Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 256: Chapter 256 She Killed Herself_1

However, after Xiao Changyi gave the gatekeeper ten coins, An Jing said she wasn’t there to play but to see Old Mama about some matters. Only then did the gatekeeper go to inform, but still, they didn’t let An Jing and Xiao Changyi inside.

Xiao Changyi and An Jing didn’t want to enter either; just standing at the entrance, they could smell the various perfume and powdered fragrances wafting from inside, which was nauseating.

Now it was just right; standing at the entrance was more comfortable for them.

When the gatekeeper came out again, Old Mama from Fenghua Tower also appeared. She, with her face full of wrinkles, was heavily made up and flamboyant, twisting her waist and fluttering her handkerchief with a dusty aura.

”Are you two looking for me?” As soon as Old Mama came out, she sized up An Jing and Xiao Changyi, and seeing their poor peasant attire, an expression of disgust immediately showed in her eyes.

An Jing said, ”Indeed.”

”What do you want? Speak up and leave quickly; we still need to conduct business. With you two standing at our door, how do you expect us to carry on with our business?” Old Mama retorted irritably.

An Jing was not annoyed and replied with a smile, ”Did you not purchase a girl named Liu Sanya three days ago? We have come today to redeem her.”

Old Mama’s tone turned sharp and harsh at once: ”Do not bring her up to me again! I bought her, and thus she belonged to my establishment, required to entertain guests. But how wonderful, she simply chose death! That caused me a direct loss of six taels of silver! I spent six taels of silver on her!”

An Jing was stunned, completely unaware that Liu Sanya had already died.

Xiao Changyi was also taken aback.

”She’s dead?” An Jing could scarcely believe it.

”Dead!” Old Mama remained furious. ”She didn’t entertain a single customer, came here, and then just slammed her head and died on the very same day. I originally thought of discarding her at Random Burial Hill, but I wasn’t heartless enough. In the end, I had someone bury her on the hill behind here. If you want to find her, then go look for her on the hill behind. In any case, we don’t have such a person in our establishment anymore!”

With that said, Old Mama swept away, obviously very angry that Liu Sanya had just slammed her head and died.

Only then did An Jing and Xiao Changyi truly believe that Liu Sanya was indeed dead, each feeling a mixture of complicated emotions.

”Hurry up and leave, don’t block our trade,” urged the gatekeeper, wanting them to move on quickly.

With the person dead, An Jing and Xiao Changyi no longer wanted to stand at the entrance of Fenghua Tower. As they were about to turn and leave, they saw Liniang, all smiles, seeing a guest out.

The guest had arrived the previous night, spent the entire night in Liniang’s room, and now that he was leaving, Liniang saw him off, telling him to come again soon.

Liniang didn’t expect to see An Jing and Xiao Changyi; she was startled at first but then seemed to understand. As soon as she sent the guest away, she smiled at An Jing and Xiao Changyi and said, ”You two are good people, pity San Ya couldn’t wait for you before she was gone.”

Now Liniang had completely transformed into a woman of the night. An Jing hesitated before asking, ”Did Liu Sanya really kill herself by slamming her head?”

”Yes, she killed herself by slamming her head,” Liniang nodded and sighed, ”The night she was sold to the establishment, Old Mama had someone teach her how to serve men. As a virgin, she couldn’t bear it and slammed her head to death. Many people saw it; I saw it too.”

As she spoke, Liniang sighed again, then said with self-mockery, ”The days here are much better than in Jiuping Village, with meat and wine every day, and no need to work or look after children.”
