  Chapter 12: The Cost of the Chapter (12 points)

  Zhu Yuhuan walked up to Lan Qixiang, seeing that her eyes were misty with unshed tears, and her expression was complex as she looked at him. It didn't seem like she had come to capture him. After locking gazes with him, she actually lowered her head in embarrassment.

  Zhu Yuhuan was extremely strange, staring at her with an odd expression, but his footsteps didn't stop. He wasn't quite clear what Lan Zixing meant either, or maybe she had come to thank him? Thank him for sending her that day? However, Zhu Yuhuan hadn't intended to accept her thanks at all; he still regretted listening to Zhu Yuheng say that Lan Zixing had wronged Chu Keqi in front of the Empress after all.

  Like this, one was shy and hung her head, the other glared with anger, causing the maidservants behind them to be flustered and confused, unable to tell who was the real mistress of the manor and who was sneaking in unnoticed.

  Like this, with an air of mystery, Zhu Yuhuan swaggered out...

  It wasn't until half a day later that the maid softly called out: "Miss, miss?"

  Lan Zhi Xiang finally came to her senses, hastily turned around to look, but there was no one there. She was lost in thought, and this time she really had tears welling up in her eyes.

  The maid looked at the young lady who had just yelled at her and now looked pitiful, she was at a loss...

  In the corner, two little people were hiding, looking like they were only eleven or twelve years old. They were clearly girls, but they were wearing men's clothing and wearing servants' hats at an angle, secretly stretching their heads to look towards the side door.

  That little one in front, with a face as white as jade, still had her hand on the hat, and after seeing that man walk away for half a day, Lan Zixiang was still standing in place, anxiously stomping her feet and softly calling out: "What's going on, Seventh Sister? That person has been gone for half a day and you still won't leave? Hurry up and let me through, or I'll be late!"

  The one behind held a large package and stared nervously at the blue bamboo nearby.

  ……

  Zhu Yanhuan walked out, suddenly sprinted wildly, ran out of two streets, feeling absolutely safe, and then stopped. He turned his head to look back, but no one was chasing after him. He shook his head and said, "The illness is not light." Then he found a quiet street and returned to the inn.

  Returned to the inn to fetch some silver, changed into a silk long shirt, hired a horse-drawn carriage outside and headed to Hook Lane.

  He took a sedan chair because he was afraid of running into people he knew. He and Zhu Yuchen were different, the King of De Xing and his sons were absolutely not allowed to leave their fiefdoms. If they left their fiefdoms and the imperial court found out, they would really be considered treasonous. The Ming dynasty emperors were very wary of vassal kings.

  Beijing's Hookah Hutong, by the Qing Dynasty, had a very famous name - Eight Great Hutongs. However, during the Ming Dynasty, it did not form that scale.

  Zhu Yuhuan was looking for a suitable, attractive young actor that Xue E would take a liking to. The theater troupe already had some, but Zhu Yuhuan needed one that they didn't have, so he came to Huogang Hutong to find one.

  He was a handsome young man, dressed in extremely luxurious attire, and when he arrived at the place with his fan, he naturally received an extremely warm welcome. Zhu Yuhuan picked for half a day and chose two 17 or 18-year-old youths.

  The old procuress at the brothel looked at him with an odd gaze, this handsome and extraordinary young man should be looking for a delicate 13 or 14-year-old boy, how... it seems like he's looking for...

  According to current terminology, he should have found a bottom, but instead found two tops, and the old procuress was also left bewildered.

  Zhu Yuhuan didn't care about other people's gaze, as long as it was suitable for Xue E, he considered it found, and immediately took out silver to redeem the two. Not because of anything else, but because he was afraid that after the matter, the Chu Mansion would investigate and find himself.

  He even made a bad move, when choosing people, he specifically chose those who looked very similar to Zhu Yu Xun. Even if they didn't look alike, as long as their behavior was similar, it would do. Even if their behavior wasn't similar, as long as one of their actions was similar, it would be fine. In short, as long as there was even a little bit of resemblance to Zhu Yu Xun, it would work.

  Since Xue Er is infatuated with Zhu Yichen, it's easier to deceive him by choosing someone like that.

  Having made his choice, Zhu Yuhuan thought about Zhu Yuchen seeing the expressions on these two people's faces and couldn't help but laugh until his stomach hurt.

  Leading two pale-skinned, delicate and gentle-looking white men back to the inn, Zhu Yuhuan also knew not to be too ostentatious, ordering them to hurry up and get in the carriage, not allowing them to look around.

  Those two people were like in a dream, suddenly they were redeemed and taken home by carriage (they thought it was back to Zhu Yuhuan's home), and they really thanked Zhu Yuhuan with tears.

  Zhu Yuhuan also got on the carriage, and those two people quickly knelt down beside it to invite him to take his seat - that is, sitting in the middle inside. Zhu Yuhuan looked at them and shook his head: "I'll sit outside, you two go inside."

  They kept calling the two people to move further in until they saw that the two were already at the farthest distance from themselves that the car could accommodate, and only then did they reluctantly nod their heads.

  The horse carriage slowly headed towards the inn, Zhu Yuhuan let out a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that now that the person had been found, things were basically half successful already...

  The coachman outside suddenly shouted loudly, and the carriage shook violently, swaying from side to side. The coachman comforted the horses in a loud voice, while the people inside were thrown into chaos. Zhu Yuhuan, who was close to the door, instinctively stretched out his hand to tightly grasp the door frame and asked loudly: "What's going on?"

  As soon as the words fell, the horse carriage hadn't even stopped yet, when suddenly the curtain was lifted and a person flew in like a cannonball, directly falling into Zhu Yuhuan's arms. Zhu Yuhuan let out a loud cry, really couldn't help but shout, it was just too sudden.

  Before he could react, the carriage had already come to a stop. Zhu Yuhuan looked at the person who was still struggling to get up, covered in dust and dirt all over their body - a small girl dressed in men's clothing.

  The reason I knew she was a little girl was thatbecause this person's ears were right in front of him, and at a glance, he saw the small earrings on her earlobe - unless she was like Xue E, a freak with good cross-dressing habits.

  "Who is it? What do you want?" Zhu Yuhuan shouted loudly when the little girl grabbed his collar, strangling his neck, almost choking him.

  That little girl had just managed to get up with great difficulty, but was startled by the sudden loud shout right next to her ear and let out a cry of "aiyo", falling back into Zhu Yuhuan's arms. Her buttocks landed squarely on Zhu Yuhuan's vital spot, causing him to be pressed so hard that he couldn't even cry out...

  Outside, a chaotic shouting voice sounded: "Those who go this way will intercept her"

  Zhu Yuhuan strained his neck to shout: Here, silly egg is in the carriage...

  The little girl happened to look up at him, wanting to say something, saw that he was about to sell himself out, so she pressed her hands on Zhu Yuhuan's body, propped herself up, stretched out her hand and covered his mouth - along with his nose, and anxiously said: "Don't shout, please, don't shout..."

  Zhu Yanhuan's eyes were about to be suffocated, and he stretched out his hand to push her chest hard, finally pushing away the evil palm that covered her mouth and nose. He hurriedly took a deep breath of fresh air...

  That little girl was pushed with a 'bang' and heavily hit the car frame, motionless for half a day.

  Zhu Yuhuan took two or three deep breaths, and his mind became clear. The first thing he felt was the softness on his hands, like a ball of dough...

  He looked at the little girl in front of him who was still dazed from being hit, and thought to himself, such a young girl, how could she... Cough cough cough...

  Those two pale-faced young men were frightened out of their wits, shrinking into the corner of the car, trembling with fear as they stared at everything in front of them.

  "Hey, hey, who is it? Got a grudge against me? Trying to crush me or what?"

  The little girl sat up, but her face was still in a daze, looking at Zhu Yuhuan with some confusion. She stared blankly for a while before suddenly reacting, a flash of terror crossing her face. She immediately lifted the curtain to take a look, and her expression changed drastically after seeing something.

  Zhu Yuhuan turned his head and took a look, and he also saw that not far in front of the car, a burly man was standing, with a ferocious expression on his face, looking around for something.

  The little girl quickly pulled down the car curtain and immediately shrank inside.

  "Who's asking the questions? What are you doing in my car? If you have nothing to do, get out quickly!"

  That little girl was so scared that she hurriedly waved her hands wildly, and then quickly clasped them together in a fist to salute him, whispering: "Don't, please don't drive me away... I'll go down in a moment, you're a good person, please don't drive me away now..."

  Zhu Yuhuan was a person who yielded to softness but not to hardness. When the little girl begged him with gentle words, he couldn't bear to be harsh and could only ask: "Who exactly is it? Why are those people chasing?"

  "My name is Lan... I'm called Zou'er, they're partners of the silk embroidery workshop. I sell them silk embroidery samples, but they want to cheat me out of my money. I... I snatched the silver and ran, and they chased after me..."

  "Chou Er?" Zhu Yuhuan muttered to himself, how did she get such a name? Looking at the little girl in front of him wearing coarse linen men's clothing, he was certain that she was a poor man's daughter, selling embroidered silk to make money. He couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for her, thinking that she had just been anxious about his actions earlier. "Forget it..." He shook his head: "But I can't wait any longer, I have to move forward. Let's go ahead and walk?"

  "Good, good!" The silk child begged for it and nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

  Zhu Yuhuan called out to the coachman outside to urge the horses on, and they moved forward. Zhen'er anxiously lifted the curtain of the carriage window and looked outside, until they had turned two streets away, those people were no longer in sight, she finally let out a breath and put down the curtain. Then she curiously sized up Zhu Yuhuan, looking at him with an expression of sudden realization on her face.

  "Does he recognize me?"

  That silk child was about to nod, then thought for a moment and immediately changed his mind and shook his head: "No, no, no, I don't know... How could I know the young master?" She smiled at Zhu Yuhuan with a flattering expression. (If you like this work, welcome to subscribe, reward on Starting Point Mobile Web , your support is my greatest motivation.)
