Chapter 104: Secrets Exposed (1/2)
After Ye Wuchen returned to the Ye residence, it was not long before he took Ning Xue out for a walk. In truth, he really liked being treated as a young master. He does not need to attend school, to go to work, and all his needs were completely taken cared of by somebody else. During his free time he could teach sister to paint, or play in water with Ning Xue, even stroll around the streets. He was free to do anything at his leisure.
Ye Wuchen was not the focal point of every person wherever they went, because the rings of light looped around his body. Now that the news had spread about the Hua Family breaking off the marriage and were now inclined towards the Ye Family, yet another ring of light had been added around his head.
Looking at the sky, he mumbled to himself in a low voice, “It should be today… But, what’s with this strange feeling? Could it be that some changes took place outside of my calculations?”
“Brother, I want to eat this one!”
Ye Wuchen went over and paid for it.
“Brother, look at this butterfly, isn’t it beautiful?”
Ye Wuchen went over and paid for it.
“Ah? Brother, that one is turning all by itself! So strange.” Ning Xue was pointing at a pinwheel. Ye Wechun did not say anything further and proceeded to pay.
Meng Yan House, the place where he had “offended” Princess Fei Huang, which was also the reason why he came today. He held Ning Xue’s hand tightly and smiled, “Xue-er, let’s go inside to have fun for a while.”
For the young master of Ye to strut inside one of the very best brothels in Tian Long City caused numerous passers-by to be taken aback. Rumors said that this young master had turned down all the marriage proposals from countless aristocratic chancellors, then he comes to a place like this. Could it be that this famous young master liked this kind of excitement?
Furthermore leading along a young woman……
Different from what he imagined, the one who welcomed them was not a middled aged woman with a flirtatious behavior and heavy make-up, but instead a delicate woman. Her lovely voice said, “What a charming young man. You look like a very important guest…”
“Stop the act.” Ye Wuchen glanced at her impatiently, “Bring me to see Shui Mengchan. I think she will be interested to see me.”
The woman’s face went stiff for a moment, then she covered her mouth and laughed, “Young master you must be joking. Lady Shui is the most valuable person in our Meng Yan House. Who doesn’t know that she belongs to the Emperor? She will not meet any men during ordinary days. Many men coming to Meng Yan House everyday, no one dares to ask to see Lady Shui, please do not make light of it. Judging by your appearance, you must be from a rich family. If you don’t mind, I will be the one to personally entertain you. Could it be that I’m nothing compared to Lady Shui?”
Ye Wuchen glanced at her, then said in a low voice, “Didn’t think that the people of the Southern Empire would fail in tracing a person’s whereabouts, but their talent in acting is quite good. Your Southern Empire leader had summoned people to monitor me for six days, two of those days were you and somebody with a similar body build like you. One night, I knocked you unconscious when I was in a hurry. Young miss, you have been secretly watched me for a very long time, how could you forget who I am?”
The face of this “young woman” transformed again. She put away her painstakingly fake appearance and said with a complicated expression, “Follow me.”
Inside the Meng Yan House, music played everywhere and the men and women inside were missing some pieces of clothing. Obscene and extravagant sounded, utterly immoral to the ears, it was difficult to imagine that a princess of the Southern Empire, also the Emperor’s woman, would live in such a place. And it was rumored that the number of times she left this place within the past five years was less than three times.
Ignoring the astonished looks from the men and women, Ye Wuchen did not glance sideways and only headed straight, following behind the woman while holding Ning Xue in his arms. They proceeded through the second floor and continued until they reached the topmost floor.
A door with a seal of a private room pushed open and faint, sweet scent assailed their nostrils. Without any prompting from the young woman, he bluntly stepped inside. The young woman furrowed her brows, unable to bear it. “You already knew that we are people from the Southern Empire. Do you not fear that by entering without any careful consideration, we could easily kill you?”
Ye Wuchen turned a deaf ear, flipped a hand to shut the door loudly, angering the woman, who tried to warn him, and she nearly stomped her feet.
“Brother, what is this place?” Ning Xue asked, observing all around.
“This is a place with plenty of women. For example, on top of your head there’s three women, at the back of the door there’s two women, at the far right side behind the curtain there’s two women leaning on it and their posture is quite offensive to the eyes. Ahead, behind the veiled door is a person. All of them are secretly observing us.” Ye Wuchen described. He then proceeded to the elegant seat in the middle, moving Ning Xue to sit on his lap, a hand wrapped around her waist, another hand held a teacup with the distinct fragrance of the tea. He nonchalantly drank a mouthful.
The spots that Ye Wuchen had mentioned had clearly exuded fiercer auras with the rise and fall of their breaths.
“Why won’t they come out?” Ye Ning Xue asked.
