How could Shangguan Lingyun go against Ye Xiaoxiao's wishes? He left Wang Xiao with a cold back and then left with Ye Xiaoxiao.

"Xiao Wang, stop complaining and let's go. I'll take you to visit a brothel."

Wang Xiao's mouth twitched, Ye Xiaoxiao laughed out loud, and Shangguan Lingyun pinched her secretly.

"Hey, brother, you haven't been to a brothel yet, have you?"

"I've read in a storybook that brothels and taverns are the busiest places. As long as you have money, you can get any news."

"Moreover, brothels are favorite places for local high-ranking officials and wealthy gentry."

"If you want to check their background, this brothel is the place you must go."

Shangguan Lingyun expressed his doubts. Although he also owned several brothels, he had never been there.

Moreover, he never disdains to use women to win over others.

Ye Xiaoxiao had naturally never been there, but even if she hadn't eaten pork, she had seen a pig run.

In her previous life, she had been curious about such places when she saw them on her mobile phone and TV. Unfortunately, nowadays, there were only a few bars and clubs, and she couldn't get in without an introduction.

Now that she finally has such an opportunity, she naturally doesn't want to miss it.

Wang Xiao was also very curious, but when he saw his master's gloomy face, he tactfully kept silent.

Ye Xiaoxiao didn't care about that and pulled Shangguan Lingyun towards the brothel.

However, before everyone reached the brothel, their attention was attracted by a group of people.

"Xiao Wang, go see what's going on up ahead?"

Wang Xiao had no choice but to squeeze into the crowd, but he came back soon.

"Boss, Second Young Master, there's a woman selling herself to bury her father."

Ye Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, and when she thought of her first encounter with Tianxuan, she suddenly became interested.

But before she could get close, the system made a mechanical sound.

"Why, System, do you want this woman?"

The system actually sighed in a humane way.

"Host, this woman's motives are not pure. She is not someone who can be used for personal gain like Tianxuan."

Ye Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow. "Oh my! The sun is rising from the west today! The system actually came to remind this host?"

The system ignored her and went offline directly. Ye Xiaoxiao felt bored and continued to squeeze into the crowd.

Shangguan Lingyun was afraid that she would get hurt, so he followed her closely, and Tianxuan and Wang Xiao followed closely behind.

At this moment, a middle-aged man standing in the front row quietly advised them.

"What are you guys pushing for? Do you want to buy this girl too?"

"I'm telling you, this woman is not ordinary. You must not get into trouble with her."

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the man who was speaking curiously, then asked with a faint smile.

"Hey old man, it seems you know a lot. Since you have nothing to do anyway, why not tell us about it?"

The man who just spoke was in his thirties. He looked quite honest and didn't seem to have any ulterior motives.

Seeing Ye Xiaoxiao asking, the middle-aged man spoke frankly.

"You guys are from out of town, right? Everyone here knows you."

"This girl's name is Xiao Cui. She's the daughter of Xu Lao Si from Xu Family Village."

"The one lying on the ground is his father, Xu Laosi."

"This Xiao Cui is also pitiful. This Xu Lao Si is a notorious gambler in Xujiazhuang."

"When Xiao Cui was three years old, her mother was sold by Xu Lao Si to pay off gambling debts."

"I heard that the buyer treated her badly, and Xiao Cui's mother couldn't stand it anymore, so she jumped into the well."

"Old Fourth Xu had been quiet for a few years, but now that Xiao Cui has grown up, he's become unrepentant again."

"A few days ago, he lost his gambling debts and sold his daughter to Mr. Xu from Xujia Village as a concubine."

"But Xiao Cui was a hot-tempered girl. She refused to go to Mr. Xu's place no matter what, so she ran away."

"But the monk could escape but the temple could not. Because he had no money and nothing to pay off the debt, within a few days, her father was beaten to a pulp by the creditors who came to his door."

"Then, for some unknown reason, this Xu Lao Si suddenly died."

"Some say he starved to death, while others say he died from a relapse of old injuries from being beaten."

"After Xu Lao Si died, Mr. Xu posted notices everywhere to arrest Xiao Cui."

"After hearing the news, Xiao Cui not only didn't run away, but actually came back quietly to collect her father's body."

"But Xiao Cui didn't know that those people had been waiting for her at her door. As soon as she showed up, she was forced to pay back the money."

"If you can't pay the money, you'll have to be Old Master Xu's eighteenth concubine."

"Xiao Cui had no other choice but to sell herself to bury her father and pay off her gambling debts at the same time."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he wiped away his non-existent tears with a slight sigh.

"This Xiao Cui is so difficult and filial. If she didn't owe so much money, I would have wanted to buy her back."

Ye Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Brother, I think you are afraid that Mr. Xu will cause trouble for you."

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly and then continued.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, but Xiao Cui is really pretty."

After listening to the man's story full of loopholes, Ye Xiaoxiao knew without even needing to use mind reading to know that everything he said was false.

But since the system has popped up to remind her, there must be something she doesn't know.

Ye Xiaoxiao no longer paid attention to the middle-aged man and her eyes fell on Xiao Cui who was kneeling on the ground.

Xiao Cui looked only about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was very pretty, but a little thin and looked malnourished.

However, if you look closely, you will find that Xiao Cui has fair and smooth skin, and does not look like a girl from a poor family at all.
