Chapter 1600: 1600 Yuchuan’s asking price is 1

Moreover, every time young Master Xiao visited, after enjoying the singing and dancing in the hall, he would always request her performance exclusively.

During the ten nights she had interacted with young Master Xiao, their time together could be considered quite pleasant.

Although, when they were in the private room, he would just silently drink wine while she played the zither and sang for him.

Other customers who requested her service, although she accompanied without selling her body and they couldn’t possess her, all had a look of eager lust on their faces.

Only young Master Xiao never laid a hand on her, and even when she took the initiative to get closer, he stopped her.

He spent money without batting an eye and was believed to be a big spender; he would probably be happy to spend 10,000 taels for her first night.

Moreover...

Not to mention that she was actually willing to choose him, even if she wasn’t, there was no other option, because... Lady Feng intended for her to choose Xiao Yuchuan.

Although she did not know what kind of abacus Lady Feng was playing.

Lady Feng took orders from the hidden boss of Secret Fragrance and Sparse Shadows; Lady Feng’s intent was that of the boss’s.

She had been in this brothel for five years and had not yet seen who the hidden boss was, only knowing it to be the Tianji Pavilion young Master.

Thus, being able to follow her own heart and abide by the arrangements from above was the best outcome.

"Hmph, truly a heartless bitch, and an ungrateful actor!" Ministry Councillorr Qian became annoyed and yelled at Hua Xiang, "I’ve spent so much money on you, but after all is said and done, no matter how famous you are, you’re just someone out to sell your body. You sell one night to him for 10,000 taels, to me it’s 100,000 taels. The remaining ninety thousand taels would be enough for you to live lavishly for a lifetime! Do you really think he would marry you? After tonight, you are no more than a wilted flower and a defeated willow!"

Tears welled up in Hua Xiang’s eyes as she took the insult, "Xiang’er knows well that she has fallen into hardship, despised by many. My family was poor and sold me into the house; I was helpless. I thought of death, but it’s better to cling to a wretched life than to die. I also know Ministry Councillorr Qian’s kindness, and 100,000 taels of silver is an extraordinary offer. However, Xiang’er has always viewed wealth as external to oneself, even if she were to marry into a good life, she does not need to be rich and noble. Now, I just want to give my purity to a man I fancy, I beg Ministry Councillorr Qian to be understanding!"

The tears of a beautiful woman, her fair skin and charming demeanor, could move the heart of any man.

"I never expected Miss Hua Xiang to be so pure, even disinterested in money," a man exclaimed in intoxication, continuous praises followed, all advising Ministry Councillorr Qian not to coerce her.

Ministry Councillorr Qian pitied the beauty and softened his anger, "Fine, since you’re giving your first night to him anyway, and he won’t marry you, I will wait for tomorrow night to come for you. I have plenty of money and am not afraid of not getting my hands on you!" With that, he flung his sleeves and left.

"young Master Xiao?" Hua Xiang looked at Xiao Yuchuan with anticipation and anxiety.

He looked like an outsider, holding a wine cup in his hand and finished the wine in one gulp.

"Mr. Xiao, you should say something," urged a male guest who couldn’t have Hua Xiang, unable to restrain himself, "Miss Hua Xiang’s first night is worth 100,000 taels, and you get it for 10,000 taels, you’re getting a huge bargain. What if you don’t want it?"

Another guest chimed in, "If you don’t want her, I will!"

The brothel madam Lady Feng came over, smiling obsequiously, "young Master Xiao, what do you say?"

"Two hundred thousand taels," Xiao Yuchuan said a few words.

For a moment, the roomful of male guests quieted down, some with their jaws nearly dropping at the sight of Mr. Xiao’s more astonishing offer than even Ministry Councillorr Qian’s – throwing out yet another astronomical bid!

Hua Xiang thought she had heard wrong and stuttered, "young Master... young Master Xiao..."
