Shengjing Noble

Chapter 197: Fishing for a Rich Husband

Feng'er looked guilty, and obviously didn't doubt her words. She got up and got out of bed in a hurry.

"I, I'm fine! Thank you, young lady. I'll go down first!"

"and many more!"

Su Lanyin called her.

Feng'er stood there stiffly, not daring to look up. She was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"Is there anything else going on, girl?"

"Your clothes and hair are all messed up from sleeping, don't you want to tidy them up? It will be hard to explain if you are discovered."

Feng Er immediately smoothed her hair and clothes, bowed and said, "Thank you for your reminder, young lady."

"Go down."

"Yes."

Seeing her leave, Su Lanyin hurried upstairs and locked the door, then returned to the bed and took out the book from her arms.

She opened the book and checked it in the dim candlelight, and sure enough, it contained information about people who had been trafficked in recent years.

Not only children and women, they even kidnap some defenseless men and sell them into the mountains to work as coal miners.

A rough calculation shows that more than 10,000 people have died in the past three years, and their hometowns are all remote mountain villages.

These human traffickers are distributed all over the country and have specific identities, such as wealthy businessmen. When passing through a village, they deliberately show off their wealth to confuse local villagers and trick their daughters away.

There are also some large teams that collude with the government and even go directly to the villages to rob people!

The more she looked, the angrier she became. Su Lanyin wished she could burn this damn place down.

However, she was more curious about who Nanny Hua and Fu Mingheng wanted to please using her.

Keep this thing for now, it will be of great use in the future.

But it would be a bit dangerous to leave it in the room. If Aunt Hua found that something was missing, she would definitely suspect her.

After thinking about it, Su Lanyin suddenly had an idea.

She glanced at the untouched snacks on the table and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

……

After patrolling the building, Lao Hu found nothing unusual and went back to the backyard to rest. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Su Lanyin standing there with a box of snacks.

He became alert and immediately stepped forward to ask, "How did you get out? Why are you standing here?"

Su Lanyin smiled sweetly at him and held up the snacks: "Master Tiger, I couldn't finish the snacks Feng'er gave me, so I brought them to you to try."

A hint of surprise flashed across Tiger's eyes, but he quickly regained his indifference and forced himself to put on a straight face and said, "Then, then give it to me."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to take it, but Su Lanyin said, "It's not something that Master Tiger can handle. I'll take you to your room."

"I didn't realize you were so sensible."

Tiger said casually and took her into the room.

Su Lanyin placed the snacks on the table and then walked around the room familiarly, touching and looking at this and that, very curious.

"Master Tiger's room is quite bright."

"Don't move! Go back and stay here. You are not allowed to come out without my order!"

He scolded her seriously, but Su Lanyin pouted with a look of grievance.

"I'm just giving you food out of kindness. Since you don't welcome me, I'll just leave."

As he said this, he looked like he was about to cry, and he looked very pitiful.

Tiger Lord has always been cold-hearted, but at this moment he suddenly felt as if someone had pinched his throat and he could no longer utter a word of scolding.

"You wouldn't dare to run away, so you can watch if you want."

Hearing this, Su Lanyin immediately smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Tiger."

She turned and walked towards the shelves where the antiques were displayed, looking left and right.

Tiger looked nervous: "Don't move, you can't afford to pay for those things!"

"Yes, don't move. Hey, what is that?"

Su Lanyin suddenly pointed at a painting behind him.

Tiger turned her head to look, and took the opportunity to immediately stuff the book in her sleeve into an antique vase.

"Oh, that is the work of a painter from the previous dynasty..."

While introducing her, Lao Hu turned around to look at her, but saw that the smile on Su Lanyin's face was gone and she was walking outside.

"Where are you going?"

"It's getting late, and I'm suddenly a little sleepy, so I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, he slipped away. Tiger looked confused. He looked at the snacks on the table, then at Su Lanyin's back, scratched his head, and muttered to himself.

"what the hell!"

……

Su Lanyin lowered her head and carried her skirt as she quickly went upstairs, but accidentally bumped into a woman in a pink dress and a veil.

"Feel sorry!"

She quickly apologized, but the woman pushed her with disgust in her eyes and cursed at her angrily.

"Go away!"

Su Lanyin stepped back a few steps and nearly fell down, but luckily she grabbed the railing and managed to keep her balance.

"I've already apologized, and I didn't mean to..."

"So what if it wasn't intentional? How dare you, a whorehouse maid, hit my daughter? Who knows if you have any dirty disease!"

A middle-aged woman dressed in gold and silver and dressed seductively came down from behind the woman and interrupted her with malicious eyes.

Su Lanyin had important things to do and didn't want to argue with them, not to mention that she was the one who didn't pay attention to the road just now.

So she endured it and stepped aside: "Sorry, you go first."

The girl in pink rolled her eyes. Even though half of her face was covered with a veil, one could still feel how much contempt and disdain were on her face.

"You little bitch, I'm in a good mood today so I'll spare your life, but don't let me see you again next time!"

After saying this, the mother and daughter walked down the stairs and left arrogantly.

As soon as they left, Su Lanyin saw Nanny Qiu Rong standing on the stairs. She thought she had seen everything that had just happened.

"Why is Sister Qiu Rong here?"

Qiu Rong waved at her, and Su Lanyin walked up the stairs and held her.

"How are you? Are you injured?"

"I'm fine, but those two people just now looked unfamiliar and their attitude was very arrogant. Are they from our building?" Su Lanyin was very curious.

"No." Qiu Rong shook her head.

"Then why are you here? Are you here to have fun? Or are you mother and daughter together?"

"That mother brought her daughter to learn from me."

"Learning skills?"

Su Lanyin was greatly shocked, because even if others didn't know, she was very familiar with Qiu Rong's skills.

Being able to come to a place like this to learn such skills...what on earth do this mother and daughter want to do?

"Keep your voice down."

"How can there be such a mother?"

"Of course not. Her mother's original name was Xiao Taohong. She was originally from a brothel. She used sweet words to trick an honest man into buying her freedom and she gave birth to a daughter."

"Later, I don't know how, but the honest man died, leaving all his property to Xiao Taohong and her daughter. Over the years, she has been taking care of her daughter and has been looking for men all the time."

"Now that my daughter has grown up, she came here to learn from me so that her daughter can find a rich husband! Just now, when I heard them chatting, it seemed that they already had a candidate. I don't know which unlucky person this is. I'm afraid he will be the victim."

Su Lanyin curled her lips: "Who cares? The lecher deserves to be cheated. Sister Qiu Rong, go to bed early. I'm going back to my room first."

"Go."
