At that time, the two sisters had just been sold into the Sifang Pavilion by the gambler's father, and Qing Wan was older, and she was slim and elegant, neither her face nor her posture was at all better than the top card of the Sifang Pavilion. Although Qinghuan is young, she is also a beauty, and the old bustard of the Sifang Pavilion will raise these two sisters as treasures.

Not only did they invite their master to teach them to play the piano and paint, but they also paid special attention to the reputation of the two sisters, and almost never let those guests touch them. But they understand that this is not because of the bustard's kindness, but because they can bring more benefits to her.

Finally, that day came. Qing Ting watched as the fat man grabbed Qing Huan's waist and was about to go upstairs, but Qing Huan's face was pale, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and her eyes were full of despair.

Just as Qing Ting was about to rush forward and push the man away desperately, a slightly cold voice sounded.

"This man wants it."

That man was Zhao Duo. Qinghuan's eyes lit up, and in an instant, Zhao Duo was her god, the god who could save her from the sea of suffering. It's a pity that Qinghuan at that time didn't notice the indifference in Zhao Duo's eyes.

Qing Ting watched the fat man tremblingly let go of the hand around Qing Wan's waist, watched him flatteringly curry favor with Zhao Duo, and watched Zhao Duo take Qing Wan's hand and walk to the private room on the second floor.

At that time, Qing Ting didn't know that Qing Wan was not going to be reborn, but to destroy.

After that, things were very logical, Zhao Duo entrusted Wang Yuanwai to redeem the two of them, and Qing Wan happily took Qing Ting to prepare to live in Zhao Duo's mansion.

Qing Wan's shy and happy smile is still deeply rooted in Qing Ting's memory, and Qing Wan's smile at that time revealed a sense of happiness. Although Qingting was happy for her, she was faintly uneasy in her heart, after all, she was just a bystander that day, but some things are often only seen most clearly by bystanders.

Zhao Duo's eyes did not have the slightest pity for Qing Huan, and that kind of indifference that was cold to the bone made Qing Ting panic in her heart.

Sure enough, not long after, Zhao Duo sent Qinghuan to the palace, and she was sent to a separate garden on the outskirts of Beijing, where Zhao Duo used her as a bargaining chip to threaten Qinghuan.

"You don't actually have to bet on me, my sister is willing to do anything for you, what about you, do you like my sister?" That was the first time Qing Ting had spoken to Zhao Duo, she looked at Zhao Duo with an indifferent expression, although she was already scared to death, there was always a force in her body supporting her, no matter what, she had to ask her sister clearly.

Zhao Duo was stunned for a moment when he was asked, but soon he evoked a mocking smile and said, "Cheap daring!" ”

Indifferent and ruthless, at that moment, Qingting felt deeply worthless for her sister.

"I didn't expect him to kill her with his own hands, even if he didn't have the slightest emotion, he shouldn't be so cold-blooded and ruthless." Qing Ting tugged at her hair in pain, as if she had returned to those dark days.

Seeing this, Jing Ning hurriedly restrained Qing Ting's wrist and said softly: "It's okay, it's all over." ”

Qing Ting gradually calmed down, her eyes looked ahead in a daze, and that gaze seemed to penetrate the curtain of the car and landed far away.

"If you can't get by, even if that beast apologizes for its sin with death, this matter can't be passed." Qing Ting's tone was very light, but the chill in her voice made Jing Ning shiver slightly.

At this moment, a man's cry suddenly sounded outside the carriage: "Ting'er! I'm Daddy! Come out of here! ”

Jing Ning looked at Qing Ting, only to see her delicate eyebrows twisted, her eyes full of hatred. Jing Ning knew in her heart that it seemed that outside the carriage was her gambler father.

"Ting'er! If you don't want to come out, you can borrow some money from your father! They're asking for debt again! I don't have to sell anymore! The man's cry was louder than louder.

Jing Ning lifted the curtain and looked at it, only to see a man about forty years old kneeling in front of the carriage, the man was in rags, his hair was also messy, and he looked no different from the street beggar, the man was crying and kowtowing to Jing Ning's carriage.

Jing Ning frowned, how could there be such a coincidence, he just met Zhao Duo, and now he met this gambler, thinking that it should have been arranged by Zhao Duo. Jing Ning whispered a few words to the coachman and returned to the carriage. The coachman drove the carriage around the gambler and hurried towards the general's palace.

The gambler seemed intent on catching up, but he could not outrun the carriage, and the cries faded into obscurity.

"Your dad ...... him"

"He's not my father!"

Jing Ning wanted to ask Qing Ting's meaning, but she didn't expect Qing Ting's reaction to be so violent, she turned to Jing Ning, there was a little scarlet in her eyes, she choked up: "Since the day he sold us, I have no father." ”

Qinghuan cried before she finished speaking, Jing Ning's heart was sour, and she gently patted her back for comfort. After half a cup of tea, the carriage finally arrived at the General's Mansion, and there was no one who stopped him on the road, Jing Ning breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally brought the person back safely.

After instructing his subordinates to take care of Qingting, Jing Ning went back to his yard and summoned Luohua.

"Miss, what do you command?"

"Keep an eye on Zhao Duo, if he has any suspicious actions, tell me immediately." Jing Ning said in a deep voice. Although she saved Qing Ting today, according to Zhao Duo's temperament, whether it is Qing Ting or herself, she will definitely not live in peace in the future, and Zhao Duo is a wolf with ambitions, Jing Ning is worried that he will attack Song Yuan again.

Luohua took the order and retreated, Jing Ning felt a little sleepy, so he called Wen Xing to wait for him to sleep.

Early in the morning of the second day, Lan Yao came to the General's Mansion and discussed with Jing Ning about worshipping his ancestors.

Ancestor worship is a major event in the Zhao State, once every five years, every time the emperor needs to lead the children of the clan and the Manchu Dynasty to the suburbs of Beijing to climb the mountain to worship the ancestors, and this year happens to be the year of ancestor worship.

"This year's ancestor worship is in a hurry, Lishan is holding a temple fair in recent days, and we can just take a look after taking our ancestors." Lan Yao excitedly talked to Jing Ning about the excitement of the temple fair, as if she had been there herself.

Jing Ning listened helplessly to Lan Yao's chatter over there, but he was secretly worried in his heart. Song Yuan must not be able to shirk the matter of worshipping ancestors, he will inevitably leave the palace at that time, the guards outside the palace are not as strict as those in the palace, if Zhao Duo makes a move during this period, I am afraid that Song Yuan is in a worrying situation.

"What do you think? Come back to your soul! Seeing that Jing Ning didn't speak, Lan Yao stretched out his hand and shook it slightly in front of her twice, and finally summoned Jing Ning's soul back.

Jing Ning pulled out a smile and shook her head slightly, she didn't want to involve Lan Yao in these things, so the less Lan Yao knew, the safer it was.

"You don't even want to be lazy to worship your ancestors, do you?" Lan Yao looked at Jing Ning with wide eyes, as if she was frightened by her own thoughts.
