Maid's Counterattack

Zi Luo asked for directions a few times, and finally found the Zhou Mansion, the one Yue Fu talked about.

There was a young man standing at the door, Zi Luo stepped forward to explain the situation, and the young man said he was going to report.After a while, a well-dressed middle-aged man came out, claiming to be the housekeeper of Zhou Mansion.

"You said you have a jade pendant from my master."

Butler Zhou confirmed to her.

"Yes, I want to see Master Zhou."

Ziluo said.

"You come in with me first."

said the butler.

Zi Luo followed the housekeeper into the mansion. The Zhou mansion looked similar to Zhao's mansion, but the area was probably smaller, so there were fewer houses.

"You rest here now."

The housekeeper took her to a place similar to a reception room, where there were simply two tables and a few chairs.

The butler withdrew, and left Ziluo to wait there alone. It felt like a long time had passed, and Ziluo was pacing back and forth in the room impatiently.

Suddenly she felt a little dizzy, and before she fainted, she saw the housekeeper bringing two servants over.

"I'm sorry, the master can't remember what happened many years ago. Let's take you to a good place and make sure you won't starve to death."

This is a sentence she heard before her eyes went dark.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on a soft bed. The room was filled with fragrance, but her hands and feet were tied again. In an instant, a sense of despair filled her whole body.

"The girl should be awake by now."

A woman's voice came to Ziluo's ears, and a sense of tension struck.

"Yo, wake up."

What came in was a middle-aged woman dressed in fancy dress, Zi Luo looked at her dress and her twisted waist, she instantly understood that she was probably sold into a brothel.

"Looking at your eyes, I probably guessed where you are. Since you are here, please rest assured. I will introduce myself. I am the mother here. My surname is Cui. You can call me mother Cui."

At this time, even the woman's voice made Ziluo feel sick.

"I beg you to be kind enough to let me go."

Although she knew what the answer was, she still said this. She knew that the brothel had some thugs, so she probably couldn't escape this time.

"Hahaha, are you excited and confused? I paid a lot of money to buy you, and you asked me to let you go?"

Mother Cui from the brothel said with a sharp smile.

"The Zhou Mansion is so big, why would you care about such a small amount of money and sell me?"

Zi Luo murmured, still can't believe this is true.

"You don't know, the Zhou family lost money in business, so they are also short of money now."

Mother Cui walked a few steps closer to Zi Luo as she spoke, Zi Luo instinctively wanted to shrink back, but her hands and feet were tied.

"Don't be afraid, I will find someone to teach you how to do it, just get used to it."

Mother Cui raised Ziluo's chin with one finger and said.

"No, no, please, I can do the dishes and sweep the floor to repay you for buying me."

Ziluo pleaded in fear.

"Hmph, if you don't know what to do, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."

Mother Cui's face became hideous.

Zi Luo suddenly became quiet and stopped talking, she had already made a decision, if it really came to that point, she would swear to the death.

"That's right, you think about it first, I will send someone to teach you."

Seeing that she stopped talking, Cui's mother twisted her body and left.

Not long after, someone came in again, it was a young woman, she was very pretty, but because of the rouge, she looked a lot vulgar, and there were two strong men behind her, it must be to prevent her from escaping.

"My name is Maner, what's your name?"

The woman has a gentle voice and charming eyes.

"My name is Ziluo."

Zi Luo said weakly, ready to go all out at any time.

At this time, the woman entered the house and closed the door, while the two strong men stood guard outside.

"You don't want that expression. I was the same as you when I first came here, but now, it doesn't matter."

Man'er seemed to look at her but didn't want to look at her again, her eyes were misty and her tone was flat.

"No, I never will."

Ziluo looked at her with a firm tone.

"Hmph, don't talk too early, I won't argue with you, my task is to teach you the rules here and what you need to learn."

Man'er had already come to Ziluo's side and helped her untie the ropes that bound her hands and feet.

Although Man'er said a lot of things afterwards, she made herself think about other things and didn't listen to her words at all, because she didn't want to know the rules of the brothel at all.

"Okay, I've finished what I want to say. If you have learned or not, you will have the answer soon."

After Man'er said this, she left, and before she left, she really looked at her in the eye.

After Man'er left, Zi Luo began to think of a way to get out of here, but there was no window in this room, so she opened the door slightly and found that the two strong men were still guarding the door.

"Officer, this girl is new here."

Just when Ziluo was in a state of desperation and didn't know how to escape, she heard Cui's mother's voice, and she had a bad premonition in her heart.

Sure enough, she heard the sound of the door opening, and it was Mama Cui and a man who came in.

"Zi Luo, this is Mr. Li."

Cui's mother closed the door after the introduction and went out. Before leaving, she gave her a vicious look as a threat.

"I heard your name is Ziluo."

After Cui's mother left, the man said.

"get out."

Although Zi Luo was a little nervous, he still tried to show a ferocious expression, and his body had already retreated to a corner.

"Don't be afraid, am I very fierce?"

The man looks very ordinary, and his tone is very soft.

"do not come."

Ziluo touched her hair instinctively, but there was no hairpin there, probably just in case, Mother Cui pulled out her hairpin.

"Haha, look at you, I'm a little rice dumpling."

The man suddenly laughed and looked at her as if he were an old friend.

"Little Zongzi?"

Zi Luo felt that the name sounded familiar, after thinking for a while, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and carefully looked at the man in front of him.

"Ah, it's you."

Ziluo finally remembered that when he was in the palace, he did something wrong sloppily, and it was Ziluo who pleaded for him and spared him the pain of flesh and blood. Because his name was Li Zong, everyone called him Xiao Zongzi.

"You, you, why did you come to this kind of place? You deliberately scared me just now."

Zi Luo was suddenly angry and embarrassed.

"Then you didn't go to the palace, why are you in this kind of place?"

Li Zong asked back.

"I, I, Empress Xi, let me go back to my hometown. I never thought that I would encounter bad people halfway, knock me out, and tie me here."

Ziluo narrated her experience with a full face of grievance.

"Then let me help you escape."

Li Zong thought for a while and said.

"Really, thank you so much."

Ziluo was overjoyed as if he had encountered a life-saving straw.

Thank you all for your support!
