Looking at the man leaning on the soft couch, Yin Luzhu took a deep breath and walked towards him step by step.
From beginning to end, Gu Tingfang's eyes always stayed on her face.
This face is exactly the same as that of Yin Luzhu, but there are some differences.
I don’t know what that person’s expression would be like if he knew there was someone who looked the same as him and was a woman from a brothel.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing.
Seeing this, Yin Luzhu's face darkened, and he felt unhappy, but he didn't show any signs of it.
Arriving in front of Gu Tingfang, Yin Luzhu suddenly knelt down. Looking at her low-to-dust posture, Gu Tingfang's expression was indifferent, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking.
Then, the woman boldly stretched out her hand to untie his belt.
Gu Tingfang was startled. He subconsciously patted the back of the hand of the person in front of him, "How reckless!"
"People's daughters know their mistakes."
She immediately put her head on the ground, her body trembling slightly.
Gu Tingfang took a deep breath, feeling very bored.
"People's daughter?" He murmured these two words in a cold voice with sarcasm, "A brothel girl is a lowly citizen, but she dares to call herself a people's daughter."
Hearing this condescending tone and the expression of all living beings like ants, Yin Luzhu's eyes suddenly turned cold.
However, she still did not get carried away.
Instead, he whispered: "The hometown of the humble slave suffered a flood. The whole village had no harvest and everyone was displaced to protect their families and children."
Her voice was exceptionally calm, but to Gu Tingfang's ears, it was like thunder, making his heart tingle slightly.
Yin Luzhu's voice continued.
"The slave originally had an older sister, but...my mother was too hungry and was still pregnant. The doctor said it was a baby boy. My father's long-cherished wish was to have a baby boy."
"In order to save my mother's life, he had no choice but to exchange my sister with someone else's house and cook and share the food."
"But even so, it was all in vain. The road to the imperial city was blocked by the government, cutting off our last way of survival. My father was really hungry, so he turned to me."
"My mother couldn't bear for me to die like this, so she took me to escape late at night. On the way, my father caught up with me. My mother was almost beaten to death by my father in order to protect me, and I also fell off the cliff."
"Fortunately, God showed mercy and the madam of Furong Tower picked me up. Seeing that I looked good, she took her into Furong Tower and taught me how to make a living."
"Today, the humble slave has dirty your eyes. From now on, I will definitely hide far away."
Gu Tingfang's chest suddenly felt tight. It felt like being cut with a dull knife. It wasn't sharp, but it made him feel a deep sense of guilt.
"Is your hometown Linan?"
In the year when he first ascended the throne, officials reported that there were severe floods in Linnan. However, unknown to anyone, some officials pretended to be peaceful. Later, Nan Xiao personally went to Linnan and solved the silverfish in the court.
Gu Tingfang stretched out her hand to help the fragile person in front of her, but she avoided it.
There was moisture in her eyes, and she said: "Your Majesty, humble slaves were once good people. If not..."
Her voice suddenly choked.
Raising her eyes, she quickly glanced at Gu Tingfang, and then quickly moved away.
Just such a look made Gu Tingfang's guilt reach its peak in an instant.
"From now on, there is no need to call yourself a cheap slave." After a while, he lowered his eyes and spoke in frustration.
After a pause, he seemed to feel that it was not enough, and then said: "If you are willing, I can help you redeem yourself."
