Chapter 223 The drugged beauty
The two of them strode to the front of Baihua Tower, where they saw bright lights, a constant stream of people, and a bustling atmosphere.
The servant at the door was all smiles. When he saw their attire, he immediately stepped forward and greeted them, "Gentlemen, please come in!"
Ning Sangsang nodded in a cool manner, then led the excited Su Xiaoyu in. As they stepped into the building, a strong scent of powder mixed with the aroma of wine hit them in the face.
The lobby was already filled with people of all kinds, with the sounds of loud conversation and clinking glasses interweaving into one.
As soon as the two entered the door, a clever servant came up to greet them, nodding and saying, "Gentlemen, there are still vacancies in the private room upstairs. The view is excellent and you can have a panoramic view of the lively scene of the auction. Do you want to go up?"
When Su Xiaoyu heard this, her eyes lit up and she quickly nodded in agreement. The servant led them to the private room on the second floor.
Arriving at the private room on the second floor, it was decorated very elegantly. The lively light and shadow from downstairs came through the carved window lattices, and the sandalwood incense was curling in the room. As soon as I sat down, the waiter quickly placed exquisite snacks and fine wine.
Su Xiaoyu could not wait to get to the window, overlooking the bustling lobby downstairs, and shouted excitedly: "Xiao Sangsang, come and see, this view is amazing!"
Ning Sangsang walked over with a smile, her eyes sweeping over the various people in the lobby. This position was indeed an excellent place to look down.
After Su Xiaoyu sat down, he looked back and forth among the crowd, exclaiming from time to time: "There are so many people, it's really lively! I wonder how beautiful that stunning beauty is."
Ning Sangsang was just about to respond to Su Xiaoyu when a louder noise suddenly came from downstairs.
It turned out to be the madam who walked onto the stage with exaggerated steps, gracefully waving her handkerchief in the air, and shouting at the top of her voice: "Gentlemen, please be quiet! We have a stunning beauty from Baihualou, who is both talented and beautiful. Tonight, her virginity will go to the highest bidder! The highest bidder wins! Now, the bidding begins!"
Someone in the crowd shouted at the top of his voice: "What's the point of just listening to what you say? Call that stunning beauty out and see if she is really as beautiful as you say!" As soon as these words were spoken, everyone echoed them and the shouts rose one after another.
The madam was not in a hurry, still with her signature smile on her face. She gently shook her handkerchief and said in a sweet voice: "Gentlemen, please be patient. This good thing will naturally be the last to be presented. But since everyone is so anxious, I will reveal a little to you first." As she spoke, she clapped her hands, and two maids walked out lightly from the backstage, holding a scroll in their hands.
Two maids carefully unfolded the scroll, and a picture of a sleeping beauty slowly appeared before everyone.
The beauty in the painting is lying flat on a carved couch, her long black hair cascading down on the couch like a waterfall. A few strands of hair playfully hang down on her snow-white cheeks, highlighting her skin. Her lips are red without any lipstick, and the gauze dress she wears lightly covers her body, but cannot conceal her exquisite curves, outlining her graceful figure, which makes people imagine a lot.
The audience was in an uproar, the men's eyes were full of surprise and greed, and they shouted out their bids. "I'll bid eight hundred taels!" A wealthy businessman dressed in silk was the first to shout, his voice full of determination. "One thousand taels!" A young man next to him was not willing to be outdone and directly raised the price by two thousand taels.
Su Xiaoyu stared with wide eyes, tightly grasping Ning Sangsang's arm, her voice filled with excitement: "Xiao Sangsang, this is too beautiful! I can't even imagine how attractive she must be in real life!"
Ning Sangsang frowned slightly. She always felt that there was an indescribable sense of familiarity between the eyebrows and eyes of this beauty, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her for a while.
At this time, the bid from the audience had soared to 10,000 taels. The madam smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits. She waved her handkerchief constantly and shouted loudly: "Is there any higher bid? 10,000 taels once, 10,000 taels twice..."
Just when the madam was about to shout out "Twelve thousand three times" to finalize the price, Ning Sangsang suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Eleven thousand taels!" Her voice instantly made the originally noisy lobby quiet for a moment. Everyone turned to look at the private room on the second floor, wanting to see which rich man was willing to pay such a high price.
Su Xiaoyu looked at Ning Sangsang in shock, her mouth wide open, not understanding why she wanted to participate in this auction. Ning Sangsang ignored Su Xiaoyu's gaze and stared at the audience.
A hint of surprise flashed in the madam's eyes, and she immediately raised her voice: "Eleven thousand taels at a time, this gentleman bids eleven thousand taels! Is there a higher price?"
The crowd in the audience was talking among themselves. The rich businessman who had originally offered 10,000 taels hesitated with a painful look on his face, but finally shook his head and gave up raising the price.
Finally, no one raised the price, and the bell in the madam's hand rang crisply, "Eleven thousand two or three times, deal! Congratulations to this young man for winning the beauty!"
The madam's shrill voice echoed in the lobby, announcing the end of this fierce auction.
Su Xiaoyu looked at Ning Sangsang with a puzzled look on his face: "Xiao Sangsang, why are you spending a lot of money to buy this beauty's virginity?"
Ning Sangsang did not answer immediately, but stared at the audience. It was not until she saw the madam and a few maids hurriedly walking backstage that she whispered to Su Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, this is very strange. The woman in the painting was drugged."
When Su Xiaoyu heard this, her eyes widened and her face was full of anger. She said anxiously, "How could such a thing happen! How abominable! Xiao Sangsang, we must save her! This beauty is obviously from an innocent family, we can't let her be ruined!"
Ning Sangsang nodded slightly, "I thought so too. Let's wait until someone comes up and then we'll take a look."
After a while, the madam walked into the private room with a smile on her face, twisting her waist, and a sly look flashed in her eyes. "Sir," the madam bowed slightly, her voice sweet, "the beauty is ready and waiting for you, please follow me."
Ning Sangsang and Su Xiaoyu were about to follow, but the madam suddenly reached out to stop Su Xiaoyu, still with that fake smile on her face, "Sir, this rule cannot be broken. You have paid, so only you can see the beauty. This young man has not paid, so he cannot go."
When Su Xiaoyu heard this, she immediately became anxious and shouted, "What kind of broken rule is this? We came here together, why can't I go?"
The madam waved her handkerchief slowly, her tone still sweet: "Don't be angry, sir. We are also following the rules. If you really want to go, it's not impossible. Just pay more money."
Ning Sangsang directly handed over 20,000 taels of silver to the madam, her eyes cold, "These 20,000 taels are for you, let her go in with me. If she dares to talk nonsense again, I will make sure that you will not have peace in Baihua Tower."
The madam's eyes lit up instantly when she looked at the 20,000 taels of silver, and the smile on her face became even more flattering: "Young master is very generous. In that case, please follow me, gentlemen." As she spoke, she quickly put the silver bills away, twisting her waist and leading the way.
As Su Xiaoyu followed the madam, she leaned close to Ning Sangsang's ear and whispered with a pained look on her face, "Xiao Sangsang, this is 20,000 taels! Giving it to her so easily is such a loss!"
Ning Sangsang whispered to comfort him: "Don't worry about the money, saving people is more important."
The madam led them to the end of the corridor, stopped in front of a carved door, and gently pushed it open.
The door slowly opened, and a strange fragrance filled the room, making people's heads feel heavy.
The madam twisted her waist, with a sickening smile on her face, and whispered, "Gentlemen, this is specially prepared for you two. In order to let you have fun, we gave this beauty some special medicine, which guarantees that she will be docile and obedient, and serve you two comfortably."
When Su Xiaoyu heard this, his eyes widened with anger. He rushed forward, grabbed the madam by the collar, and shouted, "Bring out the antidote! We don't like playing like this!"
The madam was grabbed by Su Xiaoyu's collar, but she remained calm, with that disgusting smile on her face. She raised her hand and gently patted Su Xiaoyu's hand, saying in a tender voice: "Sir, calm down. Don't be anxious. This girl has a bit of a temper. If you don't do this, I won't be able to serve you comfortably."
Su Xiaoyu's eyes widened with anger, and he increased the strength of his hands, pulling the madam's feet off the ground, and shouted loudly: "Stop talking nonsense! We spent money, and it's our business to let her serve us as we want. It's not your turn to dictate! Hurry and get the antidote!"
Su Xiaoyu pulled the madam's feet off the ground, and the smile on her face finally disappeared. Her features twisted and she screamed, "Don't go too far! You're causing trouble in my Baihua Tower, and you don't even consider your own weight!"
As she struggled, she pointed to the door in panic and shouted at the top of her voice: "Someone come! There are people running wild here, catch them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside. Several burly guards holding sticks rushed in aggressively and surrounded Ning Sangsang and Su Xiaoyu.
Seeing this, Su Xiaoyu exerted force on his hands and pulled the madam back fiercely. Then he put a sharp dagger directly against the madam's neck. The dagger flashed with a cold light, and frightened the madam so much that she fell silent instantly and her face turned pale.
Su Xiaoyu shouted at the guards, "Don't come over here! If you take another step forward, I'll kill her immediately!"
The guards were frightened by this sudden change. They stopped walking unconsciously and the sticks in their hands began to tremble slightly.
They looked at each other, at a loss for a moment, after all, their masters were still in her hands.
