Chapter 885: In fact, you have never regretted
She walked out of the room in a daze, amid the congratulations of the sisters in the house, some sincere, some envious, and some jealous. She packed her luggage in a daze, which had not even been put away neatly. She took the yellowed indenture in a daze, and followed the madam out of the back door of Yichunyuan in a daze. When Gu Paner bent down and got into the carriage parked outside the door, when she saw the person in the carriage, although she had expected it in her heart, she was still inevitably stunned.
"Wei, Prince Wei"
Looking at Wei Changtian, tears welled up in her eyes.
Gu Paner was stunned for a moment, then wanted to kneel down and kowtow.
However, Wei Changtian had already guessed that she was going to do this, so he took the initiative to hold her arm and said with a smile:
"Miss Gu, there is no need to do this."
"I heard about your story. It's just a small favor. It's nothing."
“.”
Looking up with tearful eyes, Gu Paner didn't know what to say for a moment.
Five thousand taels may not be a lot to Wei Changtian, but to her it means the elusive freedom.
What's more crucial is that Wei Changtian redeemed her freedom at this very moment, which has an even more extraordinary meaning.
Logically speaking, in the face of such kindness, no matter how Gu Paner repays it, it would not be excessive.
But now she couldn't even say a word of thanks.
It’s not that I can’t speak it.
But she felt that no matter what she said, she couldn't express her gratitude now.
Therefore, after being stunned for a long time, she just slowly took out the "many twists and turns" indenture contract from her bosom, bit her lip and held it in front of Wei Changtian. This action clearly meant something.
Judging from the look in Gu Paner's eyes, she did not hesitate when making this decision.
Wei Changtian did not refuse and took the indenture contract.
I looked down and saw that it was no different from an ordinary indenture.
There is the official seal of the government office, and the signatures of Gu Paner and her biological father, dated ten years ago, and the price is two hundred taels.
Ten Years Gu Paner should be in her early twenties now, which means she was sold to a brothel when she was eleven or twelve years old.
He looked up at Gu Paner's red eyes, exerted a little force with his hand, and the contract that could determine the former's fate was split into two.
Wei Changtian tore the indenture into pieces in a few seconds and threw it out of the car window.
But Gu Paner was suddenly stunned when she saw this scene.
"You redeemed it yourself. I just lent you five thousand taels of silver."
Smiling, Wei Changtian looked at Gu Paner and said slowly: "If the government recovers your money in the future, you have to return it to me."
"No, even if you can't get it back, you have to return it to me."
"But I won't rush you. You can pay it back when you have it."
“.”
I am not redeeming you, I am just lending you five thousand taels of silver. Wei Changtian's words may seem a bit "unnecessary" at first glance, but Gu Paner understands the difference.
In the former case, her identity did not change, except that her master changed from Yichunyuan to Wei Changtian.
But the latter means that she will no longer belong to anyone and will have true freedom from then on.
"Wei, Prince Wei, I am your concubine."
If Gu Paner's gratitude to Wei Changtian just now was ten points, then at this moment, this feeling of gratitude had reached one hundred points.
But she was just a prostitute, what could she do to repay this kindness? "You are not going to say you will marry me next, are you?"
On the other side, Wei Changtian "accurately" judged what Gu Paner was about to say in the next second.
He shook his head, and half-jokingly said in the face of the latter's extremely embarrassed gaze: "It's not that I don't want to, but now I have married too many wives and I really can't take care of them all."
"If you really want to thank me, then have a drink with me tonight."
There seemed to be a hint of distress in the smile on his face. Without waiting for Gu Paner to answer, Wei Changtian shouted to the driver:
"Let's go."
"Just find a nicer restaurant."
“.”
Soon, Wei Changtian and Gu Paner arrived at a restaurant which was quite famous in Linchuan City.
It was past dinner time, but there were still many diners in the restaurant, and it was very noisy and lively.
However, the atmosphere in a private room on the second floor was a bit depressing.
Wei Changtian seldom spoke as he drank glass after glass of wine. It was obvious that he was upset by what had happened in recent days and was drinking to drown his sorrows.
Although Gu Pan'er didn't know the specific situation, she could see that he was worried, so she silently poured wine for him.
"Why don't you drink?"
After finishing another glass of strong liquor in one gulp, Wei Changtian looked at Gu Paner's glass and suddenly asked, "Can't drink well?"
"Well no."
In fact, Gu Paner’s alcohol tolerance was really not that good, but she hesitated for a moment and did not tell the truth. She picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Cough! Cough cough cough!"
As the strong liquor went down her throat, the spicy stimulation made Gu Paner cough several times, and a blush immediately appeared on her little face.
Seeing this, Wei Changtian did not persuade her to drink less, but poured himself another glass of wine and said casually: "It seems that you have not been afraid of me from the beginning."
“.”
Gu Pan'er was stunned, and she suppressed the discomfort in her throat. She poured herself a glass of wine and answered truthfully, "I have seen all kinds of people. Those thugs all have a murderous aura, but you don't."
"Um?"
Wei Changtian became interested after hearing this, and reminded him in a rather "serious" way: "But I have really killed many people."
"How many?"
Unlike other women, Gu Pan'er didn't seem to be afraid of this topic, and even asked with interest: "Everyone says that Wei Yanluo likes to kill people the most, is this true?"
"Tsk, who likes to kill people? There's nothing we can do about it."
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "Just like you, I don't think you would like brothels. Ahem, sorry, I spoke out of turn after drinking."
Realizing that what he said was a bit inappropriate, Wei Changtian shut up in time.
However, Gu Paner didn't care and just smiled and nodded.
"You don't need to apologize, sir. I don't care."
"Well, that's what I mean anyway."
Wei Changtian raised his glass and muttered in a somewhat venting tone:
"Intrigue, deception, cheating and being cheated, killing and being killed"
"Fuck it, who wants to live like this every day?"
"I would like everyone in the world to call me a saint, but saints don't live long."
"If I had known this would happen, I should have had a good talk with Xiao Feng."
"He continues to be the protagonist, and I have a wife and children to live with. How wonderful it is."
“.”
I don’t know if it’s because he doesn’t have to hide anything when facing an outsider like Gu Paner who knows nothing, or I don’t know if it’s because he’s drunk, but Wei Changtian’s words became more and more “unscrupulous”.
Although Gu Paner didn't understand, she could feel the helplessness and distress in these words.
"Young Master."
After Wei Changtian finished complaining, she took the initiative to raise her glass and clinked it with his.
The wine glasses collided with each other and made a crisp "ding" sound.
And Gu Paner's very sincere voice also sounded at this time.
"I can tell that you have never regretted it."
