I just want to live a good life

Chapter 332: Riding in a Sedan

Zhao Zong didn't say anything, he just took Su Nuan back to the original room.

The first thing Su Nuan saw was a bloody red chest of Qin'er, who was wearing the clothes of a servant in the Prince's Mansion. She was stunned for a moment before running over to feel Qin'er's breath. After confirming that she was dead, she murmured, "Who are they?"

"I don't know who it is, I just know that this is what will happen to you if you fall into their hands."

Zhao Zong's cold voice rang in her ears. Su Nuan felt her hair stand on end and couldn't help feeling a little scared. If she hadn't heard the conversation between the two strange men just now, she would have taken the risk of making some noise and exposing her position.

"You'd better do as I say next, otherwise none of us will survive tonight."

Su Nuan nodded subconsciously. Although it was dangerous here with Zhao Zong, she would not die. Moreover, the lives of several people were tied together. Naturally, she would choose to be obedient and save her life first.

But Miss Qin'er lost her life just like that. Just because she had a similar figure and skin color to him, she was chosen by Zhao Zong as a scapegoat. This meant that he indirectly caused her life. Su Nuan felt guilty and didn't know what to do with Qin'er's body.

Zhao Zong moved the knife in his hand, motioning Su Nuan to follow him. Su Nuan looked at Qin'er's body again, said sorry in her heart, and swore in her heart that she would find a way to avenge Qin'er after she escaped.

Several people returned to the small house opposite and hid.

Zhao Zong threw her to Lao Liu again and turned around and left the room.

"Where did he go?"

After waiting for a while and not seeing Zhao Zong coming back, Su Nuan asked Lao Liu nervously.

"Brother should be looking for a way out."

"Are you sure he didn't run away on his own?"

"No, brother, how could I do such a thing?"

Su Nuan was a little worried. In her opinion, Zhao Zong's character was unreliable, and it was not impossible that he would run away when disaster struck. However, due to Lao Liu's trust in Zhao Zong, she did not say aloud her doubts.

While waiting for Zhao Zong, Su Nuan reviewed the whole incident.

Now there are two forces against her. One is Zhao Zong and the master of five or six others. This person took her out of the palace and put her under surveillance. It is hard to say what the purpose is, but it is definitely aimed at Crown Prince Mu Yunting.

The other force was the people who had just killed Qin'er. Their purpose was clear, which was to kill her, so it was certain that they were coming for her.

Who wanted to kill her?

How did this person know that she was in the hands of Zhao Zong and others?

Could it be Chu Qi and Su Qingmo?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Su Nuan frowned.

She was familiar with these two people, but not familiar enough to understand their personalities.

Although Chu Qi is Ye Yin's junior fellow apprentice, people's hearts are hidden. Who can guarantee that fellow apprentices are of one mind? What's more, Ye Yin and her, the prince's concubine, are not of one mind.

Su Qingmo was even more difficult to say. She knew very little about this man's background. She only knew that he had traveled to many places, but she had never considered who he had made friends with or whether there was a so-called master behind him.

The most important point is that the killer's arrival was too coincidental. Su Qingmo had just run away when the killer caught up with him. Anyone would inevitably connect the two together.

But there is no point in thinking about these things now. If I can see the two of them again, I will ask them clearly. If they are really enemies, there is no need to hide it when we are facing each other with swords.

But in the current situation, I don’t know what way Zhao Zong can come up with to escape.

This is actually a test of Zhao Zong's ability. The enemies outside are hiding in the dark and watching them closely. They will be targeted as soon as they step out of the brothel. Originally, they could wait safely until dawn and sneak out among the guests, but there is a dead body in the room and they may be discovered at any time.

If the body was discovered before they left, they would not only have to face the killer in the dark, but also the thugs in the brothel and the officials in Fenglin Town.

Just when Su Nuan was racking her brains to guess how Zhao Zong would get the others out of trouble, Zhao Zong came back with a few sets of clothes in his hands, all for men, of the same color, which looked familiar to Su Nuan.

Zhao Zong distributed clothes to five or six people, and he still had a set left. Without any communication, the others started changing as soon as they got the clothes.

Fortunately, the weather was cold in this season and everyone was wearing cotton clothes inside, so changing clothes was not a big deal. They could just take off their outer clothes and change into another set.

Su Nuan stood aside and watched without feeling embarrassed.

It was not until the three of them had changed that she remembered why the clothes looked familiar. This was the "work clothes" of the thugs in Wanjin Building. The last time she came here, a group of people wearing such clothes were beaten to the ground by Ye Yin. She still remembers it clearly.

It seems that Zhao Zong wants to disguise himself as Wanjinlou's thug and get out. This is a good idea, but why is she not included?

It is Su Nuan's good habit to ask questions when in doubt. "Is there nothing for me?"

Zhao Zong glanced at her and said, "Just wear this dress."

"what?"

Su Nuan looked down at the dress that originally belonged to Qin'er. No, to be precise, it was a gauze skirt. If she hadn't been wearing a middle shirt underneath, her arms and collarbones would have been exposed.

Zhao Zong followed Su Nuan's gaze and looked at her dress, frowning.

This weird look will make you the center of attention if you go out, so why would you run?

So Zhao Zong turned around and left the room again, and this time he came back very quickly, with a cloth bag in his hand.

He threw the cloth bag to Su Nuan and asked Su Nuan to change into the clothes inside.

Su Nuan opened the cloth bag, revealing a goose yellow gauze skirt and a fox fur cloak.

Even with the fox fur cape, Su Nuan didn't want to change into the gauze skirt. First, it was cold, and second, it really couldn't be called a skirt. It was vague and everything would be seen by others, especially with a pervert beside her.

What if he took the opportunity to take advantage of me during my escape? It’s disgusting to think about it.

"I won't wear it. Get me a set of clothes like yours and I'll dress like a man. I'll be conspicuous and can't run fast if I wear this."

"Just wear it if I tell you to. There's no need for you to run. I'll let you leave in a sedan chair later."

"In a sedan?"

"Yes, Mr. Hao will take Miss Ruyan back home in a while. They will take her away in a red sedan chair. You can sit in that sedan chair."

Su Nuan heard from the girls in Wanjin Tower that when a girl in the tower was redeemed, Mother Cao would prepare a red sedan chair to send her away.

Because the girls in brothels were of low status, even if they met men who treated them better and were willing to pay money to redeem them, their best fate would be to become concubines. They would never have the day in their life when they could ride in a bridal sedan and be married into a man's house.

So on the day the girl was redeemed, Mother Cao would let her ride in a bridal sedan, as a way of marrying her off.

It is so hypocritical for a brothel owner who makes money by exploiting girls to do such a thing. Su Nuan cursed Mother Cao in her heart for a long time at that time. Now she has to rely on this hypocritical sedan to escape. It is really sad to think about it.
