"Miss Qing'er, don't worry! The next time those people come to me, I will definitely tell you! I swear I will never hurt anyone with them again!" Seeing Lu Yunxi's expressionless face, Fengxian gritted her teeth and swore.
Lu Yunxi's expression eased slightly: "Alright, I won't make things difficult for you this time, but you've been giving me trouble before, so you have to compensate me."
Fengxian's face changed, and she regretted it so much that she almost burst into tears on the spot.
She agreed to that group of men not only because they helped her once by chance, but also because they paid her...but she is definitely going to lose money this time!
It's obvious that people like Qing'er are not easy to deal with. She doesn't know how much compensation she has to pay to make them completely calm down!
"You... are right!" She gritted her teeth and forced a smile. "How much do you think I should compensate you?"
Lu Yunxi smiled faintly: "I don't need your money, but you have to tell me any information you can get." Looking at the furnishings here, it is obvious that Fengxian has not saved much in recent years, so she can't lose much money. It is better to let her, who has been in Fengyue Tower for many years, provide her with some information.
Feng Xian was stunned for a moment, then she repeatedly assured him, "Miss Qing'er, don't worry. I will deliver any news I receive to you!"
After solving Fengxian's problem, Lu Yunxi thrived in Fengyue Tower.
However, she was only happy for two days. When she returned to her room to rest one day, she found Ling'er hiding under the quilt and crying secretly.
If it weren't for her keen senses, she might not have noticed it.
Although her residence is a large dormitory, due to the current shortage of staff, there are actually only her and Ling'er living there.
Looking at Ling'er who was hiding in the quilt like a silkworm, Lu Yunxi wanted to comfort her, but stopped before he could reach her.
Ling'er was hiding and crying alone, maybe she didn't want to be discovered?
After thinking about it, Lu Yunxi had to pretend not to see it.
Put yourself in her shoes. If it were her own emotional breakdown, she wouldn't want anyone to see it either! It would be too embarrassing... She should wait a couple of days until Ling'er was in a better mood, then ask her.
However, many things are always unexpected.
Before Lu Yunxi had the chance to find Ling'er to find out the situation, he received the news - Ling'er was going to be sold!
That day, as soon as the get out of class was over, she hurried back to her room.
Ling'er packed her things while silently shedding tears.
Although she said she was packing up, in fact, the mattresses could not be taken away and had to be left for the next girl who came in. The only thing that truly belonged to her was a gray linen dress.
Looking at Ling'er's red eyes, Lu Yunxi's heart sank.
"Ling'er, what are you doing..." She was a little worried. Generally speaking, being able to leave a place like Fengyue Tower is something that many people dream of.
But Master Bao told her that the trafficker and the madam had already agreed. Those sold by the madam usually end up in worse places. It's almost impossible for them to go to a better place.
Ling'er cried miserably, probably because she knew this.
Lu Yunxi was at a loss as to how to comfort her, so she racked her brains to think of something.
"Qing'er, don't worry about me, I'm fine." Ling'er wiped her tears, sniffed, and forced a smile. "Maybe I can go work for a wealthy family! I heard that the food in wealthy families is very good, maybe even meat!"
After saying that, she rummaged through her cabinets and under her bed, fished out two copper coins and handed them to her: "I won't need money now that I'm working for a wealthy family. This is the money I saved before, you can keep it and spend it."
After taking the two copper coins, Lu Yunxi lowered his head and rubbed them.
This copper plate is a little worn out because it is often rubbed by people's hands, but it is very clean. It can be seen that the owner of the copper plate takes good care of it and often wipes it with a cloth.
Lu Yunxi felt a little heavy.
When she came here, neither the man who had kidnapped her nor the people from Fengyue Tower were her match at all, so she was just like watching a show.
But when something really happened, she felt unhappy.
"Ling'er, is there no other way? Can't I just sell you off? Or after you're taken away by the traffickers, I can have someone secretly buy you..."
Ling'er was a little surprised and shook her head, saying, "It's useless. It takes a lot of money to buy a human being, and the human trafficker that Mom found was specially hired by Mom. He will sell us to a faraway place." She had been here for so many years and had only saved two copper coins, not to mention Qing'er who had just arrived.
Lu Yunxi lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
That afternoon.
The girls who were to be sold this time gathered in the hall, their eyes filled with confusion and fear about the future.
However, before the human traffickers came to pick them up, they received news that the brothel owner was ill.
*
Somewhere in the backyard of Fengyue Tower, in a magnificent courtyard.
A group of girls with different styles gathered together, whispering something, and their eyes swept across the room from time to time.
The girls had different expressions, some had eyes full of gloating, some were a little worried, and some had facial expressions... but no matter what their expressions were, they all felt secretly relieved.
Especially those girls who were going to be sold.
Let them get through today. Even if they are to be sold, it will be in a few days.
Just as the girls were thinking different things, the heavy wooden door with gorgeous gold trim was pushed open.
