Chapter 914: Chapter 916 The Death of Jin Guifei (8)

There was also ginseng. Her Canhangli would soon become the largest in the Great Jin Nation. If she didn’t have a supply channel, selling so much high-quality ginseng out of thin air would surely draw attention. Therefore, she had to pretend to buy some cheap young ginseng in the Lingbei region. After all, no one would be so idle as to verify what type of ginseng she had actually purchased in Lingbei. Even if someone did check, there would be no way to verify it, so it was perfectly acceptable to claim that all the century-old ginseng in her shop was sourced from Lingbei!

When Sun Hu and Sun Bao heard Cai Wei instruct them to go to King Qin’s Mansion to find her, they were both a bit stunned. King Qin’s Mansion was an unattainable place, somewhere these commoners wouldn’t even dare to dream of visiting.

"Miss, are you..."

"You do not need to inquire about our master’s identity. Just do what you have been tasked with, and that will be enough!"

Zhao Yun took out a silver ingot weighing ten taels and handed it to Sun Hu. "Take this silver for your expenses. When we need you, our master will send someone to find you at Qin An Inn."

"Yes!"

The brothers bowed respectfully and withdrew. Both felt as though they had stumbled upon great fortune and had met a noble. Considering the miss’s grandeur, she must be someone immensely prestigious, perhaps even the Wife of King Qin herself!

Having dispatched the Sun brothers, Cai Wei and her group then embarked on their long journey to find a shop. It was nearly noon, and the weather was becoming hotter. Cai Wei fanned herself and walked leisurely on the street. As they passed ’Ju Fu De’ Restaurant, Cai Wei felt a bit hungry and waved her fan, "Let’s go, I’ll treat you all to a meal downstairs!"

True to its reputation as the number one restaurant in the Great Jin Nation, ’Ju Fu De’ was always bustling with customers. Cai Wei led Zhao Yun and the others upstairs, heading straight for a private room. As they passed a gorgeously decorated elegant room, the door suddenly opened, and a richly dressed woman with a beautiful appearance walked out, waving her fan and followed by two maids.

As the woman passed by Zhao Yun, she looked at her disdainfully and viciously said, "What kind of ghoul is this? With such looks, you should hide at home instead of flaunting yourself in public, utterly shameless."

Just as the door opened, Cai Wei caught a glimpse inside the woman’s room, where she saw some young noblemen passing cups and exchanging toasts, surrounded by a few heavily made-up women sitting on their laps, playing coy. Clearly, this woman was nothing more than a courtesan; otherwise, she wouldn’t behave so frivolously.

She stopped, watching coldly to see how Zhao Yun would react to the woman.

However, Zhao Yun acted as if she hadn’t heard a thing and continued on her way without so much as a flicker of her eyebrows.

Chun Liu, being younger and less patient, especially since she greatly admired Zhao Yun, couldn’t stand seeing her aggrieved and blurted out indignantly, "So what if someone is ugly? It’s still better than being a fawning courtesan!"

The glamorous woman, upon hearing this, became furious and pointing at Chun Liu, yelled, "You little slut, who exactly are you slandering?"

Chun Liu, hands on hips, retorted angrily, "Whichever courtesan admits it, that’s the one."

Upon hearing this, the woman’s eyebrows stood on end in anger. She quickly slapped each of her accompanying maids across the face and scolded, "You worthless sluts, don’t you see I’m being bullied? Aren’t you going to tear that wretch’s mouth for me, or are you waiting for me to do it myself?"

Two maids were dizzy from being hit and hastily rolled up their sleeves to rush over.

Auntie Liu, seeing this, also rolled up her sleeves and charged over, ready to brawl with them. Zhao Yun pulled Chun Liu behind her and watched with a stern face as the two maids charged at them, clenching her fists.

After the two maids rushed over, they reached out to grab Chun Liu who was behind Zhao Yun but were blocked by Auntie Liu and Zhao Yun. Four women were now tangled in a fight. Auntie Liu was a strong and robust woman, obviously more capable of fighting than the young maids. Although Zhao Yun was not adept at fighting, Chun Liu ferociously joined in to help, and two against one naturally left the maids powerless to fight back.

The shop assistant, seeing the fight, hurried to mediate from the sidelines but dared not reach out to break it up, because they were all girls, and he might be blamed if anything went wrong.

Passing customers who saw the women fighting all rushed over with gleeful looks to watch, even the young masters from the room of the gorgeous woman were disturbed and came out to see what was happening.

These young masters were wearing extremely exquisite clothes and adorned with precious stones and the like—in terms of attire, they were not inferior to Nangong Yi at all. One of them, she recognized, was Young Master Ji who had harassed Fei’er here last time.

Upon seeing her patrons arrive, the woman immediately threw herself into Young Master Ji’s arms in a delicate manner and said tremulously, "Young Master Ji, they are bullying me and beat up my maids. I am so scared..."

Young Master Ji couldn’t care less about the women fighting and, while shaking his fan, laughed heartily, "Fight, fight hard! Whoever wins, I’ll reward her with one hundred taels of silver."

While saying this, he also directed the maids who had come with him, "You guys, join in the fight, that little girl can be let off; but go for that ugly woman, and the old hag too. If they get beaten to death, it’s on me."

Hearing this, a swarm of maids surged forward, eager to grab Zhao Yun and Auntie Liu and beat them violently.

Cai Wei quickly stepped forward, pulling Zhao Yun behind her while retreating she said to the young masters, "I’ve heard that Empress Jin passed away this morning. It’s rare for the young masters to still be in the mood for drinking and visiting brothels. Aren’t you afraid that this might reach The Emperor’s ears and incur His Majesty’s displeasure?"

As she spoke, the maids had already rushed to Cai Wei’s face, reaching out to hit her, when suddenly a cold voice commanded, "Stop!"

Young Master Ji turned around and saw another young master shaking his fan, and said, "Brother Li, are you scared? Rest assured, I’ll take care of everything. We just need to enjoy ourselves."

The young master called Brother Li responded, "Young Master Ji, let’s forget about this and go back to drinking."

Young Master Ji was not pleased and retorted, "Hey, Brother Li, I can’t believe you, the eldest son of the Great General’s Mansion, would be frightened by a few simple words from a green girl. Aren’t you embarrassed?"

After speaking, he loudly shouted to the maids, "Why have you stopped? Keep fighting! Even that slut wearing the gauze hat, beat her too, let’s see if she dares to spread false alarm again. Today, I’ll make sure she crawls around looking for teeth!"
