Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 37 The Case of the Sixteenth Aunt

The Zhou family is a well-known wealthy family in Jiangning. They have seven or eight mansions and farms in Jiangning alone, where they keep many girls redeemed from brothels.

The Xiao Shiliu he mentioned was his sixteenth concubine. Just because he took a second look at her by the Qinhuai River, he was immediately attracted to the ragged Xiao Shiliu who was standing at the door of the brothel to welcome guests. Seeing that she could not even afford thick clothes in the cold weather, Mr. Zhou donated hundreds of millions for her overnight and soon made her his sixteenth concubine.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, especially among wealthy families, who all have two children at home.

After all, the girls in brothels have received professional training, they are good-looking, speak sweetly, and have many tricks.

People like Shi Gengyuan are exceptions.

"Little Sixteen's name is Meng Haitang. Her previous stage name in Qinhuai was Haitang. I took her home because she danced well and was sensible and considerate... But my tigress is very strict, so I kept all these concubines outside." said Mr. Zhou.

Xie Chunyan raised his eyebrows: "Have you ever treated her harshly?"

"No, absolutely not..." Mr. Zhou spread his hands and said, "I spent a lot of money to redeem them. Why should I treat them harshly? Besides...even if I treat them harshly, how much silver can I save?"

This is true. A wealthy man like Mr. Zhou would not save money on food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Only a poor idiot like me would... Lu Zhan added silently.

As the three of them chatted, they soon arrived at the mansion where Meng Haitang lived, with its red gate, deep courtyard, red building and green willows.

Not only Meng Haitang lived in this mansion, but also Zhou Yuanwai's twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth and fourth concubines, all of whom were redeemed from different brothels.

Mr. Zhou felt that they had common topics, so he arranged them together and taught them from time to time.

The door had just opened, and Lu Zhan and Xie Chunyan had not yet dismounted their horses when a gust of fragrant wind blew in from inside.

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of whimpering came one after another.

"Master, help me!

"Meng Haitang is here to take our lives. We don't want to live here anymore!"

"... "

Three women make a drama, and four women gathered together are noisier than a flock of sparrows.

Mr. Zhou shouted, "What are you arguing about? I'm not dead yet. I've even invited someone from the Demon Suppression Division to come and guard me!"

This shout instantly calmed the group of whimpering women. They then looked at the two people sitting upright on the horses, and their eyes instantly lit up.

Of course, this glow is mainly aimed at Lu Zhan.

If a normal woman saw a strange man coming to her home, she would at most say a few words of greeting according to etiquette and would not dare to look at him for too long. Even if she had to come out to entertain him, she would be restrained and polite.

However, these concubines came from brothels, and even if they had become good women now, they were bolder than ordinary people. They surrounded him in an instant, chattering and begging Lu Zhan for protection.

If Mr. Zhou had not been there, he would have wanted to take action. Lu Zhan sat upright on his horse, looking at the women who were like spider spirits in the Pansi Cave, and felt as helpless as a child.

Xie Chunyan, who was ignored, said angrily, "Shut up! What are you arguing about? The wronged spirit has its own reasons for seeking revenge. If you haven't harmed her before, why would she come to you?"

Haha... I wonder who is the most powerful among these women with long hair and little knowledge... Xie Chunyan had a cold face.

The young ladies finally calmed down, realized their behavior was inappropriate, and stood behind Mr. Zhou.

Lu Zhan touched his nose and got off the horse somewhat awkwardly… Even when he turned over and raised his legs when getting off the horse, he felt that he was being taken advantage of by these women. It’s not good to be handsome. You will be noticed wherever you go. It’s hard to keep a low profile.

"Behave yourself, or we two masters will chop you to pieces!" Mr. Zhou warned unhappily.

The concubines then turned their eyes to Xie Chunyan and behaved themselves... This black-faced warrior looked ferocious and it was obvious at first glance that he was not a good person.

With Xie Chunyan in shock, the three of them walked all the way to the main hall of the house. Lu Zhan said, "Bring up the person who died last night."

Under normal circumstances, a dead servant like this would be left to his family if he had one, and would be buried outside if he didn't. But this time it was rather strange, so the servant's body was left at the back, and someone carried it up soon.

His face looked terrified, his tongue was sticking out, and his neck was soft and broken, with only a bit of flesh hanging on, which drooped down at the slightest movement.

This dead look frightened the concubines so much that even Mr. Zhou was a little scared.

Lu Zhan squatted down and felt the boy's pulse, and what happened to the boy last night came to his mind.

When the servant came out of the toilet, he ran into the vengeful spirit. The two had a brief conversation, but there was no special vocabulary in the conversation... Lu Zhan stood up and said, "It is indeed a vengeful spirit. The clothes she is wearing are royal blue embroidered jackets with vase patterns."

"That is indeed Little Sixteen!" Mr. Zhou said with a pale face, "She was wearing this dress before she died... But why did she want to kill Big Liu? I didn't treat her badly, so why did she get so much resentment?"

"When a ghost kills people, it usually kills those who have a grudge against it first." Xie Chunyan said, "You haven't offended her before, right? Or...she suddenly hanged herself, did anyone try to harm her?"

Mr. Zhou only came here once every few days and was not familiar with the place. He turned around and asked, "Tell me! You guys are together every day, what happened?"

"I... I think I have offended her..." The plump Fourteenth Concubine said weakly, "That time when we were playing mahjong, we were short of one, but I didn't expect that Fifteen and Sixteen would come together... I thought Fifteen's card skills were poor and easy to cheat, so I let Fifteen stay..."

The fifteenth concubine raised her head instantly: "What? You like playing mahjong with me, not because of the deep sisterly love, but because I am easy to deceive?"

Faced with the questioning of her good sisters, the Fourteenth Concubine hesitated and did not speak.

"Let's get to the point, don't talk about these nonsense!" Xie Chunyan said impatiently: "You Zhou family has so many houses. If you don't make it clear who has offended her, who knows where she will go to do evil tonight. Do we need to mobilize the entire Demon Suppression Bureau to investigate?"

Xie Chunyan was inexplicably punished by his boss to sweep the toilet, and he was annoyed. What's more, these women just didn't have the point in their words.

"But we haven't really offended her... We are all sisters, and even if there are some minor frictions, there is no need to kill people, right?" Fourteenth Aunt muttered.

Lu Zhan changed his train of thought and asked, "Has she ever complained about anything? For example, dissatisfaction with life."

The twelfth aunt, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "She...she did complain...but, but..."

"What are you? Tell me quickly!" Mr. Zhou was extremely anxious.

The twelfth concubine lowered her head and said, "She said that the master was henpecked and left her alone in this big house... He only came once in a while, but her body was not... not ready yet... It was over in less than half a cup of tea."
