FORBIDDEN LOVE CHAPTER 8 (P2) Yo! I hope everyone enjoyed Xmas yesterday! I planned to update yesterday, but I was kidnapped by one of my friends and kept me at her house for 12 hours. Haha.
But yes, as you know, I am taking recommendations of the next novel I should translate, more details are written from the previous part of chapter 8. So far I have 3 recommendations, 2 of them are novels that were dropped: Stolen Loveand One Sweet Love (I think it might be One Sweet Life, because I can't find One Sweet Love..). The last is <王爷擒妃>, which roughly translates to 'Wang Ye Captures His Wife'. This one is about the other Dong Fang brother, sharing the same universe as Forbidden Love and Real Fake Fiance.
I also have novels that I like to translate myself, I am linking it to another post, because it’s kinda a long list aha. (Click Here)
I will put up the poll when I post Chapter 9 Part 2. When I put up the poll, I will no longer take any more recommendations, because the poll I am using will not allow me to edit it. So I will give you guys time to think.
Anyways, thanks for reading!

Chapter 8 (Part 2)
In the small shabby hut located in the backyard of Yi Hong brothel, more than a dozen girls restlessly either stood or sat. Not only did every one of these girls showed fear on their faces, but also streams of tears.
Within this group of confused girls sat a still figure dressed in coarse dress. However, her outfit did not conceal her excellent appearance. This girl was Luo Bing’er and she successfully infiltrated. When she left Dong Fang House, she quickly met up with the Jade Hunter. As according to their plan, she disguised herself has a young orphan girl. She then appeared on the streets pretending to seek help, with her appearance, she quickly caught the eyes of the target people and was quickly kidnapped.
Now that she has successfully mixed in, she had to think of a way to get to how to Liu magistrate, as well as saving these girls, that was her top priority.
"How are so calm?" A girl beside Bing’er asked. When she saw Bing’er being brought in to now, she had not shown any sign of being afraid. The girl was curious and could not help but ask.
Binger turned to face the girl, she was around the same age as her. This girl had a cute and sweet face, and her face showed some concern. During this time, even in such a situation, this girl was able to show concern for another, it left a good impression on Bing’er.
"What is your name, and how were you caught?"
"My name is Xiao Lian, I came here with my brother in search of someone dear*. But I was disobedient, and I wander away from my brother when we were at an inn to explore the streets. I was playing so I did not know that I was being followed and when I found out, it was too late to escape. I fainted and when I woke up, I was already here." Xiao Lian let out a low sigh, her face covered with sorrow, she worries if her brother Shao Qin would be able to find her.
*(I’m not really that sure if that was what she said: “同大哥是来这寻亲的.”)
"How long have you been here? And do you know anything about the other girls here" Binger looked at her sadly, holding she held Xiao Lian’s hand lightly with sympathy and lightly said.
"It has been three days, all of us share the same experience (of being kidnapped and stationed here). Before, there were several girls with beautiful features, but they were quickly taken away and never bought back. Everyday, some girls will be brought away and we will not see them again."
Xiao Lian told Bing’er everything she knew. She honestly said everything, during this time, it was good to have someone to talk to. She was able to keep her mind off of her worries. Binger’s face darkened, if she guessed right, those girls who were brought out were either used as bribes or ‘destroyed’ by Magistrate Liu.
"Miss, your appearance, by far exceeds any girl brought in and out from here, you must be careful." Xiao Lian suddenly tightly held her hand, she feared for her.
"Thank you." Because of her concern, Binger was very moved, she continue to whispered to inquire: "Do you know where this is?
"I only know that this is a brothel, but I do not know anything else."
When the girls were brought into this hut, the pimp came to look at the girls, and then was when they found out that this was a brothel. Everyone then began to start crying, they knew that their chances of going back were now very slim. Binger looked aroung, every girls’ face showed despair, it was unbearable. Suddenly an idea formed, maybe she can manage to let them escape.
Knock! knock! A subtle knocking sound along with a light voice outside transmitted from the the sealed window. Binger’s face showed a hint of joy, she hastened to the window and peeked through the small hole she secretly made. "Miss Luo, are you alright?" Keeping a close observation of the surrounding, Jade Hunter anxiously asked.
"I'm all right, I have a way to rescue all of these girls, but I need your help." Bing’er quickly told her plan to Jade Hunter.
"No, we can not do it, if these girls were to escape, wouldn’t it arose a commotion?"
"Listen, when I came to take the signed life document, from the same wooden box, there were multiple other letters. If Magistrate Liu is really the ambassador acting behind the scenes, then one of the letters can be a source of evidence to use to convict the crime of Liu magistrate.”
These girls suffered for days, she could not bear much longer. If this matter were to be extended any longer, how many girls were to suffer the consequences?
"I still feel uneasy, but tell me where this wooden box is, I will try to steal it." If anything were to happen to Bing’er, then even if he were to have ten lives, it would not save him, so staling the box himself was more appropriate.
"But you know how to unlock it?"
"Even if I do not know, I can just bring you the whole box."
"But you promised me, that if you were to agree to my help, you would not interfere with with I do. I will be careful, so do not worry. Bing’er excitedly insisted.
There was a period of silence but in the end, he agreed. He reminded her to be careful and quietly left..
Seeing him leave, Bing’er turned to face the girls. With a serious expression, she said "I have a way to allow everyone to escape, but I want your cooperation.”
--
Nighttime, the door opened from the outside, and in came two men.
"What is going on?"
When they came in, they saw every girl laying on the ground, motionless. Surprised, they stepped forward to the girls to take a closer look only to be hit on the back of the head and feel flat onto the ground. Both Binger and Xiao Lian’s hands held a large piece of wood. They smiled at each other, they hit took all the strength of their body, both their hands were slightly tingling.
"Girls, quickly get up, do not panic, and followed behind me quietly." Binger took the lead in the front and arrived to the back door. she easily opened the lock, Jade Hunter was there, waiting with 2 carriages.
"These girls will be in your care, I’m going back to steal the box." Afraid that he (Jade Hunter) will have a change of thoughts, Bing’er quickly passed the girls to him and turned back around and left.
"No! You come back ah!" When he thought about it again, he could not allow her to do this and called out. But she had long left, seems he could only lead the girls to a safe place and then go back to catch up with her. Hoping nothing bad will happen.
Luo Binger once again came to the pimp’s room, she took the wooden box out from under the bed. As she was about to leave, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, in came in the pimp and several strong looking men, they quickly surrounded her.
"The last time, I discovered a life contract paper suddenly went missing, I became suspicious. But it seems, it was as I suspected, who sent you here, and how did you escape from the hut?”
With the sudden disappearance of the life contract, with Xiao Cui’s report, it was confirmed that someone had infiltrated. She was surprised, however, when Dong Fang House came forward to intervene. Though she was not sure if the person was related to Dong Fang House, from then on, she increased security and placed her room on all day and night surveillance. Finally, after her long wait, she had caught the thief, but it was out of her expectations as it was the same girl she had captured today.
"Not good! Madam!"
Outside neared the sound of multiple messy footsteps, along with Xiao Cui, the girl who Bing’er previously knocked out, came in several paled face men: "Every girl in hut located in the backyard had escaped!”
"What!" The Madam’s heavily powdered face was about to crack as she angrily closed in to the surrounded Bing’er: "It was you who let everyone excape!"
"Correct!" Binger unabashedly admitted, as she secretly try to think of a way to escape.
"Do not let her escape!"
With the order of madam, the men quickly jumped towards her, though Bing’er’s martial art was not the best, it was more than enough to deal with these people. Using her nimble body she dodged and hit at the same time, quickly the men fell.
She proudly kicked the fallen men several times, and turned with the intention to leave. But suddenly, a powder hit her face as she put her guard down.
"You!.." Binger stared stunned at the madam, she had underestimate the enemy! Suddenly, her vision darkened, her body limply fell to the ground.
Madam proudly looked at the fallen Bing’er. She them shifted her eyes to look at Xiao Cui and commanded: "Feed her the body numbing power and send her to the magistrate tonight and tell him this is the gift from me and to enjoy her tonight. I do not care who she is, as long as she goes against me, I will make her regret!”
Madam glared at her, and ordered Bing’er to be quickly propped up, given the drug and sent away. |
