The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

In fact, Yan Yuelan's operation just failed, resulting in the loss of manpower, so it's estimated that she won't be making any further moves today.

However, just to be on the safe side, I still brought along some bodyguards.

The two deliberately avoided riding in a carriage bearing the insignia of the Marquis's residence, as they were going to a brothel and did not want others to know their identities.

On the carriage, Qin Xiaoyan said to Qin Wanying, "Little sister, the security level of your Tianji Garden is too low. Let Sixth Brother renovate it for you, and I guarantee no one will be able to get in after that."

Qin Wanying's eyes lit up after hearing this.

That's right, Sixth Brother is skilled at making ingenious gadgets, so modifying a house would be a piece of cake for him. I had completely forgotten about it.

"Then thank you, Sixth Brother." Qin Wanying smiled broadly.

Sixth Brother is incredibly skilled; no one in the world can surpass him in creating ingenious mechanisms and gadgets.

Qin Xiaoyan was overjoyed to hear her younger sister's heartfelt words.

Everyone always thought he was wasting his time, except for his younger sister, who knew he was talented and thought what he was doing was very useful.

It was only after his younger sister arrived that his father finally accepted him.

Qin Xiaoyan looked at Qin Wanying tenderly, thinking to herself, "I will definitely renovate your house properly so that no one can break in."

"By the way, Sixth Brother, I'm afraid the enemy might secretly attack our Marquis's Mansion. Why don't you renovate the manor as well?" Qin Wanying said.

Qin Xiaoyan nodded.

The other side has already started making moves.

If they can assassinate my younger sister at Tianji Garden today, they might just storm the Marquis's mansion tomorrow.

The Marquis's residence should also be properly renovated.

The carriage arrived quickly.

The two men got off the carriage.

Qin Wanying looked up at the pavilion in front of her, where the three large characters "Chunfanglou" were written in a flamboyant style on the plaque above the door.

When she arrived at the door, Qin Wanying felt a little embarrassed to go in.

After all, it was her first time in a place like this. And she was a girl.

The madam at the door, dressed in red and green, carrying a handkerchief, saw the two people hesitating at the door and swayed out.

"Sir, don't be shy! Come in quickly!" the madam said, wiping Qin Wanying's face with a handkerchief. Qin Wanying smelled the strong scent of floral perfume.

The two of them were dragged inside by the madam with great discomfort.

The brothel was quite nicely decorated, with beautiful decorative lanterns hanging in every corner and huge red gauze hanging from the beams.

As soon as they entered, the madam recommended girls to them.

Several girls surrounded the two men, practically pressing against them.

This is an ordinary brothel, not a music and dance academy.

Qin Wanying felt that the girls here were...well, let's just say their looks were...unpredictable.

Qin Wanying gently pushed away the girl next to her and said to the madam, "I heard that there is a girl named Xiaohe here who wants to auction off her virginity today."

The madam smiled alluringly: "So you two gentlemen came prepared. The auction is about to begin, please take a seat to the side."

“My brother likes Xiaohe and wants to redeem her from her servitude,” Qin Wanying said.

Qin Xiaoyan was stunned and stared at Qin Wanying.

How did it become that I like Xiaohe? Can't you just say you like her?

The madam looked troubled.

"Gentlemen, as you know, Miss Xiaohe is auctioning off her virginity today. Many gentlemen have come here because of her reputation, and they've been waiting for this day. I can't let you redeem her now."

"If you want to redeem her, participate in the auction first. Win the girl's virginity first, and then pay more to redeem her."

Qin Wanying thought the madam's words made sense, nodded, and sat down at the table next to Qin Xiaoyan.

Several girls also crowded around.

"We don't need anyone else; we're here specifically for Xiao He."

The girls rolled their eyes. "Tch." Then they left.

The two felt a great sense of relief.

The shadow guards also came in, but not through the main entrance. They had plenty of ways to get in; they were probably hiding on the roof beams.

Xiaohe wasn't brought into this brothel through legitimate means, but reporting it to the authorities and going through the proper procedures would take an unknown amount of time. Qin Wanying wanted to get Xiaohe out quickly today, so she had no choice but to bribe her.

The auction began quickly.

The lights that had been off on the second-floor stage came on, and a sheer curtain covered the stage, revealing the silhouette of a woman.

After a moment of silence, the audience erupted in gasps.

"It's starting, it's starting! It's Little Lotus!"

"I came here today specifically for Xiaohe!"

Qin Wanying frowned. It seemed that others had come prepared, which made things more difficult for her.

The curtain was lifted from the outside, revealing the woman's true face inside.

The woman was dressed in green, with delicate features, and looked about the same age as Qin Wanying, with a somewhat youthful appearance.

The woman looked melancholy.

The mother next to the woman said, "It's such a joyous day, who are you trying to impress with that long face? Smile! Smile for the old men!"

The woman forced a smile and reached out her left hand to brush her hair aside.

From Qin Wanying's angle, one could see the cinnabar birthmark on her left hand.

Qin Wanying used her prophetic abilities to take another look. She had lost both her parents at a young age and had a very kind older brother, but they got separated. After many twists and turns, she ended up in a brothel.

It's definitely Qiu He.

Qin Wanying looked at Qiu He's expression and knew that she was not happy.

Looking at Qiu He's past experiences, it's clear that she didn't want to be a prostitute, but she had no choice and was forced into it.

She couldn't help but feel sympathy for Qiu He.

As a modern woman, Qin Wanying felt deeply distressed to see a girl of similar age being auctioned off like a commodity.

"Wow, this is beautiful!"

"There aren't many beautiful women in this Chunfang Pavilion, but Miss Xiaohe is one of them. Before, she only sold her art, but today she's finally selling her body too!"

"The starting bid for Miss Xiaohe's virginity is twenty taels of silver," a girl dressed in flamboyant attire announced loudly from the second floor.

Twenty taels of silver is actually quite a lot. This isn't a brothel, just an ordinary brothel.

"Thirty taels of silver!" someone shouted from below.

"Forty taels of silver!" someone else shouted.

Qin Wanying wasn't in a hurry; she just waited for them to continue calling.

"Fifty taels of silver!" someone shouted.

"One hundred taels of silver!" someone raised the price.

When the hundred taels of silver were presented, a brief silence fell over the entire Fangchun Pavilion.

One hundred taels of silver is already a lot.

Others felt that raising the price further was inappropriate. Spending so much money just to buy the virginity of a courtesan, and not even the top one, seemed really unfair.

Xiaohe glanced at the man who offered one hundred taels of silver. He was old and ugly, obese, and his fat face jiggled when he laughed, almost as if he were about to cry.

I wouldn't give my first time to a man like that!

Xiaohe felt like dying.

Brother, if only you could come and save her...

"Two hundred taels of silver!" Qin Wanying said in a rough voice, raising her hand to increase the price.

The moment he finished speaking, everyone in the room was stunned.
