The man slowly walked towards Ah Li. He snatched the pipa from Ah Li's hand, reached out and lifted Ah Li's chin, and even moved closer to Ah Li, smelling the fragrance on her body, "You're beautiful, and you smell good too."
Just as Ah Li was about to look up, the man picked her up and carried her upstairs.
From a distance, Ahri in the man's arms was as graceful as a willow, light and delicate.
Junru's eyes reddened. Where was her son?
Didn't you say you were coming back?
The maid came over at this moment, sobbing and pulling on Junru's sleeve, saying, "Sister Junru, we must save the girl! That man killed one of the girls in the building a while ago, but the matter has been covered up."
Junru grabbed the maid and was about to go upstairs. She didn't care anymore; if her son wasn't coming, she would go up herself!
At this moment, the madam appeared. She stopped Junru and the maid, saying, "Junru, an old friend wants to see you."
Junru turned around and saw him standing behind the madam; he had returned.
The girl was also gagged and dragged to the back.
The madam said, "This man said he wanted to redeem you from your servitude. I'm kind-hearted, so I didn't ask for an exorbitant price. I'll just give you whatever it is. But you have to give me Ah Li's indenture."
"No, no!"
Junru snapped out of his daze and quickly shook his head.
At the same time, the sound of jade shattering echoed from upstairs, followed by a woman's painful scream, and then a man's excited laughter...
"Ah Li!"
As Junru tried to run upstairs, two thugs appeared at the top of the stairs, glaring menacingly at her.
"Junru".
The man who came to pick up Junru grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. He didn't understand why Junru was reacting so strongly.
"Yanlang, please help Ah Li, please save Ah Li."
Junru's tears never stopped, whether it was because of Ah Li or because her Yanlang had finally arrived.
That night, the building was very lively, and many people could hear the noises coming from the rooms upstairs.
Every courtesan's first night was in that room. The louder the noise, the more people would know that the courtesan was a virgin.
In the past, some people would invite others to watch, while others would listen to the commotion from outside.
Later, because the commotion was too great, it escalated from one person to several, and it was said that someone had died, so the rules were changed.
...
The sun was high in the sky when the man emerged from the house, beaming and looking refreshed. It was clear to everyone how much fun he had the night before.
The man looked down and saw that there were still quite a few people guarding the area below.
There was a madam, a female tutor, Junru, and a maid.
The man straightened his sleeves, where blood was still visible. He went downstairs and said to the madam, "That man is very good. I want him. Name your price."
The female teacher carried a lot of medicine and ran straight upstairs.
Junru has Ah Li's indenture, and the madam keeps her on.
The girl was also worried about Ah Li, and she wanted to follow him.
There was a faint smell of blood in the room. Ah Li lay on the bed, her face pale, her lips bitten in several places, and her face covered in wounds.
The female teacher hurriedly went up, but before she could even touch Ah Li, she had just reached her side.
Ah Li opened her eyes in alarm and fear, her body shrank back. She looked at the person who had come in with lingering fear, and when she realized it was the female teacher, she said weakly, "Teacher, it's you."
The female teacher lowered her head and slowly approached Ah Li. Tears streamed down her face as she kissed Ah Li's forehead. She said, "Don't be afraid of me."
Ah Li seemed stunned. So this was how this person liked her.
The female teacher stepped away slightly, took two bottles of medicine, and said, "Let me help you apply the medicine."
Before Ah Li could agree, the maidservant beside her rushed in, shouting, "Miss, you must go and see! Jun Linhe is going to kill that man from last night, and Sister Junru can't stop him."
Ahri quickly propped herself up, and the next second, she bumped into something and looked pained.
The female teacher quickly helped her up, saying, "Be careful."
Ahri's face grew paler and paler. "Master, take me to him quickly."
The female teacher helped Ah Li up and said, "Okay."
Ah Li seemed to have no strength left, and was helped out by the female teacher and the maid.
When she came out of the house, she immediately saw Jun Linhe holding a sword, his body filled with barely concealed rage, and his eyes revealing endless fury. She weakly called out, "Jun Linhe."
Junru held Jun Linhe's hand, her face covered in tears. She knew her son was very skilled in martial arts, but why didn't he come back last night? If he had come back, she would have supported him in escaping with Ah Li.
The madam looked at the group of thugs lying on the ground and cursed them under her breath, thinking they were useless and couldn't stop Jun Linhe.
When Jun Linhe heard Ah Li's voice, his sorrow and grief seemed to overflow; he had returned too late.
Jun Linhe sheathed his sword and told Jun Ru to let him go. He slowly walked towards the stairs, where Ah Li was still waiting for him.
At this moment, Jun Linhe only had eyes for her.
At this moment, her long hair was unkempt and hung down naturally, and her face, without any makeup, showed a delicate and charming beauty, like a white lotus that had never been tainted by the world, making people feel pity for her.
But he wasn't by her side last night; he couldn't protect her, and she was hurt.
Ah Li reached out her hand to Jun Linhe, who immediately reached out to support her, and she leaned against him, her body going limp.
The female teacher slowly loosened her grip, and the maid followed suit.
