Chapter 318 Just henpecked
During the pleasant conversation, Lin Chujiu and Ou Yu agreed on the next step of the business and determined the details of the division of accounts.

Finally, the two shook hands and made peace, ready to do something big in the business world.

After leaving Chunfeng Tower, Lin Chujiu walked home happily.

On the way home, Lin Chujiu passed by a very busy street with a row of shops filled with people.

It's just that these shops are different. The people soliciting business at the door are all beautiful boys.

Lin Chujiu felt strange, so he looked around at the entrance of the alley, and instantly felt a little nauseous.

It turns out that these shops are not engaged in any other business, but in the business of letting men sell their sexual appearance. Such immoral things have actually appeared in the capital.

"This is really unreasonable."

Although Lin Chujiu couldn't stand it, she was just the proprietress of a restaurant after all, and she was just a young doctor. This street was so prosperous, which meant that people from the government probably didn't care.

Lin Chujiu felt strange. This was the capital city, at the feet of the emperor. Why would someone engage in such illegal business?
Thinking of this, she planned to find Yuan Jing first to discuss the matter.

The reason why Lin Chujiu went to these Nanfeng Pavilions was definitely not for his own selfish desires, but to collect evidence.

After returning home, she hurriedly found Yuan Jing who was reading in the study.

Yuan Jing frowned, "Which street?"

Lin Chujiu told Yuan Jing her observations, describing the shops where men sell their looks, and her concerns about this matter.

He thought for a moment and then decided: "I will send someone to check and see if the government has investigated and punished these shops. If the government does not take action, then we cannot sit idly by and ignore it. We can join other merchants in writing a letter to the court. , demanding severe punishment for these lawbreakers.”

Yuan Jing looked at her suspiciously, as if he didn't believe it for a moment, "Seriously?"

She nodded gently, "Okay, I believe you will handle this matter."

"But," Lin Chujiu hesitated again, "If you go now, you will only alert the enemy. What's more, you are no longer a member of the royal family. If you go, it may be bad for you. I don't think we can act rashly."

"Let's do this." Lin Chujiu suddenly had an idea, "I'll pretend to be a customer and go in first to explore and find out the situation. It's best to get some evidence. What do you think?"

After hearing Yuan Jing's words, Lin Chujiu felt a little more at ease. She knew that her husband was a responsible man and would not sit idly by.

"Husband, have you heard of those shops on that street?" Lin Chujiu asked worriedly.

He decided to take immediate action and not allow this immoral thing to continue to spread.

Yuan Jing felt a hint of indignation after hearing this, "These unscrupulous people are actually causing trouble in the capital!"

Seeing her trust, Yuan Jing became more determined.

Lin Chujiu felt indignant and puzzled about this illegal business, and decided to find Yuan Jing to discuss the matter first.

"So Jiu'er, what do you think should be done?" Yuan Jing felt that his wife was extremely intelligent, so he always asked Lin Chujiu's opinion on everything.

"Of course I am serious. I am a gentleman. How can I pretend to be a public servant for personal gain?"

Lin Chujiu said seriously, "It just so happened that I recently met a lady in a teahouse and she made friends with me. I can ask her about the situation."

Although Yuan Jing feels that this move is too dangerous, there is currently no other better way. What's more, Lin Chujiu also has property under her name, and can be considered a wealthy woman in the capital.

It is reasonable for such a wealthy lady to visit places like Nanfeng Pavilion and will not arouse suspicion.

Therefore, it would be best if Lin Chujiu went to this street and their shops to collect evidence.

"Nanfeng Pavilion" is not a specific place, but a collective name for a series of places. Such places mainly provide services to rich ladies, using some beautiful men to attract the attention of these women and lure them deep into the quagmire.

The matter has come to this, the arrow is on the string and must be fired.

With this in mind, before going out the next day, Lin Chujiu deliberately dressed up in a more noble manner, looking like a rich lady.

Today, she made an appointment with Mrs. Cai for tea as usual.

Mrs. Cai also runs a teahouse in Beijing and has a good relationship with Ou Yu. Otherwise, Ou Yu is a prostitute and knows many beautiful women in Beijing.

Lin Chujiu didn't choose him, which was probably the right decision, but fortunately, he met Mrs. Cai through Ou Yu.

"Why is Miss Lin free to drink tea today?"

In Mrs. Cai's eyes, people like Lin Chujiu are completely "gentlemen". They usually focus on the business of the store and have no time to enjoy the flowers, the moon, drink tea and compose poems.

Lin Chujiu made an excuse at random, "I fell ill a few days ago. After a serious illness, this person has figured out that people have to live for themselves, otherwise what is the point of living?"

At this point, she sighed seriously.

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Cai smiled. "By the way, I have nothing to do today, so I'll take you to an interesting place."

"Where?" Lin Chujiu deliberately opened his eyes, pretending to be curious, "But is it really interesting?"

"It's really interesting." Mrs. Cai said mysteriously, "As far as I know, you have been married not long ago, right? Are the men in the family tired of it?"

In the eyes of others, Yuan Jing is Lin Chujiu's husband-in-law, but he is only Lin Chujiu's husband-in-law.

No one knows Yuan Jing's former identity. They only know that after he followed Lin Chujiu, he often worked in Lin Chujiu's shop.

In the eyes of others, Lin Chujiu and Yuan Jing were a couple with the female leading the role and the male leading the role. Everyone thought Yuan Jing was a coward.

This is why Mrs. Cai dared to take Lin Chujiu out to "have fun" without caring about Yuan Jing at all.

"Yeah." Lin Chujiu followed her words and said, "Indeed, honest men are not interesting. They are really boring. Recently, I always look at young men on the street intentionally or unintentionally, and I am really a little greedy."

"Haha." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cai laughed, "Miss Lin looks like a gentleman, but she is also a dirty person underneath. Come on, I will take you to see the world today."

With that said, Mrs. Cai packed up, left the teahouse with Lin Chujiu, and called a carriage.

The carriage went round and round, and finally came to the street that Lin Chujiu had seen the day before yesterday. The street was still lively, with young gentlemen soliciting customers at the door.

After getting off the carriage, Mrs. Cai held Lin Chujiu's hand and walked inside, "Look, how are you doing?"

The voice of someone soliciting business came from the street. "Madams, you are here to have fun. Walk inside and outside."
