Chapter 206: Old Friend in the Brothel
Su Luo was confused. Who was this? Did she have friends in this place? How come she didn't know about this?
The girl took Su Luo to a small hall, closed the door, and chuckled, "I guess you have forgotten me, but I have been looking for you so hard, I didn't expect to meet you in the capital."
"Did you... recognize the wrong person?"
The girl shook her head and sat down. Hong Suluo poured a cup of tea and said, "My name is Zi Yan. I originally lived in Zihong Pavilion in Nanjing."
Su Luo remembered Su Jiang's words and could not drink tea or wine.
"You said you were in Nanjing?"
Zi Yan smiled and said, "Yes, think about it again. Once you were poisoned by some drug. Who sent you to the inn?"
"Ah! It's you!" Although she couldn't remember what you looked like, she knew it was true. Su Luo was still scared afterwards. She didn't know who she had entrusted the matter to at that time. If it was someone with bad intentions, she might have been sold to some illegal coal mine to dig coal.
Zi Yan picked up the teacup and drank it herself. "Isn't it me? Thanks to the young lady, I have been famous in Nanjing for a while. An old sister heard about it and invited me to come to Yihonglou."
"What does your popularity have to do with me?"
"Miss, do you still remember your dress? I don't know what was dyed on it at the time, but it smelled really good. I took your dress, and customers came because of the smell. Plus, I provided good service, so I became famous. Later, the smell gradually faded away, and I wanted to find you again to ask what it was, but I never found you."
Su Luo laughed awkwardly. He never thought that Wu Yong's invention could be used in this way.
"When I finish my work, I'll write a letter and ask someone to bring you two bottles."
Zi Yan was overjoyed, and then she covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Did that young master find you later?"
Su Luo was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I found it, thank you very much."
Zi Yan covered her mouth and laughed, "You gave me the money, why thank me? But I felt strange when I saw Xiang, so I took off the girl's clothes before leaving. I feel embarrassed, but I paid for the clothes and put them together with the girl's jade pendant..."
"Jade pendant?" Su Luo blinked, "Which jade pendant?"
"It's just a piece of... a jade pendant for the girl, don't you know it?" Zi Yan seemed a little embarrassed. Finally, seeing that Su Luo really couldn't remember, she had to say: "It's made very roughly, and it says 'Marriage is destined by heaven' on it."
Su Luo curled his lips, "Are you sure?"
Zi Yan said in surprise: "Didn't the girl see it? Oh, it must have been placed under the clothes, and the girl didn't notice it when she was getting dressed."
"What...what to wear?" Su Luo couldn't help but suspect that there was something wrong with her ears. She was clearly wearing clothes when she woke up that day.
Zi Yan looked at Su Luo suspiciously for a long time, "It's you, right? How come you don't know anything? I was a little anxious before I left that day, so I changed into a girl's clothes and left, and my clothes were placed on the chair next to the bed."
"Didn't you change it for me?" Su Luo stood up suddenly. She remembered that the clothes she wore that day were not hers from the inside out. If it wasn't Zi Yan who changed them...
Zi Yan thought about it and suddenly laughed, "That must have been changed by that young master."
Qin Huai? Su Luo's face flushed immediately. So... the strange feeling that had been bothering her for a long time... was also true? This time she was too embarrassed to see anyone.
"But speaking of it, Zi Yan really envied the girl. When the young man smelled the fragrance, he thought it was the girl. When he saw so many men surrounding me, he beat them up. His eyes turned red." Zi Yan wanted to laugh when she thought of the scene at that time. "In the end, I heard that the girl was fine, so I was relieved. But that posture at that time was really exciting."
"What? What's going on?" Is it all related to her?
"There was a young man, I didn't know who he was, and when he saw me he just asked me where the clothes I was wearing came from."
"And then...you told him?"
"Of course." Zi Yan said as a matter of course: "If I didn't say it, he would beat me too. He looked ferocious and violent, but he was still very attractive."
Su Luo felt... this person should not be Qin Huai. Didn't Qin Huai say that someone informed him that he was in that inn, not that he got there through a fight?
Fighting, jade pendant, hostility... and attractive? Another face vaguely appeared in Su Luo's mind.
"The man you saw was dressed in black?"
"Yes, very tall, with a narrow waist."
"Does he look contemptuous?"
"Well... he was so fierce at the time that I couldn't see any other expression on his face. He must have been very arrogant."
Su Luo fell onto the stool, her face flushed even redder than before, and she couldn't help asking, "You really didn't put clothes on me?"
Zi Yan giggled, her face full of ambiguity.
"Is it Brother Li?" Qin Qing, who had been silent all this time, spoke up. "Brother Li saw you naked? What else did you do?"
"I didn't do anything!" Facing Qin Qing's probing eyes, Su Luo was anxious, and the heat on her face could not be reduced. She had always thought that the vague impression of that day was an illusion, could it be all true?
"Don't be impatient," Qin Qing stared at Su Luo, "I just want to know if you can still be my second sister-in-law."
Su Luo suddenly woke up, slapped the table and stood up, "What are we here for!"
"What for?" Zi Yan was also curious.
"Looking for Wan Yangui, you know him, right?"
Zi Yan nodded, "He comes every day, and is very generous. He even plays with his servants."
Su Luo asked anxiously: "Which room is he in?"
"I'll go ask." Zi Yan stood up slowly and opened the door. She saw a heavily-dressed girl at the door raising her hand and about to knock on the door. The girl breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zi Yan, "Sister Zi Yan, you should go. It's the one who got her pants wet last time."
Zi Yan laughed, "He still dares to come? He has the will but not the courage. He hasn't been laughed at enough last time."
The girl swung her handkerchief impatiently, "Isn't this just following the master again? He doesn't have to spend any money."
"I'll be there in a minute." Zi Yan sent the girl away. Turning back, Su Luo's eyes sparkled and he looked at her, "Don't look for Wan Yangui anymore. Look for the one with wet pants."
Qin Qing had already felt uncomfortable when she heard Zi Yan talking to that girl. Now when she heard Su Luo mention it again, her face flushed, "We are here to look for my husband!"
"Wrong!" Su Luo bared his white teeth, his face full of smiles, "We are here to find Li Desheng."
