Chapter 48 -48: Going to the Brothel to Undermine

“Ah, such a handsome young master, coming here alone to play? Do you have an acquaintance among the ladies?”

The moment Chu Nanli arrived at the doorstep of the brothel, a flamboyantly dressed madam twisted her waist to welcome him.

“Mhm, alone. This young master will just stroll around by himself,” Chu Nanli, aside from being momentarily choked by the strong scent of the madam’s powder, felt no discomfort. Instead, he appeared as if he were in his element, even managing to awe the madam.

This young master appeared quite young and handsome, with a gentle and clever look about him. Could he be a seasoned profligate well-versed in the ways of the Land of Smoke and Willows?

Chu Nanli paid her no heed and walked boldly inside, looking around.

The first floor was a large hall with many tables and chairs, where guests sat around the tables, drinking wine and enjoying snacks, while watching the girls perform on the central stage.

The second floor housed private rooms. Chu Nanli glanced up and saw several men dressed in skimpy clothes embracing and kissing the girls.

Quite an eyesore.

Chu Nanli averted her gaze and found a corner seat, paid for a pot of tea, ordered some snacks, and quietly watched the performances.

Each girl had an elegant figure, occasionally revealing fair, snow-white thighs as they danced, and the thin gauze slipping off their shoulders, eliciting applause and approval from the men below.

So, this is the brothel of this world? It’s pretty much what she had imagined. Originally she planned to go to the Bright Moon Building, but on the way, she decided to investigate other brothels on a whim.

“What a stunning young master.”

A pleasant female voice resonated beside him.

Turning to look, Chu Nanli saw a girl sit down next to him and pour him a cup of tea.

“This young master did not request the company of a lady.”

The message was clear: I haven’t paid for this, so why are you here?

The girl giggled sweetly and said, “This one is Mei Yi. Seeing the young master looking different from those repulsive men, I took the initiative to come here, without asking for your money.”

Chu Nanli inquired, “The madam won’t scold you?”

Mei Yi’s expression paused for a moment, then she smiled anew, “She’s busy pleasing the new Oiran in the building. She wouldn’t dare offend me. Does the young master know why?”

Chu Nanli was there to gather information about the brothel and thus played along, “I do not know.”

“I used to be the top Oiran of this place, and there are still many disgusting men who want to spend the night with me. That madam is a cunning one, afraid that I might steal the new Oiran’s guests. If that happens, the cash tree she has painstakingly lured here might walk out on her,” Mei Yi explained.

As an attentive listener, Chu Nanli showed an expression of sudden realization, complementing, “The lady’s beauty is indeed exceptional.”

This remark caused Mei Yi to laugh uproariously, her face flushed with color, astonishing even Chu Nanli, a woman herself.

Mei Yi was the kind of woman whose eyebrows and smile were enchanting, with a beauty profound enough to make one’s heart itch.

Suddenly, Chu Nanli was struck by the idea of poaching her.

They needed attractive women at the Bright Moon Building as well.

Therefore, after chatting for the duration of a cup of tea, and confirming that the girl’s character and talents were satisfactory, Chu Nanli extended an invitation.

“Has Lady Mei Yi ever considered seeking greater opportunities?”

Without showing surprise at Chu Nanli’s question, Mei Yi replied with a smile, “Is the young master proposing I come work at your residence?”

“…”

Chu Nanli was embarrassed but explained, “Not at all. I too have a brothel called the Bright Moon Building, newly established, and we are in need of staff. The ladies of the Bright Moon Building sell their arts, not their bodies, and do not entertain clients in that manner. We also regularly arrange for specialized teachers to cultivate the ladies’ talents. Does Lady Mei Yi find this interesting?”

Mei Yi was taken aback, looking at Chu Nanli with a puzzled gaze, as if she were about to ask if he was alright.

Chu Nanli did not hurry her, instead, he poured her another cup of tea and waited for her to digest the information.

After a while, Mei Yi finally regained her composure, her face losing the previously contrived smile, and said, “If what the young master says is true, of course, Mei Yi is interested. Not only that, but I am also willing to pay my own Silver Coins to redeem my Indenture of Servitude from this brothel.”

Seeing Chu Nanli’s surprised look, she smiled and added, “I have saved up quite a bit over the years. If the young master could let me escape this wretched place and return to a life of respectability, how could I have the heart to have you pay the ransom?”

Chu Nanli felt a touch moved upon hearing these words, feeling empathy for the fate of women fallen into the Land of Smoke and Willows.

She nodded and assured, “I can guarantee the truth of my words. If Lady Mei Yi is willing to go to the Bright Moon Building, then seek out Lady Xinlian at number 43 on Apricot Blossom Street, and mention the name Jin Nan; she will understand.”

Chu Nanli decided to mention this alias “Jin Nan” to Xinlian when she saw her later.

After giving a respectful tea salute to Chu Nanli, Mei Yi said, “If Mei Yi decides to go to the Bright Moon Building, may I bring along some friends I am close to?”

“Of course,” Chu Nanli replied.

Mei Yi’s heart settled, and she silently resolved to inquire about the Bright Moon Building and make her decision as soon as possible.

She did not wish to stay in this noxious place any longer.
