Time Travel: Brothel Maid

The sun had not risen yet and the sky was still bluish-gray. The little maid rubbed her sleepy eyes, casually tidied up her messy clothes, and hurried to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a figure rushed in. The maid looked at him and was startled. She immediately bowed and said, "Hello, young lady."

The little maid saw that the young lady's eyes were dark blue, and it was obvious that she did not sleep well the night before. At this moment, her expression seemed extremely anxious and uneasy, and she ran over so early in the morning. She guessed that the young lady must have something important to tell her.

Fu Yaoning had been unable to calm down since she came back from Zhuxian Lane last night. She wanted to ask her brother what to do with the prostitute, but she waited until night and her brother did not come back. She tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep, her heart filled with anxiety and worry.

As soon as the day started to brighten, he couldn't wait to look for his brother.

"Where is my brother?" There was a hint of urgency in Fu Yaoning's voice.

The little maid said hurriedly, "The young master is still sleeping in the inner room. I will go and tell him right away."

As soon as the little maid finished speaking, she saw the young master lifting the curtain and walking out. But why were there two dark spots under the young master's eyes?

Oh, the young master has not been feeling well recently. She will go to the kitchen to prepare some medicinal food for the young master to strengthen his body.

"Brother, I waited for you for a long time yesterday, but you didn't come back. Where did you go?" Fu Yaoning looked at her brother with a complaining look on her face.

Fu Qi'an pinched his brows. He had not been able to sleep well since he woke up from the nightmare. He had a headache and his voice was tired. "What's wrong? What do you want from me?"

The little maid standing aside muttered to herself, the young master looked like he had been drained by some vixen outside. Look at him, he even spoke so weakly, he was so frail.

"You go down first." After Fu Yaoning drove the little maid out of the door, she pouted and said, "Brother stopped me from dealing with that prostitute yesterday. Do you want me to tolerate her in the future? Absolutely not! If you don't think of a way to have the best of both worlds, I will tell Daddy and Mommy about the bad things you did outside! Let them teach you a lesson!"

Fu Qi'an looked at her stubborn and willful temper, and sighed, "Why are you so anxious? How can I ignore you? I will definitely solve all your problems and not let you have any worries."

Fu Yaoning finally relaxed her expression. "What can brother do? Yesterday, Master Zhou said a lot of good things to me. I can see that he cares about that prostitute very much. Just like brother said, if I separate them abruptly, Master Zhou will definitely hate me. I don't want him to hate me..."

By the time she finished speaking, Fu Yaoning's voice had slowly become lower, mixed with a hint of sadness and the bitterness of a girl trapped in love.

When Fu Qi'an saw this expression on his sister's face, he suddenly felt a strong sense of self-blame and guilt. In fact, he loved this sister very much. He would make it up to her in the future and clear all obstacles for her.

He then slowed down his voice and assured, "Don't worry, sister. I will find a way to make that prostitute leave Zhou Fangye on her own initiative. This way, it won't affect the relationship between you and Zhou Fangye, and he won't hate you either."

Fu Yaoning's depressed mood was swept away. She pulled her brother's arm expectantly and asked, "What should we do? Will the woman leave on her own initiative? I don't think she will agree easily."

Fu Qi'an looked at his sister with a doting smile on his face. He stretched out his big palm and gently pulled down his sister's shaking hand from his arm, saying softly, "You don't have to worry about these things. Leave them to your brother. Just go and discuss your engagement with mother."

Fu Yaoning smiled happily and said in a sweet voice, "I knew my brother is the best!"

Fu Qi'an pinched her little nose and pretended to be angry, "Didn't you just say you were going to complain to my parents? Why am I a good person now?"

Fu Yaoning coquettishly grabbed her brother's hand and shook it, "I was just joking, brother, don't be stingy."

Fu Qi'an poked his sister's forehead with a finger and sighed helplessly, "You!"

-

On the other hand, Yingniang has been in a state of anxiety. Although Xiaoguoer and Zhou Fangye have been trying their best to comfort her, and Fu Yaoning has indeed not appeared again, she still feels very uneasy deep in her heart, as if there is a bottomless and extremely terrifying abyss waiting for her ahead...

Xiao Guoer didn't notice Yingniang's mood changes. She saw that Fu Yaoning hadn't come to cause trouble these days and had a very optimistic attitude. She guessed that it was probably because women in this era could easily accept their husbands having three wives and four concubines, so Fu Yaoning thought it was no big deal to take a concubine after marriage? Or maybe Fu Qi'an's persuasion worked?

In short, it's a good thing if nothing happens.

Recently, the Fu family and the Zhou family have been discussing the engagement of their two children and have finalized all the details.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly with clear blue skies. The Zhou family brought the Iceman and a generous betrothal gift and went to the Fu family to propose marriage in a grand manner.

In a short time, everyone in Shangjing City knew that the Zhou and Fu families were going to get married.

It was also on this day that Fu Qian walked into the general's mansion.

Chen Fengyao looked at Fu Qi'an, with whom he had no previous contact, and raised his thick black eyebrows slightly, "What do you want from me?"

Fu Qi'an raised his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said slowly: "I came here today because my sister is about to get married. I would like to invite General Chen to take the time to come and share the celebration banquet."

Chen Fengyao was a little surprised to hear that. He was slightly startled and said, "Congratulations to your sister for finding her ideal husband. If I have nothing else to do that day, I will definitely go there to sit with you and drink this glass of wedding wine together to share in your family's happiness."

"Thank you, General Chen."

Fu Qi'an didn't leave immediately after he finished speaking. Instead, he spoke again as if he was chatting with an acquaintance, "Recently, I have a problem in my mind, and I have been thinking hard for a long time but still can't figure it out. General Chen has rich experience and broad knowledge. I wonder if he can give me some advice?"

Chen Fengyao was increasingly confused, and it was hard to understand what Fu Qi'an was up to. They had never met before and their friendship was very shallow. Even if there was indeed a banquet for the daughter of the Minister of Revenue to get married, it should not be Fu Qi'an's turn to invite her. And now this man not only came, but also said such puzzling words.

Chen Fengyao was a straightforward person who hated talking in a roundabout way, so he asked directly, "What's the matter?"

Fu Qian'an had an embarrassment on his face, as if he was really troubled by this matter. "Actually, it's not my business, it's my sister's business. She's going to marry into the Zhou family soon, but I just found out not long ago that Zhou Fangye actually had a mistress, and I'm very concerned about it."
