Xie Wan Ning was shocked by these words, her pupils gradually dilated, full of disbelief.
What on earth does he regard women as?
Lu Ziyan couldn't stand her looking at him like that, and frowned, "If I had known that you were so soft-hearted towards this woman, I shouldn't have let you see her."
He waved his hand, and Ming Jian, who had witnessed the argument between the two men, felt as if he had been pardoned, and quickly carried the man out.
The door was about to be closed again when a clear and urgent female voice was heard from outside.
The voice brought Xie Wan Ning back to her senses. When she looked up, she saw a woman running in, avoiding Ming Jian's obstruction.
At first sight, Xie Wan Ning guessed the other party's identity.
This was probably what Pei Yuqing had mentioned, the beauty in Lu Ziyan's beauty trap for him, the cousin who looked very similar to her.
They really look alike.
Xie Wan Ning was somewhat shocked when she suddenly saw someone who looked 60% like herself.
The same thing happened to Chen Xier. Her knees, which were about to collapse, straightened up and she stared at Xie Wan Ning in a daze.
After she realized what was happening, she looked puzzled and called out tentatively, "Cousin?"
Xie Wan Ning was stunned.
"You must be the cousin of the Xie family," Chen Xier said eagerly after confirming her identity, "Please save me!"
The first thing they did was to ask for help, and the location was a military camp.
Xie Wan Ning's head seemed to be hit by a heavy object, and she felt dazed.
Has Lu Ziyan changed his career to become a brothel owner?
Specifically throwing women into the military camp?
She slowly turned her head and looked at the person beside her.
There was no need to say anything. Just a glance was enough for Lu Ziyan to understand her thoughts.
His face suddenly darkened, "It's not what you think."
Even though Chen Xier had learned to read people's faces since she was young, she had no way of guessing what Xie Wan Ning was thinking at this moment. She thought that she had misunderstood the relationship between her and Lu Ziyan, and hurriedly wanted to explain.
Lu Ziyan glanced at her coldly, and the chattering Chen Xier suddenly shut up with fear on her face.
Seeing this, Xie Wan Ning was startled.
I remembered what Pei Yuqing said, when Lu Ziyan was taking Chinese medicine, two girls came into the room.
Seeing how he doesn't take women seriously, it seems he is indeed capable of having sex with two women at night.
Lu Ziyan had no idea what she thought of him at the moment, so he tilted his head and explained seriously: "She is here because I plan to send someone to send her back to Qingzhou, not to entertain the troops."
He accepted the person that day with the intention of giving him a job to the old man. Now that his plan has failed, of course he will send the person back to where he came from.
Every failure makes one wiser. Lu Ziyan had long ago made up his mind that he would never keep any woman around him in this life, so as not to let her misunderstand him in the slightest and affect his plan to pursue his wife.
Because of Liu Manrou's matter, Xie Wan Ning was really skeptical about what he said. She looked at her distant cousin.
Seeing her looking at her, Chen Xier's knees softened and she knelt down softly, tears falling before she spoke. She moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but then she looked at Lu Ziyan timidly, filled with fear.
Such an attitude made Lu Ziyan's face darken.
Xie Wan Ning frowned slightly as she watched, "He said he would take you home, is that true?"
"Lord Lu is right, but Xi'er doesn't want to go back," Chen Xi'er cried softly, "Xi'er's biological mother is no longer in this world, and the Chen Mansion is no longer my home. Once I go back..."
She didn't know what happened in the court today and that the Chen family would soon be destroyed. She was horrified when she thought about the situation she would face when she returned home.
"A girl like me who is rejected by a nobleman will not have a good ending."
Chen Xier was trembling all over, tears streaming down her face. She no longer cared about her delicate posture and cried without any image.
"The best outcome would be for my father to still recognize me as the daughter of the Chen family and give me away as a maid or concubine as a daughter of the Chen family."
But the place you are sent this time may not be a dangerous place.
"It's more likely that my father thought I was useless and couldn't win over the nobles, so he threw me into the Chen family's backyard, just like those skinny horses kept in the mansion, waiting for guests to come to the mansion and calling me to serve on the bed."
As she spoke, she sobbed a little, "My third sister was sent back and became a maid used to entertain guests in the mansion."
After these words were spoken, the room fell silent.
Except for Chen Xier's sobbing, no one spoke for a while.
Carrying Liu Manrou's Ming Sword outside the door, Xie Wan Ning and Lu Ziyan stayed in Qingzhou for several months. She knew what kind of person Chen Wen was, but she seemed to be listening to a foreign language.
Her aunt was a concubine's daughter of the Marquis of Qucheng. Even though her biological mother was born in a lowly family, which led to doubts about her bloodline and she was not included in the Zheng family tree, she must have been married off as a concubine at that time.
Even if Chen Xier was born out of wedlock, she was still a legitimate girl from the Chen family. How could she be afraid of becoming a maid to entertain guests?
Is there really a father who not only sends his own daughter to be a concubine, but also arranges for her to become a prostitute to serve in bed?
The Xie family's ancestral home is in Xiangzhou. It is a prominent family with a history of more than a thousand years. The family tradition is upright and the whole family is full of elegant people. Xie Wanning's father and brother are all gentlemen with a clear mind and a bright moon in their arms.
As for the noble families in the capital, no matter how filthy they are inside, they have to maintain a clean appearance on the outside. Such despicable activities are always despicable.
So, this was the first time Xie Wan Ning heard about the absurd thing that a father who was a high-ranking official let his own daughter be a prostitute to entertain guests.
Even if the world is about to fall into chaos, the constraints of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame will no longer be so effective, and the status of women will become lower and lower, but this is too outrageous.
"Such scumbags are a minority after all, don't take it to heart,"
Lu Ziyan approached and wanted to pat her shoulder, but he stopped just before he raised his hand. He only said, "Chen Wen is corrupt and commits heinous crimes. The entire Chen family cannot escape. By the beginning of next spring at the latest, there will be no more Chens in Qingzhou."
