Chapter 363 Wuchen Takes Action
“Since the An An siblings have joined the game, the other side is certain that this game cannot be broken. But what if... that place is not a brothel at all? What if a martial arts conference is really being held there instead of a dancing conference?” Wu Chen rarely showed his edge. He was no longer the expressionless guard beside the prince. He also had people he had to protect.
He forcefully pushed Ye Muan to Madam Ye's side and said, "Sit still!"
Shen Yu blinked, and seeing his overbearing attitude, he couldn't help but complain, "It's a good idea, but why should the brothel listen to you?"
Wu Chen did not answer, but just looked at her speechlessly.
"That's right! How could the 'Drunk Red House', which was once the most famous in our Zhuocheng, not be a brothel? Letting a group of girls compete in martial arts? Is it reasonable?" Gao Yong was worthy of being the new mouthpiece of the palace, and he directly expressed everyone's doubts.
Although he was a dandy, he was a proper dandy. He had never been to the Zuihonglou, but he had heard about the reputation of the former top brothel since he was a child! The fathers of several officials around him were frequent visitors there. There were wine pools, meat forests, and flowers everywhere. Girls would dress in various clothes and sometimes shuttle around in the building, sometimes dancing gracefully, like butterflies fluttering among the flowers, making people intoxicated and reluctant to leave... He had heard many rumors about such a place. Wasn't this a brothel? Who would believe it if he told others?
Obviously everyone had the same idea as Gao Yong. All pairs of curious eyes looked at the person standing in the middle.
Now only Lu Yingxing is the calmest. He knows Wu Chen well and he will not mention anything he is not sure about.
Wu Chen was in a good mood. It turned out that the feeling of watching others laugh at their jokes was so wonderful. No wonder the princess often talked about it.
Zhang Hao, who was outside the door, came in late. He nodded to Wu Chen first, handed over the account book in his hand, and said respectfully, "Princess, let me explain. 'Zuihonglou' is your property."
Everyone, "????"
Shen Yu, "......"
Seeing the puzzled look on the princess' face, Zhang Hao did not keep her in suspense. Wu Chen asked him to come back to clear up the confusion. He coughed lightly and said, "Princess, when you sent me back, in addition to setting up the workshop, you also ordered me to acquire some different industries if suitable, is that right?"
Shen Yu nodded mechanically.
"The princess also said that Yihongfang is very profitable and has the potential to become the number one brothel in Luo City, so she also wants to open one in Zhuo City, and also requires that the performers only sell their art but not their bodies, is that right?"
Shen Yu nodded again, as if this was indeed the case.
"Ahem..." It was rare to see the princess looking so silly and cute, Zhang Hao suppressed his laughter and said, "This 'Zuihonglou' was indeed the best brothel in Zhuocheng many years ago. Most of the top courtesans came from here, but because most of them sold their art instead of their bodies, they offended the rich and powerful."
"Over the years, people have left and dispersed in the building, and it has fallen to the point where there are no famous people to support it. The current 'Zuihonglou' is more like a restaurant for listening to music than a brothel. It was once a prosperous place for fireworks, but now it is a place for young girls to retire and for old friends to get together. Most of the people who are still willing to listen to music are former customers. Although it can barely support the 'Zuihonglou', it is still not enough to cover its expenses. The owner decided to sell it..."
Seeing the princess frowning, he hurriedly explained, "Of course, I didn't deliberately lower the price when I went to negotiate the deal. Based on my understanding of the princess, she obviously didn't want to drive these poor women away, so I took the initiative to buy this place without spending much money... The premise is that I bought the girls in the building together. I originally planned to make plans after the princess came, but the princess became pregnant, and the prince ordered all new deals to be put on hold, so the matter of 'Zuihonglou' was delayed, but someone has to take over the new industry..."
At this point, he glanced at Wu Chen, who then took over the conversation, "Hong Niang was originally from the Dark Guard Camp. She has been in the entertainment industry for many years. After taking over the Zui Hong Lou, she wanted to revitalize it. That's why there have been all kinds of noises in the building recently. I guess it has attracted other people's attention, so she set up this trap..."
He chuckled, what a coincidence.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Chen knelt down and apologized, "Hongniang recognized An An, so she showed up to help out, and she also deliberately said 'Oiran Night' is 'Flower God Night'. She also sent someone to pass the message to my subordinates immediately. Unfortunately, I received my mother's letter first and set off to the mansion earlier, so Hongniang's message was a step slower. But I have already arranged it. Tomorrow, 'Drunk Red Mansion' will hold a martial arts conference as scheduled. All the participants are women with strong martial arts in the martial arts world... In an emergency, I acted on my own initiative. I beg the prince and princess to punish me."
As the commander of the three armies, he has the right to mobilize the secret guards, but this is the first time that he has made arrangements without the permission of the prince and princess. However, since it concerns Ye Muan's reputation, he can't care less.
Shen Yu turned to look at Lu Yingxing, confused for a moment. What crime was he asking for?
After touching his wife's suspicious face, he said, "Get up, go back and lead the twenty troops to get out."
"Yes!" Wu Chen stood up swiftly, knowing that the matter was over.
"No, why did the prince want to beat my Wu Chen? His arrangement is so brilliant! Shouldn't we praise him?" Ye Muan jumped up and rushed forward to stand up for her man.
It was the first time that Wu Chen was protected by someone. This feeling made him feel fresh and his heart was burning. He reached out and pulled the person and whispered, "I shouldn't make decisions without the permission of the prince and princess."
Ye Muan understood immediately, "But didn't Yu'er say that as long as the matter is right, we should delegate power to subordinates to the greatest extent possible? Otherwise, she would be very busy if she had to ask for instructions on everything."
"Ahem!" Shen Yu gave Ye San Sui a look, telling her to shut up. The management of the army is different from the management of the store clerks. Military law is like a mountain, how can it be played with? But this time, Wu Chen's handling made her very satisfied. For the sake of her woman, she had to confront him head-on!
Ye Muan is the one who can swallow the words that are on the tip of his tongue.
At this time, Ye Xiuyong raised his hand weakly, "Um... does it mean that everything is fine? An An's reputation will not be affected?" Facing everyone's gaze, he spoke bravely.
Madam Ye had no intention of letting him go, and said directly, "Who said there is no impact? Everyone who should know about this matter now knows about it, and this impact will follow your sister for the rest of her life!!"
Mrs. Ye’s voice could not be suppressed, and everyone’s eyes turned to the two of them again.
Wu Chen knew that Mrs. Ye wanted him to express his opinion.
He took two steps forward and knelt down in front of her. "Please forgive me, Madam Ye. Everything is caused by me. I, Gu Chen, am willing to swear on my life that I will never let Ye Muan down. Having her alone in this life is enough for me. I will never have other thoughts. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
Madam Ye did not expect her son-in-law to be so decisive. She secretly glanced at Prince Zhuo, who was his trusted general. Seeing that he did not stop her, her eyes slightly reddened. "Okay! I believe in your promise, but I don't need you to be struck by lightning. I just hope that if you find someone you love in the future, you don't have to worry about it and just return An An to us."
Wu Chen stared at Madam Ye, his eyes full of seriousness, "That day will never come."
