891: Chapter 565_2 891: Chapter 565_2 Du Jiaolan is now in contact with her through a single line, but now there are more; these two people she knows.
These two are merely her tools for amusement, unaware that they are spies from a foreign land.
As long as they serve as tools, stirring the waters of the Capital City, they are her allies.
Du Jiaolan brought this man and woman to one of their dens, the Brothel!
She didn’t take them back to her mansion, nor did she introduce them to any other daughters!
In the eyes of these two people, Du Jiaolan saw malevolence; these two definitely could not be brought home!
It was also to prevent these two from knowing too much of their secrets, taking them to their secret locations, allowing them to do what they wanted without knowing too much, a perfect solution!
Du Jiaolan knew Yingzi; what did she want him to do?
But she didn’t think these two could do much, their abilities were no better than some people, only capable of some thievery, the acts of a flower thief!
Under Du Jiaolan’s arrangement, the two individuals dressed in black and Bian Shasha got on a carriage, never expecting this woman to bring them to the Brothel!
When the two wanted to resist, not wanting to enter, Du Jiaolan insisted they stay here, where dragons and snakes mix, suitable for their stay!
Such a strained rationale, the men in black and Bian Shasha found somewhat unbelievable.
Yet they had no choice but to settle down here, realizing that the women here were rather special!
Du Jiaolan settled these two in the Brothel and went to find Tang Feiyang, only to be denied entry again!
Tang Feiyang with his father and mother, the entire family had been cultivating in their mansion for over ten days, having improved and broken through, utterly enraptured!
Moreover, they studied the Secret Manual given by Jiang Tang, a manual that one could cultivate without Spiritual Root, which kept them in seclusion.
While his family was in seclusion, they had set up gatekeepers, not allowing anyone or anything to disturb their cultivation!
They had foregone court and family affairs for their cultivation, not to mention these impostor women.
The doors of the Minister Mansion have been shut for a long time.
Civil and military officials, their team, visited daily after court!
However, accustomed to attending court daily, they found themselves only waiting outside, the King did not grant them an audience!
The King hadn’t attended court for a long time, even the usually active Princes had recently become well-behaved!
Many had heard that they all were cultivating, all trying to break through, causing those still unbroken, constantly yearning for an official position, for power, to incessantly sigh!
The highest in their team kept being in seclusion, hoping to gain benefits from them!
Tang Feiyang hadn’t been going to the academy lately, initially, the students felt very free, their senior managing as always, so strict, without their senior managing, they enjoyed a few days of freedom!
Then idling at the academy, apart from the tasks assigned by teachers, they found it extremely boring!
To freely roam outside and also wanting to know what their senior was doing?
So the students came up with a reason, to execute their previous mission, patrolling.
This patrol belonged to the streets and properties of their team!
The academy’s teachers felt they had suddenly become more sensible, to undertake the tasks assigned by their senior brother voluntarily, this was a good thing!
On some of the major streets in the Capital City, there were students dressed in Confucianism Tao attire, particularly striking!
They also walked in front of many people, not resembling studious students at all, even more active than those elderly strolling the streets!
While shopping, they specifically lingered at snack stalls and shops selling novelty items.
Du Jiaolan, unable to find Tang Feiyang at the Minister Mansion, saw these students in the street!
She had the carriage stop and had the maid call over a few students who were shopping.
“Young masters, please hold on!”
These students had already noticed the carriage, only they found this carriage rather ordinary!
Many of these students were sons from wealthy families, and only a few were from other places; those students from other places who could study at Kyoto Academy meant that their families had considerable financial power!
“What is it?”
They arrogantly stopped, then from the carriage window emerged a voice even more charming, and a considerably beautiful young lady, around fifteen or sixteen, showed her face!
With this, the men were momentarily stunned, not expecting such a beautiful woman in an ordinary carriage, wearing not impoverished clothes, seemingly a young miss from a major family!
Not every man recognized the young ladies of the Capital; after all, the Capital was so vast, with so many families, so many officials, each family taking wives and concubines, a person having many children, especially these young misses of this age, many of whom did not show themselves!
Only recently had they become a little more active!
They’ve only become active recently, never having seen Du Jiaolan!
Du Jiaolan saw the blank stares from these few men, felt quite satisfied, and gave a proud smile, making it look like she wasn’t charmless, but Tang Feiyang was just special!
“Excuse me?
Do you know Tang Feiyang?”
These students, upon hearing the unfamiliar woman ask about Tang Feiyang, their admired senior brother, became very curious!
They sized up the woman, and judging by her appearance, she seemed somewhat of a match!
But they had recently heard that the King had betrothed a princess to their senior brother!
Could this woman be the princess?
Wouldn’t a princess be dressed more elegantly?
Perhaps she was just a lady from a wealthy family; could she match their senior brother?
In a flash, these three students had already made many guesses in their minds!
You, the unfamiliar woman, who is inquiring about our senior brother, are evidently interested; amid the boredom, you bring even more gossip!
“Miss, do you know our senior brother?”
“Miss, which family do you belong to?
How do you know our senior brother?”
“Miss, may we ask your name, so we know who you are?”
One after another, the men threw out questions!
Du Jiaolan, for a moment, wondered whether to reveal her name to them or not.
Would it be better to maintain an air of mystery and have them keep guessing?
Du Jiaolan replied with a radiant smile, “Young master, is your senior brother at the academy?”
This woman before them didn’t reveal her name nor her family background!
The gossip flame in the students flew across their faces, they were sure she must be enamored with their senior brother!
Yet she seemed like one unable to find their crazily infatuated senior brother!
But such crazily infatuated women, wouldn’t there be many for the senior brother?
Lately, the senior brother’s cousin has been coming to the academy gate looking for him!
“Miss, the senior brother isn’t at the academy now, but if you don’t know his residence, we can take you there!”
“Miss, you still haven’t told us your name.
When the senior brother returns to the academy, we’ll tell him that the miss is looking for him, would it be convenient to share the things concerning our senior brother with us?”
Du Jiaolan, faced with one question after another from the students, remained smilingly silent.
Since Tang Feiyang wasn’t at the academy, he must surely be at his mansion!
She couldn’t believe that this man would always be in the mansion, only patiently waiting was needed!
“Well then, forgive the intrusion, your senior brother knows who I am.
When he opens the mansion’s door, he’ll know who I am.”
Du Jiaolan waved goodbye after finishing her words.
Such unrestrained behavior from the woman, she seemed not simple at all!
The students were even more absorbed in gossip!
In just that brief moment, every student on the street knew there was a woman infatuated with their senior brother looking for him!
His cousin came to know this; she was infuriated and stomped her feet, known for being wilful and often wearing all red!
Her pretended innocence was shattered at this moment!
She sent people to investigate who was looking for her cousin!
From the students’ description of her appearance, the cousin knew this woman was beautiful!
Among the noble family girls in the Capital City, she searched her memory for this woman!
She indeed found one, frequently visiting her cousin’s mansion looking for her own cousins!
Having paid close attention earlier, she was from the Du Family of Duke Du Mansion!
The cousin went to confront Du Jiaolan in displeasure!
