Joy of Life
A family inclined to kindness and charity would grace the descendants. Thanks to one small act of kindness, by providence she comes across a grateful friend; Fortunate that her mother, has done an unperceived good deed…. Men should rescue the distressed and aid the poor… Who would have guessed that kindness in this world ultimately would be the road that one must choose, that proverbial fork in the road? Clouds of rain float on eastern winds as new vines start to blossom. Though drums of war roar too loudly and their brilliance has been lost, a green grass carpet greets the sun by the break of morning. Let us wait for the yellow leaves, a few gourds are harvested.

The Bao Yue house was still in business. Word had spread amongst the populace about recent events, and it was quickly gaining notoriety as "the craziest brothel in the city". The people whispered about the Fan family fighting the second prince, and following that, all who were involved with the establishment were promptly taken back to the Fan manor and beaten with canes for hours. But then, that was all. But some concerned voices spoke of the Overwatch Council’s impotence in the affair, and some were saying that their watchful eyes were flagging, being unable to keep the sordid deeds of the Bao Yue house within their sights. Not long later, however, as the events winded down, so too did the people’s interest, for they thought it all to be over.
