On hearing his cousin's declaration, Mei Deng frowned, utterly disgusted by his perverted taste. His irritation grew worse when Shao Yŭxuān descended the balcony using the steps, to come claim his prize.
The Minister followed, holding him by the shoulder, "you see...Mu Tan isn't for that sort of entertainment... hehehe..." He nervously scratched the back of his head, still holding the whip.
"I had promised her dying father I would take care of her, see, even I haven't touched her yet." Minister Ma explained, his manner of approach made it clear he didn't want to piss off Shao Yŭxuān.
Why, Mei Deng wondered.
He knew that the Minister might be connected to Silver Swallow, but couldn't understand what was his cousin's role in it all.
Shao Yŭxuān stared daggers at the Minister, whose status far outwitted his, "are you telling me what to do?" He retorted harshly, slapping away the Minister's hand.
