Chapter 110: Let Her Go

Zi Yan touched her belly gently. “Doctor, is my child alright?”

The doctor looked at the bawd and said slowly, “Your child is fine.”

Zi Yan was relieved. She wore more clothes now and didn’t wear makeup. She was also very careful with what she ate.

Which woman did not want to be a mother?

When they became prostitutes, they were stripped off the right to be a mother. But now God blessed her with a child and she wanted to do her best to be a mother.

The bawd dismissed everyone, leaving only Zi Yan and her in the room.

She sighed. “I didn’t expect that you were really pregnant.”

Zi Yan knelt down and grabbed the bawd’s sleeve. “Please let me go.”

The bawd sighed. “If I let you go, will Master Tang want you?”

These girls were just too young and couldn’t see their identities clearly. They always had fantasies about love.

In fact, those men who came to the brothel to have fun never took them seriously.

But these girls did not understand.

At the mention of Tang Song, Zi Yan’s expression was gentle. “I’ve already told him about it. He wants to take me and the child away as long as you let me go.”

Seeing Zi Yan like this, the bawd was angry and helpless.

Zi Yan continued to beg. “I will definitely give birth to this child. After I give birth, the customers won’t like me anymore. Please let me go.”

The bawd sighed. “Let me think. You have a death contract. It’ll cost a lot to free yourself.”

Zi Yan quickly said, “As long as you don’t make things difficult for me, I’ll pay you.”

The bawd did not speak. After a while, she said, “Let me think about it. I’ll give you an answer in two days.”

The brothel had already lost a courtesan. If she lost another one, her business would definitely shrink.

Looking at Zi Yan, she felt a little sad.

The bawd left. Although she had yet to give a clear answer, she already had an answer in her heart. She just didn’t say it out loud.

Yes, she was greedy for money, but she also had a soft spot in her heart.

For women like them, having a child was very rare.

It was a miracle that Zi Yan could get pregnant after taking that kind of contraceptive pills. The bawd sighed. This was probably fate. If Zi Yan was fated to get pregnant, what right did she have to keep her in the brothel?

However, before that, she still had to keep Zi Yan for a period of time. It was not easy to nurture a courtesan. She wanted Zi Yan to teach the other girls what she knew

At dawn, the bawd gave Zi Yan an answer.

Zi Yan cried tears of joy and touched her stomach in relief.

She did not have to receive any customers. She just had to stay for another three months to teach the other girls. she was happy that the bawd didn’t make things difficult for her.

A death contract was not a life contract. If the bawd said no, there was nothing Zi Yan could do. Even if she went to the government, it would be useless.

The bawd was kind, and Zi Yan was grateful to her from the bottom of her heart.

When the news of Zi Yan’s pregnancy spread, the girls in the brothel were extremely envious.

Yu Zhenzhen was also a little envious. She suddenly understood. “No wonder she refused to believe what Miss Liu said. She’s actually pregnant.”

Yu Zhenzhen remembered what Liu Sanniang had mentioned and was a little worried.

However, since there were so many constables in the brothel, nothing could possibly go wrong.

The rest of the girls were envious of Zi Yan.

After entering the brothel, they were stripped of their right to be a mother. However, Zi Yan was pregnant. Who wouldn’t be envious of her?

Su Miaomiao was jealous too.

However, just like Yu Zhenzhen, Su Miaomiao was also as worried.

Liu Sanniang was a master hired by the government office, so her mind-reading must be accurate.

The news of Zi Yan’s pregnancy quickly spread to the government office. Even Wei Shilai was shocked.

He couldn’t afford to be careless. He immediately got someone to invite Liu Sanniang over.

When Liu Sanniang arrived at the government office, Wei Shilai told her, “Miss Liu, I have something to tell you. Miss Zi Yan is pregnant.”

Liu Sanniang said, “Sir, actually, they looked for me two days ago. I also know that she’s pregnant, but I saw something else. I saw that she was lying in a pool of blood.”

Wei Shilai frowned. “Are you saying she’ll die? Is it related to her pregnancy?”

Liu Sanniang shook her head. “I don’t know yet. Can we find Zi Yan’s lover?”

Wei Shilai said, “He went to the brothel yesterday and left not long after.”

“It’s an older man. In the brothel, they call him Master Tang. They say that he’s a businessman, but he doesn’t seem to be cut out for doing business. He loses money every time.”

Wei Shilai felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what.

Liu Sanniang frowned slightly. “Have you arrested that scholar?”

Wei Shilai said, “We didn’t make it. I sent people to investigate him and he ran away. There’s something wrong with that scholar. I’ve already sent people to catch him. Once they find him, they’ll bring him back.”

Usually, people who ran away when they saw an official would have a guilty conscience. If they didn’t have a guilty conscience, why would they run?

Liu Sanniang thought for a moment and said, “Sir, you have to find out who Zi Yan, Yu Zhenzhen, and Su Miaomiao’s lovers are.”

Wei Shi couldn’t help but ask. “Are they suspicious?”

Liu Sanniang shook her head. “I’m not sure yet. All of them seem to have found the lover they wanted the most.”

Wei Shilai felt even more puzzled. “If they are not suspicious, why are we looking for them?”

Shouldn’t they focus on finding Zi Yan’s lover now?

Liu Sanniang said, “The thing is that Zi Yan’s lover won’t appear again. I keep feeling that there’s something that connects these girls. I also have doubts in my heart. When we catch him, all my doubts will be resolved.”

Wei Shilai thought so too, so he did not ask further and immediately gave an order to catch the man.

During the day, the brothel was not open for business. The girls had to sleep.

Yu Zhenzhen and Su Miaomiao were a little unhappy to be woken up.

They had already decided to cut ties with their lovers. Su Miaomiao said, “He mentioned that he lives in the north of the city. We can’t go out, so we don’t know if he told us the truth.”

“If you want to find him, I’ll get the servant girl to write a letter.” Su Miaomiao was very cooperative. She actually did not want to believe what Liu Sanniang said. After all, she loved the man.

On the other hand, she also wanted to see if she had been deceived by the man. If she did not know the truth, she would always think about it and suspect what Liu Sanniang had told her. She was afraid that she would miss her dream lover.
