Red Mansion Jia Enhou

Chapter 296: Falling into Xiangcui Tower

Everything in Rongguo Mansion was moving in the right direction until one day.

In the capital, a courtesan named Xiao Fengxian suddenly appeared.

The oiran was famous for her stunning looks.

Rumor has it that Xiao Fengxian's beauty can be compared to that of the fairy concubines in heaven.

Anyone who has seen her is attracted by her appearance.

However, today is the day when Xiao Fengxian will officially appear.

At this moment, Xiangcui Tower is already filled with nobles from the capital and wealthy businessmen from all over the country.

The purpose of these people coming here is very simple, just to see Xiao Fengxian's appearance.

Jia Lian, a playboy in the capital, sat in the audience bored.

The madam went on stage to give a speech, and her words were full of admiration and praise for the courtesan.

Slowly, Wang Xifeng's figure began to appear and disappear. After being taught by the madam, Wang Xifeng had now shed her former immaturity and became more charming and bold.

After a while, Wang Xifeng made her full appearance.

Wang Xifeng, with her face half covered, stood on the stage with no joy or sadness. At this moment, she was just a commodity.

The disappointment in Wang Xifeng's heart could no longer be described in words.

At this moment, she was searching for someone in the crowd.

It would be great if Jia Lian could appear here.

The playboy sitting next to Jia Lian saw Wang Xifeng's half-revealed face and became excited instantly.

"Second brother, the person is on top."

Wang Xifeng looked around calmly until she found Jia Lian sitting close to her in the audience.

As he was stunned, regret flashed in his eyes.

"Look, second brother!"

Seeing that Jia Lian's attention was not on the courtesan, the playboy pulled Jia Lian.

Jia Lian raised his head out of boredom, and his eyes met Wang Xifeng's.

Jia Lian looked on in shock.

Why is Fengjie here?

Didn’t she escape? If she escaped, why is she here?
Tears welled up in Wang Xifeng's eyes.

Just now, she wanted Jia Lian to save her so much, and now she hoped Jia Lian would leave.

The playboy came up to Jia Lian with a wink and a look in his eyes.

"Did Second Brother take a liking to this girl?"

Jia Lian did not respond.

The playboy frowned and pushed Jia Lian.

"Second Brother Lian?"

Jia Lian turned his gaze to the playboy with difficulty.

"Why are you staring at that little Fengxian?"

"Second brother knows him?"

Sensing something was wrong, the playboy asked Jia Lian.

Jia Lian was silent at this moment.

He didn't know how to answer, let alone how to make a choice.

But he couldn't just watch Wang Xifeng being abused.

Jia Lian raised the sign in his hand, and the playboy was shocked.

His second brother, who was always stingy and only cared about not spending money, actually raised a sign for the yellow-haired girl on the stage whose hair had not even grown out yet.

Is his second brother crazy?

The playboy looked at Jia Lian in disbelief.

Jia Lian spent three thousand taels to get the opportunity to live with Wang Xifeng.

The playboy watched Jia Lian enter Wang Xifeng's room, and he had not yet come to his senses.

Jia Lian was already living in the same room with Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian in front of her, gritting her teeth and pretending to remain calm.

"Since you've taken my picture, let's get started!"

Wang Xifeng, who didn't want to be looked down upon, began to take off her clothes.

Jia Lian closed his eyes and stopped Feng Jieer.

"Sister Feng, stop it!"

Jia Lian held Wang Xifeng's hand, and Wang Xifeng's voice became tearful.

"Isn't this why you came here, Master?"

Jia Lian gave a bitter smile and opened his eyes.

"If that's what I wanted, why would I stop you?"

Wang Xifeng burst into tears.

"Please save me, Jia Lian!"

Wang Xifeng suddenly knelt down in front of Jia Lian and began to cry.

"I'm afraid I can't survive if I stay here. Do you remember the one request you promised me?"

Wang Xifeng looked up at Jia Lian.

There was a flicker of emotion in Jia Lian's eyes.

"What exactly is going on?"

"How did you get sold into a brothel? When Wang Ziteng was rescued by the Tatars, didn't he take you with him?"

Jia Lian asked Wang Xifeng with concern. As the tears in Wang Xifeng's eyes became more and more intense, a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.

"no!"

Wang Xifeng answered Jia Lian.

Jia Lian frowned.

"Then how did you escape?"

Jia Lian continued to ask, and Wang Xifeng lowered her head.

Chen treated her well, and Wang Xifeng, who didn't want to bring trouble to Chen, subconsciously started talking nonsense.

"I was kidnapped during a chaos!"

"Jia Lian, can you save me?"

Wang Xifeng, with tears in her eyes, pulled up Jia Lian's clothes.

"If you don't save me, I really won't be able to survive."

Wang Xifeng began to threaten Jia Lian with her own life, and a struggle flashed in Jia Lian's eyes.

On one side are the deceased uncles and on the other side is one's childhood sweetheart.

How should he choose?
Jia Lian lowered his head.

Wang Xifeng suddenly felt something was wrong and bit her lips hard.

Jia Lian is her life-saving straw.

If I can't grab this straw, I'm afraid I'll be stuck here for the rest of my life.

Wang Xifeng, unwilling to fall into this state, pretended to be ready to die in order to ask Jia Lian to save her, and finally began to bang her head against the pillar.

Jia Lian was frightened and tried to stop her quickly, but Wang Xifeng started crying to Jia Lian again.

"If you don't want to save me, why do you want to stop me from dying?"

Jia Lian was silent.

Looking at Jia Lian in front of her, Wang Xifeng gave a miserable smile.

"Don't stop me, Jia Lian."

"I am in this brothel. Apart from death, is there any other way for me to clear my name?"

Listening to Wang Xifeng's words, Jia Lian began to feel uncomfortable.

But I was still hesitant in my heart.

Wang Xifeng, with a ruthless heart, broke free from Jia Lian, and hit her head against the pillar, looking at the blood flowing from her head.

Jia Lian's eyes widened, and then he came to his senses and looked at Wang Xifeng.

"Sister Feng!"

Jia Lian slapped Wang Xifeng on the face, but Wang Xifeng didn't react.

Jia Lian began to regret.

Why couldn't he save her?
Jia Lian, who had feelings for Wang Xifeng, picked her up horizontally. The madam saw Jia Lian coming out and hurried to greet him.

"Why did the Second Master come out?"

"But Xiao Fengxian"

The madam's eyes fell on Wang Xifeng in Jia Lian's arms, and she began to stammer in shock.

"This this."

"Second Master, what happened to Fengxian's head?"

The shocked madam pointed at Wang Xifeng's head.

Jia Lian glanced at the madam.

If it is true as Wang Xifeng said, that she was abducted, then this old brothel owner is one of the kidnappers. Jia Lian looked at the old brothel owner with disgust, and finally uttered a word rudely.

"roll!"

Jia Lian yelled at the madam, and the madam looked at Jia Lian in disbelief.

Jia Lian continued to walk out holding Wang Xifeng.

Looking at Jia Lian's back, the madam reacted and chased after him, lifting her skirt.

"Second Master, you can't just take Xiao Fengxian away like this!"

The madam who caught up with him began to stop Jia Lian. The guests who had not left the building all looked towards Jia Lian.

When everyone saw the wound on Xiao Fengxian's head, they began to speculate.

Some said that Jia Lian beat him, while others said that the girl was chaste and did it herself.

Anyway, it hasn't been long since she went in, and Xiao Fengxian's head has already broken out?
"roll!"

Jia Lian roared again.

The madam was shocked. To be able to survive in this Shenjing city, it goes without saying that her methods are very sophisticated.

The madam reacted and started to argue.

"Why did the Second Master ask the old woman to get out?"

"Xiao Fengxian's indenture is with me. She is mine in life and mine in death. If Second Master insists on taking her away, I will have no choice but to report the case to the county government tomorrow!"

"A runaway slave won't have a good end. For Xiao Fengxian's sake, I can't take her out with me!"

The madam began to threaten and the door was blocked by several big men.

Looking at the big man at the door, Jia Lian knew that it was impossible for him to rescue Wang Xifeng tonight.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian put Wang Xifeng down.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will bring the money!"

Jia Lian instructed the madam.

The madam looked at Jia Lian's back with complacency. What is the relationship between Xiao Fengxian and Jia Lian?
Why did Jia Lian want to redeem Xiao Fengxian when they met for the first time?
The madam called Wang Xifeng's roommate over.

Her intuition told her that Wang Xifeng had a close relationship with Jia Lian.

If she could uncover their relationship, it would be a good opportunity for her.

"Somebody come!"

The madam gave orders to people.

Soon, several girls were brought in.

When they saw the madam, it was as if they had seen the god of plague.

"What is the relationship between Xiao Fengxian and Mr. Lian?"

The madam came straight to the point.

How would those little girls who were bought by lottery know?

The only thing they knew was that she and Jia Lian were relatives.

The madam's eyes darkened. What relatives?
If it really belonged to the Rongguo Mansion, why would it be sold?
The madam had the girls taken away.

Finally, I lay on the step alone, squinting my eyes, smoking a cigarette, and thinking about it.

Time flies by.

As the smoke spread, the madam remembered something that happened in the city.

Even though it happened several months ago, it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

The madam asked someone to make a copy of the wanted notice for the Wang family.

When the notice reached the madam's hands, her eyes lit up.

She finally understood why Mr. Lian wanted to save Xiao Fengxian.

It turns out that she is the eldest daughter of the Wang family.

The madam couldn't help laughing. It seemed that Mr. Lian was really a lovesick man.

This Wang Ziteng has harmed three hundred people in the Jia family, yet he still wanted to save his niece.

It’s good to be a lovesick person, because lovesick people are easily controlled by others.

"Take good care of Xiao Fengxian, isn't it Miss Wang?"

"Whether our Xiangcui Building can prosper depends entirely on her!"

While the madam was smiling with a smug look on her face, news about Jia Lian's ridiculous events the night before spread throughout the capital.

After returning from his visit, Jia She went to the study.

In the study, Jia She sat tall at the desk in the middle.

Jia Lian lowered his head and stood in front of Jia She's desk like a good boy.

What Jia Lian did has now reached Jia She's ears.

He does not allow pornography, gambling or drugs to occur; this is his bottom line, and he also hopes this is Jia Lian’s bottom line.

"Dad, I know I was wrong."

"I shouldn't have gone to that Xiangcui Tower!"

In the depressing atmosphere, Jia Lian lowered his head and apologized to Jia She.

Jia She could understand why Jia Lian went to Cuixiang Tower. After all, as a man, how could he not have any social skills?

However, he could not understand Jia Lian's involvement in the capture of courtesans and flower girls, and he could not forgive Jia Lian.

Rongfu had set three rules long before Jia Zheng nearly lost his life in gambling.

One of the rules is that one cannot participate in escorting prostitutes. Now that Jia Lian has participated, it is a slap in his face.

Jia She looked at Jia Lian with rare anger, but he considered Jia Lian's age.

Jia She still chose a gentle approach.

"Lian'er, besides apologizing, don't you have anything else to say to your father?"

Jia She's eyes were fixed on Jia Lian, but Jia Lian didn't dare to look him in the eye.

What does this mean? It means he has something to hide.

"Just speak your mind, Lian'er!"

Jia Lian looked up at Jia She.

"Dad, can I really say that?"

Jia She took a deep breath.

"Just tell me, your father won't make things difficult for you!"

But it will punish you!
"Dad, do you know who the courtesan in Xiangcui Tower was yesterday?"

Jia She frowned.

"who is it?"

Who could attract Jia Lian's attention?

"Wang Xifeng!"

Jia Lian closed his eyes and uttered Wang Xifeng's name.

Jia She looked at Jia Lian in disbelief.

"Wang Xifeng, how could it be Wang Xifeng? How could Wang Xifeng end up like this?"

"Didn't Wang Ziteng take Wang Xifeng with him?"

Jia Lian shook his head at Jia She.

If she had taken him away, Wang Xifeng would not have ended up like that.

"What's going on?"

"Wang Ziteng abandoned Wang Xifeng?"

Jia She asked subconsciously, and Jia Lian shook his head at Jia She.

"I don't know about that, father. Wang Xifeng said that she was abducted by a kidnapper."

After being kidnapped by a kidnapper, Jia She's face was wrinkled into a big "embarrassing" character.

How could Wang Xifeng, who is always known for her cleverness, be abducted so easily?
However, Jia She always felt that this matter was not that simple, or that Wang Xifeng was lying.

"Lian'er, go back first!"

Jia She gave orders to Jia Lian, and Jia Lian bowed to Jia She and left.

Looking at Jia Lian's back, Jia She sighed in his heart, silly boy, the matter of Wang Xifeng is probably not that simple.

At least she wasn't kidnapped.

Not to mention anything else, Chen and others left before Wang Ziteng.

Wang Ziteng arrived in Tartary safely, so how could anything happen to Chen and others?

It is impossible that Wang Ziteng, a veteran in officialdom, did not understand the principle that a cunning rabbit has three burrows.

So Wang Xifeng should have been sold out by someone close to her. Why do we make such a guess?
Not only is Feng Jieer not someone who is easily fooled, she is also a very cunning person.

This can be seen from the original novel where she sees through the thoughts of the Ning Mansion's servants at a glance.

Such a person, even if he is young, is not easy to deceive.

So Wang Xifeng fled with Chen and others. As for Wang Ziteng, he should have been rescued by the Tatars.

"Somebody come!"

After confirming his guess, Jia She called for someone outside the door.

The boy trotted in.

"master!"

"Go call Steward Lin!"

He asked Lin Zhixiao to find out one thing, which was where Wang Xifeng was bought from.

As long as this is confirmed, Chen and others will be able to find it.

Although he disdained to attack women and children, controlling Chen and his group was equivalent to controlling Wang Ziteng who was far away in Tatar.

He just didn't believe that Wang Ziteng could really abandon his wife and only daughter.

Having made up his mind, Jia Lian gave instructions to Lin Zhixiao. At the same time, in Xiangcui Tower, the madam began to become anxious because she could not see Jia Lian.

She wants to cooperate with Jia Lian.

Wang Xifeng is the key.

Those who work in this field all have some power behind them.

However, these forces are not worth mentioning compared with a towering tree like Rongguo Mansion.

And if she could rely on Wang Xifeng to climb up to Jia Lian's branch, who in the entire Pingkangfang would dare to look down on her, Mrs. Wu.

By then, I'm afraid she will be able to compete for the reputation of the first floor. (End of this chapter)
