Chapter 760: Chapter 760 Arresting and Bringing Back to the Palace to Beg for Mercy (1)_1

Si Nier’s disappearance after being sold was a pain in everyone’s heart at the Wu family and also temporarily eased the intensified conflict between the mother and son of the Wu family.

After leaving the Wu family, Mo Yan’s mood was very complex. The first time she heard the name "Qingqing" from Tie Tou’s mouth, she felt it was familiar. Then, recalling that this woman also came from a brothel, she was almost certain in her heart. Nonetheless, she held onto the last thread of hope and asked Xuetuanzi in her consciousness, "Is the Qingqing that Brother Tie Tou mentioned the Liu Qingqing who helped scheme against Lao Mo’s House that time?"

Soon, the mature voice of Xuetuanzi echoed in her mind, "If not her, then who else could it be?"

So it really was her!

Mo Yan cradled her forehead, suddenly feeling like she might have done something foolish.

To help Tie Tou’s siblings break away from Lao Mo’s House, Mo Yan had taken the token that Yan Junyu once gave her and went to Yanyu House to find a girl to put on a play. After all, good family girls valued their reputation much more than money; no amount of silver could entice them to do such a charade.

Yanyu House, acquired by Yan Junyu years ago on a bet, seemed on the surface like any regular brothel, but inside, the girls were each beautiful and had been specially trained as Hidden Guards, collecting all sorts of information from the clients.

These girls naturally had to perform arts to win the guests’ hearts. As for whether they would let a client stay overnight, it was entirely up to their wishes; Yanyu House would not interfere as long as the girls obtained the information their master needed.

Liu Qingqing, however, was an exception. She had been one of the girls before Yanyu House changed ownership. After the previous owner disbanded the original girls, leaving her with nowhere to go, she had been deeply hurt by her relatives. Even if she returned home, she couldn’t escape being sold again.

Learning that she wouldn’t have to accompany customers if she stayed, she volunteered to stay, planning to save up a sum of silver and live the rest of her life in a place where no one recognized her.

However, Yanyu House didn’t trust leaving such an "outsider" behind, but after Liu Qingqing’s pleading and seeing that she was indeed pitiable, they redrafted a servitude contract for her, warning her not to reveal any secrets of Yanyu House, allowing her to stay and entertain ordinary clients. Whether she accompanied clients overnight was also entirely up to her.

Having narrowly escaped a life shrouded in darkness, Liu Qingqing naturally refused to engage in such activities again. Every day she played music for clients, danced, and recited poetry. Protected by Yanyu House and with a lucrative monthly income, her life was quite good. Over the years, she had saved enough silver and started to consider reforming herself.

As Liu Qingqing was compliant and smart, bringing much popularity to Yanyu House and uncovering many useful pieces of intelligence, the madam of Yanyu House was reluctant to let her go, wanting to keep her for a few more years, even promising to find her a good family afterward.

Liu Qingqing had long given up the idea of marriage and was unmoved by the madam’s offer. When Mo Yan arrived at Yanyu House, Liu Qingqing was in the midst of a standoff with the madam.

Seeing that Mo Yan was a friend of the master, the madam treated her very courteously. Upon hearing her purpose, she eagerly gathered the girls for Mo Yan to choose from.

Liu Qingqing saw this as an opportunity to leave Yanyu House, so she stepped forward, asking in return for Mo Yan to put in a good word for her with the madam, to release her service contract and allow her to reform herself.

Seeing Liu Qingqing bring up such a matter in front of an esteemed guest, the madam knew she was determined to leave. Fearing she might cause trouble if forced to stay, she agreed to the request even before Mo Yan spoke up, stating that if Liu Qingqing helped the esteemed guest successfully accomplish the task, she would release her service contract and grant her freedom.

In the end, Liu Qingqing successfully completed the task assigned by Mo Yan and, after paying one hundred taels of silver to redeem herself from servitude, left with her maid.
