Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 598 - 600 I Agree to See the Guest

Xiaoxiao curled up into a ball, feigning an exaggerated fear, though she indeed felt somewhat afraid, "Yixiang Courtyard?"

"It’s a place where men go to find pleasure," the Madame explained.

Xiaoxiao’s eyes darted around; how could she make these people lower their guard? She wasn’t sure if her silver tongue would work this time. Typically, she should pretend to be a respectable woman and struggle while crying out loudly, which seemed more convincing.

Upon hearing the Madame’s explanation, she began to struggle against the ropes, crying and screaming, "Let me go, I want to go home."

A sinister look spread across the Madame’s face, "Let you go? You cost me fifty silver, you’ll never think of leaving in your lifetime."

"Wuu, I want to go home."

The Madame gently caressed Xiaoxiao’s face with a lewd smile, "Once you’ve served a man and tasted the pleasures, you won’t want to leave."

The thugs nearby, upon hearing the Madame’s words, began to snicker lewdly, "Hahaha!"

"..." Xiaoxiao suppressed her rage, vowing to make these people suffer once she got out.

Continuing her frantic struggle, she put on a convincing act, and her head violently collided with the Madame’s, eliciting a pained "Ouch!" from her, "You wretched girl."

She raised her hand to slap Xiaoxiao, but Xiaoxiao quickly knelt to beg for mercy, "Sister, don’t hit me, I won’t dare do it again, I agree to serve the guests."

This address of "sister" made the Madame’s heart bloom with joy; no one had called her that at her age. She lowered her hand and her attitude softened significantly, "It’s good to see you’re sensible, sister will treat you well as long as you obey."

"Yes, sister, I’ll listen to you, wuu," Xiaoxiao sobbed while speaking.

Observing Xiaoxiao, the Madame thought she really was scared, so she decided not to make it harder for her. After all, a bruised and battered girl couldn’t serve the guests, and the earlier she started, the sooner she’d earn silver.

"That’s more like it. After you bathe, sister will find you a decent man." freeωebnovēl.c૦m

The Madame signaled the thugs with a glance and they left. Then, two maids came in to attend to Xiaoxiao’s bathing. Ostensibly there to serve her, they were actually there to monitor her.

The Madame told the maids, "Make sure she looks pretty afterwards."

"Yes."

And with that, the Madame left, and Xiaoxiao’s bindings were loosened. But she couldn’t afford to let her guard down because these maids were also the Madame’s people; she continued to act as if she were in utter despair about having to serve a client soon.

The maids tended to Xiaoxiao in silence, used to such scenes, they tried to comfort her.

"Miss, I advise you to come to terms with it. There’s no leaving this place."

"Yes, miss, you’ll get used to it."

Xiaoxiao feigned ignorance and asked, "Is it really impossible to leave?"

"Have you seen the thugs at the door? No one can escape. There were others who tried to run away before, but they were all caught, beaten half to death, and still ended up having to serve clients. Good behavior means less suffering."

"..." So, attempting to escape didn’t seem viable. She sat in the bathtub, eyes closed, pondering various strategies. Right now, the only thing she could do was to try to send a message outside, to let Yang Ming and his people know she was here. What could be the best way to do that?
