Huahua quickly shrank and was held in Jiang Shuyue's palm and stuffed into her chest.
Huahua: [Luckily I took a shower this morning, otherwise I would have suffocated to death.]
Jiang Shuyue tugged at the clothes on her chest and ran to the boss lady with a smile: "I'm ready, boss lady, where's the beauty? I'll help you get it!"
How could the boss lady dare to let her take anything?
I gave her an exquisite little box and said, "It contains our new products. You are such a beautiful girl, and taking this will bring honor to our store."
Jiang Shuyue's face flushed, and Huahua grumbled, "They were just casually praising you, why are you blushing? I've never seen you blush even when the villain praised you."
Jiang Shuyue: [What do you know? The book says that when a man compliments you, he usually has something to ask for. My husband is just after my beauty, but it's different for young ladies. They definitely mean it sincerely.]
Huahua: Yes, yes, yes, you are right!
She told Xiaopingguo to stay here and followed the proprietress to the alley behind Yihongyuan.
The doors here are different from those elsewhere and seem to have a special story.
After Jiang Shuyue entered through the small door, she watched the proprietress talking to the pimp inside.
She walked and observed Yihongyuan curiously.
Jiang Shuyue: [They're all square courtyards, but there's always a sense of desolation here. The air feels dangerous and ambiguous. I don't know if it's just a psychological effect.]
Huahua: [For the most part, the decoration and layout here are actually quite ambiguous, which can create psychological implications.]
[Look at the second-floor corridor in the front left. There are many wind chimes hanging. Each wind chime has a small sachet the size of a fingernail on it. They are filled with medicine. If you smell it too much, it will not only make you feel excited, but may even cause some illusions.]
Jiang Shuyue: [You mean hallucinations? Isn't this the same as opium? Can something like this be sold through normal channels?]
Huahua: [Of course it's not a legitimate channel. Anything that can affect people's minds is definitely not good. If this stuff is added to incense or tea, it's a perfect drug for insanity. It will last all night long.]
[Six months ago, there was a disobedient little girl who was drugged and turned into a psychopath. She was later sold off because she was no longer valuable.]
Jiang Shuyue: [Where was it resold?]
Huahua: [Let me search... She was sold to a lame old man in the countryside. Now... Never mind. We might as well not listen.]
There is such a thing happening right under the emperor's feet.
Jiang Shuyue's mood became depressed.
Huahua's emotions were almost in sync with hers, and she also felt her sadness.
He reached out and patted the two small lumps of flesh on her chest: "Don't be upset. When things get out of hand, I'll have the Shuntian prefect search this place and investigate this street. It will definitely help a lot of people."
Jiang Shuyue nodded and glared at the old man secretly.
Jiang Shuyue: [Look at that mean guy. His eyes are bulging when he looks at the boss lady. He's been working at Yihongyuan for a long time, so he must have seen all kinds of women. And he looks like he just got out of a starvation prison. He's not a good person at first glance.]
Huahua: [You have a very unique perspective. Although the madam of this house is very vicious, she doesn't care about human life, and her tricks are not that many. But this pimp is different.]
He and the madam were childhood sweethearts, but their families were extremely poor when they were young, so they were later sold by their parents. The pimp worked for the madam's patron, and after they met, they began to plot how to make their own way in life.
[First, he coaxed the benefactor into a frenzy, redeeming her for money, and then abusing his power for personal gain to acquire a stake in Yihongyuan.]
After harming the patron's descendants, the two took the money and gradually took control of Yihongyuan. They also found several young and beautiful women to accompany the patron, exhausting him to death. They used the children of the pawns to obtain the family fortune, laundered the money, and bought real estate, land, and buildings to run Yihongyuan.
After they escaped from their benefactor, they couldn't get married, so they stayed in Yihong Courtyard, one becoming a brothel owner and the other a pimp.
[From the beginning, the people who handled the affairs were all madams, but the people who gave advice and took shady actions were all pimps.]
[This guy is ruthless and cruel. He is also the one who disciplines the girls in Yihongyuan.]
[If you want to deal with him, don't do it alone. I'm afraid something might happen to you.]
Jiang Shuyue: [Don't worry, I won't confront him head-on. Besides, he's a jerk, and I don't want to argue with him. What if he gets my clothes dirty? His life is not worth more than a thread on my body!]
The proprietress was frightened at first, but after hearing what Jiang Shuyue said, her mood immediately improved.
That's all that happens in a brothel.
This is how the world is, and the boss lady is used to it.
However, this was the first time she had heard of something so vicious.
The old man smiled and stared at Jiang Shuyue, "This girl is really pretty, how come I haven't seen her before?"
"Hey, I'm here to help out. They're very strict and usually don't let me out. I just slipped out today."
Lady Boss: Don’t I know what you’re up to? If you dare to touch her, you’ll have a lot of fun!
The old man was still staring at Jiang Shuyue.
In his line of work, he was particularly good at judging people's clothing. He saw that the material of her clothes was good, but not too expensive.
He didn't have much jewelry on him and didn't even have a servant.
I think she must be the daughter of a merchant.
It's not that there's no way...
Jiang Shuyue glanced at him sideways: [Look at those little eyes, it seems like he has bad intentions.]
Huahua: [That's right, I'll stuff mud into his eye sockets when I get back!]
Jiang Shuyue: [Make eyeballs into skewers!]
Hua Hua: [Who should eat this skewer? Even dogs won't eat this guy's eyes. I'm afraid they'll be poisoned!]
Jiang Shuyue: [You're right. Let's burn it. Turning it into ashes is the only way to be clean.]
The proprietress couldn't tell who was the good guy and who was the villain.
"This girl is so pretty, she can make a fortune here."
"Get rich? How much money do you get in a month?"
When the old tortoise heard Jiang Shuyue talking, he immediately said with a smile: "It depends on your ability. It can range from dozens to hundreds of taels. If you are lucky enough to meet a generous customer, you may get thousands of taels."
She snorted, revealing a look of disdain as she said, "I'm lucky to only get a few thousand taels... I'm spending more than a few thousand taels every month now. It seems that the girls here don't make a lot of money..."
The turtle man's face suddenly changed, and the proprietress chuckled: "Don't worry, my little friend's family is really rich. Maybe her family will be happy and buy Yihongyuan for her to play with. It's not impossible!"
Turtle's brows were knitted together.
Are all women nowadays so crazy? They lie without thinking, are they still asleep?
