Lory opens and closes her mouth with the indescribable expression 'How can they know….waith the real question is why they even bother' Lory wants to ask a lot of think but she doesn't know where to start. Ming Yue Yin stifles when she saw her bewildered face.

"It because uncle overly bright mood, he smiles almost to everyone, he raised everyone's salary some even get double, you know what is more shocking he suddenly asked me 'if I rest well tonight?' you know how terrified I'am? I thought it was an intro before he killed me!" Ming Yue Yin hits the table loudly. ​​

"Oh, then he also announces to Hei Shen to spread the word that you become his one and only lawful wife," said Ming Yue Yin.

"So, that's it but how everyone knows that we...you know" she throws suspicious gaze at Ming Yue Yin, that can't be all isn't it?

"That because someone heard you cry last night" Ming Yue Yin said nonchalantly.

"NO!" Lory covers her mouth in shock.

Ming Yue Yin nods her head firmly "YES!"

Lory cover her face and let out a wail, she feel so embarrassed Lory doesn't know how to face everyone in the manor again, this is even more embarrassing than when she had her first period, why all her first time never past quietly as normal people should be?

"Why are you bothered so much?" Ming Yue Yin props her chin on the table at the same time pick up more food with her chopstick "Don't you know the more you cry the better is for Uncle imaged, the truth is they expected more from you"

Lory lowered her hands from her face showing her disbelieved expression "You….you don't say they are listening aren't you"

"No, uncle is not like other people he is very private and he allowed to do so, I think the maid is accidentally heard it and you don't have to worry the one who heard it is fifty years old maid, she is one of the high-rank maids in Hei Shen sect so she wouldn't gossip about you, she shares the good news with everyone by telling them the 'rice has been cooked' " Ming Yue Yin grinned widely but then she let out a long sigh "You lucky Uncle is not leaving in a normal noble household and thankfully he let go his Prince title if not you must through all that weird custom"

Lory become more relaxed after the explanation suddenly feel hungry watching Ming Yue Yin eat her food without any consideration for her, she really is become a real 'freeloader'

Lory scoop the herb chicken soup while continue chatting "What happened in the noble household?"

"You've been serv the Lao Manor for years, don't you learn anything?" Ming Yue Yin narrowed her eyes seemingly disappointed with Lory's lack of knowledge.

"I know the fastest way to scrub the floor" she teasingly smiles.

"Unbelievable…." Ming Yue Yin roll her eyes, she finally realizes why Lory never fully grasp with the culture of this world that is because she is ignorance, she only focuses with her life and does her jobs while neglecting other things that not involved her, no wonder she still clueless even after years she lived in this world.

"When someone marries with the man from noble family as the legitimated wives or second wives, after the wedding night the old maid who used to be someone who served the family for a very long time have the duty to checked the new wed couple bed to search the bloodstain, this purposed is to make sure the bride virginity and also to reassured that the bride has fulfilled her duty to served her husband and expected to give the family an heir" Ming Yue Yin explained with annoyance on her face.

"Talk about pressure…and humiliation" Lory sighs heavily, she realizes how lucky she is to be with someone like Zhao Li Xin.

"Hump, I want to see who dare to check my bed when I got married" Ming Yue Yin snort in disdain.

"They should check if the blood from you or fro the groom…" Lory snickered.

"Hey!" Ming Yue Yin complains but not deny it.

Both of them laugh while continuing with there meal, but then suddenly Ming Yue Yin shifts her gaze to Lory "By the way….when will you tell me what's that all about?"

"About what?" Lory picks up the mantao into her plate with a casual expression.

"About….what I saw that day" she carefully asked and try to be as nonchalant as possible "is this something connected with the dark entity I saw in my dream?" Ming Yue Yin didn't know much about the dark entity because she only saw flashes of it and she admits she was too terrified so she looks away from the dream other than the yellow eyes and dark scales she doesn't know anything else but one thing for sure, that entity is too powerful for anyone to face on even for the old Lory herself.

Lory sip her sip with her spoon calmly seems not to bother by Ming Yue Yin question and silence return to there room, Ming Yue yin feel anxious than she speaks again "What can I do to help?"

Lory finishes her soup than she wiped her mouth with a clean cloth, she smiles than raised from her seat. She strokes Ming Yue yin head and messing her hair than she walks to the drawer. Ming Yue Yin didn't complain Lory has ruined her hair, her heart aching when she thinking Lory has been carried this secret on her own, how lonely she must be.

Lory takes out the candy from the drawer than she back to the table and puts the bag of cand on the table "You help me by believing in me" she shove the candy to Ming Yue Yin mouth.

"Is uncle know about this?" Ming Yue Yin sucked the candy with a sullen face.

"No, not yet….maybe later" Lory shove the candy to her own mouth and the sweetness spread on her mouth.

"Why later?"

Lory sighs while crossing her arms on the table "Because, this is not something he could help with, no one can…this is my own…."

Ming Yue Yin tongue-tied she wants to say something but she doesn't know how Lory stifles than she pinches Ming Yue Yin cheeks "Don't look at me like that!" Lory grinned widely "I have a plan, this will not be the end of me beside this is not the first time I end up in this kinda situation, I fight better when I pushed to the corner" Lory chuckles lightly.

"But you didn't let uncle know…" Ming Yue Yin not feel assured enough.

Lory roll her eyes "You know how he would react, I don't want him to went overboard and I don't want him to feel sad and worry all the time"

"Should he be sad and worry all the time?" Ming Yue Yin narrowed her eyes.

Lory flick Ming Yue Yin forehead "Knock it off! I'm here, am I ? and I don't plan to lose in this fight"

Ming Yue Yin rubbed her forehead "I have feeling it got something to do like the sacred tree right and also the providence sword, what are they anyway?"

"Smart Girl" Lory shove more candy to Ming Yue Yin mouth nearly choked her but Lory didn't care, "The sacred tree, the white sword, and the providence sword all them came from the same source….its a Trinity staff"

"What is that?"

"Long time ago one of the God falling in love with a mortal human, the God wants to protect her but sadly the rule prohibited him to interfere with the mortal world and so he decide to created a powerful weapon to protect his beloved, the myths said that the God used his own bones to forged the weapon he molded the weapon using the eternal flame and finally he soaked the weapon with his own blood that's why it called trinity, the weapon than bestowed to his mortal lover, The Queen of Maldinne and when the Queen eventually dies the weapon disappeared for thousands of years….until I found it"

"You found it? HOW?" Ming Yue Yin shriek excitedly.

"Well, I kinda stumble on it…."
