much at once. “You’ve said so many words to me at once; I’m so moved. In the past, the most you said to me was ‘go away’ or ‘shut up’.”
“…” Zhao Xian waved her hand. “Those places are full of unsavory characters; you should stay away too. You’re not young anymore, so it’s better to get married early to avoid being chased and beaten by your father.”
This was the truth. Despite her tough appearance, Wen Chuan was actually most afraid of her father. And Zhao Xian had seen her being chased by him more than once.
“Heavens, marriage? No, no. Let me tell you, men are just for looking at; it’s a real hardship to marry one. Just look at you now, you’re practically becoming a henpecked wife.”
“I’m happy to.” Zhao Xian glanced at her sideways.
“I feel like I’m being abused like a dog.” Wen Chuan said as he waved his folding fan in a debonair manner. “As a man, I’m not interested in marrying someone like that, always crying at the drop of a hat. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.”
Just as she finished speaking, she felt a gust of wind blow. Wen Chuan was momentarily stunned and muttered to himself, “Impressive inner strength.” Thinking quickly, she reached out and instantly grabbed the whip from the other party.
Looking up, there was a well-dressed young man in red looking at her coldly.
“How come? You look down on men like this, think women are so great? With the likes of you, I feel nauseous just looking at you.”
“What?” It was the first time Wen Chuan had been so openly despised, and she instantly felt her anger rising.
“I won’t fight with men,” although angry, Wen Chuan said calmly after a moment.
“Damn it, women think they’re so great. I can’t stand your arrogant attitude. I just want to beat you up when I see you.” As he spoke, the man in the red robe whipped fiercely… Wen Chuan saw that the man had great martial arts skills and couldn’t help but want to test them. In an instant, the two of them disappeared from the spot, flying over roofs and walls.
Watching the two figures fighting fiercely on the rooftops, Zhao Xian couldn’t help but rub her nose.
“You’re in for it,” Zhao Xian muttered under her breath.
If she remembered correctly, this was the young man she saw riding back to the city the other day, and she noticed the Princess An’s badge on his waist.
So the one just now was the young Prince of An County.
It seemed there was another interesting show to watch this time.
Feeling pleased, she turned and headed home…
When she returned to the Prime Minister’s mansion, Gu Tingshu had already woken up and was currently directing people to arrange the courtyard flowers and plants.
Zhao Xian looked around and saw that it was indeed more beautiful than before. Perhaps men in this world were very attentive!
As soon as Gu Tingshu saw her return, his face turned red and he walked up to her. “You’re back?”
“Well, did you eat anything? I brought some small dumplings for you; they taste good, try them.” Zhao Xian said as the guard handed the box to the servant next to Gu Tingshu.
“You bought breakfast for me?” Gu Tingshu was overjoyed. “Thank you…”
“By the way, I saw a lot of fine silk fabric lying idle in the warehouse. I picked out a few pieces and plan to make clothes for you. I’ll help you measure your size later.” Gu Tingshu said happily.
