Wan Qiliang didn't know when he fell asleep. It was already three o'clock in the morning when he woke up. Zuichunlou was open at night anyway, so it was the time for all the girls to catch up on their sleep, but Mother Xu didn't seem to want to let her go. Before she woke up, she vaguely heard Xu's mother shouting at the top of her voice downstairs. She didn't know what she was shouting, but she really heard her name.
After changing her clothes and freshening up, Wan Qiliang slowly walked downstairs. When Xu's mother saw her, she seemed to have seen a savior, "Oh, my sister-in-law, why did you get up at this time? "
Xu's mother couldn't help but complained a little. She had long thought of looking for Wan Qiliang in Baili Ranfeng's box, but she didn't expect that there was no one in the box and she disappeared. She searched around the first and second floors but didn't see her. Every private room on the third floor had a specific owner. Even if she was the madam in charge of Zuichun Tower, she had no right to enter their room privately. In the end, she had to wait quietly downstairs for Wan Qiliang to come out, and returned There's still time for a good time.
"Why is Mother Xu so anxious?" Wan Qiliang felt the glares of the women around her. Almost all of them were full of jealousy and malice. Her arrival did have a big impact on them, but she did not It doesn't belong here, but it's a pity that it still caused public outrage.
"It's not because of you." Xu's mother showed the same money-obsessed look as last night, "Tonight the emperor is hosting a banquet for officials in the palace, and the young master of the Ouyang family has specially arranged for you to perform a dance in front of the emperor." There are a lot of money again. A lot of money was beckoning to her, how could Mother Xu be unhappy.
"The young master of the Ouyang family? I don't know which young master it is?" Wan Qiliang asked deliberately.
"Who else is there? Of course it's Young Master Ouyang Chengxi. He obviously didn't come yesterday, but he didn't expect that your reputation has spread to his ears. To be favored by him is something that others will never be able to cultivate in a few lifetimes. Blessing comes.”
Sure enough, it's him, Ouyang Chengxi, what exactly is your plan? It was her mistake not to teach him a lesson yesterday. She didn't expect him to be so difficult to deal with. Now that she was on his territory, she wanted to see what else he could do.
Wan Qiliang was already a little angry in his heart, but there was a flattered expression on his face, which even irritated several other women who did not get such a good opportunity. Before Wan Qiliang came, Lan Rao was the number one in Zuichunlou. This kind of good thing usually fell on her. However, in this industry, at the age of twenty-one, even without Mei Liang's appearance, many Her mother would not let her attend such an important occasion again, but the sixteen-year-old Qingxi was more likely. She had just arrived at Zuichunlou not long ago. It was said that she ended up here because of her family's financial difficulties. She always carried Xiaojiabiyu with her. His talent and arrogance are probably what Xu’s mother has focused on cultivating during this period, and he will be able to start teaching soon.
"Mom, is it too rash to let her go to the palace banquet when she just arrived and doesn't understand anything?" Lan Rao was unwilling to accept it. He originally thought that it was just a little girl who was a bit fresh, but she didn't. It is really irritating and hateful to think that as soon as she appeared yesterday, she had seduced the souls of several of her subordinates, causing them to think that they were her when they had fun with the guests yesterday.
"That's right, Mom, you can't be so partial." One person's dissatisfaction aroused everyone's rebellious mood. Although they usually look down on one another, at this time, they naturally know which camp they should choose. If Mei Liang is allowed to dominate alone, I'm afraid there won't even be a place for them to stand in Zui Chun Tower in the future.
"Why are you arguing? Why are you arguing? If you are capable, let Mr. Ouyang take a fancy to you. I know that everyone is jealous here. It is better to go back and learn the skills in bed, so that you can grasp the person you have in your hands now. "Mother Xu waved her hand. It was common for these girls to quarrel and quarrel. Normally, she could just turn a blind eye. But if her good opportunity to make money was delayed today, she would It's definitely possible to get so angry that you peel off a layer of their skin.
"Mom..." Lan Rao wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Xu's mother. She had no choice but to shut her mouth and gave Wan Qiliang a jealous look.
She had seen this look so many times that Wan Qiliang had no reaction at all and asked Mother Xu, "Mother Xu, when is the palace banquet?"
Lan Rao made a disdainful sound, as if he was mocking Wan Qiliang for not understanding anything. Wan Qiliang didn't care, but it was best not to do anything behind her back. She was not a soft-hearted master now. Son.
"If you don't ask me, I was so distracted by these little hooves that I forgot to tell you. Come with me, and I will tell you slowly." Mother Xu brought Wan Qiliang to her room, with a look on her face. Somewhat serious.
"Meiliang, you came to Zuichun Building on your own. Let's not say what your purpose is. There are too many guests in this building that you can't afford to offend. If I find out that you have done anything wrong, don't blame me. My mother was ruthless when she found out.”
"Mother Xu, don't worry, I won't do anything that will harm Zuichunlou's interests for the time being." He wanted to give her some power, but unfortunately she wouldn't accept this trick.
"For the time being? What you said is to make things difficult for me, mother." Mother Xu's tone became a little more serious, and her eyes became sharper. Sure enough, she was not just a brothel madam, she also knew how to scare people. trick.
"I'm not from Zuichunlou. If something really happens, Mother Xu only needs to use this sentence to prevaricate." Presumably, with the backing of Ningyan Sect, it will be difficult for Zuichunlou to come up with any big problems. If When the Nightmare Cult is wiped out or disbanded, she should consider her fate.
"How could things be as simple as you think?" Xu's mother sighed. She suddenly felt that Wan Qiliang's current situation was very much like her own before, always so arrogant. Her eyes are higher than her head, but Wan Qiliang has more resources than her, so she will not be defrauded of money and sex like she was in the past, and ended up being sold into prostitution. Fortunately, she met the leader of the Nightmare Cult. , it was he who gave her the feeling of living again, so at that time she swore to be loyal to Youqin Jiatian until the last moment of her life. If she could be twenty years younger, she might become the woman who wanted to become the leader of the cult. , but it’s good to be like this now, at least she can feel that her life is meaningful.
"How complicated is that? If I can do it, I will do it. If I can't do it, just running away is a way of life." Wan Qiliang just wanted to use this conversation to make Xu's mother put down her guard and believe She really didn't mean any harm, otherwise she wouldn't have talked so much nonsense with her.
What she said was really open-minded. If she had had such an understanding when she was young, she might not have had such a miserable experience. Just based on these few words, Xu's mother still couldn't believe her. She had gone too far. What's strange is that there are very few women who take the initiative to enter a brothel, and there is no contract of prostitution between them to maintain the relationship. If Wan Qiliang does something terrible in the name of Zuichunlou, it will be difficult to clean up the mess. Or them? There might be something about exposing the Nightmare Cult. It was all her fault for not thinking carefully at the time. Thinking about it now is like luring a wolf into the house.
"Mother Xu doesn't believe me, and I can't help it. But if Mother Xu knows so many people, she should have some ability to distinguish whether people are good or bad. If I really want to do something, I won't know how to do it now." I sit here and tell you this honestly."
Mother Xu thought about it, she was of no use being suspicious now, if she really didn't trust her, just send a few more people to keep an eye on her secretly, I believe this Mei Liang, a weak woman, can't turn the world upside down no matter what she does, right
"Let me believe you first. If I find out that you lied to me, you will not end well." Xu's mother warned for the last time.
"I understand. Now can Mother Xu tell me about the palace banquet?" Wan Qiliang didn't want to think that something would go wrong.
"There is a banquet held in the fifteenth palace every month. You don't even know about this? Are you not from Yuan and Tang Dynasties?" The guard that finally relaxed came back again. Mother Xu stared at Wan Qiliang, A look like 'just tell me the truth'.
"It is true that I am not from Yuan and Tang Dynasties. To put it bluntly, I came here just to find people."
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"
"Have Mama Xu ever heard of a saying called 'curiosity kills the cat'?" Wan Qiliang said to Mama Xu in a sinister tone, and blew a breath of cool air into her ear, scaring her. His whole body trembled, and his appearance instantly became a little funny.
"At least I'm still a member of Zuichunlou now. If Mother Xu doesn't plan to tell me, if something goes wrong, I will definitely bring Zuichunlou into trouble. Don't worry, Mother Xu."
rest assured? I'm so worried! Mother Xu was so slapped just now that she almost didn't scold her directly, but luckily she held it back. If she saw it right just now, Mei Liang's eyes did flash with a hint of murderous intent, and it was aimed at her, making her really feel There was a chill.
"I said, I said, to put it bluntly, this palace banquet is just a way for the emperor and ministers to communicate emotionally. It is also a blind date meeting for the younger generation. At this kind of banquet, there will always be daughters from various families. Performing on the stage, the emperor who chooses the best will be rewarded, and if the emperor is happy, he can even agree to the winner's request, so I said that you have been blessed for so many lifetimes to be so lucky," Mother Xu said angrily. After talking for a long time, Wan Qiliang finally understood what was going on, but why would Ouyang Chengxi let her attend such an occasion
"Mother Xu, have any brothel girls ever performed at palace banquets?"
"How could it be possible? Of course it's some rich ladies who are trying to steal the show. How can people like us get on that stage?" Xu's mother seemed to have heard some joke and felt that Wan Qiliang's question was a bit unnecessary. .
Hearing Xu's mother's answer, Wan Qiliang finally understood what Ouyang Chengxi's purpose was. Since you are deliberately going against me, I will play this game with you to see who is the final winner.
