"No, that's not the way.

"Go in harder.

"Give it that thrust.

"When you feel that you've reached the end, tilt and turn the angle.

"That would make it feel good."

Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Yue Xin were in the main hall, sitting in a row, slouching over the table with a brush in their hands.

They were making copies of the rules that Lin Xuan Qi had given them.

Yue Jie held onto Xue Cong's hand, guiding her with the brush to write a character that Xue Cong didn't know how to write.

Her bosom pressed against Xue Cong's body.

Making Xue Cong feel flushed and shy.

Yue Xin, who was also making a copy of the house rules, sulked and gave out a long sigh.

It was tedious and boring.

She should be learning martial arts and trying to save and avenge her father instead.

Her sigh caught Yue Jie's attention.

"Do what Master Lin has told you to."

"But sister, this is pointless..." Yue Xin said and lowered her head.

Yue Jie excused herself from Xue Cong and came over to Yue Xin's side.

"Master Lin was kind enough to allow us to visit father.

"You had better be grateful to him.

"If we were sold to other young masters, we might be...."

Yue Xin locked her eyebrows, tilted her head and asked, "We might be what?"

Yue Jie was stumped for words, and she glanced over at Xue Cong for help.

It caught Xue Cong by surprise, and Xue Cong could only shake her head at her.

Her mother hadn't taught her the ways between men and women as compared to Yue Jie who had close friends that were married.

They would gossip and spread around nuggets of knowledge here and there.

Yue Xin blinked her eyes at Yue Jie waiting for an answer.

"Well, you know... We would be forced to do that thing." Yue Jie lowered her head and said softly.

"What thing? You make it sound so dirty." Yue Xin shrugged and said.

"Dirty... Yes, those young masters would force us to do dirty things. Be glad that we get to be treated kindly and fairly by Master Lin."

Yue Jie grabbed onto the chance to squirm her way out of it.

"Fine. But when would we get to see father?" Yue Xin said, and it was Yue Jie's turn to give out a long sigh.

"I will check with Uncle Lee. You better complete the task of making ten copies of the rules." Yue Jie said and wanted to get up from her seat.

Just as she was about to do so, Lee He Song entered the main hall.

"Uncle Lee." Yue Jie and Yue Xin greeted him.

Lee He Song nodded at them, glanced at them with his eyes turning teary.

He had known them since they were young, and it was difficult for him to see them like this.

They were once like pearls on their father's palm.

And yet, here they were.

The only consolation for him was that Lin Xuan Qi kept his promise to take care of the sisters.

If he were their father, he would try and get Lin Xuan Qi to marry them.

That would ensure that the sisters would lead a comfortable life after he and their father were gone from this world.

His aging body was giving him signs that the end might be near for him.

"I shall be visiting your father a few days later, after Master Lin settles the stuff for the factories.

"Come with me if you want to." Lee He Song said.

Now that he had permission from Lin Xuan Qi, it was time for them to see each other.

"Really?" Yue Xin stood up excitedly when she heard what Lee He Song had said.

The ink on the brush she was holding dripped onto the piece of paper that she was writing on.

She glanced down and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

There was good news of being able to see her father soon, and there was also bad news for her to redo copying the rules.

Yue Jie shook her head at Yue Xin and said, "Haven't I told you to try and be more graceful."

She was worried about the future of Yue Xin, still behaving like a young mistress at times.

Yue Xin sat down and tried to wipe the splotch of ink away from the paper.

But it only made it worse; her hands were also smudged by it.

Lee He Song shook his head at her and said, "You be more mature.

"You might think that there's more than enough time to do so.

"But time might just pass you by in the blink of an eye."

Being young, Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Yue Xin didn't know what he meant by it, and they just nodded politely.

He saw their reaction, shook his head, gave out a sigh and said, "There will be new servants that you must manage soon, like tomorrow.

"You can't be behaving the same as you wish now."

His words reminded them of what Lin Xuan Qi had tasked them to do.

They nodded their heads in silence.

Xue Cong was worried that she wasn't authoritative enough.

She was lucky that Yue Jie and Yue Xin didn't give her many issues.

But if the new servants were to go against her, it might be a test for her.

Yue Jie and Yue Xin had dealt with servants before, but it was when they were the young mistresses in the house.

Things might not be as easy since they were servants themselves.

"Prepare whatever you want to bring for the visit.

"Your father must be missing some of his favorite foods.

"Or try to get him something that could remind him of both of you in the prison.

"I shall let you know when the day comes."

Lee He Song reminded them that it wasn't a walk in the park for their father in the prison.

Best for them to be prepared.

Yue Jie and Yue Xin glanced at each other and nodded their heads.
