After walking out the mansion gates, Lin Qingyuan headed to the bustling West Market.
The river there was the favorite spot for scholars to gather and also the imperial capital's courtesans' favorite place to visit.
Every day, the courtesans would hang out on exquisite pleasure boats that traversed the river and encounter patrons in the process. Over time, the river took on a romantic charm, earning it the name "Rouge River".
In Lin Qingyuan's opinion, there was no better place than Rouge River to meet her future husband.
However, when Bai He heard that she intended to go there, she turned pale and immediately tried to dissuade her. "Miss, we can't go to an indecent place like that."
"How is it indecent?" Lin Qingyuan disagreed. "Plenty of scholars gather there. It's the ideal place to go."
