Old Master Miao just smiled and didn't elaborate on the details.
Liu Ru was indeed nurtured and trained by him. Initially, he saw that she was ruthless enough and ambitious. He used to appreciate this about her, but he didn't expect her ambition to be too great for Piaoxiang Courtyard to contain.
In brothels, there's no such thing as having a clean slate under one's command, and it's impossible for all the girls to have come in as bona fide sellers of their own bodies.
Some of them were forced, their purity destroyed, leaving them no choice but to stay.
Liu Ru excelled in this aspect, even more adept than Old Master Miao.
However, Old Master Miao started to seek other businesses since last year and basically left the brothel unmanaged. He even forbade Liu Ru from using aggressive methods to coerce unwilling girls into prostitution.
As a result, the business of Piaoxiang Courtyard was inevitably affected.
