Bai Lu couldn't sit still in the teahouse, so she went to the door to look around, hoping that Ali would come back on her own.
Yan Xiaoli went into a restaurant to ask about the road conditions and bought some food and tea. She was thirsty and hungry, so she decided to fill her stomach first before asking for directions.
When she came out again, she headed towards the teahouse.
Half an hour later, she finally reached the entrance of the teahouse and saw Bailu looking around at the door.
Yan Xiaoli showed a look of surprise and was about to run over when a large hand covered her mouth.
She had long been targeted by human traffickers; a beautiful girl alone was a prime target.
The carriage next to her opened quickly, and Yan Xiaoli was kidnapped. She watched as Bai Lu was still looking around the teahouse, but she didn't notice her.
Suddenly, Yan Xiaoli smelled a strange fragrance and fainted.
When she woke up again, she was in a magnificent room.
A woman dressed in flamboyant attire walked in with two burly men.
"Oh, little girl, you've woken up. You're here with me, Chunniang. From now on, this will be your home."
Yan Xiaoli had never seen anything like this before. Terrified, she cried and wanted to go home. Chunniang frowned and left.
After being hungry for two days, Yan Xiaoli finally calmed down, and Chunniang came to the room again.
"Well? Have you come to terms with reality now? From now on, be a good girl and listen to your mother. Countless riches and honors await you."
Yan Xiaoli finally realized where she was. She pretended to obey, but in reality, she was looking for a chance to escape. However, she was too weak and had no chance at all.
When Chunniang informed her that she would be receiving guests the next day, Yan Xiaoli hardened her heart and made a long cut on her face.
Chunniang patted her chest in regret, lamenting the waste of such a beautiful face.
Finally, Chunniang punished Yan Xiaoli by not allowing her to eat for three days and sent her to work as the lowest-ranking maidservant next to the top courtesan.
Yan Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she was alive, she would be able to go home one day.

Bai Lu waited anxiously until night fell before Leng Lingfeng returned. He asked many people and searched many places, but he couldn't find his junior sister.
Leng Lingfeng looked at Bai Lu, who was about to cry, and he was about to cry too. He had lost his junior sister. What was he going to do?
After calming down, he came up with a plan, and the two of them went back to the mountain together the next day.
Bai Lu cried as she told Yan Yunting and Ming Yuexi.
“Yesterday, Ali and I were watching the circus when suddenly a man in black appeared, laughing loudly, and kidnapped Ali.”
Ming Yuexi's vision went black and she almost fainted. Her daughter hadn't come home all night, and she was extremely worried. Only when she thought that Leng Lingfeng had gone with her did she feel a little relieved.
Who knew I'd hear such frightening news this morning?
Yan Yunting's eyes flashed. "Do you know who that person is?"
The egret wept and cried, “He claimed to be Gong Hanshuang.”
"It's him? A remnant of the Demonic Cult!"
"What should we do, Master?"
Mingyuexi was crying uncontrollably. What should we do now?
Yan Yunting asked in confusion, "My Qingping Sect has no grudge against him, so why would he kidnap Ali?"
Bai Lu wiped away her tears. "After he finished laughing, he even praised Ali for being good-looking. He probably took a liking to her beauty."
Yan Yunting gritted his teeth and ordered his men to investigate Gong Hanshuang's whereabouts.
Leng Lingfeng and Bai Lu knelt at the door. He was not panicked. He had indeed found Gong Hanshuang's whereabouts yesterday, and he was sure his master could find them too.
As long as the master and mistress vent their anger now, they will be safe in the future.
