Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Xiao Guoer felt a little embarrassed by Tang Jingchen's direct and passionate gaze.

Except for Yingniang, she had never worn women's clothes and shown her true face in public. Seeing Tang Jingchen not moving for a long time and just staring at her, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable shyness in her heart.

Finally, she couldn't help but whispered, "Why don't you come in?" Unlike her usual low voice when she was disguised as a man, her voice at this moment was as clear and melodious as the sound of a yellow oriole singing out of a valley.

Tang Jingchen's eyes flickered slightly, and the tips of his ears were quietly tinged with an imperceptible blush.

He took a deep breath, bent his body, stretched out his long legs, and easily got into the car.

The blue-gray curtains were lowered again, blocking out the sunlight, and the carriage suddenly fell into darkness.

The dim light enveloped the carriage like a veil, covering the unnatural expressions on the faces of the two people with different thoughts. It also covered Tang Jingchen's blazing eyes.

"Xiao Guo'er, how did you know there was a seriously injured person in the bamboo forest? His clothes were wet and his makeup was off. What happened?" Tang Jingchen's voice was low and serious, with a hint of imperceptible concern.

Xiao Guoer recalled what happened just now, still feeling a lingering fear. She bit her lip lightly and said lightly, "It was just a coincidence. I was originally going to look for Zhou Fangye, but I took the wrong road. When I saw someone fall into the water, I rescued him."

She skipped the process of giving the man artificial respiration and only said, "I saw that he was seriously injured, so I wanted you to help."

Tang Jingchen said in a deep voice, "That man is the current Eighth Prince. He was assassinated today. There will be a bloody storm in the court soon. You must not tell anyone what you saw today, not even your sister!"

"Yes." Xiao Guoer nodded and agreed. Even if he didn't say it, she knew that today's incident was a huge trouble. And that prince was really an unpredictable and dangerous person.

She is the person who hates trouble the most and is most afraid of danger. She will never seek trouble if she can stay away from it.

After a brief conversation, they fell into an eerie silence. After a long while, it was broken by a low and gentle voice, "Xiao Guo'er is so beautiful, why do you deliberately pretend to be ugly?"

Xiao Guoer was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Beauty without any protection can only be a source of trouble. I was in a brothel before, and I had no choice. If I didn't think of some way, I would be trapped there for the rest of my life, suffering and unable to escape."

Tang Jingchen was shocked. He didn't expect her life story to be so tragic. No wonder she could draw such an erotic picture. He felt distressed and asked with pity, "How did you get into the brothel?"

Xiao Guoer said calmly, "When I was young, I was kidnapped by a trafficker and sold to a brothel."

Tang Jingchen was shocked and asked in surprise, "Then have you gone to look for your family?"

Xiao Guoer shook her head. She was kidnapped when she came here and had no idea who the parents of this body were.

"It's been so long, and I was so young at the time, I don't remember who my parents are."

Tang Jingchen saw that she looked calm and not sad at all when she mentioned her tragic past, and he couldn't help but feel more pity for her.

It turned out that she had such a hard life when she was young. Tang Jingchen felt as if his heart was pierced by a dense mass of sharp embroidery needles, causing a pain.

"Fortunately, after all the hardships come happiness. Thanks to her cleverness and wit, Xiao Guoer has now become a shop owner who makes a lot of money every day. She will surely be more successful in the future."

Tang Jingchen secretly swore in his heart that as long as he was around, she would never suffer like that again. He would help her and make sure that the rest of her life would be smooth and free of difficulties.

Xiao Guoer liked to hear auspicious words, and immediately smiled and said, "Although I am not making a fortune now, I will definitely make a fortune in the future."

Although the light was not bright, Tang Jingchen still felt that her smile was like a blooming spring flower, intoxicating.

The spacious and magnificent carriage moved slowly forward, its wheels pressing over the hard stone road, making a crisp and rhythmic "clack" sound.

Tang Jingchen, who was sitting in the carriage, held a folding fan in his hand and placed it on his knees. The tassels on the fan swayed gently as the carriage shook.

Xiao Guoer's eyes unconsciously looked at the red fire jade with a warm color and a warm touch. This was a masterpiece that she had been busy for more than half a month, carefully carving with blood, sweat and tears.

The brightly colored Chinese knot hangs below the red fire jade, and the two complement each other, making it unique, delicate and chic.

Suddenly, the Red Fire Jade stopped swaying, and a large, slender, white hand with distinct joints covered it. The fingers and the Red Fire Jade complemented each other, the white became whiter, and the red became redder. The contrast was so sharp that it was eye-catching.

Seeing that Xiao Guoer didn't move for a long time, Tang Jingchen followed her gaze towards the fan in his hand, and a hint of tenderness instantly appeared in his eyes.

This uniquely shaped red fire jade was carved by her personally, and the net underneath is also of a style never seen before, very unique and ingenious, all made by her personally.

When she gave it to him this morning, she only said, "This is for you. I made it myself. You can play with it or hang it under your fan as a pendant. I want to thank you for taking care of me all this time. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Surprise flashed in his eyes. He took it in his hand and examined it carefully. It was a shape and style he had never seen before. When he was about to ask her, she hurriedly went to prepare the things for the gambling boat with Tang Xi.

Until just now, I had not had the time to say a few more words to her.

When Xiao Guoer was marveling at how beautiful that hand was, a low and gentle voice came to her ears.

"Xiao Guoer hasn't told me yet, what is the meaning of this red fire jade being carved into a shape that is concave on the top and pointed on the bottom? And this cord, I have never seen a cord like this before, what is its name? Where did you learn it from?"

A suspicious blush appeared on Xiao Guoer's face, but the light in the carriage was dim and Tang Jingchen didn't notice it for a while.

"Ah, I just carved this shape randomly because I thought it looked good. It doesn't have any meaning." You can't say that this red fire jade is in the shape of a heart, right? A woman giving a man a heart-shaped object, the meaning of which should not be too obvious.

She was not brave enough to express her feelings so openly. "That knot is called a Chinese knot. I don't remember who taught me how to make it. Maybe I learned it when I was a child, before I was kidnapped."

Xiao Guoer found that amnesia was really a good excuse. Everything she didn't want to say and couldn't explain could be attributed to "her childhood before she was abducted."

Hearing this, Tang Jingchen felt pity for her again. "Your biological parents must be extraordinary people to have raised a smart daughter like Xiao Guo'er. Xiao Guo'er, do you have any memories? If you can remember any clues, I'll look for them."
