Chapter 149 Working together
When Su Lejin pushed open the door and came out with the box of rouge, the pimp who had been waiting outside immediately approached her.
"Miss Le Jin, you finally came out."
Su Lejin glanced at him sideways, "What? You can't wait? You've been urging me to do something while I was just trying on makeup."
The old man smiled awkwardly, "Miss, what are you talking about? I'm just worried about you."
Su Lejin snorted coldly and ignored him.
At this time, Feng Nong Yue also walked out.
Hearing footsteps coming from behind, Su Lejin turned around and said, "Shopkeeper Feng, just do as I said just now and pack up those three boxes for me."
"Yes, Miss Su, please wait a moment."
After saying that, Feng Nong Yue skillfully packed three boxes of rouge and handed them to Su Lejin.
Su Lejin took the rouge and handed it to Gui Gong, "Let's go."
Gui Gong hurriedly followed Su Lejin, and the two of them walked towards Manchunyuan.
After walking out of the Anxiang Pavilion, Su Lejin looked back at Feng Nong Yue who was giving instructions to the waiter.
Soon, she turned around and walked towards Manchunyuan.
It was just as Feng Nong Yue said, she would not tell anyone about this.
For things like this, the person she could tell was Lord Hu. After all, he was the highest-ranking official she knew and a close minister to the emperor.
But since there is no evidence, it is not certain whether Lord Hu believes her or not.
Even if he believed it and sent someone to investigate, Su Lejin guessed that there was a high probability that nothing would be found.
Without any evidence, it was impossible for Lord Hu to throw them into jail and torture them.
After wasting time and energy and finding nothing, she would definitely be angered by Lord Hu and might even be killed.
Even if she succeeded in finding out, what could she get? Some money, and she would still be redeemed by Lord Hu and become a concubine.
As for Master Chen, at most he will be punished, but he will not die.
In fact, she also knew that there was little hope of relying on Lord Hu for revenge.
But what can she do?
When she saw her sister's death, all she wanted was to die together with Master Chen, who killed her sister.
As a result, he never came to Manchunyuan again after that incident. I don’t know if he was afraid, or was controlled by his family, or for other reasons, but he never came since then.
How could she take revenge if she couldn't contact him, so she could only rely on those powerful people. Even though the possibility was small, that was her hope.
Now, she sees new hope.
She believed what Feng Nong Yue had just said about the past. Girls who grew up in brothels have developed the ability to read people's expressions.
She noticed that when Feng Nong Yue talked about their rescue, her eyes, which had been calm at that moment, suddenly lit up.
Especially when talking about the fact that they opened a store, even their tone of voice rose.
She admitted that she was very moved by Feng Nong Yue's promise today.
No, it's very exciting.
For a moment she even wanted to agree immediately.
The temptation to kill the man who killed his sister was too great for Su Lejin.
and……
She said that once their majesty's troops invaded here, the brothel girls here would regain their freedom and there would be no brothels anymore.
That’s great! No more women will experience such a tragic fate as theirs in the future.
When Su Lejin thought of this, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.
I hope I didn't lie to her, otherwise...
She looked up at the sky. Leaden clouds were piled up thickly, and the cold wind was howling. "Let's walk faster. It looks like it's going to snow again."
"Yes."
On the other side, the Liao Kingdom.
Feng Yuchang, wearing thick winter clothes, walked into Xunfang Pavilion with several new products from their store in her hands.
"It's so cold, why is Miss Wind here?"
When the madam saw Feng Yuchang, she came forward with a smile on her face.
"What new products have you released?"
"You can't hide anything from your mother."
As she spoke, Feng Yuchang took out a lip balm from the basket she was carrying.
"This is a new product from our shop. The color is very suitable for mom. I hope you don't mind it."
Looking at the lip balm handed to her, the madam took it with a happy smile.
There is nothing to say about the rouge and powder in their store, they are very good.
"Then I will accept it without hesitation. Please do as you please, Miss Feng."
"Yes, then mom, I'll go up first."
The madam has become accustomed to Feng Yuchang's visits. Whenever their store releases new products, she will come here to sell some.
And she is also a sensible person, and she is given something every time she comes.
Feng Yuchang went upstairs and knocked on every door as if she was familiar with the place, trying to sell the things she brought.
Because it was daytime, most of the girls were still sleeping in their rooms, and there were not many people walking in the corridor.
After selling another box of rouge, Feng Yuchang walked out of the house.
At this time, the corridor outside was silent. I looked around and saw that there was no one else.
Feng Yuchang squeezed the basket in her hand, took a deep breath, and walked towards a room at the end of the corridor.
She stopped at the door of the room, looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and then knocked gently on the door.
"Who?"
Feng Yuchang lowered her voice, "It's me, Feng Yuchang."
The door opened and a woman with a haggard face walked out.
She looked at the things Feng Yuchang was holding and said, "Miss Feng, you've found the wrong person. I don't need these, and I can't afford them."
While no one was passing by outside, Feng Yuchang hurriedly grabbed her hand, pushed her into the house, and then gently closed the door.
"Miss Yan, I'm not here to sell anything, I'm here to discuss cooperation."
Feng Yuchang looked at the person in front of her, Yan Sang, who was originally a daughter of an official. After her father failed in choosing sides, he was liquidated by Qi Yan'an.
The men in the Yanfu were demoted to commoners and assigned to do hard labor, while the women were demoted to prostitutes.
At first, Yan Sang thought about committing suicide, but was stopped by the guards.
Later, she became numb and stayed there like a beast, unable to go out.
She acted as if she didn't hear Feng Yuchang's words. She got on the bed, pulled up the quilt, and leaned there.
"Miss Feng, remember to close the door when you leave."
Looking at her empty eyes, Feng Yuchang stepped forward and said, "Miss Yan, do you want to be trapped here for the rest of your life, until you die?"
Yan Sang trembled slightly, but still said nothing.
"Why don't you cooperate with me? Maybe there's still a glimmer of hope. Miss Yan, are you willing to live in this humiliating place for the rest of your life?"
Yan Sang finally raised his eyes to look at Feng Yuchang, his eyes wavering. "You are just a rouge and powder seller. Unless Your Majesty shows mercy, I will have to stay here for the rest of my life, and even if I die, I will have to die here."
Feng Yuchang approached her and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Miss Yan, you are wrong. There is actually another way, and that is to change the owner of the Liao Kingdom."
Yan Sang widened his eyes and looked at her in horror.
"Miss Yan, why don't you take a gamble? If you succeed, you'll be free. The world is so big, you can go wherever you want. If you fail, you'll just die, right?"
Yan Sang's hands on the quilt were tightly gripped, her chest rose and fell rapidly, and she slowly closed her eyes.
After a moment, she opened her eyes and turned to look at Feng Yuchang, "What do you want me to do?"
"Get information from the officials for us, no matter how big or small. When the Liao Kingdom changes its master, that will be Miss Yan's freedom."
"Okay, I agree."
At this time, Feng Huaying, who was thousands of miles away, was also carrying out his work in an orderly manner.
Although the three of them were not in the same place, they were all moving in the same direction.
