The prince kissed her seven times in one night, and the abandoned woman was scared!

However, the fat madam upstairs was like a dead person, without a heart.

"What does your life or death have to do with me? Don't talk nonsense. How can you have any savings? I gave you freedom just to redeem you with the little money you had. If you dare to come up and scare my customers again, I will kill you!"

"Mom? You're being unreasonable. I redeemed myself three years ago, but you've been refusing to return my indenture. For the past three years, I've only been renting in Qianhuan Tower, and I've been paying them money every month.

Mom, please, give me back half of it so I can rent a place to live and spend the rest of my life there."

The woman was very humble and had already started to kowtow frequently.

But the madam upstairs was indifferent and emotionless: "Nonsense, get out and don't dirty the ground in front of my door."

"Mom?" The woman lay on the ground crying in despair, attracting more and more people, but no one came to help. Instead, they pointed and criticized.

"Serves her right! She's Dong Xian'er, the top prostitute at Qian Huan Lou ten years ago. She's incredibly pretty, and skilled in all kinds of music. I spent three hundred taels of silver to buy her for half the night, and look at her rotten face now. She's worthless."

"Why would she have to work as a prostitute in a brothel when she has all the necessary hands and feet? Now she's infected with that unclean disease. Everyone, stay away from her and don't get infected."

"People like this are better off dead."

More and more people pointed at the crying Dong Xian'er and cursed her. She never looked up from beginning to end. She just lay on the ground and let the people around her curse her without any resistance.

After a long while, when everyone around had left, Dong Xian'er finally picked up the broken pipa and climbed up. She bowed and knelt before Yun Suyue and Tao Xiang, "Thank you both for saving me, but I can't repay you."

After she finished speaking, she didn't look at anyone and walked out of the city with empty eyes, completely lifeless.

"Alas, this is the ancient times where men are superior to women and the hierarchy is strict." Yun Suyue shook her head as she looked at Dong Xian'er's back. She had no intention of caring about it. She was just a drop in the ocean. Who could she control?

What's more, she is a person who has long lost her dignity and vitality. Her only memory of life is probably the faces of guests who were unwilling to serve her again and again.

What could she possibly do with her? Should she give her some money to spend or a small house to shelter her from the wind and rain so that she could spend the rest of her life?

If a person wants to live, he must first save himself.

She looked up at the people on the street. They were still coming and going, and the shops around her were still doing business, as if everything that had just happened didn't exist. No one cared who she was, or whether she was alive or dead.

Tao Xiang was a little reluctant, "Miss, Dong Xian'er really doesn't want to live anymore, shouldn't we stop her?"

"I won't stop you." Yun Suyue didn't look back and walked forward decisively.

Suddenly, a slender figure stopped her and knelt on the ground with a plop. Her knees seemed very soft, as if she was born to kneel.

Dong Xian'er put down the broken pipa in her hand, placed her hands on the ground and kowtowed to Yun Suyue, "How brave of a lowly slave! Even in this state, I still want to live. I beg Miss Yun to take me in.

I know that I am not worthy of working in any of your shops with my face. I only ask Miss Yun to give me a job. Any job is fine as long as I can continue to live."

She was afraid that Yun Suyue would not agree, so she kowtowed twice and added, "I don't want a house. I can live in a stable, a cowshed, or a barn. As long as it can shelter me from the wind and rain."

After saying that, he kowtowed to Yun Suyue again. Only when he was satisfied did he dare to look up and look at Yun Suyue cautiously. He bit his lips and remained silent, but there was some life in his eyes.

Seeing that she could still be saved, Yun Suyue asked her, "Do you know me?"

The woman nodded hurriedly. "Yes, I was here when Yunxiang Herbal Tea opened. I wanted to buy a cup of herbal tea to try to cure my face. Unfortunately, I was incompetent and didn't get back the savings I had accumulated over the years. I could only return home in despair."

When I got home, my mother beat me up. She said I had stolen her savings and kicked me out of Qian Huan Lou. I had nowhere to go, so I sneaked back home at night and was beaten again...

Yun Suyue didn't expect that it was more or less related to her. She asked the woman, "Can you play the pipa and sing?"

Instantly, the woman's eyes lit up. "Yes, my mother taught me how to play and sing since I was a child. I play the pipa well and can sing a few ditties, but... but I am old and ugly now."

Yun Suyue glanced at Dong Xian'er's face. She was only in her early thirties. She told her, "Get up."

"What about that lowly slave?" The woman got up obediently and asked Yun Suyue cautiously.

Taoxiang chimed in, "Sister, the eldest lady agreed."

"Really? Thank you, thank you, Miss." The woman cried with joy and was about to kneel again.

"No more kneeling." Yun Suyue's face turned cold. She raised her head and pointed at the fat madam on the second floor and said, "Remember, from this moment on, you are a member of my Yun family. From now on, you will kneel to heaven and earth, not to these people."

"House slave?" The woman lacked confidence and looked at the fat madam on the second floor with fear.

Yun Suyue knew it would be difficult to change her humble status in a short time, so she pulled her over and grabbed her hand, pointing at the fat madam on the second floor. "If you want to come with me, then stand up straight and loudly tell this woman who has oppressed you for most of your life to pay you back for the money you saved from selling yourself for half your life, as well as your indenture."

Dong Xian'er saw Yun Suyue grabbing her hand and quickly pulled it back in fear, "Miss Yun, no, I have an unclean disease and I can't pass it on to you."

Yun Suyue thought she didn't dare say anything harsh to the madam, but she didn't expect she was worried about getting sick. This comforted her somewhat, "Don't worry, the disease can't be transmitted through physical contact. Now just tell me, do you dare to do what I say?"

Dong Xian'er looked up at the fat madam and began to cry timidly, "I dare not."

Yun Suyue's patience ran out, and she was finally disappointed. She pointed to the second floor and said, "You can cry, but you can't completely lose your self-esteem, because those bastards are laughing at you.

If you can't stand up on your own, even if I give you fine clothes and delicious food, I can't save you. I'm giving you one last chance."

Dong Xian'er's timid eyes looked at the group of people on the second floor who were looking down at her smugly. As if she had mustered up the courage to go to hell, she suddenly raised her rotten face and decisively raised her arm to point at the fat brothel owner on the second floor:

"Fat bitch, return my savings and my indenture to me. If you don't, I'll sue you at the government office."

Yun Suyue smiled, it wasn't hopeless.

Dong Xian'er thought that if she said that, the madam would be cautious, but she burst out laughing. "Hahaha, going to the government office to sue me? Go ahead, you bitch! See if the prefect will care about you."

After saying that, the madam turned around and warned Yun Suyue, "Miss Yun, I know you are from the Yun Mansion and you have opened three stores and are very popular, but there are people behind my Qianhuanlou. Are you sure you want to meddle in other people's business?"

The madam was threatening her.

It would have been fine if she hadn't threatened Yun Suyue, but after this threat, Yun Suyue laughed: "Looking for death! You, an old hen, are worthy of threatening me? Get off my feet!"
