Chapter 291 Be responsible!

Chapter 291 Be responsible!

Li Xuan followed several mothers on Huajie Street all the way to the top floor of Hu Yulou.

Walking along the stairs, Li Xuan discovered that Hu Yulou was actually five stories high.

However, the area becomes smaller as you go up, and on the fifth floor, which is the top floor, there is only one room.

That is Zhou's mother's boudoir.

This is also used as an office.

Mother Zhou invited several others in.

Following along, Li Xuan also had a simple understanding of Hu Yulou's structure.

The lobby on the first floor is mainly responsible for performances and reception of individual visitors.

There are private rooms on the second floor. You can see the flower street outside the window and the stage on the first floor. The location is very good, but it is a bit open.

On the third and fourth floors, there is more privacy and the sound insulation effect is better.

There are obviously more rooms on the third floor than on the fourth floor, but from the decoration, it can be easily discovered that the fourth floor should be a place only for distinguished guests.

It wasn't too difficult for Li Xuan to follow.

He hid under the skirts of a group of mothers, followed by a burst of rouge fragrance into the room on the fifth floor.

At this point, no one has noticed that there is an extra cat in the room.

Li Xuan carefully avoided the footsteps of several mothers and shuttled under their skirts.

After entering the room, several mothers began to take their seats.

Li Xuan found a mother whose scent of makeup was not so strong, and followed her to sit down.

The only difference is that mother sat on the chair and Li Xuan sat on the ground under his mother's skirt.

This was the most convenient. Li Xuan looked up and waited to hear the conversation between them.

"Mother Zhou, tell me."

"What's going on today?"

Before the buttocks were warm, someone immediately started to criticize Zhou’s mother.

"To be honest, I don't know what the hell is going on?"

"If you think about it, you can understand that this matter tonight will not do any good for me."

"Isn't it?"

Mother Zhou said aggrievedly.

"Whether it's good for you or not, your stage exploded and your oiran disappeared."

"You can't just ask us questions, right?"

"If this is the case, we can only handle the matter in a formal manner and leave it to the government."

"You also know that Mr. Hou is still lying in your Hu Yulou. Whether he can survive tonight is unknown."

Although these mothers were troubled by the situation in front of them, none of them showed it. They spoke unhurriedly, but they were pressing enough.

If Mother Zhou can't come up with a charter today, I'm afraid the others won't agree.

When the time comes, they will unite and put all the blame on Hu Yulou.

Even if it is affected, Huajie will not be hurt.

Of course, Zhou’s mother knew how cold-blooded these people were, and when their interests were related, they would definitely distance themselves from her as soon as possible.

If it were Yi Yi, he wouldn't be able to climb into their position.

Mother Zhou now also knows that she must save herself.

"Everyone, I bought this Ayimu from the Western Regions at a huge price last month."

"According to Naya, this Ayimu is originally from the Dayue Kingdom. Because of his outstanding talent, he received special dance training since he was a child."

"It was because of Ayimu's dancing that I decided to buy her."

"To tell you the truth, my Hu Yulou business has been stagnant in the past few years. This time I spent a lot of money to win over this Ayimu and put up my Hu Yulou signboard, but this is the first time I have been an oiran. Just walking around..."

Mother Zhou began to sob as she spoke, and took out the handkerchief to cover her face.

Li Xuan exposed half of his head from under his skirt and looked at Zhou's mother with one eye.

"It doesn't look like he's lying."

And if it is true to what Zhou's mother said, the biggest victim tonight, besides the unlucky Hou San, is Zhou's mother in front of him.

But Zhou’s mother’s tears could deceive others, but not the mothers in front of her.

They are all foxes of thousands of years, what kind of fairy tale are they acting here?

No one present cared about Zhou's mother's tears, they all just frowned in thought.

One of them immediately asked: "You said that Ayimu was bought from a charlatan. What contract did you sign with her?"

Someone on the side immediately sneered and said, "What kind of contract can a slave be?"

The other mothers all looked at Zhou's mother silently.

Generally, slaves are bought under a contract of sale, and there is basically no share of the money, only some basic monthly money.

Even if she becomes an oiran, she is nothing more than a money tree, and there is no room for negotiating terms, because Ayimu's whole person belongs to Zhou's mother.

Ayimu was not from Daxing, so he was not protected by Daxing law.

Generally speaking, Daxing's contract of sale can only be signed for a maximum of forty years, and contracts with more years are invalid.

The most popular ones on the market are thirty-year contracts.

Because usually during this thirty-year period, people completely lose their value, and after thirty years it becomes a drag.

So I usually work hard during these thirty years, but I control the limits.

After all, if you die within the time limit, it will be a loss of property.

For this reason, most owners who hold the contract of sale will try their best to squeeze the value of the other party in the last few years, and they will not feel bad if it is broken.

Of course, there are also those who are tough enough to survive these thirty years.

But by the time the contract of sale expires, people have already wasted thirty years, and this life is coming to an end.

But because Ayimu was not from Daxing, he didn’t even have hope for the next thirty years.

Mother Zhou is a bit greedy, and it is possible that she will sign the contract for a lifetime.

A lifetime period, plus an astronomical redemption price, just hangs on Ayimu for the rest of his life.

If Zhou's mother signed such a contract with Ayimu, it would not be incomprehensible for Ayimu to take advantage of the chaos and run away.

In other words, it is entirely possible that Ayimu secretly planned tonight's riot in order to escape from Hu Yulou.

Faced with the gazes of several other mothers, Zhou’s mother cried even harder.

Someone immediately said coldly: "Stop pretending, and quickly find a way to capture Ayimu."

"Otherwise, you, Hu Yulou, will always be responsible for Mr. Hou's affairs."

"It's not a big deal if Hu Yulou collapses, but if Huajie is implicated, selling you a hundred times won't be enough!"

Hou San is the son of the Minister of Civil Affairs, and they all know this very well.

If Hou Sanzhen died in Huajie, their future business would be difficult.

There must be a real scapegoat to take away the anger of the Minister of Civil Affairs, and it must be taken over completely, and there must be no possibility of causing harm to others.

Now, Ayimu, the most suspicious person, is the best candidate.

Otherwise, in the end, even if Zhou's mother was pushed out, it would never be able to calm the anger of the Minister of Civil Affairs.

"Or is it that Mother Zhou wants us to find other jobs?"

These words were so sinister that even Zhou’s mother couldn’t help but shudder.

How can she be better off if she falls into the hands of these families?

I am afraid that some of the famous festivals that I have finally picked up with great pains will have to be thrown into the mud again and mixed.

And this time, there is absolutely no chance to pick it up again and clean it up.

Mother Zhou quickly put down the dry handkerchief in her hand.

"What should we do?"

"What can I do!"

Several mothers in charge on Flower Street shouted angrily in unison:

"You just hope that Mr. Hou is safe and sound and can successfully capture that Ayimu."

"Otherwise, I advise you to make preparations to return to the world as soon as possible."

After saying this, the mothers immediately prepared to leave.

Li Xuan found that the skirt covering him suddenly became shorter, exposing himself.

But fortunately he was a dark mess, and hiding under the chair, he was not so eye-catching.

Li Xuan left the mother's skirt while no one noticed, and then hid under Zhou's mother's bed and waited to see what happened.

At this time, several mothers had opened the door and were ready to leave.

Seeing this, Mother Zhou rushed to stop them.

"Are you leaving now?"

"What should I do, Mr. Hou?"

"You are not allowed to give me any advice!"

"It won't do you any good if Mr. Hou dies here!"

What Zhou's mother told was the truth, which made the other mothers even more angry.

"We have sent people to notify Mr. Hou's family a long time ago. We have also invited Dr. Fang to come for diagnosis and treatment. It is estimated that it will be here now."

"As for how to deal with the rest, it's up to you."

"We have done our best, don't block the road!"

After saying that, several mothers immediately shook off Zhou's mother's arm in front of them and left in a hurry.

Calculating the time, Mr. Hou's family should be arriving soon.

They don't want to stay here together and have fun with Zhou's mother.

Mother Zhou glared at their backs bitterly, but there was nothing she could do.

As they said, being able to help Zhou's mother do this is considered the most benevolent thing.

Seeing that no one else was seen at the stairs, Zhou's mother immediately called a few Hu Yulou's thugs and asked them to guard the door.

Then she closed the door tightly and opened a secret compartment under her desk.

There were a lot of written documents in the secret compartment, as well as a thick stack of banknotes.

"Uh, isn't she going to run away?"

Mother Zhou took out the contents of the secret compartment and packed it in a small wooden box. There was a mechanism on the wooden box. She twisted it a few times, locked the wooden box, and hid it under her pillow.

Then Zhou's mother straightened her clothes, took a few deep breaths, and restored her usual demeanor before opening the door and going out.

Li Xuan was not polite and immediately crawled out from under the bed, jumped onto Zhou's mother's bed, and swept his tail under the pillow. A small wooden box suddenly appeared in his Emperor Hong Bone Ring.

"Hey, Mom Zhou."

"It's not right for you to run away like this irresponsibly. It's better for me to keep these things for you."

Li Xuan grinned and listened to the noise outside.

The two thugs at the door were still there, so Li Xuan climbed out of the window.

No matter which floor it is on, it's all the same to him.

He jumped all the way down the window of Hu Yulou, and when he passed the fourth and third floors, he accidentally saw several live erotic scenes.

"hiss--"

"That move just now was a bit weird."

Li Xuan was about to jump to the second floor, but he couldn't help but turn around and jump up again, intending to take a closer look.
