Chapter 543 Seeing an Old Friend again
“Fanglan Pavilion? Huh, go back and tell your Mr. Mu I’ve taken the two girls. If he dares to come and ask for them, he won’t need to open the Fanglan Pavilion anymore. Go, or I’ll break all your legs.”
The eyes of the servant in gray were filled with arrogance.
But a servant like him even knew that the boss behind the scenes of the Fanglan Pavilion surnamed Mu.
Although only a small portion was exposed, the splendor of the residence was nothing that these few strong men had ever seen.
Often fooling around in the brothels and officialdom, they naturally knew what kind of person they couldn’t offend.
They instantly looked at each other, and the leader then spoke unwillingly.
“Don’t think I’m afraid of you. You wait. Our Fanglan Pavilion is not easy to offend! I’m going back to ask about it. If you dare to cheat me, I’ll destroy the residence! Brothers, let’s go!”
After saying a few threatening words, these men walked out of the alley while cursing.
The servant in gray glanced at them disdainfully and then closed the door heavily.
When he turned around, he found that the two young ladies, who had obviously been quite frightened, were staring at him with suspicion and shock.
“Ladies, don’t be afraid. No one dares to intrude into our residence. It happens our miss needs two maids. Let me take you two to see her first.”
The servant in gray was quite courteous, but his sharp eyes glistened with cruelty.
But the two young ladies knew nothing about this. Immediately, they bowed to extend their gratitude, with a little rejoice of escaping from a disaster on their faces.
They might never dream that after just fleeing the Fanglan Pavilion, the den of bandits, they had fallen into the den of wolves.
If they knew it, they might desperately implore the procuress of the Fanglan Pavilion to let them work for her.
The two young ladies walked to the depths of the residence after the servant.
Perhaps, they thought that they were safe, so they began talking more frequently.
The residence was splendid and richly ornamented, and they had never seen anything like that in the countryside.
The servant in gray had a cold smile. “It seems that they still don’t know what they will face.”
After bypassing the backyard, the three of them came to the door of an extremely luxurious room.
That servant bent her back and said respectfully, “Miss Yu, two more people came just now. Please take a look and see if you like them.”
.
The door with carved lotus flowers was suddenly pushed open by a woman’s hands.
A pomegranate-red figure walked out from inside.
Her cold but beautiful eyes fell on the two cowering young ladies.
She took a quick glance and then said lightly, “Well, the goods are not bad this time. Go and get your reward, but leave them in my place. Come in with me, you two.”
.
Her tone was with a little romance, and her voice was so limp and numb that any hearer couldn’t help getting intoxicated.
With a lecher’s intent, the servant sneaked a few peeks at the busty breasts and slender waist of the woman in red.
As soon as he heard that he had a reward, he pushed the two young ladies to Miss Yu happily.
“Serve Miss Yu carefully, you two. Miss Yu, if you don’t have anything else to say, I’m leaving.”
Seeing that the man had left joyfully, Miss Yu looked sidelong at them and whispered, “Come in with me. Don’t stand here stupidly.”
.
It was obvious that the two young girls were overjoyed.
The reason was that they had never met any woman that was so beautiful and charming. Immediately, they became fainthearted and followed the woman in red into the room.
The door was closed tightly again, preventing everything inside from being seen.
The decoration in the room was quite sumptuous with a faint fragrance.
But Miss Yu suddenly took out two small sachets from inside her dressing table and gave them to the two young girls.
The indifference that had been on her face just now became a great surprise.
“Princess, please come into the inner chamber with me.”
Her tone was with respect and kindness, and the two young girls were no longer that fainthearted like just now.
They went into the secret inner chamber with Miss Yu.
“Why are you also here, Hongyu? Didn’t they make things difficult for you?”
Naturally, the two young girls were Lin Mengya and Xiu.
Lin Mengya suddenly remembered that Long Tianyu had once sent people to investigate Xiumei’s whereabouts.
The obtained information was that she and Hongyu were in the same residence, and there were many young girls here.
.
So, Lin Mengya had guessed if this was the right place. Besides, Night had once sent the word that this residence did exist, and young girls from different places were taken into it daily, but they were rarely seen come out.
.
Then, Lin Mengya had come up with this trick. Yes, she had made the right bet.
The servant must have thought that they were also ordinary girls, so he had opened the door to let them in.
But they hadn’t expected to meet Hongyu first in this place.
“Currently, I... I’m fine, but you shouldn’t come, princess. People here are bloody and merciless. I’ll think of a method to send the two of you out in a while.”
Hongyu had a bit of anxiety on her face.
She had thought that she should end her whole life here, but unexpectedly, she had even met Lin Mengya.
“Don’t worry. Since I had the way to come in, I naturally have the way to go out, but you said that those people caught you for the sake of asking you to prove I am not the real princess, didn’t you? Why are you here? Why do you serve as the so-called Miss Yu?”
Lin Mengya comforted Lin Mengya slightly and then raised a question about her own confusion.
Hongyu had a wry smile, shook her head, and said, “Things are hard to predict. Since I came here, I’ve been hearing them talk about you. They said that you were so great and even got the approval of the northern clans and many royal family members, and it was quite difficult to overturn your identity, so they shelved this plan, and I was sent here. Since I was a prostitute in the past, I naturally became this Miss Yu. But I was forced and committed lots of sins in the house.”
.
Hongyu sighed time after time. Obviously, she had not wanted to pick up her old job again in the house.
At that time, she had washed off all her previous filth, wanting to start over.
Unexpectedly, she had finally returned to such a shady place after trying different ways to get herself clean.
“It turns out to be like this, but what is the trick of this house? And what is your younger sister plotting to do?”
Lin Mengya had many confusions. Fortunately, Hongyu stood on her side firmly.
Otherwise, she might fall into a difficult situation in this house.
“In fact, this house—”
Just as Hongyu was about to say it, an extremely arrogant voice came from outside.
“Elder sister, I heard that you got two newcomers. I’m really curious and want to see them!”
Hearing the sarcastic move, Lin Mengya knew who had come.
“Damn it! Why is she here?”
Hongyu was panicky. If Lin Mengya was correct, she had seen fear in her eyes.
In theory, she shouldn’t have such a mood because Sumei was her younger sister.
But Hongyu was quite afraid and began smearing the two’s faces panickily with the rouge on the dressing table.
Finally, she signaled to the two to stop talking with her facial expression, then calmed herself down again, and walked outside.
“Why are you here?”
The door was pushed open. Then, a woman in deep purple pushed Hongyu away and sat down at the table in the room.
Lin Mengya could see her clearly through the gaps of the bead curtain in the inner room.
Previously, Sumei had just been a little country girl.
Although she had been a little beautiful, she had just been delicate.
Now, her skin was as white as ice and snow, and the corners of her eyes and the tips of her brows were exquisite.
The deep purple flower pattern in the middle of her forehead made her skin look even whiter.
Wearing gorgeous clothes with heavy makeup, she had a unique seductive charm.
In her eyes, there was no timidity or cunning anymore. Instead, every gesture of hers was with some charms.
Lin Mengya couldn’t help feeling a little surprised. “What has changed her so completely in just a few days?”
“Why can’t I be here? Elder sister, don’t forget that you are just a prostitute who trains these little girls. I am the house steward of the mansion. Where are they? I want to see them.”
There were arrogance and rudeness in her voice. Lin Mengya realized that Sumei had probably come here to find fault in Hongyu on purpose.
.
If this was true, she and Xiu might not have a good result if they were recognized by Sumei.
Hongyu bit her lips and pleaded softly, “Sister, I know you hate me, but this has nothing to do with others. If you want to see them, I’ll ask them out to let you see. What happened in the past is all my fault.”
.
When she found that Hongyu didn’t defend herself anymore, a bit of ridicule appeared in her eyes.
“Since you learned it, you should have assisted me in becoming the concubine of Prince Yu at that time, and it is still not too late now. The master has promised me that as long as I meet his requirement, he will have methods to send me to Prince Yu again. If I don’t like that anymore, I will still have a place to stay in either the Imperial Palace of the Nation of Lintian or the Imperial Palace of Dajin. Speaking of this, I also need to thank you. How could the master know me without you? Forget it. I’m tired and have no mood to see the two girls. You train them carefully. If you don’t want them to be my decoctions’ dregs, you know what you should do.”
Sumei’s tone had somewhat fierceness.
Hongyu cowered a bit but still nodded with difficulty.
Hongyu watched Sumei leave with arrogance. After a long time, she heaved a sigh and closed the door again.
“That was close. We were almost found. Sister Hongyu, something seems to be wrong with your sister.”
Xiu patted her chest and whispered.
Hongyu turned around, and her face was full of helplessness.
