Chapter 411 Dally with Prostitutes

“Best that he drinks until he falls dead, best that he drinks until he develops ulcers in his stomach. How old is he now? Why did he refuse to listen to my explanation but went out to drink wine? Has he gone crazy?”

Lin Mengya moved away from the window to the side. While she muttered those heartless words, she got out a pill for dispelling the effects of alcohol from the medicine box she always carried with her.

Baishao chuckled to herself. Although she was an outsider, she could see that the prince occupied an important place in the princess’ heart and vice versa.

For whatever reason, they kept creating misunderstandings between themselves.

Were they not supposed to be very intelligent? Why did they appear to be more foolish than her, a servant?

“Master, quick, look at where that Zhao Fei is bringing the prince to!”

Lin Mengya reluctantly returned to the window side. Indeed, the two men were completely drunk. They had put their arms around each other’s shoulders and headed in another direction.

“I don’t care where he’s going. It has nothing to do with me.”

Lin Mengya was obviously upset. He could have come back after getting drunk, but it seemed that they were going to continue another round of drinking elsewhere. Once he woke up tomorrow from being so drunk, what if he developed a headache?

“Master, I’m not trying to drive a wedge between you. There are something that you’re unaware of having grown up in the mansion. In the past, the hooligans in our village would go into the city to drink wine, and after that, they would visit that, that kind of place.”

Baishao blushed. She could not bring herself to say it.

Lin Mengya did not get what Baishao meant, so she asked her saying, “What kind of place?”

Baishao stamped her feet in anxiety and whispered into Lin Mengya’s ear, saying, “It’s the courtesan’s quarters.”

Huh? Lin Mengya finally came to the realization that Baishao was talking about the brothel.

“I suppose Long Tianyu wouldn’t visit such a place.”

Long Tianyu could dabble with other vices, but he was never one to seek after women or a philanderer.

All of a sudden, something came to Lin Mengya’s mind. Back in the mansion, Boss Mei of North Tower had once visited the prince’s mansion.

Could she have misjudged Long Tianyu, that he was actually a womanizer?

Immediately, Lin Mengya’s expression turned dreadful.

She had always hated skirt-chasers most in her life. If Long Tianyu dared visit a brothel, she would not mind kicking him out of her house.

“Let’s follow them and see what are they’re up to.”

After some hesitation, Lin Mengya put the pill back into her shirt.

In the main hall of the inn, the people who were dining there had dispersed. As a result, Lin Mengya and Baishao, who were leaving the inn, did not attract any attention.

Qiu Yu, who happened to just emerge from his room, caught a glimpse of the two girls who were rushing out.

They seemed to have something urgent to attend to.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he frowned. What if the two girls met with some kind of danger?

Qiu Yu followed them from afar so he could protect them in secret.

Lin Mengya and Baishao did not have to go far before they spotted the two staggering men.

The girls followed the two men all the way to their destination. One look at the very happening place hanging with red lanterns, Lin Mengya almost exploded with rage.

Huichun House it was. They were visiting the brothel after all. It was no wonder that Lin Mengya’s senior sister in the medical school said that ninety percent of men were lewd!

Long Tianyu, you had really come here for entertainment!

Humph, once back home, she would write a bill of divorcement so she could divorce this guy who did not know how to behave.

“Don’t get angry yet. I can see that the prince had been dragged here by Zhao Fei. Let’s go in and see if we’ve wronged the prince, should we?”

Baishao, who was watching Lin Mengya closely, suggested cautiously.

Seeing how angry her master was, she regretted letting her master follow the men here.

If her master was overcome by rage, or if the couple became estranged because of this, she would be guilt-stricken.

“Did we wrong him? His legs are his own. Who would be able to force him to come here if he was unwilling? Let’s go, I don’t want to see this horrible man ever again!”

Burning with rage, Lin Mengya retraced her steps. Baishao had no choice but to trail behind her master.

The more she thought about it, the angrier Lin Mengya become. As she continued aimlessly, there was no avenue of relief for the misery in her heart.

“Scoundrel, bastard! I’m going to divorce once we return home! Ah!”

Overcame by rage, Lin Mengya kicked at the corner of a wall nearby. Immediately, a sharp pain shot up her foot and she was close to tears.

“My dear master, you may be angry, but don’t take it out on yourself!”

Baishao could not bear to see Lin Mengya being in pain. She quickly found a rock where they could sit down.

With tears in her eyes, Lin Mengya started massaging her foot. It was all Long Tianyu’s fault. Sooner or later, she would demand payment of this debt from Long Tianyu.

While she had blamed her carelessness entirely on Long Tianyu, Lin Mengya still could not help being angrier the more she thought about it.

Reconsidering the matter, Lin Mengya thought that while she was getting so angry here, that scoundrel was having a great time in Huichun House.

Instantly, Lin Mengya seemed to see the little devil in heart waving at her.

No, she was not going to go back to the inn and sulk all alone. She thought she rather sneak in there with Baishao and embarrass Long Tianyu in front of all the people.

This way, her anger would not go to waste.

Once she made up her mind, she was determined to let Long Tianyu know how wrong it was to fool around. At the thought, Lin Mengya actually smiled, being satisfied with her plan.

Baishao, whose heart broke for her master a moment ago, immediately developed an ominous presentiment.

Good heavens, what did her master have up her sleeves which she would use against the prince?

“Come over here. We shall do this in a moment.”

Lin Mengya waved Baishao over and whispered into her ears her plan.

“Ah? Are we going to do this? The prince would kill me once he finds out!”

The more Baishao listened to Lin Mengya, the deeper the frown on her forehead.

Finally, Baishao opened eyes wide. She could not imagine what the prince would do to her if he found out that she had participated in this plan. Would he break her neck in the heat of his anger?

“Rest assured. Anyways he is already drunk. Even if he sees us, let’s just deny all the way. Moreover, a drunk person’s words do not hold any weight. Given he is such a proud person, he won’t blow this up so that people know about it! As long as you and I keep quiet about this, not one would find out. Let’s go, let’s find a way to sneak in.”

Lin Mengya’s energy returned when she started to talk about how she would punish Long Tianyu.

Her foot no longer hurt and she was no longer angry. All she could think of now was how she would embarrass Long Tianyu.

They definitely should not enter through the main door of the brothel, otherwise, Long Tianyu and his companion would see them straight away.

The two girls tiptoed to the back door of Huichun House. However, they did not expect that there was someone standing guard at the back door.

“Master, I think we’d better go back to the inn. This place is not a good place for us to loiter around.”

Baishao was all ready to withdraw from the plan. She was not as bold as her master.

She used to hear the auntie from next door comment about brothel being a very dangerous place. Once a girl entered such a place, even if she came from a reputable family, she would be despised and spurned.

Although she was going in because she was following her master, from the impression she had since young, she felt a strong repulsion towards such places.

“What do you mean not a good place. Since Long Tianyu has entered it, why can’t we? This is a place of entertainment. If he could come and have fun here, why can’t I? Hush, stop talking.”

Lin Mengya did not think too much. She merely squatted by the corner of the wall and waited for a suitable opportunity.

Soon, a horse carriage arrived at the door of Huichun House quietly.

Lin Mengya thought it was some wealthy men coming to dally with prostitutes and did not want to be seen. Never would she expect to see the two people alighting from the horse carriage.

Why were these two girls here?

Lin Mengya furrowed her brows as she looked more closely at the two girls alighting from the horse carriage.

One of them was clad in a light yellow dress while the other was wearing a dusty pink dress.

Although the two girls had quickly entered the courtyard of Huichun House once they alighted from the horse carriage, even within such a short time, Lin Mengya was certain that they were Xiu and the other girl who was with her at the basement of the coffin home.

This was strange. Did Xiu not disappear into the little lane with dead-end this afternoon?

Why was she here now?

From their posture when they alighted from the horse carriage, Lin Mengya could see that their bodies were still stiff. Moreover, from Lin Mengya’s understanding of Xiu, she was certain that she did not come to this place on her own accord.

Could it be that…

Gradually, Lin Mengya started to form an idea of what was happening.

Maybe the appearance of Xiu was not a coincidence after all. Perhaps this was the place where White Dragon and Black Tiger carry out their trade!

In this case, Xiu could in danger.

Lin Mengya did not expect to encounter these things tonight.

Lin Mengya immediately changed her mind. Xiu used to trust her so completely. Furthermore, for whatever reason, Dongfang Xu had failed to rescue Xiu might well mean that even Dongfang Xu had fallen into the hands of White Dragon and Black Tiger.

Since she had run into them, this had to be the will of Heaven. She had to protect Xiu tonight.

There was no doubt that White Dragon, Black Tiger, and their men were ruthless and cruel. Lin Mengya would rather take the risk alone than to implicate Baishao.

She immediately started carefully instructing Baishao so that she could go back to the inn in a while.

“No way. What will you do after I leave, Master? You will be all alone.”

Baishao was not aware of Lin Mengya’s real intention. If she had known, she would have done everything to drag her master back to the inn with her.

However, a smiling Lin Mengya batted her eyelids and said, “Think about this, Long Tianyu can’t do anything to me, but he could kill you in a moment of rage. I may be able to protect you, but I don’t know martial arts after all. If I couldn’t come to your rescue in time, are you going to let me be guilt-ridden my entire life?”

Lin Mengya’s coercion and cajolery were rather effective.

Baishao instantly obeyed her. After she urged her master time and again to be careful to protect herself, she left for the inn, turning back to look at Lin Mengya a few times.

Once Baishao was out of her sight, Lin Mengya’s smile disappeared from her face.
