Chapter 653: Buying a henchman
Stunning city?! Not like a mortal?!
The moment these words of praise came out of Xi'er's mouth, Peony felt as if she was about to tear the bronze mirror under her hand.
Yes, I'm afraid that only such an outstanding woman can be fascinated by Wan Xiuran, who has seen countless beauties, so haunting her dreams.
Peony's face squeezed out a sad smile, since the tragic life experience of childhood is like planting a seed for her in her heart, this seed did not take root and germinate when she was in the Phoenix Tower, because in the first few years of the Phoenix Tower, she lived a life of being sought after by others, in such a drunken environment, there was no time for her to be inferior, let her to self-pity, and she would never have thought that one day, she would go from the peak to no one.
It wasn't until she experienced more, watched more, and grew older that she really saw the ugliness of human nature clearly, and she gradually had a sense of crisis; The moment this consciousness was born in her heart, the seed began to really take root and sprout.
The little seed grows in the fertile land, irrigated by all kinds of wind and rain over time, and accompanies her through her most beautiful flowering period, until the moment when the most beautiful peony flower in her building is about to decay, the seed grows into a towering tree; And this towering tree is called fear, and it is also called fear.
She was afraid that she would be abandoned again, afraid that she would be alone and alone again, so when this seed was growing madly, she also began to frantically look for her own life-saving straw; At the moment when she met Wan Xiuran, she thought she had found it, but she didn't expect that her heart had just been a little steady, and someone jumped out and snatched away the straw she was holding in her hand.
Therefore, in Peony's opinion at this time, whether Wan Xiuran fell in love with that woman first or that woman deliberately wanted to snatch Wan Xiuran from her side, for her, that woman was an eyesore.
The corners of Peony's eyes flashed with jealousy and viciousness, she had lived in such an environment for several years, and she had long been accustomed to all kinds of means, so she was not really a good person; Naturally, it is also clear that if you want to get what you desire, you have to use the means to snatch it, and trample all those who dare to covet your things under your feet or make them disappear, so that what belongs to you can be regarded as truly yours.
Therefore, after Peony was resentful, she immediately made a decision in her heart and asked Xi'er, who was waiting by her side: "I heard that Huang Ba has been staying in the building for the past two days, but I don't know if he is in that girl's house?" ”
Hearing Peony say this, Xi'er immediately understood the meaning of her words, and then thought of Huang Ba's fierce and vicious ruffian, for fear that the girl she was serving would do something foolish, so she quickly opened her mouth to dissuade her: "Girl, you also know that Huang Ba is the head snake of Qulan Town, and basically no one dares to provoke him; In the past, he coveted the girl's beauty and wanted to be the girl's guest of the scene, didn't you humiliate him in public? Why did you inquire about him today? ”
Peony knew that Xi'er was a smart girl, otherwise she would not have climbed from a handyman doing rough work to her side in just a few years and became her personal girl.
Therefore, in the face of Xi'er, she does not hide her thoughts, because she believes that after knowing her plan, Xi'er will definitely stand on her side to help her.
Peony raised her head and looked at Xi'er, Qing Lingling's eyes were resolute and ruthless: "Xi'er, you should be able to see that your girl is about to run out of food in the Phoenix Building, how many people have stared at my position over the years, but who snatched it from me?" If I were your age now, I would naturally disdain to use such means to get everything I want; But now, I have no way out, if I really entrust my next days in the Phoenix Building at will, let myself get drunk and dream here, I believe that it won't be long before I will be thrown off the position of Oiran, and I will no longer be a cash cow in the hands of the ** son; You are also a girl who has lived in this Phoenix Building since you were a child, and you should have seen a lot of girls who were once beautiful and what would become after falling from the clouds. ”
Speaking of this, Peony shuddered, as if she had imagined the miserable and difficult life, her voice was full of trills, and she continued to say to Xi'er: "I don't want to live like that, let alone watch myself being abused day by day, so I want to work hard for myself." ”
Peony looked at Xi'er's eyes and immediately burst out with dazzling light, as if she had found a new hope, and said, "Xi'er, do you remember Wan Gongzi?" His identity is extraordinary, as long as I follow his side, I will be redeemed, and I can see that he is also a little affectionate towards me, but now there is an accident between us, as long as I can solve this accident, all the difficulties will be solved. ”
Saying that, Peony grabbed Xi'er's hand, and also lured her with a voice full of temptation, and said: "Xi'er, you signed a deed of sale to Phoenix Tower, in other words, you have to work hard in Phoenix Tower for the rest of your life, if I leave, then you have to serve other girls, do you dare to guarantee that the next master you meet will be better than me?" Think about your good sister Xiaoshuang, your appearance is no worse than Xiaoshuang's, and her fate is likely to be a portrayal of you in the future. ”
Hearing that Xiaoshuang was mentioned by Peony, Xi'er subconsciously opened her eyes wide, and her eyes were full of fear and fear.
Xiaoshuang is a girl as big as her, they have known each other since childhood, and their relationship in private is also very good because of their similar age; Xiao Shuangsheng is quite cute and cute, with a round apple face always with a bright smile, revealing coquettishness and innocence; Xiaoshuang doesn't have her cleverness, so after so many years, she still just starts in the room in the building.
She once wanted to rely on her relationship with Peony to find a light job for Xiaoshuang, but Xiaoshuang told her that she was very satisfied with her current life, calm and peaceful, and just thought about what to do delicious food for the girls every day.
Such a simple little frost is like another scenery in the Phoenix Tower, which makes people feel calm just by looking at it.
But Xiaoshuang, who never competed with others, suddenly died one day, and Xi'er still remembers Xiaoshuang's tragic death; A person was lying alone in the firewood room in the backyard, his clothes were stripped clean, and almost no piece of his bare skin was good; Although Xi'er hasn't experienced those things yet, the girl in the building is not a person who knows a little about things between men and women.
Afterwards, someone told her that Xiaoshuang was tortured to death, and the person who tortured her was a regular visitor in the building; I heard that the regular customer was a cruel master, and he accidentally saw Xiaoshuang who came to deliver food, and together with a girl in the building, he tricked Xiaoshuang to the firewood room, and then the current tragedy happened.
Xi'er has been in the Phoenix Building since she was a child, so she knows the rules of the building very well, and knows that the most valuable people in the Phoenix Building are the beautiful girls, and as for the subordinates like them, they are as cheap as grass mustard, even if they die, no one stands up to seek justice for them.
Therefore, Xi'er knew that Peony's words were not alarmist, Peony was a good master, she followed her side, and was more or less protected by some Peony; But if Peony was dragged off the throne of Oiran, she would naturally be transferred from Peony's side and sent to serve them by the other girls.
Many of the girls in the building are gloomy people, and how many of the people who live in such an environment are psychologically normal?
If the next master she met was a black-hearted person, wouldn't she have to embark on a desperate path similar to Xiaoshuang?
Thinking that he had worked so hard to climb to today's position, it was very likely that he would lose everything overnight, and even his own life could no longer be controlled by himself, Xi'er's frightened little face turned white, cold sweat flowed backwards, and she looked at Peony as if she saw a savior who could save herself, and she no longer barely maintained the calmness on her face, and knelt on the ground with a 'poof', and kept kowtowing to Peony, and said: "Girl, please take the slave and maid with you, the slave and maid are willing to follow the girl faithfully and take care of the girl for the rest of her life." , to serve the girl. ”
For Peony, what she needs most at the moment is a loyal and reliable person; She knows Xi'er's ability, if she can have such a clever girl by her side, she will be able to get twice the result with half the effort if she wants to do it.
Therefore, at the moment when she saw Xi'er kneeling on the ground begging her, Peony's eyes showed a satisfied smile, and she personally helped Xi'er who was kneeling on the ground up, looked at her frightened pale little face, touched her face as if distressed, and said with pity: "Look at your little pale face, why are you scared like this?" Xi'er, our master and servant are also affectionate and fateful, as long as you are willing to follow me and do things for me loyally, I am willing to take you with me. ”
Xi'er hurriedly said: "The slave is willing, as long as she can follow the girl's side, let the slave and maid do whatever the slave and maid are willing." ”
"Okay, then you need to remember what you said."
Peony leaned close to Xi'er's ear, whispered a few words to her, and finally looked at Xi'er, who was taken aback, and told her repeatedly: "You must be careful in this matter, don't alarm anyone, remember, if this matter is done well, our master and servant can leave the Phoenix Tower; When the time comes, what awaits us will be endless glory and wealth. ”
