Flower Moon

Chapter 187 Curse

After Xu Niang was taken into the elegant courtyard instead of Tao Yue'er, the shouting never stopped that afternoon.It wasn't because of the humiliation, it was just that the dark, sealed cage that made people obedient frightened her out of her wits.

Her ordeal had just begun.

Tao Yue'er swaggered out of the elegant courtyard.For the first time, she discovered that power was so useful - she didn't change Xu Niang's appearance, she just confused other people's eyes.And an unbreakable curse was placed on Xu Niang's body: "Anyone who sees it will be shocked." In other words, Xu Niang's appearance is still his own, but in the eyes of everyone, it will be based on changes accordingly according to that person's preferences.

In short, during her time in Yayuan, every man and woman she met would regard her as a goddess in their hearts.The desire to covet is ready to come out.It was enough for her.

It was even easier for Tao Yue'er to be invisible. In the hearts of these common people, she was just a dispensable decoration. She was not noticeable when she came or left.

This is also the "curse" she cast on herself.

It has always been her wish to not stand out and not arouse others' curiosity.Now that she could finally achieve what she wanted, she didn't care if it was because of the curse she cast.Anyway, if someone can see through her spell, their power must be greater than hers, so it would be normal to notice her.At that time, the troops will come to block it, and the water will come to cover it with earth.

"Isn't it nice to have power?" A voice sounded behind him.

Tao Yue'er turned around and saw Hua Ling in white standing under the plum tree behind her, looking at her indifferently.

Obviously, everything that just happened could not be hidden from Hua Ling's eyes.Although he watched Tao Yue'er being taken away by the woman, he was not worried about her at all.

He knew that Tao Yue'er had enough strength to fight, but what surprised him was that Tao Yue'er was not "soft-hearted" this time.

"I thought you would let her go." Hua Ling said calmly.

Tao Yue'er shook her head and said, "Maybe I would have let her go in the past, but it's different now."

"why?"

"I can hear the voice from the bottom of people's hearts." Tao Yue'er withdrew her gaze and looked at the plaque with the word 'Ya Yuan' written in front of her, and said, "I used to trust someone because of their appearance. When I saw her holding her arms, A woman who has a child thinks that she is a soft-hearted mother, and will naturally have admiration and pity for her. But now, I can hear her inner voice. Although she is holding the child, she is saying and doing evil things. Things that are worse than animals. People, you can't just look at what she says on the surface, but look at her actions and how she does them."

Since returning from prehistoric times, Tao Yue'er has been able to hear the voices in other people's hearts, and is no longer as easy to deceive as before.If this had happened before, she might actually have let her go out of pity for the woman.

But it's different now.She knows that people's hearts are sinister, and that everyone may be wearing a mask on their face, saying one thing but doing another secretly.She will no longer be sold by others and count the money for her.

"Are you really planning to keep her in the elegant courtyard?" Hua Ling asked.

Tao Yue'er nodded: "Yes. Shouldn't I do this?"

Hua Ling smiled and shook her head and said, "That's right." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to Tao Yue'er and said, "Let's go home." They were shopping when something unexpected happened and they were already very nervous. Angry, now that he has escaped successfully, it is time to get rid of him.But Tao Yue'er seemed to have some considerations. "I still have something to do." Tao Yuer said.

"what's up?"

"That child...he is innocent."

After Tao Yue'er finished speaking, Hua Ling realized that she was referring to the baby in the woman's arms.

The baby was most likely not the woman's, but a child she had stolen from someone unknown. Now the woman had become the number one in the elegant courtyard, but the child was innocent, and he could not let his life go in vain.Tao Yue'er and Hua Ling stayed in the front yard and went to the backyard, waiting for the people from the Yayuan to send the child out, and prepared to rescue him.

As night falls, the lanterns begin to turn on, and all kinds of Qin Towers and Chu Pavilions start to do business by the Luoshui River. Thousands of lights are lit up, making the Luoshui River brightly lit.Yayuan is undoubtedly the largest brothel with the most beautiful girls.Naturally, there are as many people coming and going as there are crucian carp crossing the river.

With Tao Yue'er's ability, it is not difficult to seal off this building and even the river, but at night, the people coming and going in this building also have a lot of background.There are serious people who enter through the front door, and there are also many people who are secretive and enter through the back door for fear of being recognized.Tao Yue'er stayed at the back door. Firstly, she didn't want to scare the snake, and secondly, she also saw more things that she didn't usually see.

"Father-in-law, please." An infinitely flattering male voice came. Tao Yue'er looked up from the darkness and saw a man entering the elegant courtyard surrounded by men a generation older than him.Naturally, there were several beautiful ladies who came to greet him.Several people hugged each other and left, which made Tao Yue'er seem to have seen something extraordinary.It turns out that visiting a brothel can also be done together between father-in-law and son-in-law?

Therefore, as long as the daughter of the family does not reconcile with her husband's family, there will not be a rift between the two families, but a community of interests.And it is normal for men to have a wild and wild life outside.

Tao Yue'er couldn't accept it.She felt as if she had never really lived in this world before. Everything she had experienced in the past was like a soap bubble, shutting her inside.Now that the soap bubble has burst, and in the real world, I realize that anything can happen.Anything can exist.

At this moment, several cries came from the door, which soon stopped abruptly.

Tao Yue'er knew that the child had woken up.The woman didn't know how many sleeping drugs she had given him, but now it was time to wake up.In the afternoon, those people could still pretend that the child didn't exist because he was out of the way and could just find a room to leave.But now he woke up, wanted to eat and defecate, and couldn't stop crying, which naturally made the others extremely impatient.

There is no place to raise him.

Tao Yue'er was about to rush in, but unexpectedly, two people had already walked out of the door, carrying a sack in their hands.The sack was half a person's height and thick. No one else would know what was inside, but Tao Yuer'er knew subconsciously that the child was inside the sack.

And that child...has no heartbeat.

Tao Yue'er couldn't hear the voice in his heart, not even his breathing.

In such a short span of time, they had quickly and accurately disposed of the child. Then, they tied the sack with iron blocks and threw it directly into the Luoshui River.

With a "plop", the sack disappeared into the water, splashed a few times, and then sank to the bottom.
