Chapter 337 You Go Sell
Because of those seven women, the former head courtesan and queen of Chunxiang Pavilion, all ran away in a hurry after their indentures were gone. Their patrons never came back to Chunxiang Pavilion after they left, causing Chunxiang Pavilion to lose a large sum of money. It was only by using her own private property that the madam was able to barely fill the vacancy.
The madam was always greedy. This time, not only was Chunxiang Pavilion empty, but she also lost so much money herself. How could the madam not hate the two of them?
As she thought about it, the madam's gaze toward the woman grew increasingly sinister and frightening.
Finally, the woman sensed it too and panicked. Having worked with the madam for so long, she knew better than anyone that the madam was no good person and was ruthless.
Although he felt that the responsibility did not lie with him, the madam was not going to listen, and might even want to take her anger out on him.
Thinking back to when the madam came today, she didn't even knock; she just kicked the door down. It was clear that she had ill intentions. When she looked up and saw the madam's sinister and terrifying eyes, fear filled the woman's face.
The woman took a few steps back and blurted out, "This has nothing to do with me."
The woman's eyes lit up when she saw her accomplice trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible. She quickly pointed at him and said to the madam, "Good sister, this has nothing to do with me. He did it all."
“Yes, he did it all.” The woman tried to persuade the madam, saying, “He was the one who gave me the idea to kidnap those five people, and he was also the one who suggested selling them to you, dear sister. In the end, he even had the heart to ask you to raise the price. He did all of this, and it has nothing to do with me.”
The woman was only thinking about shifting the blame as quickly as possible, while her accomplice was trying to minimize his presence and praying that the madam wouldn't notice him. Suddenly, he heard the woman's words and immediately became furious.
He pointed at the woman and started cursing, "You shameless filthy woman, it was clearly you who, after our other two accomplices were arrested and taken to the authorities, were dissatisfied with those five people and then came up with the idea to kidnap them. Moreover, it was you who came up with the idea and tricked them into coming here. What, now you want to push all the blame onto me?"
His accomplice spat on the ground and said viciously, "I'm telling you, not a chance."
The woman glanced at the madam in a panic, only to see that the madam's face had turned even uglier. The woman then yelled at her companion, "I only did it after you suggested it; it has nothing to do with me."
"Pah!" The accomplice spat at the woman again, saying, "If you ask me, I'm the one who's innocent. Usually, when you kidnap people, you're the one who takes the lion's share. Now that something's happened, you've finally thought of me?"
The accomplice looked at the madam and said obsequiously, "Good sister, please don't listen to this old slut."
The madam, watching the two men shifting blame, grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said in a sinister and frightening way, "Don't worry, you two, you're both responsible for this. Neither of you can escape."
"When you two dared to play me and caused such heavy losses to my Chunxianglou, you should have expected your fate today."
"Good sister, you can't do this." The woman had witnessed the madam's methods firsthand, and she had even seen how the madam dealt with those disobedient people sent to Chunxiang Pavilion. In the end, which of those disobedient people wasn't completely submissive and terrified of the madam? Ever since she had seen it once, the woman had been afraid of the madam. Now, because of her, the madam had suffered such a great loss, and she didn't know how the madam would treat her, or even whether she would be able to save her life.
The more the woman thought about it, the more frightened she became. Without thinking, she knelt down in front of the madam and said, "Good sister, please spare me this time."
"I will repay you by serving you like a slave in the future."
"You want me to spare you?" The madam looked at the woman who kept nodding and said, "As long as you can compensate me for all the losses of Chunxiang Pavilion, I will spare you."
The woman was almost in tears. She kowtowed to the madam and said, "Good sister, I know I was wrong. I am willing to be your slave. Please forgive me this time."
The woman's accomplices were also kowtowing to the madam.
The madam sneered, "Since you can't compensate me for my losses, then you'll have to pay for them yourselves."
The woman was stunned, not understanding what the madam meant. Stone, however, understood the madam's meaning. He stepped forward, looked at the woman and her companions, and laughed. There was a hint of cruelty in his laughter. He said, "Your idea is better."
The woman asked in a panic, "What do you mean by that?"
Stone smiled and said to the woman, "It's very simple. Since so many people have left Chunxiang Pavilion because of you, even though you are old and ugly, it doesn't mean you can't be sold."
The madam was also sizing up the woman and her accomplice, her eyes filled with cruelty and disgust, calculating how much she could make up for her losses if she sold them at Chunxiang Pavilion.
The woman and her accomplice were both nearly forty years old. Because of their laziness, their figures and skin were not good. However, having run Chunxiang Pavilion for so many years, she knew some customers with unknown fetishes and preferred this kind of different type.
So, since these two are so eager to make amends, she'll grant their wish and let them work at Chunxianglou; at least they can earn some money that way.
The woman and her companions were stunned by what Stone and the madam said; the madam actually wanted them to sell themselves.
The woman had abducted many people to sell in the sex trade, and the madam's methods were exceptionally cruel. Now that it was her turn, the woman felt as if the sky was falling. What the madam was doing was even more painful than killing them outright.
"Good sister, I'll give you all my goods for free from now on, and I'll even work like a slave for you. Please forgive me this time." The woman was in tears as she stepped forward and hugged the madam's leg, begging for mercy.
The madam was heartless. She kicked the woman aside and ordered the servant she had brought, "Arrest these two people. Also, they're too noisy. Don't let them bother me anymore."
"Yes." The servant took two pieces of rag and stuffed them into the mouths of the two women. The woman looked at the madam in fear, and even though her mouth was stuffed, she was still struggling.
The madam impatiently gave the servant a wink, and the servant understood, immediately knocking the two men unconscious. Then the group returned to Chunxiang Pavilion. As for the woman and her accomplice, their future fate was already foreseeable.
Having witnessed the entire event from the tree, Xu Xuan and Lin Shao jumped down from the tree after the madam and the others left.
With an barely suppressed smile on his face, Xu Xuan said, "This time, they can finally taste the bitter fruit they sowed."
The madam would certainly not let the two women off easily. Lin Shao smiled and sighed, "It's really hard to bear."
Xu Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "Before you say you can't bear it, take off that smile on your face."
Lin Shao's smile not only didn't fade, but became even brighter. He was genuinely happy to see the people who had kidnapped him end up like this.
Lin Shao said to Xu Xuan, "Let's go back and tell the four of them the good news, so they can share in our joy."
