The Princess And The Lord

After she finishes her bath she wants to find Zhao Li Xin but when she walks in the hallway she was surprised by Ming Yue Yin's sudden appearance "Hey aunty, let me show you something good" she make cheeky smiles.

"You know I almost hit you?" Lory glare at her.

​​

"Come on, let's have fun before you meet uncle" she ignores Lory glare than beckoned her to follow her.

"How do you know I haven't met Zhao Li Xin yet?" she frowns suspiciously, you are nor spying at me aren't you 'brat'?

Ming Yue Yin sees the accusation in Lory's eyes than she rolls her eyes "It because of you're hairstyle...it looks…modest" she waves her hands carelessly right on Lory's face.

"Oh?" Because Zhao Li Xin not they're to do her hair and Lory only has limited ability in hairstyling she can only tide half her hair with lace and done with it, she does look modest without intricate hairstyle and luxurious hairpiece.

Ming Yue Yin leads her near the front gate than she stops at the certain building, she turns around at Lory "Can you jump to the roof?"

Lory squint her eyes than she smirked the iris in her eyes dimmed with purple light and the wind twirl below her feet than Lory take a leap and land smoothly on the roof, Ming Yue Yin watched with awed than she smiles and follow her suit. Above the roof, Ming Yue Yin point to a certain direction.

In front of Yong Heng Manor, Lory see a carriage stop not far from the gate, the lady and the two maidservants talking to the gatekeeper and they seem in a heat conversation, Lory squint her eyes to sharpen her gaze, the lady looks very familiar.

"That Yuan Shan" Ming Yue Yin reminds her.

"Yuan Shao stepsister?" Lory gasped.

"Yes, she tries to get inside the manor for a half-hour but no avail?" Ming Yue Yin stifles.

"So why won't she just get in?" Lory confuses why she had to make so much fuss to enter the manor.

"Are you stupid aunty? Uncle never let an unauthorized person enter the manor especially this lady who have hidden agenda" said Ming Yue Yin, she takes a sit on the roof than take out rainbow candy from the bag inside her sleeve than she gives one candy for Lory "I think she fell in love with the uncle and she wants to gain his attention that's why she eager to meet him again, but who is uncle? Can you meet him just because you want to?" she scoffed.

"Is that so?" Lory surprised how bold this woman could be doesn't she know Zhao Li Xin already has fiancée but think again is that even ever stop anyone before?

Ming Yue Yin licks the candy than she continues again "That woman is so sly, she pretends her carriage broke down so she would have reason to meet uncle on pretense seeking for help" she said in utter disgust, yuan shan remain her with the concubines at the imperial harem.

"Clever" Lory comment earnestly.

"Yes but too bad is not working" Ming Yue Yin giggles "If its another man this plan should be working, is a matter of courtesy after all, but this is uncle we talking about 'courtesy' might no be in his dictionary. Even if she got hit and die in front of the gate uncle won't pay her attention, he might only say 'get rid that things!' isn't it?"

It sounds old but that exactly how Zhao Li Xin would react, Lory let out a long heaved "Yeah, he would" she prop her chin with her arms on her knee "Why she still persistence?" she baffled why Yuan Shan still adamant to enter the manor, she also feel sorry for the gatekeeper.

"My guessed is because her carriage broke down she wants to lend Zhao Li Xin carriage to go home, than she has the reason to meet Zhao Li Xin for asking permission" Ming Yue Yin sighs.

Lory's eyebrows furrow closely "It really bothers me for fourteen or fifteen years old girls can be so...devious"

"Well, that's how normally noble daughter are" she understands Lory feeling, she once tell Ming Yue Yin women in her world never take marriage as a priority and sometimes they treat Marriage as a hassle because they more focus with their career and social life and if they want a child they can apply adoption even having illegitimate children is not a problem, maybe because of this women didn't obsessed with marriage and men like women in this world.

But than Lory said it can be a good thing or a bad thing because a lot of people in her world end up having phobia with commitment and many of them refused to get married. the truth is many Archknight didn't get married.

"I finish my candy, let's go!" she beckoned Lory to jump down from the roof.

"We just leaving them like this?" Lory saw Yuan shan still fight her with the gatekeeper.

"What do you wanna do" Ming Yue Yin shrugs her shoulder nonchalantly.

Lory sighs than she jumps down from the roof, Lory patted the dirt from her dress than she talks with Ming Yue Yin "I visit Li Xin now"

"Okay, I visit Xue An then" she nods her head, than the two girls walks separated way after finish watching the stupid Yuan Shan but lory admired her persistence and boldness to get what she wants if Yuan Shan born in her world she might become powerful women like CEO or something too bad she born in the world where they're are not many options for women like her.

When she approached the study room, Mong ki and Mong Yi nods there head respectfully than open the door for her.

"Thank you" Lory nods her head towards them than she enters the room.

Inside the room, Wu San Bo, Bei Li Yan, and Zhao Li Xin are in discussion, but Zhao Li Xin leans on his chair lazily with half-closed eyes only god's know whether he listening or not. Zhao Li Xin hears Lory's footsteps and suddenly his eyes widely open "You here…" he said calmly but in Bei Li Yan and Wu San Bo's eyes, there Lord expression suddenly becomes bright just like the sun shines brightly after the long rain.

"I hope, I don't bother you're meeting"

"On the contrary, you are helping us," said Bei Li Yan.

Both of them worry Zhao Li Xin was bored and stop listening to them since hours ago because Lory visit Zhao Li Xin's mood suddenly rose again and there discussion can be resumed.

"I thought you will looking for me sooner" Zhao Li Xin complain slightly.

"Well I did but that 'brat' take to watch the spectacle at the front gate first…" Lory walks to Zhao Li Xin's side than she pours the wine from the flask to winecup for Zhao Li Xin.

"What spectacle?" Zhao Li Xin lifts the winecup.

"Yuan Shan tries to enter the manor" Lory chuckles softly.

"She still they're?" Bei Li Yan surprised.

"She is" Lory nod her head "And she still fights her way to the manor I presumed" she make 'fight on' gesture.

"Is she doesn't have anything else to do?" Zhao Li Xin frown in disgusted, he could never understand why women do all necessary mean to do something futile.

Lory than tilted her head "Other then courting one of the strongest men in the continent that would bring glory to her family and gain endless honor and envy from other people for the rest of her life? No, I don't think so" Lory make sarcastic smiles than she takes a seat on the couch casually.

'...…'

Bei Li Yan and Wu san bo almost raised from there seat and clapped there hand and scream 'Bravo!'
