"What… what did you say?"

Song Yilan and Song Guan exclaimed in unison.

Su Yan was even more incredulous.

Such a vicious method was no less than that of her master.

In an instant, all three of them revealed expressions of astonishment.

Su Yan’s astonishment was mixed with schadenfreude, and her eyes even revealed a hint of admiration.

Just now, she was worried that the Crown Princess would really let Song Yilan go, which would be the equivalent of releasing a tiger back into the mountains. Seeing Song Yilan's appearance, once she was released, she would probably return.

If she was let go for fear of offending Qingzhou, it would be better to kill her with one knife.

But at this moment, after listening to Yu Qingwu's words, she realized what it meant to be a living Yama (God of Death).

Compared to taking Song Yilan's life, selling her to a brothel would only make her more desperate.

At that time, even if she returned to Qingzhou alive, she, Song Yilan, would become the shame of the Qingzhou Song family.

Song Yilan had been spoiled since she was a child, which would undoubtedly make her wish she were dead.

At this time, Song Yilan seemed to realize her situation.

She looked at Yu Qingwu in horror. Because of excessive panic, she couldn't help but cry, and roared at Yu Qingwu with a strong crying voice, "You… you lowly vixen, don't you dare scare me!"

"Scare you?"

"Do I look like I'm scaring you?"

"Miss Song, not everyone in this world is your father, and not everyone will indulge you."

"Since you are biting Lü Dongbin (an idiom meaning 'to mistake good intentions for bad'), and are determined to harm and humiliate me, I naturally have to repay you well."

After saying that, Yu Qingwu immediately looked at Su Yan.

She commanded.

"Su Yan, take her down with that sack."

"Also, these few packets of *ruangu san* (muscle weakening powder) are enough for her to use for a month."

"Also, remember to silence her, otherwise the madam in the brothel will see through her identity. After a month, when she becomes a real prostitute, even if the madam knows her identity, she will never let her go in order to save her own life!"

Yu Qingwu smiled, and after saying that, she got up and sat back on the stool, handing the packets of powder to Su Yan smoothly.

Upon hearing this, Su Yan nodded immediately and went out to find a sack.

Seeing that Su Yan really went out, Song Yilan panicked. She glared at Yu Qingwu in horror, laughed angrily, and shouted at her with tears in her eyes, "Crazy! You vixen, you're crazy! You're crazy!"

"Miss Song, it won't be me who's crazy, it will only be you."

The calm and cold voice echoed in the air. Yu Qingwu stuffed their mouths and turned to leave.

Song Yilan and Song Guan had taken *ruangu san*, so she was not worried that they would escape.

After wasting so much time talking to them, she was a little thirsty and hungry.

By the way, there was something to tell Su Yan alone.

Sitting in the hall, she asked for tea and food. After a short while, she saw Su Yan return.

"Su Yan," Yu Qingwu called her.

Hearing this, Su Yan was stunned for a moment, then walked towards her.

Looking around, she whispered to Yu Qingwu, "Madam, is there anything you need to tell your subordinate alone?"

Heh, after all, she was someone Xie Jin'an cultivated. She was very敏锐 (mǐnruì – sharp) and knew how to read faces.

Yu Qingwu glanced at her with a smile and didn't waste any more words.

While holding the tea and going up the stairs, she whispered to her, "Su Yan, that Song Yilan is, after all, the daughter of the Song family. Besides, she is just ignorant and reckless. Just scare her, there's no need to make anything happen."

"If something happens, it will be difficult to explain to the imperial court and Qingzhou. Besides, doing so is a bit too immoral."

Yes, although she wanted to teach Song Yilan a lesson, she couldn't make anything happen.

If that were the case, it would not only be immoral, but it would also really fall into Shen Ke and Qin Yiliu's trap.

Su Yan was a smart person, and after hearing Yu Qingwu's words, she immediately understood.

She nodded slightly and walked upstairs.

After a short while, she carried Song Yilan in a sack and left over the wall.

The direction she was going was the most famous brothel in Quxian.

When Yu Qingwu returned to the room, only Song Guan was left.

To prevent him from calling for help from outsiders, Su Yan had specially stuffed him into the corner of the guest room before leaving.

Song Guan watched Song Yilan being taken away by Su Yan, and was now anxious.

When he saw Yu Qingwu enter, he kept呜呜 (wū wū – whimpering).

Yu Qingwu closed the door, glanced at him lightly, and went forward to take off the rag stuffed in his mouth.

As soon as the rag was pulled off his mouth, Song Guan opened his mouth anxiously.

"You… where did you take my third younger sister?"

"I'm telling you, if you harm my third younger sister like this, don't expect me to cooperate with you!"

Song Guan gritted his teeth, with obvious anxiety and irritability in his eyes, and his expression no longer had the gentleness he had when he was persuading Song Yilan just now.

It could be seen that he was really worried about Song Yilan.

Rather than just thinking that Song Yilan was Song Yan's most beloved youngest daughter, and even less because he was afraid that he would be punished if something happened to Song Yilan.

This was a bit strange. Just now, Song Yilan's attitude towards Song Guan was really bad, almost bossing him around.

But this Song Guan was particularly protective of her.

Yu Qingwu narrowed her eyes slightly and couldn't help but be curious. She asked him with a smile, "Young Master Song, are you very concerned about Miss Song?"

"Nonsense, she's my sister, of course I'm concerned about her."

Song Guan replied very irritably. After saying that, he questioned Yu Qingwu again, and said sharply, "You poisonous woman, where did you take my sister?"

"Poisonous woman?"

Yu Qingwu curled her lips and repeated it meaningfully.

She smiled and looked at Song Guan, and said calmly, "Young Master Song, I just saw that Miss Song was almost bossing you around, not treating you like a brother at all, but completely treating you like a servant. She is so mean, why are you still so concerned about her?"

"Could it be that you are worried that if something happens to her, the Song chieftain will punish you?"

"My third younger sister is not like what you said!"

At that time, Song Guan interrupted Yu Qingwu.

He could see that the other party was deliberately trying to get information from him.

But things had reached such a point, and his humbleness had already been seen through by the woman in front of him, so there was no need for him to hide anything.

Song Guan paused and looked up at Yu Qingwu.

When mentioning Song Yilan, his eyes gradually became peaceful.

He said in a low voice, "In the eyes of others, Alan is willful and headstrong, and some even say she is vicious."

"But that's not the case at all! Alan is just a bit straightforward and indeed a bit willful, but she is never a vicious person."

"Back then, if she hadn't pleaded with my father to let me be her guard, my life and my mother's life would have probably been lost in that fire."

"Everyone says that I have a low status and that I am a jinx. Brothers, sisters, and even servants dare to say cold words to me, only Alan, she and she alone allowed my mother and me to have a place in Qingzhou ever since."
