Since he entered the door, he has never dared to look at that woman again.
He was convinced that he had a desire for the woman. Otherwise, after watching others enter the house, he could have explained his situation to the woman, and then parted ways with her after giving her enough reward. ..
But he didn't do that. When the woman led the way, he kept following her behind her.
Until he entered the woman's boudoir, he still didn't know what he wanted.
However, he still wanted to keep himself clean in his heart, and he also knew clearly that he should not touch such a promiscuous woman.
But on the other hand, he seemed to be looking forward to something happening with the woman.
He didn't wake up until the other party started to take off his clothes and pulled him to the bed. He seemed to dare not face his heart, so he quickly pushed the woman away, then looked away with a red face and said, "Girl, I I don’t want to do this kind of thing with you, you…get dressed and don’t worry about me.”
After saying this, he quickly left the woman's side as if he felt guilty.
Later, in order to calm down his panic, he only found a seat at the desk nearby.
And when the woman saw that he had no intention of doing anything to her, she didn't feel any embarrassment. She just put on her clothes calmly.
And he turned around and looked at the woman's house. The woman's room was very plain. Compared with the colorful decorations, there were only some most ordinary basic items in her room. If there was nothing unusual, then maybe it was. But she seems to be very interested in reading, and the shelves in her room are almost full of books.
I casually pulled out a book, but it was "Yu Shu Ci" newly published by layman Yun An.
This sight made him stunned for a moment.
Ordinary people see this situation. Most of them would just find it ridiculous, after all, the room of a promiscuous woman actually looks like a scholar's room.
However, he had already noticed something unusual in this woman's room.
What the woman read was not something for entertainment, nor was it a piece of romance. With this kind of knowledge, it seems that the music the woman just played is not something that ordinary Hualou would teach girls.
It looked like she had been taught by a famous teacher.
But he didn't think too deeply about being kidnapped.
After all, this is the capital city, and there are also some children of officials who have committed crimes because they no longer have the protection of their parents. They are either sent to the flower house in the official camp, or sell themselves.
Therefore, it is not surprising that there are one or two ladies in this flower house.
When he put aside his curiosity, the woman had already walked over.
Seeing that she had rejected her, she seemed much more relaxed.
She also seemed to understand what the other party wanted to do.
She brought out a game of Go and said, "Young Master, it's boring to sit there. If you don't mind, you can have a game with me."
This was naturally what he wanted. After all, it would be really hard to sit in this woman's room all night.
Then the two of them held white stones and black stones, killing everyone on the chessboard.
However, he could also see that although the woman proposed this idea, she was actually absent-minded.
Moreover, her chess skills were not very good, and she was killed every time by herself, leaving nothing behind.
But even so, he still felt a rare tranquility and relaxation in front of the woman.
Even after entertaining the staff, he went to the flower house several times. Of course, his purpose was just for the woman named Hong Qiang.
Although the woman didn't speak much, she always had a feeling that made her feel at peace.
He liked to be with that woman, even if he did nothing, he was still happy in his heart.
He violated his usual principles and only became a frequent visitor to her. He even thought that if one day he really became famous, he would be able to redeem this woman's life and take her as his concubine.
Later on, the woman didn't know whether she also had a crush on him or felt that she was a good guest, so she was indeed much more interested in him than others.
It's just that in addition to trying to please herself, this woman sometimes also inquires about her current situation intentionally or unintentionally.
He could feel the woman's temptation, but he only thought that the woman was just weighing his wealth and status.
If others asked about this, he would probably tell the truth. After all, even if he is a white man who likes other people's close friends, people may not mind his identity.
There is no need to feel sorry for those who look down on his current status. After all, he never believes that he will always be dormant. One day, he will make those who look down on him regret their mistake that day.
But when facing this flower girl alone, for the first time, he was afraid that she would look down on him, so he just lied and said that he was now working as an errand in Jiang Cheng's house.
When the woman heard what he said, her eyes clearly lit up.
At that time, he always thought that the other party's eyes were bright because he was working in Jiang Xiang's house.
But later he realized that he had misunderstood her from the beginning.
After that, they just continued to communicate with each other, and the woman even gave her a white butterfly sachet that she was said to be carrying close to her body.
It was also because of the sachet that he noticed something strange.
The sachet is made of ice silk that was sent as tribute from the Qiang Desert Voodoo Tribe.
It is impossible for this kind of material to be circulated among the people, and even the concubines in the palace may not be able to easily use this kind of material.
Naturally, he didn't recognize the material. He just thought the sachet was quite beautiful, but he didn't expect that his mother would see it later.
His mother was also a Marquis of the House of Lords. Now that the Lu family was in decline, it was simply because of its small population and the death of its mainstay father that it was regarded as a declining family.
Therefore, in terms of status alone, the Lu family is not bad either.
Mrs. Lu, who had been in and out of the palace, naturally recognized the ingredients of the sachet at a glance.
She only asked herself where she got such a sachet.
Naturally, he didn't dare to say that he lingered in Hualou from time to time.
Over the years, his mother had been very strict in his education. Since his father's death, she had lived like an ascetic, and she had only forced others to become ascetics with her.
In addition, the Lu family has a strict family tradition, so he naturally dare not say that he visited the flower house, let alone say that he has fallen in love with the girl from the flower house.
So he just lied and said that he picked it up outside. Seeing that the sachet was very beautiful, he picked it up.
However, his mother naturally didn't believe it and only scolded him for being obsessed. Finally, under cross-examination by his mother, he told the truth.
After that, his mother's expression also changed again and again. At the moment, she didn't even bother to scold her son for going in and out of the flower house. She only said how rare this sachet made of ice silk was.
Qiangmo originally paid tribute to this kind of ice silk, but could only produce three pieces of it in three years. Because it was extremely rare, this kind of ice silk was almost only supplied to favored concubines and emperors.
Hearing his mother tell the origin of ice silk, he just realized how much trouble he had almost gotten himself into.
He finally understood the woman's true intention of giving him the sachet.
This is not expressing one's feelings to oneself; one is clearly trying to use oneself to ask for help from the outside world.
It was also from this that he began to have people secretly investigate the origin of this woman and the origin of the sachet.
Because the other party was abducted and trafficked into Hualou, the investigation of her life experience naturally came to a standstill. The only information he could find was that this woman was sold to Hualou by a man named Song San, and There is almost no record of the woman's real name and origin. As for Song San, he had already been detained and beheaded for illegal human trafficking.
He even read the confession about Song San, but his confession didn't even mention the origin of the woman.
But the woman who can afford to use this kind of thing as a sachet is definitely not an ordinary person.
Therefore, Lu Zhizhang only later asked people to investigate who was probably using this ice silk. The final result he found seemed to be that Concubine Zhang Gui, Concubine Yu Xian, and the Queen Mother who was recovering from illness in the outer palace got the ice silk.
And after digging through the clues from the people around them, he quickly found Concubine Yuxian's niece.
Concubine Yuxian had a niece named Jiang Nianjiao. Jiang Nianjiao was also famous for her beauty. Her whereabouts were unknown after she disappeared on the wedding day of Prince Liang's Mansion. Concubine Yuxian and Jiang Mansion also sent people to search everywhere, but they found nothing.
gained.
However, who would have thought that such a noble lady would end up in such a dusty place.
But this may also be an opportunity for him. After all, a noble girl is in trouble. If he can save her from the fire and water, maybe his career will be promising.
After that, he also went to Jiang Nianjiao for confirmation after he found out to this point.
At first, the woman refused to tell her. It was not until he put all the results of his investigation in front of her that she hesitantly told her life experience.
It turns out that she is really the eldest daughter of the Jiang family who disappeared during the wedding of Prince Liang two years ago.
She was sold to this flower house by different people. During this period, it was not that she didn't think about escaping for her life, and it was not that she didn't hope for some customers.
However, those so-called guests turned out to be just accomplices they used to test whether she would ask for help. Once she asks for help, these guests will tell the Turtle Master everything she said, and they will inevitably be humiliated and beaten.
It was also because of this repeated torture that she gradually became afraid to trust anyone rashly. I no longer think that I can escape from that devil's cave.
It was during this period that she met Lu Zhizhang. She felt that this man was different from others, and she heard that he worked in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she wanted to use this sachet to attract his father's attention.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhizhang found out before she could get her father's attention.
Lu Zhizhang was suffering from not having a suitable opportunity to get in touch with the Gao family. If he could get in touch with Concubine Yuxian, wouldn't he be able to directly bypass the Gao family and get in touch with the current emperor?
If you can get in touch with the Holy Master directly, that would naturally be a better choice.
Therefore, after finding out Jiang Nianjiao's true identity, he said that he would definitely help her escape from this flower house.
