Chu Qingchuan steadied herself, then got to her feet. She opened her hands like a peacock, and kicked one leg up mid air, making her look entirely like a majestic, white peacock. Swiftly, she spun around with her one foot planted on the floor, then spread her sleeve out in the air like dispersing mist. Both her arms crisscrossed in the air and made several strokes as if she was painting a lotus flower in the air.
She continued to spread her hands by her side, twisted her hip and turned her feet, as if she was showing off her painting. However, Xu Qingjue and Yu Wuhen only had eyes for the dancerâs seductive eyes.
...
After a second, Chu Qingchuan finally finished her âHundred Flowers Danceâ. During her dance, her gaze stopped on Yu Wuhen nine times.
The memory of the nine glorious times Chu Qingchuan looked at him instantly imprinted on his mind.
However, the expression on Xu Qingjueâs face looked disgruntled. Even non-experts understood the Hundred Flowers Dance. He could tell that Qingâer offered nine flowers in total, but they were all offered to Yu Wuhen. How could he not be mad?
After Chu Qingchuan finished her performance, the ten pink dancers left.
Completely transfixed on the dancer in white, Yu Wuhen clenched his fists.
Later, he had to confirm if it was really Chuchu or not.
On top of everything, Xu Qingjue felt even more annoyed with Yu Wuhen. âLord Yu, have you thought it through? Being trustworthy is the most important thing about a person. I hope you wonât go back on your word,â he said chillingly.
Clap clap! Yu Wuhen clapped with an unchanging expression on his face.
The door opened, and two men in gold masks with a man dressed in ash white clothes walked in.
That manâs hair grew only on the top and he had a short fringe, swept to both sides. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, which made him look very likeable.
But at that moment, his entire body was covered in red whip marks, and his face was pale-white. He must have suffered a serious beating.
Just then, two more men stepped inside. They carried a large crate and placed it down in front of Xu Qingjue.
Yu Wuhen didnât say another word, but ignored Xu Qingjue, led his men and walked straight ahead.
He clearly didnât want to have anything else to do with Xu Qingjue.
Chu Qingchuan had just walked to the rear courtyard and planned to change her clothes in the room, when a bag suddenly covered her head.
With a thump, someone hit Chu Qingchuan over the head and fainted.
The boss lady walked over and smirked. âGood job, you two! Quickly, send Qingâer off to the Xu family manor and donât stop.â
The two servants carried Chu Qingchuan out of the rear courtyard.
A short while later, a man with a gold mask found the boss lady. âThe lord of our castle would like to see you. He would like to invite you to his home.â
The boss lady hesitated for a moment. Lord Yu never went to brothels, so what did he want with her? She contemplated it for a moment, then nodded and smiled. âAlright, Iâll visit Lord Yu.â
Just then, the boss lady followed the servant to see Yu Wuhen.
The door opened and the boss lady stepped inside. âI wonder, what Lord Yu may want with an old Mama like me?â She said with a beaming smile.
Yu Wuhen fanned the leaves in his tea with the cup lid, then took a sip. âWho was that dancer in the white dress and veil today? I would like to meet her.â
âBu...â
âOne million taels.â
âBu...â
âFive million taels.â
âBut...â
âTen million taels.â
Just then, the boss lady regretted her sale so much that the veins in her neck look like they were going to burst. If she knew this was going to happen, she wouldnât have sold Qingâer off to Lord Xu.
All she had to do was let Lord Yu take a look at Qingâer her and she would have ten million taels in her hand! That kind of luck only comes by once in a hundred years!
Come to think of it, just how much money did Lord Yu have?
Why did ten million taels seem like ten taels to him?
Guiyi and Guier, who stool behind Yu Wuhen, pursed the corner of their lips in annoyance when they saw the astonished look on the boss ladyâs face.
She really had seen nothing yet.
From what they knew, Yu Wuhen can easily earn at least tens of millions of taels per day. To Yu Wuhen, ten million taels was nothing at all.
