We could not even fathom what type of torture he went through because he was a shell of this former self. He was so pale and thin, so thin that he looked almost transparent. There was bruises and cuts everywhere the eye can see, when walking on the stage he walked with a limp that was never there before.
Many of his fingers and teeth were missing because when he spoke he had a lisp that was also never there before. We just stood there, doing nothing. We could have done nothing when his head rolled off the stage and his blood soaked our clothes.
Next, it was our baby sister's turn. That same day we over heard a commoner couple talking about her. We were happy at first that she did not die but she suffered worse than death. By the time we found her she was already dead along with our mother.
She was thrown out of the prison with only her inner robe on, beaten, raped by over 20 men and left for death. We almost died many times and yet we never do. So, we decided to travel to a different country because all this time the imperial guards were still looking for us and since we no longer had anyone in Mayuan, it did not matter if they leave.
It has been five years since then and now we are 20 years old. Today is our birthday and we both decided to steal a jade hairpin to sale so that we could buy something good to eat. However, we were kicked and beaten out but thank buddha, we actually were able to steal something valuable.
Yet, before we could celebrate, we were found out by a beautiful woman in a wheelchair. At first, we thought that she would call the shopkeeper back, but she surprises us by actually coming toward us and ask the question that we have never heard before.
"Do you want to live?"
We hesitate for a second because of everything we went through we know that there is nothing free without a price. But anything was better than wearing rages every day, not been able to have a bath in years and been unable to eat every day and even when they do eat, they were never full. So, without thinking further they immediately agree.
"Yes!"

"Let's go", I declare to both Mulan and Yuesu.
"Yes Miss", responded Mulan and Yuesu, looking at me curiously
"What is it?" I added after raising my right hand indicting for them to stop.
"Miss, why did you take in those beggars?" Yuesu finally verbalize her inter thoughts
"Yes Miss, aren't they just two smelly beggars?" said Mulan, trying to not to convey her jealousy and unwillingness.
I realize that these servants of mine are very unstable because of their quickness to get jealous of every little thing I do if it's not for them. I frown when I heard what Mulan and Yuesu said and my brows frown deeper when I came to this awareness.
"What do you care why I take in beggars, is it your money I am wasting. Are you the Miss or me? Also, don't you notice that those two beggars are not so simple. What beggars do you know, knows martial arts and still is a beggar…unless they chose to be because they are hiding from someone or something. However, I could use this to my advantage, now do you understand?" I said while looking straight ahead.
"Your servant knows what they did wrong, please punish me as you see fit" replied both Mulan and Yuesu while dropping to their knees, giving a huge bow and hitting their head on the road.
They did this until the skin on their forehead were split and bleeding. I let them do this for 3 more minutes before allowing them to stand.
"Stand up, no need to be so courteous" I commented while glancing at them at the corner of my eyes.
Both Yuesu and Mulan felt like crying but had no tears because they know that they were in the wrongs. They already have an understanding of their Miss but because of their curiosity and envy, they lost the sight of what was in front of them for a minute and question their Miss decision which they would never do again because again they fathom how scary their First Miss is.
They keep forgetting that their Miss is no longer that simple minded, kind and battle crazy girl from before yet, it should not be so because time and time again she has showed us how strict and cruel she can be.
I (This First Miss), on the other hand had to make spectacles in front of these servants time and time again to make them realize that I am no longer that stupid yet kind Xiaoyu that they know. When are they going stop disappoint me?
They Fam!!
