"She clearly promised to stay in Spring Brook, but she didn't keep her word. As long as I arranged a time to hold the incense competition, she would make herself extremely ugly.
Today, she didn't listen to my orders and casually lifted her handkerchief in front of the customers. She deliberately let everyone see her current appearance and not dare to buy her.
If she was really so unwilling to stay, she didn't have to agree to it. Why did she have to agree to it first and then make things difficult for me? She's clearly bullying me on purpose!”
Granny Bao vented the resentment in her heart and kept complaining about Peng Yingchun to Shangguan Lin.
Peng Yingchun didn't have any reaction when she saw her criticizing her in a good way. She only wiped her scary bloody mouth with a handkerchief.
Sigh! It took her a lot of time to make her mouth look big, and it was quite troublesome to remove the makeup, especially without the help of those good makeup removers.
Seeing Peng Yingchun's indifferent look, Granny Bao was even more furious.
"She's just so uneducated. I really can't do anything to her. Young Master Shangguan, you must make a decision for me. Don't let me be bullied by a little girl. If this gets out, where will I put my face?”
It seemed that Granny Bao had suffered a lot from her recently.
"What do you have to say?" He asked Peng Yingchun, who was standing at the side with an indifferent expression.
She looked at Shangguan Lin and grinned at him.
"What do you want me to say?" she asked.
"Tell me, why did you prank Granny Bao? Why did you go back on your word?"
Although he had been tortured badly by her when he was disguised as a woman, now that he had recovered his male form, his tone naturally had a bit more courage.
"When did I go back on my word?" Peng Yingchun did not accept this accusation.
"Are you Barbarian? You actually don't admit what you said. I was wrong about you!”Granny Bao interrupted their conversation, feeling indignant that she had been deceived by her.
"Oh, so you're referring to that matter!”She dragged out her words in realization. "I remember that there were five big men who wanted to hit me with wooden sticks. It seems that you sent them to force me. At that time, the situation was critical. If I didn't agree, wouldn't I have been beaten to death?”
"No matter what, you agreed to it yourself!”Granny Bao wanted to fight with her.
Very good, things were going according to her plan.
"I had no choice but to nod my head and agree. If it's not out of my own will, it doesn't constitute a promise. Therefore, no matter what I say, it's useless. Besides, I didn't agree to be a prostitute in Spring Brothel in Jiangnan. I remember that I agreed to stay and do something. As for what I do, it depends on my wishes. I'm the kind of person who doesn't commit murder, arson, or corrupt customs. I'm sorry, but selling my body is exactly what corrupts customs.”
Anyway, she was going to insist. She didn't believe that they could do anything to her.
" You..." Knowing that she had been tricked, Granny Bao was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Listening to their conversation, Shangguan Lin also roughly understood.
Granny Bao had been deceived by her!
"This whole thing is your fault. You forced me into prostitution and put me, who didn't sell my body, under house arrest in a brothel. You threatened me with malicious words and wanted me to do whatever you wanted because I was afraid. Let me tell you, I, Peng Yingchun, am not someone easy to deal with. I won't be sold by you like other women!”
She might lose to them in terms of strength, but she was confident that her brain would not lose to them.
Looking at Peng Yingchun's proud expression, Shangguan Lin felt as if he had returned to those days in Grand View Garden when he was always being pranked by her.
What a ghost! Why would he think of the greatest humiliation in his life?
Shangguan Lin turned his mind back to the matter in front of him, unwilling to recall the past.
She was really beautiful!
Shangguan Lin had no choice but to admit this fact, but he was not suitable to be a prostitute, because she would tear down the house, make the guests miserable, deceive everyone, and destroy his life's efforts.
She was even more terrifying than Daemon's Grimace. She was simply the embodiment of the devil.
Keeping her alive would not bring him any benefits. Instead, it would bring him a lot of trouble. At that time, he might not be able to steal the chicken and lose the rice instead.
He did not have the confidence to tame a wild cat like her.
If he kept her here, the name of Spring Brook that he had built up with great difficulty would be ruined in her hands.
In order to protect his reputation, he couldn't keep her around anymore.
Losing her might give him more.
"You can go now!" After thinking for a long time, Shangguan Lin only said these three words.
"What did you say? You want me to leave?" Peng Yingchun wondered if she had heard wrongly.
He had spent a lot of effort to trick her out of the Grand View Garden and then put her under house arrest in the building for a few days. He should not have suddenly let her go for no reason.
"I'm letting you go. You can leave Spring Brook.”Shangguan Lin said firmly.
He would never regret letting her go because keeping her was a curse and not a blessing.
Sigh! He understood this truth too late.
"Grandpa!" Granny Bao did not understand why he would suddenly make such a decision.
"Don't say anything. I believe this arrangement is the best.”He would not change his mind.
She had thought that she would be happy to leave this damned place, but now that she heard that he was willing to let her go, she was a little reluctant. After all, she had a lot of fun in the brothel.
"You can go now!" Seeing that Peng Yingchun didn't move, Shangguan Lin urged her.
It was best to chase her away as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble.
When he wanted her, he had tried his best to trick her into his arms. Now that he didn't want her anymore, he was chasing her away like a dog chasing a cat. She would never do as he wished!
"I'm not leaving!" Humph! If he wanted her to leave, she would not.
"Haven't you always wanted to leave? Why is it that you refuse to leave when I ask you to?”Shangguan Lin really couldn't understand her thoughts.
"There's food and fun here. Why should I leave?”There were too many people who could be pranked here. Compared to the Grand View Garden, this place was much more interesting.
Peng Yingchun found it interesting, but others found it extremely painful.
Although Granny Bao didn't quite agree to let her go, the thought of leaving her here gave her a headache.
After comparing the two, she decided that it was better for her to leave, so Granny Bao no longer insisted that she stay.
"I won't leave!" Peng Yingchun insisted.
If she left just because he wanted her to, she would lose face!
Granny Bao didn't want Peng Yingchun to stay, and she didn't want to stay and stare at Granny Bao all day, so she decided to follow Shangguan Lin. Wherever he went, she would follow.
"Stop following!" After being followed by her for a few days, Shangguan Lin felt very annoyed.
She had followed him all the way back to Suzhou from Jinling with her luggage. She even stayed in Spring Brook with him in Suzhou.
He and Wu Yong were two grown men, and there was a woman beside them. It was a very strange feeling. Everyone he knew looked at him strangely.
"I want to follow!" She would never change her mind.
" You…" He really didn't understand why she was so insistent.
Seeing his distressed look, Peng Yingchun was merciful and offered him a way out.
"Actually, if you want to get rid of me, it's very easy. It's not as difficult as you think.”
Hearing that he could get rid of her, Shangguan Lin's spirit followed, waiting for her to continue with a look of anticipation.
"As long as you find a way to send me home, I won't pester you. You'll be free in the future, and I promise you'll never see me again.”
Was it that simple? This was not difficult at all!
"Where is your home? I'll send someone to send you back immediately!" As long as he could send her away, he was willing to spend a mountain of gold and silver to find someone to escort her.
"Ordinary people can't send me home!”If she could go back so easily, she wouldn't have to waste time.
Was the place she lived in a dragon's pool or a tiger's den? Otherwise, how could ordinary people not be able to send her back?
"You just need to help me find some eminent monks and powerful Daoists. Perhaps one of them can explain my existence and even send me back.”
Although Shangguan Lin was very puzzled as to why he needed to find a high monk or a Taoist priest to send her home, the thought of being able to get rid of her forever made him suppress the doubts in his heart and decide to do as she said.
"Alright, no problem!" It shouldn't be difficult to find such an expert, right?
"Then I'll leave the heavy responsibility of going home to you. In order to help you relieve your worries, I'll take care of Spring in the South.”She wanted to have some fun before she went home.
"No!" Shangguan Lin refused without thinking.
He had spent money to open this branch, so he couldn't hand it over to her. If she messed around like she did in Jinling, then his reputation would be ruined by her.
"Anyway, you have to find a brothel madame to help you take care of the entire building's girls. If you let me be the brothel madame, not only can you save this money, but you can also get a young and beautiful brothel madame.”
She was not a prostitute, but she was very interested in being a brothel owner.
When she thought of the girls and the fang-seeker in the entire building that she could bully, her excitement could not help but spread out from her heart.
"No means no!" His attitude was still unyielding.
Humph! She didn't believe that he could last until the end.
"You said it yourself! At that time, if your shop can't open, can't earn money, and no lecherous people come to visit, it's none of my business.”
If he agreed to her request, she would kindly help him take care of this shop. However, if he did not agree, she would cause trouble all day and make it impossible for him to do business.
" You…" She actually dared to threaten him!
"You have to think carefully. Don't be impulsive and make the wrong decision.”
Forget it! It was just a shop, so he let her do it as long as she was happy. Anyway, he just wanted to show that he was not afraid of him and deliberately demonstrated to him. He had no intention of running this shop for a long time.
"Alright, I promise you." Since he couldn't understand her thoughts, he might as well accept her request.
"You finally made the right decision this time!”Peng Yingchun said to him with a smile.
He didn't know if it was the right decision. He only knew that if he followed her, he would have a good life. If he foolishly disobeyed her, then his life would be difficult.
For the first time since the establishment of Spring Brothel, the brothel keeper was a young woman as beautiful as a fairy. This matter was immediately spread by word of mouth and soon spread throughout the streets and alleys. Spring Brothel in Suzhou became a must-visit place for all those looking for a prostitute.
Compared to the brothel madame, the girls in Spring in Jiangnan were much inferior, so they all had ulterior motives and came for her. They were all scheming in their hearts, competing to get the favor of the famous brothel madame.
When night fell, a pair of red lanterns had been hung in front of the Shangguan Mansion. The Shangguan family's entrance was crowded with dignitaries, but they were not going to visit. Instead, they were thinking of Spring of the South opposite the Shangguan Mansion. But because Spring Brothel had not hung up the lanterns for business, they were not afraid of losing face and waited outside. They were afraid that if they were late, they would not be able to meet the brothel madame.
Peng Yingchun, who was dressed in a red silk dress, was led by two men carrying lanterns, followed by more than twenty gorgeously dressed girls. The group of people staggered to the door.
This walking posture couldn't be casual. Peng Yingchun had learned it from Granny Bao.
"Granny Chun is out!"
Peng Yingchun's appearance caused a commotion at the door.
She was younger than these people and should have just called her Miss Chun. However, she could not stand these people who did not stay at home and always went to brothels, so she insisted that everyone call her "Spring Granny" and taught her to take advantage of everyone.
"Gentlemen, young masters, I'm really flattered that you're here so early!”
Peng Yingchun was able to get into the situation so quickly by playing the role of a brothel madame. It was all thanks to Granny Bao's good example.
"Granny Chun, we came here to wait as soon as the sun set!”
"I know, I understand. I'll get someone to hang up the red lanterns and show everyone the way.”Peng Yingchun motioned for the two burly men to hang up the lanterns.
As soon as the lanterns were hung, everyone immediately rushed forward and surrounded Peng Yingchun.
"Granny Chun, you have to accompany me well today!”
"I'm the one who should be accompanying Granny Chun, not you. Get out of my way!”
"You guys are the ones who have to move aside. Granny Chun wants to accompany me.”
Everyone just fought over Peng Yingchun like that, not asking for her opinion at all.
"I have more money than you. I should be the one accompanying Granny Chun.”
She looked coldly at this group of men arguing for her. She was not happy at all. Instead, she felt a wave of anger.
Not wanting to hear their quarrels, Peng Yingchun gestured for the girls to quickly welcome these lechers in and dig out all their silver.
"Master Fang, quickly follow me in. Granny Chun will be here in a while.”
"Uncle Zhang, if you don't come in quickly, Granny Chun won't have time to entertain you!”
"Young Master Shang, if you don't hurry up, you'll be slower than others. Even if Granny Chun wants to see you, you won't be able to today.”
Suddenly, the door was empty, and all the men entered Spring Brook, the most lucrative place in history.
Shangguan Lin, who was hiding in the dark, saw everything clearly. He really couldn't believe that her tactics were so brilliant. She managed to tame those men and even earned a lot of money for the newly opened Spring Brothel.
Shangguan Lin originally wanted to show himself, but when he saw a palanquin coming in this direction not far away, he quickly retracted his foot.
Peng Yingchun also saw the luxurious sedan chair. She guessed that there were probably rich people sitting inside.
The thought of being able to slaughter these fat sheep made her feel extremely happy. She wanted to see if her charm could seduce him.
The palanquin slowly came to a stop in front of the Shangguan family's residence. The gate of the Shangguan family, which had always been locked, was opened at this moment.
The curtain of the palanquin was lifted, and a man dressed in luxurious clothes got off.
So it was the Shangguan family opposite!
Humph! She didn't care who he was. As long as he was rich, she wanted to rip him off ruthlessly.
"Sir!" Peng Yingchun went up to him.
When the man heard her voice, he immediately turned to look at Peng Yingchun. When he saw her appearance, he was stunned by her beauty.
"Go! You madam, stay away from our family's adults!”In order to protect his master, the man dressed as a servant ignored her beauty and pushed Peng Yingchun.
Peng Yingchun pretended to fall to the ground.
"It hurts!" She covered her jade-like hand that was in pain and shouted.
"How dare you be rude to this lady!”He scolded the insensible servant beside him. "Miss, did it hurt?"
He walked forward and helped her up.
"It does hurt a little, but since you came to help me, I won't hurt anymore.”She said shyly.
This kind of beautiful voice really made him intoxicated.
"Where does Young Lady live? This one will escort you back to your residence." Seeing her outfit, he guessed that her family background must be extraordinary.
"My house is over there!" Peng Yingchun pointed behind her. "If you don't mind the distance, please follow me.”
He followed her hand and looked up. Spring Brook's signboard immediately jumped into his eyes.
Spring in the South! He was instantly dumbfounded.
When did a brothel open opposite his house? He really doubted his own eyes.
Damn it, this must be Shangguan Lin's doing!
This man whose fame was so great that smoke was rising from his head was precisely Shangguan Lin's second brother-Shangguan Jue.
"You live in Spring in the South?" He couldn't believe that such a beautiful woman would be selling her smile in a brothel.
"Yes, I am!" Peng Yingchun answered with a smile.
Strange! She was now the most popular person in Suzhou. Why did he not seem to know her?
"Milord, she's the most popular brothel madame in Spring in Jiangnan-Spring Granny.”Seeing that Shangguan Jue didn't quite understand the situation, the servant hurriedly whispered into his ear to remind him.
She was a brothel madame! How was this possible?
It was simply unbelievable that such a young girl was actually a brothel madame.
"Where is Shangguan Lin?" He wanted to ask him why he let a young girl be a brothel keeper, and he also wanted to ask him what was the meaning of opening a brothel opposite his mansion.
"You know him?" She remembered that Shangguan Lin was always hiding behind the scenes, and was surprised that someone could directly say his name.
"Of course!"
Everyone in the Shangguan family knew that Spring Brook was Shangguan Lin's masterpiece, but for the sake of the Shangguan family's reputation, they did not spread it around, even though it was no longer a secret.
"He went to Jinling and isn't here.”Peng Yingchun said she was lying to him. "Spring in the South is now under my control. If you have any problems, you can look for me.”
She wanted to know the relationship between this man and Shangguan Lin.
Shangguan Jue stared at her for a while before slowly opening his mouth to ask: "What's your relationship with Shangguan Lin?”
This kind of woman, in terms of appearance, was worthy of the Shangguan family. However, she was a brothel woman and a brothel keeper. If she was Shangguan Lin's woman, he would never let her enter the Shangguan family.
" Me and him…" Peng Yingchun was thinking about how to introduce herself.
Shangguan Lin, who was hiding in the dark, felt that this was a good opportunity to show his face, so he appeared in front of them and replied loudly,
"She's my fiancée!"
The moment Shangguan Lin's words left his mouth, not only was Peng Yingchun stunned, even Shangguan Jue was stunned.
"What are you talking about?" She did not understand why he was spouting such nonsense.
"What are you shy about? It was only a matter of time before she told Second Brother about this good news.”Shangguan Lin pulled Peng Yingchun into his arms.
Second Brother! Peng Yingchun was very surprised by the identity of that person.
Seeing the undercurrent between the two of them, Peng Yingchun tactfully shut her mouth and did not refute Shangguan Lin's words. Anyway, she had plenty of time to force him to speak clearly later.#
