When the male mother spoke, her face looked presentable, but her eyes were lifeless.
I wonder if he was thinking about the past.
Yan Xia's money was all stored in her spatial storage. Three thousand taels was no small sum; she couldn't possibly conjure it out of thin air.
She hid in an alley and took out three thousand taels of silver from her spatial storage, some in silver notes and some in loose silver.
It filled an entire sack.
Yan Xia carried the sack back to Wan Hua Lou from the alley.
I've spent too much money these past few days.
There are only 3,500 taels left in the space.
Remove these three thousand taels.
There were only five hundred taels left. Yan Xia felt a pang of heartache, but there was nothing she could do. Money could be earned again, but she couldn't bear to watch a young man stoop to prostituting himself for male clients, especially since she had a close relationship with him.
It took less than ten minutes in total.
Yan Xia came back.
"Bang--"
The sack of marijuana hit the ground with a startling sound.
The male mother was stunned.
"Here's the money, take it and count it. Hand over the indenture and release them!"
Yan Xia looked domineering, as if three thousand taels were not worth mentioning, and casually threw it on the ground.
"They really came back..."
The male mother's voice was very soft, so soft that only he could hear it.
Feng Shi was also stunned.
At this moment, Yan Xia was like a goddess who saved him from dire straits.
After counting the silver, the male madam told the thugs to release Feng Shi, then went to a room, took out the indenture, and handed it to Yan Xia.
Just as Yan Xia was holding Feng Shi's hand, preparing to leave.
The male mother said her last words to Feng Shi.
"If she doesn't want you anymore, remember to come back. Although this place is not good, it can still give you a place to stay. Remember what I said, it will stand until I die."
"Bang--"
The door closed.
Yan Xia and Feng Shi disappeared from Wan Hua Lou.
The male mother wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled charmingly again.
"Master, my lord."
Once outside the gate, Feng Shi didn't know how to address her. Since her indenture meant he was still considered a lowly person, he decided to call her "Master."
"Don't call me that. I forgot to tell you to go back to your room and pack your things. Do you have anything valuable? Do you want to go back and get it?"
He shook his head at the opportune moment.
"No, I only saved a thousand taels, which my mother took. The rest of my clothes are not presentable and should not be taken."
Yan Xia looked at Feng Shi. He had taken off the red gauze robe he wore last night and put on a plain silk robe. He had lost his seductive charm and looked like a young master from a wealthy family under the sunlight.
Unfortunately, his clothes were covered in blood.
He looked rather disheveled, only managing to pull it off thanks to his good looks.
"Let's go to the clinic first, then I'll buy you a change of clothes."
He obediently followed her whenever the time was right.
The two first saw a doctor and learned that Feng Shi's injuries were all superficial. Yan Xia bought a box of ointment and left.
Then we went to the clothing store and bought him three outfits, from head to toe.
I also bought new shoes.
Finally, back at the house, Yan Xia settled him in a room next to hers.
"You can stay here for now. However, I am not from Jiangnan County, and I will be returning to Jiashu County tomorrow."
Feng Shi looked somewhat downcast.
Yan Xia took out the indenture and tore it to shreds with a 'swish swish'.
"From now on, you will be freed from your lowly status. If you want to leave, I will give you one hundred taels of silver. If you want to stay, I will not interfere with you and it is up to you."
Feng Shi's new identity was arranged for him by the brokerage firm.
It uses the identity of a dead man.
Wang Dagen, a native of Duanzhou, was extremely rustic.
I will not wait for the right time to answer.
Yan Xia continued.
"Let me make this clear first: I don't look down on you. We've had a brief affair, but I'm getting old. I'm already thirty-two, old enough to be your mother. I have children and I'll soon be a grandmother. I can't give you a home, and there's no future for us. If you want to live a normal life, take one hundred taels and go make a living. If you want to stay, I'll treat you like my cousin or nephew and have the servants take good care of you. After all, I've taken your virginity, and I'll support you for the rest of your life."
Upon hearing Yan Xia's sincere words, Feng Shi's eyes immediately filled with tears.
He knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"I'm sorry, my benefactor. Nothing actually happened between us. It was my fault. I was thinking of using your name to leave the brothel. I will repay you the money, I promise."
Yan Xia was dumbfounded.
So she got ripped off?
She said it herself.
I slept all night and there was nothing wrong with my body.
When he went to the outhouse, his underwear was still clean.
I thought the original owner wasn't a virgin, so she wouldn't bleed.
So nothing happened? Damn it!!
They thought they had eaten meat.
After all that, I didn't even get a sip of the broth.
Her three thousand taels!
Yan Xia wanted to scream and cover her head.
After taking a few breaths, she composed herself.
He continued, "Fine, you don't need to pay me back. Consider it a good deed on my part. Do you still have family? You can go back and find them. I don't know how you ended up in a brothel. If you don't want to go home, you can find a village, build a small house, and live a good life. I keep my word. One hundred taels should be enough for you to start over. You don't need to thank me. I misunderstood. Here, take this."
Yan Xia pretended to reach into her sleeve, but actually took out a hundred-tael silver note from her spatial storage and handed it to Feng Shi.
“My family is gone, Manager Yan. Thank you for redeeming me. I want to stay here. I was saved by you. I will repay you with three thousand taels, even if I have to work like a cow or a horse. Please let me stay.”
At this moment, Feng Shi felt extremely sad.
On one hand, he felt guilty for taking advantage of Yan Xia, and on the other hand, he was moved by Yan Xia's actions.
Since his family fell into ruin, no one has shown him any kindness.
Hatred in my mind was replaced by gratitude.
Corrupt officials must be killed, but kindness must also be repaid.
His maternal grandmother came from a merchant family, and his mother also learned a great deal about business, managing the shop exceptionally well.
Hearing that Manager Yan runs a pastry shop, he could help his benefactor earn more money.
After repaying the debt of gratitude, I will go and exchange my life with the corrupt official.
What nonsense about being reborn as a cow or a horse in the next life? If he doesn't repay the kindness, he will never leave.
Do people have an afterlife?
If there is an afterlife, why don't his parents and elder brother come to find him?
Feng Shi's head was kowtowed to the ground, and he did not lift it for a long time.
Yan Xia was in a dilemma; she couldn't take back the silver notes in her hand, nor could she force them on her.
Just as I was worrying, the system's voice came to my mind.

Shi Jingyu?
Who is it?
Could it be just a coincidence?
Isn't his name Wang Dagen?
So his identity is fake too? Just who is this Feng Shi?
"I can keep you, but... you must tell me your secret, everything!"
