Chapter 394: The Dirty Reality
that Qin Luo'yan was very surprised. He only said: "Don't forget what you just said."" What did she just say ""You forgot" Fu Zimo's face darkened as if he had seen through her thoughts. He reached...Some people can get to high positions at a young age for a reason.
Compared to someone like Yin Qi and Fu Zimo, Qin Luo'yan felt like she was looking at the most powerful brain. While others were struggling with the questions, her "pig brain" couldn't even understand them. She remembered being in their dorm, watching this variety show with several other elite weapons manufacturing students, and feeling completely defeated.
And this feeling, she didn't expect to experience it again after she traveled to this world.
"What's on your mind" Yin Qi asked softly, seeing her lost in thought.
Qin Luo's smoke corners of the mouth a pull, shook his head, said a voice, "Nothing." She was how, clearly already and that person no longer any entanglement, why would always remember him Is it so easily forget his ruthlessness And Xiao Fan's death...
Perhaps she will never cross this hurdle in her life.
Yin Qi patted her shoulder and walked into the room first.
As expected, the guards were unfamiliar with such tasks as renting out rooms. The bedding in the guest room was complete, and even the table had been wiped clean.
Yin Qi took out his firestarter and lit the candles in the room. After carefully inspecting the room, he removed his long robe and laid it on the bed before saying, "The bedding doesn't seem to have been washed; it was probably used by previous guests. You can rest here for now. I'll have someone find out where the owner of that strange pharmacy has been taken."
Qin Luoyan's gaze fell on the long robe on the bed, her brows unconsciously furrowed again. She said nothing, but she didn't sit on the bed either. Instead, she sat directly on the wooden stool beside the table and nodded at him.
Yin Qi's hand, a little stiff, retracted from his robe. The light in his eyes dimmed for a moment. He gave the driver a few instructions, and the driver turned and left.
The two sat silently in the room, neither speaking. Yin Qi would occasionally glance at Qin Luoyan unconsciously.
Qin Luoyan wasn't unaware of his gaze, it was just that, there was already a seed of resentment in her heart. Besides, could these small details really erase it
The coachman returned quickly. He entered the house and first looked in Yin Qi's direction. Only after Yin Qi nodded did he speak to Qin Luo'yan, saying: "There are four guards and ten or so women in this estate. The owner of that odd medicine shop is locked in a room in the east wing, guarded by three men. Our arrival precedes the young mistress of the odd medicine shop who has already found the location of the east wing room, but the three guards are very vigilant, and she hasn't had an opportunity to strike."
The coachman glanced at Qin Luoyan again, as if he still had something to say, but he hesitated because of Qin Luoyan's presence.
"It's fine, go ahead and say it." Yin Qi said with certainty again, and only then did the driver grit his teeth and speak.
“Those ten or so women… their situation isn’t good…” The driver’s cheeks flushed slightly as he spoke, clearing his throat before lowering his head. “Those guards weren’t just renting the rooms, it seems like they… they also… did business with those women.”
It was clear that the coachman was an honest man. When it came to this kind of question, he was always embarrassed.
Qin Luoyan reacted, her eyes widening in disbelief. "You mean... the flesh trade"
The coachman hadn't expected this to come from Qin Luo Yan, a woman who seemed both delicate and composed. So he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
"What a bunch of scoundrels!" Qin Luoyan's chest heaved with anger. If they were just renting out the house to make ends meet, she could understand, but the fact that they used those women as tools for profit was unforgivable. She couldn't even bear to think about the despair those women must have felt.
Once they entered the palace, it was like plunging into a bottomless sea. Those women, who may have once been beloved daughters in prominent families, were trapped in this tragic situation. Being confined to serve one man was already a cruel fate, and when their world crumbled, they were imprisoned in this remote cage. Perhaps, even when they died, they wouldn't get to see their own family one last time. The most pitiful thing was that like a tiger fallen from grace, they were treated as objects of scorn. Several guards, driven by greed for silver, actually sold them off like women in a brothel.
This is the status of women in this society. For their entire lives, how many can truly decide their own fate
Qin Luoyan's righteous indignation flashed in the cart driver's eyes, causing a moment of surprise.
"Those guards are also from the official family. Could it be that no one up above is in charge" Qin Luoyan gritted her teeth and growled lowly.
Yin Qi sneered, seeming to mock her naiveté. "Who would care Not even the person sitting at the highest position in Man Country cares, let alone takes notice. Who below would be so foolish as to interfere Besides, the emperor of Man Country, with his tarnished reputation, wouldn't dare lay a hand on these powerless women. However, it's hard to guarantee that no one would do something dirty to please the emperor, such as making these women's lives miserable..."
“This… is too cruel!” Qin Luoyan didn't know how to express the anger in her heart. The reality of this society always refreshed her senses again and again.
"Falling smoke…" Yin Qi softly called her name, "You're angry. If you really can't stand it, when we get the medicine from the apothecary, maybe we could burn this place down."
"Burned" Qin Luoyan looked at him suspiciously. Would someone like him really burn this place down for a stranger, offending the person in the palace of Man Country Would he cause trouble for himself If it were that simple, this place wouldn't have existed for so many years.
"For you, there's nothing I can't do."
As soon as Yin Qi uttered those words, Qin Luo Yan couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter. Her face clearly showed disbelief.
Qin Luoyan shook her head, snorted coldly, "Well, since we've found the location of the owner of that strange medicine shop, let's go find him right away."
She clearly didn't want to continue the topic, and Yin Qi could only sigh helplessly before following after her. He quickened his pace to catch up with Qin Luo Yan, grabbing her arm. "Wait," he said.
"What are you doing" Because of the inhumane torture those women had suffered, Qin Luoyan was filled with anger and unconsciously vented it onto Yin Qi. Her face grew even darker.
Yin Qi didn't mind, he just said with a hint of displeasure: "Those guards are now stationed in the east wing. Perhaps we should go to the main courtyard first."
"Are you saying we secretly released those women That doesn't sound like something Lord Yin would do, acting so recklessly." She wouldn't be foolish enough to think simply releasing the women would solve everything. The one above in Man Country might allow these people to live such miserable lives, but they absolutely wouldn't permit them to escape from here. Perhaps they even gave a legitimate reason for that person to kill those women.
