The Princess And The Lord

Suddenly her bedroom door was pushed open and Zhao Li Xin entered the room wearing his usual black robe, looking dashing as always, "Are you ready?" Zhao Li Xin asked.

Meanwhile, Ling Zi quickly finished cleaning up the broken glass from the floor, she bowed her head to Zhao Li Xin then excused herself.

Zhao Li Xin's baritone voice woke Lory from her wandering thoughts, Lory pushed the uncomfortable feeling to the back of her head and nodded at Zhao Li Xin, "Yeah, it's fine if I dress like this, right?" Lory opened her arms to reveal the dress she was wearing.

Lory wore a white hanfu with unique bluebells flowers embroidered on the wide sleeves and at the bottom of her skirt, because Lory didn't want to stand out too much she tied her hair with a blue ribbon without any other accessories.

However, if Lory told Zhao Li Xin that she was dressed modestly because she didn't want to stand out too much, Zhao Li Xin would laugh at her. No matter how she dressed, she would always give off a strange feeling to everyone around her.

Lory never noticed that he was leaking a noble aura from time to time. When she lived in Lao Manor, she had always been an enigma to most people, but fortunately, because she had an ordinary appearance and lowly background, no one investigated further.

But, after she met Zhao Li Xin she adjusted her appearance a bit to be more like her original look, and after she came clean about her past she behaved more like her old self, and as a result, the noble aura around her became thicker which became impossible to hide.

Zhao Li Xin took a blue veil cover with the same bluebell embroidery as her dress, then he gently put it on Lory's face, only after he was sure half of Lory face cover he heaved in relief "Much better…" he said quietly.

Lory squints her eyes, she never understands the need to hide her ordinary face, unlike Zhao Li Xin heaven-defying beauty that could attract men and women from miles away her disguised face is only slightly above average, this type of face is easily lost in the crowd, that also because of that she chooses 'Luo Ri Yi' face other than they had almost similar bone structure so it was easier to put shapeshifter spell on herself.

Obviously, Zhao Li Xin didn't think the same as her.

"You're wearing your mask too, right?" Lory didn't want to be the only one covering her face.

"Of course," he answered simply.

Today's plan was to lure Wei Zu Tian from his lair, although the theater troupe might pique Wei Zu Tian's curiosity still Zhao Li Xin wants to make sure that their plan wouldn't fail as they might not have another chance to contact Guan Men Niang again.

Both Lory and Zhao Li Xin decided to be the bait to lure Wei Zu Tian out, although Lory was reluctant to let Wei Zu Tian meet Zhao Li Xin because she knew Wei Zu Tian's dirty intentions towards her husband, however, she realized the importance of it. this mission so he had to put his feelings aside.

Unbeknownst to him Zhao Li Xin also felt the same way as him, Zhao Li Xin knew what kind of man Wei Zu Tian was. Because of Lory's relationship with him, Wei Zu Tian already put too much attention on her, Zhao Li Xin was worried Wei Zu Tian would realize how special Lory is.

The last thing Zhao Li Xin wants is another man obsessed with her wife.

Mong Ki and Mong Yi then enter the room, their expressions tense and wary, unlike people who are about to watch the show, of course, Lory doesn't look any better either. When they entered Lory was in the middle of placing twin red daggers in both of his arms, he also took out a bluebell protective necklace from the box and Zhao Li Xin helped him to put it on.

"The preparations are ready my lord" Mong Ki cupped his fists firmly.

"Master Bei and Master Wu have been waiting in the main hall while Master Jiang and Master Jin are on their way to Wei Zu Tian's place" Mong Yi also added.

"I hope Wei Zu Tian takes the bait?" Lory was a little worried because she knew that no plan was guaranteed to work sometimes the slightest bit of mistake could mess up the whole plan.

"Don't worry, one of the shadow guards of Heaven's Gate should have known by now that I will take you out of the Manor to see the show" Zhao Li Xin calmly reassured her.

"Will they be suspicious if I suddenly got out?" Lory voiced her doubts.

Since the first attack from Wei Zu Tian Lory was completely confined within the Manor, the manor was heavily guarded with a multi-layered array formation, every exit in the manor was guarded by soldiers from the Golden Lion palace and countless shadow guards were also watching from the darkness, because of that the Heaven's Gate sect shadow guards were unable to find any information about Lory and Zhao Li Xin, they were not even able to approach more than a hundred meters from the front gate.

Unfortunately, the same thing happened with the Hei Shen sect, although in the end, they found out where Wei Zu Tian lived the Hei Shen members were also unable to approach the place where Wei Zu Tian lived because the place was guarded as much as the Zhao Li Xin Manor, therefore they also did not can obtain information about Wei Zu Tian and whatever is going on in that place which is why Guan Men Niang's cooperation is vital.

"They won't," Zhao Li Xin held her hand "Everyone knows I pamper you a lot and it's known that you like going out so it's normal when the theater troupe comes you will make me accompany you to watch the fun" His cold eyes were filled with tenderness and pleasure as he spoke with Lory.

Lory's heart skipped a beat but then her brows furrowed tightly "Why does that make me sound like an unruly woman?"

"Really?" Zhao Li Xin tilted her head blankly.

Lory pursed her lips "I don't know….there's something weird about those words"

Zhao Li Xin pinched her chin as she thought earnestly, "Hmm... Is that sentence wrong?"

"Uhm, I did like to go out and watch the fun…." Lory wasn't sure either.

The Mong brothers kept their faces straight without making any comments while Girsha rolled his green eyes.

Neither Lory nor Zhao Li Xin realized it because rumors depicted Lory as vulgar and unruly some people doubted Lory and Zhao Li Xin's marriage would last long, they all wondered when Lory lost Zhao Li Xin's affection because of her vulgar behavior.

Although they didn't think Zhao Li Xin would divorce Lory because it was not common in this era however they all waited for Zhao Li Xin to get bored with his wife then after that they would slowly push their daughter, granddaughter, or niece towards him beside Zhao Li Xin didn't seem like a bad husband.

Bei Li Yan who heard about this rumor was too lazy to correct them, it's not like they would believe it either, actually, they don't want to believe it since monogamy is very – very rare and it's uncommon practice unless you are a commoner and too poor to have more than one wife.

At the main hall Bei Li Yan, Wu San Bo, and Li Mo Zhen were waiting. Lory was surprised when she saw Li Mo Zhen in her manor "Master Li, why are you here, wait is there something wrong with Xi Ying?" Lory got worried when she didn't see Yang Xi Ying around.

"No, Xi Ying is fine" his expression softened when he saw Lory's sincere concern. Compared to Yang Xi Ying's siblings, Yang Xi Ying's relationship with Lory and Ming Yue Yin was much closer than that of her biological family and sometimes made him jealous but at the same time, he felt delighted knowing that they really loved Yang Xi Ying for who she was. is.

"I came here because I wanted to see the famous Wei Zu Tian with my own eyes, I wonder if he lives up to his reputation?" Li Mo Zhen said.

Just like everyone else, Wei Zu Tian's arrival made him anxious. Wei Zu Tian is unpredictable and is known as an unscrupulous character who has no basis in his actions. Even before he knew Zhao Li Xin as a friend, Li Mo Zhen never felt threatened when he heard about the Hei Shen sect.

Although Zhao Li Xin is also a dangerous person but she never attacks people indiscriminately, it's safe to say it's better to treat Zhao Li Xin like a lion, don't enter her territory, and don't provoke him and he will not hurt you. However, the same thing cannot be said about Wei Zu Tian.
