Chapter 14 I Worked as a Madam in a Brothel 1
"Qing Mama, Qing Mama."
A series of knocks came from the door. Qingmo woke up in bed and was greeted by an antique-style room. It seemed that she was in an ancient world again.
My head is a little dizzy, and I smell of alcohol on my body. The original owner must have been drinking last night to have a headache.
"Xiao Wu, receive the plot."
A minute later, after receiving the plot, Qingmo fell silent, speechless.
My head is buzzing and a little itchy. I'm not sure what it is, so I scratch it a few more times. Ugh, dandruff flies everywhere and my hands are covered in oil.
"Host, I'm logging off. The system shop is still available in the small world. You can buy things yourself if needed."
After saying that, Tongzi ran off in a flash. What a corporate slave! A 996 corporate slave, leaving get off work on time and then clocking in again when he arrives.
She did all the work during the rest of the time.
So what is she? Is she a cow or a horse?
A disorganized system, a broken home, the original owner of this body who was cannon fodder, and her tragic fate.
0 points, need it? She needs a...
The woman at the door was still banging on it like she was calling for a ghost; she had better have something serious to say, or something bad was definitely going to happen to her.
"What is it? Speak quickly."
Qingmo stared at her coldly, making Lüying feel a little uneasy.
Green Cherry: "Reporting to Madam Qing, Miss Bai ran off with that poor scholar named Zhang Ran in the middle of the night yesterday. A-Da and the others chased after them overnight and caught them. They're locked up in the woodshed now. We didn't disturb you yesterday because you were drunk."
After saying that, he looked at Qingmo somewhat resentfully, waiting for her instructions.
Qingmo thought for a moment and felt that she hadn't figured out the plot yet, so she decided to put it aside for now and see how to handle it later.
"Tell Ah Da to send two people to guard the woodshed. Lock it up for now. I have a bit of a headache; I'll go check on it later."
Green Cherry responded and left, while Qingmo went back to her room and lay on her bed thinking about the plot.
The country you are in now is called Dongli. Congratulations, you guessed it right. There is a country in each of the four directions of this continent, but this has little to do with the plot, so let's skip it.
The original owner was also named Qingmo. She was 25 years old this year. She was Prince Duan's mistress, but no one knew it. She was also the madam of this brothel. She had been with Prince Duan for seven years, but he never took her into his household. She couldn't even become a concubine.
Three years ago, she opened a brothel called Chunfenglou and became a genuine brothel madam.
This was also at the behest of Prince Duan. With Prince Duan as her backer, Chunfeng Tower quickly became the most famous tower in the capital. Through Chunfeng Tower, Prince Duan could find out the movements of court officials, gather information, and accumulate wealth.
The original owner was a love-struck person, wholeheartedly in love with Prince Duan.
He would send someone to relay small matters he had discovered, and only when it came to important matters would the Prince of Duan come to inquire about them. He wasn't particularly enthusiastic about the original owner of the body.
He's definitely been confirmed as a "tool" – a typical employee.
The original owner's death had little to do with Prince Duan.
The female protagonist of this world is Bai Ruirui, an 18-year-old courtesan and the most beautiful courtesan in Chunfeng Tower.
Chunfeng Tower is different from those vulgar brothels; the girls there are divided into two categories.
One type is the "pure courtesan" who sells her art but not her body, and the other type is the "red courtesan" who voluntarily serves customers. There is no situation of forcing good people into prostitution.
Chunfeng Tower was more expensive than ordinary brothels, with a minimum charge of 5 taels of silver, which deterred most of the low-quality customers.
Those who come here are mostly high-ranking officials, chivalrous heroes, and literati. After all, the girls in the building are somewhat knowledgeable in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, while ordinary people and laborers usually don't come here.
Those who consider themselves refined love to come here to listen to music and entertain friends to chat about romance and nature.
The female lead is just a peasant girl who was sold to the brothel by her own father two years ago. For the first three months, newcomers would learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting before entertaining guests.
I don't seek mastery, I only seek elegance.
Bai Ruirui was exceptionally talented in playing the zither, possessed unparalleled beauty, and became famous throughout the capital for her rendition of "Phoenix Seeking its Mate," making her the most renowned courtesan in the Chunfeng Pavilion.
Unfortunately, Bai Ruirui was also a hopeless romantic. At a gathering of literary figures, she fell for Zhang Ran, who had helped her out.
Yes, that's the feeling. One glance and you're the one for life. You're the right person.
Unfortunately, Zhang Ran is not the male lead; he's just a gigolo who swindles money. Zhang Ran is certainly good-looking, and he manages to win the female lead's heart.
It was during this time that the two planned to elope, but were caught and brought back. Although the original owner was love-obsessed, she had a very clear understanding of other people.
Having seen all sorts of people in brothels, she naturally knew what kind of person Zhang Ran was.
Zhang Ran had a widowed mother and lived a very poor life. He was supported by his widowed mother from a young age and passed the imperial examination. However, at the age of twenty-three, he failed to pass the county-level examination. He usually followed a group of young masters in the academy, serving them and wasting his time.
The original owner, being a brothel madam, naturally broke up the couple, ordering her men to break Zhang Ran's leg and throw him out.
Less than two months later, Zhang Ran died. It was said that he was a gambler and was beaten to death.
But Bai Ruirui, obsessed with love, didn't care. She believed that the original owner had broken her and Zhang Lang up and broken Zhang Lang's leg, which was why he had become addicted to gambling.
So if it weren't for the original owner, Zhang Lang wouldn't have died, and from then on he hated the original owner.
Later, she met the male protagonist, General Mu Feng, and became his wife. She then tearfully complained to him about how the original owner, the madam, had mistreated her in the past.
The male protagonist, being a reckless fool, didn't care about anything else and sent someone to kill the original owner of the body in order to avenge his beloved.
After the original owner died, Prince Duan found out that it was the male lead. Naturally, he wouldn't offend the male lead for the sake of a woman. He simply sent people to take over Chunfeng Tower and then left it to its own devices.
And so, a world was achieved where everyone was happy except for the original owner who was injured.
