The servant looked at Su Yan and said,
"Young Master, Chu Feng the clerk said he won’t et with you today."
Su Yan paused in her action of drinking water,
"Why?"
The servant hesitated.
The Brothel Madam slapped the servant’s face,
"Young Master is asking you sothing, answer quickly!?"
"Clerk Chu Feng said you were late to the agreed eting ti today. He waited for you the whole day in the courtyard and caught a bit of cold.
It’s inconvenient for him to et you now."
Su Yan listened to such a reason.
She did not speak for a long while.
Lanzhi knew her Young Master liked that male prostitute very much, and today she was here to redeem him with Silver.
She has often pandered closely behind Chu Feng on regular days.
Although Lanzhi was angry at Chu Feng in her heart,
What mattered most was for the Young Master to be happy.
Why is he unable to co out because of a cold today?
Because the Silver has not been given yet.
Once he is redeed, this Silver won’t be sothing that can be demanded anyti.
Lanzhi hesitated to speak,
"Young Master, the Luminous Pearl from the South Sea that you ordered to buy with five thousand taels, I have brought it."
As she spoke, Lanzhi took out a box carved from red sandalwood and opened it.
A huge Luminous Pearl appeared before everyone’s eyes.
The Brothel Madam nearly couldn’t believe her eyes.
Her gaze was firmly fixed on the Luminous Pearl.
A five thousand taels Luminous Pearl?
That South Sea rarity?
Finally, the Brothel Madam couldn’t help herself and stepped forward,
"Marquis, may I have a closer look?"
Su Yan nodded,
"Have a look."
The Brothel Madam took it from Lanzhi’s hands.
Her excited hands trembled.
Of course, she had seen many valuable items before,
But such a fine item was rare.
The Brothel Madam looked at it for a long ti, happy to secure the box and hold it in her arms.
Bowing her body towards Su Yan, she said,
"Young Master, allow to persuade Chu Feng. Although he caught a cold from waiting and is not feeling well, he should still co to et you.
Chu Feng likes the Luminous Pearl the most, and now that you, Young Master, have spent a lot of money to purchase it, he should understand your good intentions."
With those words, the Brothel Madam planned to carry the Luminous Pearl to the small courtyard.
Su Yan spoke out,
"Wait."
The Brothel Madam was startled, a broad smile on her face,
"Young Master, what is it?"
Su Yan signaled to Lanzhi,
"Leave the pearl here."
The Brothel Madam stiffened,
"Young Master?"
Lanzhi, who was always quick to act on orders, stepped forward and took the Luminous Pearl from the Brothel Madam’s arms.
Su Yan looked at the tea she had finished drinking.
Then she looked outside at the sky, which had turned completely dark.
She said,
"I ca today to keep a promise. To redeem him at dusk.
Now that the night has fallen and he is unwilling, I won’t insist."
With these words, the Brothel Madam completely froze on the spot.
"Marquis, don’t be angry. Chu Feng caught a cold from waiting for you; he probably just wants your concern."
As she spoke, the Brothel Madam looked towards the servant beside her,
"What are you standing there for?! Go invite him again!"
The Brothel Madam’s tone grew harsher.
The servant imdiately nodded and walked to the back courtyard.
Su Yan, watching these won flocking toward her, felt a bit bored.
She lowered her head, remaining silent.
The Brothel Madam imdiately said,
"Young Master, are you dissatisfied with these girls?
At Hua Man Building, we have so new slim clerks. Would you like to see them?"
Before Su Yan could answer,
The Brothel Madam instructed,
"Go! Bring the new clerks out. Let the Young Master have a look."
At this mont, the Brothel Madam’s mood fluctuated.
Su Yan put the teacup down on the table.
She stood up.
Addressing Lanzhi beside her,
"Give them so Silver"
The ’them’ she referred to were the won who had just gathered around Su Yan.
