Qin Yining nodded with an indifferent expression, as if he didn't care if Zhao Wanjin was crippled or killed. He stood up and brushed his sleeves, then took the cloak and draped it over his shoulders. He turned to Zhao Wanjin and said: "Let's go."
"Yes." Zhao Wanjin and Zhao Yinuo took the lead in answering.
Yu Shifang's face was deathly pale, and she closed her eyes in despair.
She hadn't succeeded in calling for help, but she didn't expect these people to beat up Young Master Gao, and it looked like they had beaten him quite seriously.
Librarian Gao doted on Young Master Gao and obeyed him without any principles. If he knew that Young Master Gao had come to Yi Cui Pavilion to look for her, and that he had gotten into an argument because of her, needless to say, she and her sister didn't need to live anymore.
Yu Shifang was so desperate that she didn't know what to do. At this moment, she couldn't even shed tears.
Could it be that this was the fate of her and her sister?
If they were really destined to go to this step, why didn't they let them go with their parents from the beginning? Instead, they left them to suffer all kinds of suffering in the world, with no one to help them. What did they do wrong?
At this moment, Yu Shifang's mind was completely filled with despair. She didn't dare to have any hope for Qin Yining and his group.
Who knew that in the blink of an eye, someone would lightly pat her shoulder.
Yu Shifang turned around sluggishly and met a pair of gentle eyes.
"You …"
"What's wrong?" When Qin Yining saw Yu Shifang's lifeless appearance, he couldn't help but worry. "Aren't you coming with us to see the procuress and redeem your sister?"
Yu Shifang was stunned. Her ears buzzed, and she didn't regain her senses for a long time.
"You, you mean …"
"Come with me." Qin Yining smiled. "Don't tell me you want to stay here with your sister?"
"No, of course not! But how could you … "
"Believe me, I won't harm you." Qin Yining comforted her with a smile, as if he was comforting a frightened rabbit.
Yu Shifang's dim eyes suddenly lit up. Although she didn't know who this person was, since she dared to say such words, it meant that she wasn't afraid of Young Master Gao. After all, this was the old capital. What kind of officials and nobles weren't there? Perhaps she was a young miss from some family who had come out to play.
Yu Shifang looked at Qin Yining expectantly, as if she was afraid that she would go back on her word.
Qin Yining shook his head and nodded at Zhao Wanjin and Zhao Yinuo.
The two brothers immediately understood, and immediately sent for the procuress.
The brothel keeper was sitting in the corner of the hall on the first floor, drinking hot tea and sulking.
In this line of work, what they feared the most was to be involved in the disputes of high officials and nobles. If they were not careful, they might not be able to continue doing business. Today, a customer had beaten up the local tyrant's son. In the end, their restaurant might be the one to suffer. It was even possible that they would be ordered to close down.
"What sin have I committed?!" The brothel keeper sighed. She picked up her pipe and wanted to smoke, but in her frustration, she couldn't pack the tobacco properly. She was so angry that she threw the pipe to the side.
There was still a commotion in the hall. Many people had seen the scene of everyone working together to lift the door plank to send Young Master Gao to the hospital. At this moment, most of the people were discussing this matter.
Zhao Wanjin went downstairs and found the brothel keeper in the corner.
Seeing Zhao Wanjin's somewhat amiable face, the brothel keeper immediately recalled how this person had shown off his might upstairs. She couldn't help but tense up in fright. Her lips trembled as she asked in a trembling voice, "What's the matter?
"This … Sir, what can I do for you?"
"Follow me." Zhao Wanjin said, then turned around and walked up the wooden stairs.
The brothel keeper was so nervous that she stood there in a daze for a long time. She thought about the consequences if she didn't follow him. Then, she hesitantly lifted the hem of her skirt, swayed her hips, and slowly walked up the stairs.
When she arrived at the private room, she saw the mess on the floor.
The brothel keeper was even more nervous. When she met the gaze of the handsome young master sitting in the middle, she didn't dare to look at him. She lowered her eyes and bowed: "Sir, if you need anything, please let me know." This person didn't look like a good person, but Yi Cui Pavilion was full of women. He wouldn't make things difficult for women, right?
Qin Yining put his arm around Yu Sifang's waist with a sullen face and let Yu Sifang sit next to him.
Zhao Wanjin said: "Tell me, how much is the ransom for Miss Lamei and her younger sister?"
The brothel keeper looked at Zhao Wanjin. She had already imagined many guesses in her mind. She rolled her eyes and said: "Aiyo, sir, your eyes are really good."
Giving a thumbs-up, the brothel keeper boasted: "This Miss Lamei and her younger sister were all taught by our Yi Cui Pavilion with a lot of money. Miss Lamei has grown up well and is a rich young lady. Her younger sister is just the right person.
She is of the right age to teach. I really can't bear to let them go. "
This was the plan of having a glib tongue. She lowered the price.
Zhao Wanjin sneered and grabbed the brothel keeper's neck.
"You old thing, you're also not a good person. Looking at you, I'm afraid you've forced women into prostitution many times! Today, I'll kill you to get rid of evil for the people. Let's see if you're still sensible or not! "
The brothel keeper was so scared that her face turned pale. She grabbed Zhao Wanjin's sleeves with both hands and made a "ha, ha" sound. She rolled her eyes and tried her best to say: "I, I'll let them go. I, I, am sensible, sensible!"
Zhao Wanjin flung her away and sneered: "It seems like you're not too stupid. Why haven't you brought Miss Lamei's younger sister here yet!"
"Yes, yes." The brothel keeper turned around and ordered the pimp who was hiding at the door and watching the show.
The pimp was so scared that his calves were about to cramp. After receiving the order, he hurriedly went to find the person. Not long after, he brought back a beautiful little girl wearing a green satin jacket, with two red palace flowers in her hair.
The little girl was only eight years old. She was clearly frightened. After entering the door, she didn't even dare to raise her head. She was shivering in the corner and didn't notice her older sister at all.
When Yu Sifang saw her younger sister like this, she sobbed and quickly went forward to hug her younger sister tightly.
"It's okay. Don't be scared. It's okay!"
Yu Sirui was hugged by her older sister. After a long time, her eyes regained their clarity. She cried out in surprise and fear. She only knew how to call out to her older sister.
When Qin Yining saw the two of them like this, a smile appeared on his face.
Zhao Wanjin pushed the brothel keeper away and respectfully invited Qin Yining to go first.
Qin Yining walked in front with a cold face. Zhao Wanjin, Zhao Yinuo, and the other brothers led Yu Sifang and her sister out.
They didn't pay the money to redeem themselves and just took them away. However, the brothel keeper didn't dare to stop them. When they were far away, she finally dared to cry out loud: "Aiya!"
When the guests in the building heard this, they pushed open the window and shouted: "Who is it? Are you crying at a funeral!" As they spoke, they threw their teacups.
The brothel keeper covered her mouth and didn't dare to cry anymore. The pimp and the other girls hurriedly smiled and apologized.
