Chapter 15 I Worked as a Madam in a Brothel 2
At this crucial plot point, Qingmo's idea is to just cut it off, cut it all off.
These two are such scoundrels, they're obsessed with love.
But that won't work. The system said that once the male and female protagonists of the small world are killed, the small world will collapse and restart, falling into an infinite loop.
It's not that the male and female leads can't be killed, but half of her luck must be consumed first. At this point, even if the female lead is killed, it won't have any impact. If one female lead dies, a new female lead will be born.
This is really troublesome. Qingmo's head is a little itchy again. Brains don't grow brains. Could the original owner have had lice?
I went to the advanced space to wash my hair and take a bath, but Qingmo insisted on soaking my hair in the spiritual spring water for half an hour before I could start washing. It was so itchy, oh my god!
Feeling refreshed after a good wash, time to deal with the female lead. Damn love-struck fool, fine, I'll grant your wish, respect, blessings, and lock her in.
Qingmo is no kind person. Although her task only requires her to lie dead, if she doesn't cause trouble, others are very likely to mess with her.
The first to strike wins, the last to strike suffers. The Holy Mother has to die first. She doesn't want to die, so she asks someone else to die instead.
Qingfeng Tower has three floors. The first floor has a large hall for song and dance performances, as well as many seats for casual guests. The second floor is for male prostitutes, and the third floor is for female prostitutes. There are many private rooms on the second and third floors, all prepared for guests.
Behind the first floor is a large courtyard. The pimps, servants, and maids who do odd jobs all live in the back courtyard. Qingmo also lives in the back courtyard and is on her way to the woodshed.
Two pimps were guarding the door. When the door was opened, a man and a woman were seen huddled together, their hands and feet bound and their mouths gagged with strips of cloth.
The female lead is indeed beautiful, deserving of the title "stunning beauty," and she looks like she's about to cry. It's a pity that Qingmo is a woman.
Qingmo couldn't understand it. Although the female lead was a courtesan, she was a pure and innocent woman. There were plenty of young noblemen and noblemen in the capital who wanted to become her lovers.
Why did she have to fall for this pretty boy? She must be blind.
"Rui Rui, what do you have to say? I have never treated you badly, and I have never forced you to take in someone you didn't want. If you want to leave, you can redeem yourself from me. Why did you elope with this poor scholar?"
Qingmo looked heartbroken, as if she had been betrayed, and glared at Bai Ruirui with anger at her lack of self-respect.
Bai Ruirui: "Mother Qing, I... I just wanted to stay with Zhang Lang forever, but I didn't have enough money to redeem myself, so I resorted to this. Please, Mother Qing, let Zhang Gongzi go. It's all Ruirui's fault, it has nothing to do with Gongzi. Please, Mother, let Zhang Gongzi go."
Of course, she didn't have enough money. Although she was the most popular courtesan, she didn't sell her body. Most of the money those wealthy young men spent on her went to the brothel as a cut.
Most customers would offer gold and silver jewelry to win a smile from the beauty, but that was far from enough. The redemption fee for the top courtesan in the capital was naturally very expensive.
Looking at Bai Ruirui kneeling on the ground, pleading with her, her face streaked with tears.
Zhang Ran, standing beside her, simply looked at the female lead with a sorrowful expression, without saying a word.
Qingmo just sneered, utterly disgusted. She didn't say anything, but had someone bring over a chair and sat there watching the female lead plead incessantly.
She kept taking the blame upon herself, saying it was all her fault, begging her to let Zhang Lang go, and even kowtowing repeatedly.
Zhang Ran stood to the side, feeling sorry for the female lead.
"Rui Rui, stop kowtowing, stop talking. It's not your fault, it's not your fault. Don't beg her anymore. Seeing you like this breaks my heart."
The repeated phrases were heartbreaking, which made the female protagonist feel a pang of sympathy.
Having found a loving husband in this life, I am willing to die for him, and I am even more motivated to kowtow.
What? What did you say?
Cockroach? Cockroach = Zhang Lang
Female lead, are you trying to make me laugh to death by inheriting my Alipay account?
Qingmo watched them perform with great interest for half an hour.
She sighed, "Alas, priceless treasures are easy to find, but true lovers are hard to come by. I envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals. Enough, enough, a forced marriage is never sweet."
"Alright, stop kowtowing. Go with him. You two are also a pair of star-crossed lovers. Who hasn't had a crush in their youth? Sigh, I'll take your place. Be careful from now on."
Qingmo emphasized the last sentence, gave Bai Ruirui a meaningful look, and then left.
Even after leaving Chunfeng Tower, the female protagonist still looked incredulous.
Did Mother Qing really let them go and return the indenture to her? Was it so easy? Was she moved by her feelings for Zhang Lang?
The female lead smiled happily, leaning on Zhang Ran's shoulder, unaware of Zhang Ran's gloomy expression beside her.
Qingmo stood by the second-floor window, watching the two figures leave. Ah, love truly makes even water taste sweet.
Of course, she wasn't a saint and wouldn't let the female lead take her away. She said that the money she had earned in the past two years would be considered as the female lead's ransom.
She wanted to see what kind of life the penniless heroine and the poor scholar could live together, for poverty-stricken couples face endless sorrows.
Qingmo specially assigned someone to secretly follow the female lead and report back to her every now and then.
She helped the female lead this time, so she can't still hate her, right?
The male and female leads will probably still end up together, but there will be some twists and turns along the way. If you want to deplete their luck, you can't let them have it all smooth sailing.
The male lead will return to the capital in six months. It is at Chunfeng Tower that he meets the female lead. After the female lead is cheated out of her money and body by the scholar, it is unknown whether the male lead will still love her.
There's plenty of time ahead, huh? Qingmo smiled sinisterly, looking a bit like a villainous supporting character. She might be about to rise in status, hehehehe...
Brothels are closed during the day, but brightly lit and filled with decadent luxury at night.
Qingmo returned to her room and found the original owner's money. All she could think was, "Holy crap!"
They only found 2 taels of silver notes and a small box of jewelry. The original owner, being love-struck, gave all the money she earned to Prince Duan. After deducting expenses, Chunfeng Tower earned at least tens of thousands of taels a month.
Her little bit of money, it breaks my heart.
Hmph, I'll just leave it with that scumbag for now; I'll get it back sooner or later.
He put all the original owner's money, the more than three thousand taels of silver he had taken from the female lead, and a box of jewelry into his space, and then went into the space to cultivate.
I left the space at night. This body should have three spiritual roots, which is slower to cultivate than the two spiritual roots in the previous world, but a little faster than the original body.
This world has a tiny bit of spiritual energy, not enough for cultivation, but magic can be used.
She can't replenish her spiritual energy, but that's okay, she has some in her cultivation room.
Around 4 or 5 pm, the brothel opens its doors, and the girls get ready. They officially start welcoming guests at 6 pm, with peak customer flow after 8 pm. They close at 1 am, but many guests stay overnight and leave the next day.
As a brothel madam, Qingmo also needs to entertain guests. Basically, she welcomes and sees off some young masters and makes arrangements for them. People without any background are not worth her attention.
Given Qingmo's age and appearance, it's no surprise that many men have designs on her, but they all know that Chunfeng Tower has powerful backers.
She wields immense power and is generally considered too powerful for ordinary people to offend, so no one dares to provoke her.
Although Prince Duan didn't care much about this mistress, she could help him make money.
Moreover, his woman is not someone else's place to covet.
