Chapter 335 Liang Zhu (6)
About an hour later, Qingzhu and Matong returned, and the brothel seemed to have become unusually lively.
"Young master, we're back."
"Tell me quickly, what did you find out?" Wangyou could no longer resist the urge to watch the show.
"Young master, don't be in a hurry, let me tell you slowly." Qingzhu knew that her young master loved to watch the excitement, so she didn't keep him in suspense and began to speak after taking a sip of water.
"Young master, after we went inside, we found that Qin Jingsheng, Zhu Yingtai, and Prefect Ma were all heading towards one person, and that person was Yu Wuxia."
"Yu Wuxia, I've never heard of that name before!" Wangyou thought for a moment, and indeed, she didn't have that name in her memory.
"Young master, it's like this. Yu Wuxia knows Zhu Yingtai, and I also discovered something else: Zhu Yingtai is a woman, and she and Yu Wuxia knew each other from their youth." Qingzhu was getting quite excited as she spoke.
"anything else?"
"I overheard their conversation and discovered that Yu Wuxia's real name should be Huang Liangyu. Huang Liangyu was supposed to be the wife of Zhu Yingtai's brother, Zhu Yingqi. However, on the wedding day, the younger sister helped her future sister-in-law escape the marriage and ended up with a poor scholar."
As a result, this poor scholar, in order to continue his studies, sold Huang Liangyu into a brothel, where she became the now-famous Yu Wuxia.
"Indeed, the righteous are often the lowly butchers, while the ungrateful are often the scholars," Wangyou remarked.
"Is Zhu Yingtai crazy? Helping others to harm her own brother," Ma Wencai couldn't help but retort.
"That's right. Then Zhu Yingtai felt very guilty and told Huang Liangyu that she would definitely save her. At that moment, there was a knock on the door. When I heard it, it was Qin Jingsheng's voice. Huang Liangyu recognized it too and quickly sent Zhu Yingtai away through the back door."
"And then what?"
"Then Qin Jingsheng swaggered in. It turned out he was the scholar who sold Huang Liangyu. He came to ask Huang Liangyu for living expenses and even took all the gold Huang Liangyu had received from selling himself. He even looked down on Huang Liangyu!"
Qingzhu spoke with righteous indignation, and even wanted to punch someone.
"Qin Jingsheng's character was never good, so it's not surprising that he did this. And then what?"
"Then Qin Jingsheng cursed Huang Liangyu and slapped him before leaving through the back door. At that moment, Magistrate Ma arrived." Qingzhu said, glancing at Ma Wencai.
"Wencai, don't be angry, just listen." Wangyou's voice carried a calming power, and Ma Wencai suppressed his anger and continued to listen.
"Then Magistrate Ma booked Yu Wuxia, but I felt like he was looking at someone else through Yu Wuxia, but I don't know the specifics."
"So what's going on with all this commotion over there?"
"That Zhu Yingtai was actually a woman disguised as a man. She went to a brothel, and because she was pretty, she was teased by the women there. So Zhu Yingtai hid, and that's when Liang Shanbo and Xun Jubo arrived. When they saw Zhu Yingtai surrounded by people, things got lively."
"Good heavens, they're just throwing their lives away." Wangyou found it hilarious.
“I’m going to ask him.” Ma Wencai suddenly stood up, but Wangyou quickly pulled him back to the stool to continue sitting.
"What do you want to ask? Do you want to ask him why he keeps a prostitute as a mistress?"
Ma Wencai remained silent, only growing angrier.
“There’s no need for that. You don’t like your father anyway, so just ignore whatever he does. As long as he helps you in your career, that’s enough. Use him as a tool. If you’re happy, he’ll be happy, and everyone will be happy. If you go out and question him now, who knows what Magistrate Ma might do in his anger?” Wangyou earnestly advised.
“I don’t need him to get into officialdom; I just feel sorry for my mother.” Ma Wencai’s eyes were a little red.
"No, we should use tools when necessary. Why not use them if they are convenient? Only a fool would not. Besides, your mother has already passed away. Magistrate Ma treated her badly. Isn't it a kind of happiness that she left us so early? Maybe she has already been reincarnated."
"Really? Has my mother really been reincarnated?"
"Of course, so don't think too much about it, and don't worry about how many women your father has in his harem. Nowadays, too many men have three wives and four concubines. Wouldn't it be better to use that time to eat something delicious?" Wangyou said, taking another bite of red bean pastry with a satisfied look on her face.
After being rambled on by Wangyou for a long time, Ma Wencai's frustration subsided. At that moment, shouts came from the street. It turned out that Liang Shanbo and Xun Jubo had rescued Zhu Yingtai, and then Master Chen was there for some reason. The group fled in a hurry.
"We've seen the excitement. I just saw a restaurant over there. Let's go have a drink!" Wangyou rubbed his hands together mischievously, glared at Qingzhu, and then grabbed Ma Wencai and ran off.
Qingzhu swallowed her words when her young master glared at her, so she could only hurry after Ma Tong.
When they arrived at the tavern, they saw that the two had already ordered their drinks. When they saw Qingzhu come in, Wangyou laughed and said, "Qingzhu, let me tell you, you are not allowed to tell your family about my drinking today, or I will not let you off the hook."
"Young master, drinking is bad for your health." Qingzhu hoped to dissuade Wangyou from drinking.
"I'll only drink a little bit. Besides, I'm all grown up now, not a child anymore. And even if I get drunk, you're still here for me!" Wangyou threatened and pleaded, and Qingzhu could only reluctantly agree.
Then, Qingzhu and Ma Tong stood on either side of the pile of things, watching the two of them drink. Goodness, anyone who didn't know better would think they were drinking water.
They had anticipated everything, but they hadn't expected Wangyou to be such a lightweight.
"Whose handsome young man is this? He's my type." Wangyou, her eyes glazed over, sat down next to Ma Wencai and began to grope him.
Qingzhu covered her face. She thought that after so long, the young master would at least have some alcohol tolerance, but he still passed out after just one cup. Oh no, she hoped that his identity would not be exposed!
"Forget-Me-Not, are you drunk?" Ma Wencai didn't believe that anyone could get drunk after just one drink.
"No, I'm not drunk. Look, I'm sitting perfectly still." Wangyou's voice was more like a girl's at this moment, soft and sweet, making him reluctant to argue with her.
"I'm really not drunk. Look at me, who am I?"
"You are... Ma Wencai, right! I haven't mistaken you for someone else!"
"Yes, you haven't mistaken me for someone else. Do you still remember who you are?"
"I, Xie Wangyou, the youngest of the Xie family... umm." Qingzhu quickly stuffed a pastry into Wangyou's mouth. When she's drunk, she really says everything.
"Young master, have some snacks, they're delicious."
"This isn't as good as the lotus flower pastry." Although Wangyou was disgusted, she still finished the pastry.
"Young master, it's getting late. Let's go back to the academy. I'll make you lotus flower pastries when we get back, okay?" Qingzhu just wanted to go back and go to sleep as soon as possible.
“Okay.” Wangyou nodded obediently, then stood up. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ma Wencai. “I’m not going with you. I’m going with him. He’s better looking than you.”
