Determination (2)

Zhi Yue sniffed slightly. "Dear eldest sister what harm have I caused you to reveal such a thing when my heart belongs to this gentleman knowing I was promised to Wu Lin after Master Zhi thought our marriage was impossible."

Zhi Xin pulled a jar from her sleeve pouring the contents into her glass and slowly began drinking. She parted her red stained lips removing the glass from her lips. "The sweetest wine is made from the most sour grape. Dear younger sister how do you describe your love for you can't make a sweet thing from something obviously falsely sweetened for if you was to be turned into wine its contents will spoil leaving you nothing but a taint waste of material." She took another long sip. "The point of that is you can't force something that isn't meant to be obviously he has chosen his partner why not let him be happy or are you that despicable and evil you want to break up such a lovely thing with a poorly put together plan and terrible acting."

Zhi Yue bit her bottom lip and trembled slightly with a worried expression. She glanced at Shi Rong then pointed her finger. "Madam your not even from Shui City why have you stolen my fiance who was traveling looking for the perfect gift for me. You and your child from a previous marriage have you no pride as a woman but to steal the beloved of a betrothed woman. I invited him to this party as my honored guest yet now to my knowledge he is married with an adopted son, how am I supposed to react besides scheme against my enemy!"

Ling Yiyao glanced at Zhi Yue and spoke coldly. "I don't recall meeting such an ugly woman for the only woman in my heart is Lady Rong. We came here in order to attend the auction yet you have such intentions towards me. Tell me does everyman that meets your fancy end up becoming snatched away with the help of your public image to appear as if it is a sense of justice for I don't recall ever being engaged to such a troll and shameless beast. I wish for you to no longer sully my image with such claims."

Xiandi scuffed and sneered. "Sir you're not even fit to wear lewd robes and serve this mad man while feeding him and gifting him wine, what gives you the right to fancy being his wife!"

Hui Mian cuffed her chin and smirked playfully. "I doubt this gentleman would even look good in lewd clothes let alone that cheaply made dress. Darling if you wanted to dress in drag to become more appealing stick to your manly nature inside of trying to transition into a woman!"

The crowd erupted in a roar of laughter leaving Zhi Yue painted red in anger.

"Lady Zhi does seem to have such broad shoulders in that dress."

"My now that it is pointed out she does represent a member of the opposite sex slightly if she was a peerless man."

Zhi Xin laughed softly taunting Zhi Yue's ears. "Dear sister I have told you makeup can do such wonders yet you feel the need to walk around in such a state."

Master Zhi became embarrassed and loudly cleared his throat silencing the crowd as he glared at Shi Rong and her group for humiliating the Zhi family daughter in front of such important guests. His voice echoed across the hall. "The auction shall come to an early end please if you wish to bid on such items visit the Auction Hall next week at noon, please enjoy the rest of your night!"
