Thus, both the father and son deserved to die!
As for the rest of the Du family, Cai Wei didn’t plan on letting them go, but neither did she plan on taking their lives. She just released the remaining snakes into the central and eastern parts of the mansion, livening things up a bit for those pampered legitimate sons and grandsons living in the mansion...
In Brothel Lane, the most bustling area of the Capital, there is a brothel called ’Lian Xiang Pavilion’.
Wuchang Duke Jin Dapeng is reveling there, feasting and drinking with ladies on either side of him, while his greasy hands fondles two beauties.
A blushing woman, with every bone in her body seemingly softened, collapses into his embrace, clutching his shirt and coquettishly says, "Marquis, I heard that you are seeking marriage with the miss of Shaoguo Mansion today. If you marry her, will you stop cherishing us sisters?"
Jin Dapeng frees a sticky hand, pinches the pink face of the beauty and laughs heartily, "How could it be? Would Xian’er see me, the Duke, as someone who would be faithful to one woman? Hahaha, no matter whether I marry or not, my affection for you all will not lessen...".
Upon hearing this, Xian’er is busy pouring a glass of wine, and then holds it up to Jin Dapeng, pouting delicately and saying, "Marquis, please remember what you said today, or Xian’er will be sad!"
Jin Dapeng takes the wine and quickly gulps it down. He wipes his mouth and says, "Rest assured, I, the Duke, am especially kind to women and would never let you down!"
"Thank you, Marquis!"
The two beauties, promised by Jin Dapeng, snuggled into his embrace, flirting with him in various ways.
The door creaks open, and two maids walk in, both disdaining to make a sound with their footsteps, and they quickly arrive at side of the couch.
Jin Dapeng, in high spirits, is too busy with his lust to notice that something is wrong with the two maids. He is suddenly interrupted and states angrily, "Damn maid, who let you in to serve, get out!"
However, the two maids act as if they haven’t heard him and arrive beside the couch, suddenly lifting their heads.
These two girls are not from Lian Xiang Pavilion, their faces are completely unfamiliar!
However, before the two beauties could shout, the maids with innocent faces made their move. With a swipe, they knocked the two blushing beauties onto the couch. For the time being, they seemed unconscious.
Jin Dapeng was startled, sobering up from his drunkenness. He opened his mouth to yell, but one of the maids was quicker. A glint of silver flashed, and a thin short knife was held against his neck, she coldly ordered: "Shut up!"
After saying that, she drove the blade a few notches into his flesh and ominously warned, "If the Marquis dares to yell, I assure you that you won’t be able to make a sound in this lifetime!"
Jin Dapeng was scared out of his wits, stuttering, "Wh- who are you? You have to know, killing a prince will result in the execution of your nine clans. I advise you to let me go. As long as you release me, I won’t pursue this matter and I can even give you silver..."
With a dull thud, Jin Dapeng weakly fell. A dark-skinned maid sneered, "Stupid dog, publicly insulted our master, and thought that giving some silver can resolve this. Don’t you know that the least lacking thing for our master is silver?"
