The Princess And The Lord

Meanwhile Zhao Li Xin inside the carriage with Mong Ki, she sits inside the carriage lazily but his expression is tensed he can't help to feel restless something is very wrong but he can point his finger on it and that vexed him.

"How much longer?" he said in a scowl.

​​

"Just a few more minutes Milord," said Mong Ki who is aware of his Lord's bad mood.

The person who is looking for him is a middle-aged woman who is helping his mother delivered him so she knew a lot about his family, not like normal people Zhao Li Xin is not interested too much to know his family he is more interested about who is the one who adamant to make him suffer, how deep for someone hatred to raised there hand to the harmless baby even for someone cruel like Zhao Li Xin he will never hurt an innocent child much less an infant.

Not long after they arrived in desolated area surrounded by a thick bamboo tree, the road is cover with dirty dirt and in front of them they're's a small rectangular hut made by brick cover with crack and holes who is patched by woods, its easy to see how poor people who live in this place.

Mong Ki got out first than he lifted the curtain to help Zhao Li Xin out of his carriage, the middle-aged man about fifty-year-old in tattered robes and disheveled hair approach him with big smiles, the shadow guard halted him not to get close to there Lord, behind the middle-aged man they're is two young women with old but slightly nicer robes compare the middle-aged man, they look at Zhao Li Xin in awed and amazed as if they see an immortal.

Zhao Li Xin face unperturbed they're's nothing reflect on his black eyes except annoyance, Mong Ki approached the middle aged man "Where is she?" he said bluntly.

His straightforward question stunned the middle-aged man at first he wants to exchange pleasantries with the honorable guest but who knew the guest seems like didn't want to wasted there times on him, he feel hurt but he can't complain this guest aura is too overbearing he doesn't dare provoked him.

He bows repeatedly "Yes, yes, my mother is inside, please come!"

Zhao Li Xin escort by Mong Ki and his shadow guard spread around the hut to prevent anyone to get closed, the humble family watch everything in admiration they wonder how strong is this man to have so much powerful retainer. The two girls watch Zhao Li Xin with twinkle eyes they never seen a handsome like immortal man like him not to mention he also wealthy and powerful how lucky for a woman who can marry this man for them even only become his bed warmer they would do it willingly.

Mong Ki could have guess these stupid women think of he glared at the two woman with warning eyes makes the two shiver in fear they immediately look down they didn't dare to glance at Zhao Li Xin again.

The old woman seems in late seventy all his hair has turned white and grey, her eyes squinted when she looks at him. Zhao Li Xin flicks his robes "Speak!" he commands shortly.

The old granny smiles turn stiff, he doesn't look like someone who desperately looking for his family, well that because he isn't.

"My name is An Xi, the woman you looking for is Sanguan Mu Yi one day I found her in front of my house at that time she was in the verged of labor she begged me to help her and so I did," said the old granny "She got very weak after labor but someone suddenly barged in, they try to kill her thankfully you're mother is strong she managed to kill them but she ends up badly hurt"

Truthfully at that time, the old woman is very scared and angry with Sanguan Mu Yi because what had happened her house is wrecked even her Son was hurt during the fight between her and her enemy, only after she gives her enough money the old granny become quiet after that Sanguan Mu Yi left the house because she afraid more will come for her, of course, the old granny didn't tell Zhao Li Xin about this.

Zhao Li Xin rests one of her arms behind his back "Is that all…." Said Zhao Li Xin with an indifferent tone.

The old granny exchanged her look with her sons both of them look flustered, Zhao Li Xin's cold reaction baffled them "Yes, young master" they said awkwardly.

"You're Mother is a good woman, she protects you with all her power, you should be grateful young master!" said the granny son with big grinned, he hopes Zhao Li Xin would appreciate there information and gives them some rewards.

But Zhao Li Xin remains expressionless "Do you see the woman who hurt Sanguan Mu Yi or do you know who wants to kill her that night?" he asked calmly, he avoids calling Sanguan Mu Yi 'mother' because it feels weird for him.

The old Granny and her son look each other than they shake there head "No, young master"

Zhao Li Xin's eyebrows creased "So why you insist meeting with me personally, this kinda information you can deliver it to my subordinated, what's the point to meet me?" he starts to get suspicious.

"That…" the middle-aged man expression become unsettled "We… we just don't want to said it to the wrong person"

"Why its not like you gives us crucial information…..so why?" Zhao Li Xin suddenly become agitated, this is wrong…something is very wrong, his heart suddenly beating faster.

Mong Ki also become anxious, at first he also thought its perhaps a trap for his Lord so he bring more shadow guard to protect Zhao Li Xin but now he is not so sure "Who told you to bring our Lord here?" Mong Ki grabs the middle-aged man collar.

The old granny and her granddaughter suddenly scream "No, please! Master we mean no harm, please forgive my Father!" one of the granddaughter pull his father away from Mong Ki clutch but no avail.

More shadow guard enter the room they hold the two granddaughters, while Zhao Li Xin approach the old granny in the old rattan couch, every step he make the old granny hyperventilated her mouth is up and closed unconsciously even though she's old she still scared to death.

"Who told you to meet me face to face, why don't you come to my residence" Zhao Li Xin stare at the old granny viciously "Don't lie to me, I don't have a problem to kill all of you nor I care"

"But….I save you're Mother, you can't do this to me don't you scared with the God punishment!" the old granny shouted in fear, her body trembles profusely, her granddaughters can only cry and her Son is helpless under Mong Ki clutch.

"Rather worry about me, you better worry about yourself because my punishment come sooner then the God" Zhao Li Xin smiled wickedly they're is no hesitation or mercy in his beautiful black eyes, it was cold and dark just like an ocean in the middle of the night, the granny knew Zhao Li Xin have to problem to kill her and her family.

"It….it was her, she told me to bring you here today, she said you will give me rewards for saving you're Mother, she even said you will take my Daughter as concubines!" the old granny confessed everything, she realizes she had been fooled this man is so cruel and vicious they're's no way he would give her reward moreover take her granddaughter as his concubines, is good enough he didn't kill her and her family.

"What you mean today?" Zhao Li Xin stunned, he focuses on the time period.

The old granny face drenched with cold sweat "Today….she told me to bring you here today" she said in trembling voice.

"Why?" Zhao Li Xin mutter.

"I….I don't know, please young master I don't know anything please have mercy!!" the old granny kowtow on the floor but Zhao Li Xin ignores her.

'Why they want him to come here, what do they want' his brained search for every possible reason than suddenly his eyes bulged, he feel his heart suddenly stop beating.

"LORIENT!"
