Chapter 812 - Feisty Lady

Lory headed to the Manor next door through the conjoint door alone as usual Lory wandered around without any maids accompany her, although it was not common for women from influential families, nevertheless they were already used to Lory's peculiar behavior. 

As Lory walked towards the door she notices two guards standing in front of the door it seemed the incident with Yang Qiou Xi make them aware that not everyone from Li Manor will be welcome to Hei Shen territory. 

suddenly someone called "Lory!"

Lory shift her head then saw Ming Yue Ying walking towards him while Su Yi and Su Feng followed behind him, "Where do you and lord Girsha want to go?"

"I want to visit Xi Ying, there's something I need to talk about," said Lory as she crossed her arms in front of her ċhėst.

"Oh, something happened?" Ming Yue Yin ask.

Lory rubbed her cheeks feeling conflicted by the situation, "Uhm….Xi Ying's sister, Yang Qiou Xi visited me today"

Ming Yue Yin surprise, "Why?" since when Lory got close to Yang Xi Ying's family?

Lory make a lopsided grin, "Well, she said she admires me and wants to learn from me..." it sounded even more ridiculous when she said it out loud.

Ming Yue Yin's brows knitted closely, then she looked at Lory in marvel and disbelief, "What does that mean?" Ming Yue Yin exclaimed, she knew very well about the Yang family not only because of Governor Yang during her efforts to clean up corrupt officials from her court and also because of his relationship with Yang Xi Ying so Ming Yue Yin pay more attention to the Yang family.

After thorough investigation she concluded apart from Yang Xi Ying neither of them had good character, Governor Yang witch is Yang Xi Ying father was quite honest but he was too soft so he was easy to persuade and when it comes to managing his own courtyard he was too lenient so the concubines and the children's going rampant in his own Manor, what make things worst Yang Xi Ying mother is too timid and gullible she unable to manage her husband wives and children's, in short, Yang Xi Ying family was quite chaotic where everyone fighting for benefit and power, as a result, Ming Yue Yin doesn't have a good opinion about everyone in Yang Manor except Yang Xi Ying.

Lory shrugged her shoulders "That's what she said..." Lory said in a perfunctory manner.

"Then what did you say?" Ming Yue Yin snickered. 

Lory tilted her head slightly then she opened her arms and shrugged "Well... long story short, I kicked her out of the Manor"

Ming Yue Ying widened her eyes and then burst out laughing, "Pfft… Gosh, I wish I was there to see Yang Qiou Xi's face"

"Yeah, she didn't take it well, I think he was angry with me?" Lory said dejectedly.

Ming Yue Yin gave a sarcastic answer, "No way!"

Lory pretended didn't understand what Ming Yue Yin was saying, the two of them exchanged jokes while the Su sister watch Lory and Ming Yue Yin with indifferent expressions, seeing them like this has become a norm for the Su sister so no one reacted when Lory was noticeably being rude with Ming Yue Yin, on the other hand, Ming Yue Yin herself seems to be enjoying it.

as soon as they reached the connecting door, the guards opened the door for Lory and Ming Yue Yin without question.

"By the way, where is Yang Qiou Xi now after you kick her out, do you think she's back at Li Manor now, what will happen if we meet her, would it be awkward?" Ming Yue Yin smirked mischievously, actually, she wanted to meet Yang Qiou Xi she wanted to see a stupid woman who dared to approach Long Ming's wife with bad intentions.

"I don't think so" Lory reply casually "When you were fourteen, what did you do after being wronged?" the truth is Lory didn't care if she ended up meeting Yang Qiou Xi after what happened, what would Yang Qiou Xi do other than give her a couple of insults.

"Uhm... run to their parents I guess?" Ming Yue Yin guessed. 

"Uh-huh, so he will be in Yang Manor, not here" Lory walked through the garden and stumbled with several of Li's servants because they knew Lory no one tried to stop him like the Hei Shen members they had also used with Lory's strange behavior, they also recognized Ming Yue Yin thus one by one bent their waists deeply as Lory and Ming Yue Yin walked past them.

They finally met the housekeeper Li Manor, the housekeeper is a fifty-year-old woman she looks stern and intimidating how, although she doesn't look pretty, however she looks very poised and charismatic just like a maid serving the royal family, her name is Hi Su and she was summoned by Li Mo Zhen from Jiu Yun sect to help Yang Xi Ying manage the Manor.

The lady saw Lory and Ming Yue Yin then she bowed her head politely, "Greetings Your Highness and Lady Zhao" she politely greeted them.

"Good evening Lady Hai, can I meet Yang Xi Ying?" Lory kindly asked.

"Of course, Your Majesty and Madam Zhao present here will lighten the madam mood." Hi Su smiled in delight.

"What's wrong with Xi Ying?" Ming Yue Yin heard Yang Xi Ying's mood worsened after she became pregnant.

"Madam became impatient after she was forced by Master to stay in her bed for three days" Hi Su explained as she escorted them to Yang Xi Ying's room.

Li Mo Zhen was a very understanding person so he wouldn't force Yang Xi Ying to do something she didn't like without a proper reason, therefore, Lory felt worried for Yang Xi Ying, "What happened to Xi Ying?"

"Actually, three days ago madam saw there was a stain in her undėrwėȧr thus everyone becomes panic especially the madam herself, she was afraid she had a miscarriage and so did Master, luckily after the physician checked madam's condition he made sure there was nothing wrong with madam's health or the fetus, turns out madam was only too tired so the physician advice the madam to rest for a day and minimize her activity" Hi Su sounded relieved as she explained Yang Xi Ying's condition.

"If there's nothing wrong with Xi Ying why did she stay in bed for three days?" Ming Yue Yin was confused, compared to normal cultivators were naturally stronger and they healed faster than normal people, therefore, she didn't understand why Yang Xi Ying rested in bed for so many days.

Hi Su covered her mouth as she chuckled softly "It was Master who became too anxious, since then he forced Madam to stay in bed he also asked Master Jin Hao many tonic recipes for pregnant women even Miss Yuan Xue An personally came to concocted the tonic for madam, but after three days madam became impatient"

Lory listened to Hi Su and laughed dryly, "I didn't know Li Mo Zhen was such a worried person~"

Ming Yue Yin gave Lory a side-eye then she quipped: "Don't laugh, look what happened to Li Mo Zhen, imagine what scary uncle will do when you are pregnant"

Instant Lory's smile faded "Dammit, she's right!'

Suddenly when they arrived in front of Yang Xi Ying's room they heard a scream from within the room, "No, I don't want to drink any more tonics!"

Then Li Mo Zhen gentle word followed, "Xi Ying, please drink a little more, Miss Yuan said this will be good for your baby"

"Good for the baby but not for me, I want to eat sweets and sour duck, spicy lamb, and stir-fried crab!" Yang Xi Ying demanded in a loud voice.

"Okay – okay, you can eat it but no seafood." Li Mo Zhen coaxed his angry wife.

"NO!" Yang Xi Ying replied stubbornly.

Lory and Ming Yue Yin exchanged looks in surprise. This was the first time they had heard the graceful Yang Xi Ying act on purpose and he had never heard Li Mo Zhen sound so helpless.

Hi Su's expression remained calm, obviously, this was not the first time this had happened, Hi Su raised his hand then knocked twice on the door and announced in a monotone voice "Madam, Your Majesty, and Madam Zhao are coming to visit"

There was silence for a while then they heard a rumbling sound and then Li Mo Zhen shouted anxiously, "Be careful, don't run Xi Ying!"

"NOISY!" Yang Xi Ying mercilessly scolded her husband.

The door suddenly opened and Yang Xi Ying's beautiful face greeted them like sunrise on a winter morning "You here!" then a second later a blizzard filled her eyes "You finally remember me..."

Ming Yue Yin reflexively hid behind Lory, under Yang Xi Ying's glaring eyes Lory replied timidly, "So…ry?"
