Yan Feng noticed that Cai Qin and Cai Sang were peeking at the snacks on the table, and the corners of his lips hooked, secretly feeling funny in his heart. He suddenly came up with a ghost idea to punish the little girl who didn't know the height of the sky.

Yan Feng said to Cai Qin and Cai Sang: "I like minions who don't have many mouths and tongues, I don't want your two mouths to be idle, so I will reward you with snacks to eat." Get up, and let that sharp-tongued continue to scold me. ”

Yan Feng imagined Murong Zhining's mood at the moment: she hungrily watched her companion eating delicious snacks in front of her, while she herself could only endure the torment of a hundred claws scratching her heart. She finally realized how foolish it was to go against the emperor, she knelt on the ground, wept bitterly and begged Yan Feng to forgive her for her unreasonable confrontation, and begged Lord Yan Feng to give her a bite of snacks regardless of the villain. Thinking of this, Yan Feng's face appeared with an unkind smile that was extremely inconsistent with his identity.

Cai Qin was ecstatic, staring at the snacks on the table, her eyes glowing green. Hearing that Yan Feng wanted to reward her for eating, he hurriedly grabbed a plate of chestnut cakes handed by the palace maid and devoured them. Because she ate too fast, she choked so much that she couldn't breathe, which made the palace maids and eunuchs next to her cover their mouths and laugh lowly.

Cai Sang was also very hungry, but she and Murong Zhining were good sisters. They once vowed to share blessings and hardships. No matter how hungry she is, she still has to take into account Murong Zhining's feelings. Cai Sang had the heart to refuse, but he was afraid that Yan Feng would be guilty, so he picked up a piece of dim sum and slowly handed it to his mouth. Taking advantage of everyone's laughter, she grabbed a piece of snack and quickly stuffed it into the placket. She knew that Murong Zhining must be hungry too, and she wanted to hide a piece for her.

Murong Zhining wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead, she couldn't eat enough and couldn't sleep well in the past few days, plus she had been kneeling for so long, she looked embarrassed and weak, but she still stubbornly persevered, telling the ins and outs of the matter: She vaguely remembered that she was ten years old that year and had been resold many times.

A young woman takes a little girl to a lively courtyard with many pavilions. In the courtyard, there was a group of beautiful women dressed in red and green, dressed seductively or innocently, smiling and smiling among the group of men. These men are dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes, and at first glance they are either rich or expensive. They leisurely drank wine in groups of three or five in the courtyard, listened to music, and occasionally pulled the beautiful women passing by.

The woman led the little girl to a well-dressed woman who looked to be in her forties, and said, "You will be here to be blessed with this lady." The woman turned and took a bulging bag from the lady, and left the little girl with great gratitude.

The lady took the little girl to the backyard and asked for a bath, a change of clean clothes, and a full meal.

When she saw the little girl again, Madame's eyes lit up. The little girl who changed into clean clothes, although she was born thin, her body was slender and feminine. The lady realized that she had found a treasure, and in time the little girl would become her treasure, bringing her countless possessions.

The little girl later learned that this place is called Wanhua Pavilion, which is a place for men to drink flower wine and have fun, and the common people are commonly known as brothels. Mrs. Qin's name is Qin Meixue, and she is the proprietress of this brothel. Qin Meixue was also a beauty when she was young, she was the head of another brothel, and she had several old friends who were all members of the court. Later, a mysterious financier redeemed her and opened this Wanhua Pavilion for her, with such a big backer behind her, Qin Meixue's business was booming, and the reception was all princes and nobles, rich businessmen and magnates.

Qin Meixue carefully observed the little girl's fingers: "You will be called Qin Qiuyue in the future, you will call me mother." I will let you eat and dress well, but you must listen to me. The little girl tilted her head innocently: "I can call your mother and listen to you, but my name is Murong Zhining." Before she died, my nurse told me that my real mother would come to me one day, and that I couldn't just change my name. Qin Meixue wanted to be angry, she felt that this kid had too strong a personality, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to train. After thinking about it again, this girl's name is very beautiful, so it's better to let her be, just sell her personal favor. Besides, who would dare to come to her territory to find someone?

Murong Zhining stayed in Wanhua Pavilion for five years. During this period, Qin Meixue treated her very well, and also invited a professional gentleman to teach her literacy and hyphenation, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing, dancing, tea art, etc.

Murong Zhining didn't know why Mother Qin asked her to learn this, and she didn't even know what fate the women in the brothel would face. She only knows that she has been displaced for many years, and she is too bitter and tired, she has no right to choose, and she does not want to be resold to others. Since she can't disobey the heavens, why don't you accept it calmly? In order to please Qin Meixue, she desperately learned various skills.

Gradually, her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting have improved. Her talent for the piano amazed her master even more. In addition to teaching the qin, the master also sorted out a lot of guqin scores that were about to be lost with her, which gave her a lot of knowledge.

Murong Zhining's growth made Qin Meixue very happy, and she secretly admired her unique vision. She is looking forward to the near future, Murong Zhining will become her cash cow.

However, things did not develop as Qin Meixue hoped. One day, a wealthy businessman invited Zhuang Cheng to Wanhua Pavilion for a drink, and Zhuang Cheng accidentally saw Murong Zhining playing the piano in the backyard. The girl who has just grown up is not stained with mortal dust, demure and beautiful.

Zhuang Cheng wanted to buy this girl softly, Qin Meixue finally looked forward to Murong Zhining growing up, like a flower, and soon being able to make money for her, where could she give up? However, her financier, who was a member of the court, just wanted to win over Zhuang Cheng, so she forced her to give Murong Zhining to Zhuang Cheng.

Zhuang Cheng's eldest lady is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he knows very well the consequences of bringing it back, but he doesn't dare to let it go outside and keep it privately, so he came up with a bad idea. His son had suffered from illness when he was a child, hurt his brain, and became stupid and stupid, and big families were unwilling to marry their daughters to such fools. So he took Murong Zhining back to Zhuang's mansion under the pretext of raising a child daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Zhuang saw that Murong Zhining was very good-looking, so she agreed beautifully.

At the beginning, Mrs. Zhuang was still able to treat Murong Zhining well, and only treated her as an ordinary maid. Zhuang Cheng is a thief who has no courage to be a thief, so he can only secretly move his hands and feet against Murong Zhi. Helplessly, she is smart and alert by nature, and Zhuang Cheng can't always get a little cheap from her. But after a long time, Mrs. Zhuang was aware. Once Zhuang Cheng touched Murong Zhi's little hand while she was serving tea, and was seen by Mrs. Zhuang. Mrs. Zhuang thought that Zhuang Cheng was a wreck, and she didn't have the courage to do so, and she concluded that it was Murong Zhining who took the initiative to seduce Zhuang Cheng.

Mrs. Zhuang is a well-known vinegar jar, she beat Murong Zhining, transferred her to her side as a maid, and always sent her some dirty work to do. Mrs. Zhuang scolded Murong Zhining, and often humiliated her in front of others, saying that she was frivolous and cheap. The subordinates in the house are all grass on the wall, and when they saw that Murong Zhining had offended Mrs., they also followed to humiliate and exclude her, and Cai Qin was one of them.

Cai Qin has a good little guy, in order to please Cai Qin, he spread rumors everywhere that he had witnessed the old man Zhuang Cheng and Murong Zhining meeting secretly behind the rockery in the back garden.

Cai Qin was already jealous of Murong Zhining, and wanted to please Mrs. Zhuang, she immediately reported this groundless news to Mrs. Zhuang, and she wanted to borrow Mrs. Zhuang's hand to teach Murong Zhining a fierce lesson. Mrs. Zhuang knocked over the vinegar jar, she was so angry that she beat Murong Zhining hard, and scratched Zhuang Cheng's old face.

The ruthless Mrs. Zhuang did not let Murong Zhining go easily, she forcibly locked her stupid son and Murong Zhining in a room, wanting to borrow her stupid son's hand to destroy Murong Zhining, and then justifiably accepted Murong Zhining as a side room for her stupid son. She played a good wishful thinking, which could not only break Zhuang Cheng's thief heart, but also make a beautiful concubine for her stupid son. In her mind, although her son is stupid, he is born noble. And Murong Zhining is just a cheap girl of unknown origin, who is not worthy of the lintel of the banker's house, and she can only be her stupid son's concubine in the future. Fortunately, God has mercy, that fool doesn't understand anything except eating, drinking, and playing, and Murong Zhining is fine with him.

Seeing that her wishful thinking had failed, Mrs. Zhuang angrily punished Murong Zhining to the kitchen and asked her to do the dirtiest and most tiring work.

Until Zhuang Cheng was investigated and punished for corruption, Murong Zhining had been a rough envoy in Zhuang Mansion during this period. She is not the child daughter-in-law of the Zhuang family at all, and Zhuang Cheng has never had a chance to get involved with her.

Yan Feng listened to Murong Zhining's narration, and the disdain on his face was even worse. He didn't believe that this little woman who dared to scold him for being a faint monarch was innocent, and he didn't intend to let Murong Zhining go, he wanted to avenge the insult. Not only does he have to expose this hypocritical woman on the spot, but he also has to prove that she is full of lies and filthy.

Yan Feng shook his noble head disdainfully: "With your words, how can you prove your innocence? Cai Qin also echoed beside her, calling the emperor wise.

Cai Qin's shamelessness and falling into the well made Cai Sang hate itchy, but Cai Sang was timid and stupid, and she didn't know how to defend Murong Zhining, she was anxious and helpless.

In addition to being vindictive, Yan Feng also has a curious heart. He not only wanted to verify his guess, but also wanted to humiliate Murong Zhining by the way. In order to deal with this saliva lawsuit as soon as possible, he came up with an idea, he wanted someone to examine Murong Zhining's body.

Murong Zhining was embarrassed and angry, but she agreed without hesitation. She knew that the emperor would not give up, and would definitely do everything to embarrass her. She didn't bother to prove anything to him, but she had to, and she had no other way.

The personal eunuch soon sent an experienced old palace maid, and several people brought Murong Zhining into a room. Murong Zhining had never undergone a physical examination, and she was also curious.

The old palace maid sent away the idlers and others, and ordered Murong Zhi to lie down in her wide clothes. When she learned that she not only had to strip naked, but also had to check the most secret places, Murong Zhining's face turned red, and she squirmed and refused to cooperate. Her shame was so strong that tears glistened in her eyes.

The old palace maid did not embarrass her, her eyes fell on her lower abdomen, and she touched her belly with her hand. Murong Zhining shyly covered her face with her little hands, and her eyes quietly looked at the old palace maid from between her fingers. The old palace maid's face slowly sank, and she looked like she wanted to say something. She hesitated for a long time, and finally didn't say anything, and went out to resume her life.

Yan Feng waited for a long time, in his opinion, this kind of thing didn't need to be tested for so long, he guessed that it must be that woman who was afraid of revealing her stuffing and refused to cooperate. Yan Feng was extremely impatient because of this, and walked around with his hands behind his back. The personal eunuch next to him kept fanning him, trying to soothe his anger a little.

Finally, a eunuch who followed came back at a trot, and the little eunuch bowed his head and whispered in Yan Feng's ear.
