The day the two met

A young beautiful maiden, her attitude, and free personality automatically draw men from all over, Jia Shang being one of them. He courts her continuously but seeing that he could not capture Li Wei’s heart. He decided to go for a different method.

“Apologies Dear maiden for it seems that I have lost my mind for a moment. May I invite you to my humble manor as an apology?”

Jia Shang says as he extends his hand hoping to be able to see what the beautiful maiden in front of him looks like charmed. His eyebrows raise up unintentionally and the corner of his lips began to curl upwards.

Li Wei looks at him with an inquisitive glare. “No need to glare at me.” Jia Shang says as he lets out a laugh his elegant aura fills the air as many citizens and even shop merchants began to look over. Whispering to themselves and others around them. The servant behind Li Wei stands her ground as she comes in front of her master. “Please leave!” She says as her anger continues to rise for her master. How could there be someone so shameless! To touch someone like my master without permission and then have the audacity to try and court my master. This is truly too shameless!

Seeing that a maid began to intrude in his conversation with the young maiden Jia Shang raises his brow. Oh? This beauty actually has a maid with her. She must be from a decent family, Jia Shang looks up slightly at the maid before him. “Hmm, your eyes are quite dazzling. Has anyone ever told you that?” Jia Shang says as he reveals a smile and places his hand on the maid servant’s chin as he lifts the maid’s chin upwards while glancing eye to eye at the servant. He begins to laugh once more “Haha! My apologies, it seems I got too carried away. Hm well beauty, if you ever want to, the Jiang palace will always be open to you and your maidservant.” As he let go of the maid servant’s chin he signaled to his guard that he wanted to leave. He turned his back towards the pair that he had just talked to as he waved goodbye. While walking away he muttered “Beautiful people should stick together” though this was not heard by many. Li Wei has better hearing than most and she managed to hear what Jia Shang had said but she did not get too frustrated for it was something else that had gotten her attention. “Did he just say Jiang palace?” She said as she turned to the side to ask her maid while her eyebrow rose slightly. “Yes, master. He did say Jiang palace you heard correctly.” The maidservant replied while bowing respectfully to her master. “You know what this means don’t you?” Li Wei said as she began thinking of what to do. “Sorry master, I’m afraid I do not.” The maid replied while she stood up respectfully. “You can stop pretending little Xia!” Li Wei replied cheerfully “haha you can fool anyone except me because I know for a fact you're smarter than that!” She looked at her maid and started pinching her maid servant’s cheeks. “Master. I know I was wrong! I won’t do it again even if I was to be killed if I didn't!” The maid said as she dropped down and know-towed to her master this resulting to her beginning to bleed. “Quickly quickly get up! There is no need for this! You weren’t the one at fault, I know you want to seem dumb but you know that you don’t have to act like that when you're with me.” Li Wei smiled as she helped Little Xia up and as they both supported each other while walking together like a pair of best buds.

Two guards moved from tree to tree both in different directions. In just a few minutes the guards had arrived at their master's manor. “Master, you were right. She’s here in the shopping district. And she’s with that maid, their relationship seems to be very close.” The guard kneeled in front of his master, “Hmm, alright. Continue on standby.” A voice chilling enough to freeze even the toughest people replied. “Why are you still here?” The voice asked, “Uh forgive this servant but are we not going to appear in front of the maiden.” The knight said as he began to shiver, he had been serving his master for so many years but he still couldn’t withstand his master's oppression. The voice did not speak a few seconds passed and “do you know what you have done wrong?” The voice asked; the knight’s heart stopped for a split second. Asking that was truly too big of a mistake! Seems like I won't be getting my cake. The knight thought as he began to lecture himself over and over in his mind. “I shouldn’t have read too much into it! This servant will revive his punishment.” The knight began to walk towards the door hastily and just as he was going to open the door by the handle the chilling voice replied “It is not the right time for us to appear. 30 whiplashes as punishment. ” The knight stopped in his tracks but only for a moment, he continued on out of the room. After coming out of his master's room and closing the doors he stopped once again, this time he dropped down to the ground replaying the moment that had happened. His master one of the scariest people anyone could ever meet actually spoke a second reply and he actually didn't kill him for being a loudmouth. In all of history, no one has ever been able to get a second reply from his master without dying. “What. Just. Happened.”
