Du Lang was most familiar with the workings of this place.
It was feared that the person above must be of high status and influence.
Du Lang moved closer to the leader, lowering his voice
"Speak."
The leader spit out three words from his mouth.
"Ouyang Qing."
Du Lang was taken aback.
He stared at the leader for a long ti.
Then, he walked back to Su Yan’s side.
Su Yan looked at Du Lang
"Who?"
Du Lang lowered his voice
"The Third Prince, Ouyang Qing."
Su Yan blinked.
Ouyang Qing, a person not much different from her original self... a bastard.
Brothels and willow lanes, teasing cats and dogs, idling every day.
Just wandering around, day after day.
Entering brothels, it was said that recently he had taken a fancy to slender officials.
Lingering in the brothels every day.
Literally living a drunken, dreamy life.
What was scary was not the person himself.
But the identity of this Third Prince.
Soone from the Royal Family.
Untouchable.
The grey area had its own rules.
Although it was also a place where the one with the biggest fist spoke the loudest.
Yet so people were still untouchable.
Just like those from the Royal Family.
Thinking of brothels, Su Yan’s thoughts shifted to Ji Yu, who had returned to Hua Man Building.
Then, she blinked.
She stood up from her seat.
She looked at Du Lang
"Handle things here well, then co find ."
Du Lang was montarily stunned, then nodded
"Yes."
Su Yan placed the tea cup in her hand on the table.
Then she looked at the onlookers in the room, who were trembling with fear.
She spoke slowly
"This is the fate of those who play tricks. This gambling house is the fairest of all. Surely everyone has seen this."
Her soft voice lacked lethal power.
Yet it made everyone rush to nod and agree
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Right, right, right."
One by one, they nodded their heads in fear.
Su Yan was very satisfied with this effect.
She turned around, pushing open the iron door, and led her people grandiosely out.
After walking a long distance, Lanzhi said
"Young Master, aren’t you worried that this will an no more business for the gambling house?"
Su Yan walked on slowly
"I’m not short of money."
Four words that left Lanzhi at a loss for words.
Young Master Su was not short of money; before the Princess passed away, she gave all her family property and dowry to Young Master Su.
Fearing that Young Master Su would suffer in the future.
The Princess’s family was a wealthy rchant clan, her brother a powerful minister in the court.
When the Princess married into the Marquis Mansion, it was sowhat an overreach.
Her father, fearing that his only daughter would be looked down upon,
actually gave half of his wealth as her dowry.
How many Silver Tael was that?
Well, consider this.
Most of the pawnshops and banks in the Capital were owned by the Princess’s family.
Half of this majority now belonged to Su Yan.
The banknotes, the pawnshops.
The most valuable things were all grasped in Su Yan’s hands.
Not to ntion the mansions, farmlands, and so on.
When ordinary people married, the alleys were filled with silver and fabrics.
The family of the Princess had a separate large trunk, filled with shop deeds and Land Contracts.
Now, that large trunk belonged to Young Master Su.
One could imagine Young Master Su’s current worth.
The Marquis’s favoritism towards Young Master Su was partly due to affection.
And partly because of these possessions.
Bear in mind, the silver on Young Master Su was enough to match three Marquis Mansions.
Lanzhi followed behind Su Yan.
Walking along, she realized that their Young Master had actually co to this Hua Man Building in broad daylight.
Lanzhi saw that the main doors of Hua Man Building were slightly ajar.
Brothels and inns, they are all open at night.
Who opens in the middle of the day?
But it seed that Young Master Su did not have these concerns.
He walked straight up, pushed the door open, and entered.
