Luo Jiuli raised his head and looked at the housekeeper.
"Steward Zhang, is it really true that the Du family master came to see my second brother?"
Butler Zhang nodded.
"Yes, this young master of the Du family is Du Qilin, the legitimate son of the cabinet scholar Du Heng. He is studying in the academy with the second young master. A few days ago, his grandmother was seriously ill and he returned to the capital."
Luo Jiuli raised his eyebrows.
"Then what disease does the old lady of the Du family have? Has she gotten better?"
The butler shook his head.
"I don't know."
Luo Jiuli didn't ask anything, and nodded to let him go down.
The butler bowed and left.
Just after the housekeeper left Fuquyuan, Chunrong also walked in.
"Miss."
"How about it?"
Luo Jiuli raised his head and looked at Chunrong.
Chun Rong said awkwardly:
"The person who was sent replied and said that Sun Ting went to the flower garden."
"Flower Garden? Where?"
This was the first time Luo Jiuli had heard of it.
Chun Rong's little face turned red. When Luo Jiuli saw her like this, he combined it with Sun Ting's usual behavior.
"It can't be the brothel on Eighth Street, right?"
Chun Rong nodded but said nothing.
Luo Jiuli gritted his teeth.
"Second brother's attack was too gentle, and he was still allowed to come out to have fun, huh."
As he spoke, he stood up with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.
"Let's go and change my clothes."
Chun Rong was startled.
"Miss, are you still going out?"
Luo Jiuli stared.
"Why do you talk so much? Just change your clothes when I ask you to."
"yes."
Chun Rong didn't dare to ask any more questions, she lowered her head, pretending to be blind and dumb.
Half an hour later.
Eighth Street, in front of the flower shop.
Luo Jiuli, who was disguised as a man, sniffed the tangy fragrance in the air and looked at Chun Rong behind him with interest, who didn't even know how to turn his eyes.
"Let's go, let's go to the brothel today."
"Sister, isn't this not good?"
Chun Rong grabbed her young lady, her voice was very soft, her movements were quick, and her eyes were full of resistance.
"What are you afraid of? If the sky falls, Miss, I will hold it up."
Luo Jiuli patted Chunrong, who was disguised as a man, comfortingly.
However, she didn't know that the sky would not fall, but someone's anger would not be calmed down.
At this time, in the Nine Princes' Mansion.
"master."
Qin Yin stood outside the study, feeling slightly worried.
"Just now, Qin Wu came back and left again."
In the study room, Xiao Mingxuan put down the book in his hand and quickly opened the door.
"explain."
Qin Wu was sent by him to protect Luo Jiuli outside Duke Yi's Mansion. When Qin Wu returned home that night, he didn't even have time to see him. It seemed that something happened to Luo Jiuli.
Qin Yin was speechless, the world is huge, Miss Luo Er is the biggest.
He didn't dare to hide anything, so he taught his master the story.
"Today, the second son of the Luo family, Luo Yuanjia, returned to Beijing. When he was passing by the teahouse, he heard Sun Ting slandering the second Miss Luo with all kinds of humiliating words, so he started fighting with Sun Ting."
"In the evening, Du Qilin, the young master of the Du family, went out to find Luo Yuanjia. Not long after, Miss Luo also left the house with her maid disguised as a man."
Xiao Mingxuan's eyes flashed.
"A woman disguised as a man?"
Qin Yin nodded.
"That's what Qin Wu told his subordinates."
"Where did they go?"
Qin Yin lowered his head.
"Went to the flower shop on Eighth Street."
"What is she doing there?"
"Sun Ting also went to the Flower Garden."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yin could feel the aura and coercion emanating from his master.
——
Luo Jiuli knew nothing about the Ninth Prince's anger.
At this time, she had an angry face, standing outside the flower shop with Chun Rong, pulling on her clothes and full of doubts.
"It shouldn't be. Isn't that how it is shown on TV?"
"Chunrong, how did they see that we were women disguised as men?"
Just now, she originally wanted to enter the brothel in a swaggering manner.
Who would have thought that she and Chun Rong were stopped and kicked out of the flower shop without even entering the door.
Chun Rong shook her head and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't know either."
Luo Jiuli looked at the two-story flower shop and touched his back teeth.
"Let's go to the back alley."
"Miss, I think it's better to forget it."
Chun Rong pulled her.
"What's the matter? That bastard dares to beat my second brother, ruin my reputation, and wants to ruin my reputation. Then I will retaliate in kind."
Luo Jiuli aggressively dragged Chunrong to the back alley.
There was a high wall on both sides of the back alley, and over the wall was the backyard of the flower shop. Although there was a small door in the backyard, it was locked, so naturally she couldn't get in. As for the high wall,
How could he possibly stop her?
"You wait outside, I'll go in."
"Miss."
Chun Rong was shocked. She didn't expect that her young lady could be so stubborn.
"Don't worry, after tonight, Sun Ting's reputation will be infamous in the capital for eternity."
As he spoke, he took out a black veil and put it on his face.
Chun Rong: "Miss, you have even prepared this."
"Just in case?"
Luo Jiuli smiled, took a running start, kicked off the wall, jumped, held the top of the wall with both hands and jumped over neatly.
Chun Rong, who was under the wall, and Qin Wu, who was hiding in the dark, were stunned.
Luo Jiuli fell into the courtyard and hid quietly in the dark for a while.
Then I saw a little girl with a dirty body and a lame leg walking out of a small house. The little girl was holding a cleaned chamber pot in her hand, presumably to take it to the guest room in the front yard.
Luo Jiuli, who was hiding in the dark, saw the little girl limping over. Seeing that there was no one around, the wind was blowing under his feet. His eyes were quick and his hands were quick. He covered the little girl's mouth and nose and dragged her into the corner.
dark place.
The little girl was so frightened that she tried to struggle desperately.
"Don't move, I won't hurt you, I just want to ask you something."
Luo Jiuli took out the purse hanging from his waist and stuffed it into the little girl's hand.
"Here are twenty taels of silver. If I ask a question and you answer truthfully, this silver will be yours."
The little girl squeezed the purse in her hand, and after confirming that it indeed contained money, and that her captor did not pose a threat to her, she slowly stopped struggling.
Seeing that she stopped struggling, Luo Jiuli whispered:
"Let me ask you, do you know Sun Ting, the Grand Duke of the Shilang Mansion? I heard that he is a frequent visitor to your place?"
The little girl thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and then pointed to her covered mouth.
Luo Jiuli frowned and pressed the scalpel against the little girl's neck.
"Let me go, don't scream. If you dare to cause trouble for me, I will kill you with one knife, and you will lose both your life and wealth."
The little girl trembled in fright and nodded hurriedly.
Only then did Luo Jiuli let go of her mouth with relief.
How did that little girl survive in such a mixed place? She still has some scheming and brains.
After Luo Jiuli released her mouth, she did not look back. Instead, she lowered her head and knelt on the ground with her back to Luo Jiuli, without saying any nonsense.
