Delicate Miss VS Prodigal (Part 2)

In the vibrant spring of March, the wine house mesmerizes the eyes.
The Drunken Red Chamber is the liveliest wine house in the imperial city, where not only the best dishes are served, but also beauties skilled in poetry, song, calligraphy, and chess.```
Even if the scholarly types aren't particularly handsome, they still come over to sit for a while, taste the food, and listen to some tunes.
The second floor features private rooms, where Chu Jin, dressed in a red outfit, sits at a table, with red lips and white teeth, looking exactly like a young noble from a prominent family.
When this young master from a prestigious family opened his mouth, not a single good word came out: "Is this the best songstress at the Drunken Red Mansion? I think she can't even be considered a wild girl!"
"What is Young Master Chu saying?"
A middle-aged woman with lingering charm, dressed in red, walked over and said with a smile, "Qing'er is ill and cannot sing, so I'm afraid that Young Master Chu would take offense. I found another fairly good girl to replace her. I didn't expect Young Master Chu to notice so quickly; you truly deserve to be called a young genius."
Regarding the brothel owner's words, Chu Jin found them very useful, but upon hearing that Qing'er was sick and couldn't sing, he still frowned: "I've been waiting for her to get better for several days now. Why is it that the moment I arrive, she falls seriously ill?"
“Isn't this just a matter of coincidence?”
The brothel madam half-jokingly complained, “With her sick, I don't know how much money my 'Drunken Red Mansion' will lose.”
“Mama has already made enough money.”
Chu Jin has a good relationship with her, and Le jokingly said, “Even I’ve spent quite a bit of silver in the drunken red mansion, not to mention others.”
“Other people aren’t as generous as Young Master Chu.”
The proprietress scolded lightly, tapping Chujin's forehead: "If you keep this up, you're going to get married soon, and I guess you won't be coming back anymore. I'll end up losing quite a bit of silver, my dear."
“Isn't this still undecided?”
Chu Jin boldly poured herself a glass of wine: “I don't want to marry, and the young lady from the Nan family doesn't want to marry either. This matter is still an unknown in Chengdu.”
The brothel keeper didn't want to get involved in anything related to officials and quickly changed the subject.
“Mama, I have a new girl here who might not know how to sing a little tune, but she dances quite well. If you're interested, I can call her over to keep you company.”
Chu Jin is different from other young masters; he would never lay a hand on the girls of the Drunken Red Chamber, which has earned him a good impression from the girls.
"Then I thank you, Mama."
Chu Jin happily seeks to please.
Seeing the remarkably handsome face of the young man, the madam couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself.
She had been in this line of work for over ten years; what kind of young talents hadn't she encountered? How could she be mesmerized by a mere kid?
```htmlBut it must be said that Chu Jin's face is exceptionally stunning.
Even knowing that his true nature is that of a dandy, one would not look down on his extraordinary charm.
Chu Jin leisurely sipped his wine while watching the girls dance, enjoying the moment to the fullest.```
But this calm was soon broken.
"Young master."
De Fu hurriedly rushed in: "Not good, Miss Nan has come to seek vengeance."
"What is she seeking vengeance for?"
Chu Jin was already half-drunk, somewhat unclear in her mind, and did not realize the urgency of the situation.
"Young master."
Defu was so anxious that he jumped: "If Miss Ruan finds out, then the old master will know too."
They had snuck out.
"What are you afraid of?"
Chu Jin casually said, "What right does she, someone who isn't even married yet, have to interfere in my business? Today, I must meet this legendary Miss Nan."
After speaking, he set down his wine cup and stumbled forward.
“Young master, you’ve taken the wrong way, it should be this way.”
Defu reminded helplessly.
He just hoped that his young master wouldn't anger the Miss of the Nan family later; otherwise, he would get punished when they returned.
```html“Who is Nan Wan?”
Chu Jin, slightly drunk, said.
A large crowd of commoners gathered at the entrance of the Drunken Red Building, all there to see the commotion.
With the wedding approaching, Chu Jin was still wandering around the brothel. If they were the young ladies of the Nan Mansion, they would surely want to slap him a few times.```
```htmlBut thinking of the other person's body, she could only give up.
“Chu Jin, you have some nerve.”
A beautiful young woman pointed at Chu Jin and scolded, “Daring to go to a brothel.”
How much bad luck has her family’s young lady encountered to end up with such a disaster?```
“Are you Nan Wan?”
Chu Jin glanced at her a few times and muttered to himself, “Not that good-looking.”
"You..."
The woman was about to explode with rage.
This lowly, frivolous guy was truly annoying in every way.
“Su Tang, you mustn't be rude.”
The voice from the carriage reprimanded lightly but firmly.
Reluctantly, Su Tang stepped aside.
Only then did everyone realize that the young lady of the Nan family hadn't made her appearance yet.

“So it turns out you aren’t!”
Chu Jin suddenly realized: “But it’s understandable.”
"You..."
Su Tang was once again trembling with anger at him.
“I’m truly sorry for coming here uninvited today; it was indeed Nan Wan’s mistake.”

The curtain of the carriage was lifted slightly, and the person inside intended to step out.
Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes, eager to catch a glimpse of the South family's young lady's beauty.
In the mortal realm, there is both truth and deception; nothing can compare to witnessing it with one's own eyes.
“Chu Jin.”
The woman appeared frail; even in March, she wore a heavy fox fur coat. Despite a hint of illness on her face, it did nothing to detract from her beauty; her features were strikingly lovely.
“Nan Wan.”
Chu Jin woke up from his drunken state, and he vaguely felt that this person seemed familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
But he was sure he had never met the other party.
Then where did this inexplicable sense of familiarity come from?
"It's really strange."
Chu Jin secretly thought to herself.
Nan Wan stepped forward and held Chu Jin's hand.
Her fingers were slender but as cold as jade.
Chu Jin shivered involuntarily from her grasp.
"Why is it so cold?"
He subconsciously tightened his grip on Nan Wan's hand and scolded, "Why didn't you wear more?"
"I didn't have time to remember,"
Nan Wan explained softly.
"Then hurry back,"
Chu Jin's brows were slightly furrowed with concern: "It wouldn't be good if you catch a cold."
He speaks from experience; every time he falls seriously ill, his mother will force him to drink a very bitter medicine. Even though she promises to give him candied fruits after the treatment, he still finds it terrifying.
But in this situation, such words would sound very strange.
The crowd was stunned.
When did that wastrel from the Chu family ever start to care for others?
De Fu suspects that his young master has been possessed by someone else; otherwise, how could he say such things?
"I'll take you back."
Chu Jin volunteered enthusiastically.
It's very unsafe for a young lady to go back by herself.
"Okay."
Nan Wan had a smile on her face: "Let's go!"
"Understood."
Chu Jin thoughtfully lifted the curtain of the carriage for Nan Wan to get in, while he took on the role of the coachman.
“Giddy up.”
```htmlThe carriage has already left.
"It's really strange."
No one knows who muttered first, but everyone began to discuss in a flurry.
"Miss."
Su Tang said with a distressed face, "I haven't even gotten on the carriage yet?"
De Fu looked deeply troubled, "Young Master, you've caused a big mess. I can't cover for you; when you come back, you'd better go find Father for punishment yourself!"```
The two exchanged a glance, which carried a sense of mutual recognition and understanding.
