Her goal is to become rich!

The Zhu Fang lounge was a large shop where clothes of all kinds were sold along with jewelry and other accessories.

Liu Qing stared and gaped at all the beautiful material hanging up in the shop, Liu Lian wasn't paying attention, if he touched anything she could afford to compensate. She headed to the small section filled with children's clothes.

She inspected them for a long time before finally shaking her head, not good enough for her little Qing. What a let down, she came all the way here only to go home empty handed.

"Young miss!"

Her attention was drawn to the maid running at her with a red face and a worried expression, what happened this time?

She quickly bowed before proceeding with he report. "Young master is in trouble!" Liu Lian's heart sank, was little Qing in an accident? She held up the front of her dress and quickly followed the maid to the other side of the shop.

She walked in on Liu Qing standing with tear filled eyes as two women stand with a cold face staring directly at her.

Without second thoughts she ran to Liu Qing and she checked his body for any injuries, seeing none she sighed hugging him.

He was fine.

But he was crying.

"Little Qing what happened?" She asked in a gentle, sweet tone and the young child began to cry harder.

Her face darkened.

"Take him home." She said to the nanny who had been taking care of him and she turned to the two young misses.

Make her little Qing cry?

Are you courting death?

"You're the owner of that little beast?" The first one asked in a haughty tone.

"I'm his sister." She said steadily, not willing to snap at the two in such a shop full of beautiful clothes.

Her little Qing, a beast!?

But they made little Qing cry.

"So you are going to take full responsibility?"

Petty brats.

"What did he do?"

She snorted, this girl dared ask so daringly? Was she not afraid? Her father owned the store. "Your brother left a smudge on my beautiful high quality fabric I was planning to use in making a new dress to gift the Queen."

Liu Lian smirked, this was getting interesting.

Liu Qing wiped away his tears in the sedan and a devilish smile appeared on his face he knew that his Jie jie had only one weakness, him.

So when this ugly girls had laughed a at his Jie Jie behind her back, he wasn't happy.

He only planned to mess up their dresses but they just had to threaten him.

They deserve to be beat up by Jie Jie!

Liu Lian had practically won, the moment she mentioned the Queen the young lady had lost.

"Oh?" Liu Lian said smugly.

"I remember gifting the Queen a few clothes a few days ago and she sent a letter of gratitude and requested for more."

"You dare lie with the name of the Queen!?" One of them screamed raising her hand to hit Liu Lian.

But a beautiful sharp voice resounded through the store.

"What's going on here!?"

Princess Zhou Lan.

Liu Lian smirked forcing a few tears out of her eyes and pretending she to wipe them off. The ladies looked at our shameless main character.

Bitch, you tried.

Zhou Lan was outraged -actually- outraged was an understatement, who wouldn't be shaking with anger if they arrived to see their friend being bullied?

Zhou Lan immediately ran over to Liu Lian. Looking at her pitiful appearance she turned to the two sisters.

"Princess we-" the younger looking one attempted to explain the situation but Zhou Lan wasn't willing to listen. She turned to the two girls as she unknowingly released a deadly aura forcing the two girls to freeze in fear.

The youngest bowed her head not daring to look the princess in the eye, cold sweat rolled down her back as the princess only said one word.

"Kneel."

In a deadly and obviously dangerous voice.

The two immediately dropped on the floor with the head to the earth and their back straightened as not to draw the princess's anger.

Zhou Lan turned away from the two ignoring the crowd of rich ladies gathering by, naturally they could only watch the princess's tyrannical behavior without saying anything. She was royalty, who were they to talk or question her motives?

"Liu Lian what happened?"

Zhou Lan asked in a kinder tone to her friend, Liu lian's shoulders shook as tears fell from her eyes, her shoulders seemed frail and exploited, completely innocent - the complete opposite of Liu Lian.

But Zhou Lan didn't need to know that - actually, it's highly possible that Zhou Lan knew exactly what her friend was doing but chose to indulge her anyway.

"They were threatening this princess's beloved little brother." She said in between sobs, shockingly her tears hadn't run out yet.

"He was so scared Zhou Lan!" She bursts out into louder cries and Zhou lan's heart was moved, what a loving older sister to cry for her little brother like this even though he was a shu born.

Most likely everyone watching felt the same.

"Why did they threaten little Qing?" Zhou Lan asked in a dangerous tone as she had fallen for the little boy's charms too when she visited the Liu manor.

"He stained the ladies outer coat."

All eyes were on the two sisters, petty individuals who would bully a child because of some fabric, heartless women with an upbringing that clearly wasn't good enough. The sisters could feel the hatred and disgust from everyone's eyes and they shivered wishing they could hide from the eyes of the world.

The little sister couldn't bare so much pressure, she attempted to raise her voice but the oldest stopped her just in time, reminding her how temperamental Zhou Lan could be when it came to Liu Lian.

They both bit their tongues and kept their head low.

"And they threatened this princess too! Forcing her to pay for little Qing! Calling this princess a liar!"

Liu Lian said adding fuel to the fire.

"That's not true!" The youngest screamed in an attempt to justify herself.

The oldest cursed under her breath, her Mei Mei was too impulsive, she could get their entire family killed. The oldest looked up and suddenly saw the look of scornful anticipation on Liu lian's face and she immediately gulped and stood up slapping her younger sister and forcing her to kneel.

Her eyes wide open from shock and fear, Liu Lian.... her face.... the devil incarnate!

Liu Lian was a little bit disappointed when the oldest stepped in to save her sister, it looks like the oldest was indeed smart.

"Excuse me?" Zhou Lan responded to the Little girl who whimpered.

"Who here has the highest status?" She asked in a dominating tone, naturally everyone knew it was her!

"You, princess." The oldest replied not leaving any gaps for Liu Lian to poke and agitate.

If she hadn't answered she would've been called disrespectful and arrogant.

Liu Lian smirked, such a smart individual, keeping the wrong company.

"Princess, it's ok." Liu Lian said to her friend, "let them just compensate and let's forget all about it."

What a kind and forgiving princess! Willing to let the two evil doers go for the sake of peace!

Hah.

That's funny.

"Yes we'll gladly compensate!" The oldest said still keeping a plam over her younger sister's mouth, they offended someone that they shouldn't have offended but they only had themselves to blame for being unlucky.

"Will you be able to pay?" Liu Lian asked taking this chance to dominate the scene.

"Princess...?."

"When I was born I was blessed by the foreign god Tsukiyomi and now you have forced me to grieve and spill tears for you, how much do you think my tears are worth?"

The youngest was outraged! She wanted to shout liar but her older sister held her down forcefully.

"My brother is related to my father, the father in law of the king of hell, tell me, after causing him so much pain how much do you think you owe me?"

The lounge was quiet, everyone had let it cross their minds.

The one reason that you shouldn't offend Liu Lian, was because of her fiancé.

The tyrannical King of Hell!

Liu Lian smirked, she leaned down bringing her lips to the older sister's ears, she whispered.

"I could set your world on fire and call it rain."
