When Li Mo Zhen saw Lory and Ming Yue Yin his face beamed as if he met his savior, well Lory was his savior but this is for another case. Li Mo Zhen took long strides towards Lory and Ming Yue Yin and he smiled brightly like a sun on the first day after a long winter, "What a surprise Your Majesty, Madam Zhao, please come in!" he raises his hand in a polite manner to invite them in.
Lory knew Li Mo Zhen as a friendly and warm-hearted man but strangely today he was too friendly, and Ming Yue Yin also felt the same way, there was something fishy about his overly friendly attitude.
As expected, Li Mo Zhen suddenly said "Thank goodness you are all here so Xi Ying has someone to accompany her, unfortunately, I have to meet my master for an important matter, therefore…" he handed the tonic bowl to Lory's hand. "Please, make sure Xi Ying drinks the whole bowl, thank you very much, have a nice day" and just like that he fleeing before Lory could open her mouth.
Lory realizes Li Mo Zhen has shifted the responsibility to her hands, 'what a sly man' Lory gaped, she looked down at the bowl in her hands, then she turned her head towards Yang Xi Ying's sullen face.
"I won't drink it!" Yang Xi Ying adamant.
Lory mouth twitch, people said the beautiful woman had a temper that's proverb was so true, Lory contemplate her moves then she leans forward and says: "If you drink this I will tell you everything that happens with Wei Zu Tian"
Yang Xi Ying walk to the round to the medium size dining table, she plops her buŧŧ to the chair and scoffed "I already know everything from brother Li, he also used this trick to force me to drink that" Yang Xi Ying face darkens as she recalled she had been tricked by her own husband.
Lory pursed her lips indignantly, Not only the sly man forced his responsibility on her he also steal her moves. Lory turns her pleading gaze at Ming Yue Ying to help her. Although it's fun to watch Lory in the pinch, nevertheless angry Yang Xi Ying it's no good for anyone, thus she helped Lory, "What if I told you that we met with Jin Hao sister" Ming Yue Ying take a seat in front of Ming Yue Yin.
"Master Jin have a sister?" Yang Xi Ying was surprised.
Ming Yue Yin nodded excitedly "Yeah, and it also got something to do with Xiao family"
"Xiao family…General Xiao?" Yang Xi Ying's eyes widened, clearly, she got hooked.
Lory then place the bowl in front of Yang Xi Ying then adds in, "And…your sister Yang Qiou Xi visit me today"
"WHAT!" Yang Xi Ying almost jump from her chair Luckily Lory pressed her shoulder gently to make Yang Xi Ying stay in her seat.
Hi Su who hears Yang Xi Ying shout enter the room in hurry, "Madam are you okay?"
Yang Xi Ying quickly composed herself, "I'm fine, prepare the tea and smack for my friends" she waved her hands to sign Hi Su to leave.
Understood what Yang Xi Ying mean, she bowed her head courteously "Right away madam" Hi Su then leave the room to give them privacy.
Yang Xi Ying then turns her sour face to Lory again, "Lory, how could my sister come to your place, how is she…" Yang Xi Ying fell silent, it dawned on her that Yang Qiou Xi had tricked her.
Furious, Yang Xi Ying pounds the table with her fist, "That sneaky little vixen had fooled me!" The sudden anger make her stomach churn, she is just being reprimand by the physician to rest to avoid any further complication so her body is slightly weaker than she used to be.
"Calm down…" Lory softly said then she places both her hands on Yang Xi Ying's stomach, a warm air envelops her stomach and the ached in her stomach gradually disappear not only that the warm air spread through all her body gradually the soreness on her waist and back decreased tremendously and even her nausea was gone.
"Better?" Lory ask.
"Yes, thank you" Yang Xi Ying's red cheeks showed that his condition had improved and Yang Xi Ying as a cultivator could also feel it, "Your strength is miraculous as usual…" Yang Xi Ying was delighted whenever Lory displayed her strength. Unlike the destructive power of cultivation, Lory's power was calm, gentle but resilient strength is very similar to Lory's character.
"Glad you like it" Lory pulled her hands from Yang Xi Ying's stomach.
It wasn't long before Hi Su and two other maids came to deliver tea and snacks for them. Hi Su was shocked when she saw Yang Xi Ying's glowing face, she didn't know what happened but she guessed it had something to do with Ming Yue Yin and Lory, therefore Hi Su left the room feeling happy and pleased that Yang Xi Ying had good friends around her.
Yang Xi Ying thought back to Yang Qiou Xi, he took a sip of his tea then took a deep breath, "I'm sorry Lory, she accidentally sprained her leg while visiting me so I can't let her leave my Manor like that if people see I sent my injured sister back home people would say I'm hearthless or something, not like I care but I can't let Brother Li's implicated so I have no choice but to let Yang Qiou Xi stay, but who could have thought..."
"She can't fool you, but how can he fool the doctor who examined her wound?" Ming Yue Yin didn't know how that little girl fooled an experienced physician with her fake wound, unless...
Yang Xi Ying smiled wryly, "It was my negligence" Yang Xi Yin pressed her lips as she admitted, "Shee said she didn't want to trouble me so she called his own physician. At that time I really didn't think much of it, I never like interact with my step sister so I just wanted to end quickly and back to my room, only now did I realize Yang Qiou Xi must have already bribe the physician, obviously, she had planned this beforehand," Yang Xi Ying snorted in disdain.
Lory heard and frowned "Are you sure, she's only fourteen years old young girl, I don't think she planed all that?"
Yang Xi Ying's eyes clenched her fists in anger, "She may not, but don't forget she is Yang Qiou Ru's younger sister, I believe it was Yang Qiou Ru who came up with the idea!"
"That makes sense, that woman could even get Gu Lian Fu to marry her" Ming Yue Ying muttered.
"But, what does Qiou Xi want from me?" Lory was still doesn't understand what Yang Qiou Xi after?
Yang Xi Ying's expression suddenly stiffened then she looked at Lory awkwardly "Lory, I'm sorry," he said regretfully then continued "Actually…Yang Qiou Xi came to me a few days ago asking me to help her to approach…your husband." Yang Xi Ying bit her lip.
"What?" Ming Yue Yin was dumbfounded.
"Again?" Lory exclaimed but was not surprised.
"But I said No, and I told her to forget that ridiculous idea!" Yang Xi Ying quickly clarifies herself "I already warned her that the result will not only devastate her but also the Yang family, I already warned her sternly, I thought she listened but that stupid girl….Uuugh, that idiot!" Yang Xi Ying grumbles utterly frustrated.
"It's not your fault Xi Ying" Lory patted her hands to comfort Yang Xi Ying.
"That's right Xi Ying, you can't stop someone from being stupid" Ming Yue Yin agreed, "By the way, why so many women were chasing scary uncle, however, they should know that no one ended up well in the end, I don't get it....do they need more examples?" Ming Yue Yin was astounded by these women's stubbornness.
Lory sigh then propped her chin with her hands, "I think Zhao Li Xin like this high demand merchandise or stuff, or treasure, having him gives tremendous self-esteem for any woman who had him, they can parade with him and enjoy everyone jealousy and envy knowing you have something that everyone wished, perhaps that's worth every risk they take? "
"Even their life?" Ming Yue Yin still can't get her head around it.
"Why not, that's no different with women who enter the harem" Yang Xi Ying sneered.
Ming Yue Yin sighed, "You are right, many women are willing to marry someone decades older than her if that means it would give them honor and wealth to her and her family, at least scary uncle is easy on the eyes" Ming Yue Yin feels the life of women in this era is quite ironic.
"What worries me about what Yang Qiou Xi will do after this, listening to your explanation, I'm afraid she won't give up easily" Lory's eyes deepened.
Yang Xi Ying understood what Lory meant, how could she not understand the true temperament of Yang Qiou Xi's mother and sister, to gain their advantage they didn't care to use the dirtiest tricks on their sleeves to get what they want. Just imagine how a concubine daughter like Yang Qiou Xi could marry the heir of the Gu family.
Yang Qiou Xi must have calculated Gu Lian Fu's character he also knows that the Gu family that fears the most is a bad reputation therefore Gu Lian Fu had no choice when he accidentally slept with Yang Qiou Ru and was caught by an outsider, it never crossed his mind in his mind that he had been tricked by Yang Qiou Ru.
However, Zhao Li Xin is not Gu Lian Fu in fact Zhao Li Xin is not like everybody else, he will not hesitate when something didn't go in his way.
"I know Lory, don't worry, I will make sure Yang Qiou Xi doesn't bother you or lord Long Ming, ever again," Yang Xi Ying said solemnly.
