Chapter 487: Lady Wu has found out about this
For two consecutive days, the eldest princess was in the Princess's Mansion, sometimes hysterical and sometimes sitting in a daze talking to herself.
Finally, on the third day, the eldest princess called her son to her again.
After greeting, the young man stood aside with his hands hanging down, not daring to make a sound.
"If you're still my son, find a way to bring your father back!" The princess looked at her son standing beside her. "You're the only man in this mansion now!" She seemed to calm down a bit, but the young man could sense the suppressed anger in her calm tone.
Chen Jianian had been detained at home for three days. When he heard this, he didn't dare to say much. He just bowed and agreed, then left the house.
"Sir, how about we go and kneel before the Prince Consort?" His servant was waiting outside the door. Seeing his master come out, he hurried over and whispered, "The Prince Consort loves you so much, he would definitely not bear to see you kneeling for so long!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chen Jianian raised his foot and kicked him on the waist, immediately kicking him backwards.
"Why are you kneeling?" Chen Jianian's eyes flickered with a sinister look, a stark contrast to his timid demeanor. "He won't see me, and I'm going to kneel down to him? This is outrageous! Don't you see who's in charge here? If you can come up with any good ideas, then do it. If you can't, then don't talk nonsense in front of me!"
He just received a scolding from the princess, and this time he took it out on his own servant.
The servant quickly got up and said with a smile, "Your Highness is right. That consort is just a foil for Her Highness the Princess! Now that the Princess wants you to invite him back, what are you going to do?"
"What can I do if he refuses to come back? Why bother involving me in their affairs?" Chen Jianian snorted, "I'm going to have fun on my own! I'm telling you, I'm going to take you out for some fun, so watch your mouth and think carefully about what you should and shouldn't say!"
"Yes, yes, yes." The servant nodded quickly, "I understand. Then where are we going to play, my lord?"
"Where else can we go?" Chen Jianian rolled his eyes at the boy.
The servant immediately understood and said happily, "That place is good, it's quiet there! It's perfect for the prince to hide there!"
Only then did a faint smile appear on Chen Jianian's face.
Chen Jianian went to a place called Jingshui Yaju in the west of the city. Chen Jianian was also turning fifteen this year. For her sister's fifteenth birthday, her mother had invited half the city's nobles, but when it came to her fifteenth birthday, hers was just average. According to the eldest princess, a girl's fifteenth birthday was a coming-of-age ceremony, so naturally, it had to be a grand occasion. A boy's fifteenth was not as important as a girl's.
We will hold a grand ceremony for him when he reaches the age of coming of age.
Although he said so, Chen Jianian was still unhappy in his heart. Fortunately, he had a group of good friends, including the legitimate son of the Duke of Anguo named Qian Yuanhai and the sons of several other nobles. These friends booked the Jingshui Yaju place, saying that it would broaden his horizons.
The name of Jingshui Yaju sounds elegant, but it is actually a brothel.
However, this brothel is different from other ones. They only accept children of nobles and wealthy families, and to enter Jingshui Yaju, one needs to be led by someone.
There are not only all kinds of charming women, but also all kinds of young men. As long as you can afford it or your status is high enough, you can have fun here.
Because Jingshui Yaju is not open to the public, few ordinary people outside know that it is a brothel.
Chen Jianian only went there once, and it was like the door to another world was opened.
Although the eldest prince was in charge, he always found some time to sneak over and have fun. He used to go with Qian Yuanhai, but Qian Yuanhai fell ill last year and could not go with him. But it didn't matter. With his status and position, he was now a distinguished guest of Jingshui Yaju.
He had a lover in Jingshui Yaju, a very charming woman, who was also the one who took his virginity, her name was Li Niang.
He liked Li Niang, not only because of her outstanding appearance, but also because he could get relaxation and happiness from her that he could not get anywhere else.
Li Niang never cared about him or restrained him, and would even play with him. Even if he chose other women or boys for sex, Li Niang would still be there to accompany him.
He is particularly dependent on Li Niang.
Li Niang taught him what the ultimate bliss on earth is and what it means to be so happy that you forget the world.
Soon, he sat in front of Li Niang's house.
Normally, he would come here without anyone notifying him. But today, he came without anyone notifying Li Niang. He wanted to give her a surprise.
But today, when he arrived at Li Niang's house and was about to push the door open, he heard someone whispering inside. Chen Jianian had an idea and put his ear to the door.
"Li Niang, what should we do now?" A slightly old woman's voice came, full of fear.
Chen Jianian recognized the voice. It was the voice of Wan Mama, the madam of Jingshui Yaju.
"What are you panicking about?" Li Niang's voice came, "What's so scary about Lady Wu finding out about this? That little bitch is already dead, there's no evidence. Besides, their eldest son doesn't only look for girls here! There's no reason to say he contracted the disease here!"
Sick? Chen Jianian immediately became more energetic when he heard this. He knew that the eldest son of the Wuguo Mansion, Qian Yuanhai, had been ill last year. At one time, there were rumors in the capital that he would not survive this summer. However, it was already early autumn, and the Anguo Mansion had not announced the death. This meant that Qian Yuanhai was not dead yet!
Judging from Li Niang's tone, Qian Yuanhai's ice is related to this place?
"But our account book is lost!" Mother Wan said anxiously, "It records the money used to buy medicine for that little hoof! If Lady Wu finds out, we won't be able to explain ourselves!"
"I've told you a long time ago not to keep a record of everything, but you just wouldn't listen! You even wrote down the shit our watchdog took! Look what's going on now!" Li Niang was also a little anxious, and her voice was a few decibels higher.
Originally, when a person died, there was no evidence. But who knew that the madam was a money-grubber and would record every penny she spent. Now, with the record of buying medicine, there is also a record of who came to see the doctor.
This account book was lost not earlier or later, but at this time. What does this mean?
The wife of Duke Wu is not a fool. As long as the account book is in her hands, she can find the doctor who treated Xiao Cuiling at that time and ask him, and she will know the real cause of Xiao Cuiling's death!
Not to mention, this account book is actually right in front of the wife of Duke Wu.
The account book appeared on her dressing table for no reason after she got up in the morning.
When she first saw the account book, she was shocked and almost called for help, but she saw a note on the account book with words written on it, which made her stop thinking about calling for the assassin to be caught.
