8. Susan Under Police Escort

Susan, who was a famous prostitute during the Ming Dynasty, met the son of Minister of Personnel Wang Jinglong and fell in love with him. The two swore eternal love to each other. Then Wang spent all his money in the brothel so he was kicked out by the madam. Susan gave Wang her money so Wang could go back to his hometown, Nanjing. After Wang left, Susan was sold by the Madam to be concubine of a trader in Shanxi province. The trader’s wife and her lover poisoned him and framed Susan for the crime, so Susan was arrested on the charge of murder. Fortunately Wang happened to be serving as the governor of Shanxi province, where he ferreted out the truth and released Susan. Finally Susan and Wang got married and enjoyed lifelong happiness.
