As the shrill words arose, even the servants present covered up their noses and mouths as if something bad was really smelling. Just as always, Zhong Kexin was greeted with disdain and mocking words. The mansion's servants also treated her like that, as if they were above her in any rank. But Chow Yi Nuo was ready to make them change forcefully as Zhong Kexin was above them in rank. But, this time Chow Yi Nuo was going to disappoint those people who wanted to have a laugh at her expense and make them the laughing stocks instead.
Instead of getting furious or cursing at those people just like before, this time round, Chow Yi Nuo treated them as invisible air molecules, as if they had never existed to begin with. She kept her back straight and walked foward elegantly. She did not even spare a look at Zhong Caihong as she passed by. It was as if Zhong Caihong was an eyesore in Chow Yi Nuo's path.
On seeing that, Zhong Caihong's face turned red with anger. She had intended to scorn Zhong Kexin , but at that moment and in place, she could do nothing but hold her temper. Zhong Kexin ceased her steps as she entered the family hall. Three exquisitely dressed men were seated at the front of the hall.
On the top seat, was a young man dressed in a golden yellow silk robe. It was decorated with dragons among clouds and waves, worn belted, with purses hanging from the belt. A eight tasselled crown nestled on his head. He looked so cold as if he had no interest in anyone in the room, not even in Chow Yi Nuo, towards whom he showed no emotion. There was no disdain or loath in his eyes because of his appearance. That made Chow Yi Nuo feel a little bit better, at least, he seemed to treat her and everyone else equally, even if it was with indifference.
But as far as she could figure out according to the Zhong Kexin's memory, she had no idea who this man was. Judging from the way he was dressed and the aura he gave out, he seemed to be a man with a noble status. Otherwise Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao would not have allowed him to occupy the highest seat.
Before Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao could speak, Zhong Mingze - Zhong Kexin's father, stood up impatiently and bellowed at Zhong Kexin with his out stretched fingers. "Greet Prince Ju Zihan and Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao now! Are you trying to bring more shame to the Zhong Mansion?!" His voice was filled with anger and frustration.
Chow Yi Nuo ignored her noisy father. She greeted Prince Ju Zihan and Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao in a proper and polite way by slightly bowing before them. Her manner was elegant, resolute and sharp. " I am Zhong Kexin, a commoner in the Zhong Mansion who is treated more worse than dogs that live on the streets. Please accept my greetings, Prince Ju Zihan, Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao and father." After finishing the salutation, she stood there motionlessly. At hearing her salutation, Zhong Mingze clenched his fist in anger but he could not dare discipline Zhong Kexin in front of Prince Ju Zihan and Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao. Prince Ju Zihan just smirked at the sight of such a young lady, she seemed to be very polite during the salutation but her message was never meant to spread peace but brought up violence.
