"Once the wealth is spent, it can still come back," Mei Shuang said as she removed the veil from her face and exhaled.
Lin Tian'er sighed, "If I had known you would have to spend money to find a stranger for this, it would have been better if Lin Yuan were here..."
"......"
Mei Shuang couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. "What are you thinking? It's already this time, and you're still trying to find a bargain for your brother."
Within ten minutes, the door was pushed open, and Madam entered with a sway of her hips, smiling brightly while pretending to wipe sweat with a handkerchief. "Sister, consider yourself lucky. After much persuasion, this matter has been settled. As long as you serve well tonight, the guest said... Gah!"
Mei Shuang's expression darkened as she listened to the nonsense.
She sneered, "Right now, I am your god. Do you really think I am one of your Miaochun Tower people? How many times have you seen such a deal?"
Madam was taken aback; this was not someone to be trifled with. She quickly smiled apologetically and then told Mei Shuang to go out, turn left, go down the first staircase, and then turn right at the corridor to the second room on the east side.
"Make sure not to go wrong," Madam advised as she walked ahead. "You can go anytime; I won't disturb you."
...
Madam happily went downstairs, feeling quite excited; today was indeed a big profit.
Just as she was about to head to the backyard to rest, a cold voice came from behind her, "Don't move!"
Immediately, her mouth was covered, and a flash of bright light startled Madam so much that she shivered all over. What the hell is going on?
However, Madam had seen enough of the world; despite her shock, she quickly composed herself and nodded in agreement.
"Go tell that woman from earlier to change her location..." the person behind instructed.
"Which place should we change to?"
Before she finished speaking, a silver note appeared in front of her. The Madam glanced at the number on the note—ten thousand taels?
So, this woman is quite popular tonight, offering such a high price. It seems like a win-win situation! Besides, what can't be done with this amount? That woman just wants to find a man; it doesn't matter who she sleeps with.
She looked at the silver note hesitantly and said, "But someone has already made a reservation..."
"Do you want your life or the money?"
Feeling a sudden chill around her neck, the Madam hurriedly replied, "I want both... I'll arrange it right away. Oh, by the way..."
She quickly tucked the silver note into her sleeve and asked seriously, "Although you're offering a lot of money, this girl is still a virgin and has high standards. You don't have any issues on your side, do you? If she refuses later and comes back to me, that would be difficult for me..."
The person who had taken the Madam hostage paused for a moment and impatiently replied, "No."
Alright then, the Madam felt relieved. Although this line of work is not respectable, one must maintain professional ethics. Moreover, she was quite impressed with herself for coming up with a win-win solution in such a short time.
Mei Shuang had just finished discussing with Lin Tian'er and was about to head over when the door was pushed open.
The Madam entered with a smile, pulling Mei Shuang aside and whispering, "Sister, I'm sorry for the mix-up earlier..."
Mei Shuang tensed up immediately; everything was ready except for the final piece. She hoped nothing else would go wrong. "What happened?"
"The location has changed. They said since it's your first time, we should find the best place. Just go down the stairs and turn left..." she whispered in Mei Shuang's ear.
A strong scent of perfume made Mei Shuang sneeze loudly. She rubbed her nose and stepped back a few paces. "Alright, got it."
Before leaving, Mei Shuang reminded Lin Tian'er, "Wait for me here. I'll be back as soon as I'm done. Don't wander off."
Following Madam's guidance, the veiled Mei Shuang successfully found the room.
Standing at the door, she felt a mix of anxiety and anticipation. She adjusted her veil, took a few deep breaths, and cautiously surveyed her surroundings.
The soft, hazy glow of the pink silk lanterns illuminated the area, where bamboo groves provided cover. A small bridge arched over a flowing stream, surrounded by vibrant flowers, creating a stark contrast to the lively front courtyard.
It seemed that spending two thousand taels of silver was not in vain; Mei Shuang immediately felt a flicker of admiration for the man she had yet to meet. He had good taste to choose such a tranquil spot amidst the chaos.
Mei Shuang raised her hand and gently knocked on the door, but no one responded.
She knocked again, still met with silence.
No one?
Deciding to push the door open, she was momentarily dazzled by the sight before her.
The beams were made of cloud-top sandalwood, crystal and jade served as lamps, and pearls hung as curtains. Beside a wide bed made of agarwood was a delicate canopy adorned with embroidered begonia flowers and silver threads that shimmered like dew in the wind, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The bed was furnished with a jade-scented pillow, soft silk bedding, and layered with exquisite quilts.
Wow, such extravagant decor in this place of entertainment? It rivaled a modern presidential suite.
Especially with the faint scent of sandalwood lingering in the air, it brought a sense of comfort and delight.
Well then, conducting business in such an environment should be quite pleasant. Moreover, judging by this place, it was clear that Madam adhered to certain standards; the person she selected should be quite suitable.
Despite this, her inner discomfort was still evident.
The door was gently pushed open, and Mei Shuang thought the main figure had arrived. Her heart raced as she turned around, only to find a young attendant from Miaochun Tower who informed her that she should bathe first and that the person assigned to her would arrive shortly.
Mei Shuang wanted to explode in anger. She was here as a customer, yet the other party expected her to wait? However, upon reflection, given her current identity, the person outside was indeed the guest she needed to serve diligently.
As she grumbled to herself, she followed the attendant around the Rosewood screen and was astonished to discover a hidden paradise behind it. The spacious bathroom was filled with steam; under the soft, hazy wall lights, the white jade bathtub shimmered with clear water, floating flower petals on the surface.
Looking at all this, Mei Shuang could only say that the Madam's service was exceptional. The Miaochun Tower's thriving business certainly had its merits. How could a presidential suite combined with five-star service not be popular?
The attendant carefully checked whether all the facilities were in place and then prepared tea according to Mei Shuang's instructions before leaving.
Mei Shuang pondered whether to take her medicine first or have a bath.
After weighing her options, she decided to bathe first. Taking a bath before medication would give her an hour of time, preventing her from rushing through preparations.
After soaking for about fifteen minutes and washing away her fatigue and dust, Mei Shuang felt refreshed.
As she stood up from the tub with satisfaction, she clearly saw a figure standing at the door through the Pearl Curtain.
What? When did he come in? He didn't even announce himself; how rude!
Mei Shuang thought unhappily, but after taking a closer look at the silhouette facing outward with hands behind his back, her anger subsided somewhat. His figure was decent enough; he wasn't one of those overweight types that turned her stomach. Although she needed to solve her problem urgently, it wasn't to the point of being desperate. There were plenty of men around.
Perhaps to create an ambiguous atmosphere, the candlelight in the room was dim, and since the man stood at a distance, she couldn't see his face clearly.
Mei Shuang quickly got up and wrapped herself in a large bath towel to cover herself before mustering her courage and clearing her throat to greet him. "Hi, um... could you please wait a moment?"
The person outside seemed very patient and did not rush her; evidently, he had good manners.
Outside, the sound of the night watch echoed clearly—it was obvious that it was already past midnight.
This clear sound was like a thunderclap to Mei Shuang. She was startled; she had to resolve everything before midnight. It seemed there wasn't much time left. Without hesitation, she decided to get down to business quickly.
The first step is to take that damn medicine.
She picked up her clothes and reached into the wide sleeves.
As she searched through her pockets, Mei Shuang suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, her mind going blank with a loud "bang."
What the hell, it was still there when I left the palace.
Stay calm, keep calm.
It wasn't until Mei Shuang trembled and searched three times without finding anything that her face turned completely pale.
Watching Mei Shuang nervously rummage through her clothes inside, then freeze in place as if struck by a Binding Technique, the man outside couldn't hold back any longer. "What's wrong?"
Mei Shuang didn't hear him at all; beads of sweat began to trickle down her forehead as she desperately recalled everything from when she came here—coming out from the Empress Dowager's place, using her waist token to leave the palace, getting into the carriage, and bumping along the way. Could it be that I dropped it in the carriage?
Mei Shuang felt faint at that moment; where could she find that carriage now?
With a pale face, she shakily emerged from the bathroom, ignoring the man in front of her. The first thing she wanted to do was rush out the door; maybe it was with Lin Tian'er. But in the next moment, she stopped herself; the medicine had always been with her.
"Where are you going?" The man she tried to bypass furrowed his brow and asked.
"I'm sorry, but tonight might not work..." Mei Shuang felt deflated as if sentenced to death; without the medicine, everything was pointless.
The man behind her gazed intently at the dazed Mei Shuang, walked over, and opened his palm. "Looking for this?"
Mei Shuang turned her head to see a small white pill quietly lying in his palm.
Seeing that pill nearly brought tears to Mei Shuang's eyes.
She suddenly woke up, her expression frozen in shock as she raised her gaze. Her cold, emotionless eyes met the man before her, and she fell back onto the ground.
...
Inside the tent, Mei Shuang lay on the bed, her body temperature rising sharply, her gaze becoming hazy.
There was no helping it; the medicine was that powerful. Although it wouldn't pose an immediate threat to her life, she had taken it a bit late after searching for it, and now her consciousness was essentially out of control.
From the moment she first saw Xiao Luo until her body began to show signs of arousal, only a few minutes had passed. In that brief time, Mei Shuang's body underwent a significant transformation.
When Xiao Luo picked her up and placed her on the bed, Mei Shuang clutched tightly at his brocade robe. As the heat washed over her, she lost all control and let out a soft moan from her throat, which sounded utterly intoxicating.
Xiao Luo hadn't expected Mei Shuang to react so quickly. When he heard the Empress Dowager say that Mei Shuang was worried about infecting him and wanted to handle it herself, he thought this woman was quite responsible. However, he truly had no idea how she planned to resolve the situation.
Having followed her all this way, he never imagined that Mei Shuang had come here intending to find a stranger to solve her problem.
