Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Tang Jingchen did not directly expose Fu Qi'an's act of putting drugs in the wine pot.

Since ancient times, the people have never fought against the officials. No matter how rich the Tang family is, they still have to be cautious and not make enemies with the officials. Moreover, Fu Qi'an is a vindictive person. If you offend him, he will probably retaliate twice as much.

Fu Qi'an was secretly hating him for ruining his good fortune, so he wasn't in a good mood. He just hummed through his nose as a response.

Although they are a merchant family, they are the Tang family. Unlike ordinary merchants, they are extremely wealthy. Although he is not afraid of them, he cannot offend them easily, otherwise his father will nag him again.

Xiao Guoer asked hurriedly, "What do you want from me?"

Tang Jingchen was just looking for an excuse, "We still need to talk about this matter."

Xiao Guoer didn't want to play along with Fu Qi'an, so she took the opportunity to say, "Mr. Fu, I have something else to do, so I won't have dinner with you. I'll sort out the prize redemption slips for you now and settle the bill for you. Brother Tang, please wait for me for a moment."

Fu Qian felt a dull pain in his forehead as he looked at her expression which showed that she wanted to leave immediately without hiding it.

Tang Jingchen didn't come earlier or later, but just happened to come to make trouble at the most important moment. It's really infuriating!

How could he be willing to accept failure once or twice?

But in this situation now, with Tang Jingchen watching from the side, he could no longer let Xiao Guoer drink the drugged wine.

What can I do if I am unwilling? I can just find another opportunity in the future.

Fu Qian raised his fan, his face looking so gloomy that it looked like it might rain.

"No need, just go and do your work, and don't bother with these slips of paper anymore. I don't need the money."

Xiao Guoer was as if she had been pardoned. She didn't care whether he looked good or not. She immediately carried her suitcase and was about to leave. Before leaving, she didn't forget to say something auspicious, "Master Fu is really generous. I wish Master Fu a successful career."

Tang Jingchen also said goodbye to Fu Qiyan, and then walked out with Xiao Guoer.

Fu Qian'an looked at the backs of the two people talking and laughing, jealousy and resentment surged in his heart, and a hint of viciousness flashed across his eyes.

The two walked out of the restaurant, and Tang Jingchen didn't ask until he was sure that Fu Qi'an couldn't hear them talking, "Why are you drinking with Fu Qi'an?"

Xiao Guoer said hesitantly, "He took care of my business and forced me to have dinner and drinks with him. I couldn't refuse, so I had to deal with it."

Tang Jingchen hesitated for a while, wondering whether he should tell Xiao Guoer that Fu Qi'an had poisoned the wine?

He was not sure whether Fu Qi'an really wanted to poison Xiao Guo'er. But if he did not tell her the truth, he was afraid that she would fall into Fu Qi'an's trap again next time.

While thinking, Xiao Guoer asked with a somewhat unnatural look, "So Fu Qi'an... besides visiting brothels, does he have any other male hobbies?"

Tang Jingchen was not prepared for her to ask this question, and said in confusion, "I haven't heard that he is a homosexual."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly widened. Could it be that Fu Qi'an was not going to poison Xiao Guo'er? Instead, he was...

Thinking of that possibility, Tang Jingchen no longer hesitated and told Xiao Guoer everything he had just seen in the restaurant.

"You must be careful in the future. If you meet Fu Qi'an again, take a detour. If you can't avoid him, don't eat or drink with him!"

Xiao Guoer broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. She guessed that the powder added to the wine must be poison. Even if it didn't take her life, it would at least make her suffer.

No wonder Fu Qi'an was so strange, it turned out that he was just trying to make her let down her guard so that he could harm her! The one hundred taels in her arms almost became her life-saving money.

How could she be so naive as to think that Fu Qi'an was harassing and teasing her?

That's not harassment at all, it's clearly a maze with bad intentions to take revenge on her!

What a petty, vicious, and cruel person! It was just a fight, why would he be so calculating in his revenge?

Xiao Guoer said indignantly, "Why didn't you say anything just now? Take the wine and report to the police and see how he can argue!"

Tang Jingchen looked behind him and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure there was no one there.

"Keep your voice down! How could Fu Qi'an confess so easily? Moreover, he didn't do it himself. In court, he refused to confess and only said that it was his servant who wanted to harm him. What can you do? Is it possible that his servant would betray his master?"

"Not to mention that he has the support of a father who is the Minister of Revenue, I heard that his family has a close relationship with Prince Zunyi. Who is Prince Zunyi? With him protecting you, even black is white!"

"You should be more careful in the future, stay away from him, and never provoke him again!"

Xiao Guoer was so angry that she wanted to go back and beat the guy up, but she also knew that Tang Jingchen was right. In this era, if you have power, you can cover the sky with one hand.

If she went back to confront Fu Qian'an now, not only would it be useless, but it would also implicate Tang Jingchen and bring about even more crazy revenge from that sinister villain.

She recalled that yesterday, Fu Qi'an had to force her to drink to apologize. Maybe drugs had been put in the wine!

If that prince hadn't suddenly appeared and called Fu Qian away, I would have been dead, or even if I wasn't dead, I would have been poisoned.

It makes me shudder just thinking about it. Even with the sun shining on my body, I can't dispel the chill rising from the soles of my feet.

Seeing that she turned pale with fear, Tang Jingchen hurriedly comforted her, "If you have nothing to do these few days, stay indoors and hide for a few days. Fu Qi'an won't be able to find you. He has little patience, so he might forget about it after a while."

Hide? How long will you hide?

She is so busy trying to make money now, how can she stay at home and not go out?

"No, I have to run a business and make money. I'll just be more careful."

Tang Jingchen was very curious about the box she was holding, "What kind of business are you doing?"

Xiao Guoer was upset and not in high spirits, but he still briefly introduced how to win the prizes and how to redeem them.

Tang Jingchen is a businessman, and a very shrewd one at that. Although what Xiao Guoer said was not very detailed, he understood it immediately.

His eyes lit up. This was truly a great way to make a lot of money!

Tang Jingchen looked at Xiao Guoer without blinking. He didn't expect that she was such a smart and imaginative woman who always surprised and delighted him.

"How did you come up with this idea?"

Seeing that he seemed a little excited, Xiao Guoer smiled smugly, "How is it? Isn't this a good idea?"

Tang Jingchen nodded, "Good, very good!"

Xiao Guoer was a little proud, and raised her head, saying, "I have a better idea, but unfortunately I don't have a suitable store to implement it."

Xiao Guoer couldn't help feeling a little discouraged again, but the next second she stopped and looked at Tang Jingchen with a flash of inspiration. Her eyes suddenly widened and revealed a brilliant light.

Yes, why didn’t she think of other ways?

Tang Jingchen was amazed to see her expression change three times in just a short moment.

At this moment, she was staring at him with burning eyes, as if she was staring at... a plate of braised pork elbow.

Xiao Guoer almost pounced on him, hugging Tang Jingchen's arms tightly with both hands.

"Brother Tang! Since you think my method is great, why don't we work together?"

Tang Jingchen felt a tingling sensation in his arms, and half of his body froze.

He said calmly, "How can we cooperate?"

Xiao Guoer danced with joy and said, "Please clear a small space for me in your Jinxiang Tower." She opened her arms and made a half circle, demonstrating that only a space of two arms' length and two arms' width would be needed.

The touch on Tang Jingchen's arm disappeared, and his body was no longer stiff, but an inexplicable sense of loss arose in his heart.

Xiao Guoer continued, "Just give me a small space next to the counter so I can do my business, draw prizes and run lottery, and it won't interfere with your business. Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you for nothing, I'll pay the rent monthly."

Xiao Guoer talked for a while, and seeing that Tang Jingchen had a dull look on his face, as if he was not interested, she was afraid that he would refuse, so she spoke quickly.

"I think you can foresee that this is a good business. I dare not boast that I will make a fortune in the future. I will definitely make a lot of money. If you agree, I can share the profits with you. How about 30% and 70%? I will take 70% and you will take 30%. When I find a suitable store in the future, I will not bother you anymore. How do you think?"

Xiao Guoer felt uneasy after she finished speaking. If she could cooperate with Tang Jingchen and start her business in Jinxianglou, it would be a hundred benefits with no harm.
