Xiao Hechuan sat down opposite her, but he didn't have the patience to wait for her to make tea. Coming to such a place, he felt a lot of psychological pressure. Of course, he wanted to finish his work quickly and leave!
Just before he was about to speak, Shui Yuntian spoke again:
"What do you want to talk about, sir?"
As she spoke, she took off the veil from her face, revealing her beautiful face, but there was no trace of smile on her expression.
"Do you want to leave Bibo Pavilion?" Xiao Hechuan was not interested in her appearance. He didn't even look at her and went straight to the point.
"What?"
Shui Yuntian expressed doubts, did she hear it wrong?
"I say, do you want to leave Bibo Pavilion? I can take you away!" Xiao Hechuan expressed his meaning more carefully this time.
This time she finally heard it clearly and subconsciously looked towards the door. There was no one else in the room except the two of them, but neither of the two maids guarding the door was her confidant.
She laughed at herself. Leave? Among the women in this building, who doesn't want to leave? Who doesn't want to live a clean life?
But, can you get away?
"Sir, you are joking. There are many people who want to take me away, but money alone is not enough to make it happen. I don't think you are interested in me, so why are you saying such unrealistic things?"
She could feel that the man in front of her was not interested in her at all. He had not shown much enthusiasm since he entered the door and did not even look at her. He was completely different from those old perverts. It would be great if all the customers were like him.
"How do you know that I don't have this ability?"
Xiao Hechuan placed the box on the table and then opened it, revealing a stack of silver bills inside that made him feel safe.
Shui Yuntian was a little confused. Looking at so many banknotes, she realized that he came prepared. She felt a little touched in her heart.
He is a man of action, not just talk like others.
But she was also even more confused, because they had never even met before, let alone had any feelings for each other. They were just casual acquaintances, so why would he be willing to spend so much money to redeem her?
However, there is no point in worrying about these things. As she said, even if you have money, you may not be able to take yourself away.
"It seems that you are well prepared, but I have seen your intentions, and I am very grateful. Bibo Pavilion is not as simple as you think. As I said before, money alone is not enough. Can you tell me why you want to redeem me? If I remember correctly, we have never met before, and we have no feelings for each other. Why do you want to redeem me?"
"You just need to believe that I have the ability to take you away. As for the rest, you don't need to ask any more questions!"
Xiao Hechuan didn't want to explain so much. It was enough for him to know that she wanted to leave. He stood up and opened the door directly. The two maids outside looked at him in confusion, wondering why he came out so soon?
Most guests usually don't want to leave.
"Go and call your mother up!" Xiao Hechuan ordered.
The girls in the brothel all call the madam "Mom", and he just heard them calling her that.
The maids looked at each other in confusion, and one of them went downstairs to call for help in confusion. Soon the madam came up.
Shui Yuntian was confused the whole time and had no idea what this young man was up to.
"Sir, why didn't Shui Yuntian serve you well?"
The madam asked this question before she even entered the door, which shows that Shui Yuntian's attitude towards work is not proper.
"Come in and talk!"
Upon hearing this, the madam glanced into the room and didn't notice anything unusual. However, when her eyes saw the box full of banknotes, her eyes lit up instantly.
She walked in, the maid immediately closed the door, and the three of them sat down!
Without waiting for the madam to speak, Xiao Hechuan said bluntly:
"Fifty thousand taels, I want to redeem Shui Yuntian!"
The madam had guessed it long ago. So many banknotes were not for redeeming her body. Could they be taken out just to show off in the market?
However, the silver Shui Yuntian could earn for Bibo Tower was far more than 50,000 taels. 50,000 taels was just an external statement. There were many people in the world who could come up with 50,000 taels, and there were also many who wanted to redeem her. However, it was not up to her to decide whether to release her or not.
She was just planning to discourage Xiao Hechuan by raising the price, but could Xiao Hechuan let her do as she wished?
There is no doubt that she would say that Shui Yuntian's worth is getting higher and higher every day, and he is no longer someone that can be taken away with just 50,000 taels, so Xiao Hechuan must strike first.
He directly took out the token of Prince Xun's Palace. It was made of rosewood and the words were gold-plated. The three characters "Princess Xun's Palace" were very eye-catching. In the lower right corner, there was also a seal unique to Prince Xun's Palace. The golden pearl strung on the tassel below was from the South China Sea and was specially supplied to the royal family. It represented a symbol of status and could not be fake at all.
"If you can't make the decision, just ask the master behind you to come and talk to me!"
Xiao Hechuan knew that the owner behind the Bibo Tower was Shunyi Hou, the most powerful noble in Jeju Prefecture.
When the madam saw the token and heard what Xiao Hechuan said, her expression immediately became solemn. The person in front of her had an unusual identity. He was actually King Xun's man.
He actually knew that there was someone behind Bibo Tower.
She is not someone who doesn't know the value of things. Moreover, if she didn't have some ability, how could Marquis Shunyi be confident in handing over the Bibo Tower to her to manage?
"Sir, please wait patiently!"
She immediately asked someone to report to Marquis Shunyi and explain the whole story. When Marquis Shunyi heard that it was someone from Prince Xun's Mansion in Kyoto, his expression immediately became solemn, and he did not dare to delay for a moment and went to Bibo Pavilion.
Emperor Gaozu established the rules that from his reign onwards, the titles would no longer be hereditary but would be passed down for three generations.
The imperial court was no longer willing to support these idlers who had made no political contribution for a long time. They occupied the titles of nobility but had no idea of being prepared for danger. They relied on their titles to enjoy the food and fiefs provided by the imperial court, and stayed in their comfort zone and refused to come out.
Each generation is worse than the previous one. They rely on the merits won by their ancestors, but in peaceful times, they raise a bunch of playboys who have made no contribution to the court or the country. They are like termites.
In order to crack down on these prominent families, Emperor Gaozu changed the rules.
The title was inherited from his dynasty for three generations. Beyond these three generations, if there was no one in the family who created value for the court, they would just be commoners after three generations.
Those lords' families who stayed in Kyoto walked at the feet of the emperor, and their children had plenty of opportunities to create value. But it was different for these lords who were transferred out. Not only did they have fewer opportunities, but most of their children were brought up to be useless. They were not in Kyoto and did not know the situation there very well. How could they establish merit in times of peace?
Could it be that I am going to watch my family decline and become a commoner?
