The head of the Mu family

Chapter 126 Rescue (2)

Mu Huaisheng paused, then covered his face with his hands, sighing and feeling sad.

When I removed my hand again, my eyes were already wet.

After pausing, she choked up and said:

"This time, however, the follow-up visit with this important person took a little longer."

The two children were then sold by the unscrupulous steward.

All I could ask was that it was sold in Qinhuai, but I didn't know where it ended up.

However, what was being sold were two small children.

She's almost thirteen now, and I haven't seen her in a long time. She should be about my size now.

"I wonder if Madam Wu could help me find out something?"

"Do I even need to explain your matter? When did it happen?"

I bought it from there almost two months ago.

"Oh~ then they should return by water, which should take about a month. Let me think~"

About a month...

Yeah!

I suspect it should be the Pavilion of Incorruptible Spirits.

"Oh~ why do you say that?"

"Some time ago, his husband, Lao Zheng, said he got two different kinds of goods from the north."

Many of the twelve or thirteen-year-old boys here are still quite small.

But those two children, while having the size of adults, definitely looked like children.

"That's great! I'll go buy them right away!"

"Dr. Mu~"

Don't worry, they're in the training phase right now. They haven't even made any money yet, and people are already buying them.

I reckon that since they were already planning to capitalize on this rare commodity, they'll definitely drive up the price.

"I'm not afraid of a higher price."

"Dr. Mu, our line of work, in this situation, is a bottomless pit."

"Hmm, is there any way to handle this? I would appreciate any advice from Madam Wu."

"In my opinion, we should consider this carefully. You should go and see if they are indeed the two children."

"Tomorrow, please disguise yourself and come with me to Qingfeng Pavilion to see if they are indeed the two children, and then we can make further plans."

“What you say makes sense, Madam Wu. When shall I come to see you tomorrow?”

"Come before noon tomorrow, and we'll disguise you a bit."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, my wife."

"What are you saying? Over the years, we girls have used your prescriptions and countless people have become better!"

If only we had a master like you back then...

Sigh~ What am I saying~

"At this age!"

"Madam Wu's appearance hasn't changed at all these years!"

"Dr. Mu, you're too kind. I have something I'd like to ask you."

As I get older, I wear makeup all day long, and after washing my face...

Do you understand?

I understand.

Uncle Mo, wait at the door.

After Uncle Xiao Mo left, Mu Huaisheng spoke:

"Please, Madam Wu and my two sisters, wash your faces so I can take a look."

The madam called for someone to bring the food, and the men washed their faces.

Huai Sheng checked and found that it was because the cosmetics he was using contained lead.

It looks effective at first, but it gets worse over time.

My makeup is usually too heavy, which makes my face covered in blackheads and pimples.

The powder was applied thicker and thicker, and the thicker it was, the less breathable it became, which made the problem worse and worse.

"Hmm, it's not a big problem. I'll prescribe some medicine for you all to regulate your internal system."

Also, ladies, please stop using your previous makeup products recently.

Hmm~ Don't use it again in the future, just use the regular kind.

After I find those two children, I will bother Madam Wu for a few days.

Show this to my wife and sisters, and make some face cream according to each of their needs.

It's the Lunar New Year period, so everyone should take a break and rest.

By the time spring arrives after the New Year, the sisters will all be radiant!

"Oh, that's great!"

Don't worry, I'm sure I can find your two servants as long as they're in Qinhuai."

As expected, the other groups didn't make much progress during breakfast the next day.

Huaisheng then told everyone what he had found out.

Let them rest in the afternoon, and continue to investigate in the evening.

At noon, Huaisheng took Uncle Xiaomo to Yuehonglou again.

Those two children are indeed penniless and are being disciplined.

Besides their faces, their bodies were almost covered in bruises, but the two children stubbornly persevered in despair.

The others who went at the same time were already learning how to please people.

The male brothel owner, on the contrary, felt a stronger urge to tame him.

Once such children are tamed, they will be even more popular with customers.

After Huai Sheng arrived at Yuehonglou, the pimp led him inside.

The madam changed Huai Sheng into a loose-fitting pimp's outfit and then fussed over his face. Huai Sheng looked in the mirror.

Mu Huaisheng took a look:

Wow! This professional is definitely different!

He then dressed Uncle Mo in thug clothes and disguised him. After finishing his work and having some lunch, he left with nothing but a clean conscience.

When he arrived at Liangqiuqing, he met the madam.

Mrs. Wu then began to exchange pleasantries with him:

"Father Zheng~ The New Year is almost here, do you have any new programs planned?"

"I've come today to secretly learn from you!"

"Mrs. Wu, you flatter me. Your 'Flying Immortal from the Nine Heavens' performance in August was truly renowned!"

"That's nonsense. But I still secretly told you."

"Well, with spring here, we need to try something new, so I came here to learn from your experience."

"Great! You're most welcome. I just had a batch of new stock that I recently tested. Would you like to see how it goes?"

"Very well~ I shall comply!"

Then the madam, Zheng, led the group to a private room.

A short while later, some children came out, all around ten years old, their bodies not yet fully grown, and they took turns serving Mama Wu.

Then, the performances began in turn.

When Wu's mother had a moment to glance at Huaisheng, Huaisheng shook his head slightly in acknowledgment.

As soon as everyone had entered, Huai Sheng asked Uncle Xiao Mo with his eyes.

After the performance, Wu's mother carefully critiqued everything from the moment she entered the room and served tea to the performance itself, pointing out any shortcomings.

The madam, Mr. Zheng, nodded repeatedly as he listened, and then Mrs. Wu casually remarked:

“Hey~ Father Zheng.”

I remember the last time we went to Aunt Wang's place together, you said you found two beauties?

Why didn't I see it today? Did you enjoy it yourself?

Those two~

Still stubborn, her fiery temper is hard to tame!

However, I'm actually looking forward to it!

If they train them well, they'll probably make the building a fortune!

"I'm quite curious, to receive such praise from you, please allow me to broaden my horizons~"

As he spoke, the madam led the group to the back courtyard's outbuildings.

In a place resembling a prison, two children were inside, tortured beyond recognition.

"That's it?"

"Someone, bring me some water!"

Go in and wipe the two little ones' faces clean.

The two children were exhausted and helpless, at the mercy of those people.

Huai Sheng immediately looked at Uncle Xiao Mo, who had already recognized the two children when he saw their dirty faces.

At this moment, tears were already welling up in her eyes.

Huai Sheng gave a signal with his eyes, and Uncle Xiao Mo immediately tried to calm himself down.

One of the children suddenly struggled to lift his head and look, then lowered it again in disappointment.

When the madam glanced at him unintentionally, Huai Sheng immediately gave a signal of confirmation.

"Oh my, I think she has a pretty face."

But if you keep doing this, won't you kill the two little ones?

That would be a loss for everyone.

Don't worry~

You don't know my methods yet; I can't outlast you!

"Ugh~ This place stinks."

Hurry up and leave, I'll come back to check on you after you've trained them properly~

With that, Mrs. Wu led the group back to the museum.

After exchanging pleasantries with Madam Zheng for a while, he took his leave as it was getting late.

Back at the Moon Red Pavilion, Madam Wu removed their disguises, and the two went to change back into their own clothes.

They went into the private room again, and this time Uncle Mo sat down comfortably.

He sat down and began to silently shed tears. Huai Sheng asked someone to bring him a washcloth.

"Madam Wu, could you also introduce me to them so I can treat their illnesses?"

"Dr. Mu, I know your medical skills are superb, but I'm afraid it won't work."

Why?

"They managed to get doctors, many doctors..."

Sometimes, but not always... Coming to a place like ours...

Doctors find it much easier to treat men.

They rarely show it to us because they think we'll damage their reputation!
