Finest Servant Chapter 65

Chapter 65 Qin Xian'er (Part 1)

Lin Wanrong didn't realize that his every move was being watched by others. He couldn't help but feel that the young lady beside him had a plump chest and a great touch. He might have been a little too heavy-handed, and she let out a soft moan like a cat, her eyes filled with flirtation.

“Xiao Hong, when will Miss Qin come out tonight?” Young Master Guo asked the woman serving him.

Xiao Hong gave Young Master Guo a seductive glance, playfully squirming in his arms, and cooed, “Hmm, Young Master Guo, why do you care about Miss Qin when you're with me? Hmm, I don't care; I'm sticking with you tonight.”

Guo Wuchang laughed heartily, “Little vixen, don't worry, you'll be well taken care of tonight. Besides, I just want to hear Miss Qin sing, why are you getting jealous?”

The enchanting woman on the other side of Young Master Guo said, “Rest assured, Young Master Guo, not only you, but look, there's also Young Master Cheng and Young Master Luo, many young masters have come to show their support. Miss Qin will definitely make an appearance. When the time comes, it'll be up to your skills, Young Master Guo.”

Young Master Guo's expression darkened upon hearing the names of Cheng and Luo. When he looked at the two groups sitting on the other side, his spirits dampened.

Seeing Young Master Guo's change of expression, Lin Wanrong asked, “What's wrong, young master?”

Young Master Guo didn't want to appear weak in front of the ladies of the night, so he smiled and said, “Nothing, I just saw some acquaintances.”

Lin Wanrong glanced over and saw six tables in the distance clearly split into two groups, each with young men in their twenties, each surrounding a young person. The two groups ignored each other and chatted amongst themselves.

The two leading young masters, one on the left, in his twenties, had a fair complexion and a dignified appearance. However, his eyes were shifty, revealing his cunning nature. The one on the right was younger, around eighteen or nineteen years old, with a jade-like face and red lips, quite handsome.

The two young masters were clearly competing, occasionally glancing at each other with disdain.

So these were the famous Young Master Cheng and Young Master Luo? They seemed to be from wealthy and influential families. Lin Wanrong understood why Young Master Guo sighed. Compared to their status and wealth, Young Master Guo had no chance. As for talent, he was even more out of his league. Winning the top courtesan tonight seemed like an impossible task.

“What's wrong, brother? Don't you recognize Young Master Cheng and Young Master Luo?” The girl beside Lin Wanrong whispered as she slid her hand into his chest, caressing him while leaning close to his ear.

Teased by the girl, Lin Wanrong's desire gradually ignited. He was no longer a naive man, having experienced all sorts of things with his previous girlfriends, but in this world, he was still a “virgin.” Naturally, he didn't want to waste his precious “first time” on these ladies of the night, so he controlled himself, giving the girl's ample chest a squeeze and said, “Yeah, it's my first time in a place like this. I need your guidance, sister.”

The girl, feeling weak from his touch, knew his prowess and flirtatiously replied, “Brother, stop pretending. If this is your first time here, then I'm still a pure and innocent girl, hehe.”

Lin Wanrong laughed, rubbing her behind for a bit. The girl let out a moan before saying, “These two young masters are indeed influential figures. The one on the left, Young Master Cheng, is the son of Jiangsu's Commander-in-Chief, Cheng De. His name is Cheng Ruinian. The one on the right is even more remarkable. He's the son of our Jiangsu Governor, Luo Min. His name is Luo Yuan.”

Lin Wanrong had studied some of the ancient books left behind by Old Man Wei and had some understanding of the local government system.

The Great Hua Dynasty's local government system consisted of a governor and three divisions: the Administration, the Judiciary, and the Military. The governor was the highest-ranking official in a province, overseeing the three divisions and maintaining the local order.

However, the Military division was unique. The Commander-in-Chief was in charge of the military but was under the direct control of the central government. This meant that while the governor was the Commander-in-Chief's superior in name, they didn't have control over the military. This system was established by the founding emperor to prevent local officials from amassing power and rebelling.

Although Luo Min, the Governor of Jiangsu, was Cheng De's superior, they belonged to different factions. Cheng De didn't fear Luo Min, so naturally, Young Master Cheng Ruinian didn't fear Young Master Luo Yuan.

Both young masters were among the most powerful individuals in Jiangsu, each with their own group of influential followers. They often encountered each other, making some clashes inevitable, especially when competing for the favor of the top courtesan.

Lin Wanrong thought for a moment and quickly understood the situation. Compared to these two young masters, Young Master Guo's status as the son of a county magistrate in Suzhou was practically insignificant.

It was already dusk, and the Miao Yu Pavilion was bustling with people coming and going, filled with laughter and noise, making it a lively scene. The courtesan called Qin Xian'er hadn't yet appeared, but the followers of Cheng Ruinian and Luo Yuan were already getting rowdy, with drinks flowing and the atmosphere growing even more intense.

However, Young Masters Cheng and Luo seemed to maintain their dignity, despite their mutual dislike. They were both scholars and were here to admire Miss Qin, the courtesan, so they didn't want to embarrass themselves in front of others.

Luo Min, Luo Yuan? Lin Wanrong suddenly remembered the spectacular scene he had witnessed on Xuanwu Lake, directed by Young Master Hou Yuebai, in which the phoenix courted its mate. Wasn't the object of that performance the daughter of the Governor of Jiangsu, the so-called number one beauty and talented woman in Jinling? That would make Luo Yuan her brother, right? Judging by Luo Yuan's pretty boy appearance, the Governor's daughter must be quite attractive as well. Moreover, according to Qiaoqiao, Miss Luo was kind-hearted, and it was thanks to her help that Qiaoqiao had the opportunity to learn to read and write.

As Lin Wanrong pondered, the two girls beside him thought he was scared and playfully reassured him, “Don't worry, big brother. Although those two young masters have impressive backgrounds, they're all show and no substance. Look at you, you're so much stronger than them. I like that.”

Lin Wanrong laughed but before he could say anything, a clear “dong” sound rang out, crisp and melodious, like celestial music gracing their ears. The noisy commotion in the building suddenly came to a halt.

“It's Qin Xian'er!” The followers of Luo Yuan and Cheng Ruinian burst into excited cheers. Young Master Guo, who had been taking advantage of the situation, froze in place, murmuring, “It's Miss Qin. Is she coming out?”

The door to a room in the center of the second floor silently opened, and a beaded curtain hung down. A beautiful silhouette could be seen sitting behind the curtain. Without seeing her face or hearing her voice, just one glimpse was enough to drive the men downstairs wild with excitement.
