Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Lakes Chapter 157: Dilemma
Ruyan woke up from sobbing and noticed that the woman was acting strangely. She was a little surprised, then she breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and said softly: "It is related to the news of a close relative, Ruyan is rude. Please also invite this young master. Forgive me!”
Ruyan turned away, wiped away the tears with her handkerchief, and continued: "Ruyan's original name was Su Xueyun, born in Dingmao Yiyou, and her nickname was Yun'er. I still don't know the surname of the young master, and when and where he met my father. "How is he doing now?"
This woman remains calm despite being frightened and is quite courageous. Lin nodded and his worried heart was completely relieved. In the vast sea of people, I unexpectedly found Mr. Su’s daughter. What a blessing!
I had previously guessed that Ruyan was Mr. Su's daughter, but I hadn't confirmed it yet, so naturally I didn't want to make too much of it. After hearing what Ruyan, that is, Su Xueyun said, Lin Yi had made a decision. No matter what happens to Su Xueyun and Han Sheng, he must rescue them from here for Mr. Su's entrustment.
There are countless women from good families who have committed themselves to the land of smoke and willows and are forced to show off their laughter. Ta Lin Yi cannot control these many. But as a weak woman, Su Xueyun was able to clean herself up in a dirty and dirty place. This integrity was admirable.
Being entrusted by others, loyal to others, and Mr. Su had a favor with him, he must let Su Xueyun leave the capital safely.
"Lin Yi, when I left home, my husband was fine. This is not a place to talk, nor is it a place to stay for a long time. I will try to take you out of here." Lin Yi said.
Su Xueyun's beautiful eyes lit up and she stared at Lin Yi for a moment, then darkened like water. She bowed slightly to him and said, "I've met Brother Lin! Now that my father is well, Ruyan can finally let go of a worry! If Brother Lin comes around one day, "When you see my father, please tell him that Yun'er is well and tell him not to worry about it!"
Su Xueyun's voice became lower and lower when she spoke, and the eager expression she had just now disappeared. What appeared to others was the same coldness and loneliness as before, except that her hand holding the jade pendant was trembling slightly.
Hearing this, Lin Yi was stunned. This Su Xueyun really doesn't want to leave this place? Or is there another reason?
Looking back at the woman whose acupoints were tapped, Lin Yi said in a deep voice to Su Xueyun: "You are no longer Ruyan, you are Mr. Su's daughter, and your name is Su Xueyun. Since I said I will take you away from here, I can't It’s not nonsense. I still don’t know why Miss Su insists on this. Please tell me the truth. I, Lin Yi, will not force anyone to do anything!”
Su Xueyun's face was as cold as frost, she looked at Lin Yi meaningfully, sighed, turned her back, looked at the hazy mist and rain outside the boat window, and softly chanted: "
When the heart is sad, the wine is cold,
Endless mist and rain——
Lonely and trapped beast,
Sleeping in dreams and being tired by the wind.
A clear spring turns into purple smoke,
Two lines of turbid tears splashed into the cloud pavilion;
The sound of the flute is slow——"
"...Brother Lin, do you think that I, Su Xueyun, am greedy for prosperity?" Su Xueyun slowly turned around, her eyes were quiet and sad.
Lin Yi didn't understand poetry, but felt that what Su Xueyun said was very sad. Hearing this question, he shook his head and said nothing.
Seeing Lin Yi's slightly embarrassed expression, Su Xueyun ignored her, but curved her lips and said with a bitter smile: "Brother Lin's kindness is appreciated like smoke! I have accepted the family heirloom jade pendant, please let this person go, Lin Brother... leave early!" She turned around slowly, her sad smile unable to hide the loneliness on her brows.
The young man in front of him was almost the same age as himself, so how could he save himself? Not to mention leaving this huge capital city! Su Xueyun didn't want to say anything more, let alone implicate Lin Yi.
With the news about my old father, I have nothing to worry about in this life. It's just that Yun'er's life is so short that she can no longer perform her filial piety in front of her knees!
Lin Yi watched Su Xueyun return to the window, as lonely as ever, sitting alone in silence. And calling himself Ruyan clearly told him to stop meddling in his own business.
Is it rare to leave like this? The woman beside her had a proud look on her face.
Lin Yi, who was in a dilemma, couldn't help but frowned. If you leave now, how can you live up to Mr. Su’s trust?
Every morning and dusk, under the big tree at the entrance of Xiaotian'ao Village, the old man who is looking forward to it, doesn't his wish for the rest of his life be to see his daughter!
Also, the helplessness in Su Xueyun's expression could not be hidden from Lin Yi's eyes. He thought to himself and said to Su Xueyun's back: "Miss Su, I have something to ask you!"
Su Xueyun was silent.
Lin Yi didn't care and continued: "Where is your registration document?"
Su Xueyun sighed softly and said: "Huafang is a court brothel. Every woman has a registration and a deed. These documents are all in the hands of Huafang's madam. No one can leave the capital! Brother Lin, don't bother!"
Lin Yi stopped asking any more questions and walked up to the woman, raising his finger in the air.
The woman snorted and fell to the ground. She stared at Lin Yi with a malicious look. Her arms were unable to support her body and she said bitterly: "You want to take people away? Stop dreaming, I want to See how you can get out of my boat!"
"Listen carefully and hand over Miss Su's body deed to me honestly. Otherwise, if I demolish your boat, you won't be able to survive!" Lin Yi looked at the woman on the ground, his face was as dark as water, and he said coldly. .
The woman burst out laughing, twisted on the ground, and said wildly: "Are you scared of me? In my Cuimingxuan, there are officials from the current dynasty having a drink here. You know how to go to the countryside twice?" Do you want to scare me? Ruyan, you damn girl, don’t pretend to be pure and pure. I’ll let Shilang Chen break your body tonight, huh! You really think you have hard wings, don’t you? You brat, if you dare to offend me, you are blind!"
The woman's voice was so loud that Su Xueyun turned around in shock. She didn't expect Lin Yi to use such a method. Suppressing her inner panic, she whispered: "People here are not easy to mess with. If Brother Lin gets into trouble because of this, how can Ruyan feel?"
Lin Yi ignored Su Xueyun's words, and looked at the woman on the ground who was becoming more and more unscrupulous, with a chill in his eyes.
At this time, a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly sounded on the corridor of the painting boat.
The woman on the ground felt that something was wrong and was about to shout. Lin Yi's palm was open.
The woman jumped up from the ground involuntarily, and Lin Yi grabbed her neck in mid-air.
The woman only heard the sound of the neck bones breaking, and she wailed.
Lin Yi stood in the room, holding the woman with his right arm, letting her feet kick in the air. He looked at the face that was distorted by the redness and said coldly: "Give me the body contract!"
The woman's eyes bulged and she kept whimpering. Lin Yi's fingers loosened slightly, and the woman swallowed and nodded with difficulty.
"Where? Take me to get it!" After Lin Yi finished speaking, a flash of light flashed on his body, and his figure slowly disappeared in front of Su Xueyun and the woman. The woman was still hanging in the air, her feet not touching the ground.
The woman was horrified, but she heard a familiar voice saying, "Miss Su, wait a moment!"
Su Xueyun was stunned by the strange scene in front of her, and she didn't dare to speak. Unexpectedly, the young man who was originally gentle and polite became so rude in an instant. But looking at the embarrassed appearance of the woman, she felt inexplicably happy in her heart.
"Go!"
With a cold shout, the woman finally landed on the ground, and her body was about to fall, but she was picked up by an invisible hand and walked out the door.
Two strong men happened to run to the front, and they came because the woman's voice had already alarmed others. But seeing the woman's dull face and waving at them, they ignored them and left.
The two were somewhat confused, and then, looking at the woman's twisting buttocks, they laughed secretly.
Lin Yi followed the woman to the residence on the third floor of the pleasure boat, but did not show up, just urged her from the side.
The woman was already scared out of her wits, and did not dare to slack off. She hurriedly took out a stack of documents from the secret box under the bed and found Su Xueyun's identity deed.
"Apart from this, is there any other place to keep these identity documents?" That voice sounded in the woman's ears again, scaring her to sweat profusely, and hurriedly said: "The court brothel only keeps a list, and the identity documents and deeds are all here. These women are supervised by us from birth to old age, sickness and death, and we can report it later. Therefore, the brothel list is not binding, and the only things that restrict these women's behavior are these identity documents and deeds."
Lin Yi carefully read the documents, put away Su Xueyun's identity contract, let go of the woman, and turned into a breeze and left.
The woman fell to the ground, holding her neck and gasping for breath. Seeing that there was no movement from the ghost in the room, her frightened expression became sinister again.
