Bride of the Dragon Emperor

Seeing the woman coming, the frightened Ahjing immediately came rushing inside the bedchamber to report the unexpected arrival to her miss. "Eldest miss! Eldest miss! There's a big problem!"

"Whurt-furrblem?" said Xingxing with a mouth full of food.

"Eldest miss, La-Lady Liang is coming!" as she said those words, Liang Murong appeared at the door step. Frightened, Ahjing quickly moved to the side behind Xingxing.

Liang Murong stood straight at the entrance with her servants. A smile plastered on her face as she sees the distressed looks on the servants' faces. Because of this, her arrogance rose from a certain level.

She turned her gaze to the girl who's sitting on the rosewood chair at the middle of the room.

The girl was beautiful. She got pinkish-white skin that looks soft and bouncy. Her long, silky hair fell loosely across her shoulders. Her white dress paired with her calmness gives of an immortal feeling.

Seeing Xingxing's calm face; completely ignoring her arrival, Liang Murong felt annoyed. With a gentle smile on her face, she adoringly called the girl "Xing-er".

But to her annoyance, the girl still ignored her greetings and continue to munch on her biscuits. The corners of Liang Murong's mouth twitched, her left brow raised. Anger slowly growing in her heart. The gentle smile earlier, now looks fake.

She's here to extort punishment but the girl just ignored her presence and act like she's not here in the first place.

Liang Murong was an arrogant and a pridefull woman. Like her foster daughter, Liang Muyue, she was arrogant and often see others, as inferior to her. Both born from a noble and rich household. People like them looked down on people on lower status and always see themselves as rightfull masters above them.

For Liang Murong to be treated like this was a slap on her face. In the Xiao household, after the death of the late Madam; as the second wife, she authomatically became the one incharge of managing the entire household.

Concubines like her were considered servants, got no power and status was inferior than the legal Wife. But for some reason, Liang Murong was different. Behind her was the rich Liang Family.

Back then, the Liang Family was just like the other normal noble families in Tianshang. But their family's wealth rises after Liang Wenming(Liang Murong's second brother) showed his exemplary skills on the government examinations, and was then granted the highest position in the Salt Granary Department in Yan Province.

She was vicious and powerfull enough to act as the legal wife, she even lord over the other concubines and servants in the whole Xiao household.

Her face revealed a mocking smile as she thought to herself, 'This girl, just who does she think she is?

'Even though the General doted on her and treated her like a prescious gem, she's still a powerless and naive little miss with no mother.'

'Besides being an eldest miss, what right does she have to act high and mighty infront of me!, the soon to be Madam?. '

Liang Murong composed herself and started her act. She still have that gentle smile pasted on her face as she speak "Xing-er, aren't you gonna invite mother to sit. You know that mother's legs are weak due to the cold weather." with so much affection and love in her tone.

Hearing the woman speak in such a loving way, Xiao Xingxing almost spit out the food in her mouth.

'Cold weather?, isn't it summer already' she rolled her eyes. She cant help but applaud this woman's amazing acting skills.

Such a gentle and pitiful act, if only Xingxing didn't noticed that ugly expression of hers earlier, she would probably be fooled by her loving act. She might actually believed that this woman is sincere and kind.

'Fake! So Fake! '

Back in the future world. Before the accident, Xingxing was actually a junior prosecutor. After getting a job, she studied this so called Microexpressions to do good in her job.

People who can identify what others are actually thinking and feeling, just by reading their faces and emotions have a huge advantage in litigation and negotiations in court.

This woman is a cunning two-faced fox who loves to act gentle and kind when there are other people present.

They love fame and status. They love being admired by others. They also loved attention. They thought too highly of theirselves, so most likely, people like them were the one's who easily revealed their weaknesses.
