Jinqiu neither agreed nor objected. After a moment of silence, she left. Yang Cui couldn't tell what she was thinking.
If things don't work out with Jinqiu, could the two guards standing at the door become a breakthrough point?
How could they resist the lure of huge profits?
As the water clock struck midnight, the Qunfang Pavilion gradually grew quiet.
Jinqiu hadn't arrived yet, but neither had the madam. Yang Cui thought that Jinqiu probably hadn't informed on them, otherwise, given the madam's personality, she wouldn't have remained completely silent.
Yang Cui yawned. She was actually very sleepy and her head was still a little dizzy, but since she was still in danger, she dared not let her guard down and forced herself to stay alert.
Just as they were about to bribe the two men outside the door, they heard...
"Miss Piaoxiang, it's so late, what brings you here?"
"I heard that a stunning beauty came today, so of course I couldn't resist my curiosity and wanted to see just how beautiful she was that made Fang's mother praise her so highly."
Piaoxiang had been working at Qunfang Pavilion for over seven years, always behaving herself properly and honestly. The gatekeepers, without suspecting anything, let her in directly.
Piaoxiang sized up Yang Cui, then said disdainfully, "She is indeed quite good-looking. Fang's mother is getting old, and her taste is getting worse and worse. This can be called a beauty? Pshaw..."
Yang Cui: "..."
Yang Cui didn't react in time, and Piaoxiang whispered, "I am Jinqiu's older sister."
Upon hearing this, Yang Cui had a bold guess in her mind.
Just then, the gatekeeper's voice rang out from outside the door again.
"You're yawning all the time, are you sleepy? Why don't you go and rest for a bit, and I'll take over later."
"That's fine then, thank you for your hard work, brother." After saying that, Yang Cui heard the sound of footsteps leaving.
Hearing that the man had left, Piaoxiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Jinqiu told me that you could help her redeem herself?"
Hearing this, Yang Cui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you can help me, I can also help you redeem yourself. It's so late, and you've come to me because you want to leave this place, so helping me is also helping yourself."
How would you like us to help you?
"Go find the manager of the Star Gazing Tower and tell him I am Yang Cui..."
"Yang Cui? You're Yang Cui, the ex-wife of that famous third-place scholar?" Piaoxiang exclaimed excitedly.
famous???
Am I really that famous?
"Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. I never thought it would even reach here," Yang Cui said with a wry smile.
“Miss Yang, as a fellow woman, I admire you very much.” At this moment, when Piaoxiang looked at Yang Cui again, her eyes and attitude were different.
Piaoxiang continued, "Miss Yang, my sister and I have fallen into prostitution against our will. We are willing to do anything you ask of us. We beg you to redeem us after you are freed from this predicament."
After saying that, Piaoxiang pretended to kneel down.
Yang Cuixu helped her up, saying, "Miss Piaoxiang, this is not right. In the end, we are both getting what we need. If you can help me spread the letter and persuade the manager of the Star Gazing Tower, I will definitely repay you by redeeming you and your sister."
"Don't worry, Miss Yang, Piaoxiang will definitely get this done."
...
The next morning, at the Star Gazing Tower in Gaoxin County.
"Manager Wei, there's a guest in a private room upstairs who wants to see you."
Upon seeing Wei Shengjin, the waiter who had received a tip from Piaoxiang immediately led him to a private room.
Wei Shengjin never frequented brothels, so he did not know Piaoxiang.
Upon seeing Wei Shengjin, Piaoxiang stood up and curtsied to him: "Manager Wei, I apologize for disturbing you, but I have no choice. I am Piaoxiang from Qunfang Pavilion."
Wei Shengjin had never been to a brothel, but he knew what Qunfangge was.
"The best-selling fried chicken and herbal jelly in your restaurant these days are made by the Yang family of Wan'an County. Manager Wei should know that, right?" Piaoxiang got straight to the point.
Wei Shengjin nodded, looking at Piaoxiang with great confusion, really not knowing what this had to do with a courtesan like her.
"I am here today to speak with you on behalf of Yang Cui."
"You represent Yang Cui?" Wei Shengjin asked in surprise, his face full of disbelief.
"Manager Wei, please don't be surprised. Listen to me. Miss Yang is currently in trouble and is trapped in the hands of Mama Fang of Qunfang Pavilion. She asked me to deliver a message to you. First, she wants you to immediately send a message to your master. Second, she wants you to find a way to get her out as soon as possible. In return, she can give you a recipe for a delicacy that is no less delicious than fried chicken."
Wei Shengjin was stunned and did not agree immediately. Mainly, he was still doubting the authenticity of the matter, and also because the matter was too sudden and difficult to accept at once.
Piaoxiang added, "Miss Yang said that she still has business dealings with your master. You saved her, which is considered a meritorious service, and your master will definitely reward you."
If you don't believe me, you can take her out of the brothel and arrange for her to stay elsewhere. When your master arrives, the truth of her words will be revealed. If she is lying, you can do whatever you want with her. If she is telling the truth, you will be her benefactor. In addition to offering her the recipe for delicious food, you will also receive a generous reward.
Miss Yang also said that Manager Yu's business at the Star Gazing Tower had grown so rapidly because he gave her a chance, and Manager Ma's success in selling dried peaches and plums was also due to his trust in her.
The implication is that if you believe her, you'll be the next Yu Hema.
As soon as the fragrant words were spoken, Wei Shengjin was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"Manager Wei, Piaoxiang has delivered her message. Please make a decision as soon as possible. Miss Yang can only hold on for two more days at most. If she stays any longer, I'm afraid Madam Fang will force her to take customers."
"Why did you relay her message? You guys..."
“Miss Yang promised that as long as she gets out, she will redeem us sisters from our servitude,” Piaoxiang said bluntly.
