C35 (1/2)

Dong Song Chen looked at the Holy Maiden's furious expression and knew that she did not dare to say anything else. He ignored her and went straight to the door, knocked on it and stood aside to wait for someone to open it.

The door was opened by the bawd of the 'Soft Fragrance Pavilion'. When she saw that it was Dong Song Chen, she brought the two of them to Tang An'an's room.

As they passed by the corridor, the Holy Maiden, with her face covered, walked behind the two of them with a perturbed mood, observing the surroundings of the brothel.

It was already late at night, and most of the rooms had their lights turned off. Occasionally, there would be a laugh or two. Other than that, there was only the sound of the Brothel Keeper, Eunuch Dong, and his own footsteps. He sighed inwardly at the thought of living in this strange, dirty environment for a while.

While the Holy Maiden was grieving over her own loss, a reckless person appeared out of nowhere and hurriedly rushed towards her. The Holy Maiden did not come back to her senses for a while, and was knocked back a few steps by this fellow. The Holy Maiden turned around and saw a fat fellow rolling down the stairs like a ball. As if he was anxious to be reborn, he ran out of the 'Soft Fragrance Pavilion'!

Looking at this fellow's comical appearance, he could not help but smile. However, thinking about his current situation, he felt that if he could be like this ball-like fellow and roll out and never come back, it would be a very enjoyable thing. However, when he thought of his master's instructions, he knew that it was just a thought. He had to accept reality!

When the Holy Maiden saw the old procuress and Eunuch Dong stop in one room, she knew that the person inside must be the girl who looked exactly like her. And then, he quickly walked a few steps to catch up.

The old procuress knocked on the door a few times, and after the door opened with a creak, a delicate face peeked out.

When her delicate face saw that it was Dong Song Chen, she hurriedly gave Dong Song Chen a 'blessings' and said, ”This little girl greets Eunuch Dong!”

Dong Song Chen nodded at her, smiled at her in satisfaction, and then looked at the Holy Maiden.

When the Holy Maiden standing outside saw this exquisite face, her eyes widened in surprise. She couldn't help but suspect that she was dreaming. Her heart cried out that this was impossible!

Seeing that she had completed her mission, the old procuress said to Dong Song Chen, ”Eunuch Dong, I've completed my mission. I shall take my leave now!” After he finished, he stood still and looked at Dong Song Chen with a smile.

Dong Song Chen was immersed in the satisfaction of his masterpiece, interrupted by the bawd's words. He was stunned for a moment, then unhappily took out a packet of silver taels from his sleeve, and indicated that she could leave now.

When the bawd saw the silver, both her eyes lit up. She happily held the cloth bag in her hands and weighed it in her hand. She was very satisfied. Then, she drifted away like a wisp of smoke.

When Tang An saw a lady dressed in red with a white veil standing in the corridor, he asked Dong Song Chen, ”Eunuch Dong, what is the purpose of this lady standing outside?!”

When Dong Song Chen saw that Tang An had asked this question, he smiled and pinched the tip of her nose, saying, ”This lady is your long-lost sister. I've brought her to meet you today!”

Tang An patted Dong Song Chen on the shoulder and said in a charming voice, ”Eunuch Dong, you're joking again!”

Dong Song Chen waved to the Holy Maiden and entered his room. He sat on a round wooden stool and started sipping his tea.
