The concubine is a man, and the illegitimate son of a divine physician has a spatial ability.

Li gently stroked the exquisite white jade hairpin in her hair, thinking to herself, "Mother, this hollow white jade hairpin is finally going to come in handy..." Her gaze drifted through the window to the distance, her thoughts wandering far away.

As night deepened and all was quiet, only the white snow reflected off the road ahead. Just then, a soft sound of footsteps approached from afar, breaking the stillness of the night.

Dressed in a dark blue robe, Yin Xu walked slowly and steadily toward the entrance of Yiju Courtyard. His steps were neither hurried nor slow, as if each step carried an indescribable air of authority.

As Yin Xu approached, the Yiju Courtyard suddenly became lively. The maids at the gate quickly hung up bright red lanterns, illuminating the entire courtyard as if it were daytime. The red light shone through the paper windows, casting warm and soft shadows.

Inside the house, an old nanny with a beaming face heard the commotion and hurriedly ran to the inner room. She bowed respectfully and excitedly reported, "Madam, the master has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shi, who was practicing calligraphy at her desk, was slightly taken aback at first, then a smile bloomed on her face. She hurriedly put down her brush, not bothering to tidy up the mess of papers and ink on the table, and quickly stood up, taking small, quick steps towards the courtyard. Seeing this, Qi Mama, who was following behind her, quickly grabbed a cloak, followed closely behind, and carefully draped the cloak over Li Shi's shoulders.

When Li finally ran into the courtyard, she immediately spotted Yin Xu standing there. He had a handsome face, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes, exuding a unique charm of a mature man.

In an instant, tears welled up in Li's eyes like a burst dam, streaming down her fair and delicate cheeks. Her slender body trembled slightly, like a flower swaying in the wind, making her all the more endearing.

Li threw herself into Yin Xu's arms, tightly embracing his waist, her voice choked with sobs, and said, "My lord, you've finally come. These past few days you haven't set foot in Yiju Courtyard, and I've lost my appetite and missed you terribly..."

Yin Xu held Li Shi's soft waist and said with heartache in his eyes, "You look so haggard these past few days, Zhenzhen?"

Li was weeping, her face streaked with tears. She parted her lips slightly and said coquettishly to the man before her, "Master, do you know that all women in this world are like delicate, tender flowers? If it weren't for your meticulous love, care, and comfort, and your timely and loving watering like sweet rain..."

No matter how naturally beautiful and charming she is, she will eventually fade away like a flower that no one cares about, gradually losing her vitality and radiance, slowly withering and dying. After saying this, she lowered her head slightly, and a pitiful and sorrowful look appeared in her eyes.

Yin Xu was deeply fond of Li Shi; he admired her methods, her gentle charm, and her willingness to grant his every request. Compared to those daughters of noble families, they were utterly hopeless and utterly uninteresting.

Yin Xu picked up Li Shi and quickly said, "I still prefer Zhenzhen's willingness to grant my every wish..."

Li leaned against Yin Xu's chest and whispered, "Then this lowly concubine will do as you please, Master. You can do whatever you want with me. This lowly concubine will do whatever you say."

Li's thoughts drifted back to the brothel, where she was a courtesan, spending her days dancing, playing music, and performing arts to please men.

But when the madam's gaze fell upon Li, her heart stirred. Li was still young, yet she had blossomed into a stunningly beautiful woman, her face as radiant as a spring flower in full bloom, even more beautiful than the moon and the sun. Moreover, she appeared alone and helpless, as fragile and vulnerable as a flower swaying in the wind.

A wicked thought immediately formed in the madam's mind: she wanted to force Li to work as a prostitute in order to earn more money. However, Li was a strong-willed woman and resolutely refused to comply. Faced with such a stubborn Li, the madam was furious but helpless for the time being.

One night, while Li was fast asleep, the madam quietly summoned several strong men. They crept into the room and pounced on Li, pinning her down. Although Li woke up in her sleep and struggled desperately, she was no match for their strength. The madam then used golden bees she had raised for many years to subdue Li.

Then, the madam walked triumphantly to the bedside and said to Li with a sneer, "Zhenzhen! Although you are still considered a virgin now, once you have entered this brothel, how can you still have any so-called virginity?"

You'd better just obey and get ready to serve customers! With your outstanding talent, beauty, and knowledge, you're sure to become the most beautiful courtesan in our establishment. At that time, you'll have men all over the world to choose from, and they'll all fall at your feet.

Moreover, the venom of those golden bees is incredibly potent; one can't go a day without a man..."

Seeing that Li Zhenzhen wouldn't budge, the madam sneered, "You wretch, just you wait. Let's see how long you can hold out." With that, she tied Li Zhenzhen up, leaving several rough-looking women to watch over her.

For seven whole days, Li Zhenzhen didn't know how she endured it. But even humans have their limits. With all her remaining strength, Li Zhenzhen knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "I was wrong, I'm willing to take guests..."

Before long, the brightly dressed madam entered the room, squatted down, lifted Li Zhenzhen's chin, and said with a smile, "My dear daughter, your mother will take good care of you from now on."

Then she turned to the maid beside her and instructed, "Someone! Quickly go and help this young lady wash up and prepare her meals. Remember, take good care of her and do not neglect her in the slightest. Also, in three days, this young lady will officially begin accepting customers..."

Time passed day by day, and Li Zhenzhen endured another three days of agonizing torment. In total, from the initial imprisonment to the previous seven days, a full ten days had now gone by.

The incredibly precious yet highly venomous golden bees had been used for ten days. At this moment, Li Zhenzhen's body and mind were pushed to the brink of collapse, almost reaching the limit of what she could endure.

It's hard to say whether this was lucky or unlucky for Li Zhenzhen. On the very night she started soliciting customers, the customer who came to patronize her was none other than Yin Xu.

When Yin Xu stepped into the room and first saw Li Zhenzhen, he was instantly captivated by her clear, innocent, and endearing eyes, like those of a fawn. At that moment, an indescribable emotion welled up within him, and he couldn't help but fall for this pitiful woman...
