Don't be tempted, sir

Chapter 161 Past

Master Su and his followers came to the garden, and saw a fairy girl sitting under a hedgehog flower, holding a pipa and half covering her face. Master Su immediately became arrogant and dismissed the two followers behind him, bent down and lifted the gauze curtain on the corridor to catch a glimpse of the beautiful woman.

The beauty was hiding her face behind a pearl curtain, and she was playing the zither with her head down. When she raised her eyes, Master Su saw the pair of heterochromatic pupils and could not help but become lustful: "Miss Luo."

Luo Xi under the flower tree is like a civet cat climbing over the wall in the dark night, mysterious and attractive.

Master Su approached with a lustful look in his eyes. A long sword was placed at his throat from behind. The coldness frightened Master Su so much that his legs went limp. He tried to look back, but the sharp sword cut the skin on his neck. He was so painful that he dared not look back.

Luo Xi's piano music had not stopped when a cold voice from behind Master Su asked, "Is she beautiful?"

Master Su was afraid and his voice trembled: "Yes... like a fairy... May I ask who this hero is?"

"It doesn't matter who it is, just remember that this is the person who taught you a lesson!"

"No, no...no! What does a hero want? Silver? Beauty? Or something else? As long as I can give it to a hero, I will give it to him."

"Is it possible to take your life?"

Master Su was so scared that he ran forward and shouted for help, but Zhao Jingmo kicked him from behind and made him kneel in front of Luo Xi. He stepped forward and stepped on Master Su's back, forcing him to kneel like a dog towards Luo Xi who was playing the piano.

"Your followers have already explored the way to the underworld for you in advance."

Master Su couldn't stand up with his hands on his chest, so he knelt down and begged for mercy: "No, man, please don't kill me."

After the song was played, Luo Xi stood up with her zither in her arms. Her watercolor brocade swept across the fallen flowers and fruits. She raised the tip of her embroidered shoes and lowered the chin of Master Su, who was kneeling on the ground. Her eyes were full of different colors and she smiled as she looked down at him. "You said, I stole ten taels of silver from you?"

Master Su looked at the beautiful woman who looked like a fairy, and seemed to have forgotten his current miserable situation and spoke cheerfully like a pug: "No, no, no, how could the beauty steal money? She stole my heart."

Xiuxie kicked away the disgusting face that was looking up at her, and walked away with disdain: "Tsk... it's really arrogant and dissolute, disgusting to the extreme."

Zhao Jinmo, who was stepping on Master Su's leg from behind, said, "Don't look at her!"

"Hey, fine... I won't watch. What on earth do you want to do? I am the county magistrate. Believe it or not, I will punish you!"

Zhao Jinmo raised his foot, smiled and stood with Luo Xi, pointing his sword at Master Su who was about to get up from the ground: "Don't move, have you ever seen a dog crawl?"

Master Su looked up and saw that the boy in front of him was just a young boy. He stood up arrogantly and clapped his sleeves: "Oh, it turns out that they are just a pair of star-crossed lovers. You... give her to me. It's not suitable for a beauty to follow you and fight on the battlefield!"

The arrogant Master Su turned his eyes to Luo Xi and said, "My beauty, what's the point of following a young boy? You might as well follow me! Look, this big house will ensure you enjoy all the splendor and wealth!"

"Don't you dare say anything to him!" Luo Xi stepped forward to attack, but Zhao Jinmo pulled him aside and gave Master Su a severe beating.

Master Su knelt on the ground with a bruised face. Zhao Jinmo turned his wrist and said, "Let me teach you a lesson about the fists and feet of a young boy. Hurry up! You can't crawl like a dog!"

"Yes, yes! I can!" Master Su covered his face and knelt on the ground.

Zhao Jinmo carried Luo Xi up the wall and said to Master Su on the ground, "Listen to the dog barking twice."

“Wang~Wang~Wang~”

The two followers heard the dog barking and came over. Seeing their master standing alone like a big yellow dog at the door, they hurried over to help him up and said, "Master, Master! What's wrong?"

Master Su shivered and looked up. The two people had disappeared long ago, but the two dogs who were said to be dead were alive and kicking.

"Chase! Find that bitch and her lover! I want them dead!"

Two followers: "......"

On the deserted street late at night, Zhao Jinmo pulled Luo Xi and ran while laughing. They were laughing happily and stopped at Ran'anju Alley.

Luo Xi knelt on his knees and panted: "Although I am a bad guy, I am really happy."

Zhao Jinmo leaned against the wall, holding the pipa in his hand and panting: "What's wrong with this? Didn't you reward him with a song?"

The two looked at each other and thought of Master Su crawling like a dog, which was very funny: "Hahaha~"

Zhao Jinmo couldn't hide his excitement. This was the first time he held her in his arms. Luo Xi smiled and patted his chest. When they raised their eyes, their eyes exchanged. The man was handsome and heroic.

"Thank you, Zhao Jinmo!"

"You're welcome. I'm happy to see you happy!"

Luo Xi raised her hand to touch his cheek, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him in the alley late at night. Zhao Jinmo's pupils dilated, and he closed his eyes and responded immaturely, holding the pipa tightly in his hand.

Luo Xi curved his lips, tilted his head and asked in his ear, a voice that only the two of them could hear: "How old are you?"

Zhao Jinmo panted lightly and replied blankly: "Nineteen"

The tenderness left his body, and Luo Xi raised his hand to wipe the water stains on his lips: "At this age... could it be that the time you saw me was your first time in the brothel?"

He nodded with a red neck, Luo Xi smiled and pulled his sleeve back to Anju.

"I first went to a brothel when I was ten years old. At that time, there were endless clothes to wash and water to fetch in the backyard. When I was twelve, the madam allowed me to enter the shop to serve tea and water, which was much better than washing clothes. I watched the women in the shop rely on the customers every day to get money and charity. A sister told me that if I had money, I could leave and become a free bird. I didn't know what a bird was, because I had been sold to various places in a cage. Until one day, the sister came to the mansion to perform and took me with her. The mansion was filled with birdsong, flowers and fragrance, and the wind was full of fresh air. I was used to the smell of cosmetics and powder, but I was greedy for this wind. From that day on, I worked harder just to get a few copper coins from the customers when serving tea. I wanted to go out! It's better to be a servant in the mansion than this."

Zhao Jinmo followed her and listened to her reminiscing about the past. It was so tragic, but she could still talk about it with a smile...

"When I was thirteen, I hadn't even saved one tael of silver. The madam hired a zither player to teach me how to play. She said that I could earn more money that way. During that time, I didn't have to do any work but play the zither. When I was fifteen, I was arranged to perform on stage because I was a master of the zither. I thought that I could get a reward that way. Until someone offered me five hundred taels of silver to clear my name... He was a disgusting man who was the same age as Mr. Su today. From then on, the madam turned me from a laundry girl into a Western beauty. I wandered around the beds of all the dignitaries. No one was willing to give me freedom. They paid a high price just for a night of love."

As they were talking, they came to the door of the guest room. Luo Xi took the pipa from the young man's tightly clenched hands, looked at him with eyes full of pity and said, "You don't have to pity me. Generals kill enemies and prostitutes receive customers. This is fate! I am not worthy of you. Even being your mistress will stain you with dirt. Sir, go to bed early."

Zhao Jinmo stood there in a daze watching her leaving. This was the first time she talked about her past. This was different from the life he knew. He had bought maids and servants from regular human traffickers, and they were all able to leave the house when they reached a certain age. He never thought that she would be sold on the black market for half her life.
