Chapter 16
Qianjin Pavilion was exceptionally lively today. Young Master Feng spent a fortune on Miss Sangluo, and Mama Hua's face was beaming with joy.
"Young Master Feng, you are so generous. Miss Sangluo will be very fortunate to be with you from now on."
"That's right, that's right. Young Master Feng, please don't forget to come and see me now that you have Sister Sang."
"Sister Sang is so lucky. She's finally made it through the tough times with Young Master Feng."
"..."
Feng Liangyu, fanning himself with a folding fan, was smugly surrounded by a group of women with cosmetics. His long, dark eyes swept around, but he didn't see anyone. He said impatiently, "Where is Sangluo? I redeemed her today, why isn't she here?"
Madam Hua paused for a moment, winked shrewdly to the side, and then swayed forward: "Young master, don't be in a hurry. She'll be yours sooner or later. I'll go and call her down."
Feng Liangyu looked slightly worried and closed the folding fan in her hand: "No need, I will go to see her myself."
With a forced smile, Madam Hua escorted Feng Liangyu slowly upstairs. However, halfway up the stairs, a servant suddenly rushed down, looking at Madam Hua with a hesitant expression.
Madam Hua didn't understand the deeper meaning behind this, and impatiently shrugged him off. Today, the young master of the Feng family had spent a lot of money, so whatever else was going to happen could wait. The important thing was to make the young master of the Feng family happy first.
The group slowly entered Sangluo's room. Years of keen perception made Hua Mama sense a bad premonition. However, before she could investigate further, Feng Liangyu reached out and pushed open the door.
An atmosphere of extravagance filled the room.
All that could be seen were clothes scattered on the floor, the table, and the bed; it was obvious what had happened without even looking further.
Madam Hua almost fainted, not daring to look at Feng Liangyu's face. To make matters worse, the two indistinct figures behind the curtain clearly indicated what had happened.
"this……"
Everyone gasped, looking up at Feng Liangyu. The man's face was ashen, and after a long pause, he practically spat out a few words through clenched teeth: "What! Means! This!"
After saying that, she angrily stepped forward, flung open the curtain, and violently pulled the man off the bed, kicking him hard.
No man can tolerate his woman being taken by another man, even if he doesn't love her!
Jiang Chong finally regained consciousness, but before he could even realize what had happened, he was kicked hard. The kick made blood gushed from his throat, and he almost thought he had seen his great-grandmother.
"What kind of beast is this, daring to kick me?"
He hadn't realized what was happening; he was just instinctively expressing anger.
Feng Liangyu snorted coldly and kicked him twice more: "Open your dog eyes and see who I am!"
Jiang Chong narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't recognize this person, but when he saw the man in front of him dressed in fine clothes and wearing a jade crown, he immediately became more sober. He seemed to have said something wrong.
Looking back, he belatedly realized that he seemed to have done something wrong while drunk.
"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. Please forgive my rudeness. I was just a little drunk and didn't mean it."
Jiang Chong scrambled to his feet. Mama Hua had already chased away anyone who didn't want to help. Looking at the figure inside the curtain, she frowned deeply. What kind of mess was this? The money that was about to be in her hands was probably going to fly away.
"You calling me a beast is also a misunderstanding?"
Feng Liangyu bent her fingers, pressed them against Jiang Chong's forehead, and forcefully pulled his hair, forcing him to raise his face.
"I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. Please don't hold it against me, sir. You are a magnanimous person, please let me go."
"You slept with my woman, how do you explain that?"
Feng Liangyu squinted, disgustedly pulled his hand back, and slowly wiped his fingertips with a handkerchief: "I'm the kind of person who always holds a grudge. Either you leave your life here, or..." He suddenly drew the dagger from his waist, tossed it lightly, and it landed between his legs, leaving a casual remark: "Take your own life."
Jiang Chong had never seen such a scene before and was immediately terrified. He had only taken a nap and had not provoked this little tyrant.
"Young master, spare me! I was tricked and I don't know anything." Jiang Chong's eyes darted around, and he suddenly remembered something: "I have an older sister who is incredibly beautiful and a rare beauty in the world. There are many beauties in the world, why linger on just one? I guarantee that when you see my sister, you will be completely captivated."
Feng Liangyu raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Chong thought things had taken a turn for the better. He cursed Jiang Mian a thousand times in his heart. She must have framed him. If he was not having a good time, she would not be able to escape unscathed either. The person in front of him was no good. He was also a man. No one could remain unmoved in the face of beauty.
Moreover, Jiang Mian's face is indeed more useful than anything else.
"Your sister?"
Feng Liangyu suddenly asked.
Jiang Chong nodded solemnly.
"Since you're your sister, judging from your pointed mouth and monkey-like face, the beauty you speak of is probably as boring as ordinary, vulgar women."
"No, no, she is not my biological sister. Please believe me, young master. I guarantee that once you meet her, you will never forget her."
Who knows, we might even have to thank him for being the matchmaker.
Jiang Mian, Jiang Mian, since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless. This person in front of you might be some kind of devil, with wives and concubines all over his house. Your brother has found you a good place.
"I see."
Feng Liangyu leaned back, her fingertips resting on her forehead, and suddenly smiled.
That smile sent a chill down Jiang Chong's spine.
The next moment, he said lightly, "Men, tie him up and beat him to death with sticks. If he doesn't die, throw him out and never let him ever appear in Jeju again."
Jiang Chong begged for mercy desperately, but he was still dragged away by the people who rushed in. Soon, the room finally quieted down. Mama Hua, who had been watching everything with bated breath, emerged from the corner and hesitantly asked, "Young Master Feng, what about Sangluo...?"
"Someone will come to redeem her in a little while."
ah?
Just then, his servant rushed in, panicking, "Young master, the old lady is trying to commit suicide again!"
Feng Liangyu wearily pinched the bridge of her nose, glanced at the bed, got up and left.
Mother Flower stood there blankly for a long time before turning around and walking towards Sangluo with a look of disappointment and frustration.
"What were you thinking? Your days of great success are just around the corner, and yet you've caused this mess."
"Mom, I'm sorry," came a weak, feeble voice from inside the curtain.
Mama Hua sighed. She had watched Sang Luo grow up. From the first day he was listed, he was chosen by Feng Liangyu. Over the years, he had never served anyone else but him. She thought he was about to rise to prominence, but unfortunately, this incident happened. She didn't know what would happen to him in the future.
"You can't get into the Feng family now. Clean yourself up properly, so you can try to climb up to others in the future. In our line of work, the worst thing you can do is fall for a customer. While you're still young and haven't had any children yet, you'd better get rid of them sooner rather than later..."
"Mother, someone has come looking for us. They say they want to redeem Miss Sang from her servitude!"
When Mama Hua was halfway through her sentence, a maid suddenly ran into the room.
She stared in astonishment, wondering what was going on today. Then, she turned her gaze to Sang Luo, and thought, "This is really strange!"
Madam Hua hurried downstairs, thinking it was another regular customer. But instead, she encountered two young ladies. One of them was wearing a hood, and although her face was obscured, her demeanor was so striking that even after seeing so many people, Madam Hua would find it hard to find anyone who could compare to her.
"Miss, have you come to the wrong place?"
Hua's mother asked uncertainly.
The hooded woman was none other than Jiang Mian.
She smiled gently and said, "I'm here to redeem Miss Sang. As long as you have money, you can redeem any girl, whether she's a man or a woman, right?"
Madam Hua nodded. "That's right. Qianjin Pavilion would never turn down money."
"In that case, Mother, please hand over Miss Sang's indenture." As soon as she finished speaking, Yunji behind her presented the box of silver.
Madam Hua stared in astonishment at the scene before her. With this much silver, not only could she redeem Sangluo, but she could even buy Qianjin Pavilion without any problem. Thinking of this, she changed her previous skeptical attitude and immediately became flattering and obsequious.
Who would turn down money?
"Young lady, please come with me."
...
Half an hour later, Jiang Mian stood beside the carriage and saw a woman dressed in plain clothes slowly approaching.
The woman had a beautiful face and a pair of bright, dark almond-shaped eyes.
It was the fall of mulberry leaves.
"Thank you, young lady." She bowed gently, her voice sweet and charming.
Jiang Mian awkwardly helped her up: "No need for formalities. I'm the one who wronged you in this matter. If I hadn't intervened, you probably would have gotten what you wanted."
Sang Luo shook her head: "All of this was of my own free will, and has nothing to do with you, young lady."
Two days ago, Yunji suddenly approached her and offered her a high price to act in a play. After the play was completed, he would redeem her from her servitude. Jiang Chong had not touched her. This matter was just a play, and the purpose had been achieved. Now it was time for the curtain to fall and the show to end.
Just as Sang Luo was about to leave, Jiang Mian suddenly called out to her, "Miss Sang, take these silver notes."
Sangluo looked up, somewhat puzzled. This was a matter of mutual consent; she wasn't forced.
"Don't misunderstand, I don't mean to reward you. You don't have a place to stay right now. This money can buy you a small house in the suburbs, which can be considered as a way to make up for my guilt."
After all, if she hadn't interfered, she would already be Feng Liangyu's woman.
What happens next is another matter, but for now, it's considered to have "taken off to a high position".
Sangluo lowered her eyes, somewhat hesitant.
Jiang Mian shoved the silver note into her hand: "Miss Sang, we'll meet again someday."
After saying that, she got into the carriage and left.
Sangluo stood there for a while, watching the carriage slowly drive away, her eyes lowered, lost in thought.
After a while, he suddenly started walking towards the restaurant across the street.
Passing through the crowd, Sangluo arrived on the second floor, pushed open the door, and saw that familiar figure.
He bowed respectfully and said, "Young Master."
"They're here."
The man turned around and was none other than Feng Liangyu, who had just reprimanded Jiang Chong. He was leaning against the window, gently waving his folding fan. The window was half-open, and below him was the spot where Jiang Mian had just stood.
