As expected by everyone, she became the wife of the Marquis after being married off

"But...but she didn't behave at all strangely, and ma'am, you just..." Fanfan's eyes widened when he heard it.

"Ah."

Shen Lanyue smiled helplessly. "The madams here have seen countless women, and their eyes are very sharp."

After a general association, I thought: Yes.

But before the two of them could say a few words, there was a knock on the door.

"Just sit still for a while. The snacks here are pretty good. Try them."

Fanfan nodded in confusion and sat on one of the stools.

"Come in."

Following Shen Lanyue's voice, a stunning, slender and graceful woman pushed the door open. She did not have the fawning attitude like those women in the lobby. Instead, she was holding the pipa in her hands, giving people the impression that she was more like a cold beauty.

"Fu Qu pays his respects to the two gentlemen." The beautiful figure bowed slightly, and a few strands of hair fell down.

Shen Lanyue looked at her with admiration and said with a smile, "Get up."

Fuqu stood up, looked at Shen Lanyue with a half-smile in his eyes and said, "Sir, I will play a song for you first."

Shen Lanyue wielded the fan casually, and he really looked like a playboy.

Fuqu walked to the back screen with a smile on her face, and as she sat down, her figure was outlined more elusive. As the sound of the piano began, the ambiguity in the room drifted away.

Shen Lanyue sat casually on the chair, picked up the dried apricots on the table and put them into her mouth.

The room, which has a sweet taste mixed with sourness and is somewhat pretentious, indeed reveals everywhere that the owner of this brothel is a man who is very good at doing business.

As the last note of the piano fell, Shen Lanyue applauded generously, and Fanfan also followed suit, although she did not understand.

"As expected, the name suits the person. The girl's pipa language is superbly good."

Fu Qu put down the pipa in her hand, walked out, and sat next to Shen Lanyue with a moving smile.

"I am just a little prostitute in a brothel. How could I deserve such praise from you, sir? I think you must have heard of at least tens of thousands of people."

Shen Lanyue just smiled: "Quyi is not her origin, and besides, it is not her destiny to be in such a helpless place."

Fu Qu was slightly stunned. She hooked her hanging hair behind her ears, poured a cup of tea with her slender hands and handed it to Shen Lanyue.

"Whatever you want to ask, Fu Qu will tell you everything he knows."

Shen Lanyue smiled, raised her eyebrows and took the teacup from her hand.

"The girl is indeed a smart person."

"You are the smart one. I want to have a good experience, so I naturally want to rely on you."

The two smiled at each other, Shen Lanyue clinked his cup with hers and drank the water in his hand.

"Miss Fuqu, have you seen any strangers or outsiders recently?"

Fu Qu raised the corners of her mouth, and even her eyes showed a hint of charm as she said, "Sir, I have met many strangers."

Shen Lanyue didn't mind her teasing at all, and asked calmly: "What about that poor scholar?" She moved slightly closer to Fuqu, making the questioning in her eyes more obvious: "To be more specific, it's a scholar who doesn't want a girl to stay overnight, but sleeps in the cheapest room in the brothel."

Fu Qu's smile gradually stiffened as Shen Lanyue spoke, and he fell silent with a complicated expression.

"It seems that there is indeed such a person. Miss Fuqu has seen him before."

"I... I did see him." Fu Qu was a little unnatural: "But that person left a long time ago."

"That person may have escaped death." Shen Lanyue withdrew his body from her and leaned back slightly in the chair.

"What I'm asking is whether the girl has found any of his belongings."

Fu Qu had long lost the cold and natural look she had at the beginning, and now had a silent look on her face. Her charming eyes were as calm as water, without any tension or surprise.

"No, I've only met him a few times. He couldn't have seen me with the money he spent. I just saw him a few times in the building."

Shen Lanyue just looked at her with a smile, his eyes swept across her face, and words came out of his lips that made Fu Qu's face change drastically.

"I guess the things are definitely not with the girl, which makes me curious." Shen Lanyue propped up her forehead with a fan and said worriedly, "It seems to be with that man Yang Cheng outside."

Fu Qu was horrified: "Girl!"

Shen Lanyue laughed, but her eyes suddenly turned cold, and an aura that Fu Qu could not escape emanated from her body in an instant.

"It seems that Miss Fuqu has remembered where that thing is."

Seeing Fu Qu still hesitant, Shen Lanyue said, "You have already picked up that thing, and with your position in Qianlu Tower, it is obvious that you know how important the people on the list are. You and Yang Cheng are willing, but how could the madam let go of such a big cash cow like you? You saw the opportunity and wanted to use this list to find a way out for yourselves."

Fu Qu sneered after hearing what Shen Lanyue said.

"Since the girl already knows, and you also know my difficulties, why bother forcing me?" The loneliness and bitterness in Fu Qu's eyes were no longer hidden, but appeared in his eyes.

"But Miss Fuqu, have you ever thought about this? The people on this list can kill you at will. Do they really want you to live? The moment you hand over this list, you will die."

Fu Qu was stunned, and the blood in his body froze.

Shen Lanyue stood up and smiled helplessly.

She knew that Fu Qu was a smart woman. She just wanted to escape from this place so much that she was temporarily deceived by the huge benefits and forgot the danger behind it.

Or rather, deliberately ignore this point.

So there is some explanation as to why there was no Fu Qu by Yang Cheng's side in his previous life, and why he appeared by Meng Changce's side.

"I can help you, and even help your lover find a good place."

Fuqu stood up immediately, "You are telling the truth!"

Shen Lanyue's tone was calm but full of affirmation: "Don't you want to escape from this place? Why don't we make a further deal first? I will have someone redeem you tomorrow."

"How about we discuss our deal then."

Fu Qu pondered for a while, then looked up at Shen Lanyue: "It's a deal!"

-------------------------------------

Fanfan looked at Shen Lanyue sitting in the carriage and asked in confusion: "Madam, do we really want to redeem Fu Qu? What if she escapes at that time?"

"She won't, and I told you she's not a stupid girl. If I can redeem her, I can certainly send her back."

"But why do we want to save her? What's the use even if we really have that list?" Fanfan didn't really understand why his wife went to so much trouble.

Shen Lanyue just smiled.

Naturally, it was because she wanted to be able to use Yang Cheng for her own benefit, and she also wanted to test Meng Changce.
