C51 (1/2)

Su Zhi's train of thoughts was interrupted. She looked toward the private room on the second floor, finding the voice. She was looking at a cynical face.

She was a beautiful and elegant woman, but she was also very unruly. At first glance, she looked like a good-for-nothing.

His shout silenced the hall. No one dared to refute him.

He hadn't thought that the crown prince of the Eternal Ning Prince's estate would also be here.

At that moment, a few of the young masters came up to greet him, flattering him.

Lu Huan acted as if he didn't care. He got up and brushed off his wrinkled clothes, then said: ”Miss, I'll buy this' Orchid Sky Valley '. Is five hundred taels of silver enough?”

Su Zhi was at a loss as to how to respond. Not only was it enough, she had returned the room money and the twenty taels from Liu Yuan. Not only that, she could also spend a portion of the money on purchasing limited quantities of items.

”Enough, enough! Her Highness the Crown Prince smiled for the beauty. ”Such extravagance is truly admirable.”

Lu Huan's bright smile called for the manservant to go downstairs and get the items.

When Su Zhi held out her hands, they were still shaking violently.

Having earned six or seven hundred silver taels in one night, the thrill of this day's gold rush was like a dream.

The young masters of the other lords looked at each other and smiled in understanding.

It seemed like the crown prince had found his prey tonight.

Who in Xuan City didn't know that the crown prince of the Eternal Ning Prince's estate was born with an amorous character and was nostalgic for the beautiful streets and willow alleys? He was a man with a heart of flowers.

Any woman he took a fancy to, even a nun or a widow from a temple, could be captured easily.

This man was skilled and had a handsome and free and unrestrained face. As long as his attacks were slightly fierce, there was no woman who would not be tempted.

The concubines in the backyard were comparable to the three thousand beauties of the imperial palace. One could see the extent of their revulsion towards the old.

”Crown Prince, I can't even see this girl's face, don't be distracted. Be careful not to reveal her pure face under the veil.”

”Hahahaha.”

Lu Huan Zhi snorted lightly when he heard the teasing of his peers. He was not angry at all. ”What do you know? This prince is confident. This … this must be a peerless beauty!”

After Su Zhi successfully sold all the perfume, she put on her felt hat and quietly left from the backstage.

Seeing that the servant had left, Lu Huan Zhi called her personal attendant over and left after giving a few instructions.

Su Zhi walked out of the Phoenix Maiden Pavilion, her hands shaking in excitement as she carried the banknotes she had exchanged with the old procuress and headed towards Spring Leaf Alley.

At this time, the sky had already darkened.

There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. It was a hidden danger that Su Zhi was planning to rent a carriage.

Just past a deserted alley, a man dressed like a servant came into the alley. He looked a little familiar.

She thought about it for a moment and realized that it was the follower of the master who just took the auction for the Orchid Sky Valley.

”Miss, please hold your steps. The Crown Prince has invited you.”

Su Zhi was puzzled. Seeing that no one was around, she tightened her sleeves and asked, ”May I ask what is the matter, Your Highness?”

”Since you bought the girl's things, you should at least ask her what her name is, right?”

She was startled when she heard the voice coming from behind. She turned around and saw that it was Lu Huan Zhi.

”Greetings, Crown Prince.”

”No need for formalities.”

Lu Huan Zhi held onto her shoulders and caressed her hands without leaving a trace.

Su Zhi resisted instinctively. In the past, when she bowed to Xiao Qian and Liu Yuan, the latter would only hold her up and not touch her skin.

She was not used to seeing Lu Huan act like this today.

”A commoner should speak lightly and have a lowly status. How could she insult the Crown Prince's ears?”

Hearing her call herself a commoner, Lu Huan Zhi raised her eyebrows and asked, ”You're already married?”

”That's right, she has already become a married child.”

”If that's the case, what a pity …”

Lu Huan Zhi stroked her smooth chin. Disappointment could already be seen in her eyes.
