This time, when Rong Ling and Liu Wei went out, they went into two different worlds, and no one bothered them.

However, a lot of things had happened in the capital while they were gone.

First, Fu Zichen had conversed with Rong Su before choosing to leave for Qingzhou on the third day after Rong Ling had left. Liu Mo originally wanted to go with him, but after thinking about how the brainwashing pearl had not been completed yet, and how her sister's matter was bigger than Fu Zichen's, he decided to stay behind.

Due to the Imperial court's ruckus, many people were arguing outside. However, the people in the yard did whatever they were told to do.

Ji Nanzheng had recently fallen in love with walking. Every day after dinner, he would lead his wife along the moat.

Xiaoli began to teach Ugly reading poetry, but Ugly was stupid, and didn't like to learn. Every time she read two lines, she would shout out that she was tired, and then she would lie on her brother's body and act coquettishly, unable to get up no matter how hard she tried.

After Liu Wei left, the pearl wanted to take her away, but it could not. Xiaoli said that it was sick, and had to stay at home to recuperate until it was well.

The pearl repeatedly emphasized that it was not sick, but Xiaoli refused to listen. She even gave it the medicine every day, and the pearl was about to die from anxiety. It was very sad every day, and after being saddened for a few days, it even started to shed its hair.

If Xiaoli did not let Pearl go, Pearl would be forced to see Liu Mo every day. Pearl could faintly feel that Xiaoli, Ugly and the others seemed to be plotting something bad, but because there was no evidence, she had no way to interrogate them.

Recently, Wei Chou found a way to earn money. She discovered that although the State Grandmaster's white hair was despised in their family, in the eyes of outsiders, it actually did have the effect of making immortal qi float around. Thus, one day, Wei Chou abandoned Zhong Ziyu and started to go out with the State Grandmaster.

On that day, State Grandmaster had fought with him, but not once had he been beaten up. Wei Chou even threatened to beat him up after beating him up, saying that since State Grandmaster did not sit in the booth for more than six hours every day, he would still beat him up.

If Liu Wei was not here, no one in the family could control Wei Chou. The State Grandmaster had suffered great grievances, but he still had to go and tell fortunes for others every day.

Zhong Ziyu had been arguing with Yue Dansheng recently, and this was when Liu Mo reminded Yue Dansheng. Only then did Yue Dansheng notice it, as if Zhong Ziyu had started to become ice-cold after what happened with Sun Zi that day, and had no good feelings towards anyone.

Because Yue Dansheng didn't pay much attention to Zhong Ziyu, she didn't notice for a moment that after Liu Mo reminded him, he didn't think much of it either.

Yue Dansheng thought that he had done something bad and even followed him once. In the end, he discovered that he had actually gone to visit a brothel.

After that, Zhong Ziyu became intoxicated, and the sky turned bright.

The beautiful days of strolling in the brothels lasted until half a month later. Wei Chou realized that after she finished strolling in the brothels, she actually didn't spend any money, and had even saved over two hundred taels of silver. He was so scared that she thought Zhong Ziyu had gone to sell herself.

In the end, after asking, he found out that Zhong Ziyu did not sell herself for money. He found a job in a brothel, he only needed to play a tune every day, and that would earn him 20 gold coins.

When Wei Chou went to work that night to peep at Zhong Ziyu, she discovered that she had taken out her mask and played the zither. Then, she saw that when Zhong Ziyu played the zither, the men and women below looked at him with infatuation and love.

After that day, Wei Chou became Zhong Ziyu's manager. On the second day, she was still bargaining with the old procuress, saying that twenty silvers for a song was no good, and that the neighboring brothel would sell it for forty-five silvers each.

The old procuress heard him and hurriedly said, "Fine fine, I'll give you fifty liang. Who told you to take the responsibility just because of your reputation, you have the final say."

Wei Chou achieved her objective. She would give Zhong Ziyu 40 gold coins each day.

Wei Chou even asked Zhong Ziyu why she said she would save so much money.

Zhong Ziyu did not answer, but began to record the amount of money in her little notebook, while still counting the days.

Wei Chou realized that the last day he recorded, was three months later, and it was even Yue Dansheng's birthday, so he immediately asked in disgust, "Don't tell me you want to give him the money?"

Zhong Ziyu did not make a sound, and obediently kept the money. Every day she would even start work diligently.

It was only until Wei Chou found out later that Zhong Ziyu had given him the money on the day of her birthday that she turned herself in at the yamen that night after giving Yue Dansheng this gift in the morning.

The one thousand taels of silver that he had saved up was for his brother Yue to marry and use.

Since Brother Yue had left back then to fight for him and Zhong Ming, then before he went to jail, he also wanted to leave something for Brother Yue.

Of course, that was something to be said later.

In short, during the two months that Liu Wei had been gone, the capital could be said to be in a state of splendor, and quite a few things happened in the family every day.

On the day that Rong Ling returned with Liu Wei, Liu Wei returned to the courtyard alone. It was only after she asked that she found out that Rong Ling had been captured by the imperial guards when she entered the city gates.
