Chapter 499: Chapter 499 Old Master Chen Chapter 499: Chapter 499 Old Master Chen Big Bull’s face darkened, “My dear, it doesn’t sound right for a lady like you to run a brothel; let’s not open it, we are not short of silver now.”
He often remembered Xuexue frequented Qinger Building.
Often seeing those not suitable for children scenes, Big Bull felt odd in his heart.
He would eventually return to the Capital, and later, Xuexue would go to Qinger Building alone without his protection. What if she ran into rogues? Thinking about this made Big Bull anxious.
Xuexue, with her eyes fixated, absentmindedly said in the direction of Auntie Sun and Butcher Yu, “We were talking about Auntie Sun, why do you bring up Qinger Building?”
“Will you promise me first?”
“Oh, stop nagging, let’s talk about it later. They are about to leave. Let’s hurry and follow them to see where their lair is.” At this moment, Xuexue’s focus was entirely on Auntie Sun, without hearing a word Big Bull said. She stood up, grabbed his hand, and hurried after them.
Big Bull was helpless and simply let Xuexue drag him along.
Butcher Yu and Auntie Sun, after passing through the market and several alleys, stealthily arrived at the rear door of a large mansion.
This mansion was vast, all red tiles and blue bricks, ancient and luxurious, clearly belonging to a rich and prestigious family.
The two, instead of using the main entrance, specifically used the back door; what indecent act are they trying not to be seen doing? Xuexue wondered as she pulled Big Bull and hid in a dark corner to observe.
Just then, the back door opened, and a servant looking person came out, who said to Butcher Yu, “Old Master told this madam to come inside; you can go now and be sure to come back to pick her up in four hours.”
“Yes, yes.” Butcher Yu smiled like a cooked dog’s head, his mouth sounding agreeable, but he didn’t move an inch, his eyes eagerly gazing at the servant.
The servant seemed to catch his intention, scornfully curling his lips, reached into his chest, pulled out several taels of silver, weighed them in his hand with a somewhat arrogant look, and handed them to Butcher Yu like giving alms to a beggar: “This is Old Master Chen’s reward for you, as long as this madam serves Old Master well, there will be more rewards to come!”
“Very good! Thank you Old Master Chen.”
Butcher Yu, grinning from ear to ear, thought to himself that the wealthy families were indeed generous, giving out more in a single instance than what they could make in several days of business.
“Madam, please go inside quick; there isn’t much time, and Old Master is getting impatient,” urged the servant, hastening Auntie Sun.”
Auntie Sun had no choice but to step inside, at this moment, all focused on how to get rid of Butcher Yu.
The servant once again ordered Butcher Yu, in four hours, he must come back on time to take Auntie Sun away.
“Please tell Old Master Chen, I will definitely come back on time,” replied the butcher.
“Right, that’s good,” said the servant.
After saying this, he closed the back door.
Butcher Yu stood still for a while, then joyously clutching the silver in his hand, turned around and walked toward the end of the street.
In the darkness, Big Bull turned his head and whispered to Xuexue, “My dear, what now? Shall we keep following?”
Normally, tracking would be best done by sending Xiao Tao Hong, as she is a ghost and invisible to others, making it easier to act, but now it was daytime, and the sun was brilliant, Xiao Tao Hong’s cultivation wasn’t high enough to be exposed under the sun.
“You go follow Butcher Yu and see where he lives. I’ll go inside and see what’s really happening,” Xuexue pointed towards the mansion.
“My dear, you must be careful, such elite households are sure to have many protectors.”
“It’s fine, it’s a good chance to test the Qinggong skills you taught me, to see if I have improved,” she replied.
“You must not be careless,” he cautioned.
“I know! Hurry up and follow Butcher Yu, he’s almost out of sight,” Xuexue waved at him, then walked to the wall, acting nonchalantly, looked around to see if no one was watching her, then with a strong push with her feet, she swooped into the enclosed courtyard.
