Liu She's eyes darkened and he ordered, "Bring her to Lanting. She will handle it."
Hearing that Liu She was going to hand the girl over to Liu Xi, the confidant's face suddenly became bitter. He stuttered and hesitated.
Liu She saw the situation and said, "Just say what you want to say. You don't have to hide half of it."
"I didn't mean to hide it. It's just that … I heard from the master that you want to hand the girl over to Langjun. I don't think it's appropriate …" The confidant hesitantly moved closer to Liu She and finally said what was on his mind. "That girl's identity is not clean. If Langjun's temperament changes, I won't be able to absolve myself of the blame …"
Liu She immediately understood the meaning of the confidant's words. His expression suddenly became very interesting. He hesitated for a while and said, "Follow me."
The confidant followed Liu She's footsteps and carefully kept a step away from him. He lowered his head and hands, not daring to look around.
"Tell me in detail. What's wrong with the girl's identity?"
Although Liu She had guessed it, he still had to confirm it.
The confidant knelt down. There was no one around, so there was no need to worry about eavesdropping.
"The girl I found is 14 years old. Her mother is a lowly prostitute. Her father is unknown."
The confidant was very helpless. They had secretly searched for the girl based on the portrait Liu She had given them. The girl was the most similar in appearance and temperament. Although the other candidates were clean, they were not as similar. After thinking about it, the confidant recommended the girl.
"Lowly prostitute?" Liu She furrowed his brows. He was very unhappy with the identity. "Has she received guests before?"
He wasn't sure what his daughter wanted to do, but he knew that the girl he found was probably a honey trap.
The confidant's expression twisted and he said carefully.
"Master, you also know that prostitutes … usually live in shameful slums. Most of the customers who come and go are peddlers and hooligans. Women who grow up in such places are unlucky. At the age of five or six, they are … not to mention, that person is already fourteen."
Liu She's face darkened when he heard the confidant.
"Bring the girl to Lanting and let her make a decision. Continue to investigate secretly and see if there are more similar and suitable candidates. "
The confidant took the order and bowed and left.
Liu She sat where he was, immersed in the shadows of the room.
After a long time, he seemed to have understood something. He held his forehead with one hand, and his expression seemed to be smiling yet not smiling, crying yet not crying. It faintly carried a trace of pleasure of being about to take revenge, which washed away his usual gentleness, and his whole body was surrounded by a cold and poisonous aura.
"So what if she's the daughter of a prostitute?" He seemed to be listless as he murmured in a low voice. His voice was suppressing the viciousness that made one shudder. It made one's hair stand on end. "In the future, if I wear that face and use that body to turn Dongqing upside down, then that's what I call delightful!"
Acao was born in the slums of the poor.
On the day of her birth, it was snowing heavily. Many of the adults froze to death, but she survived.
Her mother was a prostitute, and now she was also a prostitute, and a prostitute under her mother.
What was a prostitute?
The lowest of prostitutes could be casually used for three to five copper coins.
Even though she was scared to death, in order to survive, she had no choice but to feign civility and serve them well.
Otherwise, not only would the customers not let her go, but the brothel keeper above her, her mother, would also not let her go.
She was always dressed in ragged linen clothes that had been washed and patched. Every day, she had to clean the house, wash the clothes, wash the dishes, and cook. She had to serve the madam and the other prostitutes until they were comfortable. Then, she would lie on the tattered mat and wait for one customer after another.
When she was a child, she was carelessly taken advantage of by a few ruffians and lost her virginity. Her mother beat her like crazy, and then forced her to accept customers and inherit her mother's business. She lived in a muddle. Over the years, she did not know how many children were beaten.
She had only lived for 14 years, but she felt that she had lived more than half of her life.
Even though she was born beautiful, she now had a lot of white hair. Her face was haggard, and her eyes were sunken.
She thought that this was the end of her life, but she did not expect to be taken away from the slums by a man dressed in a very powerful outfit two days ago.
She knelt on the ground, trembling, and her skinny body trembled like a sieve.
Her whole body wished she could lie on the ground, and she did not dare to look around.
After waiting for a long time, the sound of a paper door opening came from behind her, and unfamiliar footsteps walked past her.
After a rustling sound, the person sat directly on the seat of honor.
"What's your name?"
Judging from the voice, the person should not be old, maybe even younger than Acao.
She had heard many hoarse voices and all kinds of malicious yelling, but she had never heard such a clear and peaceful voice.
Her body trembled uncontrollably, and Acao felt that her mouth was not hers anymore. She even forgot the instinct to open her mouth to speak.
Seeing her behavior, Jiang Pengji was not in a hurry to say anything. Instead, she asked Taxue to serve tea and drink it to calm her nerves.
The audience in the streaming room had long been looking forward to it. They did not know what the streamer was up to.
Who was so important that she would leave behind the remaining chessboard and the young man Feng Jin, and come over so quickly?
Looking at it now, it did not seem to be much.
Laosiji Lianmeng: "I feel that the streamer would not do unnecessary things. She attaches so much importance to this person. Her identity must be very powerful."
Tusiji Zhiwu: "# laughteehee. Maybe she is the streamer's younger sister who is stranded outside."
Yin Yuejia Zhuge Qinmo: "There are no clues. I can't guess the streamer's intentions. I'd better get a small stool and watch slowly."
After waiting for a while, Jiang Pengji felt that the other party's emotions had stabilized, so she asked again.
"What's your name?"
Acao's ears were flushed, and she felt a sense of inferiority that she could not wait to crawl into the ground.
"My name is Acao."
Although Acao did not sound nice, it was a proper name.
"Acao?" Jiang Pengji heard it and asked again, "Do you know who asked you to come here?"
Acao's thin and weak body trembled, and she said in a low voice like a cat, "I don't know. I vaguely remember that it was a master."
For Acao, people who were neat and tidy were considered wealthy. She had never seen the clothes worn by Liu She's confidant.
Such a dignified person could be considered a master.
Jiang Pengji asked again, "Then do you know why you are here?"
Acao bit her lower lip, and there was a little embarrassment on her thin and weak face.
Only then did she slowly sit up straight with her head hanging down. She put her hands on her waist and pretended to pull off the belt around her waist.
If it was on a normal day, Acao would at most be wrapped in a tattered dress, and she would wear nothing underneath.
Because she was poor, she could not afford to wear it. Besides, it was useless for a prostitute to wear clothes. In the end, she would have to strip naked to serve others.
Liu She's confidant brought her back and asked the maid to prepare a complete set of clothes for her. She washed it from head to toe with soap several times.
