Chapter 557: Little Face Yellow
----
——Alas, the world is difficult, and life is even more difficult for women.
——Wuwuwu, no, Qianqian wouldn’t really want to commit herself to this old man, would she?
——Looking at this trend, it is very likely. In the trailer, Li Qianqian is dressed as if she is pregnant, and later on she has a child, which may be the child she gave birth to General Song.
——Uh...there’s something I don’t know whether I should say “mmp” or not.
——No way?! The beginning is so good, and the plot at the end is so magical?
——Although, I want to say that Zhang Ziyun is well maintained and looks young. In fact, the actor who plays General Song, Mr. Guo Cheng, is only 7 years older than Zhang Ziyun who plays Li Qianqian.
——It's not just a matter of age difference, but the difference in appearance, they are not a good match, understand? The most important thing is that this General Song has a wife, children and concubines.
——That’s right, isn’t Li Qianqian the protagonist? Even if her official partner is a general, he should be a brave and extraordinary young man, how could he be an old man???
——Maybe because this is not an idol drama.
——Hey, I suddenly feel that brainless, cool idol dramas are pretty good too, at least they’re not heart-wrenching to watch.

There was a lot of complaints in the comments, but the plot inevitably came to the point where Li Qianqian entered the general's mansion:
"General Song is smart and cautious. He realized in the brothel that Li Qianqian's performance was specially performed for him. I don't know who is behind this.
The more capable a man is, the more he likes women like delicate flowers.
General Song thought that once he caught the person behind the scheme, he would happily accept this delicate flower specially prepared for him.
The woman crouched at his feet and looked up at him, which was exactly what he wanted. She was just a delicate flower, without a person to pull her strings, she could only rely on him and could not cause any trouble.
General Song had a good idea, but he waited for a long time for no one to make a move. One day after the court session, he couldn't help but have a few words with his colleague who had been drinking with him that day.
"Well, you may not understand since you don't often go to brothels. With a girl of that appearance, Baihua Tower must want to rely on her to become famous." This gentleman did not come out of the private room that day, and actually had not seen Li Qianqian, but after sleeping with Hua Niang and coming out, he also heard that a new beauty had come to Baihua Tower.
"A beauty like this should be shown in front of everyone and her reputation should be spread first. Once her reputation is spread, everyone will know that there is a beauty in Baihua Tower but no one can see her. This will arouse everyone's interest and it will be time to auction off her virginity." Lord Wang said this and winked at General Song: "It's all a trick, just to sell it at a high price."
"Am I overthinking this? Is this a trap?" General Song thought to himself.
In fact, he had not been idle these days, and sent people out to keep an eye on the brothel. The woman had indeed been locked in the backyard, and had not seen anyone except the brothel madam and the person who brought her food.
Maybe he was being overly cautious, or maybe she really was just a flower girl.
General Song asked someone to investigate the woman named Qingtian and learned that she had previously trusted a quack doctor and her appearance had been ruined. She could only work as a maid for the madam of Baihua Tower and was called an ugly girl.
Perhaps it was because of time that the drug that caused her skin to become purple had fallen off, revealing her true appearance. Seeing her beauty, the madam wanted to let her hang out to receive customers. The woman was unwilling and wanted to escape, which led to what happened that day.
It didn't seem like there were any flaws, but General Song was suspicious and decided to wait and see.
He didn't know that Yu Mo had no time to take care of him.
Of course, she would not let Qianqian take risks for her, so she locked Qianqian in the backyard. However, Qianqian had already shown her face in front of everyone, and the prostitutes, maids, and some regular customers in the brothel who lived with Qianqian every day discovered that this beautiful woman was the ugly girl beside her.
In order to avoid suspicion, Yu Mo could only lie to everyone, saying that the medicine on Qingtian's face had fallen off. She thought it was a pity for her to be a maid because she was so beautiful, so she planned to give her a chance to welcome guests, but she didn't expect that the girl was unwilling. So she locked her up for a while to let her face the reality.
This is what she said to the public, but actually she had already arranged it. When the Ninth Prince's people arrived in the capital, they would auction Qingtian's virginity according to the procedure. They would let the prince's people pretend to be very satisfied with Qingtian, spend a lot of money to buy her away, and let Qianqian escape from the capital and go to the prince's fiefdom.
In order to prevent Qianqian from going to find General Song, she had to be locked up temporarily.
Yu Mo had already arranged the procedure for sending Qianqian out of Beijing. Although General Song had "find out" Qingtian's identity and background, he was very suspicious. Although he was thinking about that delicate flower, he did not take any action.
General Song didn't rush to Baihua Tower until the latter was really going to auction Qingtian's virginity.
General Song was a cautious person. He observed the area for a long time and found nothing unusual. He then put aside his suspicions and entered Baihua Tower.
He arrived too late. The auction was already coming to an end and the price had reached 230 taels. Fewer and fewer people were bidding and the excitement at the beginning was gone.
After the price reached 300 taels, no one raised the price for a long time. General Song stood in the crowd and was about to speak, but someone beat him to it: "2000 taels, I will redeem this girl."
Redemption?
Whose master is this? He is so wealthy.
Madam Qingtian is about to be redeemed as soon as she shows up?
The crowd, which had gradually quieted down, became lively again. Those who were watching the fun sighed that Miss Qingtian was lucky, those who offered to bid for her virginity hated themselves for not having enough money, and those who were waiting for the price to drop after the virginity secretly hated these wealthy people who didn't know the rules. They agreed to bid for her virginity but wanted to just take her away.
"2000 taels?"
The Ninth Prince's men were defeated, and Yu Mo pretended to be greedy for money and quickly said, "If there is no one who bids higher, then our Miss Qingtian will..."
"3000 taels!"
The man's voice was full of energy, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice. Yu Mo was shocked to see General Song, and did not speak for a while. Li Qianqian, who was standing above, had her eyes lit up, and there was hope for the Yu family's grievances.
All of this was seen by General Song. He thought that Mother Yu was shocked by the 3000 taels and did not take it seriously. But the delicate flower's eyes sparkled when she saw him. It turned out that she really had feelings for him.
General Song couldn't help but feel proud that his majestic and elegant demeanor was still as great as before and that he could still charm the little girl.
Yu Mo was panic-stricken. He looked at the Ninth Prince's confidant and urged him to raise the price with his eyes.
The Ninth Prince's confidant had his own ideas when he saw General Song. If he could arrange for his own people to work in the general's mansion, it would be much more valuable than bringing them back to the fiefdom.
Yu Mo looked at his expression and knew that he would not speak anymore. She staggered and almost fell. The maid beside her helped her to stand steady.
"Why, did Mother Yu suddenly get 3000 taels? Are you so surprised that you can't stand?"
"Mother Yu, why don't you announce the result quickly? The price is so high, if you don't announce it now, the master might regret it later~haha~~"
The people below teased and urged him, and Yu Mo had no choice but to add, "Is there anyone who offers a higher price? If not, then our Miss Qingtian will follow this gentleman."
Yu Mo tried hard not to lose his composure on the spot, but he was unable to stop it.
Li Qianqian entered the general's mansion like this.
General Song is sensitive and suspicious, and Yu Mo told her that there are secret guards in the general's mansion. Li Qianqian does not know martial arts, and does not know where the secret guards are hiding. She cannot walk around in the general's mansion, and she dare not steal the information in the general's study.
For three whole months, she had made no progress at all. Li Qianqian even dragged the general to mess around in the study just to see some content that she could not see on a normal day.
The little girl was good at playing with flowers and flirting with people. While General Song enjoyed it, he also felt a little overwhelmed, and the number of times he came to see Li Qianqian gradually decreased.
Li Qianqian thought that he had lost interest in the novelty of the subject and was worried that she would fall out of favor and would not be able to find out anything. So she gritted her teeth and took advantage of the general drinking some wine to give him a drug that had an aphrodisiac effect and could be used to trick the general into revealing information.
That night, she finally learned the truth about the downfall of the Yu family, but she almost became the general's death.
Li Qianqian originally thought that the general was drunk and would not notice anything wrong. Little did she know that General Song knew his alcohol tolerance and would never get really drunk. Although he was drugged and did not remember being tricked, he could still sense something was wrong.
As soon as he woke up, he grabbed Li Qianqian's neck and asked, "How dare you drug me?"
Li Qianqian was strangled and had difficulty breathing. Her consciousness gradually began to fade. Just when she thought she was going to die, the big hand on her neck finally loosened its grip. "Tell me, who sent you here, and what is your purpose?"
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Li Qianqian kept coughing and breathing heavily. There was a hint of rouge at the corners of her eyes. Her throat seemed to be a little uncomfortable. She sobbed and cried, "I, I, General, how can you be so cruel... Isn't it just something to liven up the mood? Why do you have to do this, wuwuwu... Since you have despised me to this extent, why don't you just kill me, wuwuwu..."
After all, having stayed in the brothel for so long, Qianqian knew very well how to arouse men's pity. She bit the corner of the quilt and sobbed quietly, acting weak and innocent.
Things to enjoy? Considering Qingtian's background, it's not surprising that she has those things. Today he was indeed more excited than before, but was he excited to the point of fainting?
General Song was still a little skeptical, and his tone was still cold: "How did you give me the drug?"
"It's just that you mixed some in the incense burner, what can I do? You never leave food for me." At the end of the sentence, there was a hint of grievance and complaint in her tone: "After all, I'm just a concubine, different from a legitimate wife. It's fine if you don't eat at my place, but you're like this, like this, wuwuwu..."
As he spoke, he began to sob again. The general had a headache because of his crying. He thought about how he had been coming less often recently because he was unable to do his best. This little troublemaker must have heard that he had been eating in the main courtyard these days, and she was jealous and did this.
General Song roughly figured out what was going on, but he was always cautious and called the court doctor to come and check it out.
The court doctor came over and took some of the unburned incense from the incense burner into his hand, looked at it carefully and sniffed it, then bowed and replied: "Your Highness, this should be added with Baihualou's special aphrodisiac, Chan Sheng Jiao. After using it, people's body will heat up and their minds will be excited, producing a psychedelic and pleasant feeling."
"Will this medicine make people faint?" Although the court physician had already explained that there were only aphrodisiacs in the incense burner and nothing else, General Song still felt that something was not right.
"General, under normal circumstances, the trembling voice only serves to add to the fun. However..."
"But what?"
"General, this Shan Sheng Jiao has obvious effects. Normally, just a little bit of it mixed in the incense is enough. However, this incense burner is almost full of Shan Sheng Jiao powder. With such a large dose, people will be extremely excited and fainting is reasonable. If the general feels unwell..."
"What? Just a little bit is enough?"
Li Qianqian exclaimed, interrupting the doctor, "Then I added a whole packet, wouldn't it be..."
Meeting the general's gaze, Li Qianqian stepped forward to hug the general's arm, saying in a tender voice, "No wonder the general is so powerful tonight. I can't stand it..."
"You..." After all, you came from a brothel, and you dare to say such lewd words in front of others.
However, although it is a bit dissolute, it is indeed attractive.
The general was secretly pleased. He waved his hand to let the court doctor go, and raised his hand to touch Qingtian's nose, "You have no shame."
Li Qianqian shrank back, looking embarrassed, but relieved in her heart. Fortunately, she stopped him and did not let the court doctor examine the general.
Although there was only aphrodisiac in the incense burner, the general had more than that. As long as tonight passed, the effect of the drug would completely dissipate, and then it would be completely safe.

——I don't understand? Li Qianqian drugged me, right? There was only aphrodisiac in the incense burner, so where did the drug that can cause hallucinations and make people forget about it later go?
——【evil smile.jpg.】Hehehehehehe......
——Oh~ I get it. Hehehehe......
——? ? ? No, what are you all laughing about? How did you get the medicine? I didn’t see you drinking tea or eating snacks or anything like that? Where did you get the medicine?
——Ahem, snacks. [shy face.jpg.]
——Dim sum? Did I miss something? Didn’t I see you eating dim sum?
——Hey, I'll be a good person. Those who don't understand should recall carefully that Li Qianqian held the medicine bottle and touched her lips with her finger. She must have been worried that she would accidentally swallow the medicine, so she didn't choose her lips. Then her finger slid down. Where did it stop?
——Chest～【dumb.jpg.】【surprised.jpg.】【suddenly understood.jpg.】【swallowing saliva.jpg.】So～, that part was hinting... hehehehehehe...
——【Little face turns yellow.jpg.】It’s over, there is a picture in my mind. Hehehehehe......
