Madam, don't do this!

Chapter 26: Princess Gaoyang's Unharmonious Marriage Life (Seeking Vote)
It was late at night, but Huaiqing Street in Songjiang Prefecture was still brightly lit. The streets were lined with lanterns, like a vast and never-extinguished fireworks display. The vendors were shouting loudly, and some were beating drums and gongs, which turned out to be acrobatic artists.

The excitement and revelry will probably last until the early morning. In addition, the opening of Qun Yu Yuan today is a nationally renowned brothel, which has attracted many literati and poets who want to experience the intoxicating service of Dongling.

Almost every prostitute has a customer, and this kind of thing is not suitable for group buying.

Many people could only sit in the hall and listen to the singing of the graceful figure behind the curtain.

That is a prostitute who sells his art but not his body.

Some young talents would take their newly written lyrics to actors to sing, which often drew praise. The talented men would compete with each other, which was quite elegant.

If one could truly write a good poem, they would be treated with courtesy and respect wherever they went. Although some people say that poetry is merely a minor art form and has no use in governing a country or bringing peace to the world, it is undeniable that without those poems that have been passed down through the ages, the civilization of the Han people would be less fragrant.

Opposite is an inn.

If you are tired of going in and out of Qun Yuyuan, it would be nice to go to sleep across the street... After all, not everyone who goes to a brothel has money to spend the night.

Two figures were reflected in a street-facing window of the inn. They were two girls. One of them was slender, dressed in white, holding a long sword, looking like a female knight.

The other person was twenty years old, with her three thousand black hair tied up in a bun, dressed as a woman.

She has picturesque features and a slender waist, but her chest and hips are very plump, and her thighs are round and slender. Even though she is wearing loose clothes, her full curves can still be seen from behind.

The woman in white was Luo Tianyi, who hitchhiked here. As for the other person, she was Fang Jun's wife, Princess Gaoyang. Although she was beautiful, there was always a trace of indelible sadness in her eyes, especially when she saw her husband's figure below, her sadness became even worse.

Maybe the married life is not harmonious.

Judging from their seniority, the two are cousins, but Princess Gaoyang is of genuine royal blood, while Luo Tianyi is adopted. However, Gaoyang does not look down on Luo Tianyi. The Fang family did not attend the wedding ceremony at the Luo family, and their relationship seems to be average. However, it is unknown how the two met, and their relationship seems to be quite good.

"Then he must be my brother-in-law, right?" Because Gao Yang was one year older than Luo Tianxuan, he called him his brother-in-law: "He's quite a formidable figure."

"Awesome?" Luo Tianyi raised an eyebrow. "Even after being bullied like that, he didn't dare to resist. I don't see how he's so awesome."

Princess Gaoyang covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled softly, "Do you think everyone is like you, drawing their swords and hurting others at the slightest disagreement? He just provoked a conflict and completely destroyed the reputation that the Song family had worked so hard to maintain, and also made Song Yun lose his fiancée."

"I'm afraid that when Song Yun called him, he had already guessed what the Song brothers would do and say, and had already thought of a way to deal with it."

As she spoke, Princess Gaoyang frowned. She saw Fang Jun downstairs move.

Ever since Song Zhen personally admitted the filthiness of the Duke's Mansion, Fang Jun has looked down upon the three Song brothers. Although they are Dukes, they are ultimately from a small family and lack the heritage of a truly famous family.

It was just that Fang Jun was very cunning and did not show it. He even had a gentle smile on his face. He was waving a folding fan even though it was raining. Princess Gaoyang in the attic could not bear to watch any longer. This pretentious look made her feel ashamed and she felt embarrassed to look at him any longer.

Fang Jun didn't know what his wife was thinking, so he just clasped his fists towards Song Yan and said, "Brother Song, please."

"Please."

"Brother Song, we are all family, why do we have to do this? If there is anything, we can just discuss it behind closed doors as a family. Why make a fuss in public?" Fang Jun tried to smooth things over with a smile.

Although he looked down on the Song brothers, they were his companions after all, so he had to say a word for them at this time... Of course, this kind of help was only superficial, so as not to make others feel that he was not a good friend, and it would not go too deep.

After a brief pause, he looked at Gu Banxia again: "Is this girl your maid?"

Song Yan felt disgusted by the look, but he remained patient and asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Fang Jun didn't take it seriously. He turned around and pointed at the four girls behind him and said, "I wonder what Brother Song thinks of these four maids of mine?"

Song Yan glanced casually. The four girls were dressed quite beautifully, with nice figures and fair skin. They were all sixteen or seventeen, the most beautiful age for a girl. However, no amount of rouge could hide the haggardness within. Their eyes were dull and empty, devoid of light. Fang Jun looked somewhat smug. "To be honest, I really like Brother Song's maids. I'd like to exchange four of them for them. What do you think, Brother Song?"

In the attic, Princess Gaoyang's face turned as gloomy as iron when she heard her husband's words. Her small hands gripped the windowsill so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Even though she had known about her husband's absurdity for a long time, she still felt ashamed, angry, and disappointed.

"Don't care about your man?"

"What do you mean by 'my man'? Have you ever seen a man who would let his wife stay alone in the empty room on their wedding night? I was lying on the bed and he was sitting on the chair, and we spent the whole night like that." Princess Gaoyang sneered at herself.

I've actually seen it, like my brother-in-law? But that was a special case, Luo Tianyi thought to himself, "Is he not good enough?"

"He's very good with other people's women." Princess Gaoyang pursed her lips. "He likes to exchange concubines and maids with others. If this world allows wives to be exchanged like concubines, I believe he would exchange me without hesitation."

It is a woman's sorrow to marry such a man.

Gao Yang was very depressed, but she couldn't tell her mother-in-law, mother, or even the maidservants around her about this depression. Only Luo Tianyi was the best listener. She knew that it was best not to let others know about these things, but if she continued to hold it in like this, she would go crazy.

"Do you think he will change?" Gao Yang asked after a pause.

Luo Tianyi's lips curled up slightly: "No."

There was a commotion in front of the Qun Yu Garden. Many young talents were watching this scene with great interest. There were boos and jeers, but no one accused Fang Jun of being morally corrupt. In the eyes of scholars, it was normal to use beautiful concubines to entertain guests. If the guests liked one, it was not impossible to give her away directly or exchange her with each other. It might even be regarded as a good story.

It is certainly difficult to understand from a modern perspective, but in this era, women had a low social status. It was okay if she could become a wife, but if she was just a maid or a concubine, she would be no different from an object to the master.

Song Yan knew that the ancients played very elaborate games, but he never expected to encounter one himself.

Many women also silently looked at Song Yan. Even Meng Lingling and Meng Tongfu, who had taken a few steps and were about to leave, stopped.

Although the woman next to Song Yan is more beautiful, but... one for four!
As they spoke, the four girls opposite also subconsciously looked at Song Yan, and their dull and empty eyes also had a little more light. Looking at the woman next to the young man, as women themselves, they could tell at a glance that this woman was living a very comfortable life.

Those pairs of eyes inevitably showed more anticipation.

Gu Banxia's body trembled slightly, and her face turned pale.

The two of them were close together, and Song Yan could sense Gu Banxia's reaction. He smiled softly. Although he was younger than Gu Banxia, ​​he seemed like an adult. He gently touched Gu Banxia's head and gave her a reassuring look. Then he looked at Fang Jun across from him and said, "Sorry, I don't have this habit."

Fang Jun was startled for a moment, then frowned. "I'm sincere, Brother Song, why are you rejecting me so tightly? To be honest, my father is the governor of Songzhou. If Brother Song is willing to help me, I will do my best to help you if you need anything in the future."

The tone of voice gives off the feeling of "I'm done pretending, I'm laying my cards on the table."

Knowing his identity, there are countless people who are eager to send their concubines to his bed. He believes that Song Yan will be no exception. This is a negotiation and also a threat.

Song Yan smiled and shook his head, holding Gu Banxia's hand: "Let's go."

Fang Jun was stunned. He didn't expect that in this small Songzhou Prefecture, there would actually be someone who dared to reject him.

Seeing this, Song Lu frowned and quickly walked up to Song Yan, whispering, "Song Yan, we must build a good relationship with the Fang family. This is father's arrangement. Don't ruin father's plan. It's just a maid. It's okay to exchange her. One for four, you won't suffer any loss..."

It was a bit embarrassing after all, so Song Lu spoke in a low voice.

Song Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice:
"It's your mother's turn."
