Chunyue Wine House!
To avoid her identity being discovered, Qin Yun resumed her female attire!
Hong Fu, disguised as a maid, and Qing Shan, disguised as a young servant, followed behind Qin Yun!
Chunyue Wine House truly lived up to its reputation as the foremost among the four great wine houses!
This establishment was situated on the busiest street in the capital, and its sprawling grounds were astonishingly vast, easily two or three times the size of her own Zhuangyuan Residence!
Upon entering, Qin Yun scanned her surroundings. The wine house had four floors.
The guests on the first floor were common folk, and the main hall was bustling with activity! An old madam played the erhu and led dances, while elderly gentlemen occupied the hall!
The waiters inside were very enthusiastic. With a glance at Qin Yun’s attire, one immediately led her to a private room on the second floor!
Arriving on the second floor, Qin Yun found the decor to be uniquely tasteful!
As she passed through the corridor, Qin Yun keenly overheard that each private room on the second floor featured special talent performances!
Young noblemen were attended by a group of provocatively dressed women, while the private rooms for young ladies were filled with fair-skinned and handsome male escorts!
Qin Yun held her forehead, inwardly sneering at the place’s perceived provincialism!
Qin Yun was led by the handsome young escort into a private room in a corner.
“Miss, would you require special service?” the escort asked with a lecherous smile.
She understood the meaning of “special service” but had no interest in it!
Qin Yun sat down on a red sandalwood stool and chuckled lightly. “I’ve heard your fruit wine is excellent. Bring me a pot!”
The escort beamed. “Our Chunyue Wine House’s fruit wine is indeed exceptional. It can be enjoyed by everyone, young and old!”
“If Miss wishes to try fruit wine, you’ve come to the right place!”
Hong Fu glanced at the escort and frowned. “Stop with the nonsense and fetch the wine!”
The escort shot Hong Fu a look before unhurriedly going to get the wine.
After the escort left, Qin Yun reversed her outer robe and tied her long hair up high, revealing her perfect, elegant swan-like neck. To transform into a woman, Qin Yun had taken an antidote earlier, and her Adam’s apple had disappeared.
Qin Yun pulled down the fabric of her top, exposing her delicate collarbone!
She then tore open the side of her skirt, revealing her alluringly long legs!
Qin Yun, in this new guise, appeared even more alluring, charming, and seductive!
“You two wait here for me. I’ll be back shortly. When the escort brings the wine, handle it yourselves!”
With that, Qin Yun departed!
Hong Fu and Qing Shan exchanged glances!
Had their mistress’s attire just now… been a little too much?
After leaving, Qin Yun looked left and right, ensuring no one was watching, and swiftly ascended to the third floor via a corner staircase!
Arriving at a corner on the third floor!
Qin Yun heard strange noises emanating from a certain room!
From the innermost corner room, sounds of men and women mingled, and with such bizarre noises, Qin Yun could imagine the explicit scenes occurring within with just a little effort!
Could it be that the third floor was for conducting illicit business?
But why did the woman’s voice sound so familiar? She felt as if she had heard it somewhere before!
Qin Yun stroked her chin, contemplating!
Seizing the opportunity when no one was around, Qin Yun followed the sounds to the window of that room!
She looked around, confirming no one was present, then used her index finger to poke a hole in the papered window!
What she saw within was… a rather unspeakable scene!
From Qin Yun’s vantage point, she could only see a disheveled woman!
The woman was… Su Man’er!
Su Man’er?
Qin Yun tried to get a clear view of the man’s face, but unfortunately, the man had his back to her, and she couldn’t see his face at all!
She could only hear Su Man’er murmuring contentedly with her eyes narrowed, continuously humming, and even calling out, “Your Highness Prince Li… Your Highness Prince Li…”
His Highness Prince Li?
Could this man be that philanderer?
Qin Yun glanced again, her curiosity piqued!
As she watched, she frowned slightly!
This wasn’t right! Although she couldn’t see his face, judging by the man’s build and skin tone, who was diligently working, it wasn’t Xie Zixuan himself!
Was Su Man’er simply too desperate?
Was she so consumed with longing for Xie Zixuan that she had gone mad?
So she snuck off to a place like this to find a man to quench her thirst?
And she was imagining the man laboring away as Xie Zixuan to vent her desires?
Good heavens!
Could this be considered her discovering Su Man’er’s secret?
Qin Yun sighed helplessly. Just as she was about to turn and leave, someone tapped her shoulder from behind!
Startled, Qin Yun instinctively shrieked!
Before she could utter a sound, a large hand covered her mouth!
The tall man behind her scooped Qin Yun up and carried her towards his private chamber!
A private chamber on the third floor!
The man set Qin Yun down!
Qin Yun was about to berate him, but upon seeing his face, she was utterly speechless!
The man was Xie Jing’an, who was now smiling at Qin Yun. “Miss, we meet again!”
Meet again, my foot! I wish I never had to see you!
Qin Yun smiled faintly. “Young master, we don’t seem to be acquainted. It seems rather improper for you to abduct me!”
Xie Jing’an chuckled lazily. “Improper? Then it seems even more improper for a young lady to be peeping outside someone else’s window, doesn’t it?”
“I didn’t expect the young lady to have such a hobby, enjoying watching others…?” Xie Jing’an coughed twice. “Ahem, well… if the young lady truly wishes, I don’t mind reenacting the scene you just witnessed, but it would require the young lady’s cooperation!”
“Scoundrel!” Qin Yun grew increasingly enraged as she listened and raised her hand to slap Xie Jing’an!
Xie Jing’an, quick as lightning, grabbed Qin Yun’s wrist and brought it before him, examining it closely!
“Miss, don’t get agitated. If you hurt yourself, I would be heartbroken. It’s been about a month since we last met. Tell me… where have you been hiding all this month that I couldn’t find you!”
“What is your name, Miss? Where are you from? Who are the people in your household?”
Qin Yun yanked her hand away, replying disdainfully, “Why should I tell you? I don’t even know who you are. Why did you abduct me here? What do you want to do to me?”
“Miss, don’t be nervous. If you wish to know my identity, allow me to tell you slowly!”
“I am the Second Prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom. The current Emperor is my uncle. My name is Xie Jing’an! Do you know now, Miss?” Xie Jing’an said with a hint of pride, believing his status and position would surely earn him admiration!
Qin Yun sneered. “I’m sorry, I’m not interested in your identity. May I leave now?”
Not interested?
With his status, who wouldn’t be pleased? Why was this woman so unappreciative!
“Then, Miss, could you tell me your name? To be honest… I seem to have fallen for you!” Xie Jing’an declared his intentions directly!
He didn’t want to play games. If he liked someone, he liked them, and he should say so early to avoid regret!
Fallen for her?
Qin Yun was momentarily stunned and coughed violently. “Cough, cough, cough!”
