Chapter 435 How did he steal Yu Baifeng’s limelight?
Shen Wantang was a little surprised: "So soon? Aunt Chu was released from the house. Didn't she find a place to hide?"
Qin Xin was also a little confused: "She should be hiding, right? Aunt Chu knew that the Yu family would not let her go, so why didn't she hide? Maybe she didn't hide deep enough and was found by the Yu family soon!"
"How does the Yu family plan to deal with her?"
"Master Yu has already sent her to the government, saying that they will deal with her impartially."
"The Yu family didn't want to give people a reason to talk about her, so they spared her life. However, if she goes to jail, her fate will be no better than death."
"This is what she deserves!"
Qin Xin was looking forward to Chu Yanluo being thrown into prison. She said in a crisp voice, "I heard that more than one person has had problems after using Aunt Chu's scar removal cream. Some people even developed symptoms of blindness. They are all going to the government to sue her!"
"So many people have problems, but what about Shendan Hall? No one wants to sue them?"
"No, Shendan Hall put all the blame on Aunt Chu. Not only did they ignore the girls who had problems after taking the medicine, they also sued Aunt Chu together with those girls!"
"What? They want to sue Aunt Chu too?"
"That's right. Shen Dan Tang said that Aunt Chu sold them the problematic medicine, causing them to lose their reputation and a large sum of money. They want her to pay them back!"
Shen Wantang shook his head after hearing this. Shendantang was very powerful because it had a strong backer.
Even she could see the problem with Chu Yanluo's medicine. She didn't believe that the people in Shendantang couldn't see it. They sold the medicine at a high price even though they knew there was a problem. They also set a threshold for buying the medicine. It was purely for the purpose of making money. They didn't care about the life and death of the girls who used the medicine.
"By the way, Princess, I heard something else."
"What's going on? Any new gossip?"
"Yes! The courtesan of Wanhua Tower was redeemed. It is said that it cost tens of thousands of taels of gold. Guess which nobleman redeemed her?"
Shen Wantang was stunned: "The courtesan of Wanhua Tower? But the girl named Xueluo?"
"Yes, it's her!"
Shen Wantang recalled that in her previous life, the one who redeemed Xue Luo was exactly the eldest son of the Yu family, Yu Baifeng.
Xue Luosheng was charming and beautiful, and she was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She could dance gracefully and beautifully, and she had a heavenly voice and could sing better than anyone else. Therefore, she had always been the cash cow of Wanhua Tower, and there were many noblemen who spent huge sums of money on her.
However, she is already 25 years old this year, which is too old for a place like Wanhua Tower. Moreover, because she injured her throat while serving drinks, her voice is not as nice as before.
Wanhua Tower had already prepared a new courtesan, who was only sixteen years old, young and beautiful, and most importantly, more obedient than Xueluo and easier to control.
Wanhua Tower had spread the word earlier that whoever was willing to pay ten thousand taels of gold could redeem Xue Luo, and in the future they would no longer have to share her with other men, but could take her home and keep her as their beautiful daughter.
Unfortunately, there were many men who coveted Xue Luo's beauty, but not many were willing to spend 12,000 taels of gold to redeem her.
First of all, ten thousand taels of gold is not a small amount of money, and not everyone can afford it.
Secondly, Xue Luo was too famous, and everyone knew that she had many patrons. Noblemen with a little family background were unwilling to bring a prostitute home for fear of being laughed at.
Thirdly, the nobleman who liked Xue Luo had already tasted the sweetness in Wanhua Tower. It was enough to have some fun for the novelty. There was no need to take her home. After all, there would be a new courtesan soon, right?
But Yu Baifeng was deeply in love with Xue Luo. If he was not short of money, he would have redeemed Xue Luo long ago.
In her previous life, Xue Luo was pregnant with his child, but Yu Baifeng was slow to come up with the gold to redeem her. Wanhua Tower was worried that Xue Luo would not be able to be sold for a good price with her big belly, so they gave her an abortion drug, and the child was gone. Later, Xue Luo injured her body and did not have any more children.
However, Yu Baifeng treated her as before. Because Xueluo was from Jiangnan, he later took her away from the capital and went to Jiangnan to serve as an official.
So, Qin Xin asked Shen Wantang to guess who redeemed Xue Luo, and she naturally thought it was Yu Baifeng.
However, she has always been cautious, and even if she knew the answer, she would not say it out loud, otherwise her words of foresight would easily arouse suspicion.
She smiled gently, with just the right amount of curiosity on her face, and her tone was also a little joking: "Which young master in the capital is so generous that he would spend tens of thousands of taels of gold to redeem the courtesan? Could it be our prince?"
Qin Xin was amused by her: "Even if our prince is willing, he is powerless. Where would he get the money? All the money is in your hands!"
Shen Wantang nodded: "So I should hold on to all the money. Otherwise, what if he really throws out ten thousand taels of gold and brings me back an oiran?"
Qin Xin agreed very much: "The Crown Prince's wife is very far-sighted! The Crown Prince should not have money in his hands!"
"Who redeemed Miss Xueluo?"
"It's the Second Young Master Gu from the Duke's Mansion! Today, everyone on the street is talking about this matter. They say that there is another love-sick man in our capital, and that's the Second Young Master Gu!"
Shen Wantang's smile froze on her face. Gu Qianhan? Why was it Gu Qianhan? Shouldn't it be Yu Baifeng?
Not to mention that it is impossible for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to allow Xue Luo, a prostitute, to enter. Just talking about Gu Qianhan himself, he was reborn, and he couldn't be unaware of the fact that Yu Baifeng redeemed Xue Luo in the previous life.
How did he steal Yu Baifeng's limelight?
on purpose?
Is there a conspiracy?
It can't be that he is attracted by Xue Luo's talent and beauty, right?
Or was he going to challenge Xiao Qingyuan again? Xiao Qingyuan brought a pregnant woman back to the palace, so Gu Qianhan was also going to bring a pregnant woman back?
But what is his purpose?
Shen Wantang thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out a clue. A genius's ideas are really hard to guess!
Sometimes she felt that it was better to be with someone like Xiao Qingyuan. She could see through all his thoughts and disguises at a glance, deal with them easily, and defeat Xiao Qingyuan in just a few words.
If it were Gu Qianhan, she would probably not be able to handle it.
Thinking of this, Shen Wantang took out Gu Qianhan's calligraphy and began to copy it.
It is said that handwriting reflects the character of the person. Gu Qianhan is an extraordinary person, and his handwriting is also extraordinary. If she learns his handwriting more, maybe she can learn a little bit of his style and spirit, which will improve her character and scheming to a higher level!
She can't guess some people's behavior, but that doesn't matter, she can learn!
Once she has accumulated to a certain level, she will naturally enter the next realm.
As the days passed and spring came and flowers bloomed, Shen Wantang's handwriting did not improve much. She vaguely felt that she seemed to have reached a bottleneck and it would be difficult to break through on her own.
Should I find an opportunity to ask Gu Qianhan for some advice?
