Following that, Su Yan walked into the hall.
The Brothel Madam hurriedly put away the silver note and approached Su Yan
"Young Master? Leaving so early today?"
Su Yan nodded
"I have sothing to discuss with you, Madam."
The Brothel Madam quickly replied
"Please speak, whatever Young Master commands, I am bound to comply even if it ans going through fire and water."
Su Yan nodded
"I want to redeem Ji Yu from her bonded life here. How much silver is needed?"
The Brothel Madam was taken aback, hesitating
"Has Ji Yu agreed to this...?"
Su Yan nodded
"Yes"
The Brothel Madam’s gaze then turned to Third Prince, who was gleefully playing with a group of girls.
She continued
"Not to hide from Young Master, Third Prince ca here with the sa intention of redeeming Ji Yu.
Now that both of you wish to redeem the sa person, I truly do not know to whom I should give Ji Yu."
Listening, Su Yan’s gaze fell on Ouyang Qing who was cavorting nearby.
Ouyang Qing seed to have overheard the Brothel Madam’s words.
He turned his head and looked over.
His eyes eting Su Yan’s.
Third Prince smiled with a lazy, enchanting charm
"Young Master, I’ve long admired you."
While saying this, he drank the wine handed to him by one of the girls.
After drinking, he stood up from amidst the crowd of won.
With his disheveled clothes, he swaggered over to Su Yan.
First, Third Prince glanced at Su Yan, then turned his attention to Lanzhi standing behind her.
He said with a laugh
"This is the first ti I’ve seen a man bring a serving girl to the brothel."
Su Yan blinked, his voice light
"You wish to redeem Ji Yu?"
Third Prince nodded seriously
"Of course, Ji Yu and I hit it off from the start, and during our interactions, I’ve co to admire him greatly.
I must redeem him and not allow him to continue living in this alley of fleeting pleasures."
He rested his hand on the stair railing.
Seemingly nonchalant
"Young Master, redeeming Ji Yu also depends on whether he agrees. After all, both of us wish him well, right?"
Su Yan’s concern wasn’t there, but rather on the phrase
"You’ve co to admire him?"
Third Prince was montarily startled, then smiled
"Naturally, with Ji Yu’s elegant deanor, proficient Ancient Zither skills, literary grace and his excellent tea brewing skills, it’s hard to believe anyone would dislike him."
Su Yan blinked, gazing at him
"He has played the zither for you, brewed tea for you, and told you about his literary talents?"
Ouyang Qing didn’t know why the conversation was taking this turn.
He had intended to make the Young Master back off voluntarily.
Yet as they talked, the subject kept circling back to Ji Yu.
Ouyang Qing rested a hand on his forehead
"Young Master asks so many questions; it seems Ji Yu has never done any of these for you. What do you usually do together, just sit in silence and stare at each other?"
Ouyang Qing almost laughed at the thought of that scene.
Su Yan did not respond.
Ouyang Qing looked at the Young Master, who was dressed neatly, speaking in a structured manner.
His posture while walking, how could it resemble that of the rumorously reckless and domineering Little Tyrant?
He beca a bit more curious about Su Yan.
Especially since he had overheard the whole conversation between her and the Brothel Madam.
Which piqued his interest even more.
So, he stopped probing and directly asked
"Did Ji Yu agree to you redeeming her?"
Su Yan nodded
"Naturally."
A gleam crossed Ouyang Qing’s eyes.
He then proceeded to size Su Yan up and down.
Muttering
"I can’t see anything particularly attractive about him."
He looked like just another pretty face.
Could it be that he has so other plan in mind?
