Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 248: Lost

At this time, a middle-aged couple with luxurious clothes and graceful temperament walked in from the gate, followed by a servant holding a gift box wrapped in red cloth.

The woman looked around the teahouse and exclaimed, "Chen'er's idea of ​​a 'membership system' is a great one. You see, Siyitang is not like other places where all kinds of people come together. It's really quiet."

The husband beside her smiled and said, "This idea was not thought up by our son, but by our future daughter-in-law."

The woman was surprised and asked, "Really? Then I must take a good look at our daughter-in-law later."

The man corrected her, "She's my future daughter-in-law. Don't stare at her and ask her questions. Don't scare her away."

The woman laughed heartily, "Once we sign the marriage certificate today, you won't be able to run away even if you want to."

Zhao Yunrong stopped walking on the stairs for a moment. He could no longer hear what the couple said. The word "marriage certificate" was just echoing in his ears.

She came here and changed into women's clothes specifically to get engaged to Tang Jingchen?

Zhao Yunrong's heart tightened instantly. He didn't expect Tang Jingchen to move so quickly!

Xie Mengwan looked at Zhao Yunrong who had suddenly stopped walking strangely, and was surprised to find that his originally calm expression suddenly became gloomy and cruel. She began to feel uneasy, "What's wrong, Brother Rong?"

"Wan Mei, I suddenly remembered that I have something important to deal with. I will accompany you another day."

"Brother Rong..."

Zhao Yunrong turned around and walked downstairs after saying this, ignoring Xie Mengwan who was calling him in surprise from behind. When he passed the middle-aged couple opposite who looked very happy, he glanced coldly at the wooden box wrapped in red cloth, and then quickened his pace a little.

Zhao Yunrong walked out of the gate of Siyi Hall, looked around the street, and then walked into a restaurant opposite.

After going up to the second floor and choosing a private room with a wide view facing the street, Zhao Yunrong almost immediately saw Xiao Guoer with a bandage on her hand in the teahouse opposite.

She had taken off her veil, and through the window he could only see her smiling profile, but it was enough to tell how pure and elegant her face was, and how stunningly beautiful she was.

It’s just a pity that such an intoxicating smile is shown to another man.

After Zhao Yunrong whispered a few words to Shen Jing behind him, he closed the window, leaving only a gap through which one could barely glimpse the situation outside.

After a cup of tea, there was a faint glow of fire in the backyard of Siyi Hall, followed by a series of exclamations coming from afar.

"The fire is coming! Run!"

"The fire is coming! Bring some water!"

Panicked people kept pouring out of the gate of Siyi Hall. Among them, a woman wearing a veil and trapped in the arms of a man beside her also hurried out with the crowd.

After a while, a group of soldiers rushed into the gate of Siyi Hall carrying buckets of water.

When the fire in Siyi Hall was finally put out, nearly half of the building had been burned down, and the other parts that were not burned were completely unrecognizable due to smoke and fire. Fortunately, the fire started in the backyard and was discovered in time, so no casualties were caused.

Zhao Yunrong looked at the wooden box wrapped in red cloth that Shen Jing brought back. He gently pulled his fingers and the knot on the cloth loosened.

When the exquisite nanmu box was opened, inside was found a roll of gold-embossed cloth in addition to a piece of fine jade.
