Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 982: Bold Women

However, Mei Hua didn’t give her the chance to refuse, merely tightened her grip and said, "Don’t worry, if we pull off this deal, we’ll have at least ten taels of silver, enough to live on for a year or two." freēwēbnovel.com

?

Bai Junjun looked puzzled. What kind of business is this?

But afraid of exposing any flaws, she held back her words.

It wasn’t long before this question was answered.

Mei Hua quickly pulled her from the Lower Left District straight to the Lower Right District across from it.

At that time, officers were patrolling Lower Right District. Mei Hua cheerfully joked with them for a while, then led Bai Junjun in without anyone checking their registration papers.

Bai Junjun was astounded: "They don’t even check the papers?"

Thinking back to yesterday, when she and Li Wenli encountered no less than ten rounds of inspections, Bai Junjun couldn’t help feeling indignant. She couldn’t believe it, could Mei Hua somehow look more like a good citizen than they did? It made no sense!

Mei Hua shot her a sidelong glance: "That’s why you should make sure to cultivate yourself well. As long as we stay within this little patch of land, we’re the bosses here. What’s wrong with that? As good citizens, we can do a lot more."

Bai Junjun raised an eyebrow at this; Mei Hua seemed to have hidden meanings in her words.

What does she mean by saying we can do more by pretending to be decent citizens?

She couldn’t help but think of the Thousand Miles group in the Imperial Capital; could it be that Mei Hua was also part of some intelligence organization? Or perhaps all these courtesans were secretly placed here by conspirators?

Bai Junjun’s mind swirled with turbulent thoughts as she rapidly considered all possibilities, even contemplating if the mastermind behind it all was the Fifth Prince.

Yet, unexpectedly, Mei Hua brought her to a rundown widow’s home.

Back then, although this widow’s place was nearly like a beggar’s shack, it was clean, and she herself was tidily dressed, albeit in attire rather unfitting.

The colors were similar to what Mei Hua wore.

"This is Lady Miao, whom you’ve met before," Mei Hua said to Bai Junjun as she introduced Lady Miao. "This time, Lady Miao has finally figured out what she wants. It’s not too late, as long as things aren’t chaotic yet, it’s important for women to quickly find some money to secure their future."

Mei Hua’s words were charmingly seductive, resembling a madam in a brothel.

While Bai Junjun was still puzzled, Mei Hua held Lady Miao’s hand and spoke again.

"We women are naturally at a disadvantage; relying on strength won’t do, and relying on skill alone won’t suffice either. Only our beauty can be utilized. Lady Miao, you’re a smart person and know what you really want. Rest assured, once you’re with Merchant Lin, his money will be yours too. Today, I’ve brought the most enticing sister here for you to learn from; we’ll also need you to watch over things for us in the future."

Lady Miao seemed unaccustomed to this tone, simply nodded bashfully at Bai Junjun.

Now Bai Junjun finally understood what Mei Hua was up to.

So all those notions she had earlier about spies and espionage were unnecessary; Mei Hua was using her facade as a decent citizen not to do undercover work, but to secretly act as a pimp.

Fei Hua was probably an accomplice.

The two relied on orchestrating these covert deals to make private money.

Understanding this, Bai Junjun was stunned. These women were truly daring; even with Yuwen Jun’s Order of Fresh Flowers in place, they still dared to outwardly comply while secretly disobeying and taking sly actions.
