The girl who taught Wang Xiuxiu manners was named Qiu Xin.
Wang Xiuxiu was in her room, looking at Qiu Xin, her mind filled with all sorts of thoughts.
This girl belongs to the category of elegant beauties. When Liu Hong was making a fuss, she stood still like a tranquil lotus flower, her brows slightly furrowed, lost in thought.
There always seemed to be a faint sadness in her eyes, as if she was hiding many untold secrets.
Wang Xiuxiu stared at her for a long time, secretly pondering the feasibility of having her deliver a message for her.
After thinking about it for a long time, I still feel that I shouldn't act rashly. I should observe the situation for a while before making a decision.
Besides learning the rules, the madam also gave Wang Xiuxiu a considerable amount of freedom.
Wang Xiuxiu inquired several times, intentionally or unintentionally, and found that several burly men were guarding both the front and back of Chunhua Tower. With such tight defense, it would be almost impossible to escape.
Since escape is not an option, we need to find another way and carefully plan how to get someone to help us send a message.
After searching high and low, Wang Xiuxiu finally focused her attention on Qiu Xin.
Although Qiu Xin always seemed cold and unapproachable, Wang Xiuxiu had seen her stand up for the bullied girls in the building more than once.
Once, a young maid accidentally spilled tea and was severely scolded by the madam. It was Qiu Xin who stepped in to help her out and even cleaned up the mess.
He's cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
So, Wang Xiuxiu used her strengths to get close to the young maid in charge of sweeping and cleaning, and inquired about Qiu Xin.
These pieces of information were initially fragmented, but Wang Xiuxiu was patient and gradually pieced together Qiu Xin's life experiences.
In truth, Qiu Xin was also a pitiful person with an extremely tragic background.
She was originally born into a well-off family.
They have two children: the older sister is Qiu Xin, and the younger sister has been in poor health since childhood and has been taking medicine all year round.
His parents run a small business in the area and live a fairly comfortable life.
My father was an honest and upright businessman, and my mother was gentle and virtuous. Although the family was not very wealthy, they lived happily together.
However, fate is unpredictable, and a sudden change shattered the family's original peace.
That autumn, my parents went out to buy goods, but they were attacked by bandits on the way and both of them died tragically.
What's even more infuriating is that the relatives who used to greet them with smiles now revealed their hideous faces. Using the excuse that the family had no sons, they seized the family's land and houses, plunging the two lonely and helpless sisters into despair and leaving them without any means of support.
Before her parents passed away, they arranged a marriage for Qiu Xin.
With nowhere else to turn, Qiu Xin had no choice but to bring her younger sister to seek refuge with her fiancé.
She had been hoping for some protection, but her seemingly gentle and considerate fiancé, who had been smiling and saying he would take them to meet his parents, sold her and her sister into the brothel the next day.
It is said that the heartless and ungrateful man used the money he obtained from selling the two sisters to travel to the capital to take the imperial examination and pursue his fame and fortune.
From then on, he pursued his lofty ambitions, but his heart turned into mud under the feet of everyone on the ground.
I heard that when Qiu Xin first arrived at Chunhua Brothel, the madam saw that Qiu Xin was beautiful and wanted to force her to serve customers.
But Qiu Xin was strong-willed and stubborn, and no matter how the madam beat and tormented her, she refused to bow her head and submit.
She tried to escape to report to the authorities several times, but each time she was caught before she could even leave the house and suffered even harsher punishments.
Ultimately, the madam exploited her weakness, threatening her with the safety of her sister.
Faced with such a threat, Qiu Xin had no choice but to compromise and give in.
To protect her sister's innocence, Qiu Xin pleaded with the madam to send her sister out to work as a maid.
From then on, she devoted herself to working in the brothel to earn money, hoping to save enough money to redeem herself and her sister as soon as possible.
After hearing this, Wang Xiuxiu couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy and admiration for Qiu Xin.
She wanted to find a way out for herself and also wanted to help Qiu Xin.
---
Where there is a desire, there is a way to overcome it.
As the days passed, the day the madam was to have her go out to entertain customers drew closer, and there was no time to wait any longer.
When Wang Xiuxiu found Qiu Xin, she got straight to the point and stated her needs and conditions.
Qiu Xin looked at her quietly, her eyes revealing a hint of suspicion and wariness.
After a moment of silence, Qiu Xin slowly spoke: "Why should I believe you can rescue my sister?"
“I have money. Besides, the person I asked you to deliver the message to is a high-ranking official from the capital who has just arrived here. I saved his life, so getting him to help redeem a little girl is not a difficult task,” Wang Xiuxiu said firmly.
Qiu Xin listened to Wang Xiuxiu's words, her face still showing hesitation.
Seeing this, Wang Xiuxiu decided to raise her stakes again and continued, "Sending your sister away was indeed a last resort for you, but you may not know that wealthy families often don't care about the dignity and lives of their servants. If there's an opportunity to rescue your sister as soon as possible, why delay?"
These words deeply touched Qiu Xin's heart.
All along, she had been obedient to the madam in the Cuihong Brothel, hoping to save enough money to redeem her sister as soon as possible.
Now, Wang Xiuxiu has made a promise to her that she will not only rescue her sister, but she also promises to be redeemed and leave this hellhole together.
Such temptation was simply irresistible to Qiu Xin.
"Besides, doesn't Miss Qiu Xin hate it? That bastard fiancé is certainly despicable, but this madam of Chunhua Brothel forces women into prostitution and has harmed countless people like us. If she is not eliminated as soon as possible, who knows how many more girls will suffer because of her!"
Qiu Xin lowered her head, a tear glistening in her eyes.
She thought of the sisters who had suffered so much in the building, and she also remembered the beatings and scoldings she had endured.
After a long silence, she finally raised her head, her eyes filled with determination: "Okay, I promise you, but you must keep your promise and rescue my sister."
"Don't worry, I mean what I say. As long as you help me deliver the message, I guarantee that you and your sister will regain your freedom."
Qiu Xin nodded, but her heart was still filled with unease.
She knew that the path she was about to embark on was fraught with unknown dangers, but for her sister, she was willing to risk everything.
