The top courtesan lowered her head, and no one noticed the mocking look in her eyes. They weren't smart enough to find someone through her!
Tang Feiyang didn't pay attention to the top courtesan, instructing the scholars to check the woman's room for any secret mechanisms.
When the scholars searched through the woman's cabinet and saw it full of her clothing, they were too embarrassed to look.
Moreover, both the top and underneath of the bed were filled with the woman's personal items. Although they wanted to find out if anyone was hidden, the maxim from their studies about being a gentleman led them to only perform a cursory inspection.
The top courtesan saw them turning things over incessantly, then her heart immediately tensed up when she heard that leading man talk about being direct and such.
This was their organization's secret stronghold, how could it not have any hidden mechanisms?
