Chapter 1: Being looked down upon by the gatekeeper
Opening her eyes again, Ruan Li found that she was no longer in the water, but on a rapidly advancing carriage.
What happened? She didn't die? She remembered that she had just dived into the water when she was on a mission and lost consciousness. In the blink of an eye, she was here.
At this time, a wave of memories that did not belong to her flooded into her mind like a tide.
The original owner was a fool named Ah Ruan. She was adopted by a couple in Lianhua Village when she was a child. However, after the couple adopted her, the hostess beat and scolded her, making her life very miserable. A few days ago, Ah Ruan was dying of fever.
, a group of people suddenly came and told her parents that she was originally the eldest daughter of the Xie family, who had been lost since she was a child, and this time they came to take her back to marry the eldest son of the Shen family.
However, on the way, the horse was frightened and ran away, and A Ruan also bumped into the carriage. After the collision, she died directly.
It seems that someone does not want the original owner to return to Beijing.
Suddenly, the carriage jolted sharply, interrupting Ruan Li's thoughts. As a killer, she was keenly aware of a huge murderous aura. She immediately stood up and used Qing Kung Fu to fly out of the carriage. As soon as she landed, she saw the surroundings
The place was filled with men in black holding knives. Ma had been killed by the men in black with darts, and she was surrounded.
"Who is coming?" She looked at the coming person warily.
The men in black didn't speak, but their eyes were full of doubts. They didn't think too much and just swarmed over.
When Ruan Li saw this formation, she didn't say much and stepped forward to fight with many men in black.
She is the number one killer after all, so why send these people to try to kill her?
Unexpectedly, the original owner's body was already suffering from a high fever, and coupled with the fatigue from traveling long distances, he was no longer suitable for too much intense exercise.
She became more and more powerless, and her vision became more and more blurry. She bit her lip, and the smell of blood spread in her mouth. She forced herself to wake up, escaped to the edge of the cliff, jumped, and jumped.
Seeing this posture, the people in black glanced at each other, made sure they saw no one, and then left.
What they didn't see was that Ruan Li hid under a protruding stone along the vines.
Ruan Li dared to climb up the vines when she felt that she no longer had the killing intent.
Before she could climb up, she exhausted all her strength.
No, is she going to die again?
At this time, she felt someone coming again, but they were no longer as murderous as before.
She looked up and saw a man wearing a white brocade robe and a white crown.
"Sir, can you help me?" The man didn't say anything. After thinking for a moment, he pulled her up.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir." When she came up, she saw the wound on the man's arm. The wound might have been pulled by pulling her just now, and it was already bleeding.
"Girl...have you ever seen...a foolish...silly woman?" He said intermittently before fainting due to excessive blood loss.
Ruan Li supported him. The foolish and foolish woman came to see the original owner again.
She took a deep look at the man lying on top of her, hesitated for a while, and then made a decision in her heart.
Ruan Li helped him move forward and found a kind-hearted family in the wild.
She first drank a bowl of rural folk remedies for quickly reducing fever, looked at the man in white lying on the bed, washed it with water, and bandaged his wound with a rag. There was nothing here, so she could only clean him briefly.
one time.
She had a fever to begin with, but after doing this, her eyelids became even heavier, and she fell asleep lying on the edge of the bed.
After a long time, Shen Sichen woke up slowly. He turned around and saw Ruan Li sleeping soundly next to him. Looking at Ruan Li, who was thin but still indescribably beautiful, his heart palpitated inexplicably.
In order not to disturb the sleeping woman, he carefully got out of bed, but accidentally pulled his own wound. However, he couldn't care so much now, so he took out some silver, took off the jade pendant he was wearing and put it on Ruan Li's chest Then he left.
Unfortunately, he didn't even get her name.
Ruan Li stretched and touched her forehead, and found that her fever had subsided.
This rural folk remedy is really useful. She must take this folk remedy back one day.
"At least I saved him. He didn't even say hello. What kind of person is he?" She curled her lips in dissatisfaction.
She asked the farmer for a ladle of water, but unexpectedly saw that the reflection in the water was 70% similar to her original appearance. Her original face was more agile, stunning and charming, while the original owner's face was more pure and harmless.
This... couldn't be her mother's illegitimate daughter, right? She originally thought that the original owner was just a cover-up used by Xie Hua, but now it seems that they found the original owner because they mistakenly identified the original owner as her. That's fine, she Then he can justifiably enter the Xie Mansion and approach Shen Sichen to investigate the Qingshui Order.
Without thinking much, she took the jade pendant and silver that the man left for her and ran towards Kyoto.
On the other side, Shen Sichen sneezed unconsciously and didn't take it to heart. He was now busy picking up the descendants of the Ruan family.
However, when he arrived at Lianhua Village, he learned that A Ruan had already been picked up.
"Young Master, please forgive me, I'm late." Qing Sheng, who had just received the news and rushed over, saw that his Young Master was injured and consciously apologized.
"Get up. The top priority now is to find the descendant of the Ruan family. You go and inquire about her whereabouts." He paused and continued, "Also, you find a woman who holds the jade pendant of the Shen family. "
"Sir, isn't that...?"
"She saved me, and I should repay her." He looked at the poorly bandaged wound on his arm, and then walked away.
The jade pendant had the word "Chen" engraved on it, which was a relic left to him by his mother. At that time, he could obviously keep only some silver coins, but for some reason, he wanted to keep the jade pendant and tell her about his name.
Shengjing, Yihong Building.
Ruan Li rushed to Shengjing day and night and inquired all the way to Yihong Tower.
All the brothels in the world have become the intelligence organizations of Yuhuntang. The headquarters of Yuhuntang is in Yuncheng, but the largest intelligence organization is in Shengjing. Yihonglou is the liaison office of Yuhuntang's headquarters in Shengjing.
As long as she can contact Yihonglou, she can contact the headquarters without contacting information points such as Rouge Shop, and she can also report to her uncle and others that she is safe.
"Stop, let me tell you, you are not welcome in our Yihong Building." Before she entered Yihong Building, she was stopped by a woman standing at the door soliciting customers.
She looked down at her outfit, and it seemed that it was indeed in poor condition.
"Qing Dai, don't say that." The woman next to her pulled Qing Dai.
"Don't pull me away. Letting such a person in will dirty our land, not to mention that she is still a woman." Qingdai looked disdainful.
The girls and Xiao Si next to her didn't dare to speak when they saw Qingdai saying this.
"Girl, don't look down on others." Ruan Li said softly.
"Am I underestimating you? Which family are you, a young lady or an official's wife?" She covered her face with her fan and sneered, "You don't even know who you are, and you have the nerve to talk nonsense here."
There were more and more people around, and there was a lot of discussion.
"Girl, why don't you enter a brothel if you don't have money?" A man with a plump body walked out next to her.
"That's right, it's still a girl's house. She must want to go in and hook up with a few powerful people."
"That's right, it's better to just find someone to marry."
The men who were walking with him also laughed and agreed.
"You grown men are not ashamed to bully a little girl like me." Ruan Li turned around carelessly and glanced at the disgusting man in front of her.
Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she shocked the onlookers behind her.
The man looked at her lustfully and said, "Little girl, why don't you come and be my concubine? Master, I promise to love you well."
People around her unconsciously coveted her beauty, "And me and me."
Everyone rushed to show their kindness, but they were cursed by the man, "You idiot, don't fight with me."
She looked at the scene where everyone who had been criticizing her just now was vying for her, and she smiled contemptuously.
She thought there was something different about the people in Shengjing, but it turned out to be nothing more than that.
"What's so good, vixen." Qingdai looked at this scene and went crazy with jealousy.
"Really? The girl doesn't even have the capital to be a vixen." She turned around and looked at Qingdai in the distance, with the same smile on her face.
"You vixen, what's the point of being pretty? You're not even a beggar."
"What's wrong with the beggar? Girl, we are both from the lower class. Are you discriminating against yourself or me, or are you discriminating against us lower class people who work with our own hands?" She said in one sentence.
This hat was placed on Qingdai's head.
The people around also stopped fighting and waited for Qingdai's answer.
She was a brothel girl who was sold by her family. How could she know this? Qingdai hesitated for a moment and couldn't explain.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" An older woman walked out from Yihong Courtyard wearing brightly colored clothes and thick rouge on her face. She walked very ostentatiously.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Ruan Li knew that she was the madam.
"Who dares to make trouble in front of my Yihongyuan?" As soon as the madam got the news that someone was making trouble, she rushed out, looking like she was not to be trifled with.
"I didn't want to cause trouble. I just wanted a horse and a grapefruit, and I also wanted Cloudy." This was the secret code originally set by the founder of Yuhuntang, her mother, and only the insiders of Yuhuntang knew it.
As expected, the madam in front of her looked at her blankly, and immediately invited her in, "It's easy to talk, girl, please come over here."
The people around were confused as to why the madam, who was so arrogant just now, respectfully invited a beggar in.
