Xing wandered around in the streets for sometime trying to figure out how did Chu Weiye end up in such state and she couldn"t find out why. Didn"t she want to be the Empress and now she is one? Why can"t she be happy getting what she wanted and let others be happy too? And what would make her hurt an innocent animal and raise her hand to hit her own son?Xing felt tired with all her thoughts and she found a restaurant and entered it. Since she was alone, she just tried to find a seat in the common area.
Xing was walking looking to her side and there was this other girl who looked barely sixteen in nice clothes walking with her maid. The girl was loudly talking with her friend, another girl on their way out of the restaurant and Xing b.u.mped into her and the girl who was really short hurt her face a bit as she b.u.mped into Xing.
Xing felt the sharp pain in her shoulder and turned to apologise but before she could say anything, the girl"s maid started screaming at Xing,
"Where are your eyes? Can"t you watch while walking? Now kneel and apologise to my mistress", she went on blabbering making Xing flabbergasted.
"Both of us are at fault. So why must I be the only one apologising?", Xing wasn"t pleased. The clothes Xing wore always looked simple even though they are pretty expensive. Only those who has seen such fine silk will recognise it and for others it would look ordinary. The maid looking at Xing felt like she should be some poor woman with no background and since she is not apologising to her mistress she was not pleased.
The girl who was talking with her friend wasn"t pleased by Xing"s reply either.
"You there!", her friend called a waitress there carrying a bucket of dirty water to dispose off, "Pour that water over her... She insulted my friend!"
The waitress looked at Xing and she was rather confused as to what she must do... Both women are above her status and she wasn"t willing to offend one or the other. She was even scared to look at Xing who by now was irritated and shooting daggers out of her eyes.. What an unlucky day!
Seeing the waitress paused, the maid of the girl plucked the bucket from the waitress and with no second thoughts poured the dirty water at Xing.
"How dare you insult the fiancé of Lord Li?", she said while pouring the water.
Xing who was already in a bad mood thinking about Chu Weiye, felt her heart skip a beat by the proclamation of that maid. Did she just say fiancé of Lord Li? Chenglei has a fiancé? How...? Why...? I thought.... He didn"t have any woman! May be it is some other Lord Li? Possible, right?
Uh! Who am I kidding? There is only one Lord Li in the city and he is my man and he found himself a woman.... It must be true otherwise he wouldn"t allow some woman to bear the name of his fiancé and run around.... How could he? He forgot me and found himself a younger woman. He forgot me... He really forgot me... What should I do?
Xing"s eyes clouded and she saw the maid throwing the dirty water at her and she pulled the girl towards her and the dirty water landed on her and only Xing"s sleeves got slightly wet.
The maid was sh.e.l.l shocked to see the sudden actions of Xing that lead her mistress to get wet and her mistress wasn"t pleased and her friend too.
"I"m sorry, young miss Liang.... Please forgive me...", the maid knelt and begged. Her friend who was standing beside her, raised her hand to hit Xing.
Xing who was gritting her teeth to stop herself from crying in public, just glared at her and turned to leave when she b.u.mped into the st.u.r.dy chest of the man who made her feel unwanted and ripped her heart out of her chest as he had done such an egregious act she never expected him to do.
"What happened here?" he asked and tried to grab her hand but Xing glared at him.
So he is here for his fiancé? He couldn"t bear to see her dripping wet and he is trying to interrogate me? To h.e.l.l with him!
"Lord Li... Your fiancé did it by herself. I have no need to explain! ", she said and with a dry smile and she couldn"t see his expression because her eyes were clouded and she left the restaurant.
As if she"d let him persecute her for another woman! She will never put up with it. But If she"d seen his expression she"d have seen how worried he was for her.
"Who is she?", he asked Lin Mubai who was with him. His eyes were fixed on the lonely back of the woman who just left and was angry and crying at the same time.
He noticed her leaving the palace with extreme sadness as if she did something wrong to his brother and decided to cheer her up and followed her. But here he had to see her being humiliated by some maid?

Unacceptable!
And fiancé? Who"s that? I don"t remember being engaged with anyone... How could that stupid woman believe some maid saying I am engaged to someone? If I had a fiance why would I try to spend all my time with that stupid woman. I even let her govern my home... Stupid woman!
"Didn"t you hear Lord Li, catch that woman!", Miss Liang"s friend was overjoyed to see Lord Li there. No one saw the slight panic in Miss Liang"s eye dissipate. She knew there were talks for her marrying Lord Li but he never agreed to it.... Neither did he refuse... So she told all her friends that she was engaged to be married with Lord Li and judging by Lord Li now trying to talk for her, he must have feelings towards her, right?
While the women were misunderstanding, Lin Mubai realised how cold his boss" voice was and realised he was not asking about the woman who left but the woman who wronged the one who left. He knew his big brother wolf is so obsessed with Miss Táng. He was so obsessed that he asked him to find the perfume she is using as he wanted to feel her presence with him all the time...
Lin Mubai knew his brother wanted to humiate the woman who tried to humiliate his woman!
"This is Miss Liang... You already refused Lord Liang when he begged you to marry his daughter but she and her family kept on telling everyone that she is your fiancé. You were about to deal with them", Lin Mubai phrased his words so that he expressed how much his boss does not care about that woman who got dirty water splashed on her by her own maid.
What a foolish woman! Getting splashed by dirty water!
"What a tras.h.!.+", Chenglei said without even turning to look at her, "Mubai... Find every other trash who try to falsely a.s.sociate with me! ", he said coldly with a sneer and left the restaurant and everyone in the restaurant started murmuring pointing at Miss Liang.
"What a shameless woman...",
"Trying to lie to be someone"s fiancé to get advantages...."
"She is ugly..."
Miss Liang felt like she was standing in burning fire even though she was wet all over and even her friend looked at her with hostility now.
What"s the use of making her connection when she is not the fiancé of the great Lord Li? To think she is not only in his heart but also she offended the great Lord Li... How could anyone survive in the capital city offending him?
Oh! Why didn"t I choose my friend wisely! To think I even paid our bill each time we went out..! Her friend felt irked!
Meanwhile another young woman who watched everything happening had a smirk in her lips.
Interesting... So Lord Li has interest towards that black-haired woman!
"Xiao Si, find out everything about that woman!", she ordered when the burly guy beside her acknowledged.
Chenglei walked out of the restaurant to find that woman and clear the misunderstandings but he could not find her anywhere.
Where could she have gone? She looked so devastated....
