"Okay." Du Bai nodded slightly. This kind of treatment was as expected. Although the bead turned into pure spiritual energy after being processed by his means may have a great attraction to the monster, he always believed that Yue Ning was not the kind of selfish person and would not take this bead alone.

It is precisely because of this that he decided to return the blood-colored jade bead to her.

It was already early. When Du Bai saw that the pleasure boat was also docked, he did not stay for a long time. The purpose of coming today has been achieved.

At this moment, all the guests dispersed on the boat. Miss Suyu slowly walked back to her room with the help of two maids.

After all, although she had been holding on before, in fact, Fang Tai's nonsense behavior caused some damage to her heart and body. Now that she relaxed, she suddenly felt that her ankle wrist, especially the side face, was hit, and she couldn't help but exhale her pain, and tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Those men are so rude. They treat the beautiful girl who looks so beautiful like this." A maid kept complaining while carefully applying the redness and swelling of her cheeks with hot water.

"Xiao Ruan, don't talk nonsense."

Miss Suyu blinked her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but lift up slightly, secretly delighted.

"If others don't mention it, then Mr. Liu is a good person."

The little girl named Xiao Ruan asked curiously: "Miss, do you think Mr. Liu falls in love with you? Otherwise, how could he help you like this?"

"Like..." Su Yu's face turned slightly red, as if she was shy and happy. The white jade's fingertips unconsciously surrounded the few strands of black hairs. "How can it be said in such a short time?"

"It would be great if I really fell in love with it. Xiao Ruan heard that Mr. Liu is now the most beloved young master of the Liu family, and it is no problem to spend a lot of money. If he had his help, Miss Suyu would definitely be able to compete with Miss Yue Ning for the position of courtesan!"

The little maid said casually, but Su Yu was slightly stunned and unconsciously noticed it.

Since she is a girl who grew up in a pleasure boat, she naturally yearns for the name of a courtesan. Not to mention money for now, being a courtesan means that her talent and appearance have been recognized. It can be said that she is overwhelming with all the beauty and is unmatched. It is the highest honor that even the women here cannot refuse.

What's more, if you get the title of a courtesan, you don't need to worry about whether your mother will be forced out to pick up customers every day, and at least you can have some of your own voice. If you are lucky in the future, you can even marry into a wealthy family as a concubine, which is a blessing on this unfortunate life journey.

But Su Yu also understood before that the woman who easily occupied the name of a courtesan for three consecutive years was an existence that she could not compare to. Even though she practiced her dancing skills hard, she was still far behind. This little distance seemed to be a world of difference and could not match her.

Until now, she seemed to have vaguely seen a little hope.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she remembered something: "By the way, Xiao Ruan. I heard that you used to serve Sister Yue Ning, but later she left because she was sick. What do you think of her?"

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will win every battle. Since you have the intention to fight, no matter whether you can succeed or not, it is always correct to find out some news first.

"Miss Yue Ning..."

But after such a question, Su Yu didn't hear a response from behind her for a long time. She looked back with some confusion, but saw the little girl's face hesitant, as if she was considering whether she should say it.

"You girl is still thinking about Sister Yue Ning's goodness, so don't want to say it?" Su Yu teased her half-jokingly.

"Not this." Xiao Ruan seemed to be worried that someone would hear him, and looked around carefully. Seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice a little, "Although Miss Yue Ning treats us well, it is a bit weird, and some places are even more strange and scary. It is precisely because of this that I deliberately said I was sick and transferred away..."

"Oh?" Su Yu was slightly stunned. It was the first time she heard this kind of thing, and she couldn't help but feel even more curious. "Tell me, what kind of weirdness makes you so scared?"

The little girl also recalled in a low voice, with a bit of fear in her pupils: "Several times, I heard a strange sound in Miss Yue Ning's room, as if she was talking to someone else. But when I pushed the door open, I found that there was only one girl in the room..."

"Sometimes, Miss Yue Ning's temperament will suddenly change, from gentle and cute to very irritable, just like a different person. Even the eyes of us look like strangers, which is very scary..."

...

Su Yu was listening carefully with a smile on her face, thinking that this little maid was too brave to remember to scare herself in some things that caught the wind and shadows. However, as things that were invisibly exuded a strange aura came out of her mouth, the smile on her face gradually faded...

"Miss……"

It was not until Xiao Ruan gently pushed her timidly that Su Yu suddenly woke up, and then she realized that her back was actually wet with cold sweat. The inexplicable coldness under the autumn mood made her subconsciously tremble.

When the candlelight in the room swayed slightly with the wind blowing in from the unclosed window cracks, she also felt a little scared.

After all, the unknown side of the maid just mentioned by the unknown girl Yue Ning was really a bit scary.

It seemed that it was not an ordinary person, but a ghost in human skin!

No wonder this maid would think of leaving. If it were her, she would definitely not dare to stay by the other party for a long time...

"Have you said these words to others?" Su Yu thought for a moment and looked at the maid nervously.

Xiao Ruan hurriedly shook her head and waved her hand: "No. I am just a little maid, how dare I spread the matter of my master? If my mother knew that she would definitely beat me to death."

"That's good." Su Yu nodded slightly, thinking, "Don't say these words to the second person again, otherwise... I can't protect you!"

The little maid was frightened by her intentionally frightened tone. She nodded in fear, closed her mouth tightly and did not dare to show up, as if she was afraid that someone would secretly listen to it.

In the next two days, the matter about Miss Yue Ning did not spread, but Su Yu did not forget it, and kept it in mind. So when she met Yue Ning in the pleasure boat, she might have called her sister intimately in the past, but now she has a strange look in her eyes, and she even dared not get too close.
