"I'm ANGRY!" 

Suddenly her bedroom door was slammed, she jolted from her bed almost falling to the floor, Lory cursed whoever disturbs her sleep right now, she shifts the bed curtain then saw Ming Yue Yin enter her room with a crimson face and puffing cheeks, she does look very angry, Lory rubs her half-open eyes lazily.

​​

Ming Yue Yin didn't wait for Lory to answer she walk back and forth while make gesticulate her hand exaggeratedly "Do you know that bitch is wagging her tail in front of him and that stupid general only smiles, I bet he like it, you know what? I should have known no men can't be trusted, except uncle, but that because he is freaking crazy…"

'What? Why anyone chides her man in the early morning?' Before she can't comprehend what the brat saying, Yang Xi Ying also enter the room while carrying a tray she complains "Can you believe it that women dare to chase my husband this far, she even dares to invite my husband without me – ME!" she drops the tray on the table angrily.

"You know what, women are shameless and men cannot be trusted, I advice you to put a leash on your man, you cannot risk it, or do you want to kill that bitch, you know I'm in…." Ming Yue Yin cracked her knuckle with evil smiles.

"Should I….sound is going overboard" Yang Xi Ying looks hesitant.

"That bitch across the ocean to get your man what do you think she wouldn't do huh?" Ming Yue Yin wrapped her hand around yang Xi Ying's shoulder and whisper "No body – no crime, I'll be your witness, who dare to question me…"

"Well, if you say it like that….maybe…." Yang Xi Ying put her finger on her lips seemingly sway by Ming Yue Yin's persuasion.

Lory scratch her head she lost in their conversation, why out of the blue they talk about homicide? Who are they gonna killed, is that mean she is a witness now or an accomplice?

"What do you think aunty/Lory?" they asked lory simultaneously.

Lory was still on the bed, barely could open her eyes, her jaw hangs loose, and her expression blank "I don't know what the hell you are gals talking about?"

"Sanguan Li Ye!"

"Zhuang Li Yu!" 

They shouted at the same time.

"Who?" Lory's eyebrows furrow, she feel even more lost.

"Sanguan Wu Ci younger sister!"

"Zhuang bao Joe younger sister!"

They shouted at the same time again.

"…."

'Did you gals practice this before?'

Lory removed her blanket and got out of her bed, she massaged her nape and yawn widely then sigh "I still don't understand what you all talking about, by the way, is rude to disturb my sleep"

"You still sleeping, but it almost noon, don't you feel hungry?" Ming Yue Yin helps Lory to open the window, obviously, the sun is high so Lory realizes she overslept.

"And I'm not the only one who rude here, Xi Ying also come!" Ming Yue Yin feel wronged.

"No, I'm not, I bring red bean soup and mantao for an appetizer before lunch" Yang Xi Ying opens the lid with a smug face.

the delicious fragrant make Lory's stomach growl, she does feel hungry "Xi Ying is the best!" Lory immediately takes a seat, the sweet fragrant and the steaming mantao inside the bamboo steamer increased her appetite.

Ming Yue Yin gives Yang Xi Ying side eyes "Bootlicker" she pouted her lips.

"I like to call it sensible" Yang Xi Ying smiles cunningly.

Lory ignore their friendly bickering since she is too tired and hungry to care about them "Let's eat everyone, I cannot think when I'm hungry and someone please make some tea"

"Sure!" Ming Yue Yin replies quickly but she shouted to the door carelessly "Su Yi, Su Feng!"

Ming Yue Yin subordinated immediately came with new cutlery and fresh brew tea then Ming Yue Yin and Yang Xi Ying cordially take a seat, Lory is not someone who has her meal before taking a bath but she is too hungry right now and she also got curious what happened to her friends.

After she finishes her meal her brain finally worked again, turn out Sanguan Li Ye was visit Yuan Shao's residence with an excuse to show her gratitude for helping her during their carriage accident a few days ago.

Yuan Shao is not a heartless man towards woman because he also has a younger sister, he knows if he rejects her in front of other people her reputation will be ruined, even though he can turn blind eye to the situation but he worries about the opportunist Sanguan clan would take advantage and force him to take responsibility so to avoid trouble he accepts sanguan li ye arrival.

Who knew what really happened when Ming Yue Yin visits Yuan Shao she saw Yuan Shao and sanguan Li Ye being close to each other, Yuan Shao look flustered and Sanguan Li Ye look shy, Ming Yue Yin immediately thought there something between them, and without saying anything she left Yuan Shao residence with a broken heart.

"Are you sure that what happened?" Lory frowned, she can't believe Yuan Shao is a fickle man.

"Aunty, I'm not blind" she rebuked.

"Well, you might be misunderstood, do you asked general Yuan what happened?" Lory props her chin with her palm on the table seemingly doubtful with the whole situation.

Ming Yue Yin stares at Lory as if she is crazy "Do you think he would be honest to me, if he does something wrong do you think he would admit it?"

Lory blink her eyes innocently "Well….yeah"

Ming Yue Yin rolls her eyes.

"I agree with Lory, general Yuan doesn't seem like a liar to me, he also a self-righteous man with the strong principle I don't think he would lie to you" Yang Xi Ying chimed in. 

Ming Yue Yin pursed her lips, she doesn't agree or disagree with Yang Xi Ying's words, she mum while continue sipping her tea. Lory let out a long sigh, she is wondering if Ming Yue Yin still traumatized for what happened in the past, she was being deceived by her own father, and everyone that close to her, maybe that wound still left scars in her heart make her overreacted with any slight chance of lies.

Lory is useless to knock some sense on her so she shifted the conversation to Yang Xi Ying "So, why Zhuang Li Yu is here?"

"She came with Zhuang Bao Jie I think the Zhuang Family wants to arrange a marriage between Zhuang Li Yu with one of the sanguan family's sons" Yang Xi Ying gives a half-shrug indifferently.

"So how did you know she came here to chassed Master Li instead?" Lory curiously asks.

"Because she bravely visits the Tie shan Manor to meet my husband, she said she wants to say sorry about what happened at that time, it's funny she thinks I'm that stupid!" she sneers.

"Is master Li accept her arrival?" Lory asked.

"If he did, he would sleep outside for two months" Yang Xi Ying smiles wickedly while sipping her tea gracefully.

"..." Lory prays that Li Mo Zhen never make Yang Xi Ying upset.

"See, if he a good man he would never give other women a chance so it's confirmed that stupid general is not the right man for me!" she tossed her hair in anger, she is proudful women and a great ruler she would never succumb at man feet in the name of love, please…she is much better than that.

"We still not sure about that…." Lory tries to reason with her.

"Yes, don't make a hasty decision or you will regret it later" Yang Xi Ying also tries to coax Ming Yue Yin.

"What, why should I regret it, there's a lot of good men out there just look Hei Shen king palace, the Mong brothers also great, I will not believe there is no other man other than that slag general" she hit the table loudly, the Su sister can only sigh inwardly. They are also there but the situation is not as bad as the empress said, General Yuan at that time look trouble and slightly annoyed he didn't look like a man who was in the middle of romantic rendezvous. 

"Aunty just gives me Mong…..who is that guy name again, oh, Mong Yi!" she snaps her finger "He will do!"

Lory raised her eyebrows "He will not!" she rather sends Mong Yi to the beast den at least he got a fighting chance. As superior she would not send her people to be bullied.

"Why not!" She whined.

"Because I'm a good leader" she states the obvious.

Suddenly Su Jin came, she bows her head and said: "Your majesty, General Yuan is here, he request to meet you"

Ming Yue Yin presses her lips into a thin line then she waved her hand "Tell him I'm busy!"

Su Jin was startled she didn't expect this, she thought her majesty and general Yuan relationship is quite deep, she looks flustered when she glances at the other Su sister they sign her to leave immediately "Ye – yes your majesty, this servant will excuse herself" Su Jin leave the room in a hurry.

Ming Yue Yin saw lory and yang Xi Ying give her perplexed looks she stubbornly raised her chin arrogantly "WHAT?"

Lory lifts both hands in surrender "Nothing…"

Yang Xi Ying sips her tea then shook her head tiredly.
