Su Zhi's train of thoughts was interrupted. She looked toward the private room on the second floor, finding the voice. She was looking at a cynical face.

She was a beautiful and elegant woman, but she was also very unruly. At first glance, she looked like a good-for-nothing.

His shout silenced the hall. No one dared to refute him.

He hadn't thought that the crown prince of the Eternal Ning Prince's estate would also be here.

At that moment, a few of the young masters came up to greet him, flattering him.

Lu Huan acted as if he didn't care. He got up and brushed off his wrinkled clothes, then said: "Miss, I'll buy this' Orchid Sky Valley '. Is five hundred taels of silver enough?"

Su Zhi was at a loss as to how to respond. Not only was it enough, she had returned the room money and the twenty taels from Liu Yuan. Not only that, she could also spend a portion of the money on purchasing limited quantities of items.

"Enough, enough! Her Highness the Crown Prince smiled for the beauty. "Such extravagance is truly admirable."

Lu Huan's bright smile called for the manservant to go downstairs and get the items.

When Su Zhi held out her hands, they were still shaking violently.

Having earned six or seven hundred silver taels in one night, the thrill of this day's gold rush was like a dream.

The young masters of the other lords looked at each other and smiled in understanding.

It seemed like the crown prince had found his prey tonight.

Who in Xuan City didn't know that the crown prince of the Eternal Ning Prince's estate was born with an amorous character and was nostalgic for the beautiful streets and willow alleys? He was a man with a heart of flowers.

Any woman he took a fancy to, even a nun or a widow from a temple, could be captured easily.

This man was skilled and had a handsome and free and unrestrained face. As long as his attacks were slightly fierce, there was no woman who would not be tempted.

The concubines in the backyard were comparable to the three thousand beauties of the imperial palace. One could see the extent of their revulsion towards the old.

"Crown Prince, I can't even see this girl's face, don't be distracted. Be careful not to reveal her pure face under the veil."

"Hahahaha."

Lu Huan Zhi snorted lightly when he heard the teasing of his peers. He was not angry at all. "What do you know? This prince is confident. This … this must be a peerless beauty!"

After Su Zhi successfully sold all the perfume, she put on her felt hat and quietly left from the backstage.

Seeing that the servant had left, Lu Huan Zhi called her personal attendant over and left after giving a few instructions.

Su Zhi walked out of the Phoenix Maiden Pavilion, her hands shaking in excitement as she carried the banknotes she had exchanged with the old procuress and headed towards Spring Leaf Alley.

At this time, the sky had already darkened.

There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. It was a hidden danger that Su Zhi was planning to rent a carriage.

Just past a deserted alley, a man dressed like a servant came into the alley. He looked a little familiar.

She thought about it for a moment and realized that it was the follower of the master who just took the auction for the Orchid Sky Valley.

"Miss, please hold your steps. The Crown Prince has invited you."

Su Zhi was puzzled. Seeing that no one was around, she tightened her sleeves and asked, "May I ask what is the matter, Your Highness?"

"Since you bought the girl's things, you should at least ask her what her name is, right?"

She was startled when she heard the voice coming from behind. She turned around and saw that it was Lu Huan Zhi.

"Greetings, Crown Prince."

"No need for formalities."

Lu Huan Zhi held onto her shoulders and caressed her hands without leaving a trace.

Su Zhi resisted instinctively. In the past, when she bowed to Xiao Qian and Liu Yuan, the latter would only hold her up and not touch her skin.

She was not used to seeing Lu Huan act like this today.

"A commoner should speak lightly and have a lowly status. How could she insult the Crown Prince's ears?"

Hearing her call herself a commoner, Lu Huan Zhi raised her eyebrows and asked, "You're already married?"

"That's right, she has already become a married child."

"If that's the case, what a pity …"

Lu Huan Zhi stroked her smooth chin. Disappointment could already be seen in her eyes.

However, when she saw Su Zhi, who was wearing a veil and looked weak and pitiful, her heart still throbbed a little.

"Then why isn't the little lady showing her true face?"

Su Zhi covered her face with a veil and lowered her head. "Because this commoner is ugly, she intimidates others. Only then does she wear a veil."

Lu Huan Zhi snickered. It was obvious that she didn't believe her words.

He walked back and forth in front of Su Zhi. Smelling her scent, he whispered, "It smells so good. I wonder who learned my cooking skills from?"

Su Zhi unconsciously took two steps back and leaned her back against the cold stone wall.

"Learning from an old master is not important."

Hearing her slapstick, Lu Huan Zhi smiled sinisterly. She leaned against the stone wall at the back, enjoying the panic that appeared in her eyes.

He was clearly afraid, but he still pretended to be calm. Interesting.

But is he that bad? With his title as the heir to the Eternal Ning Royal Palace, he didn't even need to hook many women to get them to his side.

"It's already late, how about I send my wife back?"

"There's no need. My husband must be extremely anxious. He might have already come out to find me, and there might be some unnecessary misunderstandings. This humble woman should go back by herself."

Su Zhi carefully lowered her body, crawled out of Lu Huan's arms with her head, and slowly moved away.

"Hold on ~"

Su Zhi stiffened and nodded. "Does Your Highness have any other orders?"

Lu Huan Zhi chuckled. She raised her hand and hooked it under her chin. "Do you think this prince will scare you?"

Su Zhi turned her face away and said coldly, "Please have some self-respect, Your Highness."

"Good, good, good. This is the tune that I like. I bought this' Youlan of the Vale 'from you. I'll give it to you as a gift."

What a man.

There was a kind of dregs that liked demure and virtuous brothels. They preferred loose women. In short, they loved to hunt wonders.

It was likely that this prince was someone of his caliber.

"This humble woman does not dare to accept your kindness without merit. Your Highness, please drop this matter."

Just as Su Zhi was about to escape, Lu Huan Zhi gave a naughty smile and pulled the white felt hat on her head with her large hands. With a slight tug, the veil which covered her also fell down.

The moment the white gauze landed on the ground, the woman's flustered face was instantly caught by the man's eyes.

Lu Hengzhi, who was used to seeing all sorts of beauties, did not believe that Su Zhi was a natural beauty. At the very most, she could only be considered a mediocre beauty.

However, she had a pair of watery eyes that seemed to be filled with beauty, making her look extremely pitiful and innocent.

At this moment, she was staring at him. There was no shyness like what he imagined, instead, there was only anger.

"Your Highness, don't go too far!"

Su Zhi picked up the felt hat and veil that had fallen to the ground, glared at him, then turned around and ran away.

Interesting, he had never seen a woman who could escape his teasing.

This girl was considered the first.

Staring in the direction Su Zhi had fled in, Lu Huan gave a faint smile.

Su Zhi returned home safely. The two children were already asleep.

A Jin sat on the edge of the bed with one hand still pressed against the mattress, as if she was trying to prevent her sister from kicking the quilt.

She saw that A Jin had not taken off her clothes, and was obviously waiting for her to come back.

Su Zhi was so touched that her heart warmed. She immediately hid the banknotes, took off her child's clothes, and carried him to bed to sleep.

Lying under the warm blanket, Su Zhi did not let Lu Huan's little episode slip her good mood. Instead, she was secretly thinking about her future path.

This perfume was sold really well. There must be a returning customer. After all, they couldn't just let the guest run to Spring Leaf Lane and go to her house to pick up the goods, right?

As a woman, she couldn't be bothered to take care of that kind of busy street. It was inevitable that she would meet with Lu Huan's kind of impudent and helpless people.

After thinking for a long time, she finally made a decision. She kissed the two obedient children beside her and fell asleep with a smile on her face.
