Chapter 4 When Fan Xian saw Li Chengyun, he was dumbfounded!
Zuixianju, outside the vermilion lacquered gate.

Fan Xian, his brows filled with curiosity about the world, stared at the prosperous brothel.

After two lifetimes as a human being, this was the first time he stepped into this land of fireworks, his heart full of curiosity and exploration.

Fan Sizhe led Fan Xian inside as if he was revisiting an old place.

Inside Zuixianju, the fragrant breeze was blowing, the shadows of flowers were swaying, and the girls' sweet laughter and the sounds of the zither and harp were intertwined, making it seem like a dream.

The madam in the building recognized Fan Sizhe at a glance, and knowing that he was the Sixth Prince's close friend, she enthusiastically led the two to the private room on the third floor.

Fan Xian followed closely behind Fan Sizhe, his eyes wandering around, taking in the luxury of Zuixianju.

As you step onto the third floor, you'll see a huge embroidered screen with intricate patterns and exquisite embroidery, showing extraordinary craftsmanship.

Even though it is daytime.

But on the third floor, candlelight is still flickering, and the place is magnificent.

It is dotted with all kinds of precious treasures, which is extremely luxurious and dazzling.

Walking around the huge screen, I saw a quiet corner hidden by countless small screens.

Li Chengyun was holding the beauty in his arms, smiling sweetly.

When Fan Sizhe saw Li Chengyun, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He walked up to him and asked anxiously:
"Boss, have you ever heard that His Majesty intends to marry you to my sister?"

Li Chengyun nodded slightly to show that he understood.

Before Fan Sizhe opened his mouth, Fan Xian had already caught a glimpse of the beauty in Li Chengyun's arms and could not help but frown.

Although it was their first meeting, Fan Xian could vaguely sense Li Chengyun's romantic nature.

He felt sorry for his sister Fan Ruoruo and couldn't help but question Li Chengyun:
"Sixth Prince, you knew that you were engaged to Sister Ruoruo, but you still came to this place of fireworks. Don't you think it's against morality?"

Li Chengyun glanced at Fan Xian a few times and knew that this person was Fan Xian, the protagonist of Joy of Life, who was famous in Kyoto.

However, he didn't care about it. He just smiled faintly and continued to play with the beauty in his arms.

For Li Chengyun, his acquaintance with Fan Xian does not seem to bring him much benefit, but may instead bring him a lot of trouble.

So, he cleverly pretended not to know Fan Xian, and turned to Fan Sizhe beside him and asked softly:

"Who is this young man?"

Li Chengyun's question was careless, and Fan Sizhe's answer was also casual:
"Boss, this is Fan Xian. I've told you before that he is my father's illegitimate son in Danzhou, and also the illegitimate son of our Fan family. His status is naturally far inferior to that of my legitimate son."

Fan Sizhe deliberately emphasized the word "bastard", as if he wanted to belittle Fan Xian's status.

Fan Xian didn't care about Fan Sizhe's disrespectful words, and just looked at Li Chengyun indifferently.

After Fan Sizhe finished speaking, Li Chengyun smiled gently. Even though he was sitting on the ground at the moment, he had a majesty that looked down on everyone.

He said calmly: "Since you are the son of the Minister of Revenue, why don't you bow when you meet this prince?"

There was a hint of displeasure in Fan Xian's eyes, but he still saluted with his hands folded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:

"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince! However! If His Royal Highness cannot give me a reasonable explanation, my father, Si Nanbo, will report this matter to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to cancel this marriage!"

Before Li Chengyun could react, Fan Sizhe suddenly jumped up and hurriedly grabbed Fan Xian's sleeve:
"Are you stupid?! The last person who dared to talk to the boss like this is still lying in bed, and I don't know when he will recover!"

Fan Xian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this younger brother, who was not close to him, would take the initiative to stand up for him.

His opinion of Fan Sizhe changed a little. Li Chengyun saw this and smiled playfully.

He knew very well that Fan Xian was occupying the moral high ground to condemn him.

You are truly the new generation of youth from the 21st century, knowing how to play this trick!
In that case, then have some fun with him!
He chuckled and said, "I am naturally unhappy about marrying a woman I have never met. What's wrong with coming to Zuixianju to vent my anger?"

After hearing this, Fan Xian remained unmoved: "Since we have already been engaged, if Your Highness is dissatisfied, you can report it to His Majesty."

"But why did Your Highness choose to come to this place of fireworks? Wouldn't it make the people of Kyoto look down on my sister? And where would the reputation of my Fan family be?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengyun sneered and looked at Fan Xian as if he were a fool.

Fan Xian was still immersed in his own thoughts at this moment and did not notice the subtle changes around him.

Fan Sizhe, who was standing by, knew that Fan Xian knew nothing about Li Chengyun's true situation, so he reminded him in a low voice:

"Your Majesty is eager to arrange this marriage in order to stop the eldest brother from indulging in brothels. Others may have objections to this marriage, but the eldest brother has the least say."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian frowned and seemed to want to say something, but Li Chengyun spoke first:

"I once heard Sizhe mention that you were also dissatisfied with your marriage."

"Since we are in the same boat, why do you blame me so much?"

"Besides, what I did today might be a good thing for your sister."

Good thing? !
Fan Sizhe and Fan Xian looked at each other, both puzzled.

After all, if her fiancée were to linger in a brothel, Fan Ruoruo would inevitably be laughed at by other ladies from noble families.

Li Chengyun saw this, smiled slightly, and explained:
"As you just said, I am already engaged to your sister, but I still go to brothels."

"You just need to spread this matter. Your sister's reputation will certainly be damaged, but I will also become the target of public criticism."

"Then your father, Si Nanbo, can use this as an excuse to ask His Majesty to cancel the engagement. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

"Or do you think your sister must marry me?" Li Chengyun looked straight at Fan Xian with a burning gaze.

Fan Xian took a deep breath. Although he felt that what Li Chengyun said made sense, he still felt that there was something fishy behind this matter.

Just as he was deep in thought.

Li Chengyun suddenly waved his hand, and several beautiful women surrounded him.

"Brother Fan, you are Sizhe's elder brother, and naturally you are also my brother, Li Chengyun."

"Since we share the same suffering and are both worried about breaking off the engagement, I will solely bear all your expenses at Zuixianju today!" Li Chengyun said heroically.

Fan Xian was stunned by this sudden change. He looked at those charmingly dressed women surrounding him, and Li Chengyun's words just now echoed in his ears.

Fan Xian felt dazed for a moment.

Seeing Fan Xian's stunned look, Li Chengyun couldn't help but burst into laughter, and turned to the madam and said,
"You must serve my brother Fan Xian to his satisfaction, otherwise, you don't have to open Zuixianju anymore!"

His tone was like thunder, as if he was the owner of Zuixianju.

Faced with such momentum, the madam was filled with awe and did not dare to disobey in the slightest.

She quickly put on a smile and responded flatteringly:
"Your Highness, please rest assured. For the distinguished guest who is stepping into our Zuixianju for the first time, the girls will definitely do their best to ensure that he is drunk tonight and has to hold on to the wall before he can stagger away. The service here will definitely satisfy every distinguished guest!"
