Chapter 580 She was sold to the brothel!

If she uses it on Shen Mingxuan a few more times, she can use this medicine to control Shen Mingxuan in the future!

Chu Yanluo was initially quite nervous when she saw Shen Wantang arrive, fearing that Shen Wantang would recognize the main ingredient of the Black Fragrance Ointment. However, Shen Wantang seemed not to recognize it, or perhaps she had already recognized it, which is why she reminded Shen Mingxuan that the medicine was poisonous.

Unfortunately, Shen Mingxuan didn't believe Shen Wantang at all.

The two sisters had indeed harbored resentment for a long time and had a deep-seated conflict.

She went to the pharmacy and bought a lot of medicinal herbs, spending only three taels of silver in total. This was because Chu Yanluo deliberately bought a lot of random medicines to confuse people.

After buying the medicinal herbs, she wasn't in a hurry to return to the Shen family home, but instead walked towards the main street.

Carrying large and small bags of medicinal herbs, Hua Yi couldn't help but ask her, "Miss Chu, where are you going? Aren't you going back to the Shen family? Miss Shen is in so much pain, she must be getting impatient waiting, right?"

"I want her to suffer a little longer, otherwise how will she know how important I am to her?"

Chu Yanluo despised Shen Mingxuan and Huayi, and her tone was icy: "Now, I'll take you to find Liu Nanshi!"

"What are you going to do with Miss Liu?"

Chu Yanluo coldly chuckled as she weighed the money pouch in her hand: "Doesn't Xiao Qingyuan want to marry her? Naturally, I'll lend him a hand."

Revenge requires money, but unfortunately she was penniless; otherwise, she wouldn't have had to become Shen Mingxuan's maid.

Now that she has the money, why worry about not having anyone to do her work?

Hua Yi gave Chu Yanluo a deep look; she simply couldn't believe Chu Yanluo would be so magnanimous.

Xiao Qingyuan originally loved her, and he was determined to marry her no matter what. But now he wants to marry Liu Nanshi. How could Chu Yanluo be willing to accept this? She must have some other scheme behind going to Liu Nanshi!

Three days later.

As soon as Shen Wantang came out of Shen Guannian's study, Qin Xin quickly came to greet him.

"Miss, something terrible has happened outside!"

Shen Wantang casually asked, while toying with a jade Pixiu she had gotten from Shen Guannian, "What important matter?"

At this time in my past life, nothing major seemed to have happened in the capital!

Qin Xin lowered her voice: "Miss Liu from the Grand Secretary's mansion has disappeared!"

Shen Wantang paused in her tracks: "What? Liu Nanshi has disappeared?"

"Yes, she went missing the day before yesterday, but the Liu family had been trying to suppress the news. However, someone saw Miss Liu at the Wan Hua Lou today, so the matter can no longer be suppressed."

Shen Wantang was stunned: "Wan Hua Lou? How come Liu Nanshi is at Wan Hua Lou?"

"I heard she was kidnapped by someone who mistook her for an ordinary girl and sold her to the brothel, Wan Hua Lou."

"How is this possible? Every time Liu Nanshi goes out, she is accompanied by several maids and servants. Besides, with her expensive clothes and jewelry, she doesn't seem like a girl from an ordinary family. Moreover, even if the madam of Wan Hua Lou doesn't recognize her, wouldn't she tell her own identity? How could such a thing happen?"

"Wan Hua Lou also knew that it had bought the wrong person this time, and had already spread the word that when Miss Liu was sold into the brothel, she was under the influence of aphrodisiac and was delirious. She only knew... only knew how to seek pleasure. Wan Hua Lou had no choice but to find a man to detoxify her."

Shen Wantang frowned deeply as she listened: "No, that's not right."

"Miss, do you feel something is wrong?"

"Nothing is right."

As Shen Wantang spoke, she looked up at Shen Mingxuan's courtyard.

Liu Nanshi was clearly framed. Who would hate her so much that they would ruin her in such a vicious way?

Aside from Chu Yanluo, Shen Wantang couldn't think of anyone else who would do such a thing.

Having been reborn twice, Chu Yanluo's accumulated resentment is probably already overwhelming.

Shen Wantang felt a chill run down her spine. She had underestimated Chu Yanluo's ruthlessness and viciousness. It seemed she would have to be more vigilant against her in the future.

"Does Xiao Qingyuan know that Liu Nanshi is in trouble?"

"I know, he's already gone to the brothel and caused a scene."

Qin Xin shook her head gently as she spoke: "If it weren't for the young master causing trouble, the fact that Miss Liu lost her virginity might have been kept secret. Originally, everyone only knew that Miss Liu had disappeared, and they didn't know much else. It was because the young master caused trouble at the Wan Hua Lou that the news spread."

Shen Wantang was at a loss for words. She wondered if Liu Nanshi would regret seducing Xiao Qingyuan. In her previous life, she lost her virginity in the palace because Xiao Qingyuan couldn't control himself. In this life, she lost her virginity again in the Wan Hua Lou and had a relationship with Xiao Qingyuan again. In fact, this time her fate was even worse than last time.

Shen Wantang waved to Qin Xin: "I don't have anything for you to do here. Go out and gather information. Any information you find interesting is welcome. Come back and tell me."

As she spoke, she took out ten taels of silver from her sleeve and handed it to Qin Xin: "Spend money wherever you need to. If you don't have enough silver, just ask me for more."

Going out to gather information is not something that can be done with just words; it inevitably involves spending money. Although Shen Wantang is not well-off now, she is still willing to spend money on Qin Xin.

Qin Xin knew about her current net worth because Du Juan was naive and didn't hide anything from the newcomers when Shen Wantang put her in charge of the money. So they all knew exactly how much money Shen Wantang had.

Shen Wantang didn't touch any of the money sent by the Duke's Mansion; she used her own money instead.

Holding the ten taels of silver, Qin Xin felt that it was not just a heavy sum of money, but also a heavy trust.

She always had a strange feeling that Shen Wantang trusted her exceptionally. No matter what she said, Shen Wantang never doubted her. No matter where she went or how long she stayed, Shen Wantang never asked too many questions, as if he knew she wouldn't shirk her duties or lie to her.

Qin Xin carefully put away the silver and said earnestly, "Don't worry, Miss, I won't let you down. This silver is enough. You can keep the rest to buy yourself some new clothes and shoes."

It wasn't that she was being nosy, but the truth was that this second young lady had very few clothes in her wardrobe that she could actually wear out. Even the new shoes she was wearing were taken from Shen Mingxuan; her own shoes were too small and had faded badly.

The shoes worn by those maids from the Prince's mansion were all better than those worn by Shen Wantang.

Shen Wantang knew that Qin Xin was worried about her, so she couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, our predicament is only temporary, it will get better soon, and I will make sure we don't lack money in the future."

Qin Xin was indeed not worried, and she smiled and said, "I know. I heard from Du Juan that Miss has a good business sense and is good at finding business opportunities. Even if you don't marry into a high-ranking family, you will not live a poor life!"

These words struck a chord with Shen Wantang. She liked making money and taking good care of those who followed her. No matter where she married, she could live a wealthy life through her own abilities.
