The Moon Embracing Lake had just entered the most bustling time of the day. On the rippling lake, hundreds of pleasure boats, big and small, were dotted with stars. The pleasant sound of music and the fragrance of the beauties made people who passed by three li away intoxicated.
Ning Shu changed into men's clothing and opened the flying curtain. She entered the pleasure boat and followed the directions of the girls. She went to the second floor and found the procuress in charge of the pleasure boat.
The procuress, who was dressed in red and green, cast a sidelong glance at her: "Who are you looking for?"
Ning Shu smiled and cupped her hands: "Excuse me, is Miss Niinu here?"
"Don't ask, she's dead!" When the procuress heard this, she turned and left.
When Ning Shu saw that this procuress was really a big shot, she quickly took out a silver ingot from her purse and stuffed it over with a smile. "Mother, you don't know. I came from Jinzhou to admire Miss Nian Nu's fragrant name. Mother, please be sure to tell me where Miss is now."
Money makes the devil turn millstones, this was an unchanging truth. The procuress's attitude immediately changed when she saw the silver ingot in her hand. Although she was still not happy, she was finally willing to speak: "I don't know if she's dead or not, but in my heart, she's no different than dead."
"Half a month ago, that damned girl asked me for leave. She said she was going out to meet a very important person and would be back in two hours. According to the rules, how can a girl on the boat disembark at will? But she begged me that she came to the capital to find this person. If she didn't see him, she might as well be dead. I thought she was really pitiful and she gave me her family's heirloom as collateral. My heart softened and I allowed her to go. I didn't expect that as soon as she got off the boat, she abandoned the maid I sent to keep an eye on her. She hasn't returned yet. Tell me, if she didn't run away, what else could it be? "
The procuress was full of anger when she thought about it: "How much money did I spend to create such a big scene for her? I haven't even gotten my money back yet, but she ran away with a wild man! Don't let me catch her, otherwise I will skin her alive! "
Half a month ago, it was the night of the Cloud Leaf's accident.
Such a coincidence?
Ning Shu continued to ask, "You didn't look for it?"
The procuress rolled her eyes: "That wretched girl came from Qingzhou, which is more than a thousand miles away from the capital. Moreover, she went to meet that wild man. I don't know which corner she is hiding in. Where can I find her? I wish I had that ability. "
After pondering for a while, Ning Shu smiled apologetically and said, "I won't hide it from Mama. Actually, I am a servant of the Jiang fu. Half a month ago, my family's Fourth Young Master and Yun family's Young Master visited Miss Niinu's place. Unexpectedly, when they returned, their entire bodies were sore, as if they had been beaten by someone. But my Young Master was so drunk that he couldn't remember anything. He has been brooding over it for the past half a month, so he sent us here to ask who was the one who humiliated him that night. "
"Oh, so that's what you want to ask. That night's incident didn't affect him at all. Your young master had already disembarked from the ship. It has nothing to do with me. "
Ning Shu sighed and anxiously said, "What incident? Can Mama casually tell us about it? Otherwise, we won't be able to find out anything. We really won't be able to report back to Young Master."
Another ingot of silver was stuffed into the procuress's palm.
The procuress saw that her attitude was sincere, and that she was thin and weak, like a delicate and pitiful little girl, so she kindly said, "Alright, alright. Who told Mama to be so kind-hearted that I can't bear to see people suffer. I'll tell you about it.
That night, nearly a hundred scholars gathered in front of my pleasure boat to compete in poetry. The final winner was Niinu's guest that night. That situation was truly lively! In my opinion, several of the Young Masters' poems that night were very good. Among them, there was no lack of people who spent lavishly. But for some reason, Niinu chose the Yun family's Young Master as the winner. That girl has always been willful. I had no way to discipline her, so I could only let her be.
Your young master followed the Yun family's Young Master onto the boat, but Niinu's rule only allowed one person to meet. Thus, after listening to the song, your young master disembarked first. The Yun family's Young Master was also a strange person. When Young Master Jiang disembarked, he also wanted to disembark. He didn't want to meet Niinu. Just as the Yun family's Young Master was about to leave, a rich young master dressed in gold and silver suddenly rushed over with seven or eight thugs. He insisted on meeting Niinu and wanted to take her away. That attitude was truly frightening. I've seen many rich playboys in the brothel, but I've never seen such a bold and unreasonable one. Seeing that Niinu was about to be taken away, the Yun family's Young Master blocked their way. I thought to myself, it's over. What use could such a weak scholar be? I didn't expect that the Yun family's Young Master to have such a strong aura even though he looked weak. His words made the rich young master speechless, causing him to lose face. The rich young master left the boat in shame and anger. Before he left, he said that he would let the Yun family's Young Master know how to write the word 'death'. "
The procuress was beaming with joy as she spoke. In the end, she suddenly remembered the rumor that the Yun family's Young Master was not well recently. Her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly said, "Could the matter of the Yun family's Young Master be related to that rich young master? Oh my god! If you want to find him, go find Niinu. This has nothing to do with this old woman! "
The procuress hurriedly turned to run. Ning Shu hurriedly went forward and smiled apologetically, "Mother, don't be afraid. Every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor. It definitely won't be blamed on you. I only have one last question. Mother, do you remember what the rich young master looked like or what characteristics he had? "
A bulging pouch was presented in front of her.
The procuress was extremely conflicted. In the end, she clenched her teeth and hugged the pouch tightly. Then, she whispered in Ning Shu's ear, "I don't remember what he looked like. I only remember that he had a small red mole on the tip of his nose."
