When she looked at Lin Shuning again, her expression had returned to her usual nonchalant look. She leaned against the redwood fence, her eyes full of amorous feelings: "Fifty taels of gold, not a cent less. After you buy me back, I'll be yours, and you can do whatever you want with me."

The men and women who had been turning their heads frequently because of Lin Shuning stopped immediately when they heard that he wanted to redeem the courtesan Haitang, and soon surrounded the third floor.

"Oh my god, fifty taels of gold, that's enough for me to marry ten concubines. Miss Haitang is beautiful, but after all, she's just someone to accompany you in bed and laughter. How can she be worth so much money?"

"Do you have taste? This is Haitang. One night is worth a thousand gold. I think you are a typical sour grape. Do you know that spending a night alone with her is the ultimate dream of many people here?"

"That's right. If I had money, the first thing I would do would be to redeem Miss Haitang and let her belong to me alone. I can't imagine how honored I would be! But... this young man looks so young, does he really have fifty taels of gold?"

"Oh! Is there any need to think about it? He must be just talking big. I've seen this kind of thing many times. He said he would redeem himself, but when the money and money were paid, he ran away with nothing in his pocket. I think he is one of them!"

"..."

The men spoke one after another, and every word was full of doubt and denial.

The female relatives gathered around Haitang, looking at her with surprise, shock, joy... and thousands of words to express all the thoughts that they wanted to say but couldn't.

Such an indescribably complex look struck Haitang's heart like a heavy hammer. Her eyes were crystal clear and she held their hands tightly.

The young man in black clothes, whom she was looking at, still smiled faintly and showed no emotion. He flicked his fingers and took out the silver note that had been prepared long ago from the space: "This is the silver note for fifty taels of gold. Please check it."

She had already prepared a hundred taels of gold for this purpose, but Yu Niang asked for fifty taels, which was beyond her expectation.

Yu Niang was stunned for a moment, and her eyes gradually darkened.

She waved her hand, and immediately a girl came out from the corner, walked through the crowd and presented her with a brocade box with both hands.

Yu Niang took it and took out a paper contract from the box: "Take it, this is Haitang's contract of sale. From now on, she is yours. I won't say anything else. Haitang, pack up and go with Master Lin."

She said no more, looked at Haitang meaningfully, nodded slightly to Lin Shuning, and turned to leave. The crowd around her automatically made way for her.

"Haitang, are you really leaving?"

A surprised female voice was like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples and huge waves.

"He, he actually took out fifty taels of gold, how is this possible! Whose family is he from? How come I have never seen him before? How can a young man have so much money!"

"No, I'm going to check right now. Where does this person come from? Why would his family allow him to carry fifty taels of gold in silver notes with him, and spend it in this brothel!"

"Pink eye, maybe this is just someone's pocket money, you have no idea!"

"..."

There was an uproar.

The girls around Haitang hugged her and said to Lin Shuning like a protective mother: "Mr. Lin, you must treat our Haitang well, otherwise, we will not let you go even if we risk our lives..."

"What nonsense are you talking about," one of the girls said coquettishly, "Master Lin spent so much money to redeem Haitang, how could he possibly treat her badly? In the future, Haitang will definitely be the happiest among us."

Many girls couldn't bear the pain of parting and cried secretly.

Haitang also felt a lump in her throat and her throat felt tight.

She never thought that she would be the first person to leave Zuishenglou.

Although for them, leaving or not makes no essential difference.

She wiped away the tears from the other girls' eyes and said with a smile, "You will definitely be happier than me. We will all be happy."

Lin Shuning drooped her eyelashes. The moment before her eyes made her heart feel heavy and sad.

She looked at Haitang and said softly, "Pack up first. I'll wait for you outside. We'll leave in a carriage later."

She wanted to tell Ye Mu and ask Jiang Yu to prepare a place for Haitang to go so that she could temporarily avoid the eyes of the world and give Haitang a new identity.

In the future, if Haitang wants to work in the clinic, she will have to disguise herself. Otherwise, with her appearance and reputation, she will be recognized quickly. It will be troublesome if Wang finds out.

Haitang seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and nodded in agreement.

After waiting outside Zuisheng Building for about half an hour, a carriage slowly stopped in front of Lin Shuning, and Ye Mu jumped down from it: "Master."

Lin Shuning had a calm expression that I understood, but she was actually feeling very happy inside. It was really good to feel like someone was looking after her.

The wheels rolled and gradually drove away from the long street of the slave market.

Haitang looked at Lin Shuning, her eyes slightly red: "Miss San, where are we going?"

"Go for a walk outside the capital first, then change a carriage and go back to the clinic. There are accommodations in the clinic, so you can stay there temporarily, okay?" Lin Shuning said, and then added: "You also need to change your name."

"I'll be content as long as I have a place to stay. As for the name, let's call her Liu Yue, like a weeping willow and a bright moon, both of which I like." Haitang said with a smile.

"It's a good name," Lin Shuning nodded, his eyes sparkling, "What are your plans now? If you are willing to work in the clinic, it will be a blessing for my friend. If you are not willing, I will give you a sum of money, and you can go wherever you want..."

"I do," Haitang interrupted her with a firm look in her eyes, "Miss San, do you still remember the 'love' we talked about in Zuishenglou? I have always been interested in medicine, and I have thought that one day I could save lives like Miss San, and now that I have this opportunity, I will definitely seize it."

"Okay!" Lin Shuning smiled. While they were talking, they arrived at the destination arranged by Jiang Yu. After changing to a carriage, they headed towards Liufang Hall.

Zhang Bo had already received a notice from King Rui, so he opened the small door in the backyard of Liufang Hall and passed through.

"Uncle Zhang, this is Miss Liu Yue. She will work with you in the clinic in the future. You should take care of her. Miss Liu Yue is quite knowledgeable about medicine, so I'm sure she will be able to get the hang of it quickly." Lin Shuning said.

Haitang covered her face with a veil and nodded slightly.

Zhang Bo smiled kindly and benevolently: "It is a good thing to have one more person to help. Don't worry, Miss Lin. There is an independent garden in the north wing. I have already cleaned it up. Miss Liu Yue will live there in the future."

Lin Shuning nodded, gave a few more instructions, helped Haitang clean up the room, and then, under Jiang Yu's arrangement, changed a carriage and returned to the Shangshu Mansion.

But as soon as she approached her own villa, she heard Lian'er's scream: "Fourth Miss, what are you doing? This is my young lady's warehouse, you can't just come in!"
