Knowing Chen Chao Xiang.

  After three days of journey,the Jiang family finally arrives in Bianjing.The people quickly came out to watch their arrival as they have heard the news that madam Jiang and Lord Jiang's daughter who left Bianjing a long time ago due to an illness was coming back.

The people wanted to see what she looked like now.Maybe she was ugly or maybe she was even at the brink of death.

"Isn't that Lord Jiang's daughter in the carriage? I think she is not in a good condition." A man said.

"Yes,that illness must have made her look miserable.I wonder why she is even back." Another man contributed.

"Poor girl,she must be left with tattered skin.I don't think her suitor would want to marry her again.She was betrothed to him at a young age and Lord Jiang promised that if she got cured of her illness,she would come back to marry him." The woman whispered.

The Jiang family arrived at the doorstep of their house.Princess Xiao Ai alighted from the carriage.

"Welcome back Lord." The servant of the house opened the big wooden gate of the house and bowed.

"Did anyone ask of me when I was gone?" Lord Jiang asked.

"Yes sir, a messenger came from the palace to inform you about the First Prince's coronation ceremony." The servant replied.

They all entered the house while the servant of the house took the goods and other items to the storage.

Princess Xiao Ai stood and took a good stare at the large courtyard of the house.The house is very spacious and has many rooms.

"Lord Jiang must be a minister of high position in the palace" Princess Xiao Ai thought to herself.

"Welcome madam" A young female servant slightly kneeled and bowed to madam Jiang.Her gaze landed on Princess Xiao Ai and immediately frowned.

"This lady doesn't look like my young mistress Meihui." She thought.

"Zhan,come with me.I have something to discuss with you." Madam Jiang said and went to her room.

"Yes,madam." Zhan  replied and slowly retracted her curious gaze from Princess Xiao Ai.

"Young mistress,please follow me.I will lead you to your room." The servant of the house said and gestured to Princess Xiao Ai to follow him.

In the Chen family, Madam Chen's maid rushed to her room to give her the breaking news of the Jiang family's arrival.

It was actually the Chen family's son, Chen Chao Xiang that Jiang Meihui was betrothed to.Meihui and Chao Xiang are actually childhood friends. 

"Madam,do you know…... that Jiang Meihui....is back in Bianjing?" Madam Chen's maid said.Panting and catching her breath in between her words.

"Just calm down and tell me….." Madam Chen looked around.

"Is she dead?" Madam Chen whispered.

"I don't know madam,she came in a carriage so no one was able to see what she looked like." Madam Chen's maid replied.

"I will have to go and check then,if she is still worthy to marry my son." Madam Chen said and abruptly stood up.

"Prepare my carriage.I am going to the Jiang family." 

"You are not going anywhere mother." Chao Xiang who has been eavesdropping on their conversation said as he walked in.

"What is wrong with you mother?They just came back from such a long journey.Why do you want to disturb them for a trivial matter?" Chao Xiang asked.

"How can you say that is a trivial matter?It is about your life dear.Besides it's not like I want to go and murder them.I just want to know if Meihui is fit to be your wife or not.I do not want you to marry someone who could die at anytime."

"Mother! Don't speak like that about Meihui." Chao Xiang said,angrily.

"Oh my,oh my,oh my.You have not married her but you have started shouting at me because of her.What if you marry her? Will you chop off my head then?" Madam Chen shouted in anger.

"That is enough now.You do not have to make a mountain out of a small hill.I will check on Meihui myself.Settled!" Chao Xiang said and left.

Madam Chen holds her chest and slowly sits.

Princess Xiao Ai is sitting in her room and staring into space when Zhan enters.

"Greetings to miss." Zhan said and bowed three times.

Princess Xiao Ai looked at her curiously.

"Madam Jiang has explained to me that I should regard you as my young mistress Meihui from now on.I have to inform you about the things that young mistress Meihui likes and does." Zhan said.

"Alright,sit down." Princess Xiao Ai said.

"Thank you young mistress Meihui"

"Actually,the young mistress is a very lively person but timid as well.She doesn't interfere in complicated matters and loves to do embroidery.She sings and plays guqin as well." Zhan said.

"That is actually the opposite of me.But don't worry,I will try to be like her from now on." Princess Xiao Ai replied and smiled.

"Alright.And…..Miss Meihui has an awaiting suitor.Young master Chao Xiang.Miss Meihui and young master Chao Xiang are childhood friends.Miss Meihui has been betrothed to him before she left Bianjing." Zhan said and Princess Xiao Ai's smile immediately vanished.
