Brothel (2)

Waiting, they saw Ning Jun and Prince Ru. He was in the carriage walking out, still in his mid forties and royalty. She looked at him with a glare, she remembered seeing him one time. He drugged her mother one time. She was angry remembering how she got the scar on her neck.

Going up to him, they greeted him. "It is such a great honor for the Prince to come here. What room would you love to get?" Weng Yan Mei said looking to her and her sisters.

"Hmm... pretty men managing a Brothel with pretty woman. Matches well for you bunch. Give me your best room." The three of them nodded leading him to the largest room with great decoration and designs.

"This is the best room here. Girls come here!" Weng Yan Mei clapped out for the girls to come in, they came right into the room sitting next to the Prince.

He smiled, they were serving for him with food and wine. On the opposite room was Bao Siyu, Hai Xue and Xuan Yong Zheng. They were in the other room listening and waiting.

"Prince Ru, have you ever seen a woman that makes fine jewelry?" Weng Yan Mei asked him, asking for Huai Li Qi. Huai Li Qi asked her to do so since she wanted to know if he remembered.

"I believe I did once. This fine sky dragon necklace she created was one of the finest made. She was quite a beauty as well. I could've made her my concubine. I almost had her one time, but her little child got in the way. If I was able to get rid of the kid first, then it would've made it easier for myself. I'm pretty sure that I killed off her child though." He laughed loudly taking a drink of the wine.

"Why do you say that?" Weng Yan Mei asked. Huai Li Qi was feeling so much anger rise in her nearly dropping the tray of food she carried.

"The little kid, I had stabbed the child and cut it's neck. No child could survive that, I got a scar on my leg because that little brat had messed with royalty." He said continuing to laugh but pulled out his leg to show the scar. Huai Li Qi remembered very well what she did to save her mother.

He had partied all night, they had him in a deep sleep. The two were asleep as the three girls walked out. "Older sister..." Her sisters called her. She shoved past them not wanting to vent or rage on them physically. They saw her run off as Bao Siyu looked to the two younger ones.

"What happened?" He asked the two. They shrugged their shoulders not wanting to tell him. He waited for the girls to tell him before he went after Huai Li Qi as she had ran into her room.

Crying on the bed sniffling, remembering that Prince Hui Ru had drugged her mother. Huai Li Qi was only 10 years old, she sneaked out that night, her eyes were covered and she dressed poorly. She couldn't be seen as a girl but she had sneaked out and followed her mother.

Her mother went to take a sky dragon necklace to Prince Hui Ru who assigned her mother to make it. She had made it in time to see her mother was being set down on the bed. She had hurriedly rushed inside holding her small dagger big enough to hold. She had barged in cutting Prince Hui Ru's leg. Going to her mother she shook her mother as she was facing the Prince.

"Why you little!!! I'll teach you to mess with royalty!!!" He struck her with his sword as she barely dodged it but cutting her side of the rib. Getting his sword to her neck, she felt the sword, then heard her mother scream in panick. She had managed to cut the prince only making a small cut on his chest and leg. Seeing her mother panting she then carried her daughter away and barely survived.

Huai Li Qi heard the door barge open, she came back from her memories. Seeing Bao Siyu he had closed her doors and hugged her. "I heard everything. It's okay. Don't hide your tears. Let it out, I won't let you keep it in. It's not healthy." He told her making her start to cry. Hugging him, she couldn't stop crying with him hugging her so close. "It's okay. I'll make him suffer for what he's done. He doesn't deserve to be alive but he must suffer and regret that he is alive." He told her which she only nodded in his chest.

Crying until she stopped, she separated from him and smiled looking up to him. Grabbing his palm she wrote, 'Thank you. Siyu makes me happy now. It feels nice to not hide my tears."

"My Little Lotus shouldn't be crying at all. I'll make you stop crying in the future. I don't want to keep seeing your eyes filled with tears." He kissed her forehead, closing her eyes to accept the kiss. Looking up to him he smiled to her reaction. "Little lotus, I'll see you around. Don't you and your sisters reveal yourself or else I'll have to punish you mainly." He told her. She nodded hoping that her sisters were going to be careful. She didn't want to be punished for them in their place.

He left her room just when she closed the doors. She didn't want to let him see her blushing. Preparing to sleep for the night she sat down now laying in her bed. Revealing her lotus bracelet she glanced at it thinking of her mother. Then pulling up her sleeve, she also had the jade bracelet of the Phoenix. She then thought of Bao Siyu as she remembered what he had done. Smiling still, she didn't hate the kiss but smiled knowing that he at least cared for her. She didn't want to forget him as she smiled holding the bracelets to her chest.
