Chapter 106: Lossless (9)
Cai Ju couldn't help but shudder. Brothels are different from brothels. Girls in brothels can choose to sell their art or their bodies, but girls in brothels are all engaged in the flesh trade. The ninth-class brothels are the lowest of all brothels. The people who work there receive the rudest and lowest-class customers. Because they are the lower-class people who do hard labor, they are naturally not gentle with women, and some can even be extremely rude. Girls have to receive customers all day long, from morning to night. The money they earn is not theirs, but is given directly to their mothers. If they get syphilis one day, they won't even have medicine to take. They will find a mat to roll themselves up and throw them out. It is very common for them to freeze to death, starve to death, or be bitten by dogs.
Therefore, those who were sold to ninth-class brothels were usually servants who had committed heinous crimes or had a grudge against their masters. However, Yanmei and Shuibi had been with Shen Qing since they were young. They had worked hard for so many years, even if they had no merits. Who could have known that they would end up like this?
"I can spare you the trouble, but what about Aunt Gui..." Cai Ju asked tentatively. Aunt Gui had actually surrendered to them a long time ago, so she was considered a member of Caiyun Garden.
"Madame Gui..." Ren Wanyun lowered her head and sneered, "I don't know what exactly happened that night. Now that I think about it, I need to meet with Madame Gui. After all, she's the one who knows the whole story."
…
The abandoned woodshed was filled with a lingering smell of decay. Because it had been raining for several days, green moss had even grown on the ground. Under normal circumstances, it would have seemed quiet, but in the pitch-black darkness, it seemed a little eerie.
This woodshed had been used to imprison countless people. They were all people who had made mistakes in the Shen Mansion, including masters and servants. Their fates were not very good. The common point was that after being imprisoned here for a while, they would disappear quietly in the Shen Mansion, as if they had never appeared in this world.
At this moment, some strange noises were coming from the woodshed, as if someone was struggling hard and kicked something, and there were also suppressed screams.
The lanterns were casually set aside, illuminating the woodshed. The dim light made the woodshed seem even more gloomy. Two tall women were holding two maids by the necks, desperately pouring the contents of their bottles into their mouths.
The two maids kept struggling, but their thin bodies were like chickens in the hands of the old woman, and their stuck jaws prevented them from spitting out the contents of their mouths. After an unknown amount of time, the two maids finally stopped struggling, covering their necks with their hands and looking painful.
"Drag them out." The old woman ordered the servants behind her. Two servants came in and dragged the two maids out.
"These two..." The old woman pointed at the other two maids, "Drag them out too. But Madam has specifically instructed us to take good care of them. They will eventually be sold to such a place. If you like, you can do whatever you want."
The two servants looked greedy when they heard this, and then looked at the two maids, whose faces were filled with despair.
When the two maids saw that they had almost finished cleaning up, they stood up and started to go out.
"Madam, has Madam told me what to do with this old slave?" A figure suddenly jumped out from the dark corner and hugged one of the maids' legs: "What should I do with this old slave?"
That person was none other than Aunt Gui.
"Don't be anxious, Ma'am," the old woman said sarcastically, pulling Ma'am Gui's hand away from her leg. "Madam thinks so highly of you, you must have made a complete plan for us. Just wait and see."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
The room suddenly fell into darkness again. Aunt Gui huddled in the corner, looking extremely terrified.
No one wants to die, she wants to live.
