My dear A-xin was a pure jade , he had his short comings and I could tolerate them because he also accommodated my short-comings. He was the quite shy type while I was a little more expressive. I knew as much as he loved me and I loved him there was no mountain we couldn't pass through.
One day two months after we had been blessed with the royal decree for marriage, I was embroidering my wedding veil when my kitchen servant was brought in and she broke the news.
"Mi…mis…miss… When I was coming from the market I saw …" the little teenager struggled to breathe in as if the words she wanted to say suffocated her making it hard for her to breathe.
When I saw how she was having it difficult, I poured her a cup of tea and signaled Susu to give it to her. It's not like I am that scary or anything, some people just get timid when they see me … all because of this charisma I have ah… so overwhelming!
"Calm down then speak." I urged as I continued embroidering my veil and when she was a bit calm she spoke.
" I saw young master Mu take young master Bai to the…"
Susu who was getting annoyed and impatient like me snapped.
"Speak up already! It's not like they went to the brothel or something."
The moment Susu mentioned the word "brothel" I felt like a string of nerve in my neck that goes up to the top of my head itch , that must have been the wrong nerve and I didn't think much of it because A-xin isn't that type of person either way I didn't like it. What was even more annoying was that after Susu mentioned the word the maid had flinched. Susu had also noticed it and so considering me being present and the issue being about me she gave a nervous laughter disbelief written on her face so her voice low and shaken she bent slightly towards the maid and as if she didn't want me to hear she asked to confirm.
"…there is no way, did he actually go to the brothel? "
I turned to look at the maid waiting for her to confirm that it wasn't but upon my gaze she nodded timidly confirming that it was indeed the truth.
A gush of hot blood rushed to my brain as something grew heavy in my stomach and throat and my eyes grew salty from anger. I released the heavy breath I didn't realize I was holding and along with it seeped my qi through my fingers and broke the monk's wood holding the veil I was embroidering.
Argh! That asshole Mu Dan , I told him to keep company A-xin so that he can stop hanging around that dumbass all the time but now he is taking my innocent honey to that filthy place . I should have seen this coming; just what kind of person is that Mu Dan … a block head who frequents the brothel. At our peak , me and the princess used to sneak out of the palace disguised as men and go out to play. One day we wanted to go see what was so special about the house of painted beauty – the name of the brothel. So we went but because there are always so many cases of wives going to cause trouble women were forbidden in that house that's why we thought our guise were perfect but the proprietress was passing by and with only one glance she saw through us and so she wanted us thrown out. That was when Mu Dan had interfered saying we were his friends and we will do no harm. The cake-faced middle aged woman was a bit reluctant but Mu Dan had slipped a piece of gold in her palm so she forced a smile nagged before leaving "then don't let them wonder around and cause trouble! " Later we met in the palace and turns out he was the vice-minister of finance's third son . Since there were many places we couldn't go by ourselves he would take us there and for that we became friends.
My dumbass cousin has a bad temper and works all time and my A-xin being so reserved I wanted him to see many other beautiful things in this world so I made Mu Dan befriend him and show him the world but that asshole just had to… argh!
If only I had obediently cultivated my qinggong as my paternal grandfather had instructed , right now I would have already reached that whore-house unfortunately I have to depend on this damned horse and these humans decided to create jam on the brothel route. I regretted as I looked around in search of a space I could penetrate and pass but there wasn't any so I got off my horse and made a run for it.
It had been ages since I last ran and so my first steps were heavy and draining but the more I thought about him being introduced to some perfume leaking , light clothed bitch my speed increased and I became as light as a feather. I didn't run for long till I reached my destination. My head was all fuzzy and mixed up so were my emotions. I decided to catch my breathe and calm down first before going in but then I saw Mu Dan walking out while talking to a man I had never seen before.
I couldn't believe it ! So he just brought my fiancé to this sinful place and he was leaving. Why was he leaving , to give them space or what? How dare he!
I stomped towards the entrance and as I drew near he also noticed me . Acting like he didn't know what was going on he smiled at me then begun walking towards me. 'What a disgusting smile that one is !' I had thought.
Mu Dan "Hey, what a plea…" -SLAP!
Then I proceeded to go in . As expected one guard came with an attempt to block me but I shoved him to the side.
I had guessed which room they would be in since Mu Dan had a specific room he liked and it was always reserved for him so charged towards it.
