The masked woman said: "Girl, you are so beautiful, why were you kicked out of the Sheng Mansion?"

Zhu Manniang had just been threatened by Liu Mama, so she didn't dare to make up something too outrageous. She just said, "I have a miserable life and met the wrong person." Then she said nothing more.

Seeing her like this, the masked woman was not in a hurry. She pulled her to a restaurant on another street and bought her a table of food. She then took her to a nearby clothing store and bought her a set of clothes made of fine materials. She coaxed her into a happy mood and only then pried her mouth open.

Zhu Manniang didn't dare to mention Changbai again, but she insisted that it was the young master of the Sheng family who saved her, and she didn't say anything more about how the two of them flirted with each other.

The masked woman placed her in an inn and asked the innkeeper to report to the Sheng family if he saw the young man coming to see the girl upstairs.

After arranging all these, she returned to Jiying Lane.

This masked woman was none other than Madam Zhou who was beside Lin Qinshuang.

When she finished telling the news, Lin Qinshuang's face was all red, and she laughed loudly, "Isn't the young master of Sheng Mansion she was talking about Changbai? They say Changbai is the most upright, but he can't escape the word 'lust' after all, hahahaha!"

Madam Zhou echoed, "As a man, how can you not be greedy when you see a beautiful woman? As long as we spread the news to Changbai, or create a chance for the two to meet again, it will be a hot fire. Let's see how the lady will excuse her good son!"

Unfortunately, Lin Qinshuang didn’t know that it wasn’t just Madam Zhou who was staring at Zhu Manniang at the door that day.

Changbai was wary of Zhu Manniang because of the word "Chique". He wanted to take the evidence and send her directly to the government, but was stopped by Sheng Hong. Sheng Hong was afraid that sending her to the government would make things worse, so he just wanted to solve it privately, so he only detained her for five days and then let her go. But Changbai was worried. He didn't know if this woman would cause trouble for Gu Tingye again, so he arranged for his servants to watch her secretly.

The servant's name was Matsumaru, and he often helped Changbai run errands. He had no experience in stalking, and he was knocked to the ground by someone behind him after only a few steps.

He was so scared that he screamed and someone covered his mouth. When he looked closely, he found that it was his second brother Chang Feng.

"Don't make any noise, be careful not to let Madam Zhou see us!" Chang Feng shouted at him in a low voice.

Matsumaru nodded repeatedly, and Changfeng finally let go and asked, "Why are you following Zhu Manniang?"

Matsumaru: “I didn’t.”

Chang Feng: "I saw it all. You were with Zhu Manniang."

Matsumaru: "I just happened to be going the same way."

Chang Feng: "Do you believe me? I'll tell Dad and ask Dong Rong to give you a good beating?"

Matsumaru: "No, no, no, brother, that's not happening!"

Chang Feng: "What's the matter? Are you going to tell me or not?"

Matsumaru had no choice but to tell Changbai that he had been asked to keep an eye on Zhu Manniang.

Chang Feng was happy when he heard it.

Ever since he heard about Zhu Manniang's beauty from Minglan, he had been thinking about it. He wanted to be a hero saving a beautiful woman, personally rescue the poor girl from the clutches of her mother-in-law, and see how beautiful Zhu Manniang was. But when he walked to the door of Weiruixuan and saw the fierce women and servants guarding the courtyard, he lost his temper, so he waited and watched every day, and finally waited for the opportunity for Weiruixuan to release the people.

After hearing what Matsumaru said, he felt that this girl must be extraordinary, otherwise why would his upright second brother do such a thing as following her?

So he drove Matsumaru away and followed Zhu Zhou and the others to the hotel.

However, Matsumaru didn't dare to leave. Although the second brother was kind, he was always very clear about what he said and did. If he gave up the surveillance, he would definitely be severely punished when he returned.

Matsumaru waited until Changfeng had walked a long way before quietly following him from another alley.

Chang Feng had already seen Zhu Manniang's back, her figure was enchanting and she was indeed full of charm. He suppressed his excitement and followed Zhu Zhou and his wife to the door of the inn. He waited for Zhou to leave before entering the inn, stuffed a piece of silver into the shopkeeper's pocket, asked where Zhu Manniang's room was, and then knocked on the door.

Zhu Manniang opened the door and saw a young man of about twelve or thirteen years old, full of dignity. She asked with a smile, "Sir, who are you looking for?"

She had peach blossom eyes, an oval face, slightly upturned thin lips, a voice as sweet as sugar, and sparkling eyes that seemed to have a thousand words. She was full of charm, just like those flower girls in the tile house that Chang Feng had longed for.

Chang Feng kept mumbling “I, I, I” and couldn’t utter a complete sentence.

Zhu Manniang is three years older than Changfeng, much taller than him, and much more mature than him. When she saw Changfeng like this, she knew what the young boy was thinking, and dragged him into the room with a smile.

Chang Feng walked into the house reluctantly, and was greeted by a warm fragrance, the same scent as the beauty he had brushed against in the tile room before.

The reason why he said "longing for a long time" and "passed by" was because his father repeatedly told him not to touch those things before getting married. He finally went to Wazi with Gu Tingye but they could only have tea and watch performances - Gu Tingye obeyed Changbai's request and never took him to drink wine.

But he was too curious. He would often hear servants discussing "women's sex skills" in his own yard. When he went out to play, there were all kinds of men and women in the theater. Even a puppet show often included some dirty jokes, which made him itchy all over and he had no place to vent.

Seeing Zhu Manniang now, the turmoil in his heart could no longer be calmed. He held the hand held by her tightly and mumbled, "I am Sheng Changfeng, Sheng Changbai is my brother."

When Zhu Manniang heard this, she was immediately delighted. It was really like finding something without any effort after searching for it for a long time!

She covered her handkerchief with a shy look, but her eyes were straight and fiery. She did not ask what the man was doing, but just said, "Would you like to have some wine?"

Chang Feng did not give up and continued: "You and my brother..."

Zhu Manniang turned her head away and said, "It's nothing, just a misunderstanding."

She spoke vaguely, but Chang Feng took the initiative to imagine a drama of unrequited love. He grabbed Zhu Manniang's hand and said, "My brother is a blockhead. He is the least romantic. I'm different! I... I..."

Zhu Manniang was reluctant to accept his offer, so she gently slapped his hand away, turned around and asked someone to bring some wine, and when she closed the door, she was suddenly hugged from behind...

After a while, there was a knock on the door. Zhu Manniang straightened her messy dress and opened the door. The person who came to deliver the wine was actually the innkeeper. She smiled and asked, "Why bother the innkeeper to deliver it personally?"

The innkeeper also laughed: "There are a lot of things to do in the inn. When everyone is too busy, I have to take care of it."

He was talking to Zhu Man Niang, but his eyes passed through Zhu Man Niang and looked into the room. After he saw the young man sitting in the room, he took his leave.

The innkeeper occasionally went to Wazi, where he had seen the extravagant second son of Marquis Gu, and then recognized Sheng Changfeng beside Gu Er. When he thought about the masked woman's instructions to report to the "Sheng family", he thought he had figured out the whole thing: "It turns out that this is not a honey trap, but the Sheng family is disciplining the young master!"
