After Wei Jing returned to the room, he paced back and forth beside the bed. Firstly, he regretted why he hadn't asked her just now. Secondly, there was indeed an unusual atmosphere in Yuqin's room today.
Yuqin didn't look like she was preparing to entertain guests. She had no makeup and was dressed simply. She was just playing the piano in the room. Could it be a coincidence that the geisha who was about to be bought was Yuqin?
Thinking of this, Wei Jing became more and more uneasy. He immediately jumped to the roof of Qingyan Building and waited for Yuqin to return to the room. Unexpectedly, even after midnight, there was still no sound in the room.
Wei Jing thought to himself: "If we wait any longer, even if Miss Qin returns to her room, it would be too ridiculous to disturb her at this time. Fortunately, those two people said they would only come today, so they had to make plans in the morning."
I had no choice but to go back to the room. Before going to bed, I remembered what Yuqin said and couldn't help but mutter to myself: "She said I'm not a guest, so who am I?" Then she gradually fell asleep.
Wei Jing got up early that morning and went to Qingyan Tower without eating breakfast. When he got to the roof, he heard Yu Qin playing the piano by himself, and the sound was actually that unknown tune.
Wei Jing had no time to think about it, so he knocked on the window and whispered: "Can I see Miss Qin? I have something to say." Upon hearing this, Yu Qin stopped playing the piano, and then said: "Master Wei, please come in."
Wei Jing then opened the window and entered the room. He saw Yuqin's clothes changed into a gorgeous red shirt, and her face was covered with heavy makeup. Yuqin was silent for a long time, as if thinking about something, and then said: "Master Wei, something is wrong." Looking for a slave?"
Wei Jing said, "Yes, it's really rude to come so early in the morning, but I have something I must ask Miss Qin."
Yuqin seemed to be quite surprised when she saw Wei Jing's strength, and said warmly: "Master, don't be anxious, is there anything I can help you with?"
Wei Jing said: "To be honest, by chance yesterday, I heard that someone was going to redeem the life of a girl from Qingyan Tower today. Did Miss Qin ever hear about it?"
He deliberately said "redemption" instead of "come to buy a girl".
After hearing the words, Yuqin did not answer immediately. Instead, she turned her eyes away, and then said slowly: "That is the slave family."
Wei Jing was shocked in his heart and wanted to say something for a moment, but he didn't know how to say it.
Yuqin raised her hands, deliberately letting the sleeves of the red shirt hang down, and then said: "Master Wei, look, the slave family has been carefully dressed up and turned into an exquisite gift."
Wei Jing said: "Miss Qin..."
Yuqin continued: "At this time, Nujia is still a virgin. Because of this... she can get a good price."
When Yuqin said these two sentences, she was not particularly sad or angry, as if she was telling someone else's story. That is the tone that can only be used by people who have accepted their own fate.
Yuqin smiled and said: "Mr. Wei, you have a good heart, but there is no need to be sad. Not long after the slave family was born, he sold this Qingyan Building. Since he became wise, he has understood his fate. He should be sad and unfair. I have been sad for a long time. Going to Yangxin Tower or staying in this Qingyan Tower is the same to the slave family."
Even though he already had the answer in his heart, Wei Jing couldn't help but said: "The Yangxin Tower has heard about it down there. They are definitely not from a well-known and decent family. Isn't there any way to escape from here?"
Yuqin shook his head and said: "Where can a weak girl from the Nu family escape to? Qingyan Tower is one of the sixteen towers with extraordinary power. A girl like the Nu family can only pray for a good buyer to let the Nu family Live the rest of your life in peace.”
Wei Jing knew that he was just acting out of impulse, but he was still unwilling to do so.
Yuqin seemed to feel something, and said quietly: "In the last few days of staying in Qingyan Tower, I was able to get to know Master Wei. It is the slave family's blessing. I hope everything goes well for the master in the future. If there is a chance, I can play the piano for him again."
After saying that, he bowed.
Wei Jing had nothing to say and just nodded lightly.
Yuqin seemed to have regained her composure and said, "Master Wei, please invite me. The people from Yangxin Tower should be nearby and will come to pick up the slave family at any time."
Wei Jing could only say: "Yes, take care of yourself, Miss Qin!"
Turn around and face the window. However, Wei Jing was standing at the window, unable to step out.
Yuqin smiled and said, "Could it be that Young Master still wants to listen to a song for nothing?"
Wei Jing was about to answer when he heard the footsteps of several people approaching outside the room. Yu Qin urged: "Mr. Wei, please go, they are coming."
At this time, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and in the flash of lightning in his mind, Wei Jing felt that there was nothing more sad in the world than this. If the tragedy in front of him could not be saved, then why should he practice swordsmanship? What to be the second boss?
Wei Jing's heart skipped a beat, turned around and ran to Yuqin's side, hugged her in his hands, and then jumped out of the window. He only heard the sound of the door opening, and then someone asked: "Where is Yuqin? She is today ..."
Then I couldn't hear clearly.
At this moment, the hour had just passed. In broad daylight, Wei Jing ran on the roof for a while holding Yuqin. Then he heard someone shouting on the street: "There is a thief robbing someone!"
Wei Jing didn't think much and ran all the way to the pawn shop. Fortunately, it was still early, the pawn shop had not opened yet, and there were no customers around. The shopkeeper saw Wei Jing holding a girl and jumping off the roof, so he knew what happened without asking. Unfortunately, he opened the door and let Wei Jing into the room.
At this moment, Wei Jing was finally able to breathe, and he gently put down the elm qin. He was so distracted that he didn't notice it, but now he realized that his whole body was filled with intoxicating fragrance.
Running all the way from Qingyan Tower, Yuqin remained silent. Only now did she speak: "Where is Mr. Wei taking the slave family to?"
The look on his face was neither angry nor surprised, as if the two of them were going on a trip and Yuqin asked casually.
Wei Jing calmed down and blushed, then said, "Sorry, I'm in a hurry next time...I have to think about where to go."
Yuqin shook her head, then turned her back to Wei Jing and said, "In the past, there were some guests who said they wanted to take the slave family away from Qingyan Building, but the slave family did not expect that anyone would actually do this."
Wei Jing thought to himself: "Actually, I didn't expect that I would be like this."
Wei Jing said: "I took you out without any explanation. Aren't you angry, Miss Qin?"
Yuqin said: "The slave family knows that the young master is reluctant to see others suffer. The slave family can only be grateful to the young master Wei."
He paused for a moment and then continued: "It's just... If I had known that the young master was going to take the slave family out, why not tell the slave family earlier?"
Then he smiled softly at Wei Jing.
Wei Jing smiled bitterly and said, "To tell you the truth, I just found out about this." As the two of them looked at each other and smiled, the atmosphere was no longer as tense as it was a moment ago.
At this time, the shopkeeper also opened the door and entered the room. He cupped his hands and said, "Second Boss, it's quiet and there's not much movement around. I think it's safe for now."
Wei Jing said: "Thank you very much. What do you call me the shopkeeper?" The shopkeeper said: "This little man's surname is Hong, and he will be blessed with good fortune and longevity."
Wei Jing nodded and said: "This time, Shopkeeper Hong has been implicated. This girl had a rough life and escaped from one place of misery, but what awaited her was another dangerous place. I was so angry that I kidnapped her. Come out."
Yuqin saluted and said, "My name is Yuqin. Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Hong, for your help."
Shopkeeper Hong said: "Second Master, Miss Yuqin, you're welcome. The heads of the Sima family are extremely righteous. A few years ago, I received favors from the Fifth Master, so I was able to take root in the city of Nanjing. I see you all doing chivalry and righteousness. Little If I can also contribute, that would be great."
Then he said: "What are the second master's plans in the future? If you still want to stay in Nanjing City, I will give you some time. I have to find some trustworthy accommodation for you two to rest."
Wei Jing shook his head and said: "We can't stay here any longer for the time being. Besides, from what I heard recently, there will be a murder case in Suzhou within a few days. After Miss Qin is settled, I have to rush there quickly. I hope I can prevent a murder." It’s a pity that something happened before it happened.”
