Inside Hongxiufang, the room that was once decorated splendidly was now in a mess. Torn gauze curtains and curtains could be seen everywhere. The bed was also in a mess. The bed curtain with a bright red iris pattern that had been hung neatly was completely torn down and fell to the ground. The quilt and other things on the bed were also in a mess.
There was no place to step in the house.
As soon as they came in, the madam screamed in surprise, the veins on her temples bulging. She was so angry that she called the gatekeepers in and slapped them in the face without saying a word: "Are you dead?! The house looks like it's been robbed by bandits, and you didn't even know it?!"
The guards looked at each other in bewilderment. They really didn't hear anything, and they didn't know why the room was in such a state. The madam grabbed them and beat them hard, but they didn't dare to fight back. They could only say cautiously: "We, we didn't hear anything after we took over..."
In other words, something went wrong during the handover period.
The madam's plump breasts rose and fell with anger, and her face became extremely ugly.
But before she could continue to make use of the topic, a man came in from outside, looked around the room, and said in a deep voice: "Is it time to investigate? Go find someone first!"
In such a short time, and with so many people watching in Hongxiufang, it would be impossible for him to get out from anywhere. He must still be in the square!
The madam’s hands hurt from beating them, and she glared at them fiercely: “Did you hear me?! If you can’t find the person, I will skin you alive!”
She drove them all out to find someone else, then changed her expression and rubbed her face: "Boss, I'm sorry, I didn't know the people below were so useless, it's just a delicate little girl, I saw that she was half dead, I don't know why..."
Boss Ma didn't say anything, his eyes were filled with gloom.
He had barely managed to save his life from the mountain stream and had struggled back here. It could be said that he had escaped death by a hair's breadth and could not afford any more mistakes. They had to get rid of Su Yao here.
As for how to solve Su Yao... ..
If something happened to Pang Rou, even if the other members of the Pang family were willing to let it go, Pang Yuan would definitely do everything he could to kill Su Yao.
Therefore, Pang Rou must not make any mistakes in this regard.
He suppressed his anger and looked around the room coldly: "I don't want anything to go wrong again!"
The madam was startled and subconsciously avoided the scary scar on his face, and hurriedly responded with a smile.
At this time, Pang Rou had been running with A Qiu for a while, and was already out of breath, holding her leg and shaking her head: "No, I... I can't walk anymore..."
She heard Aqiu say that Su Yao had something to discuss with her, so she got on a carriage after coming out of the weaving mill. However, halfway through the journey, Aqiu realized that the route was wrong and had an argument with the driver on the spot. Later, they were knocked unconscious by the driver, and when they woke up, they arrived at a magnificent house.
To be fair, even her boudoir in the mansion in the capital was not so gorgeous. She was a little dazed for a moment.
It was Aqiu who grabbed her hand with a pale face and nervously told her that this was Hongxiufang, a brothel.
She was completely frightened and trembling with fear.
What is a brothel? Even if she has never been there, she has heard of it. This place is undoubtedly hell for a decent girl. She actually ended up here and was stunned.
Ah Qiu was still trying to stay calm. Although she was only a little girl, she had lost her parents when she was young and had to sell herself. What had she not seen? Even in the Red Sleeves Shop, when her master's family was still in decline, she had come here many times. Their young master needed someone to serve him, and he thought that she was too young to talk nonsense, so he asked her to serve tea and water in the carriage.
After calming down, Aqiu took her to make some noise, attracting the two guards to come into the room to check. They hid behind the door and smashed the two men's heads with porcelain bottles, then dragged them into a box in the room and hid them. She then ran out with Pang Rou, running towards the back door along the path she vaguely remembered.
But Pang Rou couldn't run any further before she got very far.
And there seemed to be some movement in the building.
A Qiu was extremely anxious, and in desperation he grabbed Pang Rou and hid in the next room.
A girl in the room was drawing her eyebrows. She heard the noise and looked at them with a frown. She was startled when she saw the two of them.
But before she could say anything, Ah Qiu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her: "Girl, please, please be merciful and kind. The girl next to me is from a good family. Please..."
She spoke incoherently, but she kowtowed her head very earnestly. In a short while, her head was bruised.
There was a knock on the door outside. The woman looked at the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at her box.
It was the suitcase she had just gotten. It was very large and could easily hold two people.
A Qiu clasped his hands together and immediately pulled Pang Rou into the box.
Almost at the same time, the door was kicked open with a bang, and several stern-looking men rushed in. When they saw the woman putting on makeup in front of the dressing table, they asked loudly, "Yanzhi, have you seen the two girls? One is bigger and the other is smaller. Have you come in?"
Yanzhi shook her head and laughed: "You can see the end of my house at a glance. Is there any? Can't you see it?"
A few people looked around the room and indeed saw no one, so they went straight out.
There was a lot of noise outside. Yanzhi opened the window and took a look. After a while, she closed the door again and said calmly, "Come out."
Aqiu carefully opened the box, stood up, and kowtowed to her.
Pang Rou had not yet recovered from her shock. She looked at them anxiously, unable to say a word.
Yanzhi ignored her and said in a deep voice, "No need to thank me. It's useless to thank me. I can keep it a secret for you for a while, but it won't do anything. The mother in our neighborhood is not a living Bodhisattva. I don't know where you were caught from, but once you enter the neighborhood, there are only two options. One is to die headfirst, and the other is to live wisely. You can hide here for a while and then leave. If I get caught, I will not have a good ending."
Being able to help in this regard already shows that she has good intentions.
Pang Rou listened in a daze, and then she suddenly felt a surge of courage, and said with a pale face, "If that's the case, I..."
As he was speaking, the noise outside suddenly became louder, as if something had happened.
Yanzhi reached out to stop her and pushed the window open a crack. She was shocked to see people outside running around for some unknown reason.
