LEYAN
Aunt Rou Xia gave me a loud slap when she quickly came in front of me. I felt the redness on my cheek where she slapped me and I even heard Ma Feng Yi laughed.
"Zheng Le Yan even though i am disgusted with your ugly face i didn't ruin it, didn't i? But why would you ruin my most precious business?! You sold all my properties in my brothel and now the men you solded it to came to me and i'm being asked to leave. What am I going to do now? Answer me Zheng Le Yan?! " Aunt Rou Xia shouted as she gasped in anger as she stared and pointed at me.
"I'm not doing anything, I'm not at fault and my conscience is clear I didn't sell your properties, Aunt Rou Xia. Ma Feng Yi and Ma You Li framed me up, I went to your brothel because they called me but I don't think that at that time they will sold all your properties. Ask them because I am not at fault. " I replied while looking at the two sisters who acted innocent in front of their Mother. "We're not doing anything, Mother, and why would we do that because we know that your business is important to you?" Ma You Li said that made me frowned while listening to her. "You're lying, Ma You Li! You know I'm not at fault! You know who the real culprit is so tell the truth!"
I shouted because I was so angry with Ma You Li's lying, but she just turned to me and regretted it. "We're not at fault and ... everything I say is the truth." Ma You Li full of confidence said that made me secretly clenched my fist. How could they lie? How could they frame me? I never did anything bad to the both of them, all i did is love them just like my Father told me but why would they do this to me?
They said they respect their Hero, Zheng Ru Hui that's why they want to see him badly but how could they want to meet him so bad when all they did is hurt their Hero.
I was never humilliated like this in my whole life, i am the Hero of Li States! I looked at Ma You Li with too much elegance and confidence in herself, i looked at Ma Feng Yi laughing with the pain i am bearing, i looked at Aunt Ma Rou Xia angrily looking and grinning her teeth, i looked at all our Mansion Maids at Guards looked at me with all of their pities in their eyes.
I don't need anyones pity, i could fight back if i want to. I can the three of them in just one move, but my Father's voice keep ringing in my head. "Zheng Le Yan, in almost a year of my stay here at Zheng Mansion i considered you as my daughter but will you repay my kindness this way?" Aunt Rou Xia said that made me bitterly smiled while still holding the flute in the two of my hands.
She considered me as her daughter, that's so sweet of her. Is laughing my face a way of a mother's love? Is bullying my kindness another way of saying i love you? Is commanding me like i am a maid the definition of love?
"Laugh at me whenever you want, command me with all your might but you cannot tell me that you considered me as your own daughter because that is disgusting. I have a Mother and it is not you, my Mother is never like you. My Mother isn't a whore." i said that made all of their mouth parted because of shock on what i just said.
"W-Whore? So you're telling me i am a whore?!" Aunt Rou Xia shouted with her face full of anger and unbeliefs. "Aren't you? Before you became Madam Ma Rou Xia of Phoenix Brothel you were one of the women paid for just one night? Ma Rou Xia you were a disgusting prostitute.. aren't you?"
"Zheng Le Yan!" Ma You Li shouted for me to stop talking i smiled and looked at her. "Sister You Li, i am just speaking the truth just as what you want us to do. W-Why are you shouting at me? D-Did i do something wrong?" i said while smiling and acting like i was just bullied, the anger of Ma You Li just raised while looking at me.
"Zheng Le Yan you bitch! My Mother isn't a prostitute take back what you just said now or i'll tell Uncle Yi that you just bullied all of us." Ma Feng Yi said while pointing her finger on me. "I never said anything wrong, i'll never take it back."
"Yan'Er is this what i'll witness coming back home from work?" a voice on the side that made my eyes widen with shock, i slowly turned my head and just as i expected it is indeed the Emperor's most trusted person and Military Counselor, Zheng Luo Yi, My Father.
"Uncle Yi!" Ma Feng Yi shouted and run towards my Father's side. "Uncle Yi, Sister Le Yan keeps on bullying us we just asked her about what happened because she sold my mother's precious business. We are keeping our manner and also kindness towards her but she keeps denying and she keeps bullying not just us sisters but also Mother this isnso unacceptable Uncle Yi. Please give us justice." Ma Feng Yi said and started crying while Ma Rou Xia also run towards my Father and she hugged him while crying.
"Lord Yi, please guve us the justice we deserve." Aunt Rou Xia said while hugging my Father's arm. "Zheng Le Yan humilliated all of us and i won't accept it, we won't give her kindness Uncle Yi please give us your judgement." Ma You Li also said that made me step back, all of them conspired at me they want me out of the Zheng Mansion. They are framing me!
"I didn't do anything, Father, please investigate this matter throughly i never did anything wrong."
"Men, take Lady Le Yan down.. and lock her in our Mansion Cell. Chain her handa feet and even her neck, if you could chain her whole body do it." Father said that made the two guards walked towards me and hold both my arm and they let me kneeled in the floor that made me let go of the flute i am holding. My eyes widen in shock i can't believe this, even Father's eyes is saying he doesn't believe me at all.
"Father! Please investigate througly, you know that i can't possibly do that!" i shouted while being forced to kneel.
"You neglected your duties as Lady Zheng, you need to be punished for everything you've caused." Father said that made my lips parted. Humilliation is eating me, i looked at all the people staring at me, even Ma You Li is just standing proudly like she didn't do anything wrong.
"You think this two men can do their jobs properly? You know what i can do, this two men isn't enough to handle me at all. I can kill them without even sweating." i said while seriously looking at my Father's eyes, worry consumed him and he looked at our Mansion Guards who is lining in the side. "Guards, all of you must hold that woman down you can't let her escape you... she's dangerous."
YOULI
"She's dangerous." i whispered to myself while looking at the mirror while i am combing my hair, it is already night but Uncle Yi called all of us to prepare because he wants us to witness how he'll punish Zheng Le Yan to what she did. But i can't let my guard down because Uncle Yi's voice while saying that is screaming like she's a monster without all of us knowing.
"You sisters! I know that you did all of that just to get rid of Zheng Le Yan but why would you use my brothel?!" Mother nagged while she is also in my room together with Feng Yi. "Mother, if you know it you could stop nagging now i mean Uncle Yi gave it back to you didn't he?" Feng Yi said while putting accesories in her head, she is wearing a luxury green robe that came from the East. While i am wearing a red robe full of designs.
"Why are both of you nagging each other? Aren't all of you curious, to what just Uncle Yi said to Zheng Le Yan? He is scared in Zheng Le Yan and that is obvious because he even called her dangerous what does that suppose to mean?" i said and turned around to look at them, they stopped and started thinking. "Speaking of that a year ago when i am about to enter the Zheng Mansion as Zheng Luo Yi's wife he actually whispered something. 'Don't let Zheng Le Yan angry.' so first i thought Zheng Le Yan is a spoiled rotten and mad kind of Lady but she's just weak."
Don't let Zheng Le Yan angry? This is getting more complicated, Zheng Le Yan aren't a real monster right?
