Chapter 240 - "Sweet Kiss"

Wang Pinhong instructed the madam and quickly followed the group of people ahead. They arrived upstairs and entered a very elegant room. Guided by the ladies, it seems that the young master of the Wang family has been well trained in the past and is now familiar with the place.
The girls flocked around the three young masters and took their seats, with their personal servants standing not far behind them. Although they were supposed to obey the young masters, even if they were flirtatious, the servants couldn't control them. Over time, they had become accustomed to this.
Among them, the most emotional one is Yi'er. His face is full of sorrow and anxiety. He worries about Wanning and his own fate.
He took a few steps forward and whispered in Gao Ziang's ear, "Young master, your father doesn't allow you to come to such places. How am I, Yi'er, supposed to explain to your father with you looking like this?"
Just as he was about to speak, there's also Miss Wan Ning. If she knew that young master is frolicking around in such a place, how heartbroken she would be. But then again, isn't it because of Wan Ning that young master is like this? Bringing up Miss again at this moment, wouldn't that be adding fuel to the fire?
He didn't want to provoke the young master's anger, so he couldn't say what was on his mind.
Gao Ziang, with a worried expression on his face, could of course hear Ying'er's advice, but he didn't say anything and ignored him.
Drinking a sip of the tea that the girls had just poured, he caught sight of the slender body of a woman as he placed down his teacup. He recognized her as Zhuyun.
"Young master, you've finally arrived. The girls have been eagerly awaiting your presence," Zhuyun spoke with a noticeably more obsequious tone than before.
Gao Ziang raised his head and gave her a slight smile, and his gaze fell on the peach blossom embroidery on Zhu Jun's chest, which looked quite beautiful.
From his eyes, it seemed that Zhu Jun sensed a different meaning. Only talking about the girls, what about herself? Of course, Zhu Jun hoped that ever since they last met, she had left an impression in his heart, even if she had no expectations, just curiosity. So she said, "And what about me? I have been longing for your arrival day and night."
Standing behind Gao Ziang, Yier became increasingly displeased with Zhu Yun's presence.
He knew that the young master was in high spirits at the moment and could not be disturbed, let alone dissuaded. Usually, under the heavy pressure of the master and Wanning, he would supervise the young master. But in a situation like this, he could not offer any advice and had to go for reinforcements.
While Gao Ziang was not paying attention, he secretly slipped away. But how could Gao Ziang not notice Yi'Er leaving? He watched Yi'Er go.
"Come, Zhu Jun will serve you." Zhu Jun's voice rang out again, bringing his gaze back. She handed him the wine she had just poured: "Zhu Jun will drink a glass first, and then it's your turn."
She drank a cup of wine in one gulp. Then she poured a cup for Gao Ziang and brought it to his lips.
Zhu Yun took the opportunity of feeding him wine to sit in his arms. Her delicate arm first hung on his shoulder and then wrapped around his neck. She was so fragile that he couldn't help but put his hand around her slender waist.
The glass of wine easily went into his stomach.
Wang Pinhong saw this scene and asked, "Jenny, you like Mr. Gao so much!"
When he asked this, Jenny felt a little embarrassed, and her face turned slightly red. She was thinking about how to answer in front of so many people. A girl next to her spoke louder, taking the lead to answer, "A handsome and wealthy young master, who wouldn't like him?"
So Wang Pinhong teased, "Miss Zhujun likes our young master Gao so much, why don't you give him a kiss?"
Although Zhujun was usually bold in the world of romance, she became shy at this moment. Her face turned bright red, and she smiled while burying her face in his shoulder.
Amidst the crowd's laughter, she lifted her head and left a sweet kiss on Gao Zi'ang's cheek, then rested her head on his shoulder again.
After a few rounds of wine, Zhu Yun, who was already slightly drunk, felt weak but had a natural smile on her face. Her bright eyes followed his gaze closely, yet a hint of helplessness and resignation was visible beneath the surface. She picked up a piece of candied fruit and fed it to him, staring at his handsome profile, seemingly content.
At this moment, Yi'er hurriedly walked towards the Gao Mansion.
The young master has violated the family rules, and the master knows that there will be punishment. If he stays overnight in the Qinfang Pavilion tonight, the offense will be even greater. If I haven't taken good care of the young master, I will suffer too. And it's even more important for Miss Wanneng, the young master must not do anything that would wrong her.
He became more and more anxious as he thought about it. But who should he look for for help? Should he just go and tell the master directly? This is the first time for the young master, it's not that serious, right? If it's possible, he would rather not let the master know. It suddenly occurred to him that it wouldn't help to go back to the Gao residence, so he immediately stopped in his tracks.
He thought of going to the Li Mansion to tell Miss Wanning, but if Miss Wanning returned to the palace tonight, it would be pointless to go, and it's getting late now, there is not much time to waste. Who else can he find?
Yier thought for a while and suddenly came up with Zhang Hanyu. Perhaps Master Zhang could help, so he went to Zhang Mansion and asked for his help.
When Yier told Master Zhang that the young master had gone to Qinfangge, he was greatly surprised. Yier felt fortunate, seeing his reaction, he knew he had found the right person this time.
"Young master Zhang, although I am just a servant and have no right to interfere in your affairs, but you can't do this!"
"Yier, you are right. Let's find a solution together. He was brought up with strict upbringing, how could he do such a thing? Besides, how can he face Wan Ning?"
Yier nodded, indicating agreement.
Zhang Hanyu pondered and hesitated, saying, "But if I go, I will only cause trouble for others. I can't openly confront the backstage, this is not a joke. How about disguising as an official to arrest people? I don't have any soldiers under my command."
"Young master, your concern is that we cannot impersonate soldiers, as that is a capital offense."
"Don't worry, let me think. Oh, my father, he has some people under his command. I will explain the situation to him. He despises the young master's frivolous behavior the most, so he will definitely agree. My father and your honorable father have been friends for many years, so he will surely intervene."
After a moment's thought, he confidently said, "Yes, let's find my father."
"Young master is wise."
Within a short period of time, Zhang Deyou led more than ten soldiers to break into Qin Fangge. The madam, with the backing of the government, felt fearless: "Military officer, we are just conducting legitimate business."
The pheasant does not speak, which is fine, but as soon as she speaks, several soldiers come up and take control of her.
The pheasant remains unfazed: "Why bother with me, young man? There are beautiful women all around. Do you have such preferences?"
Zhang Deyou stepped forward and stared at her for a moment before snorting coldly, "No more nonsense! Where is Young Master Gao? Speak!"
"Ah, sir, we are engaged in a legitimate transaction! Has Young Master Gao done something wrong?"
Zhang Deyou said, "It's none of your business about Young Master Gao! If you keep blabbering, I'll take you away with him!"
Of course, the madam didn't want to be involved, tremblingly she pointed upstairs to the room where Gao Ziang and the others were. As Zhang Deyou brought the troops into the elegant room, Gao Ziang was already drunk, and the girls spared no effort to make him happy, seemingly enjoying themselves to the fullest.
"Take Master Gao away!" Zhang Deyou commanded.
"Yes, sir." Several soldiers stepped forward and carried Gao Ziang out of the Qin Fang Pavilion.
