"I'm not talking to you as a customer of a prostitute. She was kidnapped and trafficked. In our country, both the buyer and seller are guilty of serious crimes for trafficking innocent women into slavery or prostitution."
The Sun family is already on their way to jail. Your Yingxiang Pavilion doesn't want to close down, does it?
The law is the law, but in reality, if connections can be used, the law can't touch places like brothels and casinos.
Zhong Muyu's ability to accurately name the Sun family made Jin's mother very uneasy.
Who are the Sun family? They managed to get them thrown in jail, so the two people in front of us are definitely not ordinary people.
It's best to avoid provoking some people.
"Alright, as the young lady says, one hundred taels."
Zhong Muyu gave a wink, and Chengfeng handed the money bag to them.
The woman next to Jin's mother counted them and nodded after confirming that everything was correct.
Chengfeng said, "Bring me all of Fang Wan's indenture and household registration."
The woman went back silently and soon returned with two pieces of paper, which she handed to Chengfeng.
After carefully inspecting the items, Chengfeng said to Zhong Muyu, "Everything is fine."
"Alright, the person has been redeemed, so we won't bother you any longer. Dazhuang, take your sister and let's go."
"Come on, little sister, let's go home!"
Fang Dazhuang carried Fang Wan on his shoulder, and the group left Yingxiang Tower. Zhong Muyu said, "Don't rush back. She's injured. Let's go to the clinic first."
So they took a detour and arrived at the clinic.
Fang Wan just stared blankly at Zhong Muyu giving instructions; at this moment, she seemed to have not yet come back to her senses.
Ever since she was sold to Yingxiang Brothel, it was like falling into darkness. Every day was filled with beatings, endless chores, and being bullied by the other women. After she was sold on New Year's Eve, her eyes lost all their luster.
Fang Dazhuang waved his hand in front of her: "Little sister, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
"Brother? I've really left Yingxiang Pavilion?"
“That’s right, we won’t go to that place again, and no one will bully you anymore.”
Seeing his sister so distraught, Fang Dazhuang's heart broke.
After buying the medicine, the four returned to the restaurant. As soon as they entered, Zhong Muyu saw Lu Ziyuan sitting in the lobby, leisurely drinking tea.
Why is this person always running this way?
Zhong Muyu remembered that he had said he would come to deliver the blueprints, but he didn't expect to come by himself.
"Is it really necessary for Your Highness to come personally to deliver such a trivial matter as blueprints?"
Lu Ziyuan put down his teacup, his expression somewhat displeased: "So you still remember. I thought you had forgotten, otherwise why would you meddle in other people's business again?"
"How could I forget? But these two things don't conflict. Since you've already waited, then wait a little longer. I'll settle them in first."
Zhong Muyu urged Fang Dazhuang to move the people to the side room, and then directed Chengfeng to go to Liu's sister-in-law to ask for daily necessities.
Lu Ziyuan felt ignored.
Damn it, why is she always meddling in other people's business!
In the side room, Fang Dazhuang told Fang Wan to go to sleep first, and then Zhong Muyu took out the two pieces of paper and handed them to him.
"Dazhuang, these are your sister's indenture and household registration certificate. Keep them safe. Because she was sold to a brothel, she is now of low social status, and it won't be easy for her to get rid of it. I can't help you with that, but as long as you stay at the brothel, I will protect you."
Unexpectedly, Fang Dazhuang declined, saying, "Your Highness, Xiao Wan is already in this state, I can't protect her, but I know Your Highness will protect her."
Since she is already of lowly status, if the Princess doesn't mind, please keep her as a lowly maid.
Zhong Muyu hesitated: "She's experienced the feeling of being powerless. Let's wait until she wakes up and then you can ask her yourself."
She only saved Fang Wan because she felt sorry for Fang Dazhuang; she never intended to take so many maids.
After arranging Fang Wan's affairs, Zhong Muyu went to the front hall to see Lu Ziyuan.
He had already drunk a pot of tea and was feeling sullen.
"I'm sorry to have kept Your Highness waiting. Please let me see the blueprints."
Zhong Muyu was not reserved at all and sat down opposite Lu Ziyuan to get straight to the point.
Her greetings were perfunctory. Although Lu Ziyuan was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything and took out a few neatly folded papers from his pocket and gave them to her.
"These are all tanks currently in use in the military. The blueprints were drawn by the craftsmen who built the tanks."
Zhong Muyu examined each one carefully. The craftsmen had drawn them meticulously and marked them carefully, making them easy to understand.
"If you just look at the blueprints, the modification is very easy."
"really?"
"certainly."
Zhong Muyu folded the blueprints neatly: "I just don't know how you want to revise them. We can only make a decision after seeing the actual product."
Lu Ziyuan could hardly contain his excitement. If Zhong Muyu could change, then there might be a way to resolve the situation in the north!
His excitement wasn't just because of that, but also because of the kite.
He brought it with him today as well.
Because of this, he was so excited last night that he couldn't sleep. This morning, he couldn't wait to bring the kite and blueprints to find Zhong Muyu.
He happened to run into Su Zhirou in the garden he was passing by.
Su Zhirou's pupils suddenly contracted when she saw the kite in Lu Ziyuan's hand.
These past few days, she has learned a lot from the guards. Not only did Lu Ziyuan personally help Zhong Muyu, but now he is even going to find her with this kite!
Not only that, but Lu Ziyuan's attitude towards her has been strange for the past few days!
Is the truth about to be exposed?
Can't!
Absolutely not!
Su Zhirou bowed calmly: "This concubine greets Your Highness. Where is Your Highness headed so early in the morning?"
"I have urgent business to attend to in my army, which needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."
His anticipation and excitement were undisguised.
"Is it necessary to carry a kite in military matters?"
Following her gaze, Lu Ziyuan looked at the kite.
"This kite is very useful."
After saying that, Lu Ziyuan left her behind.
Su Zhirou stumbled, and Lianye quickly steadied her: "Madam, what's wrong?"
"It's over, Lianye, we're finished, he knows."
"Know? Know what?"
"We must go find Granny Zhou quickly! She's the only one who can help me now!"
Su Zhirou lost all interest in taking a stroll and hurriedly ran back to Tingzhi Courtyard. No matter what, she had to keep her position as a concubine. As long as she was still Lu Ziyuan's woman, she would have a chance!
Lu Ziyuan gently closed his eyes, no longer wanting to encounter Su Zhirou; this matter needed to be resolved.
He took out the kite and carefully placed it in front of Zhong Muyu.
Zhong Muyu was puzzled: "Didn't you cherish this kite? Why did you bring it here? Is it broken and you want me to fix it?"
Despite being asked three questions in a row, Zhong Muyu didn't dare to answer. Last time she touched Lu Ziyuan, his face turned dark, and she wouldn't want to make a fool of herself.
So she just looked at it, checking if anything was broken.
"Did you make this?"
Lu Ziyuan seemed to have made a great decision before asking this question, but Zhong Muyu simply replied casually, "Yes, so what?"
"Did you really do this?"
Lu Ziyuan leaned forward, looking directly into Zhong Muyu's eyes, not daring to miss a single glance from her.
