Luo Xi stroked his chin, deciding to go down and find out: "Liu Chunhua, right?"
"What...what are you trying to do?"
Although she already had a general idea from her words and actions, Luo Xi still asked.
Liu Chunhua was startled and fell to the ground.
Upon seeing who it was, he exclaimed with delight, "Oh, my benefactor! So you were inside! That's wonderful!"
She got up, quickly took out a handkerchief from the embroidery mat, untied it in a few moments, and handed it to Luo Xi.
"My benefactor, here, this might be useful to you."
She was worried that others would discover the item and it wouldn't reach her benefactor, but now everything is fine.
Luo looked at the crumpled handkerchief handed to her, but did not take it.
"How did you recognize me in this state? And what's the deal between you and Yang Qing?"
Liu Chunhua withdrew her hand and smiled, a rare occurrence for her: "My benefactor, don't you know you have a mole behind your ear?"
"At first I only thought it looked somewhat like you, but when I saw the mole behind your ear, I knew it was you, my benefactor."
Luo Xi was taken aback; she really hadn't expected it to be because of this: "You're quite observant."
Liu Chunhua smiled shyly, then, as if remembering something, she asked anxiously, "My benefactor, did you come here to participate in the selection of the Holy Maiden?"
Although her benefactor was incredibly powerful, she couldn't help but remind him.
"What? Is there a problem here?" Rose asked.
“Of course there’s a problem.” Liu Chunhua scoffed, “They say the selection of the Holy Maiden is to help these women, to let them enjoy wealth and glory, and to become immortals and saints, but in reality…”
"They selected these beautiful women to give to high-ranking officials and bandits in exchange for their profits. I heard..." Liu Chunhua lowered her voice.
"They have a very large group, all of whom consider themselves gods, in order to win over people from all walks of life and prepare to start a rebellion."
Luo Xi's pupils contracted: "Are you sure?"
Throughout history, peasant uprisings that used supernatural or ghostly tales as a pretext, even if ultimately unsuccessful, would cause chaos for a long time.
If that's the case, she should consider building her own power base.
In chaotic times, no matter how strong a person is, it is difficult to gain a foothold.
Liu Chunhua nodded emphatically: "Really, so my benefactor, you should leave quickly. Don't be some kind of saintess or goddess anymore. Those are just playthings for trading, and they never end well."
“Thank you for telling me all this,” Losi said. “However, I have my own plans.”
Liu Chunhua wanted to persuade her again, but remembering her unpredictable abilities, she simply said, "Then benefactor, please be careful."
"Here, take this. It might come in handy." She handed over the handkerchief.
This time, Luo Xi did not refuse. When she took it, she found that it was a map, and it was a map embroidered stitch by stitch with embroidery thread, with not a single word missing.
After recent intensive study, she has now learned to recognize almost all the traditional Chinese characters.
"You can read?" Luo asked curiously, looking at the neatly embroidered characters on the paper.
Liu Chunhua shook her head: "I saw this at the God's place and embroidered it when I got back. I only know it's a map, but I can't understand it."
"Luckily, I've loved embroidery since I was a child. I can remember any flower pattern at a glance, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to embroider it."
Loxi: "..."
Are maps and patterns the same thing?
She took it and examined it closely. Good heavens, although the map was simple, it clearly marked all the main buildings of Shenxianju, including the locations of granaries, armories, and even troop deployments.
It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to get it effortlessly!
"Thank you, this really will be useful to me." Luo Xi said, stuffing it into her sleeve, which was actually her spatial storage: "If there's anything you need my help with, just let me know, and I'll definitely help you."
Although Liu Chunhua didn't mention how she obtained the map, Luo Xi understood that the price she paid must have been considerable.
She doesn't like owing favors to others.
If Liu Chunhua wants to kill the scumbag Yang Qing, take revenge on the mistress, or escape from here, Luo Xi will help her.
Liu Chunhua, on the other side, shook her head: "No, my benefactor, I'm fine, I can manage."
She gave Rosie a slight smile.
Luo Xi glanced at the food box she had placed on the table and bluntly stated, "What you said is fine, but it means you personally poisoned Yang Qing and then delivered it yourself."
What's the difference between this and sending someone to their death?
She was speechless: "Do you even know that doing this could cost you your life?"
“I know.” Liu Chunhua said calmly, “I am an unclean person by nature, and I have no family left. I have no attachments anymore.”
"Then life or death is no longer important."
As she spoke, she pulled out another packet of arsenic from her bosom: "Besides, I never intended to live, my benefactor. For us ordinary people, living in such chaotic and famine-stricken times is just too tiring, too tiring!"
Liu Chunhua held the arsenic in her hand, gazing at the boundless night outside the window. A slight smile played on her lips, a smile that seemed to express both helplessness and relief…
Seeing her like this, Luo Xi was so angry that her liver hurt, and she cursed, "An unclean person? Unclean my ass!"
"Who says that being slept with by several men makes you unclean? You did it willingly."
"Of course not," Liu Chunhua said hurriedly.
“That settles it,” Luo Xi said. “If we’re talking about uncleanliness, it’s those men. They’ve been with countless women, and they all chose those women themselves.”
Liu Chunhua's eyes widened: "But they are men. Isn't it normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines?"
Luo hoped she would act as if it were nothing out of the ordinary and didn't want to discuss the issue with her.
After all, it's hard to explain a custom that's been around for thousands of years.
