Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 221 Investigation Files

There is a small couch in the tea room, which is where they rest when they are on duty at night.

Before, Xia Lan and Qing He took turns to be on duty at night, and now with the addition of Xiao Guoer, three of them take turns to be on duty at night.

That is to say, her working hours for the next year will be not only to work during the day, but also to work night shifts every three days.

My goodness, compared with the working model in the Eighth Prince’s Mansion, the modern “996” working model is simply not good enough, right?

To say that the Eighth Prince is a capitalist is really unfair to him. Even a real capitalist would feel inferior to him after hearing this!

Xia Lan and Qing He both have two days of rest every month, but she doesn't seem to have any. When the Eighth Prince exchanged conditions with her, he said that he would give her an hour of rest every day. It seems that her situation is not exactly the same as these two people.

After receiving some basic information, Xiao Guoer resigned herself to her post and began to make tea for the first time since she came to the Zunyi Palace.

Steaming water was poured into the teacup filled with rare and precious tribute tea. In a moment, the refreshing and pleasant tea fragrance spread like smoke, filling the entire tea room.

Tsk, the privileged class in ancient times really knew how to enjoy themselves. Just for the Eighth Prince, it required two or three people to serve him tea. How luxurious!

Of course, Xiaoguoer didn't need to be on duty tonight. As soon as she arrived, Xia Lan and Qing He asked her to have a good rest and tidy up her room before going to bed.

So, Xiao Guoer brought the brewed tea to the Eighth Prince's study, handed it to the eunuch waiting outside the door, and then turned and left.

Her room was personally arranged by Wang Xiyuan, the chief historian of Zunyi Palace. When Xia Lan and Qing He learned the news, they looked at her with a little more intimacy.

They said that there was no princess consort in the Zunyi Palace, and because Miss Xie did not like the Eighth Prince to have charming women around him, there was not even a maid in the palace. All matters in the palace were managed by the Chief Secretary, Lord Wang Xiyuan, who would not care about such trivial matters as the servants' accommodation.

The new arrival, Xiao Guoer, even had her room arranged by Lord Wang himself, which showed that she was special in the Eighth Prince's heart. The two of them had already regarded Xiao Guoer as half the manager of the teahouse.

Xiao Guoer had no way of knowing what Xia Lan and Qing He were thinking, but she learned two important pieces of information:

First, the Chief Clerk Wang Xiyuan was the chief steward of the Prince Yi's mansion. She would be working and living here for a year, and there would inevitably be things like this. She would need to have a good relationship with the steward, or at least not offend him.

Second, the young lady of the Xie Mansion, Xie Mengwan, was so charming and capable that she could control the Eighth Prince, who didn't even have a maid. She was really amazing! I admire her! This also proved from the side that the Eighth Prince really loved Xie Mengwan. In the future, when I meet her, I must not offend her again, otherwise I will provoke the Eighth Prince's revenge, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Xiao Guoer's room was not in the row of houses where servants lived, but was arranged in the outer guest rooms.

This guest room is very close to the Eighth Prince's study and is usually where his staff live.

Xiao Guo'er was originally worried whether she would be arranged a servant's room. If so, she would inevitably have to squeeze with other men. Now, looking at the comfortable and independent house in front of her, she breathed a sigh of relief. This was really the best. She didn't have to rack her brains and find ways to ask the Eighth Prince for a separate room.

She did not find this arrangement strange. After all, she was not an ordinary servant in the palace. She was only here for a year. She thought that the Eighth Prince probably took this into consideration and made such an arrangement.

There was nothing much to clean up in the room. It was equipped with clean bedding and daily toiletries. She did not plan to make any changes or purchase anything in the room. It was only for a year anyway, so she would only treat it as a dormitory for a short period of time.

Before Xiao Guoer closed her eyes, she was thinking that she would ask the Eighth Prince tomorrow what time exactly she was allowed to leave the palace for one hour every day. Living in this palace was really troublesome. She couldn't enter or leave freely. There were people guarding the door, like a cage. It would be inconvenient to see Jingchen and Yingniang in the future. And only one hour a day was too short. She didn't know what would happen if she exceeded the time limit. Maybe it wouldn't be a big deal. The Eighth Prince was very busy with all kinds of things. How could he have the time to watch her all day to see if she was out of the palace within one hour?

The more Xiao Guoer thought about it, the more she felt that she had many opportunities to cheat and take advantage of loopholes. She was different from the servants in this palace. As long as the Eighth Prince didn't have time to pull her pigtails, no one else would care about her. Thinking this way, she felt that the coming year might be easy. In such an optimistic fantasy, she fell asleep happily.

It was late at night, everything was silent, and the whole world seemed to be in a deep sleep, but the lights in the study of Prince Zunyi's Mansion were still brightly lit.

Zhao Yunrong finally finished dealing with the pile of secret letters on his desk. He rubbed his temples to relieve his fatigue, and then unfolded the detailed investigation file on Xiao Guoer and Tang Jingchen.

Xiao Guoer's account was very brief, consisting of only a few lines from the time she was abducted into Zuihualou by human traffickers to the present. Although there were not many words, some things that were revealed in it that he did not know still surprised him. It seemed that her life in Zuihualou was not easy. No wonder she developed such a money-hungry and mercenary character.

That’s right, who can live well in a place like that?

After Zhao Yunrong closed Xiao Guoer's file, he felt uneasy. If he could have discovered her identity earlier in Zuihualou, Tang Jingchen would not have met her.

He had so many opportunities, but he didn't recognize her once.

She disguised herself so well. Who would have thought that under such a beautiful face, there would be such a vulgar character who only cared about money? Who would have thought that she loved money so much that when she loved someone, she would be willing to do anything and even risk her life!

He longed for that kind of wholehearted and desperate love, but it was always out of his reach.

He had never seen or felt it before, so naturally he would never have imagined that there would come a day when he would desire it so much.

Now that he had seen it, and had personally felt the warmth she gave him at the bottom of the cliff, it was like he was addicted, and it was out of control. He could not control his greedy desires.

Since his mother's death, he has been bullied. The pain and suffering have inspired his fighting spirit. He vowed to sit on the throne and make everyone submit to him. This has always been his life goal.

Now, in addition to that goal, for the second time in his life, he felt such a strong desire and desire - he wanted her unreserved, hot and warm love! He wanted to possess her for himself!

One day, he will realize his two wishes. He will hold her in his arms and sit together on the supreme position, looking down on the world.
