"Madam, please speak your mind. Young Master and Madam have such a good relationship. Once Young Master is well, it's natural that we have to give you a grand wedding." After thinking about it, Xiao Hong felt that this was the only reason. Although she still had doubts in her heart that her body was in a bad condition, and would usually hug a rooster to pay respects, she had one good thing, which was that she did not want to think about it.
"He's about to be the mother of a child, how can he care if it's a wedding or not?" Little Fishy rubbed her stomach.
"Madam, I'll be leaving first if there's nothing else." It was also the first time that they had met, so she could not show too much enthusiasm. She helped Xiaoyu to go back to rest, otherwise, it would be annoying.
"Come over often if you have nothing to do." Xiaoyu did feel tired, so it was not a waste for her to stay.
Seeing that Xiao Hong had left the second door, Xiao Yu did not look for Night Nine, but went straight back to her room to lie down, rubbing her stomach and falling asleep.

Night Nine ordered the others to retreat, leaving only fifteen of them by his side.
"Fifteen, did you really say you were going to marry that girl from before?" Little Red folded them very skillfully, purposely exposing her sleeves, which had been embroidered with black butterflies. She wanted Little Red to be able to see them with just one glance.
"Yes." He did say that, and he didn't deny it.
"If that's the case, then I don't have to worry. I'm afraid that because of Princess Hua-Yang's kindness, you'll agree without hesitation." Night Nine sighed.
Even though he doted on Xiaoyu, he couldn't be happy about her, so he mixed up the two of them. He kept having the feeling that there was something else going on, so he couldn't help but ask.
There was no doubt about the feelings the prince had for his wife. The guards had secretly laughed and said that if the princess wanted his heart to eat it, he would also open his chest and dig out the heart to hand it to her. Although he did not say anything, he still did not think that the prince was actually afraid of him feeling wronged and would personally come to ask if there was anything wrong with him.
"She's not bad." Fifteen was still as lacking as ever. In truth, there really was nothing to say. He didn't even know what she was called.
"It's rare that you've finally thought it through. This is the first time our Ninth Prince's Mansion is having a wedding. It must be lively." Night Nine finally calmed down, and naturally, he wanted to properly handle this matter. Right, he would go discuss it with Fishy.
Nine Night Demon pushed her wheelchair away, slowly sitting on her bed. She stretched out her hand to pick up Little Red's clothes, stroking the black butterfly atop. Was he about to get married? Why did it feel like he was in a dream, there was no real feeling?
Xiao Hong went back to find the Brothel Keeper to ask for a ransom. Even though the brothel belonged to Yao Qingcheng, she had never cared about these trivial matters.
The old procuress looked at Xiao Hong in surprise and asked her in detail the reason. Xiao Hong knew that the old procuress cared about her and did not intend to hide it from her. The old procuress's eyes widened, she never would have thought that the one to redeem Xiao Hong would be that piece of ice.
The old procuress took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, then you can leave. Go back and live a good life, don't ever come back here again."
"Mom …" Xiao Hong's nose turned sour.
"What are you crying for? He is willing to let you be your good fortune. The girls in the tower can finally wear red wedding gowns. Quickly pack up your clothes and leave. " The bawd waved her hand like a fly.
Xiao Hong gripped the indenture contract tightly and took two deep breaths before it suddenly turned around.
"Halt." The bawd stopped her.
Xiao Hong turned around.
The old procuress's annoyed expression softened, "Don't mention your whereabouts to any other girls, and don't say goodbye to anyone. After leaving here, everything here has nothing to do with you. Even if we meet on the way, are we just strangers?"
Xiao Hong suddenly turned around and knelt on the ground. "Mom, please accept my three kowtows."
Fifteen was good to her, but she did not care about her background. She could not allow Fifteen to be shamed by her, even if she was just a maid in a brothel, so what? Living in such a dirty environment, no one would think that you were a lotus flower.
There was a girl in the building who attracted the attention of one of the sons of officials who came out of the brothel to her as a redemption, so she was known to all the girls in the brothel. The next day, the son of officials came, and she was a little confused.
Who wants to live in this fire pit? Even if it was just a strand of straw, he would still fight for it.
Xiao Hong kowtowed three times and returned to her servant room. After wrapping up her wedding dress, she left. The old procuress listened to her and only asked for money. She had nothing to lose after being sold here.
Just as they walked out of the courtyard, they met Hua Kui. "Xiao Hong, where did you go crazy today? I couldn't even find the osmanthus cake even when I got someone to buy it for me. Eh, what's in your bag?"
Hua Kui's expression changed as he grabbed Xiao Hong's bundle and untied it.
It was too late for Xiao Hong to stop her.
"Xiao Hong, what are you doing? It can't be that you don't want to think about it, right? " Hua Kui nervously held her hands. This sort of thing often happened before; whoever left with the red wedding dress would have a corpse found on the river and neck. However, most of the time, it would be a servant girl.
"I …" Xiao Hong was at a loss as to what to say in response to Hua Kui's concerned gaze. It was impossible for her to lie to someone who truly cared about her.
"No, I …"
"She's just showing it to me. I'm old and I can no longer see clearly. I want to sew some flowers onto my wedding dress. All of you have been very busy. All I can do is ask Lil 'Red to help me with the embroidery." In the end, the old procuress was still a little worried. She did not expect to see Xiao Hong say it the moment she walked in. She glared at Xiao Hong and continued speaking.
"Mom, what are you doing if you want to get married? Don't tell me you want to get married when you get old?" When Hua Kui heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief and joked with the old procuress.
"Can't I get married?" The old procuress glared at Hua Kui.
"Yes, of course. A woman like mother who is half old and still attractive is the most pleasing to people."
Hua Kui covered his mouth with his hand and yawned. He was too lazy to bicker with them. He stuffed the wedding dress into Xiao Hong's hands and returned to his room.
"Why aren't you leaving?" The old procuress said impatiently. Based on her appearance, if Xiao Hong dawdled, she would probably use the bolt to knock her out.
Xiao Hong glanced at the bawd, then turned around and left.
