Chapter 1377: Life on the Line

days"He was stunned into silence.Seeing his reaction, she understood.It's no wonder he looked more and more tired each day, his eyes bloodshot.He said it was caused by drinking tea at night and being..."Purple smoke in the capital's brothels is also full of splendor, but unfortunately, it has always been overshadowed by me."

"She envies me, but she's helpless. Knowing that my desire is to reform, she sent Master Fang here to stage this play..."

At this point, Yunjie's whole body was trembling.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

His fingers clutched tightly at the blanket in front of him, his knuckles white with tension.

Those tears, like beads on a broken string, fell drop by drop.

"Yunniang, come, have some tea and tell me slowly."

Yang Ruqing said, and handed Yunjie a bowl of tea.

Yunniang took the tea and gave Yang Ruqing a grateful look, then continued to tell her about her experiences.

"Last night, I found out about the things he and Ziyan did behind my back. My heart turned cold." Yun'niao said.

“Just because you knew the truth, you chose to commit suicide by jumping into the river” Yang Ruqing asked.

"For a man like that, worth risking your life for" she asked again.

The Yun girl shook her head busily.

"I wouldn't be so foolish. I still remember what Huajie told me when I left Xiangyulou."

"If one day Master Fang betrays me, let me return to the Xiangyu Building, and my sisters and I will depend on each other for life!"

"I want to disembark and return to the capital city."

But he wouldn't let me go.

He not only wanted to steal my jewelry box, because he knew it was full of my savings.

He also called for some people's children to come over, intending to sell me.

In a fit of rage, I picked up the jewelry box and jumped into the river.

Even in death, I will not allow him to benefit from this in the slightest!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Yun Niang's words came to an end here, because what happened next was that her life was not meant to end. She was rescued by Yang Ruqing.

And she remained attached to her jewelry box.

While Yang Ruqing, Xiao Yaxue, and Tuoba Xian by the bed listened to Yunniang's experience, they were also filled with anger and pity.

Yang Ruqing shook her head secretly.

Yun Niang's experience is strikingly similar to that of Du Shi Niang!

However, in this version, there is also an additional female supporting character named Ziyan.

"Yun Niang, what are you going to do next"

Here, Xiao Ya Xue cursed the man thoroughly before turning to Yun Niang.

The girl shook her head.

"I don't know what to do..."

The world is so vast, yet there is nowhere for me to call home.

Xiao Yaxue said, "Will you be returning to Xiangyulou"

When it comes to this, Yun-niao's face darkens.

"Xiangyu Lou has been greatly affected by my departure."

During the month I was gone, Xiangyulou's business was completely overshadowed by Qunfanglou. Ziyān was even more popular than ever.

"Where could I possibly face going back to Xiangyulou" Yunjie said.

Xiao Yaxue said, "Face doesn't matter. The important thing is that you go back and help Hua Jie rebuild Xiangyulou!"

Yún Niang smiled wryly.

She pushed up the hair that was falling over her left cheek, exposing it.

“When we were in bed, he once pushed me into the corner of a table with his hand, and my cheek hit here, leaving a scar.”

"My face is ruined, even if I return to Xiangyulou, I can never regain my former glory." Yunniang said.

Three people in the room fell silent.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

For a woman who relies on her looks to please her patrons, once her beauty is gone, she's practically ruined.

“Luckily, this jewelry box wasn't lost. I plan to use the money inside to find a small place and spend my days peacefully...”

"Hi!"

Yang Ruqing suddenly laughed, she picked up a bowl of tea from the side and took a sip.

"Yun Niang, don't be discouraged when facing difficulties."

“Being framed like that by Ziyān and Fang, you're still hiding You should get revenge for this!” Yang Ruocheng said.

Yun Niang was stunned and looked at Yang Ruqing with a confused expression.

Tuoba Xian and Xiao Ya Xue weren't too shocked, because they were clear about Yang Ruo Qing's abilities.

Such a thing is, for Yun's daughter, a calamity from heaven.

But for Yang Ruqing, it's nothing at all!

Here, Yang Ruqing continued to Yunniang, "We are going to the capital as well. You can go with us."

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Is the owner of Xiangyulou still Hua Jie

“Alright, I'll close down Xiangyulou and have Huajie come over to help me with things.”

As for your Yunniang, rest assured, with me here, I will definitely get you back to being the number one courtesan in the capital, allowing you to reign as the flower of the brothel once more! Yang Ruocheng said.

When Yunniang heard this, the despair in her eyes faded away, replaced by a glimmer of hope.

As for that Ziyān and Fanggǒu who harmed you, we'll get our due from them with interest!

Finally, with a deep bow from Yun'niao, Yang Ruqing and her two companions left the room.

“Qing'er, are you really going to buy that brothel” Xiao Yaxue asked.

Yang Ruqing nodded.

Xiao Yaxue said: "Qing'er, I didn't expect you to still want to be a madam"

Yang Ruqing gave her a withering look: "What's wrong with the madam The madam has good things!"

These days are nothing compared to modern society.

In ancient times, brothels were legitimate businesses protected by the government.

In this ancient era where spiritual life was severely lacking, seeking pleasure in brothels was a common need, openly and honestly.

"Sister-in-law, have you never been to a brothel" Yang Ruqing asked.

Xiao Yaxue blushed, "What would a woman do in that kind of place It's a den of debauchery for men!"

That day Song went to the place as usual, going back and forth. She felt that he wasn't just emptied of his wallet, but also his kidneys.

Seeing Xiao Ya Xue like this, Yang Ru Qing smiled.

It's obvious that many women in this era don't understand brothels.

Yang Ruqing pushed open the door to her guest room and invited Tuo Ba Xian and Xiao Yaxue into the house.

"The qinglou is not just a place for drinking flower wine in the past, there can be delicious food and dancing."

Yang Ruqing explained, "Besides that, the qinglou is the biggest channel for information circulation. News from all over the place could be circulated here."

“The reason I'm opening the best brothel in the capital is twofold.”

"Firstly, accumulate wealth."

“In the future, we have to go back to Daliao. We must fight back. Fighting a war requires a lot of money, a tremendous amount of money.”

Tuoba Xian nodded, agreeing with Yang Ruoqing's words.

When she left the Liao Kingdom last time, she didn't bring much silver with her.

However, these few pieces of jewelry that I carry with me can be used as collateral. As long as I manage my finances well, there will be no problem for three or five years.

But when it came to fighting, she couldn't pull anything out.

Well, the daughter-in-law is intelligent and has a broad vision.

Here, Yang Ruoqing saw the approval in her mother-in-law's eyes and was also very pleased.

She went on to say, "Furthermore, opening a brothel also serves the purpose of gathering intelligence."

"When going to war, we need more information and dynamics from the north. We can't fight blindly."

"As the saying goes, 'Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles.' Therefore, we must establish our own intelligence network."

"Helping Gun Yin get revenge was just a favor. What really interested me was the influence this former courtesan, Gun Yin, still holds."seeing the neatly stacked piles of masks and gloves before her, she suddenly understood everything.“Mother, Aunt Five, you two cannot keep burning the midnight oil like this tonight.” Yang Ruoqing sai...
