The Eldest Daughter is Delicate and Pretty, How Can She Be a Malicious Supporting Character - Chapter 111

Chapter 111: The Prostitutes of Qingfeng Pavilion

Xue Yiran felt like she was having the worst luck today. She came to browse a rouge shop, and she got bumped into by someone. Not only that, but she also bumped into the spot that had just been “injured”.

The pain was making her grit her teeth.

She saw that the man in front of her looked decent, but he didn’t seem to have any valuable items on him.
He was practically penniless.

She was the third miss of the noble Xue family, and now she was being surrounded by a crowd like a monkey, all thanks to this man.

She had been arguing with him, demanding an explanation, and she couldn’t swallow the anger in her heart.

Jiang Li slightly furrowed his brows. He was handsome and refined, with a simple blue robe that accentuated his elegant demeanor.

When he saw the lady in front of him, who was dressed exquisitely but had a sharp tongue, he apologized politely, “Miss, it was my fault just now. We both entered and exited at the same time, and you, being lively and carefree, bumped into the doorframe. It’s all my fault.”

His words took all the blame on himself, but upon closer inspection, he was clearly explaining to the onlookers who didn’t know the situation that Xue Yiran wasn’t looking where she was going and was now being aggressive.

Pei Lingyi stood on the stairs, slightly raising the corner of her mouth.
This was interesting.

But Xue Yiran was clearly in a rage and didn’t think clearly. She heard the man apologize, and her tone became even more aggressive, “Since this gentleman admits his mistake, he should compensate me. I’m not someone who nitpicks.”

“Do you think there’s a problem with resolving things with money?”

She glanced at him, only caring about how much money he could produce.

Their argument had already drawn a crowd.

Xiangxue Lane sold rouge and cosmetics, and the customers were usually ladies or misses. There weren’t many men, but gentlemen like Jiang Li, who was noble and refined, were rare.

Someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, revealing the man’s identity, “Isn’t that the Young Master Jiang Li from Qingfeng Courtyard?”

As soon as this was said, everyone present showed contemptuous expressions.

Even Xue Yiran was a bit puzzled.
What kind of place was Qingfeng Courtyard?

Then Jinxin tugged at her sleeve and whispered in her ear, “Qingfeng Courtyard is a male brothel in the capital.”

She spoke softly, seeming a bit embarrassed.

But Xue Yiran felt like she had caught onto the other party’s weakness, and her gaze became superior.

No wonder this man was buying rouge here. It turned out he was buying it for himself.

At first, people only heard Xue Yiran’s aggressive voice, but now that they knew the man’s identity, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

“This is in broad daylight? How dare these lowly people come to buy rouge with us?”

“It’s meaningless. I don’t want to come to Xiangxue Lane again.”

Some ladies and misses, who were dressed luxuriously, changed their expressions drastically after hearing the man’s occupation.
They even left without hesitation, and the crowd dispersed.

The man stood alone, slightly lowering his head, but his back was as straight as a bamboo.

The hair on his forehead hid his expression.

Somehow, Xue Yiran felt uncomfortable seeing him like this.

But today was not her day, and who asked him to bump into her at the wrong time?

She naturally wanted to teach him a lesson.

“How much money do you want me to compensate, Miss?” He raised his head, smiled calmly, and seemed unaffected by the whispers around him.

Xue Yiran’s words caught in her throat as she looked into his eyes, which were so bright.

Was this kind of person really a prostitute who used his looks to serve others?

“Oh my goodness, what happened here?” Lin Xiangxue hurried down from the second floor and saw the deserted first floor.

Xue Yiran and Jiang Li were facing each other, and a box of pearl powder was scattered on the ground.

Lin Xiangxue approached them and asked, “Did you two have a misunderstanding?”

“Young Master Jiang Li is a regular customer of ours. Let’s resolve things amicably. What’s the point of arguing?”

Pei Lingyi and Changle had been watching from a distance, and she naturally wanted to pay more attention to Xue Yiran’s situation.

However, the capital was so big, and she rarely went out of the mansion.
How was it that she kept running into her?

This was really too coincidental.

Her eyelashes trembled, and she hid the deep thoughts in her eyes.

Hmm… Could it be that the protagonist and the villainess were destined to clash, and the protagonist’s every moment had to be witnessed by her?

Ridiculous.

Since the other party had delivered herself into her hands, she would naturally “entertain” her well.

Changle was also someone who loved to watch excitement, especially when the people involved were acquaintances.

Pei Lingyi had originally wanted to go up and test Xue Yiran’s attitude towards her.

But unexpectedly, the man who had been standing with his back to her revealed a jade-like profile.

Just one glance made Pei Lingyi’s heart skip a beat, and a look of disbelief flashed across her eyes.

But only for a moment, she suppressed her emotions.
Things were getting more and more interesting.

“Third Miss Xue, what a coincidence. We’ve met again.”

Changle saw her good friend approach Xue Yiran and greet her, and she couldn’t help but widen her eyes in surprise.
What was going on?

The beautiful woman’s gentle voice came from afar, and the two people facing each other paused for a moment.
She looked at Pei Lingyi’s gentle smile as she walked over, but for a moment, it made her feel a chill run down her spine.

But more than that, she felt guilty.

She didn’t dare look at her and replied casually, “Miss Pei, what a coincidence.”

Pei Lingyi had been observing Xue Yiran’s expression and found it amusing that she didn’t dare look directly at her.

Had she done something wrong?

No one paid attention to the fact that the man standing like a bamboo had paused slightly when he heard the surname “Pei”, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were rubbing against each other.

Pei Lingyi saw that Xue Yiran’s eyes were avoiding hers, so she turned to look at the man behind her. After seeing his face, her feelings became even stronger.

It was him…

The man wore a blue robe and had black hair. His eyebrows were lowered, and his face was gentle and refined. He had a comfortable appearance, but Pei Lingyi still noticed that he had a resemblance to someone.

Just a bit less sharpness.

This was extremely interesting. No one would have thought that someone like him would be a prostitute, the most lowly of professions.

As expected, his current situation was also the result of that person’s doing.

Xue Yiran didn’t know why, but maybe when facing Xue Baohua, she could argue with her confidently.

But Pei Lingyi’s expression was much better than Xue Baohua’s, and yet Xue Yiran felt an inexplicable sense of panic.

This feeling made her want to escape from her urgently. At this moment, she just wanted to leave quickly.

“I have something to attend to, so I’ll leave first. Miss Pei, we’ll catch up next time we have a chance.”

After saying that, she hurriedly walked out the door.
