OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 306 THE MASTER RULER'S SCENARIO
H-3 wedding reception Li An.
Xin Er packed up the necessities she would bring to Beijing tomorrow. Liang Jia asked him to prepare everything from clothes, jewelry that he would wear on H day, as well as other small things from his residence only. The big madam wanted to intervene sorting the items Xin Er would bring.
“Your son-in-law is a leading man, very wise if we can keep his face in the eyes of the guests. You have to perform accordingly, which is why I don't allow you to appear innocent during the show. This diamond necklace will add to your beauty when wearing that maroon dress.” Muttering Liang Jia, he handed over the red box containing his jewelry.
Xin Er nodded, her eyes shone with awe and haru over Liang Jia's good treatment. “Thank you very much, madam. I'll take good care of your jewelry, definitely return it intact from there.”
Liang Jia chuckled softly at Xin Er's innocence, “I didn't say lend to you, items already given should not be asked back. This is for you, Xin Er.”
Xin Er stunned, “Ah, really thank you very much madam.” Xin Er bowed respectfully. After putting on a full and happy look, Xin Er's facial expression changed again after she remembered something that had not been certain of her mistress.
“Mistress, are you positive you can't come?” Xin Er asked expectantly.
Liang Jia was seen sighing heavily then shaking her head, “It seems like there is no hope, until now Li San did not make a decision. Better I shut up, than later the impact you are not allowed to go.”
Xin Er and Liang Jia looked at each other for a moment, the two women were sad. Had Liang Jia been able to attend, it was likely that Weini would have come with Xiao Jun anyway. They should have had a chance to meet and open up to each other back then, but it seemed that Liang Jia had to be a little patient again.
“Don't be sad, we still have another chance. Give my regards to Li An and Wen Ting, this is a little present for your daughter. Tell him I'm happy for him.” Liang Jia thrust out a large and thick red angpao, then a large jewelry box to Xin Er.
Xin Er with trembling hands accepted the grant of her employer, how sincere and kind the employer was to her family. “I represent Li An thank you for mistress.”
The scene of the two old ladies being cut off, when the sound of knocking on the door sounded intense. The voice of a servant shouted conveying the arrival of the two misses who were Liang Jia's daughters. The big madam frowned, an untimely coincidence as her daughter's visit interrupted their serious conversation. Liang Jia allowed them to join her room.
Yue Xin and Yue Xin entered hurriedly, the facial water of the two misses changed as she looked at Xin Er standing beside her mother. But their gaze was immediately fixated on her mother, and Yue Xin immediately clasped her mother.
“Greetings to mom.” Said Yue Xiao who stood up then slightly bowed to pay his respects, while Liang Jia was still confused by the attitude of her second daughter.
“Mother, I want to have an important talk with you. Can we just be three?” Yue Xin said that while glancing at Xi Er, she wanted the old servant to be self-conscious and retreat from before them.
Xin Er certainly knew her limits, she immediately bowed to Liang Jia for permission to pass from there.
“Speaking up, he's not bothering us. What's the matter my daughter? Why is your face soaked? You got less sleep?” Liang Jia kept Xin Er from staying there. Just the affair with the two spoiled princesses did not need to uproot the maid. Xin Er according, she stood up with a slightly lowered gaze.
Failing to ask her mother to evacuate Xin Er out, Yue Xin finally had no choice. The girl lowered her head deeply, she needed to sigh for a moment before making her point. “Mother, please help me .. Please persuade father to cancel my match, I am not ready to marry.” Yue Xin clasped tightly onto her mother's handcuffs, her eyes started to glaze over.
Liang Jia flinched, the news he had just heard was so shocking, like a thunderbolt on a clear day. “You're set up? Your father didn't tell me anything. Where did you hear that?” Liang Jia asked his daughter, she was really confused now.
Yue Xin and Yue Xiao looked at her mother with puzzled looks, then turned to look at Liang Jia. “So the morning my father's aide came to me and delivered my decree. He asked me to prepare because in a few days a man from Macau will come to propose to me.”
Those in the room dissolved in silence. Until Yue Xin again persuaded her mother, “Mother, please talk to father, I am not ready to separate again with you guys. I'm not married.” Yue Xin started to sob.
At a time when Liang Jia had yet to find a way to help her daughter, the voice of an aide shouting for access shocked them. After approaching Yue Xin with shocking news, it was now Liang Jia's turn to get a shock from her husband's envoy.
“Greetings to the great mistress, I bring a decree of the great lord stating that the mistress is not allowed to attend a wedding reception in Beijing. Meanwhile, Xin Er's servants were allowed to leave
by oneself. Thus I say, I beg pamit.”
“Wait!” Liang Jia held the man's aide past, his shout was quite effective, the man stopped then looked down at Liang Jia.
Liang Jia approached him while taking out a piece of pure gold that he took from his closet. He thrust at the man, but the adjutant seemed afraid to accept it. Liang Jia smiled and continued to force for the man to accept. His efforts succeeded, the man was only selling expensive but his eyes remained green on the treasure.
“Tell me, why did the big master suddenly match the second miss?” Liang Jia asked while whispering. Everyone in the room listened, but no one dared to interfere.
The adjutant seemed to think for a moment then with a lowered face gave an answer. “Even the madam, according to what I heard from the talk of the great lord with his advisor, they want to accelerate the marriage
young master. In order not to process a lot of steps, the second miss is required to get married faster. That's all I know, madam.”
Everyone who heard that gasped, including Xin Er. Liang Jia was unable to comment, he simply told the aide to pass immediately from before him. Liang Jia's gaze was still empty, a bad premonition began to overwhelm his mind.
Yue Xin and Yue Xiao surrounded her mother, “Mother, what should we do?” Yue Xin asked worriedly.
Liang Jia stared gently at her two daughters in turn. “You go back to the pavilion first, don't think too much. I will definitely talk to your father, calm down ya.” Liang Jia reassured his two daughters.
Yue Xin and Yue Xiao complied, they nodded and parted from before her mother. “We are waiting for good news from mom. We beg you, mother.”
After the two princesses left, Liang Jia turned her gaze at the door then looked anxiously at Xin Er. It was as if he was about to share his anxiety with the old woman.
“Mistress, what next? The great master seemed to have a veiled plan. I'm afraid we can't derail Xiao Jun and Ms Li's engagement.” Xin Er said, she started thinking about fate
his son.
Liang Jia grabbed Xin Er's hand, “You stay in Beijing only, don't rush home. My hunch is bad, Li San may have a foul hunch. Request protection for your son-in-law, he's a reliable young man.” Said Liang Jia trying to convince Xin Er.
“But what about you, mistress?” Xin Er was worried about Liang Jia if she left him long enough.
Liang Jia shook her head, “Don't mind me, she can't possibly hurt me. But you, this is the only chance to get away from him. Don't come back here, hide in your son's place. Ah, you guys have to be careful, it could be that Li San is watching you there.”
Li San never changed, silence doesn't mean inaction. It's just like a time bomb and the ruler starts to ignite it.
