"Miss, it's all my fault. I should have stayed by the son-in-law's side!" Master Fang lowered his head and spoke in a low voice. His face was filled with remorse.
Liu Ruyi's expression did not change. After a moment of silence, she nodded and said, "I understand."
Unable to read the emotions in her heart, Master Fang and the others opened their mouths but did not say anything in the end.
When they left with a sigh, Liu Ruyi leaned against the door with her sword in her arms. She looked at the almost full moon in the sky and her pretty face was as cold as ever.
The young servant girl stood in the courtyard with red and swollen eyes and stared in the direction of the courtyard door. After a long time, she sniffed hard and murmured, "The son-in-law will definitely come back!"
After an unknown period of time, Liu Ruyi walked into the room and looked at the woman in the room. She said, "Sister, do you need me to go down the mountain …"
Liu Ruyi knew what she wanted to say and did not wait for her to finish. She waved her hand and said, "There's no need."
As she spoke, she looked a little absent-minded.
Even though the two of them were not husband and wife, they were husband and wife after all … At this moment, she could not help but feel a little disappointed.
Her initial plan was to let Li Yi go after a few days. But as time passed, her thoughts changed.
No matter what, she would have to get married in this lifetime. In the past, she had always been busy for the sake of living and had never thought about these things. But these days, that slightly thin figure, in a relaxed manner, had inadvertently carried this family on her shoulders.
She no longer had to worry about those things that she needed to worry about in the past.
Occasionally, she would think that if he was unwilling to leave and they could continue like this for the rest of their lives, it would not be unacceptable even if the act between the two of them became real.
But in the end, this was no longer possible …
…
…
The Jadeite Courtyard. The name of this courtyard sounded indecent.
Just from the name, one could tell that this was probably the same as Yi Hong Courtyard and Kuai Huo Lou. Li Yi suspected that tonight was not just a simple meal.
This young prince's way of doing things was completely different from what Li Yi had imagined. He always went out alone without a few lackeys. It was a great waste of resources.
But thinking of the scene on the street in the afternoon, Li Yi immediately understood.
On the surface, he was alone. Who knew how many people were secretly protecting him.
An ordinary passerby or an inconspicuous peddler on the street could turn into the ultimate bodyguard in an instant.
"Remember, after we go in, don't call me young prince. Just call me 'Brother Li'." When they walked to the Jadeite Courtyard, the young prince named Li Xuan suddenly put his arm around Li Yi 'shoulder and said in a low voice.
Li Yi nod. He was not surprised at all.
People who wandered around in Jianghu used an alternate name to save their lives. When they visited a brothel, they still used the title of Little Prince. If this was spread out, their Prince's father would probably break their legs.
"By the way, I still don't know this brother's name," Li Xuan suddenly asked after taking two steps.
"Li Yi." Li Yi looked around curiously and whispered.
After living for two lifetimes, this was the first time he had visited a brothel. He was a little excited …
"Brother, your surname is also Li. What a coincidence!" Li Xuan said in surprise.
Although this guy was quite handsome, Li Yi still didn't want to have any fate with him. As soon as the two of them stepped into the Jade Courtyard, a woman in her thirties with heavy makeup immediately greeted them. She squeezed out a smile and said, "Hey, isn't this Li? You haven't been here for a long time!"
Li Yi was stunned for a moment before he realized that the madam wasn't talking about him.
Then, he looked at Li Xuan with a surprised expression. So this guy was actually a regular here …
At this time, Li Yi couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. Was this guy really a young lord?
"Don't say anything unnecessary. Where is Miss Zui Mo? Hurry up and call her out!" Li Xuan waved his hand and threw her a silver ingot. He said impatiently.
Li Yi turned to look at him. Didn't he say that he would treat her to a meal?
How did it become a brothel to sleep with girls!
His chastity of two lifetimes couldn't be casually given away here.
If this guy made any unhealthy suggestions later, he must refuse without hesitation.
The madam caught the silver and was slightly happy. But then she said with a troubled expression, "Li Li, you know that Zui Mo is our top artist here. It's up to her whether she sees guests or not. I can't force her …"
Li Xuan frowned when he heard this. He hated people who didn't do anything after receiving the silver.
Seeing this, the madam hurriedly changed the topic and said, "However, Zui Mo's program is about to start. Why don't I ask her after her program is over?"
Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I just want her to sing a song to liven things up. Since she is going on stage in a while, it will save me the trouble."
The madam muttered in her heart. Every time this Li came to the Jade Courtyard, he didn't look for a girl. He just wanted to listen to Zui Mo sing. It was really strange.
However, she didn't dare to say this out loud. After all, this was her financial backer. A thick smile immediately appeared on her face, and she called out, "Gentlemen, please follow me to the private room. Drunken Mo will be here soon!"
The private room that the madam mentioned was a relatively spacious room. The floor was covered with a clean carpet, and there was a space in the middle separated by a curtain. After the madam led Li Yi and Zui Mo to sit down, she excused herself and went to work.
In front of the two of them was a long, short table. There were many fruits and all sorts of dishes on it. Li Xuan sat cross-legged on the table. He casually picked up a grape from the table and popped it into his mouth. He glanced at Li Yi and said somewhat smugly, "What? You've never been to a place like this before, right?"
Li Yi nodded when he heard this. It was indeed the first time he had been to such a place.
Firstly, he had no money. He couldn't afford such a place at all. Secondly, he didn't have the opportunity. He couldn't imagine what would happen if Xiao Huan and Sister Ruyi knew that he visited a brothel.
After all, he was a man with a family …
Following Li Xuan's example, Li Yi sat down cross-legged and looked around. There were quite a few silhouettes at the tables around the room. At that moment, they were all quietly chatting with the people beside them. As Li Yi's gaze swept past the door, he suddenly saw a few silhouettes walk in.
He could only see that those people were all women, walking slowly into the gauze tent.
"Miss Zui Mo is here."
There was a small noise around. Not long after, when music came from the gauze tent, the slightly noisy crowd all shut their mouths.
Li Yi also looked with interest at the few graceful figures who had begun to dance in the gauze tent. After a moment, a pleasant voice floated out from the gauze tent.
"Delicate clouds play tricks, flying stars spread hatred, the silver river crosses in the dark … the golden wind and jade dew meet, surpassing countless things in the world …"
When he heard this, Li Yi's body shook violently, and an expression of extreme shock appeared on his face.
