If Qin Xiaoyao could get Yun Niang’s help, it would be much smoother for her to buy property, rent a shop, do business, or procure or hire people to work. “But this won’t do!” the young girl immediately said.
Her eyes suddenly flickered.
“Why don’t I help you, Master?” she said.
Qin Xiaoyao looked at the young girl.
“Hehe! Forget it. 1 have my own plans,” she said with a smile.
She didn’t dare to rely on the young girl due to her unpredictable nature. After all, Qin Xiaoyao was the one forking out the money. And she was quite poor…
Perhaps, she still had to contact Cloud Scent Court after all.
As she thought of this, Qin Xiaoyao began formulating a plan in her mind.
Thus, the next day, after returning from the army camp, Qin Xiaoyao brought her clingy disciple to Cloud Scent Court.
In contrast to Qin Xiaoyao’s calm demeanor, Princess Xiangyang was much more curious.
She looked here and there and found the place very novel.
She had only heard of Cloud Scent Court before, but she had never come in to have fun.
She didn’t know that it was so lively here.
After the two of them entered Cloud Scent Court, they were taken to a private room by the brothel’s male attendant.
A while later, Yun Niang pushed the door open and entered.
“My greetings to you, Lord Marquis. 1 have kept you waiting!” As soon as she entered, Yun Niang bowed.
When she noticed that there was a young girl dressed as a man standing behind Qin Xiaoyao and that young girl was staring straight at her, Yun Niang gave her a charming smile.
Princess Xiangyang blushed at once.
This was the first time she realized how seductive a woman could be.
“We just arrived. We didn’t wait long,” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.
“I came here this time to talk to you about what we discussed previously,” Qin Xiaoyao quickly got to the main topic.
Yun Niang instantly became serious.
She looked at Princess Xiangyang again.
Qin Xiaoyao followed Yun Niang’s gaze and looked at Princess Xiangyang as well.
“This is my disciple. She won’t reveal our matter to the outside world.”
Princess Xiangyang nodded quickly.
Only then did Yun Niang relax.
After that, she asked, “Then 1 wonder if Lord Marquis is willing to help?”
“Mm-hmm.” Qin Xiaoyao nodded.
“However, 1 also have some matters that require Yun Niang’s help,” she continued.
Yun Niang immediately broke into a smile.
“No problem. If Lord Marquis has anything that needs my help, feel free to give me your instructions.”
Qin Xiaoyao smiled. “No rush.
“Let’s deal with Young Master Liu’s matter first.”
Yun Niang nodded.
“Lord Marquis, please wait here for a while,” she continued.
Qin Xiaoyao indicated her consent.
Only then did Yun Niang leave the room.
After she left and closed the door, Princess Xiangyang went to Qin Xiaoyao’s side.
“Master, that girl is really beautiful. She certainly lives up to the reputation of being the Top Courtesan of Cloud Scent Court.
“Master, how did you get to know her? Also, she wants your help?”
Qin Xiaoyao smiled and glanced at Princess Xiangyang.
“We got to know each other by chance.
“As for helping her, 1 guess so…”
“What kind of help?” Princess Xiangyang was instantly interested.
Qin Xiaoyao did not give any details and only said, “You’ll know later.”
Princess Xiangyang looked disappointed, but she did not ask further.
Anyway, she would know later. She would wait.
After a while, Yun Niang returned.
She was carrying a box in her arms and she brought someone behind her.
It was Liu Ling.
When Princess Xiangyang saw Liu Ling, her eyes almost popped out.
She thought that Yun Niang was already attractive enough. She didn’t expect that there was someone more attractive than Yun Niang. And it was a man.
“Greetings, Lord Marquis.” After Liu Ling entered, he quickly bowed to Qin Xiaoyao.
When he realized that Princess Xiangyang was staring at him, an awkward look flashed across his face, but he did not look at her anymore.
“No need for formalities,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.
Following that, she looked at Yun Niang.
Yun Niang then handed the box in her hand to Qin Xiaoyao.
“The things inside are worth 10,000 taels. 2000 taels is a gift of thanks to you, Lord Marquis. The remaining sum of 8000 taels is to redeem my younger brother. 1’11 have to trouble you, Lord Marquis.”
As soon as she said this, Princess Xiangyang immediately withdrew her gaze from Liu Ling and turned to look at Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t even look at the girl and reached out to take the box.
Then, she opened the box and checked the contents.
Most of the things in the box were silver notes, but there were also some gold ingots. The box was very full.
“You feel at ease when you simply hand these items to me like that?” After confirming that the sum was correct, Qin Xiaoyao smiled and looked at Yun Niang.
Liu Ling’s net worth was actually eight thousand taels, which was beyond her expectations.
Furthermore, this girl Yun Niang was really amazing.
She could simply produce 10,000 taels of silver at the drop of a hat.
One should remember that when Qin Xiaoyao made such a great contribution, the Emperor only rewarded her with 1000 taels of gold, which was equivalent to 10,000 taels of silver.
“Of course. That’s because I trust you, Lord Marquis,” Yun Niang replied with a smile.
“But 1 don’t trust myself,” Qin Xiaoyao said.
“How about this? You go and invite the brothel madame over now. 1’11 redeem Young Master Liu’s freedom right now.
“The matter will be settled today. That way, both of us will be at ease.”
Yun Niang was stunned.
Then, her face lit up with joy.
“Thank you, Lord Marquis!” She hurriedly bowed and thanked Qin Xiaoyao.
“You’re welcome. It’s only right for me to do this after accepting your thank-you gift.”
“Lord Marquis, please wait here for a moment. I will be back soon!” Yun Niang hurriedly said.
“Alright.” Qin Xiaoyao answered.
Then, Yun Niang left again.
After Yun Niang left, Princess Xiangyang went to Qin Xiaoyao’s side again.
From time to time, she would secretly sneak a peek at Liu Ling before looking at Qin Xiaoyao again.
She was speculating what her master’s plan was.
Master was trying to redeem the beautiful man opposite her.
Surely… it couldn’t be what she was thinking?
Didn’t Master already have a husband?
Furthermore, the reason she left her hometown and went to the battlefield was to look for her husband.
Well… alright. This man was indeed good-looking.
It would be normal for her master to be tempted when she saw him…
Princess Xiangyang was still indulging in her wild thoughts when Yun Niang brought in the brothel madame.
The brothel madame had met Qin Xiaoyao before, so she immediately bowed to her after entering.
As she had already found out why Qin Xiaoyao was looking for her on her way up, the brothel madame’s expression was a little awkward the moment she entered the room.
“Lord Marquis, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. It’s just that… the Empress’s brother has already reserved Liu Ling.
“If I give him to you. I’m afraid I won’t be able to explain to the Empress’s brother.
“How about this? Other than Liu Ling, we have other male escorts in Cloud Scent Court. You can choose whichever one you like. I will send them directly to your residence,” the brothel madame said with a fawning expression.
Just as she could not afford to offend Empress Jia’s brother, she could not afford to offend this person either.
If sacrificing a male escort could solve this problem, she was willing to do it, and she wouldn’t mind losing some money in the process.
When Princess Xiangyang heard the brothel madame mention Empress Jia’s brother, she was shocked.
In the Great Jin State, other than her uncle who was Empress Jia’s brother, there shouldn’t be anyone else, right?
Did this mean that her uncle had set his eyes on the beautiful man opposite her?
To think that her uncle had homosexual tendencies!
Well, she had heard about her uncle’s homosexual tendencies.
However, she thought that it was just a rumor.
So, that rumor was actually true?
“But I’m not interested in the other male escorts,” Qin Xiaoyao said icily..
