My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Looking into Ji Yunshuang's bright eyes, Lu Yinheng felt he understood her less and less.

"I don't know..."

Seeing the obvious disappointment in her eyes, Lu Yinheng added as if possessed, "However, the relationship between Liu and Lu Duanhuai is indeed unclear."

After he finished speaking, he almost bit his tongue.

Why would he gossip like a busybody just because of a slightly disappointed look in her eyes?

He was certain that in his past life, he felt nothing but hatred and disgust towards her, and absolutely no other feelings whatsoever.

Having been reborn into this life, he clearly intended to kill her to eliminate any future troubles. But in the end, he was always influenced by her.

He lowered his eyes, concealing the emotions within.

Ji Yunshuang had no idea that Lu Yinheng was plotting to kill her again.

With the threat of zombies gone and surrounded by this gossipy atmosphere, she felt like she was back in her college days, surfing the internet and eating gossip.

She relaxed completely, and thankfully, like a close friend, she gossiped with him, "How did you know? Has this already spread throughout your village?"

As she spoke, she rummaged through the original owner's memories again. She discovered that when the original owner was in the village, she didn't seem to have heard any rumors about the two of them.

Just as she was thinking this, someone suddenly tugged at the hem of her dress.

Ji Yunshuang looked down and saw a little boy covered in dirt.

The little boy said, "Dog Three asked me to come and call you."

Upon hearing Gou San's name, Ji Yunshuang abandoned all her gossip and quickly composed herself, ordering, "Lead the way."

Lu Yinheng quickly followed.

The two followed the little boy and soon arrived at a small alley.

Gou San and Zhu Dong'e crouched down behind a pile of junk in the alley, carefully watching what lay ahead.

Seeing Ji Yunshuang approach, Gou San quickly stood up and said, "Big sister, we saw the people buying girls again. That shopkeeper led people into there. We were afraid of being discovered, so we didn't dare go in."

This was the back door of a shop. Ji Yunshuang walked around a few steps to look at the signboard in front.

After seeing the large characters "怡红阁" on the signboard, she frowned. "A brothel?"

If a brothel madam saw this opportunity, she could have her staff select some pretty girls to raise first, and then have them serve customers when they grew up. That would seem reasonable.

But thinking about the number that the all-knowing person had found out, it seemed a bit far-fetched.

After observing the layout of the brothel, she easily climbed up to the second floor with a single leap.

Before Lu Yinheng could stop her, Ji Yunshuang had already climbed in through the window. Gou San and Zhu Dong'e both looked tense.

"Wait here and don't do anything rash," Lu Yinheng instructed, before climbing up to the second floor and going inside.

Ji Yunshuang climbed in through the second-floor window and happened to see a girl applying makeup in front of a bronze mirror. When she saw Ji Yunshuang suddenly appear, she instinctively tried to scream, but before she could even utter a sound, Ji Yunshuang strangled her and made her faint.

Ji Yunshuang glanced at her clothes and guessed that she was a courtesan in the brothel.

She quickly took off her clothes and changed into them, then picked up the eyebrow pencil on the table and did a few simple strokes on her eyebrows.

When Lu Yinheng came in, he noticed her overly revealing clothes and subconsciously frowned.

Ji Yunshuang turned around and saw it was him. She gestured to him, indicating that he should help hide the person.

After pressing several acupoints on the girl's body, Lu Yinheng tucked her back into the bed.

After he had hidden the person, Ji Yunshuang had already found a silk scarf from somewhere and covered half of her face.

“Let’s split up.” Ji Yunshuang leaned close to Lu Yinheng’s ear and whispered, “You’d better change your clothes and go in as a guest to find out.”

After saying that, she left the room like a nimble kitten, leaving Lu Yinheng standing there with a complicated expression.

Despite his complicated expression, he ultimately followed Ji Yunshuang's advice, went out and robbed a nobleman's clothes, disguised himself as a wealthy young master of high status, and went to the brothel through the main gate.

Even when Lu Yinheng was dressed in simple clothes, he exuded an extraordinary aura, let alone now that he had changed into a luxurious outfit.

The brothel madam beamed with joy upon seeing him and greeted him warmly.

Because of his daughter in his previous life, Lu Yinheng hated brothels the most.

As soon as the madam approached, the smell of her perfume filled him with disgust, making him feel like vomiting.

He didn't turn around and leave immediately, but instead used the handle of his fan to block the madam, refusing her approach, while his expression grew even colder.

The madam sized him up, becoming increasingly unsure of what to do, and couldn't help but wonder if some important person had arrived.

Her face was full of smiles as she carefully flattered him, "Sir, is this your first time visiting our establishment? Please, please, take a seat."

As he spoke, he led Lu Yinheng to the best private room in the brothel.

He ordered the waiter to bring the best drinks and invited the girls inside. But Lu Yinheng remained expressionless and unsmiling.

Just as the madam was feeling uneasy, worried that she had offended some important figure by not providing adequate hospitality, Lu Yinheng modestly stated that these girls were too old.

The madam sized him up with her imposing manner, weighed her options, and then reluctantly pushed forward her top courtesan.

"Miss Chu Chu only came to our building last month, and she's not even fifteen yet!"

"Look how supple and radiant your face is! I was originally planning to let it rest for a couple more years, but since the official is here, how about Chu Chu serves you today?"

The madam thought that no man could resist a girl like Chu Chu, but the cold-faced official in front of her only glanced at her lightly before disdainfully looking away.

The madam's face froze. She forced a smile and said a few kind words before hurriedly leaving the room.

After leaving the room, the madam quickly pulled her trusted nanny into her own room and said cautiously, "Quickly send someone to deliver a message to the higher-ups, saying that it seems that the man came to our brothel and is not satisfied with the girls here. See what arrangements they make!"

The trusted nanny broke out in a cold sweat. "No way? Is there a mistake? Why would that person come here?"

The madam said, "I can tell from the clothes he's wearing, the ornaments around his waist, his natural demeanor, his peculiar habits... he has all of these features, so there's no way I'm mistaken."

Hearing her say this, the trusted nanny also felt that it was probably true. She said anxiously, "But he's such a particular person, why would he come here? Won't he be getting impatient waiting for the reply from above?"

Thinking of the customer's cold face, the madam was also full of worry: "What should we do?"

The trusted nanny said, "Didn't we buy a few new ones today? Why don't we send them up first?"

The madam shook her head repeatedly, "How could they be used? Those refugees are filthy, as thin as ribs, and have lice on their bodies. Wouldn't sending them out be an insult to a nobleman?"

Just as the two were getting anxious and frustrated, Ji Yunshuang found the few little girls who had been bought that day in the woodshed of the brothel.
