In a hut near the forest, a man just woke up. Reaching for the other side of the bed, he smiled while remembering what transpired last night. Moving his hand, he frowned. He opens his eyes and his eyes turns red.

"Where is she?", hastily, he went looking everywhere for her. But he couldn't find her anywhere in the hut. Looking at the state of his clothes, he couldn't just go out with just a blanket. So he sat on the bed, thinking, 'Just wait when I found her!'.

Looking around once more, he found a gold whistle and blew on in. In a second a black shadow appears in front of him.

"Master!"

"Find me clothes and investigate which woman was with me last night!", he commanded coldly.

"Yes master!", that shadow disappear.

Gripping his fist,"You wouldn't be able to escape from me!". From the glint in his eyes, he is determined to have her at all cost.

Meanwhile in the Li mansion, Xiao Xi couldn't stop her eyes from bulging out from the eye sockets. Those red and purple marks on her miss's body shows what had happened the night she went missing. Looking at Li Xi Rui inside the tub she wanted to ask.

"Mi..s..s.."

"I know what you wanted to ask but don't bother. Just don't tell anyone", Li Xi Rui calmly instructed her.

Xiao Xi knew her miss's virtue is on the line decided to keep the secret but tears still fells upon her cheeks. She helps her miss wear her clothes and dried her hair with a cloth. She was so silent that Li Xi Rui started to feel uncomfortable.

"You don't have to worry; I don't have a plan to marry anyone. After all, love is not for me and I doubt that I will ever find them", she told Xiao Xi truthfully.

Xiao Xi, knowing how stubborn her miss can be just kept silent as she dry and brushing Li Xi Rui's long chestnut hair. In her mind, her miss is the most beautiful lady in the country. With her talent no one will refuse her. But that damned crown prince jilted her. Didn't he know no one would ever propose to the miss again after that? He ruined her marriage prospect. And that vixen Mu Jiu Jiu, how dare she took what rightfully her miss'?! Her miss tries her might to be worthy of that man and gives up what she loves the most. Luckily her miss's is a natural at the ***four arts that even when she was just a new learner, she could do better than most ladies her age. If the woman like her miss is unworthy, then who else is worthy? Silently, she grieved for her miss. Maybe, one day her miss will find someone, she prayed in her heart.

After several days of peace, in the Jian Palace, all the servant is being cautious. Everyone could feel the cold emitted from the 2nd prince room.

*THUD!* The tea cup is smashed on the table.

"Still couldn't find her?", that voice is cold with no emotion can be detected. If ***Jie Yi didn't witness the remains of the teacup, he would think that it was just like any other day and the 2nd prince is not extremely angry. In his head, he scolded himself. How can he find her if even the 2nd prince do not know how she looks like? But it's his duty to do what his master's wish without excuses.

"This servant is incompetent. Begging for punishment from master", he kowtowed.

"Look for her till you found her. Don't come back till you do", Long Jie didn't spare him another look and called for another teacup. Jie Yi silently breathe out. His master had forgiven him. If it's any other day, the punishment he gets will be unbearable for failing his duty. But because his master's priority is the lady, he decided not to punish him and search for the lady instead. Disappearing from his master's sight, Long Jie smiles, "Let's see how long can she hide".
