The Princess And The Lord

"GET OUT!" the cup was thrown at them but luckily the maids were swift enough to dodge the teacup that flew over their head and ended up hitting the wall behind them but still the shards from the cup scratched their faces but they didn't dare to complain.

"Miss, please don't be angry" one of the maids desperately tried to calm Su Miou Lin but it only make Su Miou Lin angrier.

"Call my grandfather right now, tell him I won't eat until he comes and give me what I want!" Su Miou Lin shouted and huffing with a red face full of anger.

"But, Old Master is away but - but we will call young master Su, I'm sure he will come right away, please qualm your anger young lady, this is not good for your body!" the maid knelt on the floor and pleaded anxiously.

Su Miou Lin didn't care then suddenly threw herself on the bed and cried loudly, Jin Hua heard Su Miou Lin cry so hard that she couldn't help but roll her eyes in utter annoyance. Su Miou Lin is already fourteen even though she is still not at marriageable age but she is old enough to have a fiancé so it is difficult for Jin Hua to accept the girl's childish behavior.

If not for the protection of the Su family, Su Mio Lin would have been eaten alive within the Misty Lake clan, hence Su Miou Lin would not have had the freedom to grow up like this had it not been for the Su family's protection, ironically, it was the Su family that eventually completely destroyed Su Miou Lin characters.

Jin Hua entered the room without knocking because the door was wide open. Inside the room, Su Miou Lin was bawling on her bed and sobbed incessantly while everything around her was shattered into pieces even her painting had been torn and trampled on the floor.

'What a waste' Jin Hua laments to herself. 

Su Miou Lin hear soft footsteps from the door then she immediately lifted her head from the bed with an expectant look but then dumbfounded when she saw Jin Hua who turn out appear in her room, feeling a little embarrassed by her messy appearance, Su Miou Lin quickly wiped the tears marks and snort from her face with her sleeve.

Su Miou Lin then glare at Jin Hua's sudden arrival "You... what are you doing here?" Su Miou Lin pursed her lips into a tight pout.

Jin Hua was not affected by Su Miao Lin's hostility instead she bowed her head politely, Jin Hua's expression remained straight and calm as if she didn't realize the ruined room nor Su Miou lin's disheveled appearance that made Su Miou Lin feel slightly better.

I came to give you a gift, this is the jewelry that I bought in Sun Jan city famous shop although it's not very expensive, but the jewelry is quite unique so I think Miss Su will appreciate it" Jin Hua humbly said then showed the wooden jewelry box on her hands.

"But it seems I came at an inopportune time, forgive my impudence for coming suddenly, then I excuse myself" Jin Hua express her regret and bowed her head deeply.

Su Miou Lin is a childish kid who easily forgets her anger once she was distracted by something she liked, in her case it was jewelry.

"Wait!" she stopped Jin Hua then he got up from the bed "You are here, wait for me!" Su Miou's voice hinted with authority, without waiting for Jin Hua's answer she took long strides towards the screen divider with her maid then another clever maid immediately understood that their mistress's mood has recover they immediately cleaned up the messy room while Jin Hua stepped out to let the maid fix the room.

When Su Miou Lin finished tidying herself up, Jin Hua was already sitting at the round table drinking hot tea calmly, Jin Hua turned to Su Miou Lin's arrival and smiled politely. Finally, Su Miou Lin returned to the sweet and innocent appearance she used to be, well perhaps 'sweet' sound too far-fetched maybe gullible is the right words. 

"Miss Su, take a look at the jewelry I got for you, see if you are interested in any of it but please don't ask the price it might be too cheap for a noble lady like you" Jin Hua subtly praised her which made Su Miou Lin's haughty smile widen.

The jewelry was actually something that Lan Hua and the others had bought to comfort her during her recovery at Bei Li Yan's place. Jin Hua was actually reluctant to give this jewelry to Su Miou Lin unfortunately a sacrifice had to be made after all she only gave some of the jewelry she had and most of it was jewelry she did not like.

Su Miou Lin seemed to have forgotten her previous anger as she was busy examining the eye-catching jewelry and then trying it on in front of the mirror, this went on for a few hours and Jin Hua was bored but she still kept a friendly smile on her face and occasionally gave Su Miou Lin compliments. 

Su Miou Lin seemed to be in a much better mood. Jin Hua started to ask, "Miss Su, do you have any problem? I saw that you were a little annoyed earlier, so I thought there was something bothering you if you don't mind, you can share it with me, I promise I won't say anything to other people" Jin Hua winked with a mischievous smile.

Su Miou Lin pursed her lips, after trying some of the jewelry Jin Hua gave her, she naturally had a good impression of Jin Hua and thought Jin Hua could be trusted.

Su Miou Lin was truly very naive.

"Uhm, actually my grandfather was angry that lord Jin Kai pay attention to me and people started spreading stupid gossip about me, actually I don't really care about it, what can a rumor do to me? however, my whole family thinks otherwise for some reason they all feel agitated by the rumors" Su Miou Lin shrugged and complained without realizing how big the problem was but can anyone blame her? it was the adults in the Su family who didn't want to explain the problem to Su Miou Lin maybe it was because they didn't want to scare Su Miou Lin.

"I don't think this is a bad thing, because of these rumors Master Jin Kai will definitely marry me to take responsibility, actually, I thought Master Jin Kai came that night to convey his wish to propose to me but who would have thought that my grandfather would refuse Master Jin Kai's request and when I confronted my grandfather they instead extended my confinement in my courtyard, I was even told to copy about the 'eight virtuous of women conduct' you know how thick that book is? It will take me a long time to copy that book, grandpa is really outrageous!" Su Miou Lin huffed and scowl without knowing how much her family sacrificed themselves for her which is very ironic for Jin Hua.

"Do you know why your grandfather rejected First Master's proposal?" Jin Hua took a glimpse of Su Miou Lin's expression.

"Well...I think that because master Jin already has a concubine and a child, I guess because of our age difference, or maybe because...because" Su Miou Lin's voice grew weaker and then she bit her lip and frowned "Actually grandpa didn't explain the reason why...they just say I won't understand it and they suddenly punish me" she folded her arms in front of her chest and sulks.

Jin Hua took a deep breath, even though Su Miou Lin was stupid, but it wasn't entirely her fault she was overprotected that made her childish, naive, and spoiled when she acted like that what can you do with her? on the contrary towards the Su family Jin Hua actually has more expectations of them in dealing with this problem.

Was a proper explanation so difficult for them why would they hide the problem and keep this stupid girl in the dark? not only would they harm the entire Su family but also Su Miou Lin herself.

"This is just my opinion, but if you really want to know why you don't ask your grandfather, but this time try to ask politely and less demanding, please keep in your mind that even though the Fifth Elder loves you very much, but is not gives you the right to disrespect him and I'm sure this is not how you usually behave when you want to get anything from your grandfather right? Jin Hua gave a meaningful look which she hope Su Miou Lin will understand.

Su Miou Lin's face suddenly lit up, "You're right! Normally, I would act cute, I even prepare grandfather's favorite tea whenever I wanted to ask something from him!" Su Miou Lin clapped his hands and snorted in annoyance, "How could I be so stupid, I shouldn't be angry with grandfather at that time!" Su Miou Lin just realized her mistake, even though it was only part of her fault nevertheless it still progressed, at least she started to use her brain.

"En, Miss Su is so smart~" Jin Hua praised Su Miou Lin with the tone Like masters praising their pet.

But Su Miou Lin didn't notice, she then grabbed Jin Hua's hand and cheered happily, "Miss Xiao thank you for reminding me, in return for your favor, I will help you as best I can if anyone try to bully you just tell me and I will give them a lesson!" Su Miou Lin pumps a fist in front of her face with great confidence.

Jin Hua laughed dryly wondering how this gullible girl could help him when it will be her who will actually help that stupid girl.

Jin Hua inwardly stroked her chest and kept reminding herself to be patient.. Finally, she understood why her older brother Jin Hao always said that the thing he hates the most in this world is not a sly woman but instead a stupid woman.
