Mother Wang was a little skeptical about the authenticity of this young man's wealth, and she looked at Chunlan with questioning eyes.
Chunlan set her eyes on Jiang Qiao and looked him up and down. She felt that this young man was really rich, which could be seen from his dress and temperament.
Jiang Qiao felt uncomfortable being stared at. Suddenly remembering something, she pulled Mother Wang over and whispered, "Mother Wang, how much more do you need?"
Mother Wang counted with her hands, and Jiang Qiao was amazed. She was indeed the most beautiful girl.
"wait for me."
After saying that, he walked out.
Jiang Qiao planned to go to Bai Chenshu to borrow some money. She really couldn't afford to lose face in front of this person. As a princess, she didn't even have money to visit a brothel. Wouldn't it be a joke if she told others that she didn't have money to visit a brothel?
[Host, as the eldest princess, you would be laughed at if you said you went out to visit a brothel! ]
Jiang Qiao was dissatisfied: What are you talking about?
——
"Dongdongdong—"
Bai Chenshu and Qin Wei were drinking and singing when there was a sudden knock on the door.
Qin Wei asked, "Who is it?"
Jiang Qiao: "Me!"
Qin Wei: "Who am I?"
Bai Chenshu recognized Jiang Qiao and quickly opened the door, "Cousin, do you want to talk to me?"
Qin Wei followed him out. She was also wearing men's clothes. When she saw who the person was, she was so scared that she didn't dare to speak.
Jiang Qiao was in a hurry and had no time to explain. "Cousin, how much money did you take with you? Lend me some. I'll pay you back three times when I get back!"
Bai Chenshu burst out laughing and without saying anything else, he directly pulled the purse from his waist and gave it to her.
Jiang Qiao was very touched. He took the purse, glanced at the person behind him, and whispered, "Cousin, I'm sorry to have you eating my free meal today."
Bai Chenshu: ...
——
Mother Wang didn’t know where Jiang Qiao got the money from, but once it was in her hands, it was hers.
Her laughter never stopped. "Young Master, please continue. I won't disturb you."
After saying that, he took Chunlan and Yuliu out.
Jiang Qiao called them over, "Mother Wang, let them stay too. It will be more lively with more people."
The main reason was that the Oiran was a man and she didn't want to be alone in the room with him.
"Okay, okay," Mother Wang urged them, "Take good care of the young master. Don't neglect him!"
"yes."
After Mother Wang left, Jiang Qiao asked them, "Who among you plays the piano best?"
Chunlan stepped forward and said, "When it comes to playing the zither, none of us are as skilled as Master Wuhuan."
Jiang Qiao then turned his attention to this calm man. He had not said a word since he appeared.
"Then, Master Wuhuan, could you please sing a song for me?"
Wu Huan's eyes were indifferent, as if this was a task, "Of course, since you have given us money, you can ask us to do anything."
Jiang Qiao was a little embarrassed, "My master is very happy today, so let's play a more cheerful song!"
Wuhuan came to the piano, and the melodious melody rang in his ears, as beautiful as the sound of gurgling water.
But Jiang Qiao could hear a hint of sadness, not really sadness, but a feeling of yearning for freedom. She looked at the man playing the piano. His outline was not the deep type that would give people a sharp and beautiful visual effect, but rather gentle and soft. However, he was not like most people in the brothel. He did not like to laugh and always gave people a sense of distance.
Jiang Qiao felt that he didn't look like someone who should spend his life in a brothel.
The song ends.
Jiang Qiao suddenly asked them: "Why did you choose to be here?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent.
Chunlan spoke, tears welling up in her eyes as if she had remembered something bad. "Who would want to stay here if they weren't helpless? My family was poor when I was little, and my father sold me here when I was eight. You look like you're from a wealthy family, so how could you possibly understand the suffering of us?"
Yu Liu looked helpless, "My family sold me because my brother was getting married and they were short of money."
Jiang Qiao felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. She felt the sadness of this era. She remembered what happened in the orphanage when she was a child. Compared with them, the suffering she had endured seemed nothing.
"Then do you want to leave here? I can help you redeem yourself."
Chunlan smiled bitterly and poured her a glass of wine: "Master, you think too highly of us. We are in this state now. What can we do if we redeem ourselves?"
Yu Liu agreed: "Yes, people with our status will be cursed wherever we go."
Wuhuan looked up at Jiang Qiao with sarcasm in his eyes. He remembered what the man said before he died. He always thought that he was the child of a prostitute, but the man found him, called himself the prince, and gave him a jade pendant with a dragon pattern.
Before he died, the man said with his last breath that he was the prince of Ningyuan Kingdom. His mother was framed by the current Queen Consort Cui of Ningyuan Kingdom. He was maliciously switched and thrown into a remote country to make a living in a brothel.
How could he not hate her? That woman had told Mother Wang that she must never leave Manchunlou in her life.
Wuhuan finally understood why Mother Wang beat him so harshly when he ran away at the age of ten.
He is unwilling to accept it!
Jiang Qiao didn't know what to say. The choices people make are so simple and helpless.
"Sir, can you redeem me?"
This was the first time Wuhuan took the initiative to speak tonight.
Wuhuan wanted to take a gamble. The man was just a small figure and he couldn't save himself. He could only tell himself the truth. There were many spies of the Cui family in Manchunlou. Without help from others, he couldn't get out.
And the young man he met today was a good breakthrough. He was simple enough and kind enough, and was different from everyone he had met before.
Chunlan and Yuliu looked at each other, stood up and walked out. It was better not to know some things.
Ever since the last time the blood-covered man was pulled out of Master Wuhuan's room, Mother Wang asked them to keep an eye on him. They didn't want to offend him. Although Master Wuhuan was aloof, he treated others very well.
Jiang Qiao picked up the fruit wine on the table and drank it, the spicy taste permeating his entire mouth.
Who replaced her wine!
Chunlan sneezed outside the door. Who scolded her?
It was the first time Wuhuan had seen such a person. In the past, those who paid him money to accompany them for drinking, whether men or women, would want to stick to him. But today, the man looked lustful, but in fact he was clumsy and cute. It was obvious that he had run away secretly.
"Sir, are you unwilling?"
Jiang Qiao didn't dare to redeem a man. What if Chi Qianan found out? Her "proposal" would have failed in the first place.
"Aren't you the most popular courtesan in Manchunlou? You sell your art instead of your body, and your treatment is much better. You can accept customers whenever you want, depending on your mood. Do you have any difficulties in Manchunlou?"
Wu Huanxin was stunned. He could hear the man's unwillingness. Was he disgusted?
"After you redeem me, I can be your concubine."
