Chapter 1225 Golden Cage (58)
In the past few days while recovering from his injuries, Wen Renzhen ran to Youlan Palace several times. Shen Mubai felt guilty and a little guilty, but he did not drive him away.
When she was almost well, she put on men's clothes again, this time without bringing any light cigarettes, and sneaked out of the palace alone.
When she walked into Baihua Building, the madam seemed to have an impression of her. She glanced at her and said, "Oh, isn't this the young master from last time?"
Chen Mubai fanned his folding fan and threw a piece of silver. "Tell you..." he paused and said, "Call all the girls."
The madam was naturally happy to get the money, and immediately ordered someone to call the girl. After a while, the girls stood together and ogled her.
Shen Mubai looked around and frowned, "Are all the girls here?"
The madam smiled and said, "Could it be that the young master is looking for someone? Some girls are picking up guests... Look..."
Shen Mubai threw another bag of silver impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."
This bag of silver was very heavy, and there were not many customers at this time. The madam immediately said cheerfully, "Why don't we call those girls over."
The guests were disturbed and left cursing.
The girls walked over and said softly, "Mom, what are you telling us to do?"
The old madam said, "Sir, the top man and the girl from Baixianglou are here. Look..."
Shen Mubai looked at the girls carefully, then found a familiar one among them, pointed at her, "You, come out."
The woman was a little worried and stood up and said, "Sir, are you looking for a slave?"
Shen Mubai said, "Where is the jade pendant?"
The woman covered her mouth and smiled, "Sir, I don't understand what you are talking about."
Shen Mubai was too lazy to deal with her, "You understand what I'm talking about. Take out the jade pendant and I'll exchange it with you."
She took out a more valuable piece of jade.
The woman's eyes were slightly bright, but she didn't know what she thought of, and she said, "Sir, this... it's not that the slave family doesn't want to give it to you, it's because the slave family wanted to eat the food in the market that day, and asked someone to exchange the jade pendant for silver."
"Where did you change it?" Shen Mubai looked at her.
"Here, I'll ask the slave family." The woman replied, and then called a maid and asked her some questions.
The maid lowered her head and said, "Back to the young master, I got this slave from the same person who sold the sesame cakes. I can't remember what that person looked like."
Shen Mubai didn't speak.
She then thought about why Wen Renyi suddenly mentioned the jade pendant to her.
Looking straight at the woman in the brothel, she said calmly, "That day outside the room, was there a very handsome young man present? He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a dull expression. He was very tall, and he didn't look like he was. An ordinary person with outstanding temperament."
The woman was surprised and looked a little flustered, "Master, how could there be any other men? You were the only one serving me that day."
Shen Mubai smiled, "If you don't tell me, I have plenty of ways to make you tell me."
The woman's body was a little stiff. When the madam saw this, she understood that she had offended the young master. The young master seemed to be from a good family. He rolled his eyes and said a few words tactfully.
The brothel woman gritted her teeth and said, "Sir, I don't have the jade pendant here."
Shen Mubai stopped asking. After knowing the answer, she no longer needed to stay here. She turned around and walked out of the brothel.
"Yuewu, do you know him?" the girl next to him asked in a low voice.
Yue Wu looked away and said with a somewhat forced smile, "I just saw that this young master is too handsome, so he doesn't look like a young master."
