Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 20 Mutual Confession

Shen Jing suddenly realized. No wonder the prince's attitude towards Miss Xie was so hot and cold. The prince was indeed very shrewd.

Zhao Yunrong looked at Shen Jingshen's agreeable expression and felt uneasy. Was it really as he said?

Or was he just looking for a reason to convince Shen Jing and himself?

Hypocrisy has always been his forte, so why does he seem a little tired of dealing with Xie Mengwan these days?

Are you really afraid that your father will become suspicious?

Or is it because of the stunning beauty that can’t be erased from my mind?

Who was that woman? What was her identity? He searched for a few days, but the woman seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

-

Xiao Guoer was so happy that she almost went crazy. Whatever she wished for came true!

Five hundred taels! Who would believe it if I told them? How is this different from pie in the sky?

I never thought there could be someone so stupid and rich!

It would be great if I could encounter such good things every day!

Xiao Guoer looked at the five hundred taels of silver in her hand with great joy, her happiness was beyond words.

This time the money for her and her sister's redemption should be enough.

-

"Are you saying that a sucker gave you five hundred taels for no reason?" Yingniang's eyes widened in surprise after listening to Xiaoguo'er's explanation of the whole story.

"Sister! What do you mean by for no reason? He knocked over my pork elbow and gave me the money as compensation. Even though it was a little more, it wasn't for no reason!"

Xiao Guoer pouted and corrected the mistake in her sister's words.

Yingniang shook her head in disbelief, "That's too much to pay. This banknote... couldn't it be fake?"

"I asked someone to check it out, it's real!"

"Oh, sister, aren't you happy? We will be free soon!" Xiao Guoer danced with excitement.

Yingniang was indeed happy. She no longer worried about the unreasonableness of the five hundred taels and smiled softly.

"I'm happy, of course I'm happy! Our little Guo'er is really amazing. She has saved so much money without realizing it. Thanks to you, we were able to redeem ourselves. If it weren't for me, you would have been redeemed long ago. I only have three hundred taels here, so I can't be of much help, so you take it."

Seeing Yingniang's proud face towards her, Xiao Guo'er felt inexplicably guilty. Those banknotes were not all earned by her. There was also the other eight hundred taels she got from robbing the rich and helping the poor.

Xiao Guoer pushed back the three hundred taels of silver that Yingniang had taken out.

"What are you talking about, sister? If you hadn't helped me hide it, I wouldn't have had the chance to make so much money. I would have been forced to take on clients by Mother Qin."

"Besides, my money is not enough to redeem you. You still have to rely on your Zhou Lang. This is also my ability. When you enter the Zhou Mansion, you don't know what the situation will be like. I also need to bring some money with me. If I am not in the mansion, I can also take out the money in time to deal with things. How can you give it all to me?"

Yingniang held Xiaoguo'er's hand tightly, her nose felt sore, and she was so moved that she almost cried.

"Xiao Guo'er, you are so sincere and considerate of me, how can I repay you? I just did a little bit of work back then, but in return you have been sincere to me all these years, which is my luck. I thought my life was hard, but I didn't expect to have a sister like you. You worry about me all day long, and I feel guilty."

Xiao Guoer felt a warm current flowing through her body, and the warmth made her eyes sore. She blinked, holding back the mist, and held her sister's hand tightly.

"What's wrong with you, sister? What you said is so strange. We sisters depend on each other. Are you better to me, or am I more tired for you? How can I calculate these things clearly? Sister, don't think too much. Our sisters will be together in the future, and our lives will get better and better."

Yingniang's eyes turned red, she shook her head, her voice choked with sobs.

"Xiao Guo'er, I know that if it weren't for me, you would definitely not want to enter the Zhou Mansion. You have a way to make a living, unlike me. After you redeem yourself, you can live the life you want. You don't have to follow me anymore."

As he spoke, tears fell one by one.

Yingniang originally wanted to let Xiaoguoer leave after she had established herself in the Zhou Mansion, but now she doesn't want to drag her down any longer. With Xiaoguoer's ability and appearance, she will definitely be able to live the life she wants.

Xiao Guoer was very surprised, "How could Sister think like this? Are you going to abandon me? I like freedom, but I am even more worried about Sister. If I am not with Sister, I will definitely be so worried that I can't eat or sleep."

Yingniang cried and said, "I also want to be with you, but I can't be too selfish. You are a thoughtful person, how can you spend all your precious time on me? After entering the Zhou Mansion, I am just a concubine, and my life and death are not in my hands. How can I protect you?"

"Don't worry, sister. I'm not stupid enough to spend my entire life in the Zhou Mansion. Once I see that you are settled in the Zhou Mansion, I will leave and live my own free and easy life."

Xiao Guoer threw herself into Yingniang's arms, rubbing the tears that were about to burst out, her voice a little muffled.

"Sister, don't worry about having a hard time in the Zhou family in the future. Xiao Guoer has a better idea. You will definitely make a lot of money in the future. With Xiao Guoer backing you up, the Zhou family won't dare to look down on you."

"Okay, I'll count on Xiao Guoer to be successful in the future."

The two sisters hugged each other and fantasized about the future. They felt sad and uneasy in their hearts, but more of it was anticipation.

After receiving the news, Zhou Fangye hurried to Zuihualou.

When Yingniang told him the good news, he was quite surprised. "Xiao Guo'er is so capable? She can earn so much money?"

Yingniang nodded proudly, "You only think of her as a maid, but you don't know that she is smarter and more capable than many men in this world."

Zhou Fangye sneered, "I underestimated her."

"Now that we have enough money, Zhou Lang, go find Mother Qin and redeem us, right? I don't need to show off my status. It's best to keep a low profile when I enter your house."

Faced with Yingniang's burning and delighted eyes, Zhou Fangye avoided her gaze and lowered his voice.

"Wait for me for two more days, I will make some arrangements and pick you two up."

Yingniang thought about it and thought that it was reasonable to wait for two days. How could she not prepare for taking a concubine? No matter how low-key she was, it was still an addition. Zhou Lang probably didn't want to let her down too much.

She didn't notice Zhou Fangye's strange expression at all, and she didn't think that she couldn't enter the Zhou residence at all. After all, Zhou Fangye had vowed that his mother had agreed.

Zhou Fangye frowned as he came out of Zuihua Tower.

He was not unhappy that Yingniang was able to redeem herself, but what should he do with her?

My parents would never agree to let a prostitute into the house.

He had originally planned to buy a house outside first and then slowly tell Yingniang about it. He never expected that Yingniang would have collected enough money in just three or five days.

Yingniang has always been a woman of integrity. If she knew that he could not let her enter the Zhou Mansion and she could only be a concubine with no name or status, would she agree?

Zhou Fangye was nervous and couldn't think of any good solution for a moment.

Alas, now that things have come to this, the only thing I can do is to take Yingniang out of Zuihualou first, and then coax her to live outside for some time. When she gets pregnant, I can go and beg my mother for help. My mother is the most kind-hearted person, and then I will definitely be able to find a way around it.

The most urgent task now is to find a suitable house so that after taking Yingniang out in two days, we will not have no place to accommodate her.

-

Xiao Guo'er thought she would be able to leave Zuihualou tomorrow, so she specially ordered a table full of delicious food and wine to celebrate.

But after listening to Yingniang's retelling, her heart skipped a beat. The joy of being free was reduced by half, and she had a bad premonition.

With Yingniang's status, she didn't need a betrothal gift and there were no red tape. Besides, taking a concubine was simple. One could bring the person into the house in a sedan chair. Why would it take two days?

"Xiao Guo'er, what's wrong with you? Why don't you eat?"

Seeing Xiaoguoer put down her chopsticks, Yingniang couldn't help but wonder, this girl has always been greedy and can't put down her chopsticks when she sees something delicious, what happened today?

Xiao Guoer put away her worries and smiled sweetly, "There are so many delicious foods, I don't know which one to eat. Sister, you should eat quickly too."

She didn't want her elder sister to worry with her, and hoped that she was just overthinking.
