Qi Su didn't wait until tomorrow; she woke up leisurely in the middle of the night.
After experiencing a range of emotions including shock, fear, self-doubt, and tears, Qi Su walked towards the door.
A voice came from inside the room.
It's Sister Ru, the one with the thick layer of face cream.
"Where are you going? There are guards outside, you can't run away. Don't act recklessly and drag us into this."
Qi Su was timid.
"I...I need to use the chamber pot."
"Go out and turn left."
Qi Su went out the door and entered the clean room.
I was washing my hands when a shadow fell down from the roof beam.
It's Yan Xiaosi.
"The master said not to let you get involved in this mess."
Qi Su shook the water droplets off her hands.
He laughed, "But muddy waters are more fun than your master."
Yan Xiaosi remained silent. His master certainly didn't want to hear that.
Qi Su: "Go back and tell him that I'll be back a little later, it won't take too long."
Yan Xiaosi received her message.
They disappeared into the dark roof beams.
…
The lights in the guesthouse rooms were still on.
The young husband, who had lost his wife, sat alone before the lamp.
His subordinates finished replying, but he remained silent.
Coachman Yan Xiaoer: "Young master, should we report this to the authorities?"
Logically speaking, if someone were to steal their wife while they were sleeping, anyone would be heartbroken, would make a big fuss, and would try to get their wife back.
His Highness the Prince of Qishan: "No need."
His voice was cold, but his eyes were even colder.
She wasn't stolen; she happily went with someone else on her own.
The coachman, Yan Xiaoer, continued, "Young master, will you be traveling as usual tomorrow?"
They had their own plans and couldn't afford to play along with the capricious young lady.
His Highness the Prince of Qishan lowered his eyelashes.
His fingers tapped the table unconsciously.
"I'm not leaving."
This time, the voice was even colder than saying there was no need to report to the authorities.
.
When Granny Cai came to check on the patients in the morning, she saw seven beauties standing in a row under the window.
The air is filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms, the whiteness of pear blossoms, and the cherry blossoms blooming in the breeze.
Each has its own unique charm.
Especially the new young lady.
She looked timid, with red eyes.
She was quite well-behaved. I didn't hear her making a fuss at night.
She was indeed a beauty. Her timid demeanor only made her more attractive to men.
Grandma Cai asked a couple of casual questions and then told everyone to disperse.
She kept Qi Su behind to talk.
Grandma Cai sat by the window, wiping the foam off the teacup with the lid.
Without even glancing at Qi Su, he went straight to the question:
Which bed did you sleep in last night?
Qi Su pointed it out to her.
Grandma Cai lifted her eyelids slightly.
"Oh, that one. Someone was staying there a couple of days ago. Do you know where that person went?"
Qi Su shook her head.
Grandma Cai: "She was stubborn and wanted to go back to her lover. I tried to coax her several times, but I couldn't. In the end, she ran away and was caught. She was chopped into river mud and piled at the bottom of the pond. Next spring, the lotus flowers in the garden will bloom beautifully."
Qi Su: Waaah, I'm so scared.
Granny Cai: "Now that you're here, don't even think about escaping. If you get caught and beaten up, you'll lose your life and your future. That little hussy who stayed in your bed before is a cautionary tale."
Qi Su defended himself.
“But I’m different from them. I’m married and have a family. Please let me go back.”
Grandma Cai gave a cold laugh.
"Go back? There's no other way but to go back dead."
"No matter what your past identity or experience was, once you enter this garden, it's all gone. Stop thinking about the past. From now on, work hard and earn a future for yourself."
Qi Su: "My husband will definitely report this to the authorities."
"Report to the authorities? Report to what authorities? What kind of authorities? Let me tell you, I am an official."
The young woman's eyes widened in shock, her face turning pale.
Granny Cai was very satisfied.
“Now that you’re in, there’s no way you’ll ever get out. I’m going to make it clear to you so you can give up.”
“Our master is the god of this Lingye City.”
"Don't even mention Lingye City, it won't do you any good even if you complain to the capital. To be honest, you beauties are meant to be sent to the mansions of nobles in the capital."
"This is an incredible stroke of luck. When you become incredibly wealthy in the future, you'll have to thank your old woman for her earnest advice today."
Qi Su stopped talking.
Granny Cai sneered.
"He's definitely still thinking about your husband. You'd better pray that he's a heartless person and forgets you as soon as possible. Otherwise, if things get complicated, it's hard to say whether he'll even survive."
Qi Su burst into tears.
"Don't kill him, I'm willing. I'll do anything you ask, just don't touch him, he's a good person."
Granny Cai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Having a weakness is good.
Whether it's family or lovers, as long as there are people around, things are easier to talk to.
The worst kind of person is the one with no weaknesses, the toughest to handle.
Granny Cai said, “In that case, you should stay in the garden and study with the other girls. If you do well, you might be able to send some money to your husband. If you deliberately do poorly—humph, the pond is still short of mud fertilizer. If I let you see him before I chop him up, that would be a sign of my kindness.”
Qi Su obediently lowered her head.
"I understand, I will study hard."
.
After undergoing ideological instruction and having her worldview reshaped, Qi Su was able to experience today's beauty cultivation course with her newly acquainted roommates.
Given her status as someone who only entered the manor yesterday, she shouldn't have been qualified to attend the class today.
First, one must cleanse their body and clear their mind. Only after several rounds of tests and scoring by several anonymous old women can one enter the final competition.
But Grandma Cai arranged a back door for her, getting her in one step.
The reason is that the girl that Granny Cai originally chose was stubborn and disobedient, and she died, so there weren't enough girls to go.
Qi Su's understanding was that the people in the room came from different social networks.
There was infighting among them due to issues with commission rates.
So she got a lucky break.
What a blessing! ≧???≦
Upon her entry into the lecture hall, the young women inside all turned to look at her, expressing their "welcome."
Qi Su was no longer in the mood to socialize with others.
She needs to study hard and save her husband's life.
…
Morning homework: Rong, the Rong in virtue, appearance, merit and speech.
Specifically, it includes eye contact and body posture.
To be more specific, how the eyes are tender and affectionate, how they seem to want to say something but hold back, how they are lingering and entangled.
Her figure was so delicate and frail, like a willow swaying in the breeze.
Qi Su was greatly shocked to hear this.
My dear mother, her acting skills are far superior to those of some minor celebrities in the entertainment industry; she is truly admirable.
Afternoon lesson: Merit, the merit of virtue, appearance, merit and speech.
This content, if discussed in detail, is likely to be censored. In short, it's a series of tricks that make men unable to resist.
…
In order to deeply understand the evil of this "pyramid scheme den", Qi Su obediently attended a day of classes.
The spirit has been polluted like never before.
Finally, the day's classes are over.
Qi Su learned it, but also failed at it.
She ran to the bathroom to wash her hands, frantically calling out for Yan Xiaosi.
