Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

Tao Jiuxi looked at this woman who was one year younger than him, and thought that she had been immersed in this world for a long time at such a young age. He couldn't help feeling regretful. She was like a flower in bud, which had been eroded by wind and rain before it bloomed.

"You're so young..."

Tao Jiuxi's words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back, with some pity in his eyes.

"I've been receiving clients since I was thirteen, and it's been two years now." Jasmine said calmly. Seeing the complicated expression on Tao Jiuxi's face, she smiled gently, but her smile was filled with endless bitterness. "Don't worry, young lady. This is my fate. I accept it."

As she spoke, she picked up another piece of dessert on the table and handed it to Tao Jiuxi, her movements gentle and with a hint of flattery.

Tao Jiuxi took the snack and began to look around with pretended curiosity.

Wherever she looked, she found that most of the women here were young, and each of them wore thick makeup. Under the powder, it was hard to hide their faces that were a mixture of childishness and fatigue.

However, she did not find Xie Yushu among them, and she couldn't help feeling anxious.

"What are you looking at, girl?" Jasmine asked curiously.

"This is my first time in a place like this. Naturally I'm curious and just looking around. It must have been difficult for you to accept it when you first got here, right?" Tao Jiuxi replied with a hint of regret in his eyes.

"We have to accept it even if it's hard to accept. Otherwise, Mother Liu will have plenty of ways to deal with us." Jasmine's tone was helpless, but the corners of her mouth still kept smiling. Her hands kept moving and she began to peel grapes again, just hoping to serve the girl in front of her well.

"Ah? What method?" Tao Jiuxi pretended not to understand.

"For people like us, Mother Liu has many methods to deal with. Putting us in a water dungeon, beating and scolding are commonplace. If we don't obey... she will call a few more people..." Seeing that Tao Jiuxi was a woman, Jasmine lowered her voice and almost spoke into Tao Jiuxi's ear.

Tao Jiuxi's face showed a frightened look, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of horror.

"I shouldn't have said this to you, young lady. I frightened you." Jasmine said with some guilt.

"It's okay, I just didn't expect it to be so scary. By the way, are there any new girls here recently?" Tao Jiuxi quickly changed the subject and asked casually.

Jasmine heard this, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, but only for a moment, then she immediately replied, "Yes, two came over half a month ago. Mother Liu named them Narcissus and Peach Blossom."

Tao Jiuxi casually grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from the table and said as he ate them, "Those two names sound nice. So where are they now? Are they also imprisoned in the water dungeon?"

"So that's what the young lady is curious about." Jasmine said with a look of understanding. "That's not the case. They weren't innocent before they came. Mother Liu naturally has no patience and forces them to receive several people every day..."

Tao Jiuxi felt his heart tremble suddenly, as if it was being grabbed by an invisible hand.

But she quickly controlled her emotions and concealed the slight ripple, not wanting Jasmine to notice anything unusual.

Jasmine frowned slightly, but her eyes were always observing Tao Jiuxi's expression as she continued, "That girl called Narcissus is really a tough nut to crack. When she first came, she threatened to commit suicide and refused to receive customers, but Mother Liu was cruel and drugged her. Since then, she has had to receive several groups of customers every day. She seems to have lost her soul and is completely unable to resist. However, in the past two days, it seems that her temper has softened a little. But even so, Mother Liu still doesn't intend to let her go. In order to completely tame her, she arranged for two more people to go to her room today."

Tao Jiuxi frowned, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

"I've said too much," Jasmine said, but she certainly saw the fleeting emotion in Tao Jiuxi's eyes.

Jasmine paused for a moment, then continued, "Miss, each of us has a corresponding sign hanging on our room with our name written on it. If you're looking for someone, just look for them according to the name on the sign. But please be careful not to bring trouble to me."

"Who do you think I'm looking for?" Tao Jiuxi slowly asked back.

"I don't know. For me, serving the young lady well will earn me some money. It doesn't matter who earns the money. Besides, since the young lady has found this place, she must have confirmed that the person she is looking for is here." Jasmine said calmly.

She had been here for several years, starting with serving tea. She had met all kinds of people, so it was no problem for her to read their expressions.

Furthermore, Jasmine knew that even if she couldn't get the information here, she could get it elsewhere.

"Then please tell me, young lady, should I look for daffodils or peach blossoms?" Tao Jiuxi thought that since Jasmine had already guessed it, he could just ask her directly.

"Taohua is a farmer's daughter. She had no experience before coming here. She became obedient after being frightened."

After hearing this, Tao Jiuxi immediately understood what he meant and quietly stuffed two silver ingots into Jasmine's hands.

Jasmine calmly put the silver into her sleeve, then leaned back, pretending to be pushed down by Tao Jiuxi, and shouted coquettishly.

"Sir, I know I was wrong."

Jasmine said this with a look of grievance on her face, tears in her eyes, as if she really regretted her "mistake".

Tao Jiuxi frowned and immediately said, "You sing so badly, why are you still here? Get out! The one wearing purple, come here."

Tao Jiuxi looked angry, his eyes full of disgust.

Jasmine trembled when she heard this, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, but she didn't dare to refute and could only stagger back.

The woman in purple clothes moved lightly and soon came in front of Tao Jiuxi and others.

"Sir, Jasmine is the dumbest person in our Wanhua Tower. You've come to the right person by looking for me." The purple-clothed woman said with a sweet smile, a hint of pride in her eyes.

"Hmph, she is indeed stupid. You come and pour some wine for me." Tao Jiuxi glanced at the woman in purple, his expression still cold.

In this way, Tao Jiuxi changed several women to serve him, but every time he pretended to be dissatisfied and sent them away one by one.

After completing this series of disguised actions, Tao Jiuxi approached Shen Zhiyi and Ji Qingyi, who were still performing an intimate act, and said, "Second floor, Narcissus."

When the two heard this, they put down their wine cups without saying a word, as if they had heard an amnesty, feeling relieved.

Then, he hurried to the second floor.

They moved very quickly and soon found the door with the "Daffodil" sign on it among the many rooms on the second floor.

Tao Jiuxi walked quickly to the door and stopped. He heard the woman's screams of pain and the man's obscene words coming from the room.

However, this miserable voice was drowned out by the melodious sounds of stringed instruments downstairs, just as the woman's suffering was covered up by this world of decadence and extravagance, and no one cared.
