Qi Wuyou held out Erkang's hand, "No, we should go back to the academy now."

A weak voice sounded, "Wait a minute, find a doctor, I think my butt is cracked."

Xiao Ningxue raised her hands tremblingly. She was already feeling dizzy, and the fall made her even more dizzy.

There was no other choice but to continue waiting in the clinic.

Liu He came quickly and took away the people who were smoking in a group in no time.

Before leaving, those people were still sleeping soundly.

In the palace, Xuan Yelan frowned as he looked at the secret letter in his hand.

Lu Yu didn't understand what was going on. He took the secret letter and looked at it, and he also looked worried.

"We can't possibly overturn the entire street, can we?"

Lu Yu swallowed his saliva, finding it hard to imagine how much work that would be.

Xuan Yelan rolled his eyes, "Didn't you see the last sentence?"

Lu Yu looked at it again and saw a line of small words at the end, "The Queen said that she can take over the shop first."

Xuan Yelan took the secret letter and put it in the box specially for letters on the bookshelf.

"Since this is a business place, it should be done by businessmen."

"Isn't Yu Shu's Treasure Pavilion going to open a branch?"

Lu Yu clapped his hands, "Li Han is back?"

Yes, Yu Shu’s Treasure Pavilion has branches all over the country in Qi State, and this time he wants to open a branch in the imperial capital.

As for the person to manage the branch, Li Han volunteered to take on the job.

As for the location, it was also a coincidence, right at the corner of that street.

It’s only two or three shops away from the rouge shop.

"Have them approve the formalities as soon as possible. Everyone must let Treasure Pavilion open as soon as possible."

With Xuan Yelan's order, everything went fast. In just two days, the branch of Zhenbao Pavilion was opened.

The crackling sound of firecrackers attracted passers-by.

A row of beautiful girls stood at the door, shouting in unison, "The new store is open, all goods are half price, don't miss it if you pass by, come in and take a look."

These girls were transferred from Wuzhou.

There is no way, ever since I knew that Yuhe's Zhihuanlou could be used as a brothel and there would be no such thing as forcing women of good families into prostitution.

More and more brothel girls are changing jobs, and more and more of them are willing to sell their bodies voluntarily.

Yuhe always believes in helping whoever she can, and as long as the person has good intentions, Yuhe will basically accept the help.

The result is that there are too many girls in the building, and most of them are prostitutes who only sell their skills but not their bodies. The money they earn is not enough to keep up with their spending.

If it weren't for the support from the restaurant and the pastry shop, everyone on the first floor would have starved.

If Yu He hadn't relied on her familiarity with Yu Shu to introduce a few people to work as female workers in Zhenbao Pavilion, she really couldn't afford to support this group of people.

Fortunately, Yuhe has a good eye and the girls she recruits are all kind-hearted.

Seeing that the building was in difficulty and there were few customers, some girls would spontaneously go to the restaurant to earn some money.

Some people who are good at handwork can take on some manual work at a tailor shop, and if they accumulate it, they can earn a considerable amount of money.

Yuhe often sighed, not knowing where the mistake had occurred. Zhihuanlou was becoming less and less like a brothel and more like an asylum.

Yu He thought that since it was already like this, why not ask the master to give her a name someday and just change her name.

Anyway, business is slow now, there is nothing we can do, it’s just that we don’t want to sell ourselves.

It just so happens that I don’t want to be a brothel owner anymore.

Yuhe is open-minded. In this world, she will help whenever she can. If women don’t help each other, they really can’t survive.

The girls in the building are also open-minded. Although life is a bit monotonous now, at least they can have enough food and good clothes.

They are all girls from poor families, otherwise they would not be sold to such a place.

"Sister Yuhe, Madam Qian is here." A childish voice sounded, interrupting Yuhe's thoughts.

Yu He turned around and saw a little girl with two buns, who looked about five or six years old, running in. She scolded, "Chun'er, didn't I tell you not to run around in the building anymore?"

Mrs. Qian was the wife of the newly appointed prefect.

The new prefect Qian was also a good official. His family of four had only been here for two months, but they had already become familiar with the people of the prefecture.

Especially Mrs. Qian, who somehow knew about Zhihuan Tower and would come to deliver some gifts every once in a while.

The little girl named Chun'er smiled embarrassedly, "Sister Yuhe, don't be angry. Chun'er knows. I won't do it again next time."

Yuhe rolled her eyes, "You said the same thing last time."

Chun Er caught a glimpse of a light green figure from the corner of her eye, and said to Yu He with a smile, "Okay, Sister Yu He, Madam Qian is here, Xia Xia and I are going out to play."

After saying that, he ran out. Yuhe ran to the door and reminded him, "Don't play too long. Come back before dinner."

"Got it." The voices of two little girls came gradually farther away.

Yuhe smiled, looked at Madam Qian, and said embarrassedly, "The child is naughty. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Madam Qian smiled and said, "What are you talking about, madam?"

Then he walked in by himself, saying as he walked, "You are the only one with a kind heart. Look at any brothel owner in Wuzhou who is the same as you."

Yuhe knew she was joking, "I can't just watch someone die without helping him."

Chun'er is the fourth daughter born to her parents. The first three were thrown into urine buckets and drowned as soon as they were born.

Chun'er has a scar on his head, which was caused by his father hitting him with a fire poker.

None of the other brothels would accept him, but Yu He accepted him out of pity.

Mrs. Qian shook her head. "Okay, I know it's not easy for you. It just so happens that I bought some fabrics a few days ago, but I don't like this color, so I'll give it to you."

Yu He looked at the three large boxes in the backyard and laughed, "Thank you."

Mrs. Qian waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, given our relationship, why do you need to thank me? If you really want to thank me, then give me two boxes of Chiffon House cakes."

Xuefangzhai is Zhong Qi’s pastry shop. The shop basically sells affordable pastries that are delicious and not expensive. It is now the most popular pastry shop in Wuzhou.

The things were delivered, and Mrs. Qian did not stay for long. "Okay, in that case, I will go back first."

Yuhe sent Madam Qian to the door, then went back to ask the girls to distribute the ingredients.

"Yingyue," Yuhe greeted.

"Hey," a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old came out in response.

"Go to Xuefangzhai and get two boxes of cakes to send to the prefectural government."

"Got it." Yingyue responded and went out.

"Oh, is it Mrs. Qian who brought something again?" Mr. and Mrs. Liu, who had gone out to buy things, came back.

The old couple are in their fifties. Old Liu broke his leg a year ago, and in the middle of winter, his son kicked them both out.

Chun'er picked up these two people and hired a doctor, but Old Liu's legs were still diseased and he walked with a limp.

Until the two of them had nowhere to go, Yu Hejiu kept the person.

Seeing this, Mr. and Mrs. Liu volunteered to cook for the girls in the building. They didn't ask for any money, just a meal and a place to sleep.

It was fine at the beginning. Liu Po’s cooking was delicious and the greedy little girls liked it very much.

Uncle Liu is skillful and does some carpentry work when he has nothing to do, which saves the building a lot of money.
