In the carriage, Ling Hua leaned against the wall, pondering her meeting today at the Rouge Building with the Thirteenth Lady.
For as long as she could remember, the Thirteenth Lady had been a gentle and demure woman. She had been saved by the previous owner of the Rouge Building when she was young and taken in as an adopted daughter. Following the former owner's demise due to sickness, the Rouge Building was passed down to her hands. At the same time, she was left enough manpower to establish herself as a woman, such as the current Steward of the Rouge Building, the matron, and a whole host of henchmen and bruisers, all of whom could ensure that she, a lone woman, would not be bullied.
She was skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. As the owner, she was also the living signboard of the Rouge Building. Unlike the other girls raised inside, she was an artist who did not sell her body.
