Xie Fu didn't say anything, and gently lifted Du Zhiwei up. He didn't show a frown or a sad face, but gave Du Zhiwei a knowing smile.
When people are panicked, nervous, and scared, they often do not need comfort from others, but rather calm faith.
As expected, Xie Fu's knowing smile made Du Zhiwei feel at ease inexplicably. He flattened his lips and said aggrievedly: "Thank you, Mr. Xie."
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Crying can't solve the problem, Madam Du, have you cried enough?"
Gu Xianting felt that Xie Fu's words were devoid of empathy. Anyone who encountered such a thing would be frightened and panicked, and how could he remain calm and calm?
Du Zhi hummed slightly and nodded: "I won't cry anymore."
She is also a woman who has experienced hardships. She has a stronger mind than ordinary women and allows herself to calm down.
Xie Fu asked Du Zhiwei to sit down and asked Gu Xianting to pour a glass of water for Du Zhiwei.
Du Zhiwei held the cup in both hands and drank water slowly, adjusting his emotions, and his trembling hands slowly calmed down.
Xie Fu said: "Mrs. Du, let me tell you first that your son should not be in danger at the moment. With the martial arts of the man in black, it would only take a blink of an eye to kill you and your mother. It is obvious that his purpose is to kidnap you and your son."
Hearing that his son's life was not in danger, Du Zhiwei's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded.
Xie Fu smiled and said, "Maybe he wants to extort some gold and silver."
Of course, things are not that simple. Xie Fu said this just to reassure Du Zhiwei.
Du Zhiwei said: "I am broke and not rich, why are you blackmailing me?"
Gu Xianting hurriedly said: "Sister Du, don't worry, no matter how much money the other party wants, I will give it to him."
Du Zhiwei was very conscious: "Sister Ting, I can't repay you. I will sell myself to you and Master Xie as a slave for the rest of my life."
"Sister Du, what are you talking about? We are sisters Jinlan."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "Mrs. Du is still a foreigner. If you regard yourself as an outsider, then I can completely ignore this matter."
"Thank you, Mr.~~"
Du Zhiwei was so moved that she didn't know what to say. She had a rough life, and she never thought she would be lucky enough to meet the two of them in this life.
Xie Fu said: "I'm afraid the man in black tonight is targeting your mother and son. Madam Du, let me ask you, who are you?"
Gu Xianting was surprised when he heard this, but Du Zhiwei remained silent.
Xie Fu said: "I have to know your identity and origin in order to know what the other party's purpose is?"
Du Zhiwei then said: "Mr. Xie, I told you before that I come from a medical family. In fact, my father is Du Wenyan. He was the imperial doctor at that time, and he was a high-ranking medicine official."
"When I saw Madam Du, your fingers were slender and white as snow, I concluded that Madam Du, you come from a wealthy family, and you turned out to be an official lady."
Du Zhiwei saw his fingers: "Master Xie is joking, the slave family is also a miserable person."
Then she told the two of her experiences. It turned out that when she was sixteen, her father had a harem Jieyu killed for execution. This Jieyu was the emperor's favorite concubine. In anger, the emperor killed her and her family.
The men are relegated to the army, and the women are degraded to untouchables.
She also became a prostitute and worked as a prostitute in a brothel.
Xie Fu nodded. Generally, when an official's home is confiscated, the young and beautiful female relatives in the family will enter the Jiaofang Division, become official prostitutes, and become untouchables.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier so that I could write you a verdict and free you from your humble status?"
Generally, if an official prostitute wants to be a good person, she needs official approval, and the procedure is quite cumbersome. For women like Du Zhiwei, who have their names in the Jiaofang Division, they need local government approval to submit it to the Jiaofang Division, and then the Jiaofang Division will approve it.
Only by getting rid of your lowly status can you regain your freedom and become a good citizen.
For Mr. Xie, such a complicated procedure only requires one judgment, and the small Jiaofang Secretary naturally does not dare to interfere with it.
Du Zhiwei said weakly: "I escaped and I didn't dare to implicate Mr. Xie."
Xie Fu smiled lightly: "It's a trivial matter. I'll see which brothel in Daguan Country dares to cause trouble for me."
"Taiyuan Qinlou, stage name Yige."
Xie Fu exclaimed: "The name Yige sounds a bit familiar. Could it be Yige, a famous Hedong actor who is good at both dance and painting? He is especially good at landscape painting and fairy dance. A fairy dance is enough to make people fascinated."
Du Zhiwei's face turned red. He didn't expect Mr. Xie to know so much about her origins. He thought Mr. Xie was also a romantic woman.
He responded softly: "I haven't danced for a long time. In fact, I am better at playing the piano and pipa. I can play a piece of music for you, Mr. Xie."
Xie Fu said: "I just said it casually, I didn't mean it that way. Madam Du, please continue to tell me why you want to run away."
Those who become official prostitutes in a brothel have no family or relatives. Moreover, if they fail to escape, they will be tortured by cruel criminal laws. There are very few cases of escape.
Unless you are forced to do so, you will never have the desire to run away.
Like Du Zhiwei, she has become a famous brothel actress and courtesan. She enjoys a high reputation and is sought after by the powerful. There is no need to wander alone.
Xie Fu suddenly thought of something and blurted out in surprise: "Maybe..."
Du Zhiwei nodded: "I am pregnant and have to escape."
Xie Fu said in a deep voice: "Where is that man?"
"He... I don't know where he is?" Du Zhiwei said sadly and shed tears.
Du Zhiweijing did not hesitate to run away and gave birth to the child. She must have been moved by her true feelings. Xie Fu sighed and said: "Ms. Du, you are the oiran of a brothel. You should know that brothels are all for show. You lost your virginity and wealth.
You are confused."
Du Zhiwei was also told by Xie Fu that his face turned red and white. The ladies in brothels were all prostitutes who were prostitutes but not their bodies. However, she lost her virginity to someone else, which made her seem wanton. She lowered her head and said in shame, "Mr. Xie, I only had sex with him for one night."
Well, how do you know..."
"He said he loved me and would come to marry me."
Hearing this, Xie Fu was relieved, but he was an infatuated woman, "Ms. Du, if I can win your favor, this man must be extraordinary. What is his name?"
"He said his name is Chu Muzhen, from Jiangnan."
Xie Fu asked: "Where in the south of the Yangtze River are you from?"
Du Zhiwei shook his head slightly.
Xie Fu was furious: "You gave birth to someone else's child, but you don't even know where their family is."
Du Zhiwei lowered his head and said softly: "Sometimes, once you see someone, you will be forever. I have met many dignitaries, talented people and famous people, but I have never seen that kind of person, just like Sister Ting does to you."
Gu Xianting's face turned slightly red. She had only met Xie Fu at first sight, but she had been searching for him passionately for several years. If she thought about it carefully, she was also stupid. At this moment, she could understand Du Zhiwei.
Xie Fu said calmly: "I have never heard of this person. If he is a real celebrity, I must have heard of him."
Du Zhiwei said softly: "I have been looking for him in the land south of the Yangtze River for three years, and there is no news about him."
Xie Fu said angrily: "Mrs. Du, didn't you understand what I said? I'm afraid this man used a false name. How did you find him?"
