She knew that she had to wear it, even if she wasn't wearing it she would be forced to wear it, so she decided to just wear it, it was just a piece of skin, but she was still the same Qin Zhiruo from before. What she wanted was the pure and pure nature of her heart, which was the only thing she could keep.

"Lady, you're so beautiful."

"Put on your makeup." Ruo Ruo calmly sat down and looked at herself in the mirror. Although the silk dress was translucent, she had a tight chest and underpants, thinking back to how she was wearing shorts and a singlet while walking on the road. She seemed to be conservative now, instead of feeling sad, she might as well accept it so that she wouldn't be unhappy and end up doing what Yun Xi Ru intended.

As her finger pointed downwards, the red hair fell onto her shoulders like a waterfall. She only wanted to let the occasional drop of hair on her forehead cover her makeup and her impending misery.

Eyebrows point dai color, cheeks like peach, lips like cherry blossom, makeup up, only a room charming.

When he stood up, he was actually covered in sweat. His heart was so flustered that it was difficult to put it down …

Dusk was falling, and lanterns were being lit. Outside the window, the clamor was rising and falling, making one's heart feel as if it had been lifted into one's throat.

She didn't know how long she had been standing at the window. Her legs were slightly numb, but her gaze never left the wutong tree outside the window.

The new green tip of the leaf was so fresh and tawny, it was really pretty.

In the courtyard, the door opened and a manservant quickly ran in. When they reached the door, he said to her in the room, "Miss Zhiruo, Aunt Hong said that she will come in a quarter of an hour to pick you up and bring you to the exhibition hall. Please be prepared, Miss."

Ruo Ruo waved her hand to signal Cui Er to continue, and Cui Er said: "It's all good now."

"Alright." The manservant lifted his leg and went to reply.

Ruo Ruo's heart became even more confused. As she gently turned around, her numb body almost made her fall down. Cui Er hastily supported her, "Miss, does your heart hurt again?"

She shook her head, her chest usually hurt when she wasn't drinking the honey water, "Cui Er, give me that red cotton sweater."

"Does the girl want to wear it?"

"Yes, it's night. I'm afraid the wind will be strong. I'll wear it when I walk out later." At least it should be able to cover her half-naked body.

"Alright." Cui Er took it, and if she wore it, with this layer of fabric, at least she would feel less embarrassed.

A quarter of an hour passed by quickly. The door creaked open and Aunt Hong walked in with a smile. "Miss Zhiruo, the stage is already set up. There's almost enough people here. Let's go."

Everyone knew the rules of this business. They would wait until everyone was present before going to the girls. The longer they waited, the more interested they would be in the men so that they could bid a good price.

Ruo Ruo indifferently gave her hand to Cui Er, "Let's go."

Holding onto Cui Er's hand, he walked along the stone path leading from the room to the booth. On both sides of the road, there were servants guarding her. Otherwise, both sides of the road would be filled with dark men, all staring at her.

At this point, the human voices were even louder.

When she looked through the curtains at the front of the pavilion, she drew in a breath of cold air. There were so many people, so many people that even the Fragrant Pavilion was packed to the brim with people.

"Miss Ruo, those people had to pay five hundred taels of silver in order to enter. Look, look, the business of the Fragrant Pavilion is really good today." Aunt Hong proudly looked down the stage. She wished that the Fragrant Pavilion would be bigger at this moment, and that more people would be able to squeeze in and allow her silver taels to flow in like water.

"Aunt Hong, I have a condition." It's about to begin, Ruo Ruo suddenly said.

She wisely chose the best time to negotiate with Aunt Hong. It was too early to say that Aunt Hong was not afraid that she would have the time to deal with her. It was too late to say that, when she was on stage, there was no use talking about it, but at the moment when Aunt Hong was on stage, if she disagreed, she would not go onstage to save the situation. Today, she had spent a lot of time to announce the price she had to pay at the Exhibition Platform.

Aunt Hong's expression immediately changed, and she inwardly sighed at Qin Zhiruo's intelligence. Even if she drugged Qin Zhiruo to make him come on stage, it would be too late, because time was almost up. This girl had long predicted everything and didn't even have the time to prepare the knockout drugs for her.

"I don't care what that man looks like. I want him to be the same age as me. I want him to have a rich background, and I want him to want me for at least a year." Ruo Ruo spoke softly. Although the latter two were a bit difficult, the man she had to give up had to have this sort of status. That was why she was willing to give him her woman's first time; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to escape.

Thinking about the secret techniques that the mama of the Fragrant Pavilion had taught her in the past few days, Ruo Ruo couldn't help but blush. If she really met such a man and tried her best to use her knowledge, she didn't know if she would be able to do it.

But for her mother's sake, she had to live well. She had to take revenge, to avenge Yun Ru Xi for sending her into the Fragrance Pavilion, and to avenge Yun Ru Xi for wrongly accusing her of poisoning the emperor.

One year should be enough.

A year later, her fragmented flower could also turn into mud, returning to its original state of being only dirt, never seeking to live again.

Just one man, she wouldn't let Yun Ru Xi's wish be fulfilled and she would become a real prostitute with countless men. She was Qin Zhiruo, she wouldn't let anyone slaughter her.

"This will depend on your luck. I can't guarantee that there will be such a person below the stage." Aunt Hong shook her head. She did not dare to agree. If she did not meet such a person, how would she be able to resolve this matter?

"If we don't meet today, then we'll change it to tomorrow. If we don't meet tomorrow, then we'll continue to meet the next day, and if we do meet until then, at that time, Ruoruo will not disappoint us, and will only allow the white and beautiful silver to flow to our Fragrant Pavilion, in any case, every ticket will be 500 taels of silver per day. Aunt Hong will only earn money and won't lose anything, maybe the more I get the more expensive it is."

She was a weak woman, and she was in a prison. Only in this way would she be able to let the distinguished person cover her body, at least for the time being so that she would not be bullied by thousands of people. At least, she would have time to plan on how to take revenge.

Whether her reputation was good or bad, she had already stopped caring about it from the moment Yun Ru Xi had sent her to the Fragrant Pavilion.
