Chapter 1606 is no longer who he once was
"Master, let’s stay at the same inn with Chuan’er for now. Chuan’er is clearly still angry with you," Shen Yun persuaded, "If we return just like this, it would appear that we have no sincerity in bringing Chuan’er home."
Although Xiao Chonghuan was displeased, he still followed his Lady’s suggestion and entered the inn.
Li Mu saw that they were not pestering the Master, but merely staying in the same inn, which was their freedom, so he let them be.
In the following days, it spread throughout the entire capital city that the legitimate son of the Xiao Family head, who had been missing for five years, reappeared. The Xiao couple, staying at the inn, constantly tried to persuade him to return to the Xiao family.
At the same time, the even more sensational news was that the initial night of the number one beauty, Miss Hua Xiang, which could have sold for 100,000 taels of silver, was sold for just 1,000 taels of silver. This disparity spread as far as it could within a few days, with inns, restaurants, and every street corner abuzz with the talk.
Affairs of romance and intrigue, who doesn’t love to listen to them?
At that moment, the Secret Fragrance Sparse Shadow brothel, where Hua Xiang resided, became even more famous. Guests nearly trampled the threshold, business was booming daily, and the girls could not handle the influx, prompting the purchase of another batch of prostitutes.
Rather, the news that the number one beauty, Gongsun Qianru, was divorced by the third young Master of a second-class Family, Ning Bolan, was overshadowed by the other two hot topics, and fewer people were interested.
In one of the side rooms of the inn, Xiao Yuchuan stood by the window, gazing at the bustling crowd on the street.
Guard Li Mu, standing behind him, cautiously spoke, "Master, Master Xiao and Lady Xiao implored this subordinate to persuade you to return to the Xiao Family. I am just a mere servant, and they were willing to lay down their pride, which shows how much they care about you as their son."
"What they care about is not me, but the Xiao Family’s ancestral line."
"Master, do you really not plan to recognize the Xiao couple?"
