General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 745 Different Fates (1)

"I hope no one knows that I used to work in an art house and that I have an old lover. Who of those men would remember an artist who has fallen from grace?" Wu Mengniang said self-deprecatingly.

"Zhao Hu, the only person I could rely on, also distanced himself from me because of you." Wu Mengniang glanced at Ji Xiaowu, "In the final analysis, it was because I provoked you. Who made you have a man to rely on? We were both divorced, but we have different fates!"

"Then why didn't you follow Zhao Hu?" Ji Xiaowu asked curiously. "Zhao Hu is more reliable than Liu Wencai anyway!"

"...It's because he is also a lowly person. If I want to become a good woman, I must marry a man with a clean background." Wu Mengniang glanced at Ji Xiaomu. "Zhao Hu is a thug in the gambling house. He also sold himself to be a servant. Although he seems to be in a good position, it's just the power given to him by his master."

"I want to give my child a chance so that he won't be laughed at. So I must be married to a decent person so that I can escape from being a slave." Wu Mengniang said slowly. "Zhao Hu also knew this, so he didn't stop me and agreed to let me follow Liu Wencai."

Unexpectedly, this was the reason. Ji Xiao was silent for a moment. "So what are your plans now?"

"I don't know. I don't know where I can go. All my family members died in the famine that year." Wu Mengniang said lightly.

"What would you do?" asked Ji Xiaomu.

"Does serving a man count?" Wu Mengniang curled her lips. "I grew up in an art house. What else do you think I can do? It's nothing more than some tricks to serve a man and some entertaining music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"What is ornamental music, chess, calligraphy and painting?" asked Ji Xiaomu curiously.

Are calligraphy, chess, painting and music divided into aesthetic aspects?

"It's just playing a few songs, reciting a few poems, casually accompanying guests to draw a picture, and playing chess with them. Anyway, in the end, it's not doing anything serious." Wu Mengniang glanced at Ji Xiaoniang, "The purpose is to seduce men and make them pay money. Do you understand?"

"...I understand." Ji Xiaomu was speechless.

"You haven't told me why you saved me..." Wu Mengniang insisted on knowing why Ji Xiaomu saved her.

"Because you helped me notify them..." Ji Xiaomu said seriously, "I am a person who remembers favors. Although nothing will happen to me in the end, I will remember your kindness since you did it."

"Whether you are stupid or not is just a matter of one sentence." Wu Mengniang paused and looked at Ji Xiaomu for a moment, knowing that she was telling the truth.

"Why do you care whether I'm stupid or not? As long as I have a clear conscience, that's all." Ji Xiaomu glared at Wu Mengniang. This person really didn't know what was good for her. He saved her and even scolded her?

"You really are..." Wu Mengniang smiled slightly, then chuckled, and finally laughed out loud, laughing so hard that tears came out. "I have been scheming all my life, but no one saved me. I just helped you pass on a message, but you saved me."

The person who was least likely to save her in the world saved her.

Wu Mengniang gave Ji Xiaomu a complicated look, "Why can you be so indifferent? Why can you be so comfortable?"

"Have a clear conscience!" Ji Xiaomu said as a matter of course, "You have been calculating all the time, aren't you tired? People should just be honest like this, isn't it okay? What's yours is yours, and what's not yours, don't force it, is that hard?"

"Why do you have to stare at other people's lives and make things difficult for yourself?" Ji Xiaomu looked at Wu Mengniang, "If you don't want to be ordinary, then work hard to make yourself stronger! Thinking about other people's things may not be yours in the end, so why bother?"
