The number one rebel of the Great Wu

Mianyue Tower, third floor.

The pimp came running up, panting and shouting.

"Mommy, Mommy, something terrible has happened!"

"A brat has arrived, demanding to see Miss Yuzhu!"

"Squeak!"

The door opened, and a heavily made-up middle-aged woman walked out, her face full of displeasure.

"What's the panic? What are you yelling for!"

"If he wants to see Yuzhu, then let him see her. As long as he pays, he can see whoever he wants."

"Even if I have to go myself, as long as the money's right, I'll go!"

"That good-for-nothing has been bedridden for seven or eight days, and I haven't even made back the money I spent on his medicine."

"If I don't let him take customers, how am I supposed to starve!"

The madam stared wide-eyed, her face full of resentment.

"But... he knows Miss Yuzhu's real name."

"Will this cause trouble? Should we send someone to inform the young master of the Shen family?"

The madam's expression suddenly changed, and she frowned, glancing left and right.

"The jade beads are placed here to make money for the young master of the Shen family."

"We definitely need to make money, but we can't afford to have any trouble."

"Is the master rich?"

The pimp was bent over.

"A hundred-tael silver note just like that, it should be pretty good."

"One hundred taels is nothing! You're a piece of trash!"

"He must have even more on him. Go dig, dig out as much as you can!"

The pimp obsequiously agreed, but just as he was about to turn around, the madam called him back.

"Wait, I'll go myself."

"You'll leave through the back door later and go inform Young Master Shen and the others to come and keep things under control. Make sure nothing goes wrong!"

……

Downstairs, Chen Changgeng was sipping his tea with an impatient expression.

The pimp looked uneasy and left someone here to hold him down, so he obviously had something to do.

Chen Changgeng guessed that he had alerted them by revealing his name, and they were probably going to find the Shen family.

That's good, it saves me from causing a scene at Mianyue Tower later.

"Oh my, this patron is truly a promising young man."

"I can tell at a glance that my patron is definitely someone of exceptional talent and a devoted lover!"

Just as Chen Changgeng put down his teacup, he saw the madam leading two maids rushing towards him.

The fine lines at the corners of her eyes were so thick they could trap a fly, yet she was still desperately forcing a smile.

"I heard your patron wishes to meet our Miss Xiaoqian?"

"Miss Xiaoqian loves devoted men like her patron the most!"

"She's still searching for someone who can buy her freedom!"

The madam wasn't stupid; she knew that keeping the jade bead with her would only cause trouble sooner or later.

If they are not taken care of properly and the child dies, the young masters of the Shen family will come to hold them accountable.

It would be better to find a reason to sell her off all at once. Anyway, as long as the money is in hand, the young masters of the Shen family won't say anything.

"To redeem yourself?"

Chen Changgeng raised his head slightly, revealing a hint of interest.

But in reality, she knew perfectly well that this jade bead was a hot potato for the madam!

"Yes, that's right!"

"That Xiaoqian girl, her background is really tragic. Her parents died early, and she has a younger brother who is still studying."

"She's been really hoping to get this money urgently!"

"She also said that if anyone was willing to pay to redeem her from this Sleeping Moon Pavilion, she would be willing to serve them as a slave for the rest of her life."

"I guarantee I'll serve you, my patron, until you're completely satisfied every day!"

The madam took out a handkerchief and wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.

"What are you waiting for? Let me see him!"

Chen Changgeng's face lit up with joy, and he quickly slammed his hand on the table.

Seeing that there was a chance, the madam quickly grabbed Chen Changgeng.

"Please don't be anxious, my esteemed guest. This young lady, Xiaoqian, has been ill for several days."

"Although her illness is almost cured, I still have a lot of money to spend on her medicine, clothes, jewelry, food, and drinks."

"Those are all expenses, aren't they?"

Chen Changgeng waved his hand impatiently.

"Okay, okay, you've factored everything in, just name your price!"

The madam's face immediately lit up with joy, and she held up five fingers. Then, her expression changed slightly, and she held up five more fingers.

"One thousand taels, no bargaining!"

Without hesitation, Chen Changgeng pulled out a thousand taels of silver notes and waved them in front of the madam.

The madam's eyes lit up instantly, and she was about to reach out to take it when Chen Changgeng withdrew his hand.

I really want him to pay for it? Dream on!

I've worked so hard to earn this little bit, and you casually ask for a thousand taels? Do you really think I'm some kind of scumbag?

Money is for women to see!

"I haven't even met the person yet, and I've already given you the money."

"And then, if you pull a switcheroo on me, where will I go to cry?"

"I need to check out the people and the goods first, right?"

The madam's eyes were now fixed on the thousand taels of silver notes fluttering in the air; her mind had long since ceased to think.

Without even considering how Chen Changgeng, dressed like that, could come up with such a large sum of money, he immediately waved his hand.

"Quickly, quickly, take this patron to see Miss Xiaoqian!"

"And tell the kitchen to bring me all the best wine and dishes!"

"Anyone who dares to cut corners, I'll break their legs!"

The pimp beside him immediately responded loudly, and ordered his men to rush forward and take Chen Changgeng to the second floor.

Yu Zhu's room was located at the very end of the second-floor corridor, clearly indicating that she was not well-regarded by the Mian Yue Lou.

Chen Changgeng stopped them a few steps away, saying that he wanted to go in alone and have a heart-to-heart talk.

How could the madam and pimp dare to refuse? That was a walking thousand taels of silver!

Let alone making them wait outside, I'd be willing to do anything even if they rolled around on the spot!

"Squeak!"

Chen Changgeng gently pushed open the door. The interior was decorated in a purplish-red color, and a faint fragrance wafted in the air.

A few soft coughs could be heard from inside the room from time to time.

Upon hearing the door open, Yuzhu immediately asked anxiously.

"Who, who is it?"

Chen Changgeng strode inside and paused at the door.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

On the bed, a woman with disheveled hair was tightly wrapped in a blanket, her face and neck covered in bruises, clearly having suffered considerable humiliation.

Even after Chen Changgeng explained his purpose, she was still filled with panic.

"Miss Yuzhu, I am deeply grateful for the meal your mother provided."

"When I returned to Jiangxia Town, I learned about your situation from the old man at the tea stall, so I came here to help you."

Chen Changgeng remained standing under the curtain in the inner room, five steps away from the bed, and continued to explain in a gentle tone.

Upon hearing about her mother's situation, Yuzhu's initially terrified and confused gaze gradually cleared, and she looked at Chen Changgeng in disbelief.

In an instant, his eyes reddened, and countless grievances turned into tears that streamed down his face!

"Beasts...they're all beasts!"

"Sir, I see you have a kind heart, so I can't bear to lie to you. You can't save me."

"Yuzhu has been targeted by the Shen family, and now she is in a state where she can neither live nor die."

"If you try to save me, you'll only get yourself into trouble, boohoo!"

Yuzhu covered her face and wept bitterly.

"If you are so kind, sir, please go to the prison and rescue my mother."

"If I knew my mother was safe and sound, Yuzhu... could die in peace!"

Looking at Yuzhu, who was crying in front of him, Chen Changgeng felt both heartache and emotion.

In ancient times, women valued their chastity as much as their lives. Yu Zhu suffered this great calamity and was bound and sent to the Sleeping Moon Pavilion. During this period, she endured unimaginable torment.

Even in this state, he hasn't gone completely insane, which shows how strong his resolve is.

"Miss Yuzhu, don't be discouraged. To be honest..."

"I came here specifically for you, young lady, and I am absolutely confident that I can rescue you now that we have met."

"No one can stop me, no matter who comes. I wonder if Miss Yuzhu would trust me this once?"

Chen Changgeng originally planned to directly take out the Crown Prince's waist token to show off, but after thinking about it, he decided not to reveal his identity for the time being.

Only then can Yuzhu perform with genuine emotion!

"You came all this way... just for me?"

With tears welling in her eyes, Yu Zhu looked at Chen Changgeng in disbelief.

She couldn't understand why someone would offer to save a woman like herself who had lost her virtue.

And whether she believes or not, she is already in hell and has no other choice!

"Sir...you weren't just trying to make Yuzhu happy, were you?"

Although Yuzhu had not been at Mianyue Tower for long, she had heard about and witnessed some things.

These patrons, in order to win favor and spend less money, can come up with any excuse.

Many sincere women are often deceived by a single misleading sentence, like moths drawn to a flame, and perish because of it.

Come to think of it, they were just foolish. In a place of pleasure, how can there be any true feelings?

Chen Changgeng smiled faintly.

"The Shen family will be here shortly."

"Whether it's true or false, Miss Yuzhu will have to judge after she sees it!"
