Chapter 174 Old 9 Gate February Red 2
After drinking the hangover soup, the Eighth Master said, "You said you like the Second Master? No, no..."
Feng Xi sat down and looked at Master Ba and asked, "Why?"
The Eighth Master said, "I once read the fortune for the Second Master. He has the potential to be unlucky with his wife and is destined to live a lonely life!" Feng Xi smiled, got up and went back to her room, saying, "Nothing is absolute!" After listening, the Eighth Master took out the little turtle and prepared to read the fortune for the Second Master, but found that the hexagram was not obvious, which meant that there would be changes in the future.
Meanwhile, Zhang Qishan has taken over the defense of Changsha and is busy with security issues. Recently, news has been received that Japanese individuals are active in Changsha, and the adjutant is closely monitoring them, discovering that they are in contact with the Fourth Master of the Nine Gates. Feng Xi was enjoying roasted pigeon with the Eighth Master at Tianxianglou that day when she saw the Second Master there. As the Eighth Master was about to greet him, he noticed the Second Master arguing with someone downstairs. Feng Xi looked over and saw that they were a group of people trying to take a maid to a brothel, and the Second Master had spotted them. So Feng Xi and the Eighth Master went downstairs to take a look.
The gambling house thug said, "Second Master, the girl's father owed a lot of money to my gambling house, so he gave her to us..." Second Master frowned and said, "How much? I paid her back..."
The gambling thug said, "If Second Master wants it, then 5000 taels of silver will do!" Er Yuehong frowned and was about to say something when the girl said, "Brother, save me!" Feng Xi burst out laughing and said, "Second Master, your sister?"
Second Master saw Eighth Master and Feng Xi and asked, "Why are you here?"
Mr. Ba said, "I was eating roasted pigeon with my sister at Tianxianglou. I saw you arguing with someone, so I came over to check on you..."
Second Master: "This is the noodle seller's daughter, a girl. Not my sister..."
Feng Xi: "Oh! That's not worth 5000 yuan. You know, an average family of three can survive for a year on 50 yuan, but these 5000 yuan will take them 100 years. Not worth it!"
After hearing this, the gambling house thug said, "Don't meddle in other people's business, little girl. Do you want to or not? I'll send her to Aunt Hong..." Feng Xi smiled and said, "Go ahead..." The Second Master was about to say something when he was stopped by the Eighth Master.
At this time, the girl looked at Er Yuehong with tears in her eyes and said, "Brother, save me. I don't want to go to that kind of place. I will be your slave from now on!" Erye was about to reply, but was stopped by Baye. He was not allowed to speak. Erye was extremely anxious, and Feng Xi said sarcastically, "5000 yuan! Do you think it's 50 yuan? It sounds good, but ask Erye if he can come up with the 5000 yuan now!"
Everyone present looked at Er Yuehong. He was the Second Master of the Nine Sects. How could he not even have 5000 yuan? But he really didn't. The Hong Mansion couldn't currently scrape together 5000 yuan, so most of the goods were sold at the stall.
Er Yuehong said, "I don't have that much right now. It'll take three days to get it together!" The gambling thug looked at the girl disappointedly and said, "How about Second Master pay half first?"
Feng Xi spoke first, "1000 yuan, or you can send her to Aunt Hong..." Then, Master Ba and Feng Xi dragged Master Er away. The gambling thug heard this and thought Aunt Hong only wanted 200 yuan, so he said, "Okay!"
Feng Xi threw three large yellow croakers to them, then went to untie the girl's rope. The gambling thugs took the money and left in a hurry. After untying the rope, the girl said, "Thank you, brother and Master Ba for saving me!"
Er Yuehong said, "I didn't save you. It was Feng Xi who saved you, and she paid for it..." The girl was at a loss after hearing this.
Eighth Master said, "Second Master is right, I don't have any money. That money belongs to my sister..." Feng Xi then looked at the girl and felt that she was not as simple as in the plot. She smelled a scent of green tea. But it didn't matter. She would definitely be able to get better if she was taken back to Chunhua and the others for training.
So he said, "Let's go..." The girl looked at Feng Xi confusedly and asked, "Where to?"
Feng Xi rolled her eyes and said, "Of course you'll come back with me to be my maid. Otherwise, why do you think I bought you? You didn't think I was giving you away for free, did you? Let's go now, stop daydreaming."
The girl burst into tears after hearing this. The second master took a look and understood. The gambling thugs' plan just now was probably related to the girl. So he turned and left. The girl cried out, "Brother, help me!"
Er Yuehong said: "Miss Feng Xi bought you, and you will be her maid. At least it is much better than going to a brothel..." Then she left without looking back.
Feng Xi watched Er Yuehong leave and said, "Don't run. Remember, I still have your indenture. If you dare to run, you can try. Come on! Come back with me..." Then, Master Ba and Feng Xi took the girl back to the Qi Mansion and handed her over to Li Momo for training. After they left, Master Ba asked, "Sister, how did you know today that this girl had plotted against Master Er?"
Feng Xi sat down, poured a cup of tea for the Eighth Master and herself, and said: "Why did the gambling house people make such a big fuss about holding the girl with a rope, just in front of the Second Master? And they even offered an exorbitant price? It's just that someone is actually trying to use this to plot against the Second Master. What would the Second Master do if he didn't have money? Go to the tomb, rescue her, bring her back to the mansion, and rescue her with great fanfare. Wouldn't everyone spread the story that the Second Master spent a fortune on a beautiful woman? What would the Second Master do for fame? Marry her, so the gambling house people get the money, and she becomes the Second Master's wife!"
After hearing this, Mr. Ba was shocked and said, "Oh my god! This girl is not simple..." Feng Xi took a sip of tea and said, "Only you men would fall for this kind of trick. Sometimes weakness can also be a weapon..."
