Brothel (1)

Huai Li Qi was smiling, she saw how Weng Yan Mei really had a nice side than her last. Feeling sleepy she got up yawning.

"Are you going to sleep?" Bao Siyu asked. She nodded in response, rubbing dirt and dust off herself. Making way to her room, Bao Siyu followed her as both had smiles across their face.

"Will you be staying until your sister can finish her punishment?" He then asked her, smiling looking up to him. She didn't know how long they were staying but she saw his expression of wanting her to stay longer. She smiled and tiptoed kissing his cheek, wanting to give him hope for it.

He was a bit surprised by the sudden action. Going into her room, she smiled behind the doors. Feeling a burst of happiness in her heart. Going to her bed she decided it was a long day.

Waking up early, walking around the place, she decided to cook a few things. Making breakfast for everyone, she had set up all the tables and plates. Hearing footsteps and yawning she turned around to see everyone awake.

"Oh! You cooked for us! This is the best food that actually looks good!" Hai Xue then said. They all went to grab a plate and started eating now enjoying it.

"Oh! This is also good! Siyu you should marry Li Qi! If we have her as a sister in law then we wouldn't have to starve and eat plain food!" He Hung included.

Weng Yan Mei smacked his head as he was eating. "What was that for!?" He looked to Weng Yan Mei.

"My older sister would not marry yet! You of course still have plenty of woman to decide from." She crossed her arms looking to him.

Huai Li Qi smiled to the view, Bao Siyu was looking at her while he was eating. Washing the plates after her sisters were helping her.

"Sister Li Qi, are we staying here until Suyin finishes her punishment?" Kei Ren asked with curiosity. Bao Siyu listened on them as he wanted to know.

Huai Li Qi didn't do anything, she still hadn't decided as they sighed. Gathering all the plates, they had set it all down in the kitchen. Bao Siyu was with his brothers, the girls sat around near them. Huai Li Qi could see that they all had a serious expression on them. She knew something wasn't right at the moment.

"Is something the matter?" Kei Ren looked to them all asking them.

"Prince Ru isn't being punished since he is from royalty. They see that no royalty should be punished. We've had him revealed that he's been using the Emperor's money for his parties. Not even that can upset the emperor enough to kill him." Bao Siyu said. Huai Li Qi remembered seeing Prince Hui Ru once.

He had tried to take advantage of her mother once. She clutched her hand as her sisters saw the uneasy feeling off of her. "Older Sister, are you okay?" Weng Yan Mei held her hand looking to her sisters.

Bao Siyu and his brothers were looking at her now as she stood up. Going over to Bao Siyu, she held his palm open and started writing.

"I will open a brothel. It may be the only way to catch him red handed in a situation that will anger the emperor enough." Huai Li Qi wrote as he looked to her.

"No, you cannot open one. You will be endangered." Bao Siyu held her hands.

She smiled shaking her head. "I will be fine. I just need to dress as a boy. I won't be the master of course. My sisters will be there as well, but as boys." She wrote onto his palm again. He could only sigh looking to her.

"You better be safe. I'll be there watching you but also as the master then." He included looking frustrated.

Finding a location, the girls all dressed as men. Walking out of the room they were in male hanfu attires that fitted them well, they enjoyed it. Bao Siyu and his brothers were looking at the girls looking to them.

"You all just look like a bunch of pretty boys." He Hung said making Weng Yan Mei laugh.

"That's what makes the woman go crazy for us." Weng Yan Mei said. He Hung then ran to her. She knew immediately, dodging him, she tripped his foot making him stumble into the room then closing it. Locking it from the outside, both Weng Yan Mei and Kei Ren high five another, they walked off together smiling to their partnership. Hao Fang was looking at Kei Ren smiling, he somehow loved her smile and how she encouraged her sisters in anyway she could.

"Hey! Let me out!" He Hung was yelling from inside. Huai Li Qi patted Bao Siyu's shoulder to let him handle it.

Bao Siyu watched her leave, he sighed after and removed the lock on the door. Opening it, He Hung stumbled out as Hao Fang caught him on the collar of his hanfu shirt, he looked around for Weng Yan Mei.

"Where did that peanut go!?" He said. Bao Siyu cleared his throat. "Siyu! Where did they go!?" He Hung then asked angrily.

"They all went to the brothel. You for one cannot go because you will give us trouble with the ladies."

"What!? Please let me go! I'll be good!" He Hung was now complaining and whining while Hao Fang was holding him back now which he wasn't fond of woman anyway reminding him of his troubling past.

"Xue? Yong Zheng?" Bao Siyu faced them as they bowed slightly.

"Yes, Siyu." Both answered to him.

"Let us be on our way there. We must find information about Prince Ru." Both nodded to his response. The three of them went off to the brothel that Huai Li Qi opened.

Going around, they had performers and dancers as folks were already going in. Huai Li Qi stayed near the entrance for Prince Ru to show up.

"Sister, how are we going to get Prince Ru here? How would he know that we are open?" Kei Ren asked as Huai Li Qi smiled. She knew that Prince Hui Ru was known to enjoy parties and woman. There was no doubt that he was going to miss out.
