6 SHAMELESS (2/2)
A small chuckle left the general's lips. Not a stray of suspicion flashed to betray her current expression.
”Oh I see. Go back to your darling fiance and make love. Stop spouting lies and bear some noisy kids instead.” Thankfully, Wei Xia Ri's way of speaking differed little from the previous.
In exchange, some jaws were unhinged 'How vulgar!'
”... You... I'll make you pay for the smallest grievances you make. You are too audacious.”
Wei Xia Ri lived the adult life in another world already where people everywhere can potentially be dangerous, showing emotions especially at work would usually cause a downfall. Hiding her emotions without letting out a crack has become her Forte, only an experienced working person can have. Keep smiling and do your job!
Therefore she confidently tilted her head sidewards and looked at the woman with a ridiculed gaze. A taunting smirk pulled one side of her lips and she scoffed. ”You... What are you going to do about it? I initially wanted to make peace with you but here you are throwing your brains out of your mouth! You talk and spit your intelligence out. What a shame.”
”...” The prince's woman remained silent. Suddenly, Wei Xia Ri had a funny premonition-- 'Could this girl be some vengeful transmigrator, an assassin and a doctor at the same time? LOL WHAT THE HELL. She does give the vibes!'
Nevertheless, Wei Xia Ri still had a face to keep up. ”I'll do the talking alright. You, you, you, you, all of you,” but her eyes did not leave the fifth prince' s woman, ”I am heading to my brothel. Why don't you turn to the bright side and come with me instead?”
”...”
”Okay then, make way because this owner needs to save her people!” Though Wei Xia Ri had no intention to stain her hands, her face was as evil as ever. She had such an indifferent expression but contrasted by her menacing eyes. As she walked towards the entrance of the brothel, the assassins stood aside warily. They let her go but followed behind her, besides, their employer was with them and seemed to not hold any further hostilities after the quick spar.
'what did she mean by save her people?' Yu Xuan Xuan wondered.
Wei Xia Ri finally found the Flowers Pavillion that stood next to her General's Den casino. From the previous memories, it was such a business that she bragged about. Yet here stood a dilapidated building.
Not a word left her mouth and she marched in. There, a pretty woman in her forties welcomed them with a charming smile. She stood straight and clasped her small hands together. Her pink clothes were unwrinkled and flowed like a veil on the wooden floor. With that, she followed with, ”Welcome back, General!”

Wei Xia RI nodded wordlessly as she scanned the interior. It was a four story building with the most common structure as any other ancient buildings. It was simple and uninteresting in her eyes. The best thing to see was the thin, colorful yards of cloth that were used for decor to feminize the building.
She sighed. ”Kick out all the customers today and bring all of our people to the foyer now.”
The Flower Pavillion's host quickly nodded and called out the servants to announce the job. Yet as soon as they saw the tyrant, a look of fright and delight could be seen in their faces.
Nevertheless, it did not take a long for a small group of mostly male customers were showed out. Wei Xia Ri waited for their aggressive protests but it seemed like the customers knew how to behave well.
However, Yu Xuan Xuan was cautious and memorized their faces as they passed by.
Then finally, men who either looked like part of the small security team and some were servants gathered onto one side. On the other hand, women of different ages stood beside each other with their servant girls. It was easy to distinguish their status judging by their appearance. Wei Xia Ri herself was no fool and saw such unfair reality in the room.
”Has everyone gathered?” Wei Xia Ri asked.
”General, we are still bringing down the sick Lady Meng,” said the hostess.
”Alright, let's wait a little.”
Meanwhile, Yu Xuan Xuan kept her silence but watched with utmost curiosity about how this tyrant was going to 'save' her people for as far as she knew, Wei Xia Ri herself was the one who lead their downfall after failing to return on time from the battle.
As they waited in silence, a sudden knock on the door from the outside echoed in the silent foyer. The hostess looked at the bright sun's rays and then at Wei Xia Ri with a knowing gaze. ”General,” she began.
”Who is it?”
”It's that unruly boy again,” the hostess sighed.
Wei Xia RI turned to look at the entrance and given that she stood on an elevated podium near the window, she was able to see a young man dressed like a peacock and stood confidently before the entrance. A small smile played on his pretty lips that made Wei Xia Ri's eyes glow. She suddenly wondered what his skills were and if he was a tolerable person. Yet judging from the hostess' expression, the youth though attractive was a pain in the butt.
”Let him in, it's good for more people to come for marketing reasons,” the general simply answered. Yet the glow in her eyes was undeniable.
The hostess, Luo Ning, has been tolerating the boy coming in and out of their brothel for so long. It was either to make trouble by flirting with the girls or being too wilfull by trying to meet their most sought out courtesans. Yet when she saw the tyrant's interested gaze, her stomach was suddenly filled with butterflies. 'Finally, his time has come.'
”As you say, general.”
While Lady Meng was carried downstairs on a makeshift bed, the young man was brought in.
