Murong Chen told them where the side entrance was. Since no one from Chunxiang Pavilion was around, it would be convenient for these people to leave.
It wasn't until the entire courtyard was empty that Shi Tou recovered. He finally managed to get up from the ground and saw an empty courtyard with no one in sight.
Xu Xuan said coldly, "No need to look anymore, those people have already been released."
Shi Tou collapsed to the ground, muttering repeatedly, "It's over, it's really over now."
The group ignored the stone and left the courtyard. After walking a few steps, they ran into the madam.
Upon seeing the group, the madam said with displeasure, "Who told you to wander around like this? Didn't I have Stone teach you some manners?"
The men stared at the madam without saying a word. The madam, feeling inexplicably frightened by their stares, angrily said, "Believe it or not, I won't give you any food tonight?"
Shangguan Ying couldn't hold back any longer and lashed the madam with her whip, leaving the madam stunned.
After realizing what had happened, he stared at Shangguan Ying in disbelief, his handkerchief falling to the ground in shock. He scrambled to his feet, trembling, and asked, "You actually dared to hit me?!"
Shangguan Ying sneered and said, "I'm going to hit you."
As she spoke, to the madam's incredulous gaze, she lashed the madam with the whip again. Thinking of the young men and women she had just seen tortured beyond recognition, Shangguan Ying wished she could whip the madam to death.
The madam cried out in pain as Shangguan Ying whipped her repeatedly. At first, she still had time to curse, but in the end, all she could do was beg for mercy.
The harsher she cursed, the harder Shangguan Ying slapped her.
Shangguan Ying lashed the madam more than a dozen times, until she was almost unconscious, before she finally stopped.
After stopping, Shangguan Ying stepped forward and kicked the madam a few times, saying to the half-dead madam, "If you're not dead, say something."
The madam remained motionless. Shangguan Ying waved the whip in her hand again and said, "If you don't make a sound, I'll keep whipping you."
The madam quickly opened her eyes and said to Shangguan Ying, "Miss, I haven't done anything to offend you, have I?"
The madam's voice was filled with gritted teeth. Thinking about the stones that had brought these people here, she wanted nothing more than to beat them up. Where did he get these people from? He didn't even bother to teach them a lesson before sending them to her. Instead, she ended up getting beaten up by these people. She would definitely not let them off the hook later.
She was unaware that her end was nigh.
Shangguan Ying said, "We released the group of people you abducted before."
"What?!" The madam ignored the pain in her body and stared at Shangguan Ying in shock, her eyes bloodshot: "Say what you just said again."
Shangguan Ying smiled charmingly and said, "I'm telling you, all those people you went through so much trouble to recruit, I've released them."
The madam nearly fainted. "You, you bunch of sluts!"
"I'll make you pay the price!" The madam had barely finished speaking when Shangguan Ying lashed her with her whip again.
Shangguan Ying said, "Now, it's our turn to say this to you."
"You've done so many beastly things, how can I face all the people you've harmed if I don't teach you a lesson?"
This time, Shangguan Ying whipped the madam dozens of times until she was too weak to beg for mercy, leaving her covered in bloody welts.
The madam, who had never been treated like this before, wanted nothing more than to skin Shangguan Ying alive.
After Shangguan Ying stopped, her hands were red. If she hadn't been tired of whipping, she would have whipped the madam to death.
The madam thought these men would leave after they finished smoking, but to her surprise, they didn't leave. Instead, they headed towards the back courtyard of Chunxiang Pavilion.
They arrived at the accounting office of Chunxiang Pavilion. By the time the madam caught up with them, the group had already come out of the accounting office.
The madam's eyes were bloodshot as she watched Murong Chen, the leader, holding something in his hands—several years' worth of income from Chunxiang Pavilion.
To be honest, even Xu Xuan was a little surprised when he saw so many silver notes.
Although this amount of money is nothing to Xu Xuan, Chunxianglou is just a brothel. The fact that it has made so much money suggests that there must be a lot of shady business behind it.
The madam lunged forward to snatch the silver notes back, but before she could even get close to Murong Chen, he kicked her aside, and she immediately fainted.
Not only that, the group then found the indentures of the Chunxiang Pavilion members in the madam's room.
Many of the girls and boys at Chunxianglou were forced into prostitution. When they learned that their indentures were gone, some of them were so excited that they even cried. For so many years, it was because of this indenture that they had been forced to live a life worse than death in Chunxianglou. Now that the indentures were finally gone, they could finally be free from their constraints.
Everyone knelt down to thank Lin Shaoxu and the others. Murong Chen distributed the silver he had just taken from the accounting office to these people, saying, "Take these."
This can be considered Chunxianglou's compensation to them over the years.
Everyone thanked them again before leaving.
What the madam didn't know was that when she woke up, she would be faced with a completely deserted scene.
After the seven returned, they happened to see Chen Feng.
"Hello, teacher." They greeted Teacher Xu Xuan obediently, as if they weren't the ones who had just committed evil deeds at Chunxiang Pavilion.
Chen Feng knew what these people had done. He took a sip of tea before saying, "Have you vented your anger?"
The group of kids nodded with bright eyes. Chen Feng then looked at Murong Chen and Xu Xuan and said, "Do you remember what you forgot?"
While Xu Xuan was still wondering, Murong Chen had already realized what was happening. He froze, realizing they had forgotten today's lesson.
Xu Xuan also remembered, and laughed with Chen Feng, saying, "Weren't we going to Chunxianglou with Lin Shao and the others to cause trouble? I forgot about it."
“That’s not what I meant,” Chen Feng said. “The pain relief powder that Fei’er developed a few days ago is running low.”
Murong Chen breathed a sigh of relief. So that's what it was. Luckily, he didn't go when Xu Xuan asked him to go and do it together.
Xu Xuan continued to laugh it off: "I don't know."
However, the five people next to him mercilessly ruined the situation: "Xu Xuan, didn't you say before that you got it from your teacher's wife?"
"..." Xu Xuan looked at Chen Feng, "If I said this has nothing to do with me, would you believe me?"
Chen Feng: "Hehe, you go explain it to Fei'er."
Xu Xuan went to find He Fei with his head down. After thinking for a moment, Murong Chen also went with Xu Xuan. However, the difference was that Xu Xuan was there to apologize, while Murong Chen was there to watch Xu Xuan make a fool of himself.
After Xu Xuan and Murong Chen left, Chen Feng looked at Lin Shao and said, "Now can you tell me why you didn't study properly at the academy but instead appeared in Luoyang?"
"This one……"
