When she came to Caiwei Residence again, An Tong didn't need to put on any disguise, and Li Jinxiu specially told An Xin to watch her in order to prevent her from running to the Jinlan Pavilion again.

Because An Tong had handed in invitations a few days in advance, Sha Qianqian deliberately pushed back all the invitations today.When An Tong learned about it, he was flattered: "I thought that Mrs. Sha would never want to see me again and would reject my invitation, but I never thought that I would still see Mrs. Sha."

Sha Qianqian found out that An Tong's address to her had changed. After all, the world generally called these prostitutes "Miss", even An Tong called her this way when they first met her.

The sudden change of address represented a change in An Tong's attitude, and Sha Qianqian had a bottom line in her mind.

"I expected that the little lady would come again, so I have been waiting for it all the time." Sha Qianqian said.

An Tong turned into a sigh: "It's a pity that I'm not a man, I'm afraid I will disappoint Mrs. Sha's wishes."

Sha Qianqian was stunned, and after a while, she pursed her lips and smiled softly. She covered her face with her sleeves, raised her orchid finger in her raised hand, and her movements were natural and not artificial.

"Miss An, it's really interesting, and what she said is also very interesting." Sha Qianqian smiled. She naturally knew that An Tong had deliberately misinterpreted what she said, but it was rare for someone to tease her like this, so she said it truthfully. Laugh once.

"Then let me tell you something more interesting?" An Tong said again, but his expression was a little serious.

She sent An Xin, Shao Ru, Ren Cuirou and others outside, and all of them withdrew together, Shao Ru and others would not have other thoughts in their hearts.

As for what An Tong wanted to discuss with Sha Qianqian, except for her parents, she didn't intend to let anyone know, even if it was a person she trusted, if it was revealed carelessly, what would the Jiang family do if they acted preemptively?

Sha Qianqian restrained her face and asked the others to retreat, leaving only the two of them.

In the hot summer, the breeze blew slightly, and the white gauze curtains swayed gently.

An Tong picked up the teacup, and rubbed her fingertips against the edge of the teacup for a moment. After finishing the draft, she said straight to the point: "I'm here to negotiate a deal with you."

"What business?"

"You help me get rid of the engagement, and I help you get rid of the humble status."

Sha Qianqian was startled, her eyes were rather complicated, and she said immediately: "Although my concubine is a lowly person, I live a very happy life, why does my concubine help Miss Ann?"

"You became famous at the age of 15, and now it's [-] years old. In the past five years, you have won a lot of favors with your talent and appearance. Caiweiju used to be full of people, although it is about the same now, but compared to the first two years, after all, something is worse. Isn’t it? I heard that you felt cold last time, but no one came to visit. It can be seen that Lang’s heart is unlucky. When you grow old, will anyone come?”

What An Tong is talking about is the current situation that most prostitutes have to face. No matter how beautiful they used to be, as time goes by, these people will gradually leave.

There was once a famous prostitute who retired at the age of 24 because her appearance was no longer the same as before.She is already double ten, how many more years will she have?

For well-known official prostitutes like Sha Qianqian, there are many people who spend a lot of money on them, so they don't need to worry about money. The only thing they can't control is their own freedom.Even if it is possible to propose to the government to leave the prostitute's name, whether it is allowed or not is only a matter of the magistrate's thought.

If the An's family can help her get rid of her humble status, she will still have what she has, and she will have a lot of freedom.As for the price to be paid after freedom, it depends on how she views this issue.

"Please concubine Rong think carefully before replying."

An Tong's good words have already been said, and the rest should naturally be left to Sha Qianqian to think about. Of course, according to her parents' words, this is called "before the soldiers". If Sha Qianqian refuses to agree, don't blame the An family for taking action.

An Tong rubbed her face, not letting herself think deeply, because she found that if her parents really wanted to threaten Sha Qianqian, she might not stop her.

She couldn't help thinking, her selfish thoughts were considered vicious, right?Could it be that she really wants to prove her vicious crimes?

When An Tong was about to leave, Sha Qianqian said: "Miss An, don't leave in a hurry, I still have something to say to you."

"Oh? Did you think it over?"

Sha Qianqian shook her head, added a cup of tea for herself, and said: "Recently, the government has cracked down on many private Pubo stalls and arrested many private nesters. Does Miss An know about this?"

An Tong was surprised: "What's going on?"

She thought to herself: "Could it be arranged by parents?"

Seeing her reaction, Sha Qianqian knew that it had nothing to do with her, so she said: "I thought this matter had something to do with Mrs. An. After all, after you inquired about the matter between Hua Yuanwai and the gambling house that day, something happened, so the concubine returned Think……"

An Tong quickly waved his hand: "If you don't mention it, I really don't know about it."

"That's good, I thought I wanted to remind the little lady that Hua Dian is not easy to provoke, but since it has nothing to do with the little lady, then I will take it back!"

Of course An Tong knew that Hua Dian was not easy to mess with. Although the government had shut down many small gambling houses during the government's rectification of gambling houses, Jiang Sheng'an and Xu Shangying were behind him, so it would not be so easy to collapse.

An Tong went to inquire for a while, and got a lot of information, and then sorted it out a little bit, and slowly restored the whole story:

However, it is said that the practice of the gambling house and private nesters to lure the cheaters to Pubo can no longer be hidden, and various rumors are circulating in the streets and alleys.Hearing these rumors, the hooligans who were already cheated and couldn't pay back the money insisted that they were cheated and refused to pay back the money on this ground.

How could it be so easy to dismiss the people in the gambling shop, this man was beaten half to death, all the valuables in his house were looted, and his elderly mother was also frightened and fell into a coma.Under all kinds of blows, he didn't care about offending Hua Dian and sued him in court.

There have been many similar incidents in the past, but there are rumors that Hua Dian is behind the government, and suing the government is tantamount to asking for death, so many people dare not report to the government.Even if he reported to the official, Hua Dian would still do something wrong after the government tried it, making the life of the person who reported to the official even more difficult.

This stranger dared to sue Hua Dian, and he went there with the determination to die, and it happened that the county magistrate needed political achievements, and it was impossible to let Hua Dian continue to blow the wind of Pu Bo, so Hua Dian fell into a big stumble this time.

What's intriguing is that after this incident, someone saw that the sexist didn't look like he was beaten to death at all, but was still walking in and out of Fireworks and Willow Lane in high spirits.

Even though he wandered around under Hua Dian's nose all day long, Hua Dian didn't respond at all, which really didn't suit Hua Dian's temperament.So some people guessed that the sexist was instigated by someone and protected by someone, so he was not afraid of being retaliated by Hua Dian.The reason why Hua Dian is indifferent is because he is on the cusp right now and has to endure everything.

An Tong didn't think it was done by her parents, so it was most likely done by Hua Dian's rival.No matter who did it, anyway, now that Hua Dian is too busy to take care of himself, Jiang Sheng'an and Xu Shangying must restrain themselves a bit, right?

After a while, Sha Qianqian sent someone to invite An Tong, but when An Tong arrived, Sha Qianqian rejected him after thinking twice: "After careful consideration, I feel that Miss An's proposal is not worth my concubine's risk. Such a big risk."

An Tong was a little disappointed, but not discouraged, and asked, "What do you want?"

Sha Qianqian did not answer, but said: "Although my concubine is a lowly person, I have no grievances or enmities with the Jiang Yamen. Besides, we are just playing on occasion. As early as August last year, we have no contact with each other. Miss An wants a concubine." What was done was actually against morality."

"Daoyi..." An Tong said, "From this point of view, Mrs. Sha is indeed noble and pure."

An Tong did not ridicule her, but praised her sincerely. An official prostitute can still uphold morality, but a scholar like Jiang Sheng'an, who is full of poems and books, is full of benevolence and morality, but does some dirty things. She is more virtuous than them .

"Why does Miss An have to divorce Jiang Yanei through this method?"

An Tong said frankly: "It's hard to get off a tiger."

An Tong understands that Jiang Sheng'an wanted to withdraw the engagement, but he was unable to do so because of the obstruction of the Jiang family. However, once An's family voluntarily withdraws from the engagement, it will not only lose face for the Jiang family, but the An family will also lose its prestige in terms of credibility and morality, and will not be able to lift up the marriage in the future. start.

But if neither party mentioned the divorce, then what she would face would be to be killed by the person who wrote it.

What if she was allowed to disregard the An family's reputation for her own safety?But, this incident was not her fault, why did she wrong herself and her parents and satisfy Jiang Sheng'an?

The "arrow of death" is already on the string and has to be fired.So An Tong thought, Sha Qianqian can only leave it to his parents to deal with.

Sha Qianqian saw that An Tong only said "riding a tiger is hard to get off" without any explanation, and after careful consideration, she understood that there must be some secret of the two families, which cannot be explained to outsiders.

In fact, it's not that she can't help An Tong, but she also understands that even if she regains her freedom, the Jiang family will definitely not let her go.If the Jiang family took advantage of the situation and let her become Jiang Sheng'an's concubine, would her life be easier?

Whether it's out of morality or her own situation, she can't agree to An Tong.

"Since Mrs. Sha is unwilling to do this business, then I will leave." An Tong said.

"Slow down." Sha Qianqian sighed, her expression a little cold.

An Tong didn't know why her expression changed, but she only heard Sha Qianqian say: "As Miss An said, 'riding a tiger is hard to get off', and now my concubine is also riding a tiger, so I have to promise you."

An Tong was surprised: "Why did Lady Sha suddenly change her mind?"

"As early as when my concubine sent someone to invite Miss An, someone told my concubine that if I don't want the Chinese staff to know that the destruction of his business has something to do with Caiweiju, then I'd better listen to you." Sha Qianqian Some cold.

"This—" An Tong was a little confused, but soon thought of his parents.

"The concubine suspected that it was Mrs. An who came to visit my concubine on purpose, but when she turned her head, someone threatened her. But after thinking about it carefully, Mrs. An's attitude is quite sincere, and she doesn't seem like a person who can do such a thing , and you know nothing about the affairs of the Chinese outsiders, so I know it's not you."

An Tong was puzzled instead: "Why did that person tell you that the livelihood of the foreign staff is related to Caiweiju?"

"That day, Miss An asked about the livelihood of the Chinese staff, and not long after, the related private nests were wiped out. Does Miss An think it has nothing to do with Caiweiju?" Sha Qianqian asked, she really overestimated An Tong's IQ.

After An Tong asked her good sister about these things, she arranged for her to hide first. Fortunately, this matter did not reach Hua Dian's ears, otherwise her life would be really sad.But going on like this is not an option, since there is a fifth person who knows, it will reach Hua Dian's ears one day, and she has to make plans for the future.

An Tong went home and asked Li Jinxiu about it. Li Jinxiu admitted it, and she couldn't help being a little annoyed: "Auntie, I said this, please allow me to convince her first, if we threaten her, then we are fighting with a treacherous villain." Is there no difference?"

Li Jinxiu didn't think there was anything wrong with her move: "Tong'er, you have already tried to convince her, and I gave her a few days to think twice. Unfortunately, the effect of her thinking twice was not obvious, so I had to go down again." A strong medicine. This is also for her own good, at least we can ensure that she can hide for a period of time after regaining her freedom, otherwise, when Hua Dian finds out about her, she will have no choice but to die in the end."

An Tong knew that what Li Jinxiu said was right, but she always felt that she had betrayed her promise, so she had to tell herself that anyway, she planned to "be polite first and then fight later", so Li Jinxiu just did it earlier and saved a lot of time.

"Then how did you know that the matter of Huadian is related to Caiweiju?"

"After you told us about Hua Dian's collusion with the private nest after you came back that day, I thought that this matter is inseparable from what you told us when you came back from Jinlan Pavilion for the first time, so I said Let people go and blackmail Sha Qianqian."

An Tong gasped, her mother is the real vicious female supporting role, right?Bah, how could she say that about her mother-in-law!

However, Li Jinxiu thought that there were only four people who knew about this at the beginning, and it was impossible for the two from Caiweiju to tell the story. According to her daughter's temperament, she might not do such thankless things , so most likely...
