However, if she was forced to confess, Lady Tingxue would not be willing to speak, so he had to take a more circuitous approach. He softly said, "Lady Tingxiang, I have heard about your plight and I deeply sympathize. However, one cannot live in the past forever. You have to look forward and plan for your own future, don't you think...?"
Yany Tingxiang was slightly stunned when she heard this, but she still remained silent.
"Ah," Yany Tingxiang responded with a sigh.
Indeed, with a status like hers, tainted and thrown into a brothel to suffer humiliation, if His Majesty were to find out about soone pampering her, one couldn't predict what dreadful consequences might ensue. This is also why custors did not dare to keep her.
They arrived at the room.
The Mada pushed Yany Tingxiang towards Wang Xiaoqiang and laughed, "Look at you two, a perfect match, haha... a pair blessed by heaven and earth."
"Alright, Landlady, we ought to keep this low profile. Let's discuss the price," Wang Xiaoqiang frowned slightly.
The Mada imdiately stopped laughing, sat down at the table, and said, "Sir, Lady Tingxiang is the star perforr of our Yihong Courtyard. We all rely on her to make money. If you keep her, that's for a lifeti, which is equivalent to..."
"Alright, let's talk about the price," Wang Xiaoqiang said impatiently, waving his hand.
The Mada instantly fell silent, pondered for a mont, then raised five fingers and waved them in front of Wang Xiaoqiang. She asked for an exorbitant price, "Five million taels of silver."
Yany Tingxiang almost exclaid in shock. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand, thinking, "Five million taels of silver for a brothel girl, this isn't just a scam, it's a massive scam. Even the wealthiest rchant Qian in Capital City wouldn't do such a thing, right?"
Wang Xiaoqiang, however, rely smiled lightly, "Deal."
Saying this, he waved his hand, and with a swish, a pile of silver was extracted from the Suru Ring, heaping into a mound almost as tall as a person.
This silver had been exchanged beforehand by Wang Xiaoqiang before coming to Yihong Courtyard.
Money was of no real value to him; it was like dirt. Once he conquered the Alliance of Ten Nations and swept through the Immortal Realm, wouldn't all the gold and silver in the Immortal Realm belong to him alone?
The Mada had rely given a spurious price, expecting Wang Xiaoqiang to bargain, never anticipating that he would not only refrain from bargaining but imdiately produce the entire sum of silver. In her joyous shock, her plump body trembled unceasingly, and her eyes nearly rolled back, almost making her faint.
After so ti, she managed to collect herself, swallowed an empty breath, her eyes glowing as she stared at the heap of silver, giving a thumbs up, "Sir, you are truly generous. In my whole life in Capital City, this is the first ti I've seen such magnanimity."
Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hand nonchalantly, "Have soone move it, and rember to act discreetly."
"Yes, yes, I understand," the Mada whispered.
Yany Tingxiang fell to her knees before Wang Xiaoqiang, tears streaming down her face, her lips trembling as she said, "Thank you, Young Master Li, thank you, Young Master Li..."
Wang Xiaoqiang lifted Yany Tingxiang up, held her in his arms, and said, "Alright, stop crying."
Yany Tingxiang clung to Wang Xiaoqiang, but her tears flowed unchecked, like pearls spilling from a broken string.
Very soon,
the Mada discreetly had soone move the silver away and then arranged for food and wine to entertain Wang Xiaoqiang.
Yany Tingxiang finally let go of her noble deanor, attending to Wang Xiaoqiang like an obedient wife.
After a satisfying al and drink, it was already nightfall. Yany Tingxiang assisted Wang Xiaoqiang in bathing, and then tidied herself up as well, standing in front of the mirror to fix her makeup before erging.
Wang Xiaoqiang noticed that after Yany Tingxiang had grood herself, she looked even more radiant than before. Perhaps because she was happy, her face was flushed, her skin appeared glossy, and a smile adorned her face. She shyly lowered her head, speaking softly, "Young Master Li, it's getting late; you should rest."
Furthermore, this matter is of great importance, and the act must be convincing, or else it would arouse suspicion from outsiders, which would be undesirable.
