Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At the General’s residence in the capital.

In the study, Tang Jinghong finished dealing with the military affairs and leaned against the back of the chair. His slender fingers gently tapped on his legs as if he was thinking.

Not only did he find out about the Shen family’s background, but he also found out what Madam Shen had done.

This Madam Shen relied on her eldest son as an official and often bullied people she couldn’t stand. Many people in the county city were angry at her but didn’t dare to say anything. Now, she actually targeted Qingzhi. Very good…

Madam Shen’s son was working in the Ministry of War. Coincidentally, the emperor felt that the Ministry of War was a little corrupted at the moment. He could volunteer to take over this matter and clear the Ministry of War.

He thought for a while more, then wrote a memorial to ask the emperor to hand over the matter of the Minister of War to him.

A few days ago, the matter of the Ministry of War selling official positions was exposed. The Minister of War was thrown into prison by the emperor and was now awaiting trial.

The Minister of War belonged to the Prime Minister’s faction. No one in the court dared to take over this matter, and the Prime Minister was trying his best to get him out of the prison.

Hundred Flowers Tower.

In the room, Zhang Ziyang slapped Xue Ying’s face. Five finger marks immediately appeared on Xue Ying’s snow-white and beautiful face. Tears streamed down her face.

“Trash, if you can’t even do such a small thing, what’s the use of having you?” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Zhang Ziyang was furious. He came, thinking that he would definitely hear good news, but in the end, this b*tch actually told him that she had failed and even exposed him.

“Young Master, that family is not simple. You should stop as soon as possible.” Xue Ying touched her stomach. If not for the child, she would not have said this.

She only had one goal now. She wanted Zhang Ziyang to bring her back to the Zhang family and give her a status.

“Not simple?” Zhang Ziyang roared. “How not simple can it be? It’s just a farmers’ family. You’re the one who’s incompetent. Don’t find excuses for yourself.”

Xue Ying felt aggrieved, but she couldn’t utter her grievances.

When Zhang Ziyang heard her crying, he shouted in frustration, “Stop crying. All you know is to cry all day long. Useless.”

Now that Xue Ying had to rely on Zhang Ziyang, she didn’t dare to retort. If Zhang Ziyang was unhappy and stopped caring about her, her path would be even more difficult.

Zhang Ziyang gulped down a mouthful of wine. After a moment of silence, he thought of a vicious plan…

There were two large jasmine-shaped lamps hanging on the left and right of the main door of the Hundred Flowers Tower. It was the symbol of brothels of this era.

A handsome young man in green walked out of the darkness with a white folding fan in his hand. He opened it with a whoosh and shook it gently while walking into the building.

At the door stood many girls who were trying to attract customers. They were flirtatious and making all kinds of seductive gestures. Their voices were coquettish. When they saw a man, they pounced on him and fought to bring him into the building…

“Wow, what a handsome young master. He looks unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?”

“Young Master, who do you want to choose tonight? Pick any one of us and we’ll definitely serve you comfortably.”

“Yes, you can have whatever position you want…”

A group of girls blocked the entrance. Seeing that the young man was new here, they didn’t dare to go overboard.

Chu Qingzhi was speechless.

Chu Qingzhi’s gaze swept across the group of girls and finally landed on the most charming girl.

This girl was dressed in red. She looked flamboyant and beautiful. Her waist was slender, and her figure was curvaceous. She was very well-endowed.

Chu Qingzhi pointed at the girl with her fan. “What’s your name?”

The girl who was called out sashayed towards Chu Qingzhi and bowed with a charming smile. “Greetings, Young Master. I’m Hong’er.”

Chu Qingzhi gently lifted Hong’er’s chin with her fan. Her movements were frivolous and her tone was teasing. “Hong’er, you’ll serve me tonight. If you serve me well, 1’11 reward you generously.”

Hong’er did not expect that Chu Qingzhi, who looked innocent, was actually an experienced brothel-goer. She bit her lip gently and threw a suggestive wink. “I will definitely do my best to satisfy you.”

“Thank you, Miss.” Chu Qingzhi reached out and ran her fingers through Hong’er’s slightly messy hair. This gentle action caused Hong’er’s heart to race.

Chu Qingzhi held Hong’er’s hand as they walked into the Hundred Flowers Building.

Hundred Flowers Tower was very luxuriously decorated. The beam was made of sandalwood, hung with lamps in crystal glass and pearls as the curtain.

There was a song and dance performance on the stage, and below the stage sat a crowd of customers.

The woman performing the song and dance was wearing revealing clothes. Her soft breasts were half exposed, and the side of her dress was slit to her thighs. She moved and jumped, looking very seductive.

An intoxicating fragrance with an aphrodisiac effect lingered in the air, making one’s blood flow faster and stimulating the most primitive desire.

A girl placed a plate of ice cream bar in front of a spectator. “Young Master, this is an ice cream bar. It’s very delicious. Try it.”

The spectator raised the ice cream bar and let the girl bite it first. Then, he teasingly bit the place where the girl bit.

Chu Qingzhi looked at the scene and thought to herself that the ice cream bar had actually been introduced to Hundred Flowers Tower.

She suddenly remembered that when she was looking at the accounts, she saw that Hundred Flowers Tower had ordered 3,000 ice cream bars every day.

She was a little curious about how Shen Ruyue and Chu Xuhua managed to make this deal. Neither of them seemed to be someone who would come to such a place.

When Hong’er saw Chu Qingzhi staring at the ice cream bar, she smiled and said, “Young Master, do you want to eat an ice cream bar too? Let’s go to the private room upstairs. I’ll get it for you.”

Chu Qingzhi followed Hong’er upstairs. “How much is the ice cream bar?”

Hong’er smiled. “Twelve copper coins.”

What a huge profit!

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself that the Hundred Flowers Tower was really cunning. They bought the ice cream bars from her at four copper coins each and sold them at three times the price. This business was too easy to do.

Hong’er led Chu Qingzhi upstairs and sat on the empty seat beside the railing.

“Young Master, please wait a moment. I’ll go get wine for you.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Take the best wine.”

Hong’er pursed her lips and smiled. “Yes.”

As soon as Hong’er left, Chu Qingzhi used her divine sense to scan the room behind her. Zhang Ziyang was inside.

She stood up and knocked on the door. “Is Miss Xue Ying here?”

In the room, Zhang Ziyang was still in a fury. When he heard the knock on the door, he immediately became even more irritable. “Your lover is here?”

Xue Ying found the voice unfamiliar. “I don’t know him.”

Zhang Ziyang went to open the door angrily. When he saw the young man with red lips and white teeth at the door, he felt as if he had felt a cool breeze in the hot summer. The anger in his chest instantly subsided and he put on a fawning expression.. “This young master is?”
