Chapter 149
Tang Tianyuan smiled faintly, "Who said I would sell you into the Thousand Flower Brothel?"
Xianggua relaxed, hope ignited in her eyes.
Tang Tianyuan's next words pierced her heart like ice blades, "I just gave you to her," he said, pointing to the female brothel keeper, "You will still be a servant at Thousand Flower Brothel."
She would be sent as a maid in name to Thousand Flower Brothel, but in reality, who knows what will happen.
Xianggua was dumbfounded.
The brothel keeper wanted to pull her again, but Xianggua dodged and tried to slam her into the wall. Tang Tianyuan grabbed her in time, threw her to the female brothel keeper, and said coldly, "If you want to die, die elsewhere."
How could you be so ruthless?! So ruthless! Xianggua burst into tears, but she refused to go with the brothel keeper no matter what.
At this moment, Tan Lingyin came in from outside. When she saw the chaotic scene, she walked up to Tang Tianyuan and asked softly, "What's going on?"
Tang Tianyuan swept his gaze towards the door and saw Xueli’s head poking in. When she noticed that he was looking at her, Xueli quickly hid.
It turned out that Xueli had rushed for assistance. She knew it was bad for Xianggua to have said so many bad things about Head Commissioner Tan behind her back but she couldn’t ruthlessly watch and do nothing for her friend of many years.
Xianggua was already in a panic. Completely disregarding their previous animosity, Xianggua walked up to Tan Lingyin on her knees. She knew that Head Commissioner Tan was the only one that could change Young Master’s mind. Xianggua held her calf and cried, "Head Commissioner Tan! Please persuade Young Master! I don't want to go to the Thousand Flower Brothel!"
Xueli was afraid that Tan Lingyin would not come, so she didn’t inform Tang Lingyin what was going on. Only now did Tan Lingyin understand what was happening. Knowing that Tang Tianyuan was going to throw the Xianggua into the Thousand Flower Brothel, Tan Lingyin also felt that this move was very cruel. She hated Xianggua, but being sent to a brothel would ruin her life... Tan Lingyin had a moment of compassion.
But no matter how compassionate, it was not suitable for her to speak right now. They were in public, the Head Commissioner should not intervene when the County Magistrate was punishing his own servants. In addition, Tan Lingyin hadn’t even officially married into her fiancé's house. For her to meddle in her future husband’s affairs would be stretching her hand too far.
Although Tang Tianyuan would allow her to do as she pleased when they were alone, he was a man after all. How could Tan Lingyin interrupt indiscriminately without regard for his face?
Xueli was stupid and Xianggua was crazy, but Tan Lingyin would not follow their stupidity and craziness. She gently tugged Tang Tianyuan's sleeve and said in a gentle voice, "My lord, please appease your anger."
Tang Tianyuan was clear headed. He understood Tan Lingyin's concerns just from her expression. With his heart warmed, his tense expression eased as he smiled.
The bystanders, who were kept quiet out of fear, were dumbfounded.
Xianggua thought she was saved, so she cried to Tan Lingyin again.
Tang Tianyuan gave the female brothel keeper an impatient look. "Why haven’t you taken her away yet?"
The female brothel keeper hurriedly called in two strong women and carried the Xianggua away.
Tang Tianyuan asked everyone else to leave first. Naturally, Tan Lingyin had to stay.
He held Tan Lingyin close and kissed corners of her lips a few times. Seeing her frowning, he couldn't help pressing her brows lightly, "What's wrong?"
"She's a bit pitiful." Tan Lingyin finally said.
Tang Tianyuan replied, "I wanted to give you justice."
Tan Lingyin was a little moved, but also a little guilty. To be honest, she hated Xianggua for gossiping behind her back. She also wished to give this servant girl a good beating. But... Regardless of the cause and effect, just knowing a girl was sent to the brothel because of her. This alone made her feel somewhat disturbed.
Tang Tianyuan sighed, "You don't have to be soft-hearted. Some servants are just wicked, if you are soft-hearted, they will quickly step all over you."
Tan Lingyin knew his explanation was reasonable, but it would take time for her to let go of her soft-heartedness. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but say, "No matter what, she has served you for so many years."
"If it weren't for this sentiment, I wouldn't let her off like this."
This was a let-off? Then what did he plan to do if it weren’t? Tan Lingyin shrank her neck, not knowing what to say.
Seeing her sullen, Tang Tianyuan finally sighed, "I knew you would be like this. Don't worry, since I'm doing this for you, then everything is up to you."
"I……"
Tang Tianyuan kissed her suddenly and blocked her mouth. Taking advantage of Tan Lingyin's stupefaction, Tang Tianyuan continued, "Someone will come to you asking to borrow some money in the next few days. If you don't want to forgive her, then don’t let her borrow it. If you really can't bear it, then just give her the money. However much she takes, I’ll compensate you."
Tan Lingyin couldn’t make heads or tails of his words.
But soon she understood—Xihulu actually wanted to borrow money from her. He wanted to buy Xianggua out of the Thousand Flower Brothel.
Xihulu was at his wits end. With his own saved money plus the money of a few poor buddies was not enough. He didn't dare to let the Young Master know. After much deliberation, Head Commissioner Tan had a kind heart and some family background. He wasn’t sure if she was willing to help. No matter what, he still had to give it a try.
Only then did Tan Lingyin realize that Xihulu had always liked Xianggua. He was willing to go bankrupt to redeem her. His deep affection moved Tan Lingyin. She learned he was short two hundred taels. Tan Lingyin allowed him to borrow it, but under two conditions. First, the borrowed money must be repaid. Second, she doesn't want to see Xianggua again.
Xihulu took the money and left gratefully. Once he brought Xianggua out of the brothel, Xihulu told her the truth. Xianggua took advantage of the night to secretly kowtow a hundred times at the gate of Tan Lingyin's South Study. She then left silently.
Tan Lingyin was quite puzzled when she went out early in the morning. Where did the blood in front of the gate come from? Could it be that someone warned her that there would be a bloody disaster?
A few days later, with Tang Tianyuan's permission, Xihulu returned to his hometown in Sichuan with Xianggua. That was where the Tang Residence’s original settlement was. There was still their mansion there as well as fertile land, so there was nothing to worry about.
In the end, Tan Lingyin never asked Tang Tianyuan for the money. Tang Tianyuan didn't give up, and kept asking Tan Lingyin how much money she lent Xihulu. However, Tan Lingyin refused to answer.
Tang Tianyuan continued to push, "Since you don’t want my money, then I have to pay with my body."
Tan Lingyin had no choice but to raise her hand to cover Tang Tianyuan's mouth. Tang Tianyuan couldn't wish for more. He opened his mouth to lick her palm, making her blush...
In short, this matter had come to an end. And it seemed that New Year's Eve was approaching.
