Please Do Not Get Close to Fourth Brother Again (Part Four)

Yu Fu believed them.

If they were skilled at abducting girls, they would not be so cowardly, immediately becoming lost upon seeing the old woman fall.

“Since you were also abducted, do you want to work a proper job?”

“Proper job…”

The two had blank looks on their faces.
They had become prostitutes at a young age.
Aside from this, what else could they do?

“Young miss, we… we don’t know how to do anything.”

Yu Fu remembered that she still had some important matters to handle today and pulled out a couple of small scraps of gold from her coin purse, “Take these.
Once you’ve thought things through, come and find me.
She was struck by my poison needle.
If you want to save her life, send her to the medical clinic.
If you don’t want to save her, just send her to the government office in the capital.
The people there will know how to deal with her.
Her life is in your hands.”

While the two were still stunned, Yu Fu left.

Seeing the old woman collapsed on the ground without waking up, the two hesitated for a while.

“Xing’er, we didn’t do anything earlier.
Did you hear what that young miss said? If we send the old woman to the government office, they will naturally know how to deal with her.
This means that the people at the government office recognize the young miss’ poison needles.”

“To be able to have officials immediately recognize them and know how to deal with them, just what sort of status must that person have…”

Yu Fu arrived at the building without a red lantern hanging out front and heard the voices of some women come from inside.
This made her think that she had come to the wrong house.

Just as she was planning to leave, she suddenly heard a woman shout and curse: “Shit! Did you think that just because you also became a noble after getting a noble guest? A man who sells his body is even lower than us women!”

“Wh-what nonsense are you spouting? When have I ever done such a thing?”

The man’s delicate and tender voice was trembling with anger, but Yu Fu was able to recognize that it belonged to Yu Guan.

He was like a ball of cotton sinking in a well.
He sank lower and lower until the well water had completely permeated his being.
He restrained himself and kept a low profile, leaving others unable to read his true emotions.
All that remained was modesty.

Just like when they had first met backstage.

The words that had just been said were subtly filled with anger.
This was probably his limit, right?

“Oh, you’re angry?”

Another girl gave Yu Guan a shove, pushing him onto a chair, “The young sirs can scarcely be blamed for liking you.
A man who’s even prettier than a woman.
If I saw this, I’d like you too!”

She gently lifted Yu Guan’s chin, and Yu Guan subconsciously dodged back, accidentally falling back with the chair.

His body was instantly covered in the shells of the seeds that the prostitutes had spat out, and his clean clothes were dyed by the spit and would not come out no matter how hard he tried.

The more desperately that Yu Guan tried to pat himself clean, the more delighted the prostitutes became.

“Stop patting yourself.
No matter how hard you try, you won’t be clean.
People like us were dirty from birth.
Why bother pretending that you refuse to get close to us?”

“You are the dirty ones, not him.”

Without the sound of the door opening, there were only blue skies and distant mountains outside.
At the door was a young girl wearing court clothes with wide sleeves, and she had the bearing of a deity.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Aside from people like them, the only people who visited shady areas like these would be hedonistic sons of wealthy families.

How could such a noble young miss appear?

Her beautiful court clothes and elegant ornaments, it was likely that only someone that beautiful would be worthy of wearing them, right?

“Young miss Yu Fu?”

Yu Guan looked at her in disbelief and wanted to step forward to greet her but was worried that his dirty clothes could affect Yu Fu.
He could only salute her from a distance.

It was not because of her status.
It was just because she had suddenly appeared when he was looking for help.

“Young miss Yu Fu? This name sounds familiar.”

One person wanted to step forward for a closer look, and Yu Guan immediately rushed forward to stop them, “Don’t run into young miss Yu Fu.
She has already been conferred the title of Princess ZhenJiang by His Majesty.
She is not someone you can afford to offend!”

Princess ZhenJiang?

They remembered.
The daughter that Lord Marquis Gu was raising, was she not the one His Majesty had just conferred the title of princess? Was her name Yu Fu?

Her name had been spread through the capital, and it was because of last year’s palace banquet.
At that time, she had been nicknamed the deity of the zither.

“You’re messing with us! How could a princess come to a place like this?”

The prostitutes were quite uncertain, and Yu Fu raised her hand.
The silver needles between her fingers were particularly eye-catching.

“How about you try it?”

The rumors said that Princess ZhenJiang was a disciple of the Deity of Medicine and was an immortal practitioner of poison from Immortals Valley.
If they really were pricked by her needles, what would happen?

It was better to believe that there was than believe that there was not, and everyone retreated from Yu Guan’s room.

Yu Fu nodded to him: “Go and get changed first.
There’s no need to worry about me.”

Yu Guan awkwardly cupped his hands then retreated behind a screen.
He quickly changed into clean clothes and came back out.

While he was changing, Yu Fu looked over his room and came to an understanding.

He was someone who liked cleanliness.
Although his room was plainly furnished, it had a simple elegance to it.
It did not look like it belonged to a lively actor.
Instead, it looked like it belonged to a hermit.

Unfortunately, the clean floor was made dirty and unseemly by the sunflower seed shells.

Yu Guan did not have time to worry about this, “Young miss Yu Fu, did you come looking for this lowly one? Did something happen to the fourth young sir?”

“You must have heard about third brother’s personality, and there’s no need for me to tell you what he hates the most.
You should also know how fourth brother will be punished.
I came to tell you-”

“In the future, please don’t get close to fourth brother and lead him down a bad path!”
