"Oh my…" Lory pretended to be flustered she covered her smile with her sleeve sheepishly "Thank you for your compliment Miss Yang" Lory replied humbly, but then Lory pursed her lips in confusion "But Miss Yang….rather than me, don't you have a better example  in your own home compare to me I was nothing in front of Yang Xi Ying?"

Yang Qiou Xi instantly tensed up, the innocent face that she had been trying so hard to maintain all along was almost shattered under Lory's unfathomable gaze, due to being too anxious Yang Qiou Xi subconsciously jumble her words.

"Yang Xi Ying…oh, I…I mean…of course" 

"Not only is she graceful and calm Yang Xi Ying is also proficient in the four arts, she has also received a lot of praise from many people for her embroidery and tea brewing skills that it would be unreasonable for you as Yang Xi Ying's younger sister seeking  a commoner like me to learn about anything, what would people think if they found out I dared to teach a noble daughter like you, wouldn't I just embarrass myself?" Lory waved her hand while laughing at herself.

"That…" Yang Qiou Xi held her tongue, she couldn't refute.

Actually, that was her plan, she wanted everyone to know that Lory without a shame dare to teach a noble daughter who had grown up in an aristocrat family and had been received four art and etiquette lessons since a young age if Lory dare to say she let yang Xi Ying teach her out of courtesy what would people think of Lory, would they think she is not only shameless but also arrogant and foolish?

On the other hand, they will not think Yang Qiou Xi wrong either after all she is just a young girl who has never seen the world or so they would think Yang Qiou Xi is an innocent – pure young woman who had been lead by the nose by the imperious woman like Lory alas Lory reputation would ruin even more and inevitably implicated Zhao Li Xin thus Yang Qiou Xi hopes it instilled dissatisfaction in Zhao Li Xin heart and perhaps he would pity her for being lead astray by his stupid wife and perhaps Long Ming would have a good opinion about her.

However Lory's words shocked her, Yang Qiou Xi did not expect that a woman with a low background who had no education, would have a critical mind and speak her opinion frankly and eloquently like Lory, therefore Yang Qiou Xi was dumbfounded, her mouth slightly opened as she tried to make excuses but no words come out.

Just because Lory didn't care about other people's views but that didn't mean she would let others played her like a marionette, hence, no one likes to be treated like a fool. 

Lory raised her cup then she took a sip of her tea quietly, her movement was smooth and light it didn't look she was trying to show off her good manner if people saw her like this no one would believe she was coming from a remote village.

Yang Qiou Xi subconsciously clenched her fists, she was certain that Long Ming had sent a famous teacher to teach her about etiquette so she will not embarrass him, there's no way a village woman could behave like that without a rigorous train.

Well, Lory does have rigorous training...as a royalty.

Yang Qiou Xi didn't realize her nails sinking deeper into her skin until they were pale as she was overcome with irritation and anger, she hated how she feel inferior in front of someone whose birthright was much lower than her, yet she felt so small in front of Lory.

Lory noticed the gloomy expression on Yang Qiou Xi's face but he wasn't proud to know the opponent was an immature teenager, "Thank you, for your visit Miss Yang but I'm afraid I'm not feeling well so I can't accompany you" Lory didn't want to waste more time and he didn't want to get involved with Yang Qiao Xi anymore.

How could Yang Qiou Xi not know that Lory subtly kicked her out of the Manor, rage welled up in her chest as the Governor's daughter when she was kicked from someone else's house, NEVER!

Lory pretended not to know Yang Qiou Xi's resentment, "Ling Zi, prepare our best Tieguanyin tea for young Miss Yang," Lory said to Ling Zi. 

"Yes, young madam" Ling Zi bowed politely then she went outside for tea.

Lory then turned his gaze to Yang Qiou Xi who didn't dare to look her in the eyes for fear that Lory would see the hatred simmering in her eyes.

"Miss Yang, this is a small token from me and my husband for the fruit you gave earlier, please send and mine and my husband regards for Governor Yang and Madam Yang as well" Lory was basically showing her undisputed position in Hei Shen as she could speak for Long Ming behalf.

Lory's behavior only made Yang Qiou Xi angrier, she hated how Lory acted as if Lory was above her just because she married Long Ming.

"Madam. Zhao, you don't have to…" her eyes were filled with anger even though she was smiling.

However, Ling Zi had already entered with a luxurious little wooden box. Ling Zi then showed Lory the contents of the box after Lory nodded, she closed the box and then handed it to Yang Qiou Xi politely. 

"Please accept Miss Yang….I insist" said Lory with an enigmatic smile.

Having no way of refusing Lory's offer, she reluctantly accepted the small box, when she looked up Yang Qiou Xi saw Ling Zi sneering at her.

Then she realized not only Ling Zi but everyone in the room looked at her with mocking expression, suddenly Yang Qiou Xi faces tense with anger.

Yang Qiou Xi didn't understand why they were treating him like this, heck she refused to believe that the Hei Shen sect members were on Lory's side, that they all hated her guts.

Why, why do they all seem to hate her? it must be because Lory married Long Ming because she is Hei Shen's mistress, right? so they all fawned over her, that makes sense, it must be like that!

to be honest, it's also Hei Shen sect member's reason but just because Lory married Zhao Li Xin doesn't automatically they will like her, maybe they will respect Lory or respect her because she is master's wife but to be genuinely like Lory?...now, that had to be earned, and Lory had earned it.

Yang Qiou Xi felt better after reassuring herself, she took a deep breath to calm herself down, she told herself everything would change for the better after she became Long Ming's wife.

When that happened, she would make Lory regret she had treated her like this, she will make Lory remembered where is she come from!

Well, the word 'when' should be marked in bold.

"Thank you madam for your generosity, I will keep that in mind" Yang Qiou Xi bowed her head gracefully like a perfect noblewoman.

Lory pursed her lips wondering, 'Is that a threat?'

Yang Qiou Xi handed the box to her maid, then she was escorted by ling Zi to leave the Manor, but before she left, Lory suddenly called her again "Miss Yang!"

Yang Qiou Xi paused she slowly turned around her face showing she was annoyed, Lory held back a smile then she said to her: "You are Xi Ying's sister so I will share some of my thoughts..."

Yang Qiou Xi frowned wondering what Lory wanted to say, Lory then said, "Many people wish for rains, then get upset when a storm comes, therefore be careful what you wish for because for every action there will be consequences"

Yang Qiou Xi's face darkens, her nose flared thinking Lory is threatening her, Yang Qiou Xi gritted her teeth "Young madam teaching, I will forever be grateful" she gave a sardonic smile.

Lory chuckled seeing her tantrum "Good day, Miss Yang"

Yang Qiou Xi lifted her chin arrogantly then she harrumphs and walk away through the door. Lory massaged her temples while hearing Yang Qiou Xi stomping her feet furiously then Lory let out a long sigh, "Kids these days…" she complained like an old woman. 

[Why do I feel like we haven't seen him last?] Girsha narrowed her round green eyes.

Lory scratched her head in exasperation and grumbled in a low voice [Aaah, cr*p!]  Lory then abruptly rose from her seat. And walk to the door.

[Where are you going, girl?] Girsha flew behind her.

[I need to talk to Xi Ying...] Lory clicked her tongue.
