[Quick Wear] Daily Cleansing of Trash

Chapter 459 Protecting the Best Sister 1

"Madam, Wu Liang is here, and it seems like there's something urgent!"

As soon as 9899 opened his eyes, he saw a girl dressed as a maid coming over and whispering in his ear.

"She's waiting at the northwest gate. Do you want to see her?"

9899 remained calm: "Let her come in!"

The girl bowed and walked out quickly, apparently to call someone.

9899 quickly closed his eyes and absorbed the memory quickly.

Her original name was Zhang Ruxuan. She was from the Great Xia Dynasty and the wife of Qiu Bailing, a cloth merchant in the capital.

In fact, the original body has another identity - the daughter of a criminal.

He was born into a family of officials. His grandfather was a second-rank official, and his father Zhang He was once the Minister of Personnel.

His mother, Cui Yajun, was from the Fengdu Cui family, which was also a well-known local family.

Originally, he had an older brother and an older sister, both of whom were born to the same mother.

My elder brother Zhang Xi was a talented young man and passed the imperial examination to become a scholar at a very young age.

Her elder sister Zhang Rulan is very beautiful and is proficient in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is quite famous among the noble ladies.

As the youngest child in the family, he was loved from the moment he was born.

However, the good times did not last long. When the original body was seven years old, his father Zhang He was unfortunately involved in the vortex of court factional struggles and became a pawn in the hands of his superiors. In the end, his property was confiscated and he was punished.

The male members of the Zhang family were either exiled or beheaded.

The women were taken to the vegetable market and became commodities for anyone to choose from.

Cui Yajun could not bear the blow. On the day the verdict was announced, she hanged herself in prison with a belt, leaving behind the panicked Zhang Rulan and her original body.

At that time, the original body was seven years old and Zhang Rulan was twelve years old.

They were dragged outside by the jailers like animals and displayed for selection by guests from all over the world.

Finally, they were noticed by Mama Cao, the madam of Zuichunlou, and bought for thirty taels of silver.

Once you enter a brothel, there is no reputation left.

Having lost her parents and brother, and with only her young and ignorant sister to rely on, Zhang Rulan quickly faced reality.

But she refused to accept her fate.

Zhang Rulan has been smart and clever since she was a child. The day she entered Zuichunlou, she understood that she and her sister were no longer magnolias hanging high on the branches, but fallen flowers that anyone could despise.

If she wants to survive, she must make good use of her own advantages and let Mother Cao see her value.

Only in this way will negotiation be possible.

Therefore, when facing Mother Cao, Zhang Rulan did not resist like other girls. Instead, she behaved very obediently and did whatever Mother Cao said.

When a decent girl enters a brothel, the first thing she has to do is to have her "cheap bones" beaten out.

Brothel madams will use all kinds of methods that ordinary people can hardly imagine to psychologically break down the girls and make them accept their fate.

Zhang Rulan naturally suffered some hardships, but because she was smart, she was soon noticed by Mother Cao and brought up by her side.

At the age of fourteen, Zhang Rulan accepted Cao's mother's advice and started to "bloom" to receive customers.

In order to protect her original identity, Zhang Rulan did not reveal her original identity, only saying that she was a maid in her former boudoir.

The seven-year-old girl had not yet fully grown, and with Zhang Rulan's special protection, she miraculously did not suffer much under her sister's wings.

Zhang Rulan was born into a wealthy family and was particularly good at playing the piano, which made her very attractive to some pretentious men.

Therefore, after officially receiving customers, she became the top performer in Zuichunlou and became very popular.

There was a brothel owner from another building who wanted to steal her away, so Zhang Rulan deliberately revealed the matter to Mother Cao, using it as a threat and taking the opportunity to redeem her.

Afterwards, Zhang Rulan took the original body to a family she had chosen in advance, and tricked the family into adopting the original body. She also warned the original body to forget the past and live a peaceful life.

Zhang Rulan has a good vision. The adoptive parents she found for the original body are kind-hearted and treat the original body as their own child.

In this way, the two sisters, born of the same mother, embarked on two different paths.

The original body was renamed Li Mingzhu and grew up peacefully in the home of her adoptive parents. At the age of seventeen, she was promised to Qiu Bailing, the young master of a weaving and embroidery workshop, so that she could live a life of luxury.

After the original body escaped from Zuichunlou, she never saw Zhang Rulan again because she didn't want others to know that she had a sister who was a prostitute.

Zhang Rulan, on the other hand, was very concerned about her only sister. Although for the sake of her original body's reputation, Zhang Rulan never appeared in front of her again, she often sent people to give her money in private.

Silver is a good thing. Although the original body disliked Zhang Rulan, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he cried and expressed his longing for Zhang Rulan, which made Zhang Rulan so stupid that she wanted to take out her heart and give it to her.

When the original body got married, Zhang Rulan took out all the money she had saved over the years, totaling one thousand and two taels of silver, and secretly gave it to the original body as dowry.

The original person pretended to refuse a few times, but then accepted it honestly, without thinking at all about how Zhang Rulan would live without any money.

After marrying into the Qiu family, in order to continue sucking Zhang Rulan's blood, the original body would from time to time send maids to give Zhang Rulan some unwanted scraps of fabric from the store, and then cry about the unhappiness of her married life.

Then, Zhang Rulan, who felt sorry for her sister, would take out the personal allowance she had saved for a few days and give it to the original body.

In this way, as the seasons changed, Zhang Rulan grew older and her customers were snatched away by new girls. Fewer and fewer people turned over her card, and in the end she could only accept men that other girls didn't want.

Of course, there were also customers who wanted to redeem her during this period.

However, Zhang Rulan understood that a man's love is like flowing water. When she grows old and loses her beauty, she will no longer be able to attract men, and all she will get is to be sold again.

After all, how can a man who can go to a brothel be a good man!

With more free time, Zhang Rulan read and wrote, made handicrafts to sell, and then did her best to win over a few of the wealthy regular customers.

Out of consideration for the guests, Mother Cao did not treat Zhang Rulan too badly.

However, things are impermanent.

One day, a woman brought several of her men to Zuichunlou, scolded Zhang Rulan for seducing her husband, and beat her severely.

Zhang Rulan tried to persuade the other party in every way, but the other party remained indifferent. She only said that Zhang Rulan must give her five thousand taels of silver as compensation, otherwise she would strip Zhang Rulan naked and throw her into the street for public display.

When Zhang Rulan's maid Wuliang saw that the situation was not good, she hurried to find the original body, hoping that the original body could go and save Zhang Rulan.

The original body was a selfish and ungrateful person. She was too busy distancing herself from him to even come to him on her own initiative.

So when Wu Liang said that, the original body pretended to be frightened and fainted.

Since the original body was "fainted", he naturally could not go to save Zhang Rulan.

Zhang Rulan couldn't come up with the money, so she was stripped naked and thrown into the street.

After this incident, Zhang Rulan could no longer receive customers. Mother Cao disliked her for eating dry food, so she tied her up with a rope and sold her.

When the original body wakes up, everything will be settled.

She held her belly, which had just been diagnosed as pregnant, shed a few hypocritical tears, and then forgot about her sister.
