Heavenly Meteor, Crossing into the Imperial Concubine

  Xiao Shuai took An Weixin straight to the Fengxiang pawnshop. As soon as they entered, before the shop assistant could speak, An Weixin asked: "I'm asking you, did a young girl come today to pawn a silver circular pendant?"

  The fellow thought for a moment and finally remembered, "Yes, yes, there was such a thing."

  "Where's that pendant?" An Wei asked excitedly, grabbing her partner's collar.

  The fellow was startled by An Weixin's words and forgot to answer for a moment. The little servant who led the way for An Weixin, seeing that her face was somewhat displeased, hastily reminded him: "My young master is asking you something."

  Thanks to his reminder, the shop assistant finally came back to his senses. "That... that pendant was just redeemed by Young Master Liu an hour ago."

  "Which Liu young master?"

  "It's the young master of the Liu family, Liu Zhide, son of Minister of Revenue Liu."

  "Young master, this Liu Gongzi is a small thing, he is born with a good color, every day at this time he will go to Hui Chun Building."

  "Brothel?"

  "Yes."

  "Take me with you!"

  "Yes, young master this way, please." The little servant didn't hesitate at all, and it was as if he was completely devoted to An Wei. He didn't even think about whether she should be going to that kind of place or not.

  It was already the hour of You, and the sky had long since darkened. The young servant led An Weixin on a winding path to Hui Chun Lou. Without saying a word, An Weixin rushed inside. The person at the door only saw a shadow before she disappeared from view. An Weixin felt overwhelmed by the scent of cosmetics and perfume, which made her want to sneeze. In the main hall, many men and women were embracing and caressing each other, but An Weixin didn't have time to pay attention to them. She scanned the room and spotted a madam in her thirties or forties.

  "Where is Liu Zhide?"

  The old procuress saw that An Weixin was quite unfamiliar, thinking it was her first time here. She covered her face with a smile and then flicked her handkerchief, releasing a pungent fragrance that wafted towards An Weixin. An Weixin suppressed the disgust in her heart and patiently waited for a response.

  "Ah, this young master looks unfamiliar, is it your first time here? Mom will find a few clever girls to serve you, guaranteed to make you feel comfortable and at ease."

  An Wei's face turned cold, revealing a hint of impatience. The young servant beside her quickly spoke up: "Mother, my master is a friend of Liu Gongzi and had an appointment to meet him here. Please tell us where Liu Gongzi is?"

  The old woman looked at An Weixin and Liu Gongzi with some confusion. "I didn't hear that Young Master Liu had invited anyone?"

  The young servant heard this and took out a silver ingot to give to the old procuress. "Mother, think again, maybe you're mistaken?"

  The old procuress weighed the silver, stuffed it into her bosom and, with a face as calm as a chrysanthemum, said: "Oh dear, my memory is really bad! Mr. Liu did indeed make an appointment, in the second floor's Chrysanthemum Pavilion. You two please go ahead, I still have to attend to other guests." After finishing speaking, she turned her fat buttocks and shook her fan as she walked away.

  An Wei's eyes swept over the young servant and asked: "What is your name?"

  The little servant replied in a low voice: "Returning to the princess, I am Yang Shuang."

  An Wei nodded and walked towards the second floor, with Yang Shuang following respectfully behind her. After searching for a while, they found the chrysanthemum pavilion, and An Weixin didn't care what the people inside were doing, she directly pushed open the door and walked in. Inside, there was a man and a woman, and it was obvious that the man was Liu Zhide.

  Liu Zhide saw someone coming in and was somewhat annoyed. "Who are you!"

  An Wei didn't beat around the bush and directly asked, "Were you redeeming a pendant at Fengxiang Pawnshop this afternoon?"

  Liu Zhide looked at An Weixin with some confusion and asked: "How did you know?"

  "It seems I have it, where is that pendant?"

  "Mind your own business! Stop ruining my mood, get out! Get out quickly!" Liu Zhide impatiently chased An Weixin out.

  At this time, the woman who had been blocked by Liu Zhide suddenly rushed out and knelt down at An Weixin's feet, hugging her legs with a pitiful expression, begging: "Young master, please save me! Please!" An Weixin frowned, not wanting to get involved in other people's business. If it were usual times, she would have helped, but now she didn't have the mood for it. However, as she inadvertently lowered her head, she saw that the woman - or rather, girl - had her necklace around her neck.

  An Wei Xin squatted down, pointing at the necklace and said: "Give this to me, and I'll help you." The girl was stunned for a moment, then quickly took off the necklace and handed it over to An Wei Xin. An Wei Xin took the necklace and examined it, finding that it was undamaged. Her gloomy mood suddenly lifted.

  On one side, An Wei Xin was delighted, but on the other side, someone was unhappy. Liu Zhi De rushed over and grabbed the girl, slapping her with his hand. The girl's pale face instantly showed five finger marks. "You stinky bitch! You think it's your good fortune that I'm interested in you? Do you think someone will save you? Dream on! I gave you things because I looked up to you, but you're shameless and dare to give them to that little white face in front of me! Am I dead or what?" He slapped the girl again, who bit her lip tightly and didn't dare make a sound, casting a pleading glance at An Wei Xin.

  Liu Zhide turned around and confronted An Weixin, "You little white face! How dare you flirt with someone in front of me? Are you tired of living? Do you know who I am? I'm the youngest son of Liu Shangshu! If you anger me, you'll be sorry!"

  An Wei's heart was cold as she sneered at Liu Zhide, who thought she was afraid and became even more arrogant. "Hand over Master's things immediately and kneel down to kowtow three times, Master will spare your lives. Otherwise..."

  "What if not?" An Wei asked in a very cooperative tone.

  "Otherwise, I'll make sure you can't just swallow and walk away!"

  "Oh?" An Weixin played with the whip in her hand, suddenly lashing out at Liu Zhide. Liu Zhide didn't expect her to make such a sudden move and was frightened into a daze, forgetting to react. The whip seemed to have eyes, dodging around Liu Zhide and striking the bottle behind him. With a loud "crack", the bottle shattered on the ground. Liu Zhide was also startled back to his senses, looking at An Weixin with a terrified expression, all his previous bravado gone.

  "You, you..."

  "You're the kind of official's son that I, Young Master, despise the most. You look so disgusting and yet you have the nerve to harm innocent girls. Originally, I was in a good mood and didn't want to bother with you, but since you're so ignorant and insist on provoking me... now, kneel down and kowtow three times to me, and I might consider forgiving you. Otherwise... you'll have to suffer a bit!" An Wei Xin cracked her whip again, this time near Liu Zhide's feet, making him jump in fright. "Hurry up! Young Master's time is very precious!"

  "You, you..."

  "What are you, hurry up!" An Wei's whip lashed out, the tip brushing against Liu Zhide's face as he fell to his knees and started kowtowing.

  "Ah, spare your old subordinate's life, I was wrong! I didn't recognize Mount Tai when I saw it!"

  An Weixin put away the whip. "Well done, you can roll out of here!" Liu Zhide heard this and rolled out of the room in a hurry, "Let's go, let's go back!" An Weixin was in a good mood, no longer with the vicious look she had when whipping Cui Die. With her hands behind her back, humming a tune, taking big strides, she prepared to head back to the Wang Fu. Just as she took two steps, the girl from earlier knelt down in front of her.

  "Master, please save me! Please help me get out of here!" An Wei's heart ached as he looked at the tear-stained face of the girl, feeling somewhat troubled. Rescuing someone would require a ransom, and a ransom would require silver coins, but she had just pawned all her silver jewelry, leaving her penniless.

  "That's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I really don't have the silver to ransom you." An Wei Xin looked embarrassed, and when the girl heard this, her eyes dimmed. Just as An Wei Xin was about to reach out to help her up, she suddenly stood up with a jerk and pushed An Wei Xin away, then rushed towards the window. An Wei Xin didn't have time to get up and hastily shouted: "Quickly stop her!" Yang Shuang reacted extremely quickly, and with one swift movement, he caught her and brought her down, the two of them rolling around on the ground in a heap. Only when An Wei Xin saw that she was unharmed did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

  "What are you doing? Are you threatening me?" An Wei Xin said with a somewhat unpleasant tone. The girl, who had failed to find death, sat on the ground and burst into tears. An Wei Xin rolled her eyes speechlessly, she was most afraid of women crying, once they started crying, it would never end, and what's more, she simply didn't know how to comfort people.

  An Wei's eyes turned to Yang Shuang for help, but unfortunately, this time Yang Shuang couldn't help her either. He was a rough man and had no way with women. Yang Shuang turned his head away, pretending not to see An Wei's pleading gaze. An Wei really wanted to just leave it at that, but she was also afraid that the girl would try to kill herself again. Although she didn't have any responsibility, her conscience wouldn't be clear either.
