"She's the young miss of the Bai family, that person is indeed notoriously arrogant, she always felt she was the prettiest girl in the capital. I haven't liked him in a long time".

Ocha said to Joan. He continued his words;

"The full name of Bai Ji Gur, his father Bai Jing An, the head of the court in the capital, he was a vassal of the first prince. Bai Jing An loved to oppress people, no wonder her son was like that".

"Yes, we are trying to find evidence of his guilt but he is quite slippery to this day, we don't have any solid evidence to bring him down".

Go Little Fox.

"Young Lady Bai likes third brother but third sister never minded him, if she knew her love rival sister-in-law she would definitely be more eager to kill you, ha ha ha ha";

Little Fox seduces Joan.

Joan flinch at Little Fox's jokes, why should she be jealous, she knows Andi's cold nature towards women except her.

"If he likes the third prince, why does he seem to not recognize you";

Joan asked curiously.

"That's because we from childhood never lived in the palace, we lived with our maternal grandparents"

Go Little Fox.

Joan became even more curious to hear little Fox's explanation.

"Why don't you live in the imperial palace ".

"That's mom's agreement with dad. The Emperor's father married the mother due to a political marriage, the mother made a prenuptial agreement with the Emperor's father that he would hand over his eldest son to the Emperor but the subsequent children belonged to the mother's family".

"That's why we live outside the palace and mothers sometimes come to live with us, although the mother did not love the Emperor's father but the Emperor's father was kind to him and promised that their son would succeed him to become the next Emperor".

Joan began to understand a little andi's difficulties. Andi himself was reluctant to replace the position of Emperor but he also thought about his obligations as a child and the expectations of his maternal grandfather who wanted him to be crown prince.

"If you visit our house, he is always envious of the freedom we have, while he is always governed by the court protocol. Since childhood, I have no personal freedom. Having to learn about statecraft, learn foreign languages, study and practice martial arts, there is hardly any time to play".

"Hem, sometimes you feel sorry when you see him, he always looks moody but actually we also sometimes envy him but once you hear him tell me everything he suffered. It made us so grateful that mother did not invite us to live in the palace".

Connect Ocha...

"Although the Emperor's father still gave us the title of Princess and prince to the fifth brother but we never used it, only the palace family and a few people in the capital knew we were the children of the Emperor but we did prefer to hide that because we could freely go anywhere without any protocol it made us prisoners like third brother".

"Dug, dug, dug"

The sound of footsteps from many people was heard from outside the restaurant. The loud voice of a girl split the air beyond her walking speed.

"First lady, it's those villagers who have insulted the young miss ".

Apparently it was the voice of a girl friend slapping herself in front of Joan, she came back together with a young lady who looked elegant and also beautiful, her cheeks are round and there are beautiful dimples to the two corners of her mouth.

The two young girls were accompanied by several well-bodied guards carrying spears as their weapons. They came to our three friends.

The first girl's friend immediately extended her hand, pointing to the face of Joan who was sitting in front of him while sipping her tea and throwing small pieces of bread into the pond to feed the golden fish and Koi.

"This is the first lady, she who has slapped the young lady so that she becomes feverish at the moment".

The girl's friend, who was apparently a young lady's lady-in-waiting, was irritated to see Joan was indifferent and did not pay attention to her words at all.

Joan thinks this first lady must be as arrogant as the young lady.

Joan remained silent as she watched the fish scramble to eat the piece of bread she threw into the lake.

"Sorry young lady, had my sister offended you, I came to apologize to you if that was the case ".

The first lady greeted Joan while bowing her body slightly and clenched her hands together to show her respect for Joan

Joan was surprised to see the courtesy of the first lady who was very contrary to the young lady.

"Are they really brothers"; thought Joan.

Joan also felt that the voice of the woman caused a sense of familiarity in her heart. He raised his head and looked at the young woman's face.

Joan was shocked and delighted, she immediately got up, stepped her legs and hugged the first lady before her happily.

"Melly's.....".

"Johan"....

"You're here"

"You're here ".

The two exclaimed almost simultaneously with the same sentence.

Everyone was surprised to see the development of the atmosphere. The dayang immediately felt frightened when he found out that the person he had accused of mistreating his young miss was his first lady acquaintance.

He immediately stood a bit away from the place to hide himself, if there was a hole there, he would definitely jump into it.

Joan and Melly hugged each other for a long time without a word. The two are immersed in the longing for their time together.

A moment later they let go of their arms. Joan invites Melly to sit down, she introduces Little Fox and Ocha as her best friends in the capital.

The three of them sat together, Little Fox and Ocha only listened to the two childhood friends reminisce about their time together in Genteng village.

Melly had already heard of the rapid development of Genteng village, so she asked Joan a lot of things, asking for news about the new things that were in their village that she did not know yet.

Melly apologizes to Joan for her father and brother whom she knew had been trying to harm Joan. It made Joan even more admiring Melly who could separate her friendship from her family affairs.

Melly lives with her grandparents, her grandmother from the Wang family and Bai Jing An is the daughter-in-law of Melly's grandfather, her wife is the younger sister of Mr. Wang. They all live in the Wang family's housing complex.

Melly knew her cousin's sister had a bad temper and was arrogant, always oppressing others who were weaker than her. Melly was grateful that Joan had taught her sister a lesson.

When her cousin's sister reported the news to her mother and ordered some bodyguards to return to the restaurant to teach Joan a lesson. It just so happened that she was there, so Melly volunteered to see who had helped her to educate her sister.

Fortunately it made him reunited with Joan, otherwise he might be difficult to meet Joan forever.

Then Melly invites Joan to return to her place of residence. Joan and Melly walked in front hand in hand and Little Fox, Ocha and the guards of the Wang family residence followed them from behind.
