Chapter 35: The Drunken Phoenix Green Building
There was a panic downstairs, and the crowd retreated in a hurry, as if he was afraid of falling on himself, and the man who said that he picked up people also fled in a panic.
Wu Ling's heart trembled, she jumped up, flew over and grabbed the woman, and quickly took her away into the distance.
Before everyone could see what was going on, they found that the woman who jumped from the height disappeared silently!
There was neither blood nor anyone on the ground! It's as if the woman had vanished into thin air!
Wu Ling's speed has always been fast, and the woman in pink didn't even react, she felt a flash of red light, and she fell to the ground in the distance.
Putting her firmly on the ground, Wu Ling sighed: "The world is beautiful, why not kill yourself." ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, and saw a woman in red standing in front of her, very different, her eyes were red like autumn maple leaves, and even her long hair was fiery red, so beautiful that she looked like a fairy coming out of a painting.
There was no expression on her face, no smile, no demeanor, cold and distant, not like a living person.
But even if she has been in the Drunken Phoenix Tower for so many years, she has never seen such a beautiful woman, and she has taken herself so far away in just a moment, she was stunned for a long time, and she only felt that it was the immortals who came down to save her.
Wu Ling looked at her stunned, thinking that she was frightened, and stood helplessly in front of her, waiting for her to calm down before answering.
After a long time, her dark eyes blinked, and then crystal tears slipped down her pink cheeks, and a mouth was the sound of crying.
"The girl doesn't know, the slave's real name is Qing Ning, and she is the top girl in this drunken Huang Building, half a year ago she befriended a son in the city, and Mama sold me to him at a price of 1,000 taels of silver, and agreed to marry half a year later, but half a year has arrived, but Mama is unwilling to let me go!"
After listening to this girl's narration, Wu Ling came to a conclusion in her heart, it turned out that this drunken Huanglou was not a place to eat and drink tea, but a place to sell girls......
But girls can also be sold?
At this time, Wu Ling remembered the conversation with Jin Rong just now, it seemed that Jin Rong had mentioned the matter of being sold into the Qinglou, and she had heard this kind of words when she heard their conversation before, or about Ma Qingfei.
They said that Ma Qingfei didn't learn and didn't know how to stay in love with the Qinglou Yingying Yanyan, and the girl who bought the Qinglou went home for fun, and almost killed his father.
Then the Qinglou where they can buy and sell girls should be here.
Wu Ling didn't understand the difference between selling a girl and selling fish and medicine, didn't she hand over the silver with one hand, and get the things and leave with the other? Why did you force the girl to jump off the building and commit suicide?
"Is it because the silver taels are not enough?" This is what Wu Ling can think of, and it is most likely to lead to the conclusion that the sale will not be successful.
"No...... Childe is not a person who lacks silver taels, and the silver has been paid two and a half years ago, because the girls in this building have recently smuggled a few, and there are few people, how can Mama let me go at this time, and ......" She raised her hand, wiped her tears, and cried mourning.
"And what?" Wu Ling also frowned, what is the use of crying like this, think of a solution.
"And ......" The woman wanted to speak and stopped, and saw that Wu Ling was almost burned.
According to Wu Ling's character, she is generally reluctant to say more and ask more, if this girl hadn't killed herself when she was there, Wu Ling might not be nosy.
"What exactly?" But after all, she was saved, even if it was to persuade her......
"And Mama repented and wanted to ...... If you want to sell my first red, if I don't have the first red...... How can I still have the face to see Fang Gongzi! Qing Ning covered her cheeks in shame and sobbed in a low voice, and large tears rolled down.
Wu Ling nodded, indeed, a woman's chastity is precious, if she loses half of it, she will no longer have a face, and she can simply jump into the river to find her death.
Presumably, this girl also made this plan to seek death for chastity.
"What about your son?" Wu Ling asked rhetorically, if she really likes it, she will definitely not leave her alone.
"I have no shame to see Fang Gongzi again, three days ago, the slave family sent Fang Gongzi back, presumably he will never come to me again......" As soon as Qing Ning mentioned Gongzi, he changed from sobbing in a low voice to crying silently, and even the thin powder on his face cried.
"Then call him back, or you can leave."
"No...... My deed of sale is still in Mama's hands, and even if I run to the ends of the earth, I will be caught......"
Wu Ling sighed, this woman looked a little timid, obviously she liked the boy very much, but she didn't dare to show her heart.
"In this way, you can think about what to do, my name is Wu Ling, I live in the Emperor's Mansion, if you have anything, go to the Emperor's Mansion to find me, and I will do my best to help you."
Wu Ling doesn't know how to persuade people, let alone how to persuade people, but after a long time, the injuries on her body may be healed, right?
"What?! The girl is from the Emperor's Mansion?! Qing Ning was startled, and fell to his knees with a plop.
"What does this mean, get up!" Wu Ling hurriedly helped Qing Ning up, and saw that the girl's tears seemed to have broken the embankment, and she couldn't bear it.
Qing Ning looked, this girl is very weird, and she is from the Emperor's Mansion, although she is extremely simple in dress, but her face is extraordinary and her temperament is also out of the dust, so she guessed that such a person cannot be a maid or a lowly person, etc., her identity and status must be different!
"Girl...... Judging by your dress and appearance, you must not be an idler, since you are from the Emperor's Mansion...... That...... But the concubines of the Emperor's Mansion may ...... The Imperial Princess? She stretched out a pair of thin white hands, trying to take Wu Ling's hands and pray.
"No, it's just an inconsequential person." Wu Ling unconsciously bypassed her hand to avoid direct contact with Qing Ning.
"Is it a maid...... Wu Ling's answer made Qing Ning a little disappointed, but then she cheered up and looked at Wu Ling again.
Wu Ling didn't know what the woman was thinking, and in a moment, the expression on her face changed so quickly that Wu Ling couldn't comprehend her thoughts.
"Then you can meet the emperor, right? Right! She suddenly became anxious again, pulling Wu Ling's sleeve and asking urgently.
"Yes." Wu Ling nodded, not understanding what she meant, but seeing that she was so anxious, she let her hold her cuffs.
"Great! Please, can you help me!! She wiped tears from her face, but more tears rolled down her eyes.
Wu Ling didn't say anything, she was a little at a loss, this woman's every move reminded her of the previous Concubine Ying.
Qing Ning was still crying, and Wu Ling pulled her up and waited for her to speak.
After a long time, in Qing Ning's crying, Wu Ling finally understood what she was crying about.
The reason is that her grandmother was afraid of power, so she simply broke the contract and sold her to the emperor, but the emperor did not buy her, but only asked for her chastity.
As a woman, although Wu Ling never thinks that she can compare with those weak women, chastity is naturally the most important.
As for which emperor bought her, Qing Ning didn't know, only that it was the emperor.
Of the nineteen emperors of the dynasty, only eight have reached adulthood, and the remaining eleven emperors are still in their teenage years, so they should not do such a foolish thing.
Wu Ling still wants to help this woman in her heart, after all, she is sold as a thing, and this kind of inability to survive according to her own wishes is still very similar to Wu Ling herself.
Maybe it's because I have suffering in my heart, so I'm more willing to help.
Although Wu Ling didn't know what was going on in Qinglou, Qing Ning was crying like this, which showed that it was a very bad place.
Her experience was even exactly the same as Jin Rong's, thinking of Jin Rong's desolate face that fell into memories this morning, she also said that she didn't dare to think about it at all, Wu Ling decided that she must help her.
According to her, it was the emperor who bought her.
Shuo is in a coma, Cang has been fighting outside, so it is definitely not them, Xi is also in a simple state of mind, plus he has been with Shuo in the mansion all day recently, so it must not be the emperors he knows.
Wu Ling groaned for a moment, and decided to appease the woman well, and then go back and ask Cang or Xi to see if she could help say something and let the poor man go.
"You go back first, and I'll come back to you in the evening." Wu Ling looked at the charming beauty who couldn't stop crying and sighed.
"I don't want to go back...... Let me go back, I'd rather die! She clutched Wu Ling's cuffs and refused to let her go, as if as soon as Wu Ling left, she lost hope of life again.
"This ......" Wu Ling hesitated for a moment, "This is a good idea." ”
"What did you say?" Qing Ning was stunned.
"Yes, it's a good idea to die." Wu Ling was awakened by her words, instead of meddling in things to find other emperors to theorize about useless things, it was better to die and be empty.
"Why did that girl save me...... Just let me die......" Qing Ning lost his mind for a moment, looking as if he had lost a life-saving rope......
"That's not the case, you go back first, agree to all the requirements that Mama said, dress yourself beautifully, smile at people, and still come to you in the evening, everything has its own results."
"Really?" Qing Ning looked at the life-saving benefactor in front of her, she never smiled from beginning to end, she looked like a very serious person, it shouldn't look like she would lie to herself......
"Yes." Wu Ling nodded again.
"That'...... Thank you, girl, for your kindness. Qing Ning wiped away her tears, knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Ling, then turned around and left, returning to the Drunken Phoenix Tower.
Wu Ling stood from a distance and watched, a group of people saw that she came back safe and sound, and Qing Ning really did what Wu Ling said, smiling at people, although there were still some tears on her face, but she did not lose that coquettishness.
Wu Ling turned around and continued to walk towards the medicine store, and began to plan in her heart how to rescue the woman without attracting attention in her actions at night.
