Ever since Zou brought the Lou father and son to their house for no reason and made a scene, deeply hurting the feelings of Zheng Huaiyu and Zheng Fenghui, she has repeatedly sent messages to the brother and sister in private, hoping to meet with them, but Zheng Huaiyu and Zheng Fenghui ignored her.

Zou was obviously afraid that the siblings really held a grudge against her, so she couldn't wait to have face-to-face communication with Zheng Huaiyu and Zheng Fenghui under the guise of visiting the sick.

Gu Qinlan said firmly, "We rejected Zou's request and announced to the public that the eldest lady was not fit to receive guests. We ordered the servants to carefully tidy up the old lady's courtyard to welcome her glorious return home."

Jiang Ye suggested: "Perhaps we should send someone to inform the old lady so that she can be prepared."

Gu Qinlan shook her hand gently and responded calmly: "No need to do that. She can't keep secrets. Once you tell her, it's the same as announcing it to everyone. Wait until she returns to the mansion, and then tell her."

At this moment, she had only one urgent wish in her heart: to hope that the Jin family could successfully find Zheng Huiyi within three days.

……

Zheng Huiyi looked haggard, curled up in a corner, and there were only her and two other women in the room, one of whom was Miss Zhao who had revealed the truth to her earlier, and her accent was very different from that of the locals. The other, Miss Wei, spoke authentic local dialect.

The other girls have all been picked up by Mother Luo.

As the sun sets, sunlight shines through the narrow windows, casting an even thicker layer of gloom over the hearts of the three women.

Miss Wei asked desperately with tears in her eyes: "What should we do? They will come to select again in a while. I don't want to be taken away, but I don't want to die even more. What should we do?"

Miss Zhao remained silent, closed her eyes, leaned against the wall, and clenched her fists.

Although Zheng Huiyi did not respond to Miss Wei's question, she had already made up her mind.

As the night deepened, the already dim little room became even darker.

Zheng Huiyi was closely attached to the two girls, Zhao and Wei.

According to the pattern of the past few days, Mother Luo will appear again soon to select a woman.

Now, they are the only three left. Maybe they can be spared temporarily today, but what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?

Miss Zhao said in a desperate tone: "When Mother Luo comes again later, I will offer to follow them. This is the only thing I can do."

Zheng Huiyi burst into tears: "Sister Zhao, what are you going to do? Don't do anything stupid!"

She knew very well that Miss Zhao came from a prominent family and could not accept her fate of becoming a prostitute.

Miss Zhao smiled bitterly: "In this situation, what choice do I have? Rather than being humiliated and living a life worse than death, I would rather choose to leave cleanly. At least I can keep my innocence, and maybe I can have a good place in the next life."

When Miss Wei heard this, she covered her face and cried in grief.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door. Zheng Huiyi subconsciously held Miss Zhao's hand tightly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

Miss Zhao, despite the threat of death, smiled easily as if it were a daily routine and gently patted her shoulder: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The door creaked open, and Mother Luo led her men in, each holding a flickering lantern in their hands.

Miss Zhao slowly pulled her hand out of Zheng Huiyi's grasp and stepped forward: "Then go with you."

Zheng Huiyi stood up in a hurry and firmly blocked Miss Zhao behind her: "How can this be possible!"

As the daughter of the Zheng family, how could she be so afraid of death and hide behind others!

Mother Luo glanced at them coldly and said sarcastically, "Do I need you to decide who I want to take away?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her head, her eyes fell on Miss Wei, and ordered her men, "Let's pick her."

Immediately, one of the men stepped forward and roughly grabbed Miss Wei.

Miss Wei screamed in fear and struggled desperately. She suddenly pushed Zheng Huiyi out and said in a trembling voice, "Mother Luo, take her away. I... I am not feeling well. Please don't disturb the guests anymore. Give me two days. When I recover, I will help mother to receive guests."

Zheng Huiyi was caught off guard and was pushed, staggering. Her head hit the wall hard and her forehead cracked instantly.

Blood gushed out immediately.

Seeing this, Mother Luo was so angry that she raised her hand and gave Miss Wei a loud slap: "Bitch, you hurt her head, do you want to ruin my good deeds?"

Miss Wei was hit so hard that she saw stars and begged for mercy with tears streaming down her face: "I'm sorry, Mom. I really didn't mean it. Please don't hit me anymore. How can I receive customers if you hurt me?"

Mother Luo was extremely angry, but she did not attack again. She grabbed Zheng Huiyi and carefully examined the wound on her forehead.

There was a thumb-sized wound on her forehead. Mother Luo was so angry that she glared at Miss Wei fiercely, then turned to her subordinates and ordered, "Go get some gold wound medicine and scar removal ointment."

After the arrangements were made, she gently pinched Zheng Huiyi's cheek, and said with a hint of comfort: "Don't worry, Mom won't leave any scars on your face."

Zheng Huiyi turned her head away, ignoring Luo's mother's kindness.

Not wanting to leave a scar on her face may not have any good intentions behind it!

Mother Luo didn't care about her indifference. She had already expected that in this place, no matter how hard the bones were, she would have a way to soften them.

She signaled her men to drag Miss Wei out, and then said to Zheng Huiyi and Miss Zhao, "Don't be stupid anymore. Living is better than dying. With your looks, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in the future."

After she finished speaking, she said to one of her men, "Bring the medicine and let them take it."

In an instant, a thug came hurriedly over with a medicine bottle in his hand and poured out two pills.

Zheng Huiyi's intuition told her that this was definitely not a good thing, so she immediately nervously protected Miss Zhao and tried to retreat.

However, where could the two weak women hide? In a flash, the thugs grabbed their jaws and stuffed the pills into their mouths, forcing them to swallow them.

The thugs didn't let go until they were sure that the women had swallowed the pills.

The two men hurriedly tried to dig their throats in an attempt to make the pills vomit out.

Mother Luo smiled and comforted her: "Don't panic, this is not poison, it's just a potion that will temporarily make you lose your resistance."

She could clearly feel that these two girls were not from ordinary families. Such girls attached great importance to their reputation. If they were not guarded against, they might eventually choose to die to preserve their chastity.

She was still counting on them to bring her huge profits, so how could she bear to let them die so easily.

Therefore, as soon as she got the medicine, she immediately sent someone to deliver it.

After Mother Luo and her group locked the door and left, Zheng Huiyi and Miss Zhao fell to the ground together.

Their strength rapidly diminished, and soon they no longer had the strength to sit or stand.

Miss Zhao smiled sadly: "Originally, I was planning to die to protect my innocence, but now it seems that even death has become a luxury."

Zheng Huiyi's heart was also filled with despair.
