The melodious sounds of musical instruments slowly filled the air then six beautifuldies with long white sleeves dances on the stage with white fans on both their hands, the beautifuldies twist and turn gracefully as they follow the music tempo. The great performance enchanted the audience their eyes glued to the stage, the youngdies face beamed in joy is not every day they could see such a performance even Lory got excited.


    Despite everything that happened Lory didn''t think is a terrible night, how could this be terrible? she eats good food, watched a good show, apanied by her two best friends, she even got the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery so why must shein???


    For Lory good or bad is only a mindset if you focus only on the negative then everything around you will be bad but if you see around you in a positive way then you realize that everything is not that bad, and that''s how Lory sees the world.


    Ling Zi was astonished that Lory could maintain her jolly mood when everyone is obviously talking behind her back, at first Ling Zi thought Lory is only pretending to be alright, which is normal because that what noblewomen would do to keep their dignity intact, however, she realizes that her madam is genuinely happy, she trull don''t give it da*n what people said about her.


    What Ling Zi didn''t know that Lory was a public figure in her old world, as a Princess of one of the most powerful Kingdoms in the world, of course, she gains a lot of people attention, although Hand citizen rarely talks bad about the royal family but that not the same case with people outside Hand kingdom.


    Even someone like Lory cannot avoid bad rumors and ndering that run through the media even though the Hand public reaction would immediately taking control of the situation, but when the news got out on social media then nothing else you can''t do until it calmed down on their own.


    And that''s how Lory grew her thick skin, she already uses people bad-mouthing behind her back so what these nobledies do is nothing more than a p in the wrist, Lory barely feel anything.


    Lory took another sweet moon cake on her te with a chopstick as she enjoyed the show and asionallyughs while talking with Yang Xi Ying and Ming Yue Yin. Lory ignorant with people around her make the young nobledies bewildered and upset, this is their first time their taunt ispletely ignored.


    an hourter the show finally over, this time is the nobledies turn to show off their talent in front of the empress and empress dowager,one by one the youngdies present herself in front of the Empress dowager and the empress Jing, they would introduce themself and exchanged pleasantries with the royal elder before they presented their talent, is almost like the beauty pageant minus the bikini.


    During the show Lory whispers at Yang Xi Ying, she asked why no one is singing and Yang Xi Ying said it because singing only performs by songstress and courtesan so this type of performance is considered to be inappropriate and vulgar.


    Lory widened her eyes in surprise and slightly disappointed because she didn''t know what type of music that people like to sing in this world, sadly it would take longer to hear to know about it.


    Lory watched the performance peacefully however this notst for too long if it so then Lory would not be called ''trouble ma''


    "Miss Luo, I heard that you are a very talented woman if you don''t mind please grant something to broaden our knowledge" one of thedies smiles mischievously. The words talented women sound ambiguous, everyone knows Lory is an uneducated vige girl so they are sure that Lory didn''t know anything about four art…..well, they are right!


    Four art in Lory''s world is not apulsory subject, not because is not important but the school takes the subject as an extracurricr activity, so it depends on the student whether they want to learn it or not and Lory does learn some musical instruments.


    Lory ys piano and a little bit violin, although Lucas yed violin better than her, Lory cannot be considered as a prodigy but good enough to not embarrassing herself. Lory knows how to paint but she had no clue how to use ink and she only knew a little about ''go'' after Bei Li Yan taught her during the voyage.


    Lory knows everyone is nitpicking her ws, but it''s okay she admits she didn''t know anything about the four art, what can she do? she has no interest in the subject and she wouldn''t start to learned something just to please stranger that she never knows.


    "I don''t know where do you hear the rumor but sadly I can''t y music instrument" Lory admit earnestly without trying to make an excuse.


    The otherdy giggles as theyughing at her they thought lory has resigned to her fate, Ming Yue Yin is furious she almost jumped from her seat but Lory held her hand under the table, Lory can''t let her interfere in this small bickering.


    Ming Yue Yin''s position is too sensitive and she cannot involve in this childish bickering without degrading her image and Lory can''t let that happen.


    Lory secretly winks at Ming Yue Yin, Lory give signs to trust her, Ming Yue Yin gnashes her teeth as surprperseed her anger. Yang Xi Ying who is more patient was looking down as she fiddles with the empty cup on her hand no one would know how furious she is right now.


    "Oh, so Miss Luo is unable to y instrument, what a pity I really wish to hear it..." the sigh with a disappointed look but the hint of mockery apparent in her eyes, and everyone knows it but no one-stop her since nobody like Lory presence.


    "Are you really can y anything, is Lord Long ming never teach you, you''ve been married for so long did you not learned anything?" thedy used her aszy and stupid woman. all the otherdies jeer at Lory and look at her with demeaning eyes.


    Lory is only a vige girl they feel Lory status is not matched them who is born from an aristocratic family, they hated the fact that Lory is married to someone like Long Ming and have a good rtionship with Empress Ming and Jiu Yun sect madam, they all feel Lory is not worth it and they don''t want her to join their circle.


    This sentiment is also the reason why they call Lory to miss all the time although they knew she''s married is a sort of humiliation as if they not acknowledged her status as Zhao Li Xin''s wife.


    "What about recite poetry, does Miss Luo knew any poetry? any kind of poetry is fine..." thedy got excited she can''t wait to see Lory cry.


    The other nobledies cover their mouth with their sleeves and giggles softly it''s obvious that they enjoy the show, they can''t believe Lorry would remain calm when she is humiliated in public.


    Yang Xi Ying can''t take it anymore she raised her head and in a cold voice, she chides the youngdy "Miss, why do you keep persistence do you know that you are being rude? or this is how youngdy teach in their family in this country?"


    Ming Yue Yin''s voice is calmed but her expression is dreadful "She is the Madam of Hei Shen sect, not a street performer, why you keep insist her to entertained you?"


    "And please called her Madam Zhao, we all know what is Long Ming real name is, you better address Madam Zhao correctly, I don''t want what happened to my step sister happened to you too" she raised her brows meaningfully.


    What happened to Ming Ru Yi is not a secret, everyone know that she deliberately insulted Zhao Li Xin on his face, her brave but foolish attitude make people shake their head helplessky, they don''t know should they pity the young princess or mocked her stupidity. Who told her to pluck the beast whisker?


    However there also another rumor that the one Ming Ru Yin insulted is not Zhao Li Xin but his wife instead, that''s why she ends up in a vegetable state until this day, first people didn''t believe it but after wat happened with the Lu n and Sacred Mountain peak they finally believed it.


    The youngdy who keeps ridicule Lory suddenly pale, she forgot about the Demon Lord who killed cut people head like grass "I….I don''t mean to.." she stuttered and the otherdies who wereughing before suddenly wipe the smile on her face instantly. The atmosphere bes tense as the image of the notorious Demon Lord emerges in their head.


    "Madam Zhao, thedy is still young, I hope you forgive her childish behavior" The empress Jing suddenly speak to calm the situation.


    Lory shifts her nce to the royal elder who finnaly decide to acknowledged her existance, Lory smile amicably "Of course…" then she looks at the youngdy who had face as white as sheet "There''s no sin for being young isn''t it" Lory inexplicable smile make everyone nervous, they hope Lory will not tell Long Ming what had happened today.


    The youngdy bow her head reluctantly and hurried back to her seat, the youngdy has humiliated herself toningt so she expectant to be punished when the rumor about what happened reach her home, knowing that the youngdy eyes welled up.


    The empress probe Lory''s behavior inwardly, she bes certain that this woman is not as simple as she showed herself to be, no wonder Long Ming very fond of her, this woman is….different.


    Lory herself didn''t hate the young girl, her reprimand towards the girl is only a reminder for anyone who wanted to bother her tonight, Lory didn''t want her night disturbed by a bunch of mean girls. However, there is one woman that still persistent to make trouble with her.


    "Madam Zhao, is a such of lovely night can you entertained this olddy for a while, I don''t mind with anything though" The Empress dowager smiles kindly like an elder to junior, because her seniority not even Ming Yue Yin could rebuked the old woman even though she has higher position.


    Some people is adamant to force her to embarrassed herself. The empress dowager expression remain kind and gentle, one cannot see the schemed in her eyes. The empress dowager n is simple, first she want to announce to people how worthless long Ming wife is, from there she want to spread rumor hat Lory only talent is climb her master bed just like a courtesan her ability is only seduced a man.


    Once her reputation crumble everything will pilled up like a smowball, the empress dowager sure not even Long ming could shut every people mouth at Yun Dao city, and she don''t have to be the one who spread the rumor with the presence of dozens nobledies and madam she sured the rumor wil spread to the city likea wildfire, when that happened the empress want to see how Hei Shen handle this matter.


    The nobledies exchanged nce they waiting for Lory to resign herself, they eager to see Lory calmed mask break, this time, not even empress Ming could help her.
