Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Zhou Fangye propped himself up with his arms, a faint smile on his lips, and gazed lovingly at the woman under him who had a face full of grievance.

He reached out his hand and gently tapped her delicate little nose, his tone containing a hint of helplessness and pity.

"Silly girl, why didn't you come and ask me yesterday? Didn't you suffer in vain? The girl yesterday was Fu Qi'an's sister. I didn't know her. I was just asked by Fu Qi'an to escort her for a while. She sprained her ankle on the way, and I helped her up. That's all, nothing else."

As Zhou Fangye patiently explained, Yingniang's struggles gradually slowed down and the aggrieved look on her face slowly disappeared, replaced by an unnatural blush.

Before Yingniang could say anything, a teasing voice came, "I never knew that Yingniang was so jealous."

The blush on Yingniang's face became more obvious. She pouted her lips and shyly turned her head to the side, not daring to look at Zhou Fangye above her.

Suddenly, she felt an itchy sensation and a gentle sucking sound on her neck, making her feel as if her whole body was frozen and she couldn't move.

A slight moan escaped unconsciously from her lips.

The bed curtains made of gauze swayed slightly, filling the room with a beautiful spring scene.

By the time the two of them got up, the sun had already slowly risen.

After many days, the two of them enjoyed their long-awaited intimacy, and the atmosphere was sweet and harmonious.

A tacit understanding seemed to have formed between the two. No one mentioned the vague future between them anymore, and they only talked about trivial topics.

Although it was a misunderstanding yesterday, the biggest problem between them was not actually resolved.

Even if Zhou Fangye had nothing innocent to do with that woman, he still had to get married!

Yingniang was very clear about this fact, but for the first time she felt like escaping.

She wanted to just live in this muddle-headed way. No matter what the future held, at least she could have the complete Zhou Fangye now. At least she could still have this moment of joy.

Just when the two of them were in a rare harmonious atmosphere, Xiao Guoer rushed in.

Xiao Guoer's serious expression seemed to be a wake-up call to Yingniang, awakening her suddenly from her confused mind.

After Zhou Fangye left, Xiao Guoer said to Yingniang with a look of disappointment, "Sister! Have you forgiven him?"

Faced with Xiao Guoer's anger, Yingniang hurriedly repeated Zhou Fangye's explanation.

After she finished speaking, Xiao Guoer's expression slowly relaxed.

"But, sister, have you ever thought about this? Although yesterday was a misunderstanding, Zhou Fangye will get married sooner or later. What will you do then? Will you really become a mistress with no name or status?"

Yingniang showed a smile that was more bitter than the bitterness of the coptis chinensis. "I know that, but I can't control my own heart! I... I don't know what to do... I think maybe Zhou Lang's idea is not bad. When I get pregnant, I can give birth to a child..."

Before Yingniang could finish her words, she was interrupted by the furious Xiaoguoer.

"Sister! Are you crazy? Can you give birth to a child casually? Moreover, even if you are willing to give birth, will Zhou Fangye's parents agree? If they insist on not letting you enter the Zhou family, do you want your child to be an illegitimate child with no name or status?"

Xiao Guoer screamed in anger. She felt that Yingniang was simply blinded by love and possessed by a love brain. She actually had such outrageous ideas!

Facing Xiao Guo'er's questioning, Yingniang burst into tears, bit her lips and sobbed, her voice choking as she said, "But what else can I do..."

Xiao Guoer watched her crying sadly, and a feeling of powerlessness came over her heart.

It's not that she doesn't have other choices. Since Zhou Fangye can't give her a future, she can just cut the Gordian knot and draw a clear line with Zhou Fangye and have nothing to do with him anymore.

But she couldn't bear to do it!

Faced with Yingniang's crying, Xiao Guoer did not give her comfort for the first time, but slammed the door and left indifferently.

Xiao Guo'er was walking on the street, feeling angry at Yingniang for not fighting back. But after calming down, she started to think seriously.

She couldn't just abandon Yingniang, so she had to prepare for the worst.

If Yingniang insisted on following Zhou Fangye wholeheartedly, how could she help her?

Alas, why are women in this era so stubborn! They don't choose a brighter and smoother path, but choose a difficult and dead end!

Xiao Guoer thought hard but couldn't come up with any good ideas.

How could Zhou's parents change their minds so easily? How could she influence people to develop fixed ideas in this era? She couldn't even persuade Yingniang, let alone Zhou's parents who were conservative and rigid in their thinking.

She couldn't help it.

Xiao Guoer walked back to the lottery shop with heavy steps. It was not until he was so busy that he gradually forgot about Yingniang's worries.

It was not until the evening that she pretended to go back to Zhuxian Lane. As soon as she stepped through the gate, she saw Yingniang hurriedly coming out of the main house. She looked at her timidly and said, "You're back? Are you hungry?"

Apparently he had been waiting for her.

Seeing Yingniang asking her with a cautious expression, Xiao Guoer couldn't bear to continue with her cold face.

He smiled and said, "I've been busy for a long time. I'm starving."

Seeing that Xiaoguo'er looked normal, Yingniang finally put down her uneasy heart that had been with her for the whole afternoon. She was really afraid that Xiaoguo'er would be angry with her.

"I'll ask Yueya to prepare the meal." He said as he hurried towards the kitchen.

Xiao Guoer looked at her back and sighed softly.

After the meal, neither of them mentioned Zhou Fangye again. Although everything seemed calm on the surface, Yueya and Mrs. Zhou still felt that something was wrong between the eldest and second daughters.

When they were eating, the two of them chatted and laughed, and had endless topics to talk about. The second girl would act coquettishly towards the eldest girl from time to time.

It's nothing like now. Although both of them had faint smiles on their faces, it always felt like there was a layer of distance between them. The second girl no longer acted like a spoiled child. Although the eldest girl kept putting food into the second girl's bowl, the smile on her face was a little unnatural, like... a careful flattery.

Yueya and Zhou Pozi saw this, looked at each other, and didn't dare to say anything. They just stuffed their food into their mouths in silence.

-

Two days have passed since the Eighth Prince disappeared, and officers and soldiers from all walks of life are still searching for his whereabouts non-stop.

People on the streets and alleys were talking about this matter at first, but gradually they lost interest.

Apart from occasionally hearing people mention it in their after-dinner chat, it has never caused any further waves.

After all, for these ordinary people, what happens in the court is too far away from them.

No matter which prince was killed, they needed to continue living their ordinary, hard lives day after day.
