Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 971: The Order of Qinghua Tower

Ever since Bai Junjun transmigrated, she has always worn Leviathan Skin, lamenting the rarity of such a style. The clothes, resembling butterflies, had very low necklines, exposing a large area of collarbone and chest. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

That patch of fair skin was captivating and hard to turn away from.

Li Wenli frowned, rummaging through a trunk to find a large patterned cloth to cover Bai Junjun’s forehead and neck.

"?" Bai Junjun was puzzled.

"Don’t forget, we are not like them. It’s better to keep covered. It’d be troublesome if you were recognized."

Of course, privately, he felt that outsiders did not deserve to see the young lady in such a manner.

Bai Junjun, without any suspicion, cooperatively hid herself before going to open the door.

The person knocking on the door was a gaudily dressed madam who, upon seeing Fei Hua covered so securely, could not hide her mocking gaze.

"I heard there was another quarrel last night? Quite a few things were smashed too?"

"Uh..." Bai Junjun nodded vaguely.

"You got another beating?" The woman’s voice grew increasingly high-pitched.

Bai Junjun noticed many neighbors poking their heads around the alley, all ears pricked up for gossip.

Although Bai Junjun liked to follow dramatic events, it didn’t mean she wanted to be the subject of gossip for others, so she remained silent.

But the patterned cloth covering her face said it all.

Er Meihua couldn’t help shaking her head: "How can you not stand up to a man as weak as a chick? Inept in bed, and still strutting around outside, thinking he’s the boss since he bought you out? If it hadn’t been for the Ninth Prince’s order to clear the brothel, it wouldn’t have been his turn to redeem someone!"

???

Bai Junjun was utterly confused, what was all this about?

She thought back to the content of last night’s marital spat, her mind whirling.

Could it be that this married couple’s story is that of a Scholar and a courtesan? But unlike the romances in storybooks of scholars and beauties eloping, was Fei Hua redeemed forcibly due to the Ninth Prince’s order to clear the brothel?

Understanding this, Bai Junjun felt a fresh impact.

These words from Er Meihua also caused the eavesdropping neighbors in the alley to whisper amongst themselves.

"What kind of person is she, listen to what she’s saying."

"A courtesan is still a courtesan, no matter if ’reformed’, still the same nature."

"In my opinion, Scholar Feng is getting what he deserves. He bypassed so many decent girls to redeem a brothel woman."

"Keep your voices down. This Mei Hua is married to the butcher at the alley entrance. That old bachelor treats this saucy woman like some treasure, dotes on her greatly. If you offend her and she cries about it to him, that butcher will certainly come knocking."

The neighbors murmured, but Mei Hua, overhearing, was not angry, instead arrogantly curling her lips: "Yes, my man is tough, all of you be careful. And the bookish fool inside, I’m warning you, if you dare lay a hand on my sisters again, I will castrate you and make sure you can never be a man again."

At that moment, Li Wenli, who was searching for male garments inside the room, paused slightly. It was the first time he had been publicly ridiculed for lacking bedroom skills, accused of domestic abuse; even threats of castration if he continued to strut around.

Li Wenli genuinely felt a great injustice done to him.

Outside, Mei Hua, completely unaware, turned back to Bai Junjun, "Can you still go with me to the Lower Right District today?"

"?" Bai Junjun was utterly confused. She was merely posing as someone else, not the real Fei Hua; how could she know what Fei Hua had promised Mei Hua?

To avoid giving herself away, she could only lower her voice to decline, "I’m afraid I cannot keep the appointment today, perhaps another day."
