Chapter 256: Chapter 256 She Killed Herself_1 Chapter 256: Chapter 256 She Killed Herself_1 However, after Xiao Changyi gave the gatekeeper ten coins, An Jing said she wasn’t there to play but to see Old Mama about so matters. Only then did the gatekeeper go to inform, but still, they didn’t let An Jing and Xiao Changyi inside.
Xiao Changyi and An Jing didn’t want to enter either; just standing at the entrance, they could sll the various perfu and powdered fragrances wafting from inside, which was nauseating.
Now it was just right; standing at the entrance was more comfortable for them.
When the gatekeeper ca out again, Old Mama from Fenghua Tower also appeared. She, with her face full of wrinkles, was heavily made up and flamboyant, twisting her waist and fluttering her handkerchief with a dusty aura.
“Are you two looking for ?” As soon as Old Mama ca out, she sized up An Jing and Xiao Changyi, and seeing their poor peasant attire, an expression of disgust imdiately showed in her eyes.
An Jing said, “Indeed.”
“What do you want? Speak up and leave quickly; we still need to conduct business. With you two standing at our door, how do you expect us to carry on with our business?” Old Mama retorted irritably.
An Jing was not annoyed and replied with a smile, “Did you not purchase a girl nad Liu Sanya three days ago? We have co today to redeem her.”
Old Mama’s tone turned sharp and harsh at once: “Do not bring her up to again! I bought her, and thus she belonged to my establishnt, required to entertain guests. But how wonderful, she simply chose death! That caused a direct loss of six taels of silver! I spent six taels of silver on her!”
An Jing was stunned, completely unaware that Liu Sanya had already died.
Xiao Changyi was also taken aback.
“She’s dead?” An Jing could scarcely believe it.
“Dead!” Old Mama remained furious. “She didn’t entertain a single custor, ca here, and then just slamd her head and died on the very sa day. I originally thought of discarding her at Random Burial Hill, but I wasn’t heartless enough. In the end, I had soone bury her on the hill behind here. If you want to find her, then go look for her on the hill behind. In any case, we don’t have such a person in our establishnt anymore!”
With that said, Old Mama swept away, obviously very angry that Liu Sanya had just slamd her head and died.
Only then did An Jing and Xiao Changyi truly believe that Liu Sanya was indeed dead, each feeling a mixture of complicated emotions.
“Hurry up and leave, don’t block our trade,” urged the gatekeeper, wanting them to move on quickly.
With the person dead, An Jing and Xiao Changyi no longer wanted to stand at the entrance of Fenghua Tower. As they were about to turn and leave, they saw Liniang, all smiles, seeing a guest out.
The guest had arrived the previous night, spent the entire night in Liniang’s room, and now that he was leaving, Liniang saw him off, telling him to co again soon.
Liniang didn’t expect to see An Jing and Xiao Changyi; she was startled at first but then seed to understand. As soon as she sent the guest away, she smiled at An Jing and Xiao Changyi and said, “You two are good people, pity San Ya couldn’t wait for you before she was gone.”
Now Liniang had completely transford into a woman of the night. An Jing hesitated before asking, “Did Liu Sanya really kill herself by slamming her head?”
“Yes, she killed herself by slamming her head,” Liniang nodded and sighed, “The night she was sold to the establishnt, Old Mama had soone teach her how to serve n. As a virgin, she couldn’t bear it and slamd her head to death. Many people saw it; I saw it too.”
As she spoke, Liniang sighed again, then said with self-mockery, “The days here are much better than in Jiuping Village, with at and wine every day, and no need to work or look after children.”
