"Boss, Lianxing has a request that I would like you to fulfill."
Lian Xing finally spent five thousand taels of silver to redeem himself. When Lian Xing took over the deed of marriage and the indenture from Shui Yu, his heart was trembling slightly, but he forced himself to suppress the excitement.
"Go ahead."
Shui Yu counted the banknotes in her hand and found that the amount was correct, so she didn't feel embarrassed.
"Xiaochun has served me for over half a year, and I've gotten used to his service. I wonder...I wonder if the brothel owner would be willing to sell Xiaochun to me?"
"Koharu?"
Shui Yu was slightly surprised when he heard this. He had never expected that his usually cold and aloof top son would be so sentimental. However, this made Shui Yu feel more at ease about Lian Xing.
Anyway, he had already agreed to let Lianxing go. Since Lianxing was a sentimental person, he didn't mind doing her a favor and letting Lianxing owe him a little more.
"Alright. Considering the relationship between father and son, just give me a few dozen taels as a token of your appreciation. Lianxing, you are leaving Hongchen Pavilion now, and your madam really can't bear to let you go..." Shui Yu said as she took out a piece of brocade handkerchief that smelled of powder from her arms and wiped away the non-existent tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Thank you, brothel owner, for your help."
Lian Xing gave the brothel owner fifty taels of silver and got Xiaochun's citizenship deed and indenture as promised.
At 3 p.m., Lian Xing, who didn't want to stay in Hongchen Pavilion any longer, only asked Xiaochun to pack a few plain clothes. As for those gorgeous clothes with a strong smell of worldly life, he didn't want any of them, and took Xiaochun away from the place where he had lived for half a year.
Immediately afterwards, Lianxing couldn't wait to take Xiaochun to the county government office, cancel her indentures, and change her status from a slave to a good one.
"Xiaotian, I really did it!"
At twilight hour, Lian Xing walked out of the Fufeng County government office. He looked towards the capital with tears in his eyes, but an unprecedented, relaxed smile appeared on his lips.
When Yu Xiaotian persuaded Lianxing to leave Hongchen Pavilion and live a normal life, Lianxing thought it was an extremely ironic and unattainable dream.
He never imagined that one day, he would truly escape this fate of being slept with by thousands of men. All of this was thanks to the unborn child in his womb and its unique mother. Otherwise, given the temperament of the Red Dust Pavilion's brothel owner, he certainly wouldn't have let him go so easily...
Lian Xing touched his belly. At this moment, he had made up his mind to keep the child.
"Sir, where should we go next?" Xiaochun, carrying a bag, looked at Lianxing who was crying with joy and didn't speak for a long time, and couldn't help asking.
"Xiaochun, let's find a place to eat first, and then find an inn to stay in. Tomorrow morning... we'll go to the capital."
Lian Xing gazed languidly towards the capital. It had been ages since she'd last seen Second Brother Situ. She wondered if he was doing well these days...
Also, General Feng, I'm sorry. I borrowed your influence to allow Lianxing to bully others and escape from this brothel. But don't worry, Lianxing will never disturb you or your family, and will never let you know who the child's mother is...
That evening, at 11:00 PM, after having dinner at a restaurant on the street, Lianxing took Xiaochun to an inn for the night. After redeeming her, Lianxing's savings were almost gone, so to save money, he only let Xiaochun book the cheapest room in the "Renzi" room.
Lian Xing, who was used to sleeping on a high bed with a warm pillow, looked at the simple room and touched the hard bed board and rough quilt cover. Although he was not used to everything in front of him, he felt an unprecedented sense of security in his heart.
In the past, Lian Xing, who had felt inferior in front of Situ Ye because of her background, thought that if she met Situ Er Ge again, her back would be straightened a little. Although she knew that it was impossible for her and Situ Er Ge to be together, Lian Xing still wanted to show her best side in front of him.
"Xiaochun, will you regret following me and leaving Hongchen Pavilion? Compared to the past, we will have to cut down our food, clothing, and other expenses significantly in the future. We may even... we may not have enough to eat. If you change your mind now, it's not too late..." Lianxing looked directly at Xiaochun and said earnestly.
"No, Master, even if I have to beg, Xiaochun wants to stay by your side. What's more...what's more, when the baby in your belly is born, won't it need someone to take care of it? Let Xiaochun stay with you."
"If that's the case, then fine. But Xiaochun, you must be absolutely loyal to this young master."
Lian Xing's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she continued, "If you are unfaithful once, you will never be used again. If you dare to betray me, I will not show mercy."
"Yes, sir. Xiaochun will remember that."
…
At the hour of Hai, in the capital of Laifeng Kingdom, in the General’s Mansion in the east of the city, in Yaoguang Courtyard, the study.
Seeing Feng Cailan still sitting at the desk in deep thought, Yu Jingyang first put aside the midnight snack in his hand, then walked to Feng Cailan's side, raised his hand to rub her temples to relieve her fatigue.
"Sir, why don't you go back to your room and rest? Are you worried about the missing child?"
Recalling the experience of his daughter being kidnapped and almost buried alive, Yu Jingyang also felt a sense of fear.
"Things have calmed down in the capital, but cases of missing children continue to occur in the local areas. Although investigating these cases is not part of my job, every missing child represents a family torn apart."
"Respect the elderly, not only my own but also those of others; respect the young, not only those of others. Those children are still missing, their fate uncertain. I am also a father of children, so how can I bear to sit back and do nothing?"
