Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

When He Qinglian arrived at "Wangyoulou", she slept until noon the next day. She felt weak all over, her mouth was dry and her throat was very hoarse. She didn't pay attention to her surroundings at all. She got off the bed unsteadily, walked to the table, picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of water. She gulped it down in two mouthfuls, but it still didn't quench her thirst. She poured herself two more cups before she felt much better.

She then carefully observed the room's furnishings, which were completely different from those in the inn. Where was she? The room was luxuriously decorated, with brocade quilts. She wondered, where was Lu Yunzhou?

He Qinglian knew they didn't have enough money to stay in such a nice room, so where was this? She quickly walked to the door and opened it, and the madam, Qiu Mama, came in. "Miss Qinglian is awake."

"My benefactor, where is this? Where is my husband?"

"This is the Forget-Worry Pavilion. Your husband has naturally gone home. From now on, this will be your home. You should live here properly. I won't mistreat you. This is a little maid I've assigned to you. She will serve you from now on."

"Take a good rest for a couple of days, get your complexion back to normal, and someone will teach you how to do things."

What kind of place is the Forget-Worry Pavilion?

"The Forget-Worry Pavilion is a place for people to have fun. As long as you behave well and serve those patrons well, your mother will ensure you have no worries about food and clothing."

"No, I don't want to stay here. I want to go home. My husband won't abandon me. Please let me go home!" He Qinglian only now realized that she had been sold to a brothel by Lu Yunzhou. She knelt on the ground and cried uncontrollably.

"Where do you still have a home? What's so good about that man? He's sickly and heartless. He's not worth it for you. While you're still young, take more clients and save up some money. If you're lucky enough to be noticed by a noble person, they might be able to redeem you and you'll have someone to rely on in the future."

"No, I don't want to entertain clients, I want to go home, please, let me go home."

"Want to go home? Sure, bring 3000 taels of silver to redeem yourself, and I'll let you go immediately."

He Qinglian was shocked when she heard the number: 3000 taels! She couldn't repay that debt even in ten lifetimes! Waaah~

"Alright, stop crying. We'll be receiving guests in two days." After saying that, Madam Qiu left. When she got to the door, she instructed the maid who was serving her, "Make sure you keep a close eye on her and don't let anything go wrong."

The little girl looked at the woman kneeling on the ground and quickly comforted her, "Sister, don't cry. If you anger Aunt Qiu, you'll suffer. There's no use resisting here."

My parents sold me here. I tried to escape, but I couldn't. Look at the wounds on my body; you can tell how ruthless those people were.

The young girl exposed her arms, which were covered with scars of all sizes, a shocking sight. "These are just minor injuries. I also have burns. If I weren't so young, I probably would have been working as a prostitute. Now, with all these scars, I might have spent my whole life as a menial servant."

"Sister, don't cry. It's not good for your health if you cry. Let's think about this carefully."

"How should we plan for the long term?"

"Shh~ Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear us, there are people watching outside!"

In the past two days, Qiu's mother sent a tutor named Zhu to teach her. He Qinglian heard nothing but how to please men, which made her blush.

Mother Qiu had someone dress up He Qinglian and put her in beautiful clothes. Mother Qiu clicked her tongue in amazement, "What a beauty!"

"Starting today, you'll be entertaining guests. If you serve them well, you'll reap the rewards. But if you mess things up, see how I deal with you. You'll have to practice in your room."

Today, "Wangyoulou" ordered pastries from the shop, and the shop's clerk was going to deliver them. Liu Ruxue was very curious about "Wangyoulou" and wanted to go and see it. The shop owner wouldn't let her go, but she insisted on going, so she disguised herself as a man and went with the clerk to deliver the pastries.

Just as the two reached the back door of the Forget-Worry Pavilion, they heard a muffled thud, and a person fell heavily to the ground. Liu Ruxue was quite frightened. She quickly went forward to check and found that the person was still breathing. "You go deliver the goods, I'll take someone to see a doctor."

Just as Liu Ruxue lifted the person from the ground, the back door of Wangyou Tower opened, and more than a dozen people rushed out, surrounding Liu Ruxue. "What do you want to do? Get out of the way! If you don't get out of the way, it will be too late. This is a life."

When Qiu's mother saw He Qinglian's face covered in blood, she waved her hand and said, "Go see a doctor right away, don't delay." She hadn't expected her to be so impulsive; she jumped off the building before even having any customers. If word got out, it would not only damage the reputation of the building, but also mean that her 90 taels of silver would be wasted.

If someone like that forces her to stay, and then tries to harm the customers, it will be a disaster! Qiu's mother has already decided that as long as the person is alive, she can recoup some of her costs, so she will sell her.

Liu Ruxue carried He Qinglian and ran all the way to the nearest clinic, shouting, "Doctor, please save her! Please save her!"

The old doctor saw that the woman was covered in blood and quickly tried to stop the bleeding. He put a ginseng slice in her mouth, and the bleeding stopped. The woman remained unconscious. "The patient suffered a head injury and internal injuries, and there is bleeding. If she can make it through the night, she will be out of danger. As for whether she will wake up or become mentally impaired, that is unknown and depends on fate."

The consultation fee and medicine cost a total of 23 taels of silver.

Liu Ruxue looked at Qiu's mother and said, "Auntie, this is family, please pay quickly."

Autumn's mother did the math: she had spent 23 taels of silver, but if the person didn't wake up or became mentally impaired, she would not only have to continue treating her, but also have to hire someone to take care of her. This would only lead to more losses, which was not worth it at all.

"Since you brought him here, you should pay for his medical expenses."

"How can you be so unreasonable? I was just trying to help her, and you're now trying to blame me. Auntie, she's a member of your family."

Autumn's mother shoved the indenture into her hand, saying, "She's yours now."

After Qiu Mama left with her people, Liu Ruxue was dumbfounded. How did they become her people? The doctor looked at her and said, "Young master, you have to pay for this."

You meant well but caused trouble; consider yourself unlucky. Do you even know who that woman is?

"Who is it?"

"The madam of the Forget-Worry Pavilion, Aunt Qiu, is much smarter than you."

Looking at the woman lying on the hospital bed, barely alive, Liu Ruxue thought, "She's really beautiful. Why would she do something like this?" "Don't look at her anymore. This girl is lucky to have met the young master. If it were in the past, she might have been thrown into a mass grave."

It seems this girl has a fiery temper, and the madam has also come to terms with the situation, so she's throwing her revenge at you.

Liu Ruxue was helpless. She didn't have that much silver on her. "Doctor, I don't have that much silver on me. I only have five taels here. Please take it and I'll go back and get it."

The old doctor, fearing she might run away, sent someone with her. Liu Ruxue had no choice but to agree. The deliveryman, panting, arrived at the clinic. Seeing Liu Ruxue, he finally felt relieved. "Miss Ruxue, you scared me to death! Are you alright? How is that person?"

"I'm fine, she's still alive. You go back to the shop. I've run into some trouble and need to go home."

"What happened? Shall I take care of it for you?"

Liu Ruxue recounted the incident, and the waiter, furious, glared and puffed out his beard. "This is outrageous! We need to tell the young master about this and let her handle it."

"No need to trouble the young master. I'll clean up the mess I made. I need to go back and get the money now."

"How much silver?"

"23 taels, 18 taels short."

"I have 20 taels of silver here from the delivery. You can use it for now and pay me back later. I'll tell the shopkeeper when I get back."

"Okay, thank you. Consider this money a loan."
