Xu Yiran was so calm that she didn't seem to be being interrogated; she seemed more like she was there for tea.
This made Xie Lingqin...
"Bang."
Xie Lingqin's mind was racing when she suddenly heard the sound of the courtyard gate being kicked open forcefully outside.
"Ha, a lowly prostitute, she's got some nerve, rejecting me time and time again."
Then, accompanied by a sharp shout, a burly young man from a wealthy family strode in with his men.
Behind her followed Qin Mama, who stepped forward with a smile and looked at Lanxiang, "Lanxiang, look, Master Tong can't live without you today. He doesn't want any of the girls from the back alleys or even the brothels. He only wants you. Just give in."
Lanxiang glared at Qin Mama with resentment before turning to Young Master Tong. With the smile typical of women in brothels, she gave a gentle, graceful bow. "Young Master Tong, it's not that I'm refusing you, it's just that I'm not feeling well today..."
"uncomfortable."
Young Master Tong stepped forward, grabbed Lanxiang's chin, and leered, "I've come to favor you because I've heard you're quite skilled in bed. You think highly of me? And you dare to act coy with me here?"
"Young Master Tong..."
Inside the room, Xie Lingqin clearly saw Lanxiang's angry clenched hand, yet she still looked at Tong Gong with a smile, pleading for forgiveness.
Suanpizi stepped forward and looked at Xie Lingqin.
"Your friend, of course you should save him."
Xie Lingqin said.
This rich young man only brought a few people, not enough for them to practice on. However, she needed to come up with a foolproof plan to ensure that Lanxiang wouldn't get into any trouble in the future.
As for Xu Yiran, the only option is to take him away.
However, as Xie Lingqin glanced to the side, she saw Lanxiang secretly gesturing to her, telling them to leave quickly and not to make any rash moves.
"Sour Peel, take Young Master Xu away, I'll stay." Xie Lingqin thought for a moment, and although she agreed with Lanxiang's decision, she was still a little worried.
Suanpizi nodded, then immediately picked up Xu Yiran and flew out the window, but in a few moments he returned with her.
"Miss, there are so many people outside."
"Who is it?"
"It seems they're inspecting the brothels and pleasure houses outside."
What a coincidence, and there's only one way to leave this place.
At that moment, Tinghai suddenly appeared and whispered, "Miss, I'll take Young Master Xu away."
He heard everything that was said, and he wasn't about to let this person who coveted the young lady stay by her side; he had to get rid of him quickly.
Xie Lingqin did not object and nodded in agreement.
However, just as Tinghai was about to pull Xu Yiran over, Xu Yiran, who had been unable to move, suddenly struck first, slapping Tinghai's forehead with her palm.
Xie Lingqin was startled and immediately reached out to pull him.
"Tear."
Instead of stopping Xu Yiran, they tore the black cloth covering his head.
Then, the air became still.
Xu Yiran looked at Xie Lingqin's face and stopped her movement as she was about to strike Tinghai's forehead.
The air fell silent for a moment.
Outside, Lanxiang was being pulled into the house by Young Master Tong.
Xie Lingqin glanced around and immediately shouted at Suanpizi and Tinghai, "Hide!"
Tinghai immediately hid in the shadows, Suanpizi hid on the roof beam, and Xie Lingqin could only pull Xu Yiran to hide under the bed.
The moment the door was pushed open.
Lanxiang glanced towards the inner room and breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, they were all gone.
but……
Something seems off under the bed.
Thinking of something, Lanxiang grabbed Young Master Tong's arm, "Young Master Tong, how about we lie on the soft couch together? I'll help you, I..."
"You wretch, you dare to negotiate with me? Let me tell you, if you don't serve me well today, I'll make sure you die a horrible death."
Yes, yes, yes, yes...
Under the bed.
Xie Lingqin clearly sensed that Lanxiang had glanced in their direction, so she pulled Xu Yiran a little closer.
After all, the bed isn't very big.
The man was tall.
"Shh!" Xie Lingqin gestured for him to be quiet.
Let's talk about this after we've resolved things here.
"So, you like me too."
"What?"
Xie Lingqin's heart skipped a beat.
"You captured me because you want to see me."
"Don't misunderstand, I just..."
They just wanted to kidnap someone to find out some secrets, but...
They shot themselves in the foot.
"If you didn't like me, didn't have a crush on me, why would you have someone kidnap me? Was it because you fell in love with me at first sight that day?"
"Xu Yiran, you were cuter that day."
Xie Lingqin said in a low voice.
I never expected Xu Yiran to be this kind of person.
Xu Yiran, with her sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, smiled slightly under the dim light of the bed, "Is that right? Why won't you admit it?"
"If you talk nonsense again, I'll cut out your tongue."
Xie Lingqin didn't want to argue with this person anymore, so she switched the dagger to Xu Yiran's throat. "I don't mind ending you right now."
"Are you willing to do that?"
"You can give it a try."
"Then I won't try. If you really kill me, I will never be able to see you again."
Xu Yiran shut her mouth obediently this time, but in the darkness, her eyes, which seemed to hold a pool of autumn water, remained fixed on Xie Lingqin without blinking.
At that very moment, a weight was placed on the bed above their heads.
"Young Master Tong, please don't worry. I'm really not feeling well today."
"Oh, you're not feeling well. You're not feeling well as soon as I arrive. I've tried to find you several times, but you've always turned me away. Today, I'm not going to let you off so easily."
Hearing the sounds from the bed, Xie Lingqin's heart skipped a beat.
