The madam's eyes darted around, her gaze landing on the two figures nestled together on the bed, and a surge of anger rose within her.

If these two girls hadn't lost their virginity yet, she would have the biggest bargaining chip in her hand.

But now? The biggest bargaining chip has been taken by that Xiang Rikui.

Now, she was at a disadvantage at the negotiating table.

The money tree that I had painstakingly cultivated for ten years was uprooted just like that.

If she were to let that South China Sea glass bead slip away right under her nose again, she would be furious.

The madam was quickly calculating in her mind, but a smile appeared on her face.

"Young Master Xiang, since you are interested in selling this South China Sea glass bead but feel the price is not right, we can continue to discuss it."

Her voice was sickeningly sweet, a stark contrast to her earlier murderous expression.

Lin Feng glanced at her and said in a calm tone, "This South China Sea Glass Pearl is unique in the world and is priceless."

"I would never agree to a mere ten thousand taels of gold."

The madam was secretly delighted—there was hope! As long as they were willing to talk, things would be much easier.

She quickly asked, "Then, sir, how much would be appropriate?"

"Add at least two thousand taels of gold."

The madam breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the price is high, it's still worthwhile compared to the value of the bead.

But she's used to doing business, and she can't change her habit of haggling anytime soon.

"Oh dear, Young Master Xiang, two thousand taels is too much!" She put on a pained expression. "I can only add another thousand taels at most."

This thousand taels is also compensation—you did indeed deflower Su Shi and Su Qin, and you did so without my consent.

"If you agree to this price, I'll hand over their indentures and promise never to bother them again!"

Inside the bed curtains, Su Shi and Su Qin gazed at Lin Feng, their beautiful eyes filled with anticipation and deep emotion.

Of course they knew that Lin Feng could simply leave.

But he didn't leave. He was bargaining for them, trying to find a way to get them out of this hellhole.

This man truly cares about them.

Lin Feng looked at the madam, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes, his lips twitching, and a trace of regret for his past actions.

Having not negotiated much, I couldn't help but smile.

He remained silent for a long while before sighing and shaking his head.

Never mind.

Because I've always been a person who values ​​relationships and loyalty.

Su Shi and Su Qin were willing to give everything for love without complaint or regret, so how can I shirk my responsibility?

He paused, as if he had made a great decision.

"One thousand taels it is, just bring me the indenture and the gold."

The madam was secretly delighted, but dared not show it on her face.

She quickly winked at the maid beside her, "Go! Bring me Su Shi and Su Qin's indentures, and another thousand taels of gold notes!"

"Yes, Mom!"

The maidservant ran out in a flash.

Su Shi and Su Qin's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down their faces uncontrollably.

They never expected that Lin Feng would be willing to pay such a high price for them.

That South China Sea glass bead was his family heirloom, priceless, and he gave it to the madam just like that.

This affection is too heavy.

They felt that the best thing they had ever done in their lives was to give themselves to this man.

For the rest of their lives, they would do whatever he asked of them.

Even if it means death, I would be willing to accept it.

Moreover, once they received the indenture, they were completely freed from their suffering.

They are no longer objects to be bought and sold at will, but upright people.

To be able to be with the person you love and live the life you want.

Just thinking about it feels like a dream.

The madam smiled at the two sisters on the bed, uttering sweet words:

"You two girls are really lucky."

Meeting such a noble person as Young Master Xiang is truly a blessing earned through three lifetimes of good deeds.

Otherwise, with your fates, who knows how much more suffering you'll endure in the future.

The two sisters ignored her, only looking at Lin Feng with eyes full of love and gratitude.

The madam wasn't annoyed. She looked at Lin Feng again and saw his pained expression. Although she was pleased, she didn't dare say anything more, for fear that he might change his mind.

To be honest, Lin Feng isn't an actor, so it would be difficult for him to act all the time.

After all, he used to laugh even when he lied.

She thought for a moment and then said, "Young Master Xiang, why don't we sign an agreement?"

This is good for both sides.

Lin Feng nodded: "Okay."

Since I've agreed, I won't go back on my word.

My biggest flaw is that I'm too sentimental.

As he spoke, he walked to the desk, picked up a pen, spread out a sheet of paper, and began to write rapidly.

"I voluntarily exchange the South China Sea glass beads for the indentures of Su Shi and Su Qin, plus one thousand taels of gold."

Two copies.

After writing it, he signed his name as "Xiang Rikui".

The madam leaned over to take a look and then signed her name as well.

"Young Master Xiang, you still need to leave your handprint."

Lin Feng nodded and pressed his handprint.

The madam took the receipt, read it carefully, and her face lit up with a smile.

She folded the document carefully and tucked it into her bosom as if she were carrying a mountain of gold and silver.

"Young Master Xiang is indeed straightforward!" She smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits. "But let me tell you, my two daughters are proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, not to mention they are twins."

Those are absolutely wonderful bed warmers; if you get them, don't be ungrateful and complain.

Lin Feng snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

The madam gave an awkward smile and snorted arrogantly in response.

She gazed longingly at Lin Feng, extending her hand: "Young Master Xiang, the agreement is signed, shouldn't I at least get to see that South China Sea Glass Pearl?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "Let's talk about it when we get the indenture and the gold."

The madam was itching with desire, but she couldn't urge him any further, so she could only wait patiently.

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea later, a maid came running in, panting, carrying a wooden box.

"Mom, here it is."

The madam took the wooden box, opened it, took out two slightly yellowed pieces of paper, and handed them to Lin Feng.

"These are the indentures of Su Shi and Su Qin. Please take a look."

Lin Feng took it and examined it carefully.

It is clearly written above that Su Shi and Su Qin were sold to Zuixiang Pavilion on a certain date, for a certain price, and all the necessary signatures and seals are present.

He then handed two more contracts of indenture to the two sisters on the bed.

Su Shi and Su Qin took it, and after just one glance, tears streamed down their faces.

They nodded vigorously, confirming that it was correct.

These two pieces of paper have trapped them for ten years.

Now, I'm finally free.

Lin Feng put the indenture into his pocket—actually, he put it into his spatial storage.

Then he took the stack of gold notes from the madam, counted them, ten notes, each worth one hundred taels, totaling one thousand taels.

He nodded, took the glass bead out of his pocket, and handed it to the madam.

The madam took it with both hands, held it in her palms, and examined it again and again in the candlelight.

The bead was crystal clear, perfectly round, and flawless. The candlelight shone through the bead, casting a seven-colored halo in the room.

She turned gently, and the halo followed, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

"My darling, what a treasure..." the madam murmured to herself, her eyes filled with greed and satisfaction.

She looked up, her smile even brighter than before.

"Young Master Xiang, if you're happy, you can stay here tonight, as long as you like, and all expenses will be on me!"

Lin Feng looked embarrassed, his face pale, as if he had lost something most precious.

"No need."

This place is truly a den of iniquity. If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I won't even have bones left.

I really regret coming.
