The Demon Concubine of God

Shen Wen and Chunyan were chatting about the affairs of the mansion on the roof. Yuexian, who was serving Nanny Hui in the room, had not seen Chunyan, so she came out to look for her. She was also shocked to see Shen Wen, and she scolded Chunyan for not knowing the consequences of her life and taking the girl to such a dangerous place. Shen Wen smiled and said to Yuexian, "I brought her up here, so stop yelling, we will go down now. I can't stay any longer, and I see that you two are not good at cooking. I just want to know where to get the food from our Waterside Building. You guys are busy here, and I will get it myself. I'm full here, but the Chu sisters haven't eaten yet. No matter how hungry they are, we can't let the patients starve, what do you think?"

Yue Xian quickly slapped her face and said, "Oh, look at my memory. I will go to the gatehouse to get breakfast for the girls."

Seeing that the girl was in a hurry, Shen Wen let her go. Shen Wen turned to Chunyan and asked, "Why don't you go to the main kitchen to get your meals?" Chunyan said, "We are too far away from the masters, so the superiors told us to change the rules. Behind our waterside building is the opera troupe that the mansion keeps. There are dozens of dancers and singers there, so the kitchen they set up is not smaller than the masters'. We are using the kitchen with them now."

Shen Wen said: "Speaking of this opera troupe, I heard that Miss Zhirou and Miss Yunniang in our building are both excellent dancers and singers. If they want to practice, do they have to go to the opera troupe?"

Chunyan said, "No need for that. Yunniang has performed dances for the ladies in the palace. I heard that she was very popular. So when she was sent here, our mansion specially built a practice room for Yunniang. That place is very big, as big as a music studio. The place is also well built, right next to the Xianhe Tower. Speaking of the Xianhe Tower, it is actually a singing and dancing venue for banquets."

Shen Wen said: "So Miss Zhirou and Yunniang spent more time in the training room. I was wondering, I didn't see Miss Zhirou in the Waterside Pavilion."

Shen Wen took Chunyan's hand and led her down the ladder near the house. As soon as they came down, a little girl came to Shen Wen in a very proper manner. The girl was dressed better than Chunyan and the others. When she saw Shen Wen's face, she looked her up and down for a long time before saying, "Are you Miss Shen? I'm from the second grandmother's courtyard. Come with me."

After saying that, she turned around and walked away. After taking two steps, she looked back and saw Shen Wen still standing there in a daze. She said coldly, "Are you still not leaving?"

Chunyan stopped Shen Wen who was about to follow her and said to the maid, "Look, this dress is only given to the older maids in the mansion this year. What's your name? I was originally a second-class maid in the Second Young Master's courtyard. I've seen the older maids in the Second Madam's courtyard, but why haven't I seen you before?"

The girl then looked at Chunyan with a squinting eye and sneered, "You who work for the Second Young Master, how long have you not been with him? The first and second-rank maids in the Second Young Master's courtyard have been replaced countless times, not to mention the things happening around the Second Madam. Come on, don't mention your glorious past."

“You…you”

Chunyan's face turned red.

After hearing this, Shen Wen looked at the girl twice more, and then said to Chunyan: "Okay, you go and do your thing, I'll be back soon."

Hui Ma's courtyard was very close to the east gate, and they were out of the east gate in a short while. It was strange that the gatekeeper happened to be on duty at that time, so they got out smoothly.

Turn left after exiting the door. There is a small path leading to the back of the waterside pavilion, which can be extended all the way to the small bridge. After crossing the small bridge is the practice room of the opera troupe. Shen Wen has already checked it.

Shen Wen reminded her, "Miss, you've taken the wrong path. If you want to go to the Second Madam's Courtyard, you have to go from the front and keep going after the waterside pavilion."

The girl turned back with a cold face and scolded: "We have to call the Narcissus girl who sings the female role. Stop talking nonsense and just follow me."

But Shen Wen didn't leave.

The girl became even angrier, and walked back to glare at Shen Wen, staring at him closely, as if this would suppress Shen Wen in terms of momentum.

Shen Wen raised his leg and kicked her to the wall, then used a judo split to press her against the wall. The girl couldn't break free no matter how hard she tried. She didn't expect Shen Wen to be good at fighting. She was still unconvinced and said angrily, "Miss Shen, how can you be so rude? Which girl would be like you, raising her legs so indecently? You are really a country girl."

Shen Wen patted her face like a gangster and said, "You sounded weaker. What? Are you scared?"

Shen Wen blew a breath on her face and teased her, "Where do you want to take me? There are men in that troupe. But I'm not worried. But you, do you believe me? I can knock you out, strip you naked and throw you into the house of those people."

The girl was frightened now. She struggled even harder and said, "How dare you? I am the top maid in the Second Madam's courtyard..."

Shen Wen interrupted: "Once you're a girl, you don't like men anymore? Once the rice is cooked, who knows if they seduced you or you seduced them?"

The girl was so angry that she was about to spit blood. She kept saying "you you" and I didn't know how to respond.

Shen Wen said, "I will count to three. If you don't confess, I will strip you. It will be useless for you to call for help. If a woman comes, I will strip her too. If a man comes, I will ask him to carry you away. You will be so embarrassed to be carried away naked by a man in broad daylight... Tsk tsk tsk, what a sudden exposure."

The girl was frightened by her obscene words and blatant dirty talk. She dared not play tricks anymore. She knew that the men in this place were very bold and she didn't dare to try it.

She cried anxiously, "I said... I said, I am really a maid in the Second Madam's courtyard, but I am not a first-class maid, but a third-class maid, and I was just promoted. Because I am a house-born girl, my name is Xiaohong, my mother is popular in the Second Madam's courtyard, and Aunt Yinhua promised me that she would promote me to a first-class maid next month. Girl, please don't take off my clothes, or I will die. I was bewitched by the devil, and I got the favor of Aunt Hua, so I did things for her. She told me to trick you into that opera troupe. You are a newcomer in a new place and you are unfamiliar with the place, so you will definitely come into contact with those low-class people..."

She raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Wen secretly, then glanced down.

Shen Wen said: "Tell the truth...how do you contact me?"

The girl said in panic: "I don't know about this. It was all Aunt Hua's idea. In fact, this has happened before. Several maids in the Waterside Tower were abused. They said that the Waterside Tower was a brothel. Even the masters and servants were not clean."

Shen Wen thought about Chu Yanqiu's concubines and asked in confusion: "Aunt Hua? Which Aunt Hua? Isn't she Chu Yanqiu's concubine? Then whose concubine is she? Your second master's?"

The girl said, "She is not the second master's concubine, but the concubine that the second young master just took in. The beggar Jieyu was originally a prostitute in Xiyaolou, but she caught the eye of Prince Rui and was bought and given to the second young master, so she was a concubine from the beginning."

Shen Wen exhaled, put down the legs that were holding Xiao Hong, smiled and tilted his head to say to the girl: "Okay, you can leave, but leave secretly from somewhere else, and don't let her spies see you."

Xiao Hong thought for a moment and nodded, "I understand. I will go back through the back door of the waterside building, then quietly go out the west gate and go around to the north. There is a boat there, and I will take it."

Shen Wen planned to fall into this trap. Now her physical strength was a little stronger than that of a normal woman. Although she couldn't deal with masters, she could still deal with a few hooligans. She knew that the men in the troupe could do some fancy moves, but she didn't know if they had ever fought with others, especially with an international spy who killed people like crazy.

Then Shen Wen took out two porcelain bottles from her pocket, one of which was Dr. Sun's Wubu Powder, and the other was the drug she had researched. She looked at her beautiful nails again. It was fine if this thing didn't draw blood, but if it scratched the skin, it would go to the heart along the blood vessels in an instant, and she didn't know if the person could survive. The chemical was highly toxic, and it was mixed with several highly toxic substances. Where did it come from? Of course, it was found in An Laogui's warehouse. What he had was not invented by the old man himself, but real modern industrial waste. This mystery still needs Shen Wen to explore and discover.

Shen Wen entered the theater alone. It was time for lunch. The rules here are that you don't eat breakfast, lunch has to be served earlier, and you have to eat another meal at night and continue practicing martial arts, and then go to bed hungry. The Waterside Tower only provides two meals, breakfast time is optional, lunch is on time, and the big kitchen doesn't give me food at night. If you are hungry, you can pay for someone to cook for you.

There was one courtyard for female actors and another for male actors. Most of them were little kids and girls. It was said that those who had become stars had their own courtyards and were taught by their own masters. Shen Wen went to the courtyard of the female actors first. There was an old maid standing in the courtyard scolding a little girl with a cane, and the others were standing by and watching. When they saw a stranger coming in, the old maid stopped and turned around to ask rudely, "Whose girl are you from and what are you doing here?"
