Chapter 149: Don't hang yourself on a tree
Wen Yuting sat on the grass and watched Ji Chen training over there with a smile on his face.
Yuan Liu beside him wondered, "Why does it seem like General Ji is so happy today? I heard the sound of his fists breaking through the air right here."
"It'll be fine in a while."
"By the way, Master, I heard that the youngest son of the Taifu family has recently fallen in love with a girl in a brothel."
"The doctor's youngest son, is he this little brother Han Xiran?"
"Yes, it's this little brother."
When Wen Yu heard this, she thought of the funny things that happened before and couldn't help laughing.
"This guy likes anyone who catches his eye."
"Maybe. Last time I heard that she fell in love with a scholar, the scholar's husband reported it to the tutor's house."
The capital's prosperous streets were bustling with people carrying baskets to buy things, scholars holding fans or books, and wealthy young men in gorgeous clothes with servants.
“Gee! Gee! Everyone in front, get out of the way!!”
Seeing the galloping horses coming, they were afraid of being trampled underfoot and made way for them.
The person riding the reddish-brown horse was dressed in red, with a whip at his waist, and a look of anger on his pretty face.
She walked for a distance and saw a few guards on horseback running past.
As this group of people walked by, people on the street began to talk about it.
The common people didn't know the others and just watched the fun, said a few words and said it was really impressive, then left it alone.
As for those who were wealthy or held high positions, some of them knew the girl in red.
A man in purple clothes opened the fan in his hand and fanned himself, saying in a pretentious manner, "I don't know what this girl is about. She is in such a hurry."
The person next to him became interested, "Brother Wei, do you know the girl just now?"
"I was fortunate enough to meet her at Fang Yaxuan and learned that she was Duan Xueer, the second young lady of the Zuo Xiangfu."
"Wow! The second young lady of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion. If it weren't for Brother Wei, I wouldn't have known that I had ever seen the second young lady of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion in my life."
Duan Xueer rode her horse directly to the entrance of the hottest brothel nearby and stopped.
The reins were pulled quickly, and the horse's two front legs kicked up high and then fell down.
She got off the horse swiftly and threw the reins to the servant who came forward to ask questions.
One person was holding the horse, at a loss as to what to do, while another person hurried to stop Duan Xueer.
"I don't know what you want, but this is not a place for young ladies to enter."
"I insist on going in. Can you stop me?"
When the servant saw Duan Xueer's hand touching the whip at her waist, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Seeing that the girl's clothes were made of scattered flowered silk fabric, one could tell that she was a high-ranking official from the Tianzhu Street area.
He began to admit his fear, "I don't dare."
If he doesn't do this job well, he might lose it. If he offends this boss, he might lose his life at any time.
Duan Xueer stepped into the threshold of the brothel, swung the whip at her waist, and hit the carved and hollow door.
The carvings on the gate are crumbling.
A group of men sitting in the lobby who were watching people dancing in the stands were startled, and some of them started cursing before they even turned around.
Some of them just turned their heads and shut up when they saw Duan Xueer's outfit. Some people had seen Duan Xueer before, but didn't dare to speak.
A man sitting in the front left, wearing dark blue clothes and much thinner than the man next to him, shuddered when he heard the sound of the whip.
These were the words of the two people next to him, which made him feel cold. "Why is Duan Xueer here? Who is she here to catch?"
The other covered his face with a fan. "Who knows what she is doing here, but I have to go. If she sees me, she must tell my wife at home."
"Hey, Brother Zhao, wait for me. The Oiran can't show up today. Come back another day."
The person on the left just went to the toilet and hasn't come out yet. After the two people on the right left, there was no one around him.
"Han Xiaosi, get out here!"
The person sitting in the front left lowered his head even lower, hoping that the chair could block his own figure.
The person Duan Xueer wanted did not come out, but the madam of the brothel did come out.
"Miss Duan Er is here. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I wonder what is the matter with her coming here?"
"Find someone!"
Duan Xueer had already seen Han Xiran. Did he think that he wouldn't be able to see him if he lowered his head?
He walked over and hit him at his feet with a whip.
"Hey!"
Before he could try to make an excuse, Duan Xueer had already twisted his ear.
"Ouch! Auntie, be gentle."
Duan Xueer ruthlessly grabbed Han Xiran's ear and dragged her out of the brothel.
The madam followed him out, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
The guards led by Duan Xueer stopped the madam and said, "Please don't bother my Second Miss with the compensation."
"Hey, good."
The madam immediately beamed.
When they got outside, Duan Xueer let go of Han Xiran's ear, grabbed his arm and took him to the alley next to her.
On both sides of the alley were the guards she brought with her, and there were only two of them in the place.
Duan Xueer poured the water from the cup that she had just taken from the guard onto Han Xiran.
Han Xiran was stunned by the splash and wiped the water off his face. Before he could ask any questions, a handkerchief covered his face.
"Wipe that off your face."
Han Xiran immediately understood why Duan Xueer splashed water at him.
Take your handkerchiefs and wipe everything off your faces.
When the handkerchief was removed, the red mole between his eyebrows was clearly visible.
Duan Xueer leaned against the wall and said in confusion, "I really don't understand you. Tell me how many suitors you have changed in this year. The first two times it was okay to say it was a man, and the last time it was a boy, so that's fine!"
Forget it, he said this with gritted teeth.
"This time it's a woman! And she's from a brothel! You seem to be getting less and less valuable."
Han Xiran acted as if he was not the one talking about her, and his fingers were fingering the embroidery on the handkerchief.
Not caring, but a little discouraged, he said, "This is it, they didn't agree to me?"
Duan Xueer walked to the opposite side of him and twisted his face, "Are you too obsessed with the guy in the western suburbs training ground?"
Han Xiran paused, "That one is indeed the one I like the most, but he asked General Ji to tell me that he doesn't like it anymore, so what else can I do?"
"What else can I do? Just do it like this!"
"It's a pity that I didn't catch up with him or kiss him, but if he doesn't go back home, I won't hang myself on him. There are so many handsome and beautiful people waiting for me."
Duan Xueer really couldn't understand what Han Xiran was thinking. She was so mad at him that she kicked him on the leg and left.
