[QTC] MBDT Chapter 1643

After Zhao Erhu finished speaking, he secretly observed her expression. Seeing that she seemed normal, he guessed that the person wasn’t important.

“Are you free tonight? Come with me to the Yihong Courtyard.” Bei Yutang said softly.

Whether that girl was Daya or not, only she would know after she met her.

Zhao Erhu nodded subconsciously, but quickly froze, looking at her in surprise, “Mrs. Mu, you…you are a woman.”

Bei Yutang said calmly, “Just become a man. Isn’t that enough?”

Zhao Erhu: …

Zhao Erhu wanted to say that even if a woman wore men’s clothes, it was still obvious that she was a woman, but after meeting Bei Yutang’s eyes, he said nothing.

Bei Yutang had a set of men’s clothing in her closet, prepared for convenience, which came in handy.

When Zhao Erhu saw Bei Yutang again, he couldn’t recognize the handsome young man before him as Mrs. Mu. If she hadn’t spoken, Zhao Erhu wouldn’t have believed it.

“Madam, your move was truly brilliant!” Zhao Erhu exclaimed in amazement.

Bei Yutang corrected him, “It’s Young Master.”

Zhao Erhu slapped his forehead: “Right, right, it’s Young Master! My memory is terrible!”

“Let’s go.”

Zhao Erhu led the way toward the Yihong Courtyard.

After passing through several streets, they finally saw a street adorned with red lanterns. The shops along the street all had red lanterns hanging high, and women dressed in flamboyant attire stood at the entrances.

These women were scantily clad and heavily made up; they would approach any passerby and solicit business.

When Bei Yutang and Zhao Erhu arrived, the group of courtesans immediately surrounded them. Zhao Erhu waved them off and pointed to the Yihong Courtyard not far away. Many girls gave up, but there were exceptions.

“Sir, what’s so great about the Yihong Courtyard? The girls in our brothel are much gentler and know how to serve you better. I guarantee you won’t want to leave once you go in.”

“No need.” Zhao Erhu refused.

If he hadn’t come here on business, he really would have liked to try it. The girls at Chunhua Pavilion were renowned for their skills, being among the best in Linzhou Prefecture.

Zhao Erhu refused, but they didn’t let him go.

Bei Yutang was about to rescue him when the sound of a carriage came from the street corner. As soon as the girls saw the luxurious carriage, they immediately let go of Zhao Erhu and ran toward it.

Bei Yutang only glanced at them curiously, but when her gaze fell on the Gu Merchants’ emblem fluttering in the wind on the carriage, her eyes narrowed involuntarily.

The carriage passed by them and continued on its way.

“Let’s go.” Zhao Erhu said to Bei Yutang, no longer bothered.

But seeing Bei Yutang staring at the carriage, he smiled and said, “Mrs. Mu, you probably don’t know who’s driving that carriage, do you?”

Bei Yutang didn’t speak, but Zhao Erhu continued, “See that emblem on the front of the carriage? That’s the emblem of the Gu Merchants. The people of the Gu Merchants are incredibly powerful. In just a few years, they’ve opened shops all over the Southern Tang Kingdom and even expanded their business to our Great Zhou Dynasty. Many people are saying that in a few years, the Gu Merchants will probably surpass the Lei Merchants of our Great Zhou Dynasty.”

“It won’t surpass them.” Bei Yutang said coldly.

In her previous life, before her reincarnation, the Gu Merchants could only catch up with the Lei Merchants. So it would take some time before they surpassed it. As for whether they would surpass it later, she didn’t know, only because she had returned.

However, in this life, she would absolutely not allow the Gu Merchants to become too powerful.
