"My beauty, let's go up... upstairs," she mumbled, embracing Lu Tong as they headed upstairs.
Lu Tong tenderly supported Yin Zheng's arm, and the two staggered up to the second floor.
Qi Yutai was holding a banquet in a private room of Yuxian Tower, and now, deep into the night, the feast neared its end. With the heavy downpour outside, Qi Yutai was likely to stay in Yuxian Tower for the night.
The upper floors were the luxurious chambers, designated for affluent guests and the noble young masters to stay overnight. They came at a hefty price. When Du Changqing's father was still alive and the Du Family had not yet fallen into decline, Young Master Du wouldn't dare spend the night here, fearing he'd be swindled out of a large sum. Yin Zheng and Lu Tong had emptied all the consultation fees previously given by Princess Consort Wen for this outing.
