Yu Wan asked the shopkeeper about the time and rules of the courtesan.
The shopkeeper said, "Miss Dong receives guests on the first and fifteenth of every month. Only one young master is lucky enough to be her guest."
Yu Wan touched her chin. "Today isn't the first or fifteenth day of the month. What should we do?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Young Master, you can wait."
Yu Wan shook her head. "I can't wait."
The longer they delayed, the more risk Yan Jiuchao had of the poison acting up. They also had an additional risk of their identities being exposed.
"This…" The shopkeeper paused and hesitated.
Yu Wan gave him a gold ingot.
The shopkeeper refused. "Young Master, you've rewarded me enough. It would be against my conscience if I take more. I hesitated just now because that method is too difficult."
"What method?" Yu Wan asked.
