These two days old lady Gong spent her days in bleakness as Su Mi never called for her and without master which servant will consider her. They didn't even allow her a room. Like a dog she slept outside and kitchen scraps were sent over in the same way.
Eating gravel these two days slapped reality on her face many time she thought to go back to Go mansion but if she went back no one will accept her and in this place she had kitchen scraps to eat but outside she would starve to death.
Every morning she would ask girls around the brothel to remind Su Mi about her but these two days no one came for her. Finally desperate she sneakily reached Su Mi's room in fourth floor that was residential place for high end prostitutes and Su Mi got the. room near Lin Hua.
With hesitation she knocked the door, her hands shaking with the fear of how Su Mi would react " My lady, this old maid is here to greet you. I heard today crown prince will come here for the first night. Please allow me to prepare you".
Su Mi slowly opened her eyes as she slept very late yesterday because of all the beauty treatments that Lin Hua made her do for today. But when she heard old lady Gong's voice she smiled " so, it took two days to break camel's back".
She stood up from the bed and yawned loudly, covering herself with outer wear she said
" come in". Old lady Gong hesitantly came inside, she went on her old knees with loud groan " my lady, please allow me to apologise for all the. mistake I did and accept me back. I have no other place for me to be".
Su Mi lazily leaned in the chair, her delicate hands cradled her chin as she. mused loudly " old lady Gong how can you say that when you have huge tree like Go family behind you. What I am is just a mere prostitute. How can I accept person like Moutain Tai inside my small room".
Old lady Gong had tears on her eyes, two days back when she told Go house about Go Dong Mae she. thought she would receive some recognition for that but living on kitchen scraps she had a realisation that if she wanted or not she was sailing same boat as Lady Su Mi and it would be life saving for her if Su Mi survived this ordeal.
Being loyal to Go family gave her nothing and being disloyal to Su Mi atleast gave her kitchen gruel which was much better than sleeping empty stomach. Looking at Su Mi's calm face she. explained to her all her thoughts she had last two days and accepted all the wrong deeds she did, from trying to scare her by bawling loudly on the way and sending her information to Go family.
Su Mi laughed " but lady Gong what proof do I have that will show your sincerity, with your past crimes your redemption is pretty difficult".
Lady Gong cried " my lady, give me one chance I will wash your clothes, clean the room, if you can give me place to live and eat. Outside no one will take this old bones in their house and give me work".
Su Mi mused and said " ok, but you have to serve your worth. Become my eyes and ears in this brothel and tell me what you know".
Old lady Gong thought for a while and exclaimed " my lady I already have some news but it is a bad news".
Su Mi nodded allowing her to speak, Old lady Gong smiled " I heard in this brothel whoever crown prince took as his woman for night he will kill her next day without any reasons and no one ever survived his wrath".
Su Mi stood up " so, you are saying that no one survived after spending night with Dong Mu".
Old lady Gong became shocked about how casually she spoke name of the crown prince, "actually my lady there is someone who survived but she would not be of much help. When crown prince turned fourteen the king sent him here to free himself from being the virgin and also learn the art of seduction. They selected top prostitute of this brothel Na-bi but after spending the night there she broke her mind and became mad".
Su Mi thought " interesting what thing that Dong Mu did to make someone mad and kill everyone that he spent the night with".
Su Mi said resolutely " bring her here right now". Old lady Gong stood up and ran outside. These two days there was no one that spent night with her except Na-bi, she was a distraught girl, her hairs all messed up, her clothes in tatter and during lunch, breakfast dinner someone from the kitchen would send her food because each prostitutes took pity on her as they realised that in her place it could be them that suffered if their fate turned bad".
Su Mi came out of the bath when old lady Gong brought the girl. She sent old lady Gong outside and carefully observed the girl for a while. Suddenly Su Mi sat down smilingly " you can drop your act now and tell me why you have been acting mad in all those years?".
