Chun Ya did not disappear from the world, but entered the Red Mansion.
Butler Xu was unable to find out the news because Ling Jiu erased the information about Ruyan after Xu Dachun found out about Shanghua Temple.
So Butler Xu knew nothing, but Xu Dachun already had news about Chun Ya.
At first, when Xu Dachun learned that Chun Ya had been sold, he went directly to the Ling family.
Chi Xingyue pretended to be shocked. Facing the other party's suspicion, she remained calm and recounted what happened on the Dragon Boat Festival.
"After Ruyan disappeared, I sent many people to look for her, but unfortunately, no one could find her. I didn't expect that she would...
If I had known this earlier, I would have redeemed her even if it cost a fortune!"
Chi Xingyue raised her hand to wipe away her tears: "I'm sorry, uncle, I didn't know Ruyan had family, otherwise I would have gone to you to inform you long ago!"
Xu Dachun didn't expect Chi Xingyue to react like this. She seemed even more shocked than himself.
His heart ached, but he couldn't mess around here. If Xu Daquan found out, his life would be in danger.
But he would not completely trust Chi Xingyue, so he left the Ling family and went to Shanghua Temple.
After asking the villagers there, I learned that someone was indeed lost on the Dragon Boat Festival, and someone had been looking for him for several days.
Xu Dachun's suspicion of the Ling family was finally completely dispelled.
After he left, Ling Jiu and Ling Shi erased all traces of Xu Dachun and Ruyan's presence.
That's why Butler Xu couldn't find anything when he investigated.
After Xu Dachun left, Chi Xingyue sent someone to the Red Mansion.
Although he was low-key, he was determined to redeem Ruyan.
Aunt Hong sneered, "Ruyan is the top prostitute in our building. How could we let you redeem her so easily?"
"Auntie Hong, money is not a problem. Miss Ruyan was originally going to be my young master's concubine, but who would have thought that she would be kidnapped here by bad guys!
Aunt Hong, please show some mercy and let Miss Ruyan live!"
When Aunt Hong heard this, she slammed the table in anger.
"What do you mean by giving Miss Ruyan a chance to live? She has silk and satin to wear here, maids and servants to serve her, and guests to entertain her.
She was living a very comfortable life! How come she has no way out?
"Auntie Hong, you know that's not what I meant!"
"No matter what it means, redemption is impossible!"
If she hadn't been competing with Xu's Flower House during this period, she would have considered it.
But now, no way!
Ling Jiu had no choice but to ask Aunt Hong to call Ruyan out so that he could see what kind of person she was.
Aunt Hong raised her chin, Ling Jiu turned his head and found Ruyan standing at the door.
The red gauze dress wrapped around her graceful figure, and the flower ornaments on her forehead made her tearful eyes look even more pitiful.
Ling Jiu stood up: "Miss Ruyan..."
Behind Ruyan were two burly men. Knowing they couldn't escape the cage, they didn't dare to talk nonsense.
"Ruyan thanks Brother Lingjiu for his kindness. Please tell the Second Young Master's wife that it is Ruyan who is unlucky and cannot serve the Second Young Master."
Ling Jiu sighed and took out a few banknotes from his pocket.
"The Second Young Master's wife didn't expect you to be kidnapped here. She sent people to search for you near Shanghua Temple for several days...
It is true that everything is determined by fate and we have no control over it.
I won’t say any more. Just keep this little bit of money. Use it to manage things regularly and it will make your life easier.”
"Ruyan knows!"
I regretted again that I didn't seek help from the Ling family in the first place, and missed the opportunity to change my fate.
After Ling Jiu left, Aunt Hong glanced at the banknotes in her hand and shrank back in fear.
Aunt Hong sneered, "Look at how stingy he is, he really hasn't seen the world.
How many of the girls in my building are poor? Their houses are filled with pearls and jade, and they can hardly store them all!
Ruyan pursed her lips and said nothing.
Aunt Hong patted her shoulder and said: "As long as you work hard, not only can you wear gold and silver, you can even wear two night pearls on your head.
If you are happy, I am happy too, so why not just think positively? "
Ruyan's eyes flashed, she bowed and left.
Aunt Hong hummed a little tune, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
After Chi Xingyue finished these finishing tasks, he superficially severed ties with Ruyan.
Xu Dachun took a walk around Shanghua Temple and heard that Butler Xu and Ruyan disappeared around the same time, so he couldn't help but become suspicious of him.
But he did not act rashly. Instead, he took his wife with him to find out what Butler Xu had to say.
The result disappointed him.
Xu Dachun stayed in the Xu Mansion for another two days. Finally, he could not bear it any longer and came to the Honglou with all his savings, begging Aunt Hong to show mercy and let him meet Ruyan.
Aunt Hong was not an unreasonable person. She took the money and agreed that the two of them could chat for a quarter of an hour.
Xu Dachun expressed his gratitude, and soon Ruyan arrived.
When she saw her father, she threw herself into Xu Dachun's arms and cried her heart out.
"My dear, time is of the essence, so let's cut to the chase. How did you end up in this red building?"
"I don't know either. I..."
Ruyan told what happened on the Dragon Boat Festival and her own guesses.
Xu Dachun asked, "Are you sure it wasn't that young lady from the Ling family who was using dirty tricks to prevent you from becoming her husband's concubine?"
"Dad, if it was the Second Young Master's wife, she could have sold me farther away and wouldn't have had to come here to redeem me."
Xu Dachun thought about it and said, "But, but Housekeeper Xu has no reason to..."
"He must want his granddaughter to work for Master Xu. He must be afraid that if you, Daddy, complete the task assigned by Master Xu, it will affect his position!"
