The person in Gui Hu’s arms was delicate, with a pale face and beautiful eyes full of tears, clinging to him as if she were rooted in his embrace.
"Brother Hu, I thought I’d never see you again in my life."
It was none other than the Oiran of Taoyao Pavilion.
Xin Lin’s face fell, glaring at Gui Hu.
Didn’t she say that if she went inside, she’d be discovered?
Turns out, she brought soone out who wouldn’t be noticed?
"Why are you just standing there? Help her."
Gui Hu hadn’t realized that at this mont, Xin Lin’s small stature was exuding a strong, indefinable scent of jealousy.
Xin Lin wasn’t blind.
She could clearly see that the Oiran was ill.
But even so, she felt uneasy at heart.
"If you’re going to help, just help. Is it necessary to hold and hug? Haven’t you heard of n and won should keep their distance?"
Xin Lin continued to grumble.
"What are you mumbling about?"
Gui Hu glanced sideways at Xin Lin.
Xin Lin remained silent, turned, and walked away.
Inside the small wooden house number twenty-four.
The Oiran lay on Xin Lin’s bed.
Gui Hu looked a bit puzzled, glancing at Xin Lin.
All the way back, Xin Lin hadn’t said a word.
After they returned to the cabin, she only said two things, both directed at the Oiran.
How had he provoked that little thing?
"Sister Xin Lin, Brother Hu, you must save the boss, the boss has been taken by those people."
When the Oiran was rescued, she was very weak, almost incoherent.
Xin Lin gave her so Jade Pure Spring to drink; she vomited several tis before gaining so clarity.
She opened her eyes, saw Xin Lin, and beca very emotional, refusing to let go of her.
"Hua Kui, first tell what’s been happening at Taoyao Pavilion lately? Why do you have... opium poisoning on you?"
After Gui Hu rescued the Oiran, Xin Lin diagnosed her and discovered she was full of opium effects.
This was much more severe than Yang Su using opium to smoke firewood and then using the wood to steam buns.
"I don’t know either; I was just forced to take so herbal redies. They said it was for nourishnt, but after taking it, I beca groggy and had to consu those redies daily. The other sisters in the pavilion were the sa. We wanted to ask the boss what was happening, but the boss had disappeared. Then Master Chen arrived and said from now on, he was our boss. If the sisters tried to escape, they would be beaten and humiliated, and our redies would be cut off. Without taking those redies, we would feel weak and drowsy, easily bullied. This has been going on for over ten days."
After speaking, the Oiran burst into tears.
Although Taoyao Pavilion was a brothel, when the boss and Master Ji were still around, they treated her well.
The Oiran, being both beautiful and talented, was famous for selling art rather than her body—a pure woman.
But the day after Master Chen arrived, he took advantage of her during the effects of the drugs and violated her.
After the incident, she attempted suicide several tis, but was caught each ti.
Master Chen also ordered more redies to be forcibly administered to her, leaving her wishing she were dead each day.
She learned in the afternoon that Master Chen planned to sell Taoyao Pavilion and wanted to take her as a concubine.
Anguished and ashad, knowing there was no future, she swallowed gold ornants, hoping to end it all.
Fortunately, Gui Hu arrived and saved her.
Earlier, Gui Hu hadn’t co out imdiately because he was busy saving the Oiran.
