The second reason

After hearing so many praises coming from Ming Ruolan's mouth, Amelia understood one thing. Her mother had a great personality. If an emperor desired her, that meant that she was a great beauty. Then how come as her daughter, she looked so dull?

Why wasn't she beautiful?

Was her father, that great general Jiang not good-looking?

Amelia frowned and touched her face. Looks like she had to study her face carefully. Not that she minded how she looked right now, but something about her face bothered her. She couldn't exactly pinpoint what it was, but something was definitely wrong with this face.

But what?

Also, why did the real owner's mother chose to be a concubine? If she was so great and beautiful, sought by so many people, then she could have easily chosen to be ahead wife of some good family?

Why chose to be a mere concubine?

If she had no problem in becoming a concubine, then why did she not chose to be a noble concubine? She could have easily accepted the emperor and enjoyed all the grandeur, wealth, and status that would bring her if she married him?

What it because of love?

Did her mother really love her father that much that she was willing to share her father with someone?

Or was there something else behind this story?

Amelia was curious to find out. Finally, after spending so many boring years as a vampire in the modern world, she had something to do. Something that riled her up, something that made her curious. It made her want to figure out all the mysteries hidden in this fake world.

"Remember Yuyu, accept for General Jiang your father, you can't trust anyone in that Mansion. Nobody loves you there. They just pretend to be nice to you because you are General Jiang's favorite daughter but they reset you in their heart, especially that Jiang Muxun," Ming Ruolan mentioned.

"What's the second reason?" Amelia questioned.

"I told you before but you wouldn't believe me," Ming Ruolan accused. "You even wanted to break off our friendship because of this one small thing," she complained, looking at Amelia with a pair of accusatory eyes.

Amelia pursed her lips slowly. Her heart instantly melted when she noticed the way Ming Ruolan was looking at her. She felt as though she had done a bad deed. She quickly looked away, pinched the corners of sleeves, and released a depressing sigh.

This was one of her problems, a kind of weakness to be exact.

She could face a man bravely, without any emotion or problem but when facing a cute, innocent woman like her, often her hands would itch to pinch their cheeks. She loved teasing them so while she was in the modern world, she would dress up as a man and bring Jin Yang along with her to a club or some similar place like that and they would tease women there.

Now, facing this Ming Ruolan, Amelia had the same itch to pinch her face and tease her.

"Jiang Yuyu, are you listening to me?" Ming Ruolan asked.

Amelia nodded absentmindedly. "I am."

"Hmm..." Ming Ruolan looked at her and continued. "I am telling you that Jiang Muxun loves that cheating scum Shen Xiaozhang. That's why she hates you even more because you have a marriage alliance with that fool."

"Only if I could get a piece of evidence and show it to you. I am sure that something is going on between them. My womanly instinct is telling me that they have an affair. That cheating scum Shen Xiaozhang had a relationship with your sister, but you wouldn't listen to me."

"You are blinded by love, Yuyu." Ming Ruolan commented with a depressing sigh. "I don't understand, what do you even see in that man? Infact, I really don't understand. What does every girl in the capital see in that man? He is not even that great! Yes, he is a little good-looking and he's the fourth-best martial artist we have in the capital, but that's all. Other than that, he is nothing but scum who looks gentle on the surface but quite scheming and cunning in his heart."

"If you these women want to admire someone, then they better admire the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, or someone who is as good as my brother." Ming Ruolan remarked.

Amelia: ".............." Love that handsome man? Why not? At least, he has good looks!!!

Shen Li: "............" Love the Crown Prince? Who has such a deadly wish?

After saying so much, Ming Ruolan felt parched. She noticed a fruit wine kept on the table. Picking it up, she drank a few gulps and immediately felt better. However, soon she realized that she was being glared at by a familiar pair of eyes. Ming Ruolan looked up and noticed that a weird expression forming on Jiang Yuyu's face.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" she inquired.

Amelia narrowed her eyes, looked at her for a second before she glanced at the half-finished fruit wine. "You said you weren't hungry!" she mentioned.

Huh?

Ming Ruolan looked confused. Yeah! She did say that. She wasn't hungry. But, then why was Yuyu looking at her with those accusing eyes as if she had committed a heavy crime? She was confused. She followed Amelia's gaze and noticed that she was looking at the half-empty cup.

Ming Ruolan: "............"

"Jiang Yuyu, since when did you become so stingy?" Ming Ruolan arched her brows.

Amelia sighed. "You don't know how much hard work I had done to get that money."

Shen Li: "............" (cough*cough* hard work of robbing people)

Hearing Amelia's words, Ming Ruolan furrowed her brows. "Hard work? What kind of hard work? Why would you do any hard work? Is the General Mansion not giving you enough money?" she asked. Immediately, a bad thought came into her mind and she looked at Amelia in horror. Grabbing Amelia's arm, she began to examine them properly.

"What are you doing?" Amelia looked confused, not understand why this woman was looking at her hands.
