Zhang Xuexue felt a little ashamed: "Well... my strength has decreased a lot now, I'm afraid I can't take you out for the time being. There are too many guards here, I just got in with great difficulty. If I take you with me, I'm afraid we will both be caught."

"What should I do?" Bai Jun's eyes rolled. "Oh, right, am I not an oiran? I should have made a lot of money! Come on, Xuexue, go and see if there is any money hidden in this room. If I can collect enough money to redeem myself, I can redeem myself, isn't that all?"

Zhang Xuexue thought it was reliable, so she quickly started searching the house.

Soon, she found a brocade box in the secret compartment under the bed. When she opened it, she saw that it was full of silver bills.

Zhang Xuexue counted them and found that the face value of these silver notes was five thousand taels of silver, which was really a considerable amount of money!

Bai Jun said: "Maybe this is the money Bai Mudan saved to redeem herself. I just don't know if five thousand taels of silver is worth as much as one thousand taels of gold."

Zhang Xuexue said, "I asked around when I was outside just now. The exchange rate between silver and gold here is 6 to 1, which means that one thousand taels of gold can be exchanged for six thousand taels of silver."

Bai Jun felt a little regretful: "But Minister Lu spent 1,000 taels of gold to buy me, and I only have 5,000 taels of silver. The madam will definitely not agree to let me redeem myself."

Zhang Xuexue looked at Minister Lu lying on the ground and said, "There is a precedence for buying and selling. Even if you can pay 1,000 taels of gold, the madam will not offend Minister Lu for you. But if Minister Lu breaks the contract and is unwilling to redeem you, that's another matter."

Bai Jun thought about it and suddenly realized: "I understand what you mean!"

Zhang Xuexue said: "The problem now is that this old guy may not agree to break the contract."

Bai Jun raised his eyebrows and smiled at Zhang Xuexue: "Don't worry, I have a way!"

The next morning, when Minister Lu woke up, he still felt a dull pain in the back of his head.

Bai Jun sat on the bed, smiling attentively: "My Lord, you are awake. Did you sleep well last night?"

Minister Lu rubbed the back of his head and said, "Why can't I sleep? Why does the back of my head hurt so much?"

Bai Jun said, "You got drunk last night and fell asleep right away. Do you have a headache at the back of your head? You always have a headache after a hangover. I'll pour you a cup of sobering tea and it will stop hurting in a while."

After drinking the tea handed to him by Bai Jun, Minister Lu felt a little better, so he began to touch Bai Jun's body dishonestly with his hands and feet again.

Bai Jun got goosebumps and quickly jumped up and moved away.

Minister Lu's face suddenly darkened: "Why, you don't want to serve me? I fell asleep in a daze last night, and I haven't tasted you carefully yet."

Bai Jun wanted to kill this old man, but he could only force a smile and pretend to be shy: "Sir, you said yesterday that you wanted me to be your concubine? Is that true?"

"Of course it's true! Your dance yesterday really touched my heart!"

"I am very happy to receive your kindness. But there is one thing I still feel I should tell you, otherwise I will feel guilty. Actually, I..."

He paused, pretending to be nervous. "In fact, I am a jinx, my father and mother are unlucky. After my parents died, I was fostered in my aunt's home. My aunt was originally a wealthy businessman, but I caused her to go bankrupt. She was so angry that she sold me to a brothel."

"What?" Minister Lu's voice suddenly rose, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Bai Jun also changed.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes." Bai Jun nodded, "But the fortune teller said that if you meet someone with a particularly strong destiny, the impact will be smaller. My lord, you can reach the high position of Minister, your destiny must be very good, you should not be implicated by me, right?"

As he spoke, Bai Jun took a step forward, and Minister Lu immediately shouted, "Stop right there! Don't come near me!"

"I'm going to ask the madam about the situation right now. If you dare to lie to me, I will never let you off!"

"But the madam may not be willing to tell you the truth. She has been implicated by me recently and has had a lot of bad luck, so she is anxious to get rid of me. If you want to find out, don't mention my unlucky star. It's better to ask about my background first and see if it matches what I just said. Then ask other things."

"My lord, I really want to be good to you, so I don't want to hide it from you. I want to exchange my sincerity with yours. I believe that your fate is very strong, and you will definitely not be implicated by me."

"I understand your true feelings. Wait until I have found out more."

After Minister Lu finished speaking, he hurried away holding his pants.

Bai Jun was ready to give her a ride, but was also rejected.

After closing the door, Zhang Xuexue came out from behind the screen and praised Bai Jun: "Your IQ has improved! If I had known, I would not have saved you last night. You should have used this trick to deal with him directly."

Bai Jun said: "Didn't I suddenly have an idea last night and didn't think of this trick? It's all thanks to the inspiration you gave me!"

"No matter what era, the star of misfortune is always very intimidating! Sometimes the higher the status, the more afraid of bad luck. A rich and powerful person like Minister Lu enjoys his life of eating, drinking and having fun. How dare he take the risk of being implicated by me?"

"When he went to the madam to inquire about the situation, he found out that Bai Mudan's parents had indeed died when she was young and that she had been sold to a brothel by her aunt. He couldn't help but believe it."

Lies are usually mixed with the truth to make it difficult to distinguish between the truth and the lies.

Before using this trick, Bai Jun deliberately asked his personal servant about Bai Mudan's background.

Just as he thought, any man who goes back to a place like fireworks must have a miserable life experience.

So he processed it a little bit and used it to fool Minister Lu.

As expected, Minister Lu was scared away.

Not long after, the madam rushed in aggressively.

Seeing Zhang Xuexue was also in the room, he became even angrier and pointed at Bai Jun's nose and cursed:

"You lowly bastard! I tried to persuade you with all my heart yesterday, but you are still with this poor woman! Do you really think she loves you sincerely?"

"Bah! Don't I understand women's minds? She just wants your body because you are young and pretty. You actually offended Minister Lu for her and ruined my business! Today I must teach you a lesson..."

He spoke quickly and in a broken voice, with a bunch of unpleasant words pouring out.

It was not until Zhang Xuexue threw a stack of banknotes on the table that she interrupted him:

"Is this money enough to redeem Bai... Mudan? I said I would raise the money, and I will definitely raise the money."

The madam took the banknotes and counted them one by one, then slammed them heavily on the table: "These banknotes can only be exchanged for 5,000 taels of silver in total, but Minister Lu gave 1,000 taels of gold!"
