Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Handsome Men Keep Chasing After Me

Chapter 96

Nalan Ge had given up bidding, because she had realized that the other party was deliberately trying to go against her. No matter how much silver she offered, the other party would always offer one or two more to keep up with her. She had no choice but to give up this opportunity.

But the next opportunity would be another six months away, and she didn't have that much time left, so she had to find another way.

In the end, Nalan Jingwen bought Hongyuan's virginity for 3,501 taels of silver.

Hongyuan was brought up by the madam. When she saw the people in the room, her expression changed several times, but she didn't say much. She just nudged Hongyuan next to her.

"Go to the prince quickly."

Hong Yuan glanced at the glasses pool and Nalan Yin, pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, clearly showing some resistance. A hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, which Nalan Jingwen accurately caught.

Bringing two men to the Red Mansion and having such a lavish affair, anyone who saw it would think the same thing.

While she understands that these men are forced into this brothel by societal pressures or other unspeakable reasons, it doesn't mean that Nalan Jingwen will tolerate their personal emotions. No one pays money to suffer, even if her purpose isn't with him.

Before she could speak, Nalan Yin spoke up first. He sneered and said sarcastically, "So this is how the Red Passion Pavilion teaches people to put on airs for their guests? She spent so much money, and she still hasn't learned the proper etiquette. What kind of guests is she serving?"

Nalan Jingwen looked at him in surprise. Was this person standing up for her?

The madam was taken aback by these words and subconsciously looked at Nalan Jingwen, who was simply sitting there calmly drinking tea, clearly letting Nalan Yin go. The madam immediately realized what was happening and turned to Hongyuan with a stern face, saying, "What are you standing here for? Hurry up and go serve the prince!"

Hong Yuan remained unwilling, her disgust intensifying, as if she intended to defy authority to the very end.

Nalan Yin reached out to touch a piece of pastry, but Nalan Jingwen slapped the back of his hand. Although the slap was not hard, his originally fair skin immediately turned red. Nalan Jingwen even wondered if his delicate skin was really the result of suffering in the palace.

Nalan Yin glared at her with some resentment, then turned to look at Hong Yuan and said with a smile, "Hong Yuan, right? As far as I know, you weren't sold into the Red Passion Pavilion, were you? You signed the indenture voluntarily. No one forced you. Since no one forced you, why are you pretending to be such a chaste and virtuous man?"

"If you want to make money, don't put on airs. You need to understand that it's not you who chooses the customers, but the customers who choose you."

Nalan Jingwen stopped drinking tea and his gaze on Nalan Yin became increasingly deep and inquisitive. Even Jingchi, who usually didn't care about anything else, looked at Nalan Yin for the first time, his brows furrowing slightly.

Being spoken to like this was tantamount to trampling his self-esteem into the ground, and his hands hanging at his sides trembled.

Although his tone was calm and his expression was smiling, his words were extremely sarcastic and cutting.

Seeing this, the madam was surprised that the man beside Nalan Jingwen was so sharp-tongued and showed no mercy. However, since the man was brought by Nalan Jingwen, he had no choice but to step in and smooth things over.

"It's our fault for not disciplining you properly and disturbing your mood. How about this, Hongqing Pavilion will refund you five hundred taels. We hope Your Highness will be magnanimous and forgive Hongyuan for her rudeness this time."

Nalan Jingwen then glanced at him. "Since that's the case, if I were to pursue this further, it would seem that I'm being unreasonable. Let's leave it at that."

The madam's smile was stiff, but she could only nod repeatedly.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I'll take my leave now. Have a pleasant time."

"Wait."

Nalan Jingwen called out to him, saying, "You stay, he goes out."

"what?"

The madam looked around, then at herself, and finally at the bewildered Hongyuan beside her. Pointing at herself, she said, "Me?"

Nalan Jingwen nodded, "It's you."

The madam almost couldn't keep up the smile on her face.

"Your Highness, I'm already this old, you see..."

Nalan Jingwen said impatiently, "I will only say this once: everyone leave, you stay."

Hongyuan was the first to go out, followed by Chunhe Huayue, and then Jingchi.

Nalan Jingwen turned to look at the unmoved Nalan Yin, who looked puzzled. "I want to go out too?"

Nalan Jingwen nodded, "Wait for me outside with Jingchi."

Seeing that she was serious, Nalan Yin didn't say anything more. She glanced at the brothel owner standing there trembling with fear, then pushed open the door and went out.

After everyone had left, Nalan Jingwen said leisurely, "The Red Love Pavilion holds a flower queen auction every six months, while other red brothels do it every two months. Can you tell me why?"

The madam was taken aback and immediately said, "Things are valued for their rarity. Our Red Passion Pavilion's top courtesan is always one in a thousand. How can those common girls compare to us? If it's only once every two months, people will lose interest if it happens too often. Who will still buy her then?"

Nalan Jingwen nodded in agreement, but continued, "If we also inform the guests about this information, I'm afraid that even with your monthly auction of the most beautiful courtesan, countless people will still be vying for that qualification."

As soon as she finished speaking, the madam's expression suddenly changed. He looked at Nalan Jingwen, who remained relaxed and expressionless.

The madam's smile vanished, and she said seriously, "Since Your Highness knows about this matter, I won't beat around the bush. It is indeed true. May I ask what Your Highness wishes to ask?"

"You know everything?"

The madam smiled, a rare look of confidence on her face.

"Please feel free to ask. There is nothing in these four countries that our Red Passion Pavilion does not know."

Nalan Jingwen's eyes were deep, so the Red Passion Pavilion was not only in Fengtian Capital, but their influence spread throughout the four kingdoms?

It seems that the Red Passion Pavilion's power is greater than she imagined.

She looked at him, her expression shifting slightly.

"I want to know where my husband, Liu Qishan, is now."

Unexpectedly, the madam's smile froze on his face upon hearing this. Upon seeing this, Nalan Jing immediately said, "Didn't you say that there was nothing in the Four Kingdoms that you didn't know?"

The madam's face looked rather grim.

“We do know about what happened in the four countries, but your husband…”

Nalan Jingwen stared intently at him with his dark eyes, his aura chilling, as if he could instantly behead him if he uttered a single word that Nalan Jingwen disliked.

“He is not within the four kingdoms…we cannot find out.”

Nalan Jing heard this and accurately grasped the meaning behind his words.

Liu Qishan disappeared within Fengtian territory, but the madam said he is no longer within the four kingdoms, which means...

Liu Qishan did not die.

He didn't die...

Realizing this, she suddenly felt her eyes sting and become moist.

Her tragic fate is not yet over...
