The Princess And The Lord

For half an hour Jin Hua endlessly praised how well-matched Su Miou Lin and Jin Kai would be and how beautiful their children would be, how they would grow old together, and more and more it was enough to make him choke on his own vomit.

Nevertheless, Jin Hua's words greatly pleased Jin Hua he became more friendly and welcomed Jin Hua because he needed to know what Jin Kai wanted to talk to the fifth elder Jin Hua used a pathetic trick about how happy he was to make new friends after losing his family and inheritance Even though Su Miou Lin was childish and a little arrogant but basically, she was a good girl, seeing how sad Jin Hua was she felt disheartened and invited Jin Hua to stay at her place.

Jin Hua was overjoyed, this was what he had been waiting for because he needed to know what Jin Kai wanted to talk about with Fifth Elder, and also if she could, she needed to talk to Fifth Elder even though but before that she had to make sure whether the fifth elder could be trusted or not.

The Misty Lake clan was a vast territory with each family having its own complex, the higher the position of the family within the clan, the larger their complex was, and the largest number of them belonged to the Jin family which was the founder of the Misty Lake clan, their residence period was at the top of a hill separate from everyone and under the Jin family, there were seven elders who had helped the Jin clan for generations, which was why Jin Kai needed the support of all the elders if he wanted to lead the misty lake clan.

The fifth elder's residence was located at the far end of the other clan's central residence, and this was the first time Jin Hua had entered the fifth elder's residence.

Su Miou Lin lived in the main residence she had the biggest and most beautiful courtyard in the fifth elder's residence but no one protested even though the fifth elder had another child but she only had one daughter who had died along with her husband due to an accident and only leaving behind one granddaughter, therefore, the fifth elder pampered Su Miou Lin greatly.

Jin Hua was astonished by how luxurious Su Miou Lin's courtyard was, the beams were painted red and the pillars were carefully carved with little phoenixes flying among the clouds and it painted meticulously to make the carved look alive, and everywhere she turned her head she saw pink curtain with water lily embroidery hang on the window frame and the pavilion which makes the place looks very girly and youthful. 

Jin Hua sighed as she felt out of place in this place, on the other hand, Su Miou Lin looked very proud when she show off her place, Su Miou Lin want to show her room when suddenly she hears footsteps running toward her.

"Young lady, you are finally home" the old maids rushed towards them in a hurry along with the other two young maids and they all looked worried.

Su Miou Lin was annoyed she pursed her lips "I was only gone for a few hours why are you all making such a fuss" she said irritatedly.

The three maids were terrified and they immediately lowered their heads anxiously, "Forgive us, young Miss!"

The old servant immediately explained, "Fifth elder has been looking for you everywhere and he was annoyed when he found out the first master sent you a gift"

Su Miou Lin frowned confusedly "It's just a painting so why Grandfather is angry? Beside the painting is a gift from the first master he should be honored Master Jin Kai being nice to me" she huffed with her hands rest on her hips.

Su Miao Ling grew up like a flower in a greenhouse she never knew about the evils of the outside world, she was clueless about the conspiracies and intrigues around her because she was well protected she grew up naive and innocent, she did whatever she wanted and says whatever she feels honestly and frankly that's why Jin Hua said Su Miou Lin is very annoying but Jin Hua never hated her like she hated Jin Kai or others because she knew apart from being spoiled and naive that girl wasn't really bad she was just extremely childish.

"The fifth elder said you should meet him right away after you get home, please don't keep old master waiting otherwise we will all get into trouble…" The old servant patiently coaxed the spoiled young lady.

Su Miou Lin pressed her lips into a tight pout, she turned her head towards Jin Hua who had been silent all this time, "You come with me, I would like to introduce you to my Grandfather since your master and my grandfather are quite close" Su Miou Lin thought if she brought Jin Hua, he wouldn't scold her for too long, wouldn't he?

Only now did the maids notice Jin Hua's presence, they sizing her up with suspicious eyes, their young lady was tough on the mouth but weak on the brain so many people tried to take advantage of her if not for her being protected by the fifth elder and her cousin she would be eaten by all those scheming people without spitting on her bones that's why they were all very careful with anyone who wanted to befriend Su Miou Lin they believed with her bad temper no one else outside of his family would cater her behavior.

If only Jin Hua heard what these maids thought, Jin Hua would agree with them as she had ulterior motives and normally she wouldn't go near this spoiled brat.

"This woman is…" The old maid narrowed her eyes.

"Shee is the youngest third oldest disciple, don't Grandpa and the third elder have a good relationship so I would like to introduce the third elder newest disciple to him," she said nonchalantly.

Su Miou Lin didn't notice the frown on the maid's face, they don't know since when the third elder and fifth elder had a good relationship, didn't they fight with each other every time they met, the two elders were like water and oil they couldn't get along at all. Jin Hua also knows about this, at the clan banquet he witnessed two elders bickering over tea leaves for three hours and kept fighting over chopsticks then they fought seriously because the third elder said his sword was better than his. Jin Hua didn't know what happened to the rest because she was too tired of the commotion thus she decided to go home early.

They were brought to the main hall where the fifth elder was waiting to accompany by Two other men one was old and the other quite young. They all turned their heads at Su Miou Lin's arrival and smiles spread across their faces except for the fifth elder, the old man snorted and puffed out his chest revealing his anger. 

They looked at the old man and felt speechless, he already so old but he still liked to sulk like a child without a doubt Su Miou Lin bad temper was hereditary from the fifth elder.

Su Miou Lin ignored her grandfather's antics, she saluted the other two men respectfully, "Good evening, first uncle and first cousin, I'm sorry I make you wait too long"

"Why are you being so formal, we're not waiting that long" his voice thick with warmth, and indulgence.

The man was named Su Sheng, he was Su Miou Lin's uncle and the fifth eldest son of his first wife and after his first wife died, he remarried a woman who later gave birth to a son and daughter and that daughter was Su Miou Lin's mother.

They all loved Su Miou Lin's mother dearly and were devastated when she and her husband died, they also felt sorry for the young Su Miou Lin who suddenly became an orphan in one night, to make sure Su Miou Lin did not suffer from loneliness they all poured their love into Su Miou Lin coincidently neither of them having a daughter even though they all yearn for a daughter, as the result they all treat Su Miou Lin like their own daughter and spoiled her as much as the fifth elder.

"Cousin, how are you" the youth beside Su Feng smiled brightly his handsome face lit up as he looked at her, that man was Su Feng Son his name was Su Jian, and just like everyone else he spoiled Su Miou Lin and treated her like a sister.

"I am good brother Feng" Su Miou Lin smiled sweetly.

Su Miou Lin's smile reminded her of her late aunt, Su Jian didn't remember much about his aunt because her aunt died when he was very young but she always remembered her smile and Su Miaou Lin had the same smile as her mother.

"What so good about it!" the old man suddenly berated "Did you know what people talk about you, they all said you have a dubious relationship with Jin Kai!" he spat his rage until his face turn red.

"Father…" Su Feng reminds his father weakly.

"What dubious relationship, we didn't do anything bad…" Su Miou Lin was irritated by the accusation cause she didn't understand what was ao bad about it.

Her stubbornness enrage the fifth elder then he pointed his finger at Su Mio Lin and shouted, "You don't understand, do you?! People say you have an intimate relationship with Jin Kai and therefore no one wants to marry you, Lake clan people Misty will be too scared and outsiders will question your character as a young lady some even question your chastity as a young woman, and today you met Jin Kai and flirting in front of others which only confirmed their suspicions, Do you still not understand? your reputation is ruined!"
