C199 (2/2)
Jin Xiaolou didn't want to beat around the bush and went straight to the point: ”Fu Niang, the reason why I spent so much money to purchase your advertisement was only so that I could meet and talk to you once.”
Fu Niang's face reddened instead. ”Boss Jin, don't be like this. Although I'm a lady from a brothel, I have my rules and won't accompany guests …”
”You misunderstand …” Jin Xiaolou was embarrassed, what was going on with this Gui Qi! I wanted to say that you are very much like a close friend of mine! ”
”Dearest … ”Friend?” Fu Niang took a step forward, and stared at Jin Xiaolou without blinking.
Or not very similar, but just. You are my close friend, but because of an accident, you lost your past memories, forgot your past events, and were accepted into the Tassel Pavilion. ” Jin Xiaoluo's heart was pounding, and his palms were sweating. ”Your surname is Huang, and your name is Gui Qi. You're not some concubine from a brothel, but a decent girl. You're the closest person to me.
”So now I want to ask you, is what you said in the Liusu Pavilion true?” Jin Xiaolou continued to speak, ”Did you really grow up in the capital? If anyone teaches you to say these things, you can tell me. You don't have to be afraid of anything, I can take care of the Liusu Pavilion for you. It doesn't matter if you don't remember the past, I will help you remember everything! ”
When he said the two words ”everything”, the miserable state in which Zhou Shuli died suddenly surfaced in front of his eyes … Everything is too cruel for Gui Qi...
”Perhaps …” I don't need everything else, as long as you remember yourself, me, your most beloved Lin'er, it will be enough. ”
Fu Niang's cheeks had lost their colour and turned slightly white. After a long while, she finally shook her head with difficulty: ”It's not true.”
As soon as he said that, his eyes glistened with tears, ”None of them are real... ”But they forced me to say that, they said that only native-born girls in the capital are liked the most, and those rural women in the capital will never be able to raise their heads or eat their fill …”
”Lou!” Fu Niang rushed forward two steps again, and tightly held onto Jin Xiaolou's hands. ”If you really know me, then you can help me out. I don't want to return to the Liusu Pavilion, I don't want to return to the Liusu Pavilion anymore!”
The Fu Niang stood up again and pulled up her wet sleeves.
Her arm was shining like jade and her wrist was covered in snow and frost. However, her clothes were on top of her arm. The first purplish bruise appeared on her arm, followed by the second, and the third … Countless wounds extended from his arm all the way to his back, causing Jin Xiaolou's chest to twitch in pain, as though there was a blade scraping his heart.
”I've forgotten the past and can't remember anything, so they beat me up. They beat me up like crazy and told me to learn the rules and do what they say. If I make the slightest mistake, I'll be beaten up …” The Fu Niang choked with sobs, ”I had no choice but to listen to them and learn how to please them, how to lie without changing my expression …”
”They... ”Who are they!?” Jin Xiaolou threw herself forward and tightly hugged Gui Zhi, gently brushing against her mottled body. Jin Xiaolou knew that she had stopped hurting for a long time, but now all of the wounds had been cut into Jin Xiaolou's body, ”Who exactly are they?!”
Fu Niang's chin was placed lightly on Jin Xiaolou's shoulder. There were still some tears on her face, but she had a numb and expressionless face, the expression in her eyes had already become light and cold, and the moment she said those words, her tone was just as pitiful as before. With such an expression, even if Jin Xiaolou saw it with his own eyes, she would not have believed it.
”I don't know who they are. As soon as I entered the capital, I was caught by them and locked in a room without daylight. I taught them the rules, learned the rules, and then sold them into Liusu Pavilion.”
As they spoke, Fu Niang's body lightly trembled as if she was thinking of all this. She was extremely afraid.
”They said that as long as we pass through their hands, they will be their men for the rest of their lives. Don't even think about escaping. If you want to live, you will have to listen obediently.” The Fu Niang slightly slowed down, and then continued, ”Even if I enter Liusu Pavilion, I wouldn't dare to be the slightest bit careless. Whatever boss says, I will follow and do it.”
”Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!” Jin Xiaolou was busy, ”It won't happen again, it won't happen again!”
”I will help you get out of the Liusu Pavilion, don't worry, from today onwards, no one will bully you again!”
”Alright, Lou.” Fu Niang lowered her eyes, the corners of her mouth raised, she raised his arm and wrapped it around Jin Xiaolou's waist.
