Chapter 49 -49: A Big Misunderstanding
Chu Nanli bid Mei Yi farewell and left the brothel.
“Take a turn up ahead and walk two steps forward, it’s number 43 on Apricot Blossom Street.” An elderly lady selling malt sugar kindly directed Chu Nanli.
Chu Nanli bought a good amount of malt sugar, expressed her thanks, and with a heart full of anticipation, turned the corner to see a large three-story building.
Standing at the entrance, a rare look of confusion appeared on Chu Nanli’s face.
This is number 43 on Apricot Blossom Street, but where is the signboard for Bright Moon Building?
Um… and there are no customers.
Even the doors are closed.
Chu Nanli took two steps back to confirm she had seen the street sign correctly before stepping forward to knock on the door.
“Who’s there?”
A familiar voice came from inside; it was Xinlian’s.
Chu Nanli heaved a sigh of relief; she hadn’t gone to the wrong place.
Full of confusion, Chu Nanli saw Xinlian and Xiangyang.
It had been several days, and Xiangyang’s face now bore a half-mask, covering the scars.
When Xinlian saw Chu Nanli, a flash of astonishment crossed her eyes, along with a bit of suspicion, as she clearly wasn’t sure if it really was Chu Nanli.
“Young master, are you here looking for someone?”
“It’s me,” Chu Nanli replied in her own voice.
Xinlian and Xiangyang both let out a sigh of relief.
They almost thought their master had a twin brother.
A quarter hour later, Chu Nanli sat in an elegant private room, awkwardly sipping tea, finally understanding that she had made a blunder.
It turns out that in this world, the opening of a shop does not only mean starting business. After taking over a shop and conducting an initial inventory of the facilities and cleaning it, inviting the owner to inspect it also qualifies as opening.

Chu Nanli felt she had truly been foolish for three years during her pregnancy. How could she not have thought that in just a few days, three people could have properly opened a brothel?
Luckily, she hadn’t let Xinlian and the others know her thoughts.
“Ahem, Xinlian, what stage are we at now?”
“I have ordered a batch of fabrics and visited the manager of a clothing workshop to discuss a few dozen styles of dresses. These are the drawings, copies of the impressions left at the workshop, for you to review,” Xinlian replied.
Xinlian opened a box, revealing a stack of drawings inside.
Chu Nanli silently admired her thoroughness and began examining the drawings one by one, growing more astounded with each one.
These designs were beautiful and original. Each dress had something unique about it, ensuring that anyone in the Capital City wearing them would stand out.
After some inquiry, Chu Nanli confirmed that it was indeed Xinlian who had a hand in these designs, even leading in the design work.
Should the brothel stabilize, she could consider starting a boutique clothing store, headed by Xinlian for design, and the ladies of the brothel could even become models promoting the clothes of the boutique.
An entirely new concept for the brothel took shape in Chu Nanli’s mind.
Initially, considering the urgency of time, she had only intended to open a regular brothel with some innovative ideas. Now, she felt she could be bolder.
“Xinlian, I have a novel concept that could completely differentiate Bright Moon Building from other brothels,” Chu Nanli stated.
Xinlian was intrigued.
“Please, tell me,” she responded.
Their master’s ideas were always extraordinary.
Like how before, he declared that all the ladies of Bright Moon Building would only sell their artistic skills and not their bodies and that the ladies must be proficient in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, as well as martial arts.
These scenarios would be nearly impossible in any other brothel.
Chu Nanli spent a full half hour explaining to Xinlian and Xiangyang.
They started with surprise, then admiration, and ended up with respect, which was clearly reflected on their faces.
“Alright, if you understand, then implement it. We need to move faster; I need money,” Chu Nanli transparently declared her intention.
Xinlian and Xiangyang both nodded in agreement.
Chu Nanli placed the silver notes she had brought on the table.
“Decorations, publicity, recruiting girls—all of these require money. Take this for expenses. If it’s not enough, let Chu Yi send me a message,” she instructed.
“Yes, we assure you that every coin will be spent wisely,” Xinlian guaranteed.
