The little maid was a shrewd person. She knew quite well that if the fake Qiangwei was exposed, she wonât end well too. Therefore, no matter what she thought in her heart, she didnât hide anything from Lin Chujiu.
âAccording to my observations, Qiangweiâs identity is not only a secret agent of the Xue Family but also a member of Tiancang Pavilion. I just donât know whether she works for Tiancang Pavilion for real or for the Xue Family.â
âQiangwei is gorgeous and has a bold style. There are no men who are not happy with her on weekdays. There are countless benefactors in the Moon Shadow Tower. If a girl doesnât want to reveal her real identity, she has to think carefully about how to deal with people. Otherwise, a person who sings all night will suddenly think of going to the right path, that would be strange.â
âAs for Qiangweiâs personality and appearance, I wonât say much. The girl is 80% similar. If it werenât for this, I wouldnât be able to recognize you.â
Of course, the little maid didnât immediately recognize that Lin Chujiu was not Qiangwei. Apart from Lin Chujiuâs imitation, the dim lights at night were also one of the reasons.
âArenât all the girls in this building simple?â Lin Chujiu didnât believe it. She was so unlucky that she picked a double agent at random.
This probability was comparable to being choked to death by drinking water.
âAccording to my observations over the years, five out of ten girls in the building are from Tiancang Pavilion, and the remaining five are not innocent, but the Moon Shadow Tower strictly controlled the girls here. No matter how capable the girl is, she wonât be able to turn up the sky.â The little maid has stayed in this place for decades and she was not like those famous prostitutes who cannot move around.
âInteresting, which girls in this building are in contact with the imperial court?â What Lin Chujiu wanted to ask was, if there was any girl in this building who was from Xiao Wangfu. It was just, she was afraid of revealing my identity, so she didnât dare to ask directly.
But even so, the little maid strangely looked at Lin Chujiu, and couldnât help asking: âAre you related to the imperial court?â
âDo you want to know?â Lin Chujiu curled her lips into a smile. Her eyes rolled. Her eyes were deep and seductive. Her exaggerated eyeliner was lifted because of this smile. She looked passionate. Even the little maid who was a woman couldnât help being stunned. After a while, she even praised from the bottom of his heart: You are more beautiful than Miss Qiangwei. If you replace Qiangwei in this building, Iâm afraid that you will become the first oiran.
Noble and elegant but also full of charm. Such a woman was a stunner, the best in the world. Even if her appearance was slightly poor, with her unique and contradictory temperament, she can still attract the eyes of those looking for pleasure.
Lin Chujiu smiled again, casually raised the broken hair around her ears with her fingers, and looked at the little maid with a half-smile: âYou havenât answered my question, who in this building is related to the imperial court?â Does this little maid try to change the subject?
âIâŚâ The little maid glanced at Lin Chujiu, then lowered her head: âI canât tell.â It was not that she donât know, but that she canât ask.
âCanât you say it?â Lin Chujiu didnât believe it.
There was nothing in this world that cannot be said, only that there were not enough chips to buy the person who should speak.
The little maid smiled wryly: âItâs not that I canât, but I dare not. Tiancang Pavilion has eyes and ears all over the world. They know who is behind the girl in the building, but they just donât care. But it doesnât mean that they will let us do whatever we want.â
The Moon Shadow Tower was a brothel, but it was also a stronghold of Tiancang Pavilion. And there were eyeliners of various forces inside. This place looks peaceful on the surface, but it was chaotic.
âEverything has a bottom line. Although the people in Tiancang Pavilion didnât say it, we all know in our hearts that in this building, no matter who is behind our backs, we canât survive if we are not careful. As long as we have the ability, we can get any information and send it. But if we dare to kill each other and reveal the identities of the other girls in the building, we will never live until tomorrow.â
If it werenât for this, the Moon Shadow Tower wouldnât exist until today. It would have collapsed because of the girls in the building asking and revealing each otherâs identities and fighting with each other.
Lin Chujiu nodded: âIf thatâs the case, I wonât embarrass you anymore. You can go. Iâll come to you if I have something to do.â She canât find a way to inform the Jinwuwei Army about Xiao Tianyaoâs situation, and she couldnât inquire about the people in the court. Lin Chujiu had no choice but to give up.
The little maid couldnât wait to get up, but before she left, she still told her: âPlease be careful, girl. Every girl in this building is not simple, you better find a reason to avoid going out of this room, so as not to be seen through.â In this building, there was not a simple girl. Even the female servant who sweeps the floor may be a spy sent by some force.
âThank you for reminding me.â Of course, Lin Chujiu knew that her identity would not be concealed for long. A fake was a fake. No matter how she resembles the original, she was a fake. The more time passes, the more flaws will be exposed. If possible, she also wants to get out of here as soon as possible, but⌠she canât do it!
After the little maid left, Lin Chujiu sat on the chair blankly in a daze.
The Moon Shadow Tower was not a safe place, but the outside was more dangerous. As long as she walks out of here, her identity will be exposed.
âItâs impossible to stay, and itâs impossible to leave. The capital is huge, but it doesnât even have a good place to hide.â Thinking of her current situation, Lin Chujiu couldnât help but sigh and lie on the table. At dawn, she used the table as a bed and fell asleep.
At the same time, it took three days and two nights for the imperial army sent by the emperor to finally search for Xiao Wangfu. The gold, silver, jewels, antique calligraphy, and paintings, that Xiao Tianyao had acquired in these years of fighting, and Lin Chujiuâs dowry were all taken away by the imperial army. They pulled back everything to the palace one by one.
Who knows whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the axle of the carriage pulling them suddenly broke on the way.
One box after another, one cart after another. fell Who knows if the quality of the carriages brought by the Imperial Army was faulty, or if there were just too many treasures in Xiao Wangfu, but all the carriages broke along the way. All the boxes on the carriage were smashed open, and all the pearls and gold inside were thrown out.
Early in the morning, there were already many people on the street. Although no one dared to approach because of the Imperial Armyâs presence, the glittering jewels and gold on the ground could be seen clearly by the nearby citizens.
âGold, a lot of gold!â
âCome on, come and see, there is a lot of gold.â
âGold, the gold spread when the carriage broke. My mother, how much gold is this?â
âLookâŚthe road is crushed, my dear, how much gold is this?â
From ancient times to the present, it was peopleâs nature to like to join in the fun. When they see gold and jewelry on the roadside, although they know that they canât pick it up or grab it, they still canât stop enjoying it.
But in the same way, apart from wanting to join in the fun, hating the rich was also the nature of ordinary poor people. With so much gold, silver, and jewelry directly exposed in front of them, how many people can calm their hearts?
