"Hmmp! What a waste!!! She had a beautiful face but her heart is so ugly."
"Such a pompous lass. What a noble lady??? Whose prim and proper???? Did you see her last night"
"Exactly! She was definitely pretentious."
"SSHHHH.. Be quiet. Look, she's waking up!"
Mu Yanxiao was awoken by hushed discussion from small voices around her. Yet when she open her eyes, she was all alone inside her room.
The glaring sunlight spilling from the small opening of her window brought throbbing pain to her head.
"Ahhrrrgg! I feel like someone is splitting my head into two..." she said to herself holding her head.
Mu Yanxiao obviously was having a terrible hangover from last night. The bright room make her headache even harder to deal with.
"Shocks, it hurts!!!!"
she exclaimed and she badly wanted to cry due to the discomfort that she was feeling. Well of course this will be her first time to experience this letdown.
When she slightly recover from the initial round of pain, she called out for the servants stationed just outside her room.
Soon, a servant bring her a piping hot BAMBINO SOUP to ease her hangover.
When Mu Yanxiao saw the baby face fish inside her hangover soup she throw it on the floor. The porcelain bowl shattered into pieces due to impact as it landed in the floor. One of the broken piece reached where the palace maid was standing and it graze her legs.
Mu Yanxiao definitely saw how her impulsive reaction harmed the nearby servant but she just turned a blind eye about it. She don't have the heart to care at all since she was so infuriated and her terrible headache make it even worst.
"Didn't I tell you to leave that creepy fish out of my bowl?!!! Are you deaf or you're just simply stupid?!!" She shouted harshly.
"Young miss,... I'm so sorry. Let me go and get you a new one."
The palace maid replied hastily as she tried to hold back her tears. Afraid that the young miss will get more irritated. She hurriedly left Mu Yanxiao then another palace maid enter to clear the mess.
"How I wish I could wipe that floor using her thick face!!!" another small voice said.
"What did you say? "
Mu Yanxiao definitely heard someone talking at her side, but when she turned her head to see who was talking she didn't saw anyone. Only the bonsai flower hanging quietly on her window can be seen.
"Yow?! Don't tell me you can hear me talking young lass?" the small voice answered.
"Who are you??! Show yourself!"
Mu Yanxiao was alarmed this time. She definitely heard someone speaking to her as if it was just standing close to her but no one was around aside the servant cleaning the mess on the floor.
The servant upon seeing the hysterical state of her young miss quietly walked away from her room. Afraid that Mu Yanxiao will took notice of her and started doing unpleasant things.
"Fall in line,... la la la... small small steps,,, one by one. la la la"
Mu Yanxiao heard another small voice, and this time it sounds like it was singing merrily! When she confirmed where it was coming, she grabbed her hair in disbelief.
"What was happening to me?! This can't be real! I'm not going crazy am I????? " She asked herself in utter shocked.
She watched as the tiny ants walking in neat line among the small landscape in her window sing harmoniously. She was starting hearing things! The incredulity of this matter turn her judgment upside down.
"Nooooooooooooo...." she exclaimed covering her ears.
At this moment, Mu Yanxiao exactly looks like someone who loss her wits.
"What was happening to Lady Yanxiao?" one of the palace maid who heard her screaming ask her fellow maid.
"I don't know either. But it seems that she was starting to act peculiar? I never heard her raising her voice like that. Aren't she afraid that someone will think that she was a vulgar?"
"You've got a point. Just a while ago, I saw her speaking to herself. I'm afraid that Lady Yanxiao was starting to turn crazy!"
The palace maid who just left her young miss room immediately hyped up the discussion.
Soon, hushed discussion about how Lady Yanxiao acted strange this morning circulated inside the Mu Clan's residence.
Among the cover of the night. She shed her tears..
When no one was watching she cried her eyes out.
No one knew how sad she was that even crying was not enough to ease the pain..
Gone were the days where she can smile with true happiness reflecting on her eyes.
As she has been living a life just to say she exist. Her smiles were forced..tryung to hide the bitterness behind those eyes
