What the two people who were fighting fiercely here didn't know was that the brothel owner and those patrons were almost turning Lingqing City upside down in order to find Song Yunli, and in the end they even ended up at the county government office.

As a result, the first bizarre thing in the history of Lingqing City happened. All the officials and scattered soldiers were mobilized to find a prostitute.

When it was dawn, the brothel owner and her thugs crawled back to Linxian Pavilion like tired dogs.

"It's over, it's over...my cash cow..." The brothel owner's eyes were bloodshot. Not only did she lose the golden cash cow, but she also had to pay compensation to those patrons who came to listen to the piano last night. This time she suffered a huge loss, that damn robber!

"Sister Hua, can we go back and rest for a while? We have been searching all night." The leading thug asked listlessly.

"Go...go...go and go to sleep...hug whoever you want...I won't charge you any money today..."

The madam clutched the handkerchief in her hand and replied in a distraught manner, "Why hasn't Old Xu come back yet? She felt so upset, her brain felt like it was going to explode."

Hearing her say this, several tall thugs happily ran upstairs.

In the room, "Old Xu... please come back soon... I don't even have anyone to talk to..." The brothel owner was staggering around on the ground with a wine jar in her arms. The bun on her head had already been messed up by her, and her gold hairpins and jade ornaments fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

She already has a lot of gold, silver and treasures. She can control the fate of all the girls in the pavilion. Her wealth can buy most of Lingqing City. Why is she still unhappy? Why does she still drink?

In a daze, she seemed to see Doctor Xu who looked much younger.

Kingfishers were lowering on willow branches, dragonflies were skimming the surface of the lake, and a small boat was being rowed slowly and aimlessly on the rippling green water. On the boat were a man and a woman, about sixteen or seventeen years old. The woman was lazily leaning her head back to count the golden beans in her handkerchief, while the man was sweating profusely as he fiddled with the oar in his hand.

"Little Xuzi, why is dad so stingy this time? I finally celebrated my birthday and he gave me sixteen gold beans. There are sixteen whether you count them forwards or backwards. They were all gone in a moment. It's so boring!" After she finished speaking, the woman frowned and grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, looking very unhappy.

The man called Xiao Xuzi didn't say anything, but continued to fiddle with the oar in his hand with anxiety in his eyes. How could he be so stupid that he couldn't even row such a small boat? Damn it!

"Xiao Xuzi, let's go home. It's too boring here." The woman turned over lazily, not forgetting to hug the golden beans in her silk handkerchief tightly.

"Miss, you absolutely cannot go back to the Duanmu family. I'm afraid something has happened. The master asked me to take you as far away as possible."

Hearing what he said, the woman jumped up with a plop and almost fell into the lake. Fortunately, he supported her in time.

Under her questioning, he slowly told her the truth. It turned out that the head of the Duanmu family, that is, her father, had embezzled countless people's money during his more than ten years as an official. Last month, the court sent an imperial envoy to inspect the country. Unfortunately, the Duanmu family was found out right away because they were too greedy.

The head of the Duanmu family knew that he could not escape the punishment of the law, so he ordered him to take her away and escape.

"No, I want to go back. I am the daughter of the Duanmu family. How can I run away when things get tough? I want to face it with my father." The woman threw all the golden beans onto the boat, snatched the oars from the man's hand and rowed desperately. No matter how the man tried to persuade and stop her, it was useless. In the end, she returned to the Duanmu family stubbornly.
