The woman said: "Sister Mei has already told me. That one is also called Bai Lan, not Bai Lan from Baihualou."

Zhu Tong glanced at her: "Are you familiar with Miss Mei?"

The woman said: "We have exchanged letters a lot, and today we meet for the first time."

It turned out that she went out to worship Buddha early this morning, and saw a notice posted by the government office on the roadside, asking people who knew Bai Lan, the courtesan of Xianyang, to go to the government office to identify the body. There was also a portrait of "Bai Lan" painted on the notice. She was puzzled, and thought about it.

Chang'an didn't recognize anyone else, didn't burn the incense, and went straight to Chunfeng Tower to find Miss Mei. When Miss Mei heard that she was a "Xianyang believer", she immediately guessed the reason for inviting her in to talk. Although Bai Lan had never met her, she

They recognized each other's poetry and writing, and casually wrote a short poem to prove their identity. After the two talked for half a day, Miss Mei wrote a letter to vouch for her, urging her to come to Zhu Mansion to find Zhu Tong.

Zhu Tong opened the letter and took a look. It was exactly what she said. He nodded and said, "I believe you are really Bai Lan." Then he asked her what was going on.

Bai Lan thought for a moment and said, "I escaped."

"oh?"

Bai Lan smiled sweetly.

Half a year ago, she made a private marriage with a sweetheart who often came to Baihualou. The sweetheart was from Chang'an, with a good family background, a clean net worth, a virtuous wife, and she was very affectionate with Bailan. However, Bailan was the treasure trove of Baihualou, and there had been businessmen from other places.

He offered her one hundred thousand taels of silver to redeem her life, but the old madam refused to sell her. If Bai Lan wanted to leave, she had no choice but to escape. So she first secretly took her savings out of the building and hid them, and then pretended to pick up a foreigner.

The guests went out. Xianghao prepared a carriage to meet them, and the two fled to Chang'an overnight. Fortunately, the gates of Chang'an and Xianyang had long been closed, and everything was safe. She had been an aunt in someone else's house for almost three months now.

Zhu Tong thought: "As far as I know, Baihualou has never said that Miss Bailan disappeared or escaped."

Bai Lan tilted her head: "I probably know the reason for the idea. To be honest, if I hadn't read the notice today and gone to see Sister Mei, I probably wouldn't have come to Mr. Zhu and would have found someone else to help."

Zhu Tong blinked: "Why?"

Bai Lan sighed softly: "The human heart is so insufficient! In the past, I just thought that living in such a dirty place would be useless. As long as I could get out of the pit of fire, I would be a slave. I never thought that if I entered a decent family, I would actually

It's more difficult than in Baihualou." She chuckled and said, "Our grandma is really virtuous. I am defeated by her in this skill, and I am convinced. Mr. Zhu, Sister Mei said that you are the smartest in the entire Qin Kingdom. You may be able to show the way for the slave family.

?”

Zhu Tong's brows moved: "Miss Mei said, I am the wisest in the entire Qin Kingdom?"

"good."
