Thrown out of the house, the wet nurse enters the noble household and becomes a person of high statu

The Moonlit Pavilion is built by the river. The three-story vermilion building is brightly lit, and the sounds of silk and bamboo instruments mixed with bursts of laughter drift out.

As soon as she entered, the strong scent of perfume made Liu Wenying gasp for breath.

The women in the hall immediately surrounded the distinguished guest upon his arrival.

Chen Jinrui was a regular customer, and he led everyone to the private room on the third floor that he had booked all year round.

The door opened, revealing an extremely luxurious interior.

Several beautiful women were already waiting in the room. When they saw someone enter, they all curtsied and their voices were as sweet as nightingales.

"Welcome, gentlemen."

Chen Jinrui pushed Pei Yaojun to sit down in the main seat, then sat down next to him, and gave the women a wink.

"Today is Master Pei's coming-of-age ceremony, you all better show your best and serve him properly!"

Before the words were even finished, a fragrant breeze had already swept over.

Two women dressed in light gauze dresses nestled beside Pei Yaojun, one pouring wine from a pot, the other placing her hand on his shoulder.

"Third Master, my name is Lian Yue. I'd like to offer you a toast."

"Your humble servant Xiyun wishes that Third Master may have many more such days, and may every year bring you joy."

Perhaps because of the upright family traditions of the Duke's mansion, Pei Yaojun usually spent most of his time drinking with his cronies and never actually had any courtesans serve him.

The rich aroma made his temples throb, and he had to turn his head away from the glass of wine offered to his lips. "I can do it myself."

"Hey, Yaojun, you're not still a virgin, are you? Today, we brothers are going to teach you a lesson!"

Seeing this, Chen Jinrui laughed even harder and spoke shamelessly.

He clapped his hands to summon the madam and whispered a few instructions to her.

Before long, three more girls entered, each with a beautiful appearance and wearing light clothing.

Surrounded by people, Pei Yaojun's face grew increasingly grim. Even the slow-witted Pei Yaojun understood what Chen Jinrui was up to.

For young masters from families like theirs, the first step in their lives is usually to have a maidservant arranged by the elders of the household.

Only a very small number of dissolute individuals frequent brothels, such as Chen Jinrui.

Pei Yaojun pushed away another glass of wine offered to him, stood up to leave, and said, "I'm tired today, let's get together another day."

"Hey! Don't go!" Chen Jinrui grabbed him and gave him a wink.

The woman beside him, named Lianyue, understood and picked up her wine cup softly.

"Third Master, please don't be angry. It's our fault for not serving you properly. Consider this cup of wine an apology. Please drink it, and then we'll leave, okay?"

It was just a glass of wine, and Pei Yaojun took it and drank it all in one gulp.

Chen Jinrui clapped his hands: "That's more like it! Come on, let's keep drinking! We're not leaving until we're drunk. Don't take what happened earlier to heart."

Pei Yaojun was forced to stay; it seems they won't let him leave unless they get him drunk.

After several rounds of drinks, the playboys became increasingly unrestrained and dissolute.

Some were embracing and teasing girls, others were playing drinking games, and the noise was almost enough to lift the roof off.

"Yaojun, have another drink!"

Chen Jinrui came over again and poured the wine himself.

Pei Yaojun took the drink and his expression changed slightly. "Did you switch the wine? Why does it taste different?"

Chen Jinrui laughed and said, "Of course it's different. This is the Drunken Spring Breeze treasured by Mianyue Pavilion. If it weren't for today's special circumstances, I wouldn't be willing to spend so much."

Pei Yaojun didn't think much of it, but the more he drank, the more his body temperature rose and his breathing became more rapid than usual.

That's enough for today.

As soon as he stood up, before he could even take a step, he stumbled, and the woman beside him gently supported him with her delicate arm...

At the end of the long corridor on the third floor of Mianyue Pavilion, Liu Wenying pushed open a carved wooden window and took a deep breath of the night breeze.

Unable to bear the smoky atmosphere in the private room, she made an excuse to urinate and escape.

I'm leaning against the window now, looking down at the glitz and glamour of the lobby.

Between the vermilion railings and embroidered doors, dancers' flowing sleeves fluttered, and musicians gently plucked the strings.

Gold and silver flow like water, time slips away like sand – what a fleeting, dazzling dream!

"boom--"

The door to the private room was pushed open.

Liu Wenying turned around and saw Chen Jinrui and another playboy carrying Pei Yaojun out.

His eyes were closed, his face was flushed, his forehead was soaked with sweat, and he was practically hanging on them.

"What happened?" Liu Wenying asked anxiously.

"Yaojun has had too much to drink and is insisting on going back."

Liu Wenying made a quick decision: "This servant will go back to the manor to fetch someone right away."

"Hey, wait a minute!" Chen Jinrui called out to her. "If you go, it'll cause a huge commotion. The Duke's mansion is heavily guarded. How are you going to get through the back door at this hour? And even if you do, how are you going to explain it to the gatekeeper?"

They had witnessed firsthand the family traditions of the Duke of Yu's mansion, and they were well aware that Pei Yaojun had repeatedly climbed over the wall to sneak out of the mansion.

"What should we do then?" Liu Wenying looked at Pei Yaojun, who was unconscious, and was at a loss.

How could a woman like herself possibly bring such a large man back to her home?

Chen Jinrui's eyes darted around: "I've booked a private room on the second floor. Help Yaojun there to rest. He can go back on his own when he sobers up at dawn."

Liu Wenying didn't really want to spend the night in the brothel.

Chen Jinrui added, "Don't worry, that room is quiet and no one will disturb him. Just keep an eye on him at night, give him some water, and he'll recover soon."

Another playboy chimed in, "That's right, that's right, it's better than going back to the manor and having Yaojun punished by the family."

Their masters already had their own plans, so how could they possibly take Liu Wenying's thoughts to heart?

Helpless, Liu Wenying had no choice but to follow Pei Yaojun into the room.

The soundproofing in the rooms of Mianyue Pavilion is excellent, making them much quieter, and the furnishings are also elegant.

Liu Wenying helped Pei Yaojun to lie down on the couch, took off his boots, and then pulled the brocade quilt over him.

As Chen Jinrui was about to leave after settling in, he whispered something in the ear of the drowsy Pei Yaojun.

"Brothers have prepared some good things for you. Don't let our good intentions go to waste when you wake up."

He spoke very softly, and Liu Wenying was too far away to hear him.

"Take good care of her," Chen Jinrui said to Liu Wenying as he stood up.

"This servant understands."

Chen Jinrui had drunk quite a bit of alcohol; he was like a walking wine jar, emitting a strong stench.

After Liu Wenying finished speaking, she held her breath and waited for him to leave.

Just as he was about to reach the door, Liu Wenying was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw him pause, his gaze sweeping over her.

Under the light, her slightly loosened dress revealed a section of her fair neck, her slender waist was cinched so tightly that one could encircle her breasts proudly.

Chen Jinrui, intoxicated, had a lewd glint in his eyes. He suddenly turned back and reached out to pinch her chin.

"I didn't look closely before, but now that I'm taking a closer look, she's quite a beauty."

He laughed flippantly.

Liu Wenying stepped back, her knee hitting the edge of the bed.

"Young Master Chen, please have some self-respect. This servant is from the Duke of Yu's mansion."

"What's wrong with the people from the Duke of Yu's mansion? They're just servants. Once Yaojun wakes up, I'll ask him for you. Do you think he'll refuse?"

As he spoke, he grabbed her sleeve, intending to take her away and tease her.

Just as Liu Wenying was about to break free, a hoarse voice came from behind her.

"Chen Er".

Pei Yaojun propped himself up and leaned against the headboard.

His face was still flushed and his breathing was erratic, but his peach blossom eyes were filled with frost.

What happened to the people from the Duke of Yu's mansion?

He repeated his words, unhurriedly, but the gritted teeth in his voice were enough to make Chen Jinrui's expression change drastically.

Chen Jinrui chuckled and let go, "I was just... joking."

Pei Yaojun didn't reply, his gaze seemingly tangible, while Chen Jinrui gave a dry laugh.

"Then you should rest well. I'll be going now and come see you again tomorrow."

As he spoke, he retreated towards the door. When his hand touched the latch, he turned back and gave Pei Yaojun a meaningful smile.

"You'd better enjoy yourself tonight, don't waste the brothers' good intentions."

The door creaked shut, and the room fell silent once more.

Pei Yaojun maintained his half-supported posture, his chest heaving and the veins on his forehead bulging.

Liu Wenying called softly, "Third Master, are you alright?"
