The live fortune telling is so accurate that the whole network is waiting to watch.

Zhang Xuexue said, "But Minister Lu has changed his mind and doesn't want Mudan anymore. And he might even spread rumors outside. If Mudan's reputation as a doomed star spreads, no one will be willing to spend money to support her or redeem her. Forget five thousand taels, you may not even be able to earn five hundred taels."

The madam weighed the pros and cons again and again, and finally nodded and agreed: "Forget it, since you are willing to redeem Mudan and are not so heartless, I will consider it as fulfilling the love between you two."

"Peony!" The madam who was shrewdly calculating just a moment ago suddenly held Bai Jun's hand and burst into tears, "You are more blessed than me. Daddy sincerely hopes that you will be happy in the future. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to Jinghua Pavilion to find Daddy at any time. Daddy will definitely help you with all his strength."

Bai Jun chuckled: "Don't worry, I will never come back."

——Why did you come back? To continue selling yourself? Tsk, you take me for a fool!

"Okay, pack your bags. I'll go get you the indenture."

The deal was done, and the madam didn't waste any time, just walked away twisting her fat butt.

Bai Jun didn't have much to pack. He was not from this world, and there was no need for him to bring Bai Mudan's fancy clothes.

But when he was about to leave, he somehow took away the small box that contained the banknotes.

Zhang Xuexue still felt strange: "Why are you holding an empty box? Didn't you take all the banknotes inside?"

Bai Jun said: "I just think this little box is pretty, it seems to be made of rosewood. If I can bring it back to our world, I will give it to Lao Tan to play with!"

Zhang Xuexue laughed: "You think you are here for tourism, and you are also buying souvenirs?"

After redeeming himself and getting back the indenture, there was no one to stop him when he walked out of Jinghua Pavilion.

The two of them were strolling on the street, intending to look for Sang Feiwan and Yu Beiming, but after walking for a whole day, they still hadn't found them.

Seeing that another day was about to pass, Bai Jun felt extremely melancholy: "Where is the grandmother? And Master Yu, he also looks very insecure, he might have been sold to a brothel, right? Xuexue, how about we go to the brothel to look for her?"

In order to find someone, the two of them actually went to several brothels to ask, but still couldn't find Yu Beiming.

"What should we do next?" Bai Jun was a little melancholy. "Should we find a way to fill our stomachs first?"

Bai Jun hadn't eaten properly from yesterday to today. He was already feeling weak from hunger. He was staring at the buns beside him and swallowing his saliva secretly.

Zhang Xuexue slapped her forehead and said belatedly, "Oh, right, I forgot that you need to eat as a mortal. But I've used all the money to redeem yourself, what should I do now?"

At this moment, several fan-waving women came over and surrounded Zhang Xuexue:

"Ms. Zhang, where have you been these past two days?"

"Hey, isn't this the courtesan of Jinghua Pavilion? I heard that you redeemed her. I didn't believe it at first, but it turns out to be true!"

Zhang Xuexue guessed that these loose women should be the bad friends of "Miss Zhang" before she entered this world.

Zhang Xuexue and Bai Jun exchanged glances.

Zhang Xuexue said affectionately: "Are you guys going to eat? Then come along, I also have something to talk to you about, hehe."

Chatting was fake, the main purpose was to feed Bai Jun. Otherwise, I was afraid that he would starve to death before leaving here.

Among Miss Zhang's friends, there was a Miss Sun, who was said to be a wealthy businessman and was very generous. She chartered a night cruise ship and treated everyone to a meal.

Bai Jun had been hungry for a day and a night, so he sat down on the boat and started eating.

While eating, I always felt that someone was looking at me with ill intention.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Miss Sun.

Miss Sun whistled at him lightly and praised him generously: "I have heard of the name of the courtesan of Jinghua Pavilion for a long time, but I have never had the chance to see her. Now that I see her today, I realize that she is indeed a rare beauty."

Zhang Xuexue frowned and said to Bai Jun, "Go outside to the bow for a while."

Bai Jun was eager to stay away from these lewd women. He glared at Miss Sun and left the cabin.

Miss Sun laughed out loud: "This young man has quite a temper. He actually glared at me? Haha, that's interesting!"

Zhang Xuexue said with a serious face: "Since you regard me as a good sister, you shouldn't covet my man."

Miss Sun took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "Miss Zhang, you came here from another place to take the exam. Your parents have high hopes for you, but you spent all your money on prostitutes. What are you going to do next? Take that prostitute back to your hometown? Have you thought about how to explain to your parents? Will they agree to you marrying a prostitute?"

Zhang Xuexue asked patiently, "What do you mean by these words?"

Miss Sun said slowly, "Didn't you redeem him for five thousand taels? I'll give you six thousand taels and you sell him to me. You can use the money to continue taking the exam, or you can go home and marry a good man. I'm doing this for your own good. He's already a broken woman, there's no need to quarrel with his family over him."

Zhang Xuexue snorted coldly: "I can't possibly sell my man as a commodity."

Miss Sun said, "But you can't afford to support him. Look at how hungry he was just now. He hasn't eaten for at least a day. Men are cheap. If you can't support him, he will soon find another wife. Instead of waiting for him to abandon you, you might as well take the initiative and sell him to me. If you think six thousand taels is too little, I can raise the price."

"Fuck you!" Bai Jun suddenly rushed out and started punching and kicking Miss Sun. "I never hit women, but today I just can't stand it anymore! I'm a human being, not a commodity. What qualifications do you have to buy me? I'm going to beat you to death, I'm going to beat you to death!"

A quarter of an hour later, the night cruise ship docked and Bai Jun and Zhang Xuexue were kicked off the ship.

Miss Sun stood at the bow with a bruised face and nose, and angrily said to Zhang Xuexue: "Zhang, don't be so ungrateful! If it weren't for my friendship with you, I wouldn't want your second-hand goods! I'll give you two days, if you have made up your mind, come find me! After two days, I won't sleep with your man even if he is given to me for free!"

"Bah!" Bai Jun was so angry that he wanted to rush forward to beat her up again, but was pulled back by Zhang Xuexue.

Bai Jun was very angry: "Zhang Xuexue, when I was fighting just now, you were standing there in a daze! You don't really want to sell me out, do you?"

"Am I that kind of person?" Zhang Xuexue looked at the cruise ship that had sailed away. "What happened just now made me feel a little familiar."

Bai Jun snorted, "Familiar? Why are you familiar with it? Have you ever been involved in human trafficking before?"

Zhang Xuexue looked down at the small wooden box in Bai Jun's arms - he had used this box to smash Miss Sun's head when they were fighting just now.

Zhang Xuexue suddenly remembered, "Oh, right, Du Shiniang's Wrath and Sinking of the Treasure Box! I've performed this play before, and the plot is very similar to our current situation!"
