Chapter 396: Chapter 396 Spring Fragrance House Chapter 396: Chapter 396 Spring Fragrance House The procuress was a middle-aged woman in her forties, corpulent with an affluent look, her face heavily coated with rouge and face powder. One could tell at a glance that she was a seasoned frequenter of places of debauchery. As she ca out, her eyes incessantly surveyed Xuexue and Big Bull.
Fearing the procuress’s scolding for bringing soone into the brothel without permission, the thug quickly pointed at Xuexue and started explaining, “Nanny Sun, this young lady said she has a lucrative opportunity to discuss with you, which is why I brought her here.”
“Oh!”
The procuress replied absentmindedly, her eyes fixed intently on Big Bull, thinking to herself how handso this young man was and wondering where he had co from.
Being stared at by a middle-aged woman for so long, Big Bull’s face grew increasingly sour.
Seeing that he was about to lose his temper, Xuexue quickly stepped forward, smiling at Nanny Sun, “You’re Nanny Sun, right? I need to discuss sothing with you.”
Nanny Sun reluctantly shifted her gaze from Big Bull, glanced at Xuexue, and then casually inspected the colorful polish on her nails before saying, “What could a young lady possibly need from ? You’re not thinking of selling yourself, are you?”
Big Bull could no longer contain his anger, “You’re spouting nonsense, believe it or not, I will rip your mouth apart.”
“Aiyo, young master, if it’s not true, then it’s not, no need to get so upset, right?”
The procuress, accustod to the ways of a place of debauchery and having seen all sorts of people from various walks of life, didn’t take Big Bull’s anger to heart at all—otherwise she’d have been driven mad by the many patrons she dealt with daily.
“Nanny Sun, Big Bull has a bad temper, don’t take it to heart, let’s go inside and talk slowly,” Xuexue intervened.
“All right then.”
After all, it was the off-season at Spring Fragrance House, and there weren’t many clients.
The procuress turned and walked into the house.
Xuexue turned to Big Bull, “Big Bull, wait for outside, I have sothing to discuss with Nanny Sun.”
Big Bull agreed and followed the thug to the front door, where he sat drinking tea and waiting for Xuexue to co out.
About two hours later, Nanny Sun erged smiling, with Xuexue by her side.
At the entrance, Xuexue stopped, turned around, and said to Nanny Sun, “Let’s do it like this, then, Spring Fragrance House will close for ten days. After renovations are done, we will reopen.”
“Alright, alright!” Nanny Sun seed like a changed person, nodding and bowing to Xuexue.
The few thugs at the door were stunned, wondering what exactly was going on. Was this really the sa domineering Nanny Sun they knew?
Holding a piece of paper, Xuexue tucked it inside her jacket and left with Big Bull.
Watching their figures slowly disappear.
Curiously, the thug asked Nanny Sun, “Nanny Sun, what did that girl say to you? Why were you so respectful to her?”
Nanny Sun withdrew her gaze, glanced sharply at them, and said impatiently, “Mind your own business! Just do your jobs.”
Put off, the thugs didn’t dare to say another word. After all, Nanny Sun was the boss, and they were just servants.
Marketplace
The place was bustling with people coming and going, a cacophony of voices and a scene of thriving activity ever-present.
Xuexue and Big Bull went into a sundries shop and bought several bags of rice and white flour since there would be a banquet in a few days. They also purchased a substantial amount of cooking essentials like oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. The shopkeeper, seeing them as big custors, ca over beaming and attended to Xuexue and Big Bull with great enthusiasm.
Since they bought in bulk, the shopkeeper offered to use the shop’s own ox-cart to deliver the goods back to Mo Family Village for free.
Realizing that they still had many items to buy, they asked the shopkeeper to wait in the shop a little longer. They would return after purchasing the rest and then head back to Mo Family Village together. Being big custors of their own store, the shopkeeper readily agreed.
