Miss Lu stood behind the screen, twisting her hands in front of her.
Listening to Zhu Pingniang's words, she thought to herself that her sister was at it again.
Zhu Pingniang always liked to ask the girls entering the Flower Moon Building about their wishes, and almost every girl she acknowledged couldn't escape this process.
Don't misunderstand, Zhu Pingniang wasn't some do-gooder who would actively help the girls fulfill their wishes.
She simply asked.
Miss Lu once asked Zhu Pingniang why she did it... the answer she received only made her more certain her sister was a "bad woman."
According to Zhu Pingniang, the act of reflecting on wishes in the Flower Moon Building was essentially no different from recounting painful pasts, except one is remembering pain, and the other is entrusting hopes for the future.
But in most cases, one could catch a glimpse of a courtesan's past from the things she wished for.
