Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 97 Good Citizens

Yingniang looked at Fu Qi'an's meaningful expression, and her heart was filled with doubts and confusion. After Fu Qi'an left, she quickly turned to Xiao Guo'er and asked, "Why did he insist that you drink with him?"

Xiao Guo'er was also very puzzled. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "Maybe it's because I offended him before, so he wants to take this opportunity to get revenge."

Yingniang also remembered that they had a conflict in Jinxiang Tower, so she said worriedly: "If that's the case, don't go. Fu Yaoning is a lady from a wealthy family. Even if she wants to make things difficult for me, she won't go too far. I can be patient and it will pass. There is no need for you to suffer his threats for me."

Xiao Guoer shook her head gently and consoled her, "Don't worry, sister. It's just a drink. At most I can apologize to him and let him vent his anger. Now if Fu Yaoning doesn't agree to you entering the Zhou family and uses this as a bargaining chip to reject the marriage, Zhou can do nothing about it. Since Fu Qi'an was able to convince her to change her mind, we should try not to offend him."

Xiao Guoer returned to the east wing and found a dagger to defend herself. She thought that if Fu Qi'an really wanted to harm her, he would not surrender.

But a dagger was not safe either. Although she had some martial arts skills, which were enough to deal with Fu Qi'an, Fu Qi'an's men were better than hers, and she would not be able to resist them even with a dagger. She had to think of some other way.

Xiao Guoer went to a drugstore. When she asked the clerk if he had any drugs, the clerk's eyes changed when he looked at her, as if he was looking at a fugitive suspect.

"This is a legitimate pharmacy! We are here to cure illnesses and save lives, not to steal money and kill people!"

Xiao Guo'er was a little embarrassed and explained that she was also a good person and bought the drugs just for self-defense.

The pharmacist obviously didn't believe it. What kind of good person would use drugs to protect himself? You have a scar on your face, and you are not a good person at first glance!

"No!" The drugstore clerk refused flatly.

Xiao Guoer walked out of the pharmacy in frustration. Did she look like a bad person? Why did the clerk look at her like a bad person? She was a good citizen!

Good citizens feel uneasy because they cannot buy drugs.

Originally, Xiao Guoer planned that if Fu Qian dared to send his men to deal with her and she was unable to deal with him, she would sprinkle drugs into the air to make the enemy lose their ability to move, and then escape.

But the current situation is, where can she get the drugs?

Xiao Guo'er was in a dilemma, feeling confused. He wandered unconsciously on the street, feeling extremely irritable.

She originally thought that Yingniang's matter was finally settled, but she didn't expect that Fu Yaoning had found out about the existence of Yingniang's mistress from somewhere. Now whether Yingniang could enter the Zhou family depended on Fu Yaoning's attitude.

If she didn't agree, I'm afraid Zhou wouldn't let Yingniang in.

Xiao Guoer walked forward dejectedly and aimlessly, and bumped into someone without noticing. She took a step back and apologized hastily, but when she looked up, she saw a fan held in the slender fingers of the person opposite her, with a bright red fire jade hanging from the fan.

Xiao Guoer called out in surprise, "Jingchen!"

Tang Jingchen gently supported her, the corners of his eyes slightly raised, and asked with a faint smile: "Why don't you look at the road when you walk? What are you thinking about?"

Xiao Guoer pouted and muttered, "I'm thinking about where to find some drugs. They're not sold in drugstores."

Tang Jingchen really didn't expect her to suddenly say such shocking words. He asked in surprise, "What do you want the drug for?"

"It's for self-defense. If I encounter a bad guy that I can't beat, I can just knock him out."

Tang Jingchen couldn't help but feel alert and asked nervously, "Why would you think of this out of the blue? Did you meet a bad guy?"

Xiao Guoer didn't want to tell Tang Jingchen that she was going to drink with Fu Qian in the evening, otherwise he would definitely not let her go. But she had to go, but on the condition that she would take self-defense measures.

Xiao Guoer shook her head, as if nothing had happened. "No, it's better to be on guard than to take precautions. After all, I'm so smart, and there are so many people who are jealous of my intelligence. I can't guarantee that there won't be people who have bad intentions towards me."

Tang Jingchen almost laughed out loud. This girl never knew what modesty was. "Leave this to me."

"Do you have a solution? Can you give it to me before dark tonight?" Xiao Guoer looked at him expectantly with stars in her eyes.

Tang Jingchen patiently explained to her, "Things like sleeping pills are not sold openly on the market, but they are available in the dark market. If you know the way, it is not difficult to buy them. But why do you want them so urgently?"

Xiao Guoer laughed and said, "The sooner you have it, the sooner you can feel at ease."

Tang Jingchen always felt that her eyes were a little evasive and her expression seemed a little unnatural, but he didn't delve into it. She had her reasons for not wanting to speak, so why should he ask more?

"Okay, I'll ask Shun'er to deliver it to you this afternoon."

"Jingchen, you're so nice! You're simply a treasure chest!"

Time passed quickly, and when the sun was about to set, Shun'er handed two packets of medicine powder to Xiaoguo'er.

Xiao Guoer hid two packets of sleeping pills in her arms and a dagger in her sleeve, and waited quietly for Fu Qi'an's people to pick her up for the banquet.

Yingniang was worried about her, so she went to the east wing and earnestly advised, "Why don't you let Yueya go with you? I'll feel more at ease then."

If Fu Qian'an really wanted to harm her, it would be useless to have Yueya, a weak woman with no martial arts skills, accompany him. If a fight really started, he would have to distract himself to take care of her, which would affect her fighting ability. It would be better if there was someone who knew martial arts to protect her.

Xiao Guoer suddenly wanted to hire a bodyguard. But she couldn't find a suitable candidate for the time being, so she could only look for one slowly later.

Xiao Guoer pretended to be relaxed and said, "Don't worry, sister. Have you forgotten that I know a little bit of Kung Fu? Fu Qi'an can't beat me."

Yingniang sighed and said, "Then come back sooner, so I can feel at ease sooner."

Not long after, Xiao Guoer waited for the person sent by Fu Qian to pick her up and a carriage.

The carriage drove to a house and she was a little surprised when she got off. She thought the destination would be a restaurant or something like that.

Why did he bring her to this place? This was Fu Qi'an's private territory. If he had ulterior motives and wanted to murder her, wouldn't it be easier? After all, who knew how many servants were there? If there were only one or two, she could still use a dagger and drugs to deal with them, but if there were too many people, she wouldn't be able to do it.

Xiao Guoer stood in front of the door, hesitating and not daring to take a step inside.

The servant who came to pick her up saw that she was standing there motionless, so he had to go in and find his master and report the truth.

Fu Qi'an came out to meet her personally, "Why don't you come in?"

Xiao Guoer's voice was firm and clear, "You can eat and drink, but not on your territory. Let's find a restaurant."
