The coachman drove the carriage to the front of the ready-made clothing store, where Lian Yan and Miao Zhu placed the packed garments into the carriage and then helped their respective masters aboard.
Once inside the carriage, Leng Yu Yan and Ye Jiu removed their veiled hats in succession and took their seats.
They had visited men's clothing stores today. Such shops attracted not only women but also many men choosing garments, thus wearing veiled hats was more convenient for them.
Ye Jiu asked, "Yan'er, what kind of deception did you sense just now?"
Leng Yu Yan slowly shook her head: "I can't quite say, but I felt that the begging girl seemed suspicious."
It was the first time she had smelled the cloying scent coming from a flower painting boat. The figure at the window might well have been from the pleasure boat, using such tricks to swindle young women's sympathy, and then trafficking them to the pleasure houses.
If this was indeed the case, it was a sin worthy of death!
