"What happened to the 2nd prince?", whispered a maid to another maid.

"I heard he has been angered by a woman", that maid replied.

"Who? Which woman? Did the second prince is finally interested in a woman?", the maid's eye bulging out from the sockets.

"Did this mean we will finally get a princess consort?", another chimed in.

"But I heard yesterday, second prince escorted Miss Li home. They even walked side by side all the way till her front door!", the first maid exclaimed.

"If that's true, then will miss Li become our princess consort?", second maid asked.

"How can that be possible?!! Everyone knows Miss Li is not a good woman. How can she be compatible with our 2nd prince?", the third maid is indignant.

"Whether Miss Li is compatible, a good or a bad woman that is not your business is it? If you all have time to chit chat here, then go wash all the other servant's clothes!", steward Wang punished all the gossiping maid.

Scurrying away, all the maids hid their face and went to collect other clothes.

With a black face, steward Wang went to inspect other quarters. These maid, instead of doing their job, they are gossiping like old women in the market!

Meanwhile in another room~

"Master!", Jie Yi kneel.

"Say it!", from last night he hasn't slept. At first he was mad and kept thinking about that wretched woman. Afterward he felt guilty of thinking about another woman when he already had a beloved. Then remembering the red marks on her collarbone, he can't help but be angered again! What is wrong with him? For all 25 years, he had been oblivious with other woman's advances. But now?

Taking the cue from his master, Jie Yi recite....

"Miss Li Xi Rui in the past week had been staying in her house after the annulment. After a few days, Miss Li and her maid went to the tea pavilion but the only one returned was her maid. It's not until morning the miss had come back with the Li guards. This event has been suppressed by the left prime minister to save her reputation...", before Jie Yi continue his report, Long Jie interrupted him.

"When was it exactly?", Long Jie asked Jie Yi without looking at his direction.

"Ah? Ooo...", realising his master is talking about the incident, he replied, "It was the day master were found in the hut".

"You can go!", bark the second Prince. Jie Yi was about to continue reporting but seeing his master's expression is not good, he fled. 'Master, your temperament is not good for Jie Yi's heart!'. Serving him is like guarding a sleeping volcano. Dangerous and unexpected. Silently, Jie Yi prayed for him and the other hidden guards' safety.

"...could it be her?", Long Jie is suspicious. Did she plan this? He is confused. He never thought his most memorable night is shared with that wicked woman. Now what should he do?

"Ai... is it not a good time to visit my good brother?", from the direction of the door, emerged a white haired man wearing a black robe.

Without looking at the door, he already knew who it was, "Rui Sheng, did you come to cause mischief again?".

"Ah, but I never do anything bad. It's all retribution", Rui Sheng corrected.

"Why did you come?", unable to speak nonsense with this sly fox, he just bluntly asked his intention.

"Hahahaha! Why so impatient? Well... I heard your flower have been plucked. I come here to congratulate you. Congratulations!", Rui sheng sat down beside Long Jie. Pouring himself some tea, he leisurely sips the cold tea.

'This Rui Sheng talking as if he had been taken advantage of. If he didn't allow it, nobody can make him do anything!'. "So you've heard. So tell me who is that girl", Long Jie needed confirmation.

Smiling Rui Sheng unhurriedly speaks, "But you already knew who she is don't you? The present her is no longer the past her".

"Do you mean she has changed? Did that mean she didn't plan that night?", Long Jie has long known his cousin's character. His vague answer sometimes made other people frustrated but he somehow grasps his way of conveying words.

"Why does it matter? The rice has been cooked. Naturally it's better if you just check her mark", Rui Sheng looked up to Long Jie while his eyes glint for a brief moment.

"Mark...hmmmm", contemplating on how he should check his mark, Long Jie fell silence.

The mark they are talking about is in a shape of a Qilin. This is the mark he had been born with. Long Jie is not actually the crown prince blood related brother. The emperor is not his true father. The emperor and his father was once trained with the same teacher and thus have senior and junior brother relationship. After his family has been annihilated, the emperor rescued him and told the empress to adopt him as her son. This is his way to shield him. Rui Sheng is his cousin from his mother's side and he can divine a prophecy. Unfortunately, with his power Rui Sheng developed a bit of narcissistic tendency.

Mumbling, Rui Sheng said slowly, "It looks like it's going to be a good show".

This moment, Long Jie is in a deep thought and didn't heard what his cousin has mumbled. If he knew what will happen afterwards due to Rui Sheng's playfulness, he would strangle him to death!

'Ah... Jie... for how long will your mask be intact. Just follow the fate ah... It's sure going to be a good show! Don't worry, big brother Sheng will certainly look upon you favorably. Li Xi Rui, I'm looking forward to meet you', laughed Rui Sheng.

Meanwhile at the tea pavilion, Li Xi Rui just signed the contract and will receive 50% commission every month. Li Xi Rui didn't lacked money but she figured, making more money doesn't seem too bad either. As they walked out, every tables in the tea pavilion ordered her 'Braised Duck Legs with Fried Potatoes'. The satisfied faces, the oily hands and voices bantering for food, make this once a leisure tea house, turn into market.

Riding the carriage, Li Xi Rui and Xiao Xi arrived at the Li manor. After checking up on Bai Wu Sheng and Qi Qi, Li Xi Rui went to rest in her room. She decided to start her plan to protect her family. So she started recalling all the major event that will happen in the future. Folding the paper, she hides the brown paper. That night, sleepiness hit her early, so by the midnight, she has been having a good sleep that she didn't realized a black shadow has just entered her quarter.
