The prince stepped on me to get to the top, I angrily flirted with the enemy's hostage

Later, the madam saw it, but didn't say anything.

Su Rou thought that it was because she had a scar on her face and couldn't receive any customers, so she just let her do odd jobs in the backyard.

The girl who was responsible for cooking for others was called Qiao'er. Because the food she cooked was delicious, the madam kept Qiao'er.

Qiao'er came out of the house with a bowl of noodles in her hand.

"Come here and rest for a while, girl."

Su Rou put down the axe in her hand.

Qiao'er said, "With you here, I don't have to worry about firewood these days."

Su Rou said, "I hope I can help you."

Qiao'er smiled. Su Rou looked at her smiling face and asked, "Why didn't you go to the front and play the piano for the guests?"

Qiao'er said, "I can't play the piano. That's something only pretty girls can learn. I don't come from a good family, and I'm not very pretty, so my mother didn't let me go to the front."

Su Rou held the chopsticks in her hand and looked at Qiao'er's appearance. Isn't this appearance not pretty?

Sister Qiao is indeed beautiful, but in her opinion, Qiao'er is also beautiful.

"As for you, I heard from Ah Tian that you asked about Sister Qiao. Was it just out of curiosity? Or was it something you saw when they were brought here that morning?"

Su Rou turned her head away and took a bite of noodles. "Nothing, I just saw it that day. But I can't ask about this matter."

Qiao'er said, "You're asking because I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it if you saw it. This is a bit unscrupulous no matter where you look."

Su Rou asked, "Who has lost his conscience? Sister Qiao?"

Qiao'er nodded, but didn't say anything more to her.

Su Rou did not ask any further questions and lowered her head to eat her noodles.

Su Rou helped to clean up the dishes and brought over the dishes that the girls in the front yard had eaten.

When Su Rou went over, she met Sister Qiao.

When they were brought back early yesterday morning, Sister Qiao spotted her peeking on the stairs...

Sister Qiao called her over and said, "Wait."

Su Rou thought Sister Qiao was going to come and hold her accountable, so she even prepared her own explanation.

"Is there anything wrong, sister?"

Sister Qiao hesitated to speak, and finally took out something wrapped in oil paper from her sleeve.

"Take this and eat it. A male customer gave it to me at noon."

Su Rou took a look and thought that there should be pastries or something inside.

The male guests here are really considerate...

Come to listen to music and bring snacks to the pianist here.

Su Rou didn't answer, "Sister, why don't you keep it for yourself?"

"I saw that you and Ah Tian have the same taste, and I thought you would like it, so I left it for you."

How can she handle this?

It really looks like bribery...

"Thank you sister."

After a while, she went to find Ah Tian and ate the snack together.

She could tell that Sister Qiao wanted to see her about something, but she didn't ask. She turned around and prepared to leave.

Sister Qiao quickly called her over and said, "Wait."

Su Rou turned her head and asked, "Sister, is there anything else?"

Sister Qiao hesitated for a moment, "Have you gotten used to it here these days?"

Su Rou nodded, "I'm used to it."

Sister Qiao said again, "Could you do me a favor? Go to the outskirts of the city and get something for me."

There are not many people in the lobby on the first floor right now. What could have made Sister Qiao bully others like this?

Su Rou said, "Sure. What is it? Where is it on the outskirts of the city?"

Sister Qiao said, "I'll write you a letter. Just take it with you."

Although people should not be too curious, they should still be on guard against others.

Sister Qiao told her to open the letter when she arrived, but Su Rou had already opened it halfway.

The elegant handwriting reveals a faint scent of ink.

[It's a nice touch to meet you. Just give the things to this girl.]

There was only this one sentence in the letter.

Su Rou raised her hand and walked away with the letter, looking at it as she went, completely unaware that a figure was following her from behind.

This Sister Qiao is a little strange...

Su Rou walked out of the city gate and came to a forest. She glanced sideways behind her.

"come out."

"Are you the girl from Hongluan Tower?" the other party asked cautiously.

This is a man with a matchmaker's mole on his face and a wretched appearance.

Su Rou said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

The man let out an evil laugh of "Hehehe".

"I heard that the girls in Hongluan Tower have very soft bodies and can be easily ravaged by anyone. I think you look pretty good. Why don't you have fun with me..."

The man walked towards Su Rou step by step, thinking that he could scare her into screaming, but she just stood there with her arms folded, unmoved.

The man was surprised, "You..."

Before he could even ask a question, Su Rou took off the veil from her face.

Instead, she walked towards the man and said, "Okay, okay, uncle, come and play."

The wretched man paused.

After seeing Su Rou's face, he not only didn't dare to move forward, but also felt like backing out.

Su Rou has been bored staying in Hongluan Tower for a while. She finally got out and it was rare for someone so ignorant to come to her door.

She was afraid that the man would run away, so she quickly chased after him.

"Ghost... ghost!"

In the blink of an eye, Su Rou was already in front of the wretched man.

She raised her hands and pushed the man to the ground.

Su Rou's strength was so great that the man screamed in pain.

"You called me a ghost? When you go out, do passers-by dare not look at you straight in the eye? You are so ugly, and you still think I am ugly! Tsk!" She was worried about where to make some money, and after searching this wretched man, she only found a little change.

Are people in Jingzhou so poor?

After being slapped several times by her, the man dared not make any noise to attract other people's attention.

There weren't many people here, so it wasn't a problem for Su Rou to do something to him.

In fact, Su Rou had already noticed him when he followed her just now, and she deliberately led him to this deserted place.

Su Rou didn't find any more money, so she let him go.

The wretched man rolled and crawled on the ground and ran away.

Su Rou took a look and shook the change in her hand.

It's so light, it doesn't weigh much, I'm trying to find a way to make some money.

She doesn't even know where her old things are now.

Following the location Sister Qiao told her, Su Rou found a young man standing under the pavilion.

"Don't you find it creepy to be reciting poetry here alone in the wilderness?"

Before Su Rou went over, she saw the figure under the pavilion.

The sound of poetry can be heard, which is very elegant in this quiet forest.

Seeing her coming, the young man stopped reading.

"The girl is...?"

Su Rou took out the letter Sister Qiao gave her and said, "Sister Qiao asked me to come and get something. Is you her sweetheart?"

The young man was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "I am just Miss Qiao's confidant."

The young master turned around and handed her a wooden box on the stone table. "This is something I want to give to Miss Qiao. Thank you for your help."

Su Rou took the wooden box and said, "It's okay. I'll go back first."

The clothes this young man is wearing are patched, and his family is not well off.

Is it because of him that Sister Qiao is unwilling to "go to Lord Jiang"?

Su Rou had some guesses in her mind, but she didn't even look at what the young man gave to Sister Qiao. She put it in her arms and hurried back.

It's good to get some fresh air occasionally.

Su Rou yawned. She felt that she hadn't built any muscles despite chopping wood and doing heavy work these days.

It's really far worse than she used to be.

After returning to Hongluan Tower, Su Rou handed the wooden box in her hand to Sister Qiao.

Sister Qiao took the box and said, "Thank you."

Su Rou said, "Is that young man your sweetheart?"

Sister Qiao shook her head. "He has a family. I just became friends with him because I saw he was talented."

I've fallen for a married man...

No wonder she didn't want to.

Su Rou turned around and went back to her room. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse in the sky.

Su Rou leaned against the window sill and saw the madam taking the other girls into the carriage.

Is it time to go find Lord Jiang again?

They do this without getting tired of it.

"Sister, you're peeking here again."

The voice was A Tian, she didn't turn around.

"That Sister Qiao, was Lord Jiang interested in her? She didn't want to go, so your mother sent the other girls to die in order to please Lord Jiang."

Ah Tian hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Probably... that's true. Last year, when Lord Jiang came to Jingzhou to take up his post, he fell in love with Sister Qiao at first sight. And Sister Qiao happened to have a crush on someone else..."

If Sister Qiao offends the officials sent down from above to take charge, her affairs will sooner or later implicate the entire Hongluan Tower.
