Unpretentious Third Miss 1 Chapter One

*Thump... Thump.. Thump!*

"Yi Lian! Where is my book?" a young man burst through the doors of the third miss of the Yu clan.

"I'm reading it, what's wrong?" Horrified, the young man quickly s.n.a.t.c.hed the book from Yi Lian's grasps.

"Oh lord, what will happen if father finds out you've found and read my book? I'll be dead! Wait! Why do you have my book?" Creased eyebrows and a questioning look was directed towards Yi Lian.

Not answering Yi Lian shrugged her shoulders and lifted herself off her comfortable bed and exited her room heading towards the main kitchen.

"Yi Lian answer me! Yi Lian! Y-yi Lian please don't tell father!" Frowning the young man lifelessly walked back to his part of the manor hoping fate favors him.

'What is there to eat? What do I want to eat? I'm tired, I should've just stayed in bed and ordered the servants to bring the food to me. Oh well I'm also there anyhow. Wait did someone call me?' Looking back and seeing no one in sight Yi Lian brushed it off and kept on going.

"Chen Chen, what's there to eat?" Looking around the smoking kitchen Yi Lian headed to the spot which she knew where the snacks were kept and started to munch on them. Coming out from the cellar the cook smiled at Yi Lian whose cheeks were filled with snacks making her look like a squirrel.

"I'm making your favorite right now, the recipe you made for me. Chocolate shao lin baos and of course how could I forget Fried Chicken Drumsticks!" Lifting a silver cover the cook revealed a succulent looking shao lin bao which was filled with a dark filling and chicken wing that were fried until golden brown.

Smiling Yi Lian walked over and toss the snacks over her right shoulder. Picking up a shao lin bao Yi Lian bit a small section of it, soon an overflowing stream of sweet smelling filling was spreading throughout the kitchen. Not a second later Yi Lian shoved all two tiers of chocolate shao lin baos down her mouth. Next was the crispy chicken drumsticks, eyeing them Yi Lian picked up the plate and took a jug of water and left. The cook named Chen Chen by Yi Lian smiled what would society think of the icy prime minister's third daughter whom eats her chicken drumsticks to the bones.

Once seated in her room Yi Lian licked her lips and opened the jar of water. Smelling the first piece she picked up, Yi Lian drooled a bit. Slowly she closed the distance between the drumstick and her mouth. Biting down she could hear the crisp of the perfectly cooked skin. In her mouth was the tender meat and the flavor of the chicken was spicy but not so much that it numbs her tongue. Soon all thirteen drumsticks were gone, only bones were left. Calling in a servant to take away the plate of bones, the servant was scared as she went in. The third miss held an indifferent and cold look, Xiao Wu has been the only servant to witness these bones. Xiao Wu never voiced out what she seen coming from the third miss's room.

'Why is she so scared? Should I say hi this time? What's her name again? Xiao Chi? Xiao Wu? Is there even a Xiao in her name?'

Yi Lian focused her stare on Xiao Wu intensely, Xiao Wu feeling the stare of her mistress sweated. Each step of Xiao Wu was a sweat form upon her body.

"H-hey, come here.." Jumping a bit Xiao Wu confused with her mistress words yet she went towards her mistress.

"Y-yes, third miss?" Xiao Wu bowed and instantly kneel down upon the feet of her mistress.

'What do I say to her? Why, is she suppose to kneel down?'

"Nothing, go. I want to sleep." Peeping up Xiao Wu saw her mistress wave her hand for her to leave, Xiao Wu up and disappear within seconds.

Instead of sleeping Yi Lian played her jade dizi, the rest of the evening Yi Lian's dizi was heard through out the manor bring peaceful dreams to everyone.

The following morning a decree was issued to the prime minister's manor. Kneeling on their knees the personal eunuch announced the decree.

"Ninth Young Mistress of the Prime Minister Manor receive the imperial decree!" Stepping up and walking towards the front the ninth young miss is our over powered female lead!

Kneeling down the ninth young miss bowed.

"His Majesty the Emperor decrees that the Ninth Young Miss Yu Lan Yi is virtuous, kind, and talented thus is to be wed to the Ninth Prince of the Wu kingdom as the main wife! End of decree, Ninth Young, oh no no. Ninth Imperial princess please accept the decree." Lifting her arms Lan Yi accepted the decree with a slight smile. No one saw she thought but one person saw, Yi Lian saw her smile.

'Why is she smiling? Isn't she saw that she can't merry the person she likes?'

"Hey, isn't the ninth prince the crush of third sister? Isn't ninth sister stealing third sister's lover?" Yu Lan heard this and dashed her eyes to an icy looking third miss.

'Umm.. I wonder what Chen Chen is cooking for me at the moment. I should've told him before now.' Yu Lan stared at Yi Lian and her heart melted!

'Such a cute looking doll! I'm going to dress her up and make her eat cute food!' Yi Lian unaware of Yu Lan's thoughts went on worrying about her afternoon meal.

Walking back to her wing Yi Lian was not aware of Yu Lan following her discreetly.

"I will make you my little sister one way or another.." Eyeballing Yi Lian, Yu Lan followed her until she entered her private chambers.

Sneaking into Yi Lian's room Yu Lan witness her adorable older sister devouring a Spanish flan and a turkey leg to the bone. Speechless Yu Lan fell from the roof beams.

Groaning in pain Yu Lan finally focused on Yi Lian's slightly red face.

*BDum BDum*

"Ah!!! Kawaii!" Jumping to Yi Lian, Yu Lan smashed her well developed bosom onto Yi Lian's face.

Smus.h.i.+ng Yi Lian's cheeks Yu Lan smiled like a lunatic,

"Ah!! You lunatic let go of me! Rapist!" Shocked even further Yu Lan screamed.

"Your an American!"
