The Deepest Affection in Qin's Time

"Who is this girl?" Han Fei couldn't help but ask Cao Yuan.

"Nongyu..." Cao Yuan muttered to himself, then shook his head.

How would I know?

He pondered how he could fulfill Madam Hu's wish and let her see Nongyu.

Before Cao Yuan could figure things out, Nongyu seemed to have discovered them and quietly left with her zither.

Then, a purple figure appeared on the railing, looking at them with an elegant smile.

"Distinguished guests, Zilan Pavilion does not receive guests during the day."

Cao Yuan looked at Zi Nu on the second floor.

Perhaps because it was just morning, Zi Nu's long hair was not fully tied up, but only held back with a hairpin inlaid with amethyst. The rest of her purple hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, with a few strands clinging to her swan-like, slender neck, trembling gently with her breath, exuding a unique charm.

Han Fei didn't have as much appreciation for beauty as Cao Yuan.

He smiled and said to Zi Nu, "Miss Zi Nu, you misunderstand. We are not here as guests, but to find someone."

Zi Nu chuckled, "I wonder which of the sisters from Zi Lan Xuan is Ninth Young Master looking for?"

Han Fei explained, "I'm not looking for them, I'm looking for a man with white hair."

Zi Nu chuckled: "Ninth Young Master is quite interesting. Not only does he come to Zi Lan Pavilion during the day, but he also comes here to find men."

Han Fei scratched his head awkwardly, "It is indeed a bit strange, haha, please forgive me, Miss Zi Nu."

Zi Nu chuckled and turned her gaze to Cao Yuan.

"Is Mr. Cao Yuan, like Young Master Jiu, also looking for a man at Zilan Pavilion?"

Cao Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Of course not. I came to see Miss Zi Nu. I've missed her very much these past few days."

He definitely doesn't want to get involved with Han Fei right now; it would be too embarrassing if word got out later.

Two grown men come to a brothel, not to find girls, but to find men. If word gets out, what will become of them?

With a charming smile, Zi Nu walked down the stairs with cat-like steps.

She was still wearing a purple dress today, with the hem slit high up to her thighs, and as she walked, her straight and slender legs, wrapped in black stockings, could be vaguely seen.

Even through the black stockings, one could still vaguely sense the delicate, jade-like skin on Zi Nu's thighs.

Such an appearance and demeanor, if placed on an ordinary woman, would certainly leave people with the impression of a seductive and cheap woman.

But Zi Nu is different. She only has sexiness and charm that is etched into her bones, without any deliberate flirtatiousness.

Because in her eyes, there is always a sense of detachment that is hard to fathom.

Zi Nu walked up to Cao Yuan and said gently with a smile, "Speaking of longing, the two young ladies in my pavilion miss you very much, sir."

"They felt empty and lonely after just a few days without seeing you, sir. They were practically begging you to come and fulfill their longing."

Cao Yuan thought for a moment and knew who Zi Nu was referring to.

He wasn't sure if Little Red Fish and Little Butterfly were really thinking of him, but he knew that Purple Maiden was probably just being polite to him.

Yes, it's just polite talk full of romantic undertones.

Cao Yuan admired the delicate collarbone and a small patch of fair, jade-like skin that were exposed, and of course, he wouldn't miss Zi Nu's breathtaking, almost perfect figure.

It has to be said that Zi Nu's figure ranks among the top three he has ever seen.

With a gentle tightening of the belt, her slender waist was breathtakingly outlined.

In particular, the sudden narrowing of the skirt's curves creates an extreme contrast with the full, perky buttocks below, making every slight turn reveal a captivating curve.

"Does Miss Zi Nu want me to redeem Hong Yu and Cai Die from their bonds?"

Cao Yuan casually responded to Zi Nu, his eyes fixed on her without blinking.

Zi Nu felt a little uncomfortable under Cao Yuan's gaze, and smiled sweetly, "Zi Lan Xuan doesn't have a rule about letting people out."

She has too many secrets here, so naturally she won't let her sisters leave.

Of course, it was also for the safety of the sisters. After all, without the protection of Zilan Pavilion, their beauty could very well turn them into playthings.

She has witnessed too much injustice in the world.

"That would be such a shame," Cao Yuan sighed. "I actually really wanted to marry Miss Zi Nu and give the sisters-in-law of Zi Lan Xuan a warm home."

Zi Nu was clearly surprised that Cao Yuan would have such "ambitions". She paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "What you said, sir... is really interesting."

Although she really liked the poem Cao Yuan wrote for her that night.

But she was not a young girl in the bloom of youth, so naturally she would not fall in love with Cao Yuan and marry him just because of a good poem he wrote.

So she just sent Hongyu and Caidie over.

Two virgins were enough for her.

Not to mention that Cao Yuan even had designs on her group of sisters.

This left her somewhat speechless.

Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?

Han Fei stood beside Cao Yuan, his eyes twitching the entire time.

His brother Cao... is truly something else.

He only came to Zilanxuan to find a man.

Cao Yuan, on the other hand, wanted to take all the women from Zilan Pavilion with him. Really…

He quickly changed the subject, asking, "Miss Zi Nu, is there a white-haired young man in Zi Lan Xuan?"

Zi Nu smiled gently: "Please forgive me for not being able to tell Ninth Prince this question."

Han Fei was not disappointed; instead, he laughed. "It seems he does indeed have a connection with Zilan Pavilion."

Zi Nu remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Cao Yuan laughed and said, "It's more than just a relationship; he might even be another owner of Zilan Pavilion."

Zi Nu's purple eyes widened slightly.

Han Fei knew of Wei Zhuang's existence, which did not surprise her.

Because whenever Han Fei comes to Zilan Pavilion, Wei Zhuang will secretly observe Han Fei, not to mention that last night Wei Zhuang deliberately let Han Fei see him.

But how did Cao Yuan find out?

It's fine if I know.

They even knew that Wei Zhuang was the key to Zi Lan Xuan's foothold in Xinzheng.

Han Fei said in surprise and doubt, "No way, a ghost... how could it possibly open..."

Could it be that Brother Cao was right?

Was Zilanxuan opened by Wei Zhuang, a descendant of Guiguzi?

What kind of work did the other Guigu disciple who served as a guard do?

Also, does this Guigu disciple who runs a brothel really collect protection money?

Han Fei shook his head. This world is too crazy.

A disciple of Guiguzi runs a brothel, collects protection money, and acts as a bodyguard...

I really don't know why people in the martial arts world say that this is the most outstanding successor of Guiguzi in hundreds of years.

Cao Yuan chuckled and said, "Why not? Brother Han will gradually come to understand Brother Wei Zhuang's taste."

Zi Nu looked at Cao Yuan with a hint of wariness.

This person knew more than she had expected.

It should be noted that most of the forces in Xinzheng only know that Zilanxuan is related to the successor of Guigu.

However, no one can confirm which of Guiguzi's disciples it was.

Cao Yuan was surprised to learn that Wei Zhuang already knew of his existence.

Really...

Zi Nu said calmly, "I'll have Hong Yu and Cai Die come over now."

She made up her mind instantly: she had to get Hongyu and Caidie to capture Cao Yuan and extract information from him.

At all costs and by all means!

Chapter 95 She feels most sorry for her brother.

The ancients really knew how to have fun.

This was Cao Yuan's first thought after entering the elegant bathing room and hearing Hong Yu and Cai Die introduce the bathtub.

It's already October, late autumn, and the weather is getting cold.

Inside the elegant room, two bronze stoves were set up, with charcoal burning brightly inside, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The ground was covered with a dark yellow rattan mat, on which sat an enormous wooden basin, about five feet wide and nearly six feet long, resembling a small boat that could be rowed on water.

As for why Cao Yuan said that the ancients knew how to have fun?

It was none other than this enormous bathtub used for bathing, which was extremely unique and elaborate.

Besides its extraordinary decoration, it is exceptionally well-made, and traces of mechanical art are clearly visible.

This gives this huge bathtub many clever uses.

For example, there are various horizontal boards in the bathtub, so you can sit or lie down while bathing. You can also place fruits, vegetables, snacks, wine, etc. on the horizontal board.

They ate, drank, and played, enjoying the company of beautiful women bathing and serving them – a truly delightful experience.

Of course, if that were all, it wouldn't be surprising.

Cao Yuan watched as Cai Die took out a horizontal board with holes, and after listening to Cai Die's explanation, he was greatly impressed.

So this is actually for sitting on.

As for who was sitting there...
