My lady, I'm going to rebel.

Jinlian is not only beautiful but also has a sweet voice, but what she says is as vicious as jackals, tigers and leopards.

Jinlian shook a red string, and a moment later, two eunuchs came in carrying a wooden bucket. It was half a person's height, and after adding water, the room was filled with steam.

Mu Zheng was a little embarrassed and murmured, "I don't want to take a shower."

Jinlian acted as if she didn't hear anything. She tested the water temperature with her small hands, then gently picked up the flower basket next to her and slowly sprinkled the flowers into the bucket.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room became more charming.

"Son..."

As Jinlian whispered softly, her clothes were taken off one by one, leaving only a bellyband. Her rosy white skin was particularly dazzling in the candlelight.

Mu Zheng felt his throat was a little dry, and he immediately saluted.

"Since you don't want to listen to music or take a bath, you must be wasting your time." Jinlian walked to the tub and said, "But Jinlian must serve you spotlessly. Please be patient and wait for a moment."

Before she finished speaking, Jinlian had already untied her bellyband, and her body, as smooth as mutton fat, instantly stimulated Mu Zheng's senses.

How long has it been since Mu Zheng last had contact with a woman?

It's been a long time, right?

The last time I was with Yunniang was at...

The gentle sound of water interrupted Mu Zheng's meditation. Unbeknownst to him, Jin Lian had already entered the wooden tub. Her body, half visible among the petals and the clear water, made it even more difficult to look away.

Mu Zheng took a deep breath and turned his head with difficulty.

"Miss Jinlian, can we talk for a few minutes?"

"Sir, do whatever you want. Jinlian won't resist."

This answer inevitably makes people think about it.

Mu Zheng walked to the front of the table, trying to stay away from the temptation. "I want to ask Miss Jinlian where she is from?"

Jinlian was stunned for a moment. She probably didn't expect Mu Zheng to ask this question. She gently scooped up the water with her right hand and then poured it down her left hand. The movement was so large that even if Mu Zheng couldn't see it clearly, he could imagine it clearly.

"Sir, this bucket is designed for two people. Even though it's not big, two people won't feel crowded inside. Don't you want to try it?"

This time Mu Zheng didn't answer. Seeing that he didn't respond, Jin Lian smiled sweetly and continued washing herself. "Jin Lian is just a girl from a poor family, without a father or a mother. She almost starved to death on the street. Fortunately, my mother adopted her, and I was able to live a peaceful life."

Mu Zheng listened quietly. He didn't expect to hear the word "mother" in this ancient time. But he also knew that this mother was not the same mother.

"Is the mother you are talking about Li Cheng?" Mu Zheng asked.

Jinlian didn't say anything, but seemed to move her head. Mu Zheng couldn't see clearly whether it was a shake or a nod, but he didn't care. "Miss Jinlian, do you want to get away from this kind of life?"

The sound of water stopped.

After a long while, Jinlian finally replied, "Do I have any other choice?"

Mu Zheng was silent.

"Mr. Mu, I can see that you are a good person. You are different from those people. Well, your eyes are different, so I am willing to serve you."

Jinlian stood up from the tub and began to wipe herself. "You saw what happened today. If it weren't for Miss Li, I would have fallen into the hands of that old man. A woman like me is born with this fate. Sooner or later, I will give my body to someone else. Perhaps giving it to you, young master, is a blessing."

A layer of transparent gauze could not hide the graceful curves of Jinlian. She walked up to Mu Zheng and took his hand, "Come on, tear it apart!"

Mu Zheng's fingertips trembled, and for a moment, he really wanted to cover it up.

But he held back.

"How much is the ransom?" Mu Zheng asked.

Jinlian shuddered, with a look of surprise evident between her brows: "Master, what do you want?"

Mu Zheng blinked twice: "No, I don't have any money."

Uh.

If it weren't for her professional ethics, Jinlian would really want to curse.

"But I can keep you as my sponsor for the time being," Mu Zheng said.

"Ah?" Jinlian reacted instantly and realized that this keeping a mistress should be what people often call keeping a concubine.

"But the maintenance costs are even more." Jinlian felt that keeping a mistress was a bit of a payout, but after two or three years, that amount was enough to redeem a girl. Of course, as a virgin, she might be more expensive, but overall, it wasn't cheap.

"It won't take two or three years." Mu Zheng shook his head. "It will be done by the end of the year."

Ok?

Jinlian didn't understand.

But Mu Zheng didn't need her to understand. After all, according to the course of history, Yecheng would soon be in chaos, and by then, Jinlian could escape if she wanted to.

"Rest for now. You're still a virgin. When you regain your freedom one day, go to a place where no one knows you. There are vast fields and unknown new things. You will be happy there." After saying that, Mu Zheng walked towards the door: "I will ask Miss Li to pay for you. Don't worry, you will never meet the lonely old man again."

As Mu Zheng disappeared at the door, Jinlian, still covered in a veil, stood there for a long time.

These were words she had never heard before, and this was also the life she had thought about before but dared not think about anymore.

If I can save my body, can I still marry with a clean virgin?

Is this a dream?

Maybe it was a dream.

Jinlian's nose suddenly felt sore and two tears rolled down silently.

So this is what it feels like to be treated as a human being.

The red candle flickered, and as red tears fell, Jinlian slowly walked to the clothes rack. She reached out and took the underwear, then put on her inner garment, then her skirt, and then her jacket...

The clothes she had taken off one by one were now back on her body one by one.

After finishing her tidying up, Jinlian walked out of the room, turned a few corners in the corridor, and finally stopped in front of a more luxurious room.

Tuk Tuk!

Tap twice.

"Come in." A familiar voice sounded.

Jinlian pushed the door open and walked in. "Miss Li, Master Mu has left."

There were two people sitting in the room, Li Yu and Li Cheng.

"Okay, got it!" Li Cheng turned to look at Li Yu: "Dad, what do you think? Am I right?"

Li Yu nodded and sighed, "As expected, my daughter is smart."

If Mu Zheng was here, he would definitely be surprised, because Li Cheng is no longer the carefree and seemingly unruly person. On the contrary, she seems unusually calm.

Jinlian stood aside with her head lowered. She didn't want to know what the Li father and daughter were talking about, nor did she dare to think about it.

"Jinlian, repeat everything Mu Zheng said and did in the room word for word." Li Cheng said in a deep voice.

Jinlian did not dare to be negligent and explained every word in detail.

Li Cheng held the teacup in his hand, closed his eyes and rested until Jinlian finished speaking. Then he said lightly, "You can go down."

Jinlian hesitated to speak.

Li Cheng added, "Let's wait until Brother Mu comes to talk to me about sponsorship."

Jinlian hid her joy very well and bowed before leaving.

After Jin Lian left, Li Cheng smiled and said, "Dad, I told you this Mu Zheng is no ordinary person. Look, I bet he wouldn't stay the night, and sure enough, he didn't. A man like this values ​​love over sex. He's a hero. Make arrangements. I want him."
