Peng Yingchun was taken by Shangguan Lin into a shop with the signboard " Spring in the South ", and he disappeared after sending her into the shop.
He said that he ran a restaurant. Could this be his restaurant?
Peng Yingchun really wanted to believe that this place was a restaurant, but the longer she stayed, the more she felt that this place did not look like a restaurant at all.
She looked around in confusion, but the more she looked, the more frightened she became.
Most of the residents of this pavilion were young and beautiful women. They were all covered with a thick layer of rouge and makeup, making them look like they were performing in a big show. They were also wearing a tulle coat that was quite revealing for ancient women. The inner pocket was not covered at all, and it was obvious.
It turned out that underwear was popular since ancient times! Peng Yingchun thought to herself.
Which place had the most women? What kind of woman would dress so scantily?
Peng Yingchun had already sensed it in her heart, but she saw it with her own eyes and was afraid in her heart. She did not dare to spread it around, afraid that she would alert the enemy.
Other than the women, there were also a few fierce-looking burly men here. Each of them looked fierce and ferocious. There were many scars on their faces and hands.
It seemed that these people's positions were either bodyguards or thugs. They specialized in dealing with unreasonable guests and disobedient waitresses.
Uh…in ancient times, they seemed to be called brothels or bawds. In short, they were responsible for watching these women so that they could not escape.
He wondered if she was also in the area they were guarding.
Sigh! How did she end up in a brothel? She was in deep trouble.
Peng Yingchun began to regret sneaking out of Grand View Garden, which was why she had fallen into such a situation.
Where did that damned Shangguan Lin go? If he left her here, who knew where he would go to have fun!
To think that she was so smart and thought that no one could fool her. Now, she might have been sold, but she was still counting money for others.
She was originally smart all her life, but at this critical moment, she was muddle-headed. Now that Shangguan Lin was missing, she was trapped in a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. Her wisdom was going to be completely ruined!
As she walked, she walked from the backyard to the spacious hall in front of her.
"Miss Yingchun is awake!"
A sharp voice rang out in the quiet hall. An elderly woman dressed in a red robe walked towards her.
Peng Yingchun knew who she was. She was probably the person in charge here.
Ever since she came here, she personally served her hot meals every day and even sent some jewelry and silk from time to time.
"Good morning, Miss Bao!" Actually, it was already past noon. It was not early at all.
"Don't call me Miss Bao, it sounds awkward. You should just call me Granny Bao like everyone else.”She waved the handkerchief in her hand exaggeratedly.
Baozhu was over forty years old, but she was still charming. No wonder people said that women were forty-one flowers.
"But you're still so young and beautiful. If I call you granny, I'll call you old!”Peng Yingchun sweetly flattered Bao Zhu.
She was now trapped in a thief's den. If she didn't show off her photos and rope in more important people, her future days would be difficult.
Peng Yingchun's praise made Baozhu's heart blossom.
"Your little mouth is really sweet!”Bao Zhu covered her mouth with her handkerchief and chuckled happily.
"Right! Don't come to this hall if there's nothing important, especially at night. I'm afraid that if you suffer any losses, I won't be able to explain it to Young Master Shangguan.”
Hearing Baozhu mention Shangguan Lin, Peng Yingchun was curious about what kind of position he occupied in this Jiangnan Spring. Otherwise, why would even the brothel madame be respectful to him?
Moreover, according to what she said, he probably didn't sell her to a brothel. He just let her stay here temporarily.
"Who is Shangguan Lin? Miss Bao seemed to be very familiar with him.”
"I am very familiar with Young Master Shangguan, but I cannot tell you who he is because it is a secret.”Bao Zhu was tight-lipped and refused to reveal anything.
If she couldn't find out what she wanted to know, then she would find out his whereabouts.
"Then where did he go? What plans do you have for me?"
"Young Master Shangguan has returned to Suzhou and will only be back in a few days. As for you, he only taught us to treat you well and said nothing else. However, you are the first girl he brought back personally. I think you must have a very important position in his heart.”
Because Shangguan Lin left in a hurry without saying anything, Bao Zhu thought that Peng Yingchun must be his lover, so she treated her with all kinds of courtesy and protected her safety everywhere, afraid that some blind guy would bully her.
Peng Yingchun felt that there was no need to ask anything because she knew that she would not be able to get anything out of him.
Bao Zhu actually misunderstood her relationship with Shangguan Lin, that meant she was the kind of person who didn't know anything.
"I've been bored for a few days. I want to go outside and get some fresh air.”
Although he wasn't by her side to help her, she felt that she should take the initiative to look for a master. She wanted to start with the temple and Taoist temple.
"That's not good!" She couldn't make the decision.
If something happened to her outside, it would be hard for her to explain to Shangguan Lin.
"There's nothing bad about it. I'm just going out for a walk. I'll be back soon.”Peng Yingchun insisted.
"Please do me a favor and don't make things difficult for me. Without Young Master Shangguan's orders, I can't let you out.”Bao Zhu wanted to stop her.
"Don't stop me, let me out!"
"No!"
Both of them were very insistent and did not give in to each other. Their voices were louder and louder, attracting many onlookers.
"I'm not a girl under your banner. Why can't you let me out?”Peng Yingchun was furious.
She was a guest here, not a criminal or a girl who sold herself. Baozhu had no right to stop her.
"You are!"
The two words were not spoken by Bao Zhu, but by a man's voice.
Peng Yingchun wanted to see who could decide whether she would sell her body or not.
When she turned around, she saw a very familiar man standing behind her.
Who was he?
"Who…who are you?" She wondered if he was the person she had guessed.
"Miss Yingchun, have you really forgotten who I am?”He glanced at her, not believing that she could be so forgetful.
She could easily forget what happened earlier, but he would never forget it!
"Shangguan Lin!" Peng Yingchun exclaimed.
No way! Was it really him?
It was surprising how handsome he looked when he changed back into men's clothes.
His scholarly elegance made her heart skip a beat.
Peng Yingchun swallowed her saliva and stammered,""Is it really you?"
Shangguan Lin walked past her and saw her surprised expression.
He really didn't understand why she was so happy about his appearance, because his appearance meant that her suffering had begun. This was not worth being happy about at all.
Peng Yingchun didn't notice anything different about him at all. She even smiled and held his hand.
"You said you would take me to find a way home. Now that you're back, quickly fulfill your promise!”
"Go home?" Shangguan Lin humphed in amusement.
She was too naive. How could he let her go?
"Granny Bao, take her away and don't let her leave the room.”The payment for bringing her out of the Grand View Garden was only about to be settled now.
What did he mean by that? He didn't want her to leave?
Peng Yingchun suddenly felt her scalp go numb. She felt like she had really gotten on the wrong boat.
She had thought that he was harmless, but she did not expect him to be the most dangerous person.
"Why are you imprisoning me? I'm a free person, not a girl from your building.”
She wanted to reason with him, but she had forgotten that he was an unreasonable person.
"Ever since you entered Spring Brook, you are a girl in the building. Without my orders and permission, you are not allowed to leave this place.”He was the most important person in Spring in the South, and no one could disobey his orders.
If she didn't hear wrongly, he must be crazy!
"When did I sell myself?" He must have remembered wrongly.
"Why do you think I went through so much trouble to get you out of Grand View Garden?”The meaning in his words couldn't be more obvious.
He... So his goal was her, and she had stupidly walked right into his trap!
"Don't think that a woman like me is easy to bully. I'm not afraid of you!”she said, bluffing.
Based on her previous experience of dominating him, she didn't believe that he would be able to touch her.
"Hahaha!" Her pretense would only make Shangguan Lin feel ridiculous.
Now that she had fallen into his hands, he was no longer afraid of her. She wanted to use the same tricks that she used to deal with him in the past, but it was just a waste of energy.
"It's illegal to force a good girl into prostitution!" Although it was ancient times, they couldn't force people to be prostitutes!
"Breaking the law?" She was too naive. "Since I dare to open a brothel, I'm not afraid of breaking the law. Moreover, I have a good relationship with the government.”
Oh no, he was actually not threatened!
"We…we don't have any deep hatred, you don't have to do this!”She retreated as she spoke, looking for an opportunity to escape.
Even if he had played a prank on her in the past, she had protected him from being exposed. She was his benefactor, so he should not bite the hand that feeds him.
"Capture her!" Sensing her attempt to escape, Shangguan Lin immediately ordered.
" Ah--" Peng Yingchun hurriedly turned around and ran, trying her best to escape this disaster.
Seeing that she had run away, Shangguan Lin did not make any movements. He just opened his fan and waited for her to return on her own.
As he expected, she walked back in a short while.
"Why aren't you running anymore?" he asked mockingly.
" You..." Peng Yingchun gritted her teeth in hatred. She almost wanted to bite him.
He had already sent someone to wait for her outside. It was impossible for her to escape successfully, so she was forced to retreat by that person.
"Wu Yong, lock her in the room."
"Yes, sir!"
Wu Yong immediately grabbed Peng Yingchun's hands and pushed her inside.
"Let me go! Let me go!" She wanted to struggle, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not break free from Wu Yong's restraint.
"Shangguan Lin, hurry up and ask him to let go of me!”
No matter how Peng Yingchun shouted, no one paid attention to her.
"Help! Help!" Seeing that they had no reaction, she gave up the idea of asking them to let go of her and turned to ask for help.
She couldn't break free from them, but perhaps someone outside would hear her cry for help and come to save her.
Shangguan Lin looked at her coldly. He couldn't stand her noisy screams.
It was really noisy!
"Wu Yong, knock her out!"
In for a penny, in for a pound. He might as well shut her up in this way.
Hearing Shangguan Lin's order, Wu Yong raised his hand and immediately chopped Peng Yingchun's neck.
Peng Yingchun immediately fainted. She had lost consciousness and was completely unable to call for help.
Wu Yong carried Peng Yingchun and let her hang on his shoulder as he walked inside step by step…
Peng Yingchun suddenly woke up as if she had a long nightmare. She sat on the bed, sweating.
She remembered that Shangguan Lin didn't let her go and wanted her to go to the sea to be a prostitute. She wanted to escape, but she couldn't.
Was it a dream? She wasn't sure.
Those scenes were so realistic that she still had lingering fear.
Her neck was still aching, and she caressed it absentmindedly.
All of this was probably true!
The pain made her certain that it was not a dream, but real.
When she tried her best to run away and call for help, she was hit hard from behind, and then she fainted.
He was really rough. He actually hit her so hard. He didn't think that she was a weak woman. How could she withstand a man's powerful attack?
Peng Yingchun was still not aware that she was in a tiger's den, and only complained about his knocking her unconscious behavior.
"You're awake!"
Suddenly, a sharp female voice snapped Peng Yingchun out of her daze.
She turned her head and saw that the sharp female voice was Granny Bao's. She had already pushed open the door and walked in, swaying her hips and hips.
"Granny Bao!" She wondered which side Granny Bao was leaning towards.
After thinking about it, she felt that her thoughts were really ridiculous.
She was obedient to Shangguan Lin and knew that her heart was biased towards him. It was impossible for her to betray him and let her go.
"This is how you ask for trouble. Isn't it good to be obedient and enjoy it?”
Peng Yingchun didn't want to sell her body for enjoyment at all. She didn't appreciate Granny Bao's persuasion at all.
"This is forcing a good girl into prostitution!" she shouted angrily.
"Which brothel owner doesn't force a good girl to become a prostitute?”Granny Bao said matter-of-factly. "Which of the girls in this building wasn't unwilling at first, but later got used to this kind of life and couldn't leave this place?”
"Nonsense!" Peng Yingchun felt that she was being unreasonable.
From her mouth, it was as if opening a brothel was a glorious thing.
"It doesn't matter if it's reasonable or not, since you're already here, you have no other choice but to go into the sea.”
"It's impossible for me to do something that would humiliate myself!”No matter what, she was a person with extremely high self-esteem. It was impossible for her to betray herself.
Granny Bao responded to Peng Yingchun's tough attitude with a chuckle.
"I've been in a brothel for a long time and have seen all kinds of storms. I've seen many self-righteous girls like you. Don't think that I really can't do anything to you. I have plenty of ways to deal with you and make you listen to my orders.”
If she couldn't even handle a weak girl, then she would be letting down Shangguan Lin who placed her in an important position.
With Peng Yingchun's rich experience in watching television, she could more or less guess what Granny Bao was talking about.
She did not feel fear at all. Instead, she provoked him,
"Is your plan to find someone to whip me? Or find someone to break my virginity first?”This kind of old-fashioned method had long been played on television.
"Let me tell you frankly. If you whip me, there will be whip marks on my body. Men will be scared to death when they see me. Who will be willing to spend money to buy me? Moreover, with my looks, my first night would be sold for at least a thousand or ten thousand taels. If you find someone to break my virginity, you definitely won't be able to sell it for a good price.”
These two moves were what she did not want to suffer the most, so she patiently analyzed the benefits of Granny Bao.
Seeing that Peng Yingchun was not afraid at all, Granny Bao gritted her teeth in anger.
She had seen many women, but she had never seen one with such a sharp tongue.
"Do you think I will leave whip marks on your body? Your fair and smooth skin can be sold for a good price. I'm not so stupid as to destroy it myself.”She did not believe that she would lose to a little girl.
"Then I have to thank you for showing mercy and letting go of my flawless body.”Actually, she didn't want the whip to land on her body.
Once the whip landed, her skin would be torn open. When she thought of that scene, her entire body ached.
Granny Bao was so angry that she walked out, afraid that she would not be able to restrain herself and tear her sharp mouth apart.
"I won't send you off!"
She could not help but turn around and say fiercely,"There's a way to play that won't leave a scar!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Granny Bao left again and closed the door, not giving Peng Yingchun a chance to escape.
Seeing that she had left, Peng Yingchun lay back on the bed, relieved.
At this moment, she had no chance to escape. She had to calm down and think about it.
Previously, she had been flustered by this sudden situation. Now, she had to carefully think about her next step to escape.
She did not believe that a person who had received a civilized and technological education would lose to these ancient people!
"Grandpa!"
Wu Yong deliberately lowered his voice and called out, waking up Shangguan Lin who was leaning against the back of the chair with his eyes closed.
"What is it?" He asked in a flat tone.
"My second brother sent me a letter.”Wu Yong presented the wax-sealed letter.
Shangguan Lin took the letter and uninterestedly opened it.
When he read the contents of the letter, his sword-like eyebrows immediately furrowed in anger.
"Damn it!" He balled up the letter angrily.
Seeing his anger, Wu Yong could guess that the letter was not good news.
"Master, calm down. Don't be angry and ruin your health.”
"How can I not be angry?" Shangguan Lin's face was filled with rage. "My second brother actually wanted me to end Spring Brook. If I didn't do as he said, he threatened to raid my shop!”
What was even more hateful was that he said that he had ruined the reputation of his family and wanted him to close the shop before the matter blew up. He wanted him to go home and admit his mistake, take an official rank, and then marry a daughter of a famous family.
Shangguan Lin didn't say anything about this matter because he had long left the Shangguan family and didn't need to listen to their orders. What he cared about was that they actually wanted to force him to close the shop.
"Then what do you plan to do?" No matter what Shangguan Lin's decision was, he would support it to the end.
Shangguan Lin pondered for a moment before slowly saying,""I've decided to open my eleventh store, Spring Brook.”
"What?" Wu Yong did not understand his intentions.
"Remember to open this eleventh branch directly opposite my second brother's house!”
He was not a pushover who could be easily bullied. He would not obediently accept other people's threats!#
