Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 210 Mutual Trust

The little girl was finally relieved, smiling happily, letting go of her arms, and hugging the man's strong waist instead, blinking her eyes slyly.

"Hehe, I knew you cared about me the most and couldn't bear to hit me."

The little head arched desperately into the man's arms, and the slender arms wrapped around the man's waist and abdomen, and the little hands kept moving up and down there. It seemed that she felt that her waist circumference was smaller than a few days ago, and said with a distressed look on her face, "Your waist has become thinner. Have you not eaten well these days?"

Tang Jingchen put his arms around the little girl's thin shoulders and sighed. She had also lost weight.

"I can't eat or sleep. All I can think about is your heartless words."

Xiao Guoer buried her head deeper in guilt, and her muffled voice caused the man's chest to tremble, "I'm sorry!"

Tang Jingchen felt itchy in his heart. The panic and anxiety he had felt in the past few days finally disappeared at this moment. Instead, he was filled with a sense of happiness that was even more full and sour after regaining what he had lost.

"No matter when, you must believe that you are the only one in my heart!"

Xiao Guoer finally raised her head from his arms and nodded seriously, "From now on, we must trust each other! No matter what others say or do, as long as we don't doubt ourselves, no one can break us up!"

After experiencing this setback, the relationship between the two seems to have become even stronger.

Tang Jingchen looked at the little girl in his arms, her bright and sparkling eyes, and could no longer bear the pain of missing her, so he lowered his head.

When their soft lips touched each other after many days, they both couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction from the depths of their souls.

Shun'er had already stepped away when the two were hugging each other, considerately leaving them some private space for them to be alone.

Shun'er was walking back to his servant's room, his steps were brisk for the first time in the past few days. The young master had finally come to an end, and he had finally ended his days of hard work. Tonight he was going to soak his feet in hot water to relieve his fatigue!

Zhao Yunrong returned to his own yard, walking very quickly along the way. Now that there was no one else around, he no longer had the mood to maintain the disguise on his face, and his gloomy expression seemed to freeze.

Shen Jing followed behind him, secretly frightened. The prince rarely showed such an obviously gloomy expression. Even his usually calm and unhurried steps were messy, which showed how bad his mood was.

Alas, although Xiao Guo'er is different from others, she is just a woman, and a woman who has someone she loves. Why would Your Highness go to so much trouble to separate the two of them and do such a... beneath-your-guest thing?

Now that he has failed, he is still so... frustrated!

Women are such a scourge!

The prince, who had always been wise and intelligent, actually lost his mind because of a woman. If someone had told him about this before, he would have sneered at it. But now that he had witnessed this scene with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel deeply worried.

Shen Jing was in a very conflicted mood. He wanted to persuade the prince to give up, saying that there are many beautiful women in the world. However, the prince's temperament was always one that would not tolerate any criticism. Even if he tried to persuade him, it might not be helpful, and he might even provoke the prince's anger...

Just when Shen Jing was struggling over whether he should speak out to comfort his prince, his prince's impatient steps suddenly stopped. Fortunately, he was agile and took a deep breath to brake, otherwise he would have really bumped into Xiao Guo'er like that!

Zhao Yunrong turned his head and faced his closest personal guard. His gloomy expression did not subside at all. He spoke in a sinister tone from his thin lips, gritting his teeth, "Send a pigeon back to the capital and ask them to investigate the Tang family."

Shen Jing was shocked. What did the prince want to do? Tang Jingchen was someone the prince could use. He could no longer hold back and asked, "What does the prince want to investigate? Doesn't the prince want to win over the Tang family? Tang Jingchen is indeed a talented person who can be of great use. The prince must not ruin the situation that he has worked so hard for so many years just because of a woman's wrong decision. I cannot just watch..."

Shen Jing's words came to an abrupt end when he was met with a cold look from Zhao Yunrong.

Zhao Yunrong snorted coldly, "What do you think I want to do? Destroy the Tang family? Destroy Tang Jingchen? Humph! In your heart, am I such a lustful person?"

Shen Jing was speechless and thought to himself, I didn't think so before, but now aren't your actions becoming more and more abnormal?

"I asked you to investigate the Tang family because I want to know everything about them so that I can control them. The Tang family controls a huge amount of wealth, which is of great use to me. I am not an ungrateful person, and I will not do anything to destroy the bridge after crossing the river. You can put your heart back in your stomach."

Shen Jing exhaled and replied, "I was overthinking. I will send a pigeon back to the capital right away."

Shen Jing, who was reassured, immediately took the order and left.

Zhao Yunrong looked at Shen Jing's gradually disappearing back, secretly calculating in his heart that this time he let Tang Jingchen find the flaw and ruin the situation, next time he would definitely make him helpless and unable to crack the situation!

Late at night, everything in the Wu Mansion was quiet. Only in the room of the Third Miss Wu was there still a candle burning, and the sound of a maid crying could be heard faintly.

"Woo, woo, woo, young lady, how could the master be so cruel? How could he hit you so hard? Isn't this going to take half of your life?"

The little maidservant shed tears of heartache while applying medicine on the bloody wounds of the young lady.

Wu Qingqing's face was as pale as death, and she felt a sneer in her heart. Now she had lost more than half her life.

Without her reputation and her marriage, her life in this mansion was already as difficult as walking on thin ice. What was waiting for her in the future was probably a hellish situation.

Wu Qingqing was right. Her father and mother were discussing her future.

Mrs. Wu's courtyard was dark. All the servants had gone back to their rooms to rest, leaving only a maid on night duty who was leaning against the outer room, nodding and dozing off.

A mixture of angry voices came from the inner room.

"I thought this damn girl Qingqing had found a good marriage, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Her reputation is completely ruined. Not only will she not be able to get married in the future, but she will also bring trouble to the reputation of our entire mansion!"

"She is a disaster! If I had known, I shouldn't have given birth to her! Now, our Wu family has lost all face!"

"Not only will I be too embarrassed to go out and face the criticism from others, but even my eldest and second sisters will not be able to hold their heads up in their husband's family! Master! Please think of a solution quickly. My eldest and second sisters are your own daughters. Can you bear to let them suffer injustice?"

Mrs. Wu lay on the bed and reached out to push the man lying next to her.
