Just as he was feeling extremely frustrated, his cronies offered him false comfort while maliciously speculating whether Liu's father intended for Liu Yao to marry into the family and inherit the family business.

This struck a chord with Liu Hao.

He roared, "Impossible! She's just a woman, what right does she have? That's all my family property!"

His casino cronies, only wanting him to spend more money, shook their heads, sighed, and said greedily:

“Brother Liu, it’s not impossible for a rooster to crow at dawn. Doesn’t the eldest princess in the palace wield immense power?”

"It's rumored that your eldest sister is a great beauty, and she could fetch a lot of money if she worked in a brothel."

"It solves her problem, relieves the casino's immediate crisis, and might even allow us to turn the tables and win, which would also make your father proud. Wouldn't that be killing three birds with one stone?"

Liu Hao was tempted by what he heard, but also feared his father's wrath.

His cronies scoffed, "What's there to worry about? Once your elder sister loses her virginity in a brothel, she'll be drowned in spit. What future will she have then?"

"Either you fall into prostitution, or you kill yourself."

"Haven't you always wanted to get rid of the label of being an illegitimate son? Your father, for the sake of his reputation, naturally dared not let your elder sister show her face in public again."

"Even if they die, countless prostitutes die in brothels, who would care?"

"Wrap her in a blanket and throw her into a mass grave. Who knows if she went there on her own or was abducted? There will be no way to prove it."

"Even if they find out, you're an only child. Can your father really send you to jail? With such a terrible reputation, he can only keep the cause of her death a secret."

Thus, Liu Hao, driven by wickedness, reached out his evil claws towards the original body.

Tu Longjian was burning with rage, and for a moment she almost wanted to strangle Liu Hao right there and now, regardless of the consequences.

She kept telling herself to calm down, to calm down.

Although she arrived here unexpectedly, she will not give up on life easily; this is her second life.

Hearing about the original owner's experiences, no one could help but feel angry, and the original owner's hatred thus became a burden on her as well.

Tu Longjian poured the tea forcefully and drank it down in a huff to calm his agitated emotions.

Seeing Tu Long's increasingly genuine anger, Liu Hao felt a sense of satisfaction, but also felt a bit thirsty, so he poured himself a cup.

He took a small sip and found it surprisingly sweet and refreshing. He couldn't help but drink it all in one gulp, not forgetting to mock, "Your filthy place actually has good tea."

Tu Longjian coldly watched him fall to the ground in shock, then lifted him onto the bed, gagged him, and stripped off his outer clothes.

Then, she lit several charcoal fires in the room, closed the doors and windows tightly, and sat down in the next room.

As night fell, Tu Longjian, dressed in his finest attire, walked in with an air of nonchalance amidst the envious gazes of his patrons.

After entering the house, she quickly removed the nearly extinguished charcoal fire and all the candles, splashed Liu Hao with cold water to wake him up, and then secretly climbed over to the next room.

Liu Hao struggled frantically, whimpering, but was too weak to move. Then he experienced the first nightmare of his life.

After the troublemaking patron entered, he felt a bit hot, but then he saw a figure on the bed with a white reflection. After imagining what it was like, he rushed over impatiently.

He quickly became tired and fell asleep due to inhaling too much carbon monoxide.

Then, Tu Longjian returned, opened the window to let in fresh air, and, suppressing his nausea, stopped to admire Liu Hao's expression.

The next day, the patrons of the brothel all saw a disheveled man covering his back and running away as if fleeing.

Then, a man yawning came out of the private room; he was the same guy who caused trouble yesterday.

He said angrily, "How could it have run away? I didn't even see it clearly. I don't know what happened last night, I fell asleep too quickly."

The patrons winked and laughed mockingly.

"It must be because the young master of the Liu family is too... that you were able to sleep so comfortably, hahaha!"

"What?! Young Master?!"

The troublemaking customer rubbed his eyes hard and then realized that the figure that had fled as if running away was actually a man, who was ugly and withered.

He immediately bent over, as if about to vomit: "Pah! What kind of business is this brothel doing! They took a tael of gold from me and then sent a man to take the blame! And a man at that, not only that, but he's so ugly!"

"Where's the madam?! I'll hold you accountable!" With that, he rushed towards the madam's room like a whirlwind, kicked open the door, and kicked the madam.

The madam was kicked and thrown onto the table, breaking her ribs. She then vomited pink foam and died.

The onlookers scattered in a panic, with some shouting, "Someone's dead!"

Chaos erupted instantly in the brothel as someone in the panic knocked over a candle.

The flames reached the gauze curtain, and the fire spread, with flames roaring and thick smoke billowing out.

Tu Longjian stood outside the door, her hand holding the tinderbox trembling. She looked down at her hand; something was wrong, she hadn't even started yet.

Was it an accident, or did someone help her?

So she quickly threw the tinder into the fire to destroy the evidence, but Li Ping, who was covered in flames, saw it all.

Li Ping asked in astonishment, "Your Highness, why..."

Tu Longjian stood in the firelight, a smile on his face, and stepped out of the threshold into the morning light.

The firelight illuminated her stunning profile, adding a touch of allure.

She raised her hand and waved it, in a good mood:

"Bye-bye... I'm not a princess. Thanks for your help, but appearances can be deceiving. I didn't expect you to be so helpful."

Li Ping couldn't believe it, his veins bulging as he roared, "You bitch! You dare lie to me!"

"You insulted me first," Tu Longjian sneered. "Now that you know I'm impersonating a princess, I can't let you live."

She was referring to how the original owner pleaded and explained, but Li Ping ignored her and pressed forward.

If she hadn't cleverly deceived the other party after transmigrating, she probably wouldn't have escaped their clutches either.

The brothel owner also persecuted countless young girls, and both of them deserved to die.

"Go to hell to atone for your sins. If you see me in the underworld, please tell her that I have avenged her!"

Li Ping could no longer hear the sounds behind him; his figure was gradually engulfed by the flames.

Several charred corpses were found in the brothel. The coroner only determined that the madam died from an impact, but by following the clues, he found the troublesome patron who had fled.

The other bodies were all burned. Besides a few slave traders who didn't manage to escape, there was also a client named Li Ping.

Strangely enough, the girls in the brothel had just left the night before to join the army, thus avoiding the fire, but no one knew why.

According to information provided by some of the surviving patrons, the authorities arrested Liu Hao as a prime suspect.

After being severely tortured, Liu Hao, enduring shame and indignation and the contemptuous looks of the crowd, recounted how he had tricked his elder sister into being sold to a brothel and how she had switched him with another woman.

However, the eldest sister Liu Hao mentioned has vanished without a trace.

Faced with the anger of Li Ping's family, the county magistrate directly pushed Liu Hao and the troublemaking patrons forward to take the blame.

The troublemaking patron, relying on his family's power, was only beaten up and sent home to recover. He never dared to be arrogant again and avoided brothels like the plague.

However, Liu Hao's family had no power or influence, and no amount of money could change their fate in the face of power.

The former gambler's cronies scattered like monkeys, and not a single one came to visit.
