[Quick Wear] Daily Cleansing of Trash

Chapter 463 Protecting the Best Sister 5

Mother Cao was really scared.

The Great Xia Dynasty has entered the countdown to its dynastic end. Corruption is rampant, and every high-ranking official has shameful businesses under his control, but everyone sees through it but does not speak out.

The Fang family is behind Zuichunlou, so naturally some people know about this.

These senior officials all care about their reputation, and both sides have a tacit understanding to maintain peace and tranquility.

However, once this veil was lifted, the ensuing storm would definitely not be something that she, a small brothel madam, could withstand.

Mother Cao was terrified, her eyes darting around, wondering if there was someone behind Li Mingzhu, otherwise why would she skip Zhou Zhao and directly point out Fang Yan's existence.

Li Mingzhu let go of Mother Cao and kicked her: "I want Yulan's indenture!"

"Okay... I'll get it right away..." Mother Cao crawled to the second floor.

Li Mingzhu helped Zhang Rulan sit down and turned to look at Mudan.

Mudan did not intentionally frame Zhang Rulan, but when Zhang Rulan suffered for her, she did not stand up to clarify. Instead, she let Zhang Rulan be her scapegoat with peace of mind.

Mudan felt Li Mingzhu's unfriendly gaze and tried to curl up into a ball.

Li Mingzhu asked Zhang Rulan, "Sister, what did this guy say?"

Zhang Rulan was filled with hatred. If Li Mingzhu had not arrived in time, she would have been stripped naked by Zhou Niangzi and exposed to the public, while Mudan, the culprit, would have hidden herself and watched her being abused.

It was really unpleasant to be a sucker, but she couldn't kill Mudan.

Seeing Mudan's panic, Zhang Rulan finally softened her heart.

She said angrily: "Pay me money!"

"Got it!"

Li Mingzhu gave an OK sign, walked over and kicked Mudan: "Did you hear that? Pay me! Five thousand taels. If you don't have silver, use jewelry as collateral!"

Mudan was shocked when she heard this. She was already feeling guilty and did not dare to offend the vicious Li Mingzhu. She could only get up sobbing and go back to her room crying to get the silver.

Soon, the two sisters obtained Zhang Rulan's indenture contract.

Zhang Rulan looked at the thin piece of paper with her name on it and tears started to flow.

After a while, Mudan came downstairs holding a small box.

"I...this is all I have, wuwuwu..." Peony cried.

Li Mingzhu glanced at it casually, put the box in her arms, and followed Zhang Rulan back to her room to pack her things.

During this time, Xiu'er and Wuliang also came. The four of them were very quick and efficient and packed up everything in no time.

Li Mingzhu took off the red flower on Zhang Rulan's head and threw it on the ground, stomping it into mud. Then she pulled Zhang Rulan and walked out of the gate of Zuichunlou with her head held high.

Zhang Rulan got on the carriage without looking back.

However, Li Mingzhu looked back at Mother Cao who had chased after her before leaving, and gave her an ambiguous smile.

Mother Cao was startled and gave up the thought of going to complain.

Forget it, she was just a has-been prostitute, so let her be.

It is better to do it today than to wait for a day, so Li Mingzhu asked the driver to go directly to the household registration office to change Zhang Rulan's status from slave to good.

Zhang Rulan looked at the freshly-made household registration card and wiped away her tears.

Li Mingzhu hugged her and said, "Come on, go back with me!"

Zhang Rulan quickly declined: "No, I won't go..."

My younger sister is now Li Mingzhu, not Zhang Ruxuan, and she married the young master of an embroidery workshop, which is a good marriage.

How could she, a fallen woman, have the nerve to approach him and bring shame to her sister's reputation?

Zhang Rulan had already made up her mind when she came here. She would first find an inn to settle down temporarily, and then go find a house agent to rent.

Li Mingzhu understood Zhang Rulan's concerns, so she naturally disagreed. "You're my sister, what's wrong with living with me? If Qiu Bailing doesn't agree, I'll divorce him, and we can live together as sisters!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Rulan was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears. She grabbed Li Mingzhu's hand and was speechless.

Wuliang held the small package in his hands and was happy for Zhang Rulan.

The five taels were purchased by Zhang Rulan in her personal name and did not belong to Zuichunlou.

Zhang Rulan felt sorry for Wuliang who had to be a slave at such a young age, so she returned the indenture contract to her.

Therefore, Wu Liang told others that she was Zhang Rulan's maid, but in fact she was a free man.

When Zhang Rulan left Zuichunlou, Wuliang naturally followed her.

In the original plot, Wu Liang failed to ask for help from his original body, so he hurried back to Zuichunlou to save Zhang Rulan. During the scuffle, he accidentally fell and hit his head on the stone steps at the entrance of Zuichunlou, and died on the spot.

Now that Zhang Rulan has left Zuichunlou, Wuliang should also have a good ending.

Not long after Li Mingzhu and others returned to the Qiu family, Qiu Bailing hurried back with a fire stick in his hand.

Seeing Li Mingzhu arranging Zhang Rulan to jump over the brazier, Qiu Bailing almost fainted.

"Oh my god..." Qiu Bailing wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at Zhang Rulan secretly, and whispered, "What are you doing?"

The Qiu family's weaving and embroidery workshop mainly sells cloth garments and some embroidery products. It targets middle and lower-end customers and does good business.

This afternoon, he was greeting customers in the store when a neighbor he knew came over and said that his wife had gotten into a fight with someone in Zuichunlou over a prostitute.

At first, Qiu Bailing didn't believe it. After all, her original body was well disguised and looked as weak as a little white flower. After getting married, she had never quarreled with others.

Besides, his wife is a woman, how could she fight with others for Hua Niang!

However, after a while, another person ran up and said the same thing to him.

"Shopkeeper Qiu, your wife is fighting with someone in Zuichunlou over Hua Niang!"

What is this and what?

Qiu Bailing began to have doubts in his heart. After thinking for a while, he went into the small kitchen at the back, took out a fire stick, tightened his belt and ran towards Zuichunlou, fearing that if he was late, his wife would be beaten to death.

However, when he arrived at the place panting, people told him that his wife and Hua Niang had gone to the Household Registration Office in a carriage.

There was no other way, so Qiu Bailing ran to the household registration office again.

As a result, Li Mingzhu showed her ability to make money and completed Zhang Rulan's household registration in just a cup of tea, and then took a carriage back to the Qiu family.

Qiu Bailing, who had failed again, wiped the sweat from his head and ran home resignedly.

Finally, he met his wife, and the legendary Hua Niang who made his wife "lose her temper for the beauty she loves."

"Why do you look like this?" Li Mingzhu looked at Qiu Bailing, who seemed to have been pulled out of the water, with a puzzled look on her face. "Are you trying to lose weight?"

An afternoon run?

Qiu Bailing: ...

He laughed in anger, threw the fire stick aside, pointed at Zhang Rulan, and asked, "Do you want to give me an explanation? Who is she and why is she in our house?"

Li Mingzhu was very calm. She asked Xiu'er to move the brazier away and said to Qiu Bailing, "She is my sister, a biological sister from the same mother!"

"what?"
