Zhang Qi leaned over and whispered something in Lin Qianqian's ear.

"no!"

Lin Qianqian refused without thinking.

Zhang Qi smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? You and Gu Huai have done everything. Don't you know how to please a man?"

"You choose a method."

"Either up or down."

Lin Qianqian was extremely resistant.

She didn't like being forced, nor did she want to sell her body, but now the situation was the other way around.

She has to sell her beauty in order to gain a little security in this world.

She just wants to live.

“I don’t want to choose either.”

Lin Qianqian looked at Zhang Qi firmly and said in a serious tone, "What I just said was the truth. I definitely did not lie."

"I don't need to prove it to you."

"If you want me to prove myself, then you have to prove yourself first."

Zhang Qi stared at Lin Qianqian in a daze and realized that she had set a topic trap for him.

Before, he was simply attracted by her beauty, figure and voice. Now it seems that she is not a brainless beauty with big breasts.

After coming out of the Jinwuwei Prison, Lin Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief.

She quickly quickened her pace and walked through the bustling streets back to the mansion, but she didn't expect to meet Nanny Hong as soon as she entered the door.

Madam Hong said to Lin Qianqian kindly, "Auntie Lin, Madam wants you to come over. She has something to tell you."

Lin Qianqian bowed to Madam Hong and said respectfully, "Yes."

"I don't know what the lady wants to see me about."

Matron Hong shook her head. "I don't know. Aunt Lin, you will know when you go there."

"But, ma'am, she is not in a good mood."

The words "I'm in a bad mood" hinted that there was no good reason for Yu to look for her.

Lin Qianqian was grateful to Madam Hong for being so kind to her, "Thank you, Madam."

She pondered for a moment, took out a tael of silver from her pocket and stuffed it into Mammy Hong's hand, then squeezed her hand and said, "Mammy Hong, please keep me informed in the future."

"I don't have anyone to rely on in the Marquis' Mansion. Thank you for your constant advice, Madam."

Madam Hong sighed and looked at the shiny silver in her hand. "The former Madam Lin didn't understand the ways of the world. But now she understands."

"Hey, there's nothing else I can do to help you."

"I just think you are a pitiful person."

"Hey, who said being favored is a good thing? I don't think it's necessarily a good thing. The girls who can enter the brothel were sold there by their families when they were young, and most of them have no choice."

Nanny Hong stopped talking and warned Lin Qianqian earnestly, "Madam, she is not a stupid person. She knows that you are being nice to her."

"If you want to live a good life in the Marquis' Mansion in the future, you can't just rely on the prince alone."

"Thank you, Ma'am. I remember everything you taught me." Lin Qianqian kneeled down and bowed solemnly to Ma'am Hong.

"go quickly!"

"Yes."

Lin Qianqian was thinking about what Nanny Hong had just said all the way.

This was the first time that a servant in the Marquis's Mansion spoke such intimate words to him.

It’s not a lie to say that I wasn’t touched.

But Nanny Hong is someone close to Yu, and she is too nice to me.

After entering the house, Lin Qianqian raised her hand, opened a bead curtain, came in front of Yu, and knelt down to bow to her.

"lady."

Yu raised her eyelids and looked at Lin Qianqian's every move. She placed one hand on the table and clenched it into a loose fist.

"Mrs. Lin, you are really wild."

"Has Huai'er spoiled you too much? You go out of the house every few days to show up in public. You are now a concubine in the Marquis's mansion, how can you go out as you please?"

"Is it not possible to go out?" Lin Qianqian asked.

Yu laughed angrily, "Of course not. You are now a concubine, not a singing girl dancing in a brothel. Your words and deeds represent part of the Marquis's Mansion. If the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion is damaged because of you, can you bear the responsibility?"

Lin Qianqian's long and thin eyebrows drooped along with her eyelids.

She said in the calmest tone, "But, Madam, the reputation of the Marquisate has been damaged because of me."

Yu was shocked.

Lin Qianqian continued to express her own views, "Not only the Marquis' Mansion, but the reputation of the Crown Prince is also very bad."

"You still know that you have a bad reputation!" Yu shouted angrily.

"Huai'er is a good man, but you have corrupted him. How can you be so selfish, occupying Huai'er every night and not letting him sleep with Jiayao?"

"It's unfair!" Lin Qianqian wailed and pretended to raise her sleeves to wipe the tears from her eyes.

"I have never monopolized the Crown Prince, nor have I prevented him from consummating his marriage with his wife."

"Madam, you think too highly of me. How can a weak woman like me influence the thoughts of a man like the prince?"

Yu said again: "Your belly is really disappointing. It has been so long and there is still no movement. Do you know that concubines who cannot give birth to children will be sold?"

"We Huai'er brought you back to continue the family line, not to let you spend your days in leisure in the mansion. Thanks to Huai'er, you have lived a comfortable life in the mansion."

Lin Qianqian lowered her head, "Madam is right."

Infertility refers to the fact that women in ancient times did not have the ability to bear children. If they accidentally injured their uterus, their bodies would be unable to conceive.

Lin Qianqian didn't agree with what Yu said.

She said this completely on her own side, purely for her own benefit.

No matter how much she scolded her, it just went in one ear and out the other.

Most of the responses are perfunctory, like "It's a lesson learned" or "I know I was wrong".

"I heard people say that you were arguing with a man on the street today. Was that man your lover?" Yu frowned and looked at Lin Qianqian as if she wanted to take out a stick to beat her up and teach her a lesson.

Lin Qianqian's heart skipped a beat. "Madam, how did you know this?"

She just came back from outside.

Yu sneered, "How could I not know? Someone saw it, it was a maid in the mansion."

"The maid told me that you and a man had a fight in the street and were taken to the Jinwu Guard Prison. You really brought shame to our mansion!"

"Mrs. Lin, you are really capable. You became my son's concubine, and you also had an affair with another man. You are so fickle! You are morally corrupt!"

"Madam," Lin Qianqian raised her eyes that were covered with injustice, a layer of fine mist appeared in her eyes, and she looked at Yu with pity, "There is absolutely no such thing. I have never seen the two men who entangled me before, and we have never met each other. He said he was my lover, which is pure slander."

"slander?"

Yu looked at Lin Qianqian and said, "How did I slander you? Others wouldn't do such a thing, but I think you might be able to do it. Your reputation has long been known throughout the capital."
