She was under house arrest!
When Peng Yingchun was looking for an escape route, she realized that someone had been guarding her room door and outside the window. She could not go anywhere except this room.
She wanted to see Shangguan Lin, but that Granny Bao refused to inform him to come see her.
Every day, Granny Bao would always send her meals on time, and of course, she would inevitably persuade her not to listen.
She knew that unless she was willing to stay, she would definitely not be able to leave.
It was time to eat again, and Peng Yingchun was waiting for Granny Bao's arrival.
The door was forcefully pushed open. Granny Bao had arrived, but she was followed by five burly men. Their menacing appearance made it obvious that they had come with ill intentions.
It seemed that Granny Bao didn't want to waste any more time with her.
"Seeing this lineup, you probably know what I mean!”
Suppressing her fear, Peng Yingchun wanted to calm herself down and not be frightened by her huge momentum.
"Granny Bao can't be here to give me the final order, right?”
"I've had enough of you. If you don't agree today, I'll see if your skin, bones, or my stick is harder!”
The burly man behind her had a wooden stick the size of a thumb in each hand. This would only hurt the skin, but it would not hurt the bones and leave scars. She wanted Peng Yingchun to be in so much pain that she would beg for mercy.
"Even if my skin and bones are not as hard as your stick, I will not admit defeat!”Seeing the weapon she had brought, although she was afraid, she still refused to admit it.
Granny Bao had never seen such an unruly person before. She was so angry that her entire body trembled.
"Men, hit him!" She did not believe that she could not make her yield.
Upon hearing Granny Bao's order, the five burly men immediately stepped forward and surrounded Peng Yingchun.
She was serious! Peng Yingchun was nervous.
"Fight!"
They all raised their hands and the club was about to land on her.
Even if she suffered this beating, she would not be able to regain her freedom. In that case, why was she so persistent? It was better to agree first and then think of a way to break free.
He who understands the times is a wise man. She would not make things difficult for him.
"Wait!" Soon, Peng Yingchun decided to surrender first. "Don't hit me, I promise you I'll work for Spring Brook.”
Hehe, she was smart enough to keep a trick up her sleeve. She only said " doing things " and did not specify what she was doing, so she could just be a servant girl who did odd jobs. She did not necessarily have to go down to the sea to be a prostitute.
Granny Bao didn't hear the implication of Peng Yingchun's words. She was just happy that she had finally tamed this wild cat that specialized in sharp claws to hurt people.
"Wouldn't it have been better if you had been obedient earlier?”she said with a wide smile.
Really! She had wasted so much energy setting up this trap.
"The 15th of this month will be the day of your first night auction. We call it the night of the competition. Just wait obediently. I will definitely find a better young master to help you sell it for a good price.”
If she was happy, she would pick a handsome young master. If she was unhappy, she would find a fat old master to unbud her!
Peng Yingchun could only smile dryly at Granny Bao's good intentions.
Since she didn't want to sell her body, it didn't matter who she sold it to.
"Rest well. I'll handle everything for you.”
At the thought that Peng Yingchun could help her earn back countless taels of silver, Granny Bao smiled and led the five burly men away.
Now that she was already in a difficult situation, she had to think of a good plan first…
"Young Master Shangguan, Yingchun has already agreed to sell her body. Please give her a nickname.”In order to ask for a reward, Granny Bao went straight to Shangguan Lin after leaving Peng Yingchun's room.
"She agreed!" Shangguan Lin couldn't believe it.
With her stubbornness and shrewdness, it was impossible for her to agree so quickly and so easily.
He remembered that she was still shouting and shouting a few days ago that she wanted to see him. How did she become so obedient in just a few days?
"What method did you use to make her change her mind?”It wasn't that he doubted Granny Bao's ability to handle matters, but that he had suffered a loss from Peng Yingchun before, so he didn't think she was so easy to deal with.
Granny Bao told Shangguan Lin her plan in detail.
"Did you really hurt her?" He didn't like Granny Bao's way of forcing him.
"No, no! She wasn't injured at all, and she was still fine. I was just scaring her. I never wanted to hurt her.”
Was she afraid now? Shangguan Lin was still doubtful.
However, he did not want to pursue the matter. Since Granny Bao had said that she did not hurt her, he could not say anything.
"When will you arrange for her to go on the incense competition stage?”
"The 15th of this month."
" The 15th month…" Although the time was a little fast, Shangguan Lin did not object, because Peng Yingchun was too shrewd. He wanted to end the battle quickly to avoid any more trouble. "This day!"
"What about her nickname?"
"It's better to use her real name, Yingchun. Firstly, this name is a good match for Spring of the South. Secondly, she is one of the twelve golden hairpins. This name is quite famous in Jiangnan City. It would be a pity if we don't make good use of it.”
Twelve golden hairpins? He didn't expect her to have such a powerful background!
"If there's nothing else, you can leave!" The rouge smell on her body made it difficult for him to breathe.
"Yes."
Granny Bao passed by Wu Yong as she retreated and did not forget to throw him a flirtatious look.
Wu Yong turned a blind eye to her flirtatious eyes. Although he was still expressionless, in fact, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and all the hair on his body stood up.
How terrifying!
"Wu Yong, Granny Bao seems to be interested in you. Do you want to sit on the golden chair? If you want, I can make decisions for you.”Shangguan Lin teased.
"Thank you for your good intentions.”He was not interested in her at all.
There were so many women in the world. He did not have to suffer to accept an old lady like her.
"Is she that terrifying?" Shangguan Lin felt that Wu Yong's reaction was too direct.
"Since I don't think Granny Bao is scary, why not consider taking her under my wing and pampering her?”Wu Yong turned around and defeated Shangguan Lin.
Shangguan Lin was slightly stunned, not expecting Wu Yong to joke with him like this. When he understood, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Wu Yong might seem useless, but he was still useful.
Rather than having Granny Bao as a brothel keeper, she might as well take Peng Yingchun in. In terms of age, appearance, temperament, and figure, Granny Bao was inferior to her in every aspect.
Go! Why did he think of her?
Although Peng Yingchun was as beautiful as a fairy, he had never thought of taking her in as his own. After all, she looked like a fairy, but she was actually a demon inside.
He did not want to have anything to do with her at all!
The full moon on the 15th day of the lunar month rose from the east. Jiangnan was decorated with lanterns and streamers in spring. The girls painted their eyebrows and put on rouge, waiting for the lanterns to light up and the guests to come.
Peng Yingchun's mood was in turmoil. She took a deep breath and prepared to carry out her plan.
One, two, three. She counted in her heart.
" Ah! Ah!" She screamed with all her might.
Just as she had expected, the door suddenly opened and many people rushed in.
" Ah!" In order to make it look real, she screamed even harder.
Granny Bao, who was receiving the guests in front, received the news of Peng Yingchun's abnormality and rushed over.
Peng Yingchun was the highlight of the night. If anything happened to her, it would be bad.
"My good Miss Yingchun, what's wrong with you?”she asked in a fake tone.
"Granny Bao!" Peng Yingchun squeezed out a few drops of tears and rushed into her arms.
"Don't cry first. Tell me what's wrong with you!”
" My face…Ah!" She cried even harder.
When Granny Bao heard that there was something wrong with her face, she also became anxious.
The most important thing for a woman was her face. Men also looked at women based on their appearance. If anything happened to her face, she would suffer a huge loss.
She pushed Peng Yingchun away slightly and held her face to look at it carefully.
Heavens! Her face…
Granny Bao was so frightened that she took three steps back.
"When I was about to put on makeup, I suddenly realized that my face was red for no reason. I couldn't even cover it up. Granny Bao, what should I do? Will my face be ruined?" She deliberately sobbed sadly.
This was her masterpiece. She applied makeup on her face and then wiped it off. After repeating it many times, her face became so red.
She tried to wipe it off with a handkerchief, but it didn't come off. After confirming that there was an unusually glaring redness on her face, she stopped in satisfaction and put on an act.
"Granny Bao, my face…"
"Hurry up and call the doctor!" Granny Bao ordered anxiously.
With her face in such a state, it seemed that the bidding for tonight would have to be suspended. Granny Bao was distressed about how to explain to Shangguan Lin.
If the doctor came, her trick would be exposed, and she would be in trouble!
What should he do? Peng Yingchun was thinking of a way to break free.
Before she could come up with a solution, the old doctor had already been dragged in by someone.
Oh no! Everything was over now! Peng Yingchun had already lost all hope.
The old doctor took Peng Yingchun's pulse and supported her forehead as he looked at the symptoms on her face.
Peng Yingchun had an innocent look on her face as she waited for the doctor to expose the truth.
However, she did not know if the doctor's medical skills were too " brilliant " or if he was old and blind, but he actually said that her face was stained with something dirty, which was why it was red. If she did not treat it quickly, it would even fester.
Hah! She was really lucky to have met a quack.
"Doctor, how can I save my face?”She continued to act along with his words.
"That's simple. You just need to take a few pieces of poison cleansing medicine.”
"Doctor, quickly prescribe medicine and see if you can cure her face in the shortest time possible. Don't let her face be ruined.”
Granny Bao had been wondering if Peng Yingchun had deliberately made her face look like this to avoid tonight's bid for her virginity, but after hearing the doctor's words, she believed it and no longer doubted her.
"Of course! Send someone to my medicine shop to get the medicine later.”
"Xiao Li, follow the doctor to get the medicine.”
After arranging everything, Granny Bao looked at Peng Yingchun's face again and could only shake her head and sigh.
"Have a good rest!" Her face was already like this. She couldn't be so heartless as to push her onto the stage!
"Thank you, Granny Bao!"
Granny Bao shook her head and led everyone out.
Seeing that everyone had left, Peng Yingchun immediately closed the door and covered her mouth in joy, afraid that her happy laughter would spread.
Although Granny Bao was knowledgeable and scheming, she was still slightly better.
Although the older the ginger, the spicier it was, there were still times when one could not underestimate the little chili!
She came up with many fake disfigurement plans and ruined many of the incense nights arranged by Bao Momo, so Peng Yingchun lived in the brothel without worry.
Tonight, she used the same trick again, and the room was filled with people as usual.
There was always something wrong with her face. When she counted more this time, Granny Bao began to suspect.
"Granny Bao, what should I do?" Peng Yingchun still pretended to be pitiful.
"You're asking me what to do. I want to ask you what I should do!”Granny Bao was so angry that she wanted to curse.
"I don't care! You must appear in the Fragrance Competition tonight. I want to sell you out today!”
She had been a brothel madame for so long, but she had never seen a girl as difficult to deal with as her.
" But my face..." Peng Yingchun didn't expect Granny Bao to be so unfriendly this time.
If a man saw her face, he would not be interested no matter how much he wanted to. He might even lose his appetite!
"You cover your face with a handkerchief when you come out and put out the candles when you're about to do business with the guests, so he can't see your face in the dark.”
At this point, she could only do this.
Hearing Granny Bao's decision, Peng Yingchun was a little stunned.
How could this be? Why was it completely different from what she had imagined?
"That's not good!" Peng Yingchun wanted to persuade Granny Bao to change her decision.
"Let's do it this way. There's no room for discussion!" There was no room for negotiation.
Shangguan Lin had gone to Suzhou a few days ago to prepare for the opening of the 11th Spring Brothel. She had to sell Peng Yingchun before he came back, otherwise he would blame her for not doing her job well.
Oh no, he had kicked a big iron plate this time!
She probably wouldn't be able to escape tonight…
Looking at the men below the stage who were drooling non-stop, Peng Yingchun felt like a little red riding hood being coveted by a big bad wolf.
She helplessly faced what was about to happen.
"Gentlemen, tonight is Miss Yingchun's night of incense competition. Let's follow the old rules. Whoever offers the highest price, Yingchun will be his tonight.”Granny Bao put on her professional smile.
She pulled Peng Yingchun closer so that the man below could see her.
"Eh?"
When everyone saw Peng Yingchun with her face half-covered, they were all extremely surprised.
"Why is she covering her face? This is different from before!"
"Granny Bao, what the hell are you doing?”
"Take off your handkerchief and show your face!”
The man below couldn't see the beauty's beauty, and his voice suddenly sounded uneven.
Seeing that she was about to lose control of the situation, Granny Bao hurriedly explained,
"Gentlemen, our Miss Yingchun is one of the twelve golden hairpins selected by the Jia family's Grand View Garden. Of course, her beauty is nothing to worry about. How can anyone casually meet such a heavenly beauty? That's why I arranged for her to appear with her face covered, so that only those who can afford silver taels will have the fate to admire her beauty.”
Peng Yingchun looked coldly at Granny Bao, who was trying to comfort the group of perverts.
" Twelve golden hairpins?!"
"Shouldn't they be in the Jia residence? How did you end up in a brothel?"
"Could it be a lie?"
Although they still had doubts in their hearts, they would rather kill a hundred wrongly than let one of them go. They still generously bid loudly.
"Twenty taels!"
"One of the twelve golden hairpins is only worth twenty taels?”Granny Bao clearly did not accept such a price.
"I bid five hundred taels!"
"One thousand taels!"
Now, it was not just the temptation of a beauty, but also the face of a rich family. If he lost the bid, it would be ugly.
The price continued to rise amidst the crowd's shouts, and Peng Yingchun's value rose as well.
It was not until someone called out five thousand taels that Peng Yingchun suddenly revealed a sinister smile and took off the handkerchief covering her face while the scene was lively.
When the men who were drooling over Peng Yingchun's beauty saw her unique face, they were all stunned. The entire place was silent.
Not only did her face turn red, but her bloody mouth was even more intimidating. Even if they were not picky, it would be difficult for them to swallow such a woman.
Motherf * cker! How dare she say that she was one of the twelve beauties!
The man who was about to raise his hand and shout out 10,000 taels quickly covered his mouth, glad that he didn't shout out. The old man who had just shouted out five thousand taels had already slipped away while everyone was stunned.
Spending five thousand taels to buy an ugly woman's first night, this price was too high.
"Ghost!"
After a series of shouts, the cowards below the stage immediately scattered.
"Gentlemen, don't be in a hurry to leave. This isn't Yingchun's true appearance. She's really very beautiful!”Granny Bao didn't expect Peng Yingchun to do this and was anxious to explain.
Seeing was proof! What they saw was clearly an extremely ugly and saltless woman. How could they believe what Granny Bao said? Even if she was really beautiful, they really didn't want to spend money to buy a night of horror.
Not long after, the originally crowded hall was empty. This was the worst day since Spring Brook opened its shop.
"Peng Yingchun!" Granny Bao was so angry that she wanted to peel her skin off.
She dared to mess with her like this. Let's see how she will teach her a lesson!
"Are you all dead? Hurry up and capture her!" Granny Bao turned the cannon fire on the burly men who were standing at the side.
Hearing Granny Bao's order, they immediately swarmed forward and surrounded Peng Yingchun.
"What are you doing?" It was rare for Shangguan Lin to appear in front of everyone.
He had wanted to sneak into the door and wait for Granny Bao in the study room, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw a group of men running out in panic, as if there was a beast chasing them.
"Young Master Shangguan, it's nothing. It's just that Peng Yingchun is causing trouble.”Afraid that Shangguan Lin would blame her for her incompetence, Granny Bao wanted to hide this matter from him and planned to deal with Peng Yingchun herself.
When he entered the hall and saw Peng Yingchun's frighteningly ugly face, coupled with the fact that she was surrounded, he could guess what had happened.
As long as she was around, there would be no peace.
"Peng Yingchun, it's you again!" specific
