Tough Princess : Once Upon A Brothel Chapter 24

“Mom, you don't have to worry about these things anymore. Lu'an and Wufu, you two will be in charge.”

“Anyone who doesn't want to stay and who has malicious intent like Ling Long can leave right now. With enough patience and money, I will sign an agreement with you, which suggests that we will have nothing to do with each other in case it will cause some trouble.”

“Those who are willing to stay should do their best for Blossoming Peach without any wicked ideas. Then I will satisfy your life.” Yang Zijin said seriously.

Lu'an and Wufu nodded simultaneously.

Somehow, Lu'an and Wufu were convinced about the remarks of their Young Master all the time. They thought that he always considered things thoroughly, although he was so young.

“Mom, you are responsible for the remaining girls. Please ask them what they are good at and write it down one by one. Please bear in mind, their names should be changed because the previous Spring Breeze has disappeared with the fire. Now we have to start again. I will not allow others to hurt us anymore.” Yang Zijin's eyes were deep with a posture of coming back.

Madam Yang nodded. Although she was a procuress who was earning money from these girls. But after all, she stayed with them for a long time. The more or less relations.h.i.+p made her not want to see these girls being killed or homeless.

It was around 4 p.m. Yang Zijin finished the order and was going to return to the mansion of Marquis. The city gate would close soon.

Madam Yang was worried about Zijin, so she asked Lu'an and Wufu to send her back to home.

Yang Zijin knew her mother's temper. If she didn't follow her, she would have to be worried, and Zijin simply agreed.

It was around 6 o'clock when Yang Zijin arrived at the mansion. Undoubtedly, Qiao Shu saw her.

During dinner time, Shuo Ling ordered Mo Li to call Young Master and Qiao Shu for dinner together.

When Yang Zijin arrived, Qiao Shu had already taken a seat. It was not confusing for Yang Zijin because she knew that it was just unrequited love from the gorgeous girl. What a pity!

Yang Zijin didn't even say h.e.l.lo, and started to eat immediately after sitting down. She was so hungry due to the efforts of the whole day.

She was from the shabby brothel. It was no wonder that she was so rude. Qiao Shu thought with more disdain. When she saw Shuo Ling's indifference, she felt more jealous of Yang Zijin.

Qiao Shu concealed her inner contempt for Yang Zijin and asked with a smile on her face, “Young Master, you are back. Just now, I saw that your friends took you back to the house. Maybe you have had fun today, do you enjoy it?”

Yang Zijin discovered that Shuo Ling's dark eyes glowed with cold light when heard Qiao Shu mentioning her friends. She felt a little nervous when Shuo Ling was staring straight at her.

Yang Zijin answered a few words simply, “Quite good.”

Qiao Shu became silent with satisfaction after realizing that her conspiracy had succeeded.

Everyone on the table was silent then.

Yang Zijin was busy for a day and was already exhausted. She wanted to take a hot bath and take a good night 's sleep, but she was afraid that the yard was full of men. If Marquis Shuo came to visit suddenly, he would take advantage of her. Therefore, she had to just freshen up, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

In the night, Shuo Ling entered into Yang Zijin's room promptly and quietly. He looked at Yang Zijin who was sleeping soundly, whose cherry mouth was slightly puffed. He could not help but kissed her.

Yang Zijin was suddenly awakened from a deep sleep. She kicked at the behemoth that was pressing on her out of instinct. Fortunately, Shuo Ling evaded quickly, otherwise he could not have a baby with her. But the baby is a long story.

After Yang Zijin had realized what had happened, she lost her temper and shouted to Shuo Ling like a lion with extreme hair, “Shuo Ling, are you crazy?”

“How do you know?” Shuo Ling looked at Yang Zijin playfully.

But soon Shuo Ling returned to normal, and asked a serious question, “Young Master, how is it going with your house?”

“If Marquis Shuo wants to know, go out and ask others. You don't need to ask me,” Yang Zijin was really angry and didn't say it deliberately.

Somehow, the more angry Yang Zijin was, the more attractive she was.

Shuo Ling turned around and pressed Yang Zijin to the bed again. He kissed her greedily and touched her body.

Yang Zijin shouted, “Shuo Ling, stop!”

Unexpectedly, Shuo Ling did stop.

Because he knew that if it goes on, Yang Zijin would inevitably hit his head with hers.

Yang Zijin breathed a sigh of relief. If Shuo Ling continued to come, she would have no choice.

The room was instantly quiet and the atmosphere was awkward.

“Ahem, just tell me how it is going with your house and where it is. I will show up when you move in.” Shuo Ling broke the embarra.s.sment firstly

“Why should I tell you?” Yang Zijin responded naturally.

“Because your mother has sold you to me. You are my bodyguard. Undoubtedly, you should tell me.” Shuo Ling said a little bit playfully.

“No. You said you bought me with just a piece of silver. You are kidding me!” Yang Zijin turned her head and no longer looked at Shuo Ling.

“Come on. You must tell me because I spent money on you.”

“No.”

…

After Shuo Ling left, Yang Zijin was sleepless and called the pigeons.

Shuo Ling saw a pigeon flying out of the Yang Zijin yard. He walked out of the study, jumped up and grabbed it.

He saw the letter saying, “Return after Being Ready.”

Shuo Ling smiled slightly. She was indeed the woman that he fell in love with. She had considerably working efficiency and did not forget to give everyone peace of mind afterward.

Yang Zijin was worried about the progress of the new house. How is it going in charge of Xian?

Yang Zijin got up early in the morning and walked to Shuo Ling 's courtyard. The cold guards on the way made Yang Zijin instantly feel embarra.s.sed. She arrived at Shuo Ling 's room soon without anyone coming to stop her.

Before she intended to knock the door, Shuo Ling opened it, pulled Yang Zijin in, and pinned her down. He looked at her jokingly, “Maybe you are missing me so much that you couldn't help but visit me in the morning.”

Bah. If there is nothing to ask you to help, I would rather never meet you again.

At this time Yang Zijin looked at Shuo Ling with a smile on her face, “Your lords.h.i.+p, please lend me someone good at etiquette.”

Indeed, she was asking him for help. Shuo Ling was pleased because at least the girl can think of asking him.

Concealing his excitement, Shuo Ling lowered his head and kissed Yang Zijin softly. There was indeed a Maid-in-Charge of Rites sent by the palace. However, since there was no waitress in the house, he arranged the maid in the partial courtyard of the mansion of Marquis.

Soon, the Maid-in-Charge of Rites was summoned, who looked like more than 40 years old. Perhaps these etiquettes had penetrated her soul so that she looked energetic and elegant.

“Ms. Li, the Young Master is your master from today,” said Shuo Ling with a slightly cold tone. He only smiled when speaking to Yang Zijin.

“Yes, my lord.” She bowed down slightly.

Since she came to the mansion of Marquis, she found that there was no maidservant in the house. She had nothing to do. In fact, she had not taught etiquette for a long time so that she would even forget the rites in mind if there was still no one to be taught.

The maid followed Yang Zijin to the new house. On the way, Yang Zijin generally introduced the girls to her.

The red lanterns on the eaves could be seen far away from the house. It seemed that Xian had worked efficiently.

With a smile on her mouth, Yang Zijin strode toward the new house.

The house has been vigorously constructed according to her requirements, which was elegant, sophisticated and comfortable with the indoor and outdoor scenes blended appropriately.

It was already around 8 p.m. and the girls of Spring Breeze would arrive.

After a few moments, Lu'an and Wufu ‘s voice was heard. There was also the exclamation of girls.

Seeing Yang Zijin there, the girls rushed in and surrounded her.

“Oh, our Young Master has the sharp eyes to find this beautiful place.”

“Yes. It's much bigger than the Spring Breeze before.”

“It seems that we are right to stay, Young Master, you should treat us well.”

Everyone laughed there.

The Maid-in-Charge of Rites saw these blabbered girls, frowning and screaming, “Stand in a row!”

The girls, who did not know the situation, were so scared that they closed their mouths in a hurry.

They all looked at Yang Zijin and whispered, “Who is she?”

Yang Zijin cleared her throat and said with a higher voice, “This is Ms. Li, who will teach you etiquette and rules in the future. You should follow her until mastering the rites and etiquette. The previous Spring Breeze has disappeared with the fire. Now the Blossoming Peach is making money on our own. Do you understand?”

Everyone nodded.

“I know that Madam Yang has changed your name for you. From now on, you must remember that you are not the cheap girl in the brothel. We have to start again. Of course, the beginning will be tough. It is not too late to leave, but once it begins, I hope everyone will stick to the end.” Yang Zijin said sternly.

She noticed that most of the girls were there. Since they stayed, she would not allow these girls to obey these stinky men as before, and making them see their value and charm.

“Young Master, we have born it in mind. Since we have chosen to stay, we absolutely don't want to be played with by those men. We will persevere regardless of the hards.h.i.+ps. Right, girls?” Yan Ran said with determinedly.

Everyone nodded.

“Well, Ms. Li. Now you are responsible for these girls.” Yang Zijin turned to look at the maid.

“Of course, Young Master. I will teach these girls all that I know,” Ms. Li said.

Yang Zijin still had something to do, so Lu'an and Wufu were called into the main hall with her.

As the saying goes, nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards. She wanted to establish the rules in the house.

They gathered together to discuss the ruleset.

Ms. Li had started to teach basic etiquette to the girls.

“When walking, you should look straight ahead with smiling, and do not look east. Cross your hands on your lower abdomen, take gentle steps, and walk softly. When someone comes in front, your hands should be stacked on your waist and your legs should be slightly bent. At the same time, lower your head and bend your upper body slightly forward,” she explained to the girls.

“All of these should be remembered clearly.” Ms. Li looked at the girls.

“Yes, Madam.” The girls answered gravely.

“Well, let's practice first. Everyone can rest after an hour of practice. Don't be lazy,” said Ms. Li strictly.

She then said, “Everyone lined up in a row with a distance of two people in between! You should step out. Slow down… Yeah… Go ahead… Well done…”

At first, the girls were full of enthusiasm. As time pa.s.sed slowly, a few girls slackened slightly. Their pace began to be disordered, and they became irritable.
