Chapter 29 The Evil Courtesan (11)
There is a shrine in the main hall of Hyakka-ya, dedicated to the Inari god, who is in charge of prosperous business and marriage between men and women.
Tokiho looked at the majestic and powerful appearance of Inari God on the statue and felt it was extremely ironic.
Yoshiwara violates the laws of nature and human ethics, wantonly abuses men and women of the lower class, and yet he still thrives. O Inari God, are you turning a blind eye or aiding and abetting this evil?
Since God is not taking any action, I, Shi Sui, will cut off the root of desire!
...After coming out of the main hall, Xiangyu's legs were weak and she could only walk slowly with the support of Shisui.
But as soon as she walked out of the Baihua House and saw the servants outside, Xiangyu practiced the self-cultivation of a courtesan, and forced herself to cheer up, as if nothing had happened, and returned to her bedroom surrounded by people.
After closing the door, Shisui handed her a cup of tea. After Xiangyu drank it, she slowly calmed down.
They were able to escape safely today, and Xiangyu thanked God a thousand times in her heart.
"Sui Sui ah..." Xiangyu's voice was still a little trembling, "It's still fifteen days until the beginning of winter. During this time, I will think of a way to get you out of Yuejian Tower safely."
Just now, Ping Sanlang agreed to Xiangyu's request out of a desire to watch a show.
Anyway, he has no shortage of toys, and he doesn't really need Tokiho right away...
Tokiho held Xiangyu's hand and said, "Ms. Xiangyu, why did you agree to such a despicable request for me? Saeki is the murderer who killed your sister!"
"If I hadn't asked you to accompany me to the Hundred Flowers House, you wouldn't have been targeted by the landlord. Besides, even if this incident hadn't happened, it wouldn't be my turn to choose who I gave my virginity to..."
"Is the owner of our Yuejian Tower really that scary?"
Xiangyu sighed heavily: "Almost no woman who has entered his bedroom has ever come out alive..."
Tokiho blurted out, "Isn't he paralyzed? How can he still play so well?"
"Shh!" Xiangyu motioned her to keep her voice down. "I don't know either... I just heard that most of the girls who were dragged out were covered in blood and flesh, with not a single spot on their bodies left intact."
cough……
Tokiho thought that she should have killed this pervert right then and there.
"So, you must not fall into his hands." Xiangyu said to Shisui nervously, "I will find someone to arrange to send you away tomorrow on the day of the New Oiran Festival!"
"But what are you going to do when I'm gone?"
"Don't worry about that. After I appear at the New Oiran Festival, I'll be a cash cow. The landlord won't go against you for money. He has so many women around him, maybe by then he'll have forgotten what happened today."
Xiangyu was very clear-headed and knew that she was just a bargaining chip.
Xiangyu wants to send Shisui away, and Shisui is secretly planning to create an opportunity for Xiangyu to escape and fly away with Songshan.
The two girls really have a two-way love.
"Ms. Xiangyu, don't blame me for being nosy." Shi Sui began to tease Xiangyu, "Do you really want to be the top courtesan that much?"
Xiangyu burst out laughing: "You should ask the other way around... In Yoshiwara, which girl doesn't want to be an oiran?"
Tokiho also smiled, her smile cunningly.
"Other girls want to be an oiran because of the glory and the money, but Miss Xiangyu, I'm afraid you want to be one for a man."
“???”
"If Mr. Matsuyama knew that you were going to give your virginity to that Saeki..." Tokiho broke through the last layer of paper.
"No! You must not let him know!" Xiangyu held Shisui down.
Xiangyu has been acting arrogantly for so long, and today is the first time she has revealed her true feelings in front of Shisui.
She also realized her own gaffe and immediately made excuses awkwardly: "This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Songshan. What is there to tell him..."
"Ms. Xiangyu, you don't have to pretend to be so hard in front of me. I know everything. I know your mood and Mr. Matsuyama's mood." Tokisou looked at her with an aunt's smile.
Xiangyu's heart was pounding and she was at a loss, holding the teacup in both hands.
"I lied to you before. Mr. Matsuyama has no plans to get married at all." Tokiho confessed everything.
"What? Mr. Matsuyama..."
Tokiho sighed, "You two both want each other to be happy. I'll venture a guess as to your thoughts. You think that if you become an oiran, Mr. Matsuyama will be able to live a peaceful and stable life, right?"
Xiangyu lowered her head and smiled bitterly at herself.
The thoughts she had carefully hidden for so long were discovered, and she actually felt a sense of relief as if she had finally found a way out.
"The intermittent light of a firefly flickers on and off within a foot of its hue. How can I bear the loneliness... I embark on the path of the florid nights of the floating world. He finds a beautiful bride. This is the best ending I can imagine..."
"No." Shi Sui interrupted without mercy. "I grew up in the countryside. The best endings I've seen for couples who love each other are in the mountains, in the fields, with the man farming and the woman weaving, and the couple living in harmony, with children and grandchildren around them."
As Xiangyu listened, tears fell like pearls from a broken string.
"It's a pity that I will be trapped in Yuejian Tower for the rest of my life. There will never be a chance for me to be with him."
Shisui would not force Xiangyu to plan a "prison escape" at this time, nor would she blame her for not being brave.
The fear of the poster has penetrated deep into my bones and cannot be easily dispelled with just a few words.
Unless Tokiho can put a ready-made opportunity to escape in front of the two of them, she and Matsuyama will muster up the courage to break free from the cage.
Then, using them as a breakthrough point, Tokiho will destroy Yuejianlou and the corruption of the entire Yoshiwara...
…
Although Xiangyu never actively harms others, she does have the means and abilities, and her rank is not low.
In just three or four days, she had already arranged Shisui's escape route.
Every few days someone would die in Yuejianlou, either a prostitute or a servant... The bodies had to be transported out and buried in Jingxian Temple.
"When the new Oiran Festival begins, bear with it for a while and hide in the corpse cart. I'll arrange for people to carry the body for you in advance. When you reach Jokan-ji Temple, run towards the hill behind. It will take about a day and a night to walk and you'll be able to leave Yoshiwara via the small road."
Xiangyu made careful arrangements and had no idea that Shisui had other plans.
Shisui said to herself: Xiangyu... Although it sounds a bit strange to say this, this corpse transport vehicle is actually prepared for you.
