After that day, my brother was transferred to a place with a relatively better environment.
As for me, I lay in bed, my whole body aching, unable to even get out of bed...
These past few days, the nightly intimacy has left me physically and mentally exhausted.
He seems to never feel tired.
Qin Shisheng's smile blossomed more and more frequently—but in stark contrast, the gloom deep in my eyes remained lingering...
A few days later,
I struggled to get out of bed, then carefully dressed myself, ready to visit my brother.
After some inquiries, it was learned that he had been placed in a secluded courtyard.
There was a comfortable double bed and a separate bathroom; the overall environment was indeed much improved compared to before.
What's even more reassuring is that there are even maids dedicated to cleaning and tidying his room.
When I saw my brother, he was wearing clean and tidy clothes, and he looked much better.
As soon as we met, we couldn't wait to confide in each other and share our thoughts. We both firmly believed that one day we would be able to completely break free from Qin Shisheng's control and restraint.
Before we knew it, the end of the year was fast approaching.
At this moment, Qin Shisheng was extremely busy...
I can now enter and leave the Qin family's gate relatively freely.
That day, I made a special appointment with Sister Ye to go shopping and enjoy some delicious food together.
I secretly thought that if I went out more and saw more of the world, I might actually find a new and clever way to escape Qin Shisheng's clutches.
And so, filled with hope,
I sat comfortably in the restaurant...
Sister Ye appeared before me in a purple dress, her beautiful figure shining through.
A faint smile played on her lips. "What's wrong? Did you want to come see me?"
"Let's chat!"
"Actually, I wanted to ask about Zhou Li."
I can't tolerate any imperfections. Because my parents died early, I've been independent and self-reliant since I was a child. If I don't want to be bullied, I have to be assertive.
In upper-class society, people almost always flatter each other because the other person is very powerful and influential. If you try to put someone down, you will definitely be met with a counterattack.
In the lower class of society I live in, it's almost always a case of people stepping on each other. It's because if I step on you, you can't do anything to me. Everyone's at this level, and everyone knows it.
I know all too well that human nature is base, and most people like to bully the weak and fear the strong, so the more you fear, the more people will take advantage of you...
You must fight back; never be a weakling.
She can provoke me, seduce Qin Shisheng, I don't care~
But I'm determined to get revenge on the ugly man who's harassing me.
If I had managed to escape that time, then this matter would have been dropped.
But now that I'm back, who knows what schemes she might use to harm me in the future?
I need to prepare for a counterattack in advance.
I'd be happy if Qin Shisheng thought I was jealous and grew tired of me!
"Why are you asking about her?" Sister Ye asked alluringly, stroking her hair with a captivating and seductive gesture.
"As you know, I was resentful when she stole Qin Shisheng away last time!"
There are some things you can't say too bluntly to Sister Ye, after all, she's on Qin Shisheng's side.
"You should have listened to me sooner, or she would have stolen your man..." Once she started talking, she wouldn't stop.
I'm focusing on the key information.
"She used to be a delinquent girl in society. It is said that she served Master Qin very diligently, and that's why Master Qin took her in."
I thought of the changing room; they not only put in a lot of effort, but they also went all out—they were really going all out!
"She is usually quite obedient and sensible, perceptive, and tactful in her speech and actions, and she pretends to be an intellectual."
In fact, her academic credentials were bought; they were part of the rich second-generation persona that Qin Ye had created for her.
However, she did work hard and became popular on television.
Actually, she came from the same background as me; she used to be quite famous in the Black City area—she was the top courtesan there.
But I feel she's really insincere and good at pretending.
She always acts like she's superior to me, but it's because she serves Master Qin. Sister Ye kept nagging.
“I think Qinshan is pretty good too!” I continued Ye Jie’s conversation.
Ye Zimei smiled. "He's not as handsome as Master Qin! Nor is he as powerful or influential..."
"The greatest use of a man is that he can shoulder responsibilities, solve problems, quickly send you money when you're short of cash, help you get things done when you're in trouble, and take responsibility when things happen."
Other sweet words, small favors, cooking for you, etc., are all useless. If you're after the latter, you'll have to bear the burden of the former yourself.
A woman must know what she wants.
"You can't have it all," Sister Ye said tirelessly.
I think all I wanted was a unique love.
At the very least, I cannot share my man with any woman; that's a matter of principle.
Just then, the dishes were served one by one, and I picked up my knife and fork, ready to taste them.
A woman with a pure and lovely appearance walked over and greeted Sister Ye.
Sister Ye nodded and responded with a smile.
The woman looked at me, a fleeting hint of jealousy in her eyes.
She looked at me gently and asked.
"she is?"
Before Sister Ye could introduce them,
I responded softly first. "My name is Yao Qian~"
A smile curved her lips. "Wow~ Sister, you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen!"
Although her words were meant as a compliment, they still made me feel uncomfortable...
My intuition tells me that she is Liu Yu, another lover of Qin Shisheng.
But I also want to ask, just in case there's a misunderstanding.
"Who are you?"
