Chapter 93: Died Under Her Own Father's Body
Wan Tang walked to the nearest soft couch, squatted down, and asked the girl on it.
"Young lady, can you tell me where this is? What kind of brothel is this?"
The girl seemed not to hear her, staring blankly in a certain direction without any reaction.
Wan Tang frowned, about to ask again, when she heard a female voice behind her.
"Don't bother, she's long since lost her own thoughts." The woman, around twenty years old, chuckled as she dressed herself. "In a while, you'll become just like her. First, you'll lose control of your body at night, then you'll lose control even during the day, and then you'll completely lose your reason and become a complete puppet."
A hint of sarcasm played on her lips as she looked at the girl who had just entered. She couldn't help but think of herself when she had entered not long ago, feeling just as scared and helpless.
The seniors who were still conscious here also reminded her of the same thing.
Wan Tang stood up instantly, looking at her nonchalant expression, and hurriedly asked, "Which brothel is this? How much ransom do we need to get out?"
"This isn't a brothel, it's the backyard of the Qiao family mansion." The woman sat on a soft couch, picking up a cup of tea. "We don't entertain ordinary people every day, we entertain high-ranking officials and nobles. Ransom? Don't dream about it, we'll never get out of here except by dying."
Looking at her, Wan Tang's heart couldn't help but tremble, and the tears that hadn't fallen before now dripped down her cheeks.
"Are you... just going to accept your fate like this?"
"There's nothing we can do even if we don't accept our fate. This is the backyard of the Qiao family mansion; how could we possibly run away?"
Hearing this, Wan Tang felt a chill in her heart. But she still refused to accept her fate.
She had to run away because her father, mother, younger brother, and younger sister were all waiting for her at home.
Wan Tang stopped talking to the woman, walked to the side, picked up some pastries from the table, and secretly hid some of them.
She behaved very well, no different from the other girls.
As evening fell, the sound of a lock being opened came from the doorway, and groups of people walked in.
Mr. Qiao was walking at the very front.
He grinned lewdly, pointed in his direction, and said to another man with a mustache, "This is the new guy. Look at him, he's good-looking."
"She looks quite pretty, and you know my tastes, so let her wear those clothes."
Mr. Qiao smiled and agreed, then directed the numb girl beside him to take a set of clothes from the closet and place them in front of her.
Wan Tang felt a wave of nausea upon hearing this. Looking at the piece of fabric, she couldn't imagine what it would look like on her.
She desperately wanted to vomit by the bedside, but her body wouldn't cooperate.
The mark on her forehead faintly glowed, and she uncontrollably put on that dress.
Wan Tang was extremely ashamed. She wanted to close her eyes and stop looking, but a strange smile involuntarily crept onto her face.
As she finished dressing, the man with the mustache walked towards her, and the red silk fell down, obscuring the scene inside.
Wan Tang closed her eyes, thinking that it would be over soon.
But the next second, they realized that someone else had walked in.
Wan Tang felt a sudden alarm bell ring in her mind. She opened her eyes abruptly, her gaze filled with resistance and pain.
No……
She desperately wanted to speak, but with a smile still lingering on her lips, she couldn't utter a word.
no.....
The red candle had burned halfway down, and the ambiguous sounds in my ear never stopped.
They've finally left.
Just as Wan Tang was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she saw someone else walk in.
......
Day after day, she was trapped in this courtyard in agony.
Finally, on this day, she hid behind the door and waited for the person delivering the food to go inside, thinking she could sneak out.
But they didn't expect that making the slightest noise would immediately expose them.
Just then, the girl who had spoken to her called out to the person delivering the food and started chatting with him.
Wan Tang gave her a grateful look and quickly ran out of the courtyard.
She hid and dodged, searching everywhere in the mansion for a dog hole.
But before she could find the dog hole, she bumped into Qiao Ya, who had just returned home.
Wan Tang tried to dodge, but was caught red-handed.
Qiao Ya knew about what had happened at her own Youhua Courtyard, and immediately had the butler escort the person back.
As Wan Tang struggled, the Qiyun hairpin she had hidden close to her body fell to the ground and was picked up by Qiao Ya.
Seeing that the hairpin was exquisite, she put it away.
After Wan Tang was taken back, she was naturally subjected to a severe beating.
The whip lashed her body, tearing her skin and flesh.
Even though she was beaten half to death, she still thought about escaping.
But that very night, as soon as it got dark, the door was opened again.
Wan Tang watched as the person approached, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Those two familiar faces were people she knew.
"Father, have you come to save me?"
When Wan Tang saw her family's eyes instantly turn red, she wanted to rush forward and hide behind her father, but she couldn't move an inch.
When Wan Tang heard her father talking to the person in front of her with a smile, she felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water.
It was him...
"Of course, she helped me land a big deal."
"Then... what about the money I owe the Qiao family?"
"Don't worry, I'll return those IOUs to you tomorrow, and all debts between our two families will be wiped clean." Old Master Qiao stroked his beard with a good-natured smile and said, "Since you're already here..."
Wan Tang didn't hear what was said clearly. She watched the figure approach and tried to back away in fear, but the mark on her forehead glowed and her body was out of control.
But at that moment, she couldn't do anything, not even struggle.
Wan Tang closed her eyes in utter despair, tears streaming down her face, her heart filled with resentment.
She never imagined that someone close to her would use her to pay off a debt!
Wan Tang felt utterly hopeless, and her face showed the same numbness as those girls.
From gradually feeling nauseous and filled with hatred to now being numb, Wan Tang has become resigned and even thinks that dying sooner would be a relief.
As if God wanted her to be free from suffering sooner, she died two days later, dying of despair.
After Wan Tang died, her body was never taken away.
So her body remained there for a long time.
Perhaps because of the formation, her body was intact and showed no signs of decay.
...
A snap of the fingers pulled everyone out of the illusion.
Once Yun Fanjing recovered her senses, she couldn't hold back any longer and pointed at Master Qiao's nose, starting to curse: "You're simply a wolf in sheep's clothing, doing such disgusting things. You're unworthy of being born a human!"
"Their families sold them to me. Since they were sold to me, they are my maids. Naturally, they will do whatever I tell them to do!"
