foxy charmer

Liu Lian went back to the Banxiu Building, she locked herself in the room and did not step out of the threshold.

She would eat the rice delivered every day, but she only drank a bowl of porridge delivered in the morning.The cooking girls were worried and tried their best to make new dishes, but Suliao never touched them.

These maids were brought back by Fei Yu and Li Lian to take care of them. Most of the goddesses didn't know each other, they only knew Li Lian and Fei Yu, and they only trusted Li Lian and Fei Yu.

After more than half a month, the maids finally couldn't bear the panic in their hearts, and stood guard at the door, waiting for Liu Lian to grab her sleeves when she got her breakfast.

"Sister Liu, where are sisters Feiyu? There are a lot of strangers in the building recently, what are they here for?"

Suliao looked at the hand holding her sleeve, it was soft and white, like a small steamed bun, completely different from the hand she had when she was a child.

No matter how these girls were in the past, at least after they came to Banxiulou, Fei Yu raised them very well, as innocent and ignorant as the daughters of ordinary people.

She wanted to get rid of it, if it wasn't for these girls, neither sister nor Banxiulou would have suffered such a catastrophe.But she raised her head and met a circle of watery eyes, which were full of dependence only when looking at her close relatives.

"Sister Fei Yu will be back soon." Lian raised her hand and placed it on the girl's hair in the middle. The girl's soft hair was still a little yellow, and some of it was not considered hair, it could only be called fluff.

"Avoid those strangers in the building and stay on the fourth floor as much as possible."

She squatted on the ground and rubbed the fluff, unable to tell what it was like.

The elder sister refused to leave her because of these girls, she should hate or be jealous, but these soft hairs were in the palm of her hand, she felt the warmth of the top of the girl's head, and Li Lian felt—fortunately she didn't leave.

Footsteps sounded at the end of the corridor, several girls turned their heads and said to Liu Lian, "Sister Liu Lian, someone I don't know is here."

The footsteps stopped after these words, and then a woman's gentle voice sounded, "I am the elder sister of your sister Liu Lian, is it convenient for her to see me now?"

The girls obediently stepped out of the way, and Liu Lian, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her head and saw the person coming.

Xu Jinhuai.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, Miss Lian has lost a lot of weight." Xu Jinhuai said with a smile, "Give me a bowl of tea."

Lian Lian was slightly startled, from Xu Jinhuai's expression, she vaguely saw something.She stood up and let the door out sideways, "Please."

The two entered the house, and the girls dispersed separately.Lian Lian poured tea for Xu Jinhuai and asked, "I don't know why Boss Xu is here today."

Xu Jinhuai blew on the floating tea, and only took a few sips. When the tea entered her stomach, she raised her eyes to look at Liu Lian. The woman's eyes are like green bamboos by the water, always with a gentle smile.

She said, "I've been waiting for more than half a month, but the lady never came to see me. I really can't hold my breath."

"My sister wants me to guard the Banxiu Tower, not to mention that Li Sheng has opened up all the key points, and the matter is a foregone conclusion. Even if I ask Boss Xu, what can Boss Xu do?"

"If I really have a way." Xu Jinhuai raised an eyebrow.

Lian Li stood up abruptly, she stared at the woman, the expression in her eyes was self-evident.

"I have a way to bring Boss Fei back, and at the same time keep your three buildings." Xu Jinhuai got up and said slowly, "But I have conditions."

Li Lian held her breath, "Boss Xu, please tell me, as long as Li Lian can do it, Li Lian will never refuse."

"I want your right hand."

Xu Jinhuai lowered his jaw slightly, "You have been working for Fei Yu all these years, it's too much in the way of me."

Liu Lian didn't say a word, she immediately turned around, pulled out the red jade sword hanging on the wall, put her right hand on the table, and swiftly slashed down, even when she was in the process of killing, Li Lian was never so calm.

"Wait!" Xu Jinhuai squeezed the blade of the sword, she moved closer to Li Lian, stared at her carefully for a while, then looked into her eyes and said, "One hand doesn't seem to be useful, why don't you just get rid of you and cut it off?" Fei Yu's arm."

Li Lian's expression remained unchanged, "If Boss Xu can really save Banxiulou and sister, Li Lian will present the head immediately after the matter is settled."

"Okay, loyal enough." Xu Jinhuai smiled, and let go of the sword, "But what I want is not your head, but your people."

"What do you mean?" Sulfur frowned.

"I want you to come to Qiyun Tower, be my maid, and sign the death contract."

At this point, the expression on Liu Lian's face changed.She lowered her eyelids, Xu Jinhuai thought she would have to think about it for a long time, but she gave the answer in just a moment, "Okay."

Even though her elder sister disliked her, to this day, Liu Lian still regards Fei Yu as the scorching sun and bright moon.

Nothing is more important than a sister.

For the sake of her sister, she could even abandon her companion, so why not abandon herself now.

"Refreshing." Xu Jinhuai nodded with a smile, "No wonder Boss Fei is willing to tell you that."

Sulfur was taken aback, "Say what?"

"Miss, have you forgotten that the day Li Sheng came, Boss Fei told you about her life experience." Xu Jinhuai said, "Although it's not a secret, you can find it out if you want to, but the goddess I poached from the Banxiu Tower all these years None of them know, not even a veteran like Liang Huan who has been with Boss Fei for eight years."

"Judging from your expression that day, it should be the first time I know about it. If you don't even know about it, no one else will know about it."

She smiled, "It's really not a good memory. A girl born in a kiln was sold by her biological mother to a man as a child prostitute at the age of six. Go to a brothel to be a prostitute."

"No one would want to mention this past, such a bloody wound, she has not shown it to anyone for many years, and only told you. This kind of intimacy is not something that a master and servant can have. The sweetheart has come to meet you frankly." Xu Jinhuai rolled his eyes, "That's why I signed a death contract with you, with you as the thread, Fei Yu must be very obedient to me."

Sulfur suddenly froze in place.

What Xu Jinhuai said is correct, my sister never told anyone about her life experience, even if she, even if she asked her sister many times, she never mentioned a word.

But this year's Qixi Festival, Fei Yu said it.

It wasn't because she had overcome her heart knot, the woman's eyelids were down when she spoke, and she quietly approached Liu Lian's side when she spoke.

There seemed to be waves of sea water in the air flooding Liu Lian's mouth and nose, forcing her to breathe.

"I entrusted my most important things to you. I thought you could guard me for a while, but I never thought that you only wanted to be a rough envoy. Now it seems that you can only be a rough envoy .”

She only entrusts the most important things to the people she trusts the most. She believes that Liu Lian understands her, and understands that companionship is more important to her than life;

In the wind, moon and dust, Fei Yu has been tossing and rolling for 30 years. Her heart is full of scars and fragments, and it is impossible for ordinary people to stay there.

Fei Yu hesitated and hesitated, hesitated and hesitated, but she was thinking of the kiss on the black-covered boat under the moon in the lotus; she looked back on the loyalty of Liu Lian to her in the past 15 years.

So she delivered anyway.

She confessed everything to Liu Lian, tearing apart her blood-black past for her to see, and only for her to see.Like all the stupid dicks who fell in love with a client, Fei Yu handed over the only thing left of her body.

But Lian couldn't understand, she threw Fei Yu's carefully handed over heart to the ground, dismissed it, didn't even look at it, and only acted according to her own heart.

Fifteen years ago, she licked Fei Yu's face and said that Fei Yu's eyes were the same as those of those men.

But Fei Yu is absolutely not, she is a human being, she has the rationality to restrain her dirty desires, she does not allow herself to inflict the harm she has suffered on others.

The absurd thing is that 15 years later, the child who was raised by Fei Yu has become the one that Fei Yu hates the most.

She spoils her too much.

If a man wants to get something from Fei Yu, at least he has to spend money, but Liu Lian doesn't have to pay anything, and Fei Yu gives her everything.

How desperate Fei Yu is in this life, she puts the same hope on Liu Lian.

She spoiled her.

Sulfur's face was itchy, and she realized that she was crying.

She seldom cried, even less often than she laughed, because crying was the most useless thing, and she couldn't exchange it for anything.

Now too.

These late tears cannot be exchanged for Fei Yu.

"When will my sister be rescued?" She asked this question first without wiping away her tears.

Xu Jinhuai didn't comfort her, "I dare to come here today to make an offer with you, so I have full confidence."

"I thought Boss Fei had guessed what I was going to do long ago, so you could wait here with peace of mind for news from me. Now it seems that the lady doesn't know anything about it."

"Sister...you guessed it?" Li Lian looked down at the sword on the table. If my sister guessed it, why didn't she tell her...

Or maybe she wanted to tell her...

"Young lady started the country together with Boss Fei. You should know that it is not easy to do business, especially the flower and wine business like ours. It is even more difficult to do." Xu Jinhuai picked up the maid fan on the table to play with, and she turned it lightly the handle, the woman on the fan could only follow it helplessly.

"Those uncles from the government will reach out to our shop when they are short of money, and the local ruffians from around will come to make trouble from time to time. We are just a piece of fish, but we just lie on the cutting board and can't move. We want to live for a long time. Going down, you really need a little backing."

She put down her fan and smiled, "You don't know, but Boss Fei has been here for 11 years. Even though she doesn't leave home, she still knows everything she should know."

"What exactly is Boss Xu trying to say?" Li Lian frowned, "The magistrate of Hangzhou was bribed by Li Sheng. Even if Boss Xu has friendship with the higher-level officials, this matter is already settled, and there is no room for change. There, whoever comes to interrogate is the result. Even if someone is willing to take this muddy water, but when the order is issued, the officials are full of tricks, and it is easy to put aside a young man for a year or two. It was swallowed up by Li Sheng."

"In terms of the law, there is no doubt about this matter, but the lady should understand that the law is nothing more than human feelings."

Li Lian laughed, the corners of her lips were not raised, only the voice leaked out, "The law is nothing more than human favors, it depends on whose favor it is."

These words are just another set of protection left for the superiors, not for them.

"The favor of the Empress Dowager."

Sulfur opened her eyes abruptly, sweeping away all the gloom on her face. "What did you say?" she asked in disbelief.

"In the past half a month, I asked my servants to go back to my hometown and begged to see my elder sister." Xu Jinhuai said with a smile, "My elder sister is a maidservant next to the queen mother, and I am from Chang'an."

This sentence made Lian immediately understand all the key points.

No wonder my sister walked so calmly, she knew that Xu Jinhuai had something to do with the palace.

This matter is not suitable for anyone, the emperor doesn't care about a small brothel at all; The old man has somewhat of a kind heart, and no one dares to criticize her actions.

"But even if this is the case, the high-ranking empress dowager may not necessarily intervene in this matter." Li Lian was particularly puzzled, "Why is my sister so sure..."

"The queen mother lost a daughter in her early years," Xu Jinhuai said, "I remember the year Princess Kangyou fell into the water, it seems that she just turned twelve."

She continued, "There are only two children under the Empress Dowager's knees. One has become the emperor above ten thousand people, and he is powerful; the other died in the water before he reached the pinnacle."

"Tell me, an elderly mother has been looking at her vigorous son and the three thousand beauties in the palace during the day for 20 years, what was she thinking when she was sleepless late at night."

She was thinking about her daughter, how unfortunate her poor little daughter was; she was blaming God for taking the life of her 12-year-old little girl.

"The girls in the Banxiu Building are all about the same age as Princess Kang You. They were abandoned and abandoned by their parents and suffered a lot. As long as someone can speak properly, it is easy for the Empress Dowager to issue an oral order."

These words were like sunlight breaking through the dark clouds, shining from the sky to the front of Liu Lian.She subconsciously took two steps forward, as if to catch the light beam, as if to worship the Golden Crow.

There was no need to say anything more, she knelt down to Xu Jinhuai, "Thank you... Thank you Boss Xu for saving your life." This voice was filled with salty tears, so heavy that it was almost impossible to lift it, and it kept trembling .

She couldn't speak, so she kowtowed heavily to Xu Jinhuai.

"Don't thank me, thank you Taoji." Xu Jinhuai turned sideways, avoiding Liu Lian's gift, she looked in Chang'an's direction, smiled and sighed, "I never thought that there would be such a coincidence in the world. I bumped into Mrs. Taoji on the third floor, and felt kind-hearted for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that she had a five-point resemblance to Princess Kangyou in the portrait hanging in Sister's room.

So I asked her and Lianghuan to go to the Qiyun Building, and sent Lianghuan to Feiyu's side to take care of me; then I told Tao Ji about the plan and asked her if she would like to enter the palace and tell the truth to the Queen Mother, she readily agreed .

This matter cannot be leaked. Once Li Sheng finds out, he will do everything possible to obstruct it. Therefore, the fewer people who know about it, the better, not to mention that it involves the Tian family. , Let the lady worry. "

"The people from Chang'an sent a message back this morning, and the Queen Mother has issued a verbal order, ordering Feiyu to go back to manage the affairs in the building immediately, and give her a jade plaque of 'Shangshan Rushui', a reward of one hundred taels, in gratitude for her good deeds."

Xu Jinhuai bowed his head and smiled at Li Lian, "Although he didn't say anything explicitly, but with the empress dowager's order, no one dared to say a word when Banxiulou wants to adopt a girl in the future. Even Tao Ji was rewarded , the Empress Dowager stays with her as a first-class female official, if you have a chance to meet her in the future, you have to salute her."

"Tao Ji..." Li Lian was stunned for a moment, "Tao Ji stayed in the palace?"

"That's right, from a prostitute to the queen mother's official, this is a rare fortune."

"Does my sister know?" Li Lian straightened his back and asked, "Does my sister know that Tao Ji and Princess Kang You are similar?"

"I don't know about that. However, Fei Yu was only young when Princess Kangyou died. I can know because my sister's room has a portrait of the princess. Ordinary people don't have the opportunity to see the princess's beauty."

Sulfur sat back down again.

This is a good thing that everyone is happy with. My sister and Banxiulou were rescued, and Tao Ji, that pushy girl, is now staying by the queen mother's side, and she no longer has to be a prostitute.She should be happy for Tao Ji.

But for some reason, not only did Liu Lian not relax, but he was extremely depressed, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

Is there anything she didn't count...

There is an indescribable strangeness about Sulfur.

She would not know that at the end of June, when the lotus flowers were still in full bloom, after the little girl who was kicked out of the room by her returned to the room, she was thinking about——

She likes Banxiulou, and she wants to stay here for the rest of her life.

This liking has nothing to do with fame and wealth, she has had a bad relationship with many goddesses in the building, she looks down on those people who frame other girls for a little money, she is unwilling to bow to these people.

But she likes the Banxiu Building, because with Feiyu, this Banxiu Building is still lively and free; because even if she is in the mud here, she can see the benevolence as long as she looks up to the third floor. The bright moon is Tao Ji's hope.

The mountains are high and the roads are far away. I don’t know if there is still the moon she yearns for in the majestic palace walls and high-rise buildings in Chang’an;

Is it also like Banxiulou, after she makes a mistake, can she have a little help from the bad guy she dislikes?
