Chapter 212 Tied to the bed
Gao Yanei's home.
Dong Qiqi woke up from her coma and found herself wearing thin silk and tied to the bed in a spread-eagle position.
Gao Yanei was standing in front of the bed, looking at her proudly.
She shouted hurriedly: "Gao Yanei, let me go!"
Gao Yanei asked with a smile: "You are a lowly prostitute, but you think you are some kind of proud princess. You despise me when you see me. Why should I let you go? You are mine now, don't you know?"
"I am not yours! Even though I am a lowly person, I will not allow you to treat me with such disrespect. I will report you to the government."
Gao Yanei came over and touched her face with a smile, then he took out a contract of sale and handed it to her, "My Miss Qiqi, look at what this is?"
After Dong Qiqi saw the words clearly, she was extremely surprised: "Why is my indenture with you?"
Gao Yanei smiled and said, "You'll have to ask your brother Mingxu. Don't you want to elope with her? But he is reluctant to give up the splendor and wealth of the capital and is unwilling to elope with you.
Besides, he has been engaged to the daughter of the restaurant owner a while ago, and they will get married next month. Although you are very beautiful, you are a prostitute. Which man doesn't want to marry a decent woman?"
Dong Qiqi was shocked.
Was it Liu Mingxu who stole her indenture?
Yes, Liu Mingxu grew up in Liu Lefang. He knew Liu Lefang inside and out and naturally knew where her indenture was hidden.
But he’s getting married next month?
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" Dong Qiqi struggled hard, tears streaming down her face. "You lied to me. Brother Xu swore to me forever. How could he betray me?"
"You don't believe it?" Gao Yanei clapped his hands and said towards the door: "Come in!"
The person who came in was Liu Mingxu.
He looked at Dong Qiqi lying on the bed, and couldn't help feeling sad, guilty, and flustered. "Qiqi, I'm sorry."
Dong Qiqi couldn't move and could only ask on the bed: "Brother Xu, why did you do this? If you don't want to elope with me, then you can just reject me. Why did you send me to be abused by Gao Yanei?"
Liu Mingxu lowered his head and said nothing.
Gao Yanei laughed and said, "You grew up in a brothel, how could you ask such a question? He sold you to me because I paid him enough money. Why did he leave his job in the capital and wander around with you? You are a brothel girl, why are you so naive?"
Dong Qiqi was no longer able to speak; she could only look at the yellow beam above her head.
She thought back to the days when she and Liu Mingxu were together. They were both young then and often didn't have enough to eat, so he would steal snacks from the kitchen for her.
She was whipped by the dancer because her dancing posture was not standard. He came over to take the whip for her, and his own back was left with red marks.
She always thought he couldn't live without her.
But who would have known that, because of a few rouge shops and his identity as a person from the capital, he would ruthlessly push her into hell.
Following Gao Yanei, who had special hobbies, she would probably be tortured to death within a few months.
At this time, Dong Qiqi hated Liu Mingxu so much.
I also hate this world!
Liu Mingxu had been driven out by Gao Yanei, and he walked up to her with a lewd smile, holding a small leather whip in one hand and a candle in the other.
The wax from the candle dripped onto her chest, causing pain.
But she held back.
Immediately afterwards, a whip was raised on her leg, and she gritted her teeth and endured it.
Just as Gao Yanei was about to whip her for the second time, a scream suddenly came from outside.
Someone broke in.
Dong Qiqi saw Jing Qishan's figure through her tearful eyes.
The tall and straight man seemed to have fallen from the sky, and knocked Gao Yanei to the ground in a few moves. Then he came in front of her, and seeing that she was only covered with thin silk, he pulled a piece of clothing from the side and covered her with it.
His thick and round voice came: "Send Gao Yanei to the Shuntianfu government office!"
Then he coughed a few times.
He added: "Send Miss Dong Qiqi back to Liulefang and assign someone to guard her."
Li Zhongping responded from behind: "Yes!"
Along with Dong Qiqi, the indenture contract was also sent back.
……
Jing Qishan still persisted in submitting memorials to the old emperor every day.
He was willing to resign, only hoping that the old emperor could tell him the whereabouts of Li Yujiao.
The old emperor never tires of it.
He said to Huang Xiangfu: "Tell me, how can there be such a man in this world? He even gave up his career for a woman!"
Huang Xiangfu didn't understand either, so he could only say, "Everyone has their own way of living."
The old emperor still shook his head: "Tell me, should I fulfill his wish?"
Huang Xiangfu said: "This... still depends on your majesty's wishes."
"Jing Qishan is capable, and I am reluctant to let him resign. But if I don't let Li Yujiao go, I will be worried. What if some people in the capital gossip about her? She will want to avenge her father."
Huang Xiangfu said: "This... this old servant doesn't understand."
"What's Jing Qishan's current situation? Has he still not attended court?"
"No, I take sick leave every day."
"Then it's no different from him resigning from office. The court still has to support his entire household."
"That, that's it!" Huang Xiangfu chuckled.
The old emperor sighed.
"Although I am confused, Li Yujiao is also confused. I am confused because why should I expose her background? She has no impression of her parents, so if I don't expose it, nothing will happen.
Li Yujiao was also confused. She underestimated the determination of that fool Jing Qishan and her to grow old together! "
Huang Xiangfu said: "There will always be some romantic people in this world."
"Forget it, call Jing Qishan over."
……
Jing Qishan can finally enter the palace.
When he saw the old emperor, he knelt down immediately and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me the whereabouts of my wife."
"Are you really unwilling to be an official? You are the Shangshu of the Great Qi Dynasty, a second-rank minister, above all others."
Jing Qishan said confidently: "It doesn't matter if you are a minister or a commoner, if you don't have my wife, Jing Qishan would give up his life!"
"Okay, then I will tell you that your wife has gone to the east to seek refuge with an old prince. The old prince will definitely take good care of her."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Also, after you find your wife, go back to the capital. Yuzhe cannot do without your assistance. As for Li Yujiao, you can still be husband and wife in the capital, but she can no longer be granted an imperial decree."
"I thank you, Your Majesty!"
Jing Qishan took his leave.
After coming out of the palace, Jing Qishan's illness seemed to be cured all of a sudden.
He immediately arranged for his men to prepare the carriage and pack up the things.
"Dad, are we going to look for Mom?"
Jing Qishan kissed his daughter's face and said, "Yes, let's go find mother!"
If Jing Qishan went alone, he could set off overnight, but he was worried about his daughter staying alone in the capital, so he decided to set off the next day and take his daughter with him.
