OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 391 FACES SLANDER
The pavilion of the Miss Li was already crowded with reporters who fulfilled an impromptu invitation. The news seekers did not hesitate to whisper to cause noise in the big room. The horrendous news that shook the country clearly caused internal unrest, the figure of Li San is indeed respected as a ruler who blooded the descendants of the king from the last dynasty. That is why Li San has the right to make rules in his residence and still maintain the customs of ancient traditions.
If not for the emergence of rumors spread by anyone from the media, about the case of the disappearance of Li San's youngest daughter who was declared dead, maybe the reporters will not stay for the sake of covering the clarification news of the Li family. So quickly the rumors circulated, following photos of a girl who grew up accused of being Li Yue Hwa, the youngest daughter who had died. I don't know what the motive of the news spreader who has not been traced his identity reveals the old disgrace of the Li family. What is certain is that one country has been shocked by the uncertainty of the news, if it is true that the rumor is then the cover of Li San's lies will be exposed, and this does not bode well for his family.
A sudden noise of silence as they watched Liang Jia with several bodyguards and his spokesperson enter the room. The figure of the grand mistress who was graceful and charismatic and rarely highlighted the news was now present to amaze the reporters who were clucking in admiration staring at Liang Jia. For the sake of meeting them face to face, Liang
Jia had to look perfect, dress up beautifully and put on her robe of greatness to show her firmness. He walked to the pulpit he had prepared for, there was no chance of retreating, he had to finish what he had started.
Liang Jia occupied his chair, he was so trained to hide his tension with a smile and calm expression. Educated attitude since childhood among the noble family, let alone she is his great mistress, of course he is good at bringing himself to stay calm. Liang Jia gestured for her spokesperson to start the event,
the Li clan only clarified without being willing to answer press questions.
The opening words that are just a stale base must also be said by Liang Jia, until he reached the session he had to state the core of the problem, for a moment he took a breath so that he could speak up.
“Actually this is just an internal matter of our family, sorry to widen and cause public unrest.” Clearly Liang Jia was intending to end his meeting with the press.
The atmosphere was again rowdy because the press had not received an explanation that did not answer their question mark. Until one of them ventured to ask the question, “Is it true that this great master Li has sacrificed his daughter? If the moment that little Miss Li was killed was obviously this terrible, a father would dare to kill his flesh and blood. Big madam, don't you want to explain to us?”
Boisterous at once, even they did not care about the cry of spokesman Liang Jia who insisted not to ask. Liang Jia squeezed his handkerchief, he was furious because their family's past was again disturbed, when it should be clear this problem and his daughter who had been found would soon gather with him.
“That's the past, we don't have to blame the past. For sure my youngest daughter will soon be back with us.” Firmly Liang Jia while standing was about to leave the room.
A reporter screamed again because he got a message from someone mysterious containing shocking news. “Oh, jeez this fact moreover? It turned out that the young lady Li who disappeared was wearing a mask! The photo circulating is a photo of his mask in order to avoid the plan to kill the great lord Li. And the only person who knew this big secret and tried to help the young lady was actually held captive by Mr. Li San. Gee whiz... Big master Li turns out to torture his own brother, master Li Kao Jing for not wanting his secret to leak and still will finish his daughter's life. Why is there such a fleeting ruler?” Shouted the reporter loudly and made all who heard him shock, including Liang Jia.
Liang Jia was restrained in the room, he felt trapped. From the content of the news he heard it was clear who was the mastermind behind the riots, it was just that Liang Jia could not help but think how scheming Kao Jing and Chen Kho prepared this attack to corner Li San in the public eye. Liang Jia trembled slightly, he retreated a few steps from where he stood. All the reporters were no longer in control, they were shouting questions that all cornered Li San. Liang Jia sat back in his chair, he had to think quickly to get a solution. There must be Kao Jing's men left nearby, and I don't know who was deliberately prepared to take down Li San step by step.

Grace was sitting unsettled guarding Li San, her heart was out there thinking about many things while her body was left here.
“Grace, go meet.” Li San's orders are sudden and shocking to Grace. The girl immediately looked up and approached Li San's bed.
“But uncle?” Asked Grace who also worried about Li San if she stayed, Liang Jia left her husband to Grace. In this condition it is difficult to trust even natural people, there is no guarantee they do not take advantage of the opportunity to do evil to Li San who is lying helpless.
“I have no problem, go accompany him. I'm afraid he's having a hard time dealing with the situation there.” Said Li San who was constantly riled thinking about Liang Jia.
Grace nodded steadily, then obeyed Li San's orders without delaying any more time.

“Mistress, when will the young lady return? What is the real face behind the mask? Is it only the family that knows it?”
“Mistress, where is Mr Li now? Why should you go to the press? Did Mr Li send you out so he could hide?”
“Mrs... Mistress...”
That dizzying array of questions had yet to get a response from Liang Jia, he could only keep quiet for now, letting them shout as much as possible. Liang Jia could have told the bodyguards to secure them, even banishing them, but that was not the best way out. The impact may be worse for the good name of the Li family, at this time Li San has been labeled a terrible dictator.
“Mistress, you can't keep quiet. You invited us for clarification, but none of our questions have been answered yet. Is it true that master Li San punished his own brother just for protecting your youngest daughter?” Shouted an indefatigable journalist poking Liang Jia.
“Not true! A traitor deserves to be punished! Especially the one who turns the facts around,
he deserves his punishment!”
The loud cry of a girl who suddenly emerged from the entrance, managed to become the center of attention of everyone in the room. Grace stood up violently with a waistline, her eyes staring at everything that intimidated Liang Jia through the trash question. Grace's breath was wheezing, she was galloping from
the Liang Jia Pavilion came here and it might be a little too late to save the tantamount from the press.
Liang Jia was surprised to see Grace's courage to voice all that, she had been silent about the best answer to keep Grace feeling, however Kao Jing was Grace's father, and Liang Jia could not bear to see the good girl hurt because her father's disgrace was exposed. More precisely this was the disgrace of the Li family, all of them
brothers and this is purely a family matter.
“Hey miss, you dare to say something rude like that. Do you have the capacity to talk about this issue?” Said a reporter who looked down on Grace, in their eyes, Grace who was walking into the room was one of Liang Jia's servants who was determined to talk to protect her employer.
Grace stopped stepping because the question made her heart hot, she glanced cynically at the person who had just underestimated her. A terrifying grin was reflected off Grace's face, “I really deserve to talk here, because I am the daughter of Li Kao Jing! My father was a traitor, he flipped through the facts and I could have sworn that what I said was the truth!”
Instantly, the entire room was in an uproar to hear Grace's confession, the camera and flash pointed at Grace. Liang Jia looked down in frustration, this affair will be much more complicated after Grace's confession. They're not gonna stop digging holes, and Grace might be a target for her own father on his current recklessness. All of this could only come to a halt if Weini returned soon, if they saw for themselves that this family matter had been resolved.
