"What trick is Zhu Yun playing?"
Lin Mengya became more and more confused. "Is Zhu Yun really not afraid that I will secretly run away?"
"This person is really strange. He obviously wants to imprison us. What is going on now?"
Xiu sat on the soft couch, swinging her little feet and muttering with her mouth pouted.
She thought that Zhu Yun was going to harm the three of them. Unexpectedly, he just kept them in the courtyard.
She was so nervous for nothing. It seemed that except for the poison at dinner, he seemed to have forgotten that they were here.
"I also don't know. When I was in Huichun House, the owner didn't often appear. But no one in the house dared to disobey him. No one can understand the owner's mind. "
Even Hongyu, an old acquaintance, didn't know what this guy was planning. Lin Mengya was even more confused.
"Let's go out and have a look. Maybe he has other plans?"
Lin Mengya was not reckless, but she had a strange feeling in her heart.
Hongyu and Xiu naturally followed her lead. Since Lin Mengya suggested it, they would naturally follow her. Moreover, they were now in someone else's territory. Lin Mengya was more afraid that if she was not by their side, what if Zhu Yun did harm to them?
They walked out of the courtyard openly. At this moment, the servants who were hanging at the door just now had all "disappeared" for no reason.
The three of them were cautious at the beginning, but later on, they were all speechless.
Because not long ago, they met a servant in the courtyard and were just trying to find a way to hide. That servant suddenly turned around and walked back the way they came.
If the first one was a coincidence, then the others along the way had clearly seen each other, but they still turned around and left, muttering and pretending not to see each other.
Now, even Lin Mengya, who was quite smart, couldn't handle the current situation.
"What on earth is this guy doing?"
"This is … too strange, isn't it?"
Xiu looked at the empty courtyard in a daze. According to Hongyu, they had almost walked through a small part of the courtyard.
However, not only did no one come out to stop him, but all of them either pretended to be blind or hid like mice that had seen a cat.
At this moment, all the scenarios she had imagined in her mind seemed to be in vain.
"I'm not too sure either. By the way, Hongyu, can you bring us to the place where you trained those girls?"
Don't think that there's going to be a tough battle. Who would have thought that at this moment, she was like a cotton ball, so soft that she didn't have any strength at all.
It was as if Zhu Yun was deliberately opening the door for her.
This person had a strange temperament. First, he forced the three of them to stay here. First, they used plums and poison to test her. Now, they even made the people in the courtyard treat her as air.
Although she didn't know what he was planning, she was sure of one thing.
This person must be in an inconspicuous corner, quietly observing him.
The doubts in her heart grew, but Lin Mengya seemed to have some direction.
Seeing that there was no one around, Hongyu became bolder. As they walked, she told Lin Mengya and Xiu in a low voice what she knew.
The girls who were abducted were divided into three classes, but not all of them were raised in the same place.
Hongyu's status was not as important as Sumei's, so she didn't know much about other girls except for those who needed to be trained.
"Do you know where these girls who have been trained will be sent to?"
After hearing Hongyu's introduction, Lin Mengya realized that what they had heard the night before might be just the tip of the iceberg.
It should be known that the business of abducting and selling girls should have started many years ago.
If this was the case, the number of girls who had been abducted and sold here had almost reached an astonishing number.
Although these girls were inconspicuous, if they were really used for secret transactions, it would be enough to cause a huge uproar.
"Where else can they be sent to? Brothels and other courtyards of various families. I really don't know how many innocent people will be harmed in a year."
Hongyu was deeply touched by these words.
She had been harmed like this since she was a child, so she could empathize with them.
They were supposed to be the daughters of good families, and they were supposed to have different futures.
But once they came here, they would be lonely and miserable for the rest of their lives.
The only thing she could do was to treat these girls better. As long as she could drag it out, she would do so.
Indeed, Lin Mengya had expected this.
People living in the world were nothing more than wine, women, avarice, and temper.
Moreover, some rich and powerful people were most greedy for this kind of youthful beauty.
According to Hongyu, the training of these girls, in addition to the ordinary seduction skills, was targeted at different groups of people and had different training.
In the courtyard, there were at least a dozen flower girls like her. Moreover, they were all famous beauties.
The girls who had been trained by them would probably be difficult for the group of impatient men to resist. But in the end, they could only fall into the arms of a woman and never know when it would be.
Could there only be one such residence in the old capital?
Lin Mengya could not help but feel a chill in her heart. Now, the closer she was to this mysterious force, the more she felt that she had come into contact with a terrifying giant.
If she continued to be rash, it would be no different from hitting a stone with an egg.
Hongyu led Lin Mengya to a small courtyard with ease.
There was still no guard. The moment the three of them entered the neat little room, they saw many little heads looking in their direction curiously.
"Aunt, you're finally here."
When they saw Hong Yu, whom they couldn't be more familiar with, all the pretty girls also ran out of the door like little rabbits.
In an instant, they surrounded the three of them.
"Well, have you all eaten? Did anyone come to make things difficult for you? "
Because of Sumei, the group of young girls led by Hong Yu was treated the worst.
However, Sumei only dared to make a fuss about food and clothes.
Among this group of girls, the oldest was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest was only seven or eight years old.
But they had left their families at an early age and lost the trace of warmth in them. In this way, they became the victims of a conspiracy and ruined their lives for the sake of ambition.
Looking at this group of ignorant girls, Lin Mengya secretly clenched her fists.
What a cruel devil! Sooner or later, she would personally sound the death knell and send it on its way!
"No, it's just that the aunt from the other courtyard came and said that from today onwards, you won't be teaching us anymore. Aunt, we can't bear to leave you. "
A slightly older girl said with some disappointment. In an instant, the girls who were still noisy just now all became silent.
It seemed that Hongyu was sincere in treating this group of girls well.
"I can't bear to leave you. You must cherish yourself in the future. Remember, no matter what difficulties you face, don't give up the hope in your heart. Sooner or later, you'll be free. "
Hongyu really couldn't bear to leave these girls, but her ability was limited.
She could only stay here for a few days.
Looking at those innocent and lovely faces, she couldn't help but feel deeply sad when she thought that one day, they would be covered with helplessness and become tools for flattery.
Hongyu turned around and looked at Lin Mengya. She gently shook her pearly white teeth and knelt in front of Lin Mengya.
"Your Highness, I know this is very difficult for you. But could you, could you "--"
Lin Mengya knew what Hongyu wanted to ask of her without needing to say it.
At this moment, she had never experienced such a deep sense of helplessness.
She wanted to let all these girls out of the sea of suffering.
However, now she was like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, unable to protect herself. If she forced these girls to leave, she would hurt them.
This was not cowardice, but helplessness beyond her reach.
"Humph, she's trapped here and can't get out. How can she have time to care about these useless people? "
While the two were in a dilemma, an arrogant voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Lin Mengya and Xiu looked back and saw a scarlet figure appear at the door of the courtyard.
The corners of his eyes were raised complacently, and his arrogant eyes were as arrogant as before.
It turned out that it was the little servant named Zhu Yan whom she saw in Huichun House.
Sure enough, all her actions were under Zhu Yun's control.
But she didn't know what was his purpose of letting Zhu Yan appear in front of her now.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to my Sister Princess like this. Believe it or not, I'll kill you at any time! "
Seeing that the other party was just a child, he dared to be so arrogant. Xiu couldn't help jumping out and glared at this annoying guy.
Zhu Yan coldly smiled. It was unknown when, but in his hand, there was a sharp curved knife that flashed with a silver light.
A cruel and bloodthirsty smile appeared on his childish face.
However, before he could do anything, he felt as if he had been nailed to the ground by something.
"Don't move. If you want to live, you'd better be obedient. Otherwise, I'll let your intestines and stomach rot, and you'll be tortured to death. "
Xiu's pretty little face darkened. She had long been angry in her heart.
She couldn't act up before because she didn't have a chance. Now this guy who needed to be taught a lesson came to her. Naturally, she would not let go of such a chance.
"You — — When did you put a bug in my chest!"
There was a burst of numbness in her heart.
