30. Jealousy is a disease. Get well soon....

" Miss Mo", Lu Chang Chang curtsied. As much as Mo Jia didn't want to wish her back, to keep up her angelic image she replied curtly." Miss Lu", she said.

" It is Mrs. Mo…. Not Miss Lu..", Mo Ting Xiao spoke up. Mo Jia who was already burning with anger and envy felt even more enraged when he heard his statement.

The position of Mrs. Mo was only hers…. No one was more worthy than her… She was not going to let anyone have what she wanted….

" It's okay Miss Mo…. Just call me Chang Chang..", You Chang Chang said. Mo Jia just looked at her.

Even if it was not very visible, the anger and hatred in Mo Jia's eyes were clearly evident. Lu Chang Chang just smirked. She felt like she was in an idol drama now.

Seeing that there was only silence, Lu Chang Chang spoke up." If Miss Mo hasn't had her breakfast yet, then please join us..", she said calmly.

" Young Miss has-", Mo Jia's handmaid started but was interrupted by her." Sure.. ", Mo Jia replied and then glared at the maid.

Her maid was confused because they had already had their breakfast and looked at her, but she understood what was going on when she was met with her glare.

Mo Jia wasn't going to let her man be alone with a ' vile woman' when she was around. She had to find a way to kick her out.

The three of them walked towards the middle of the courtyard to have breakfast in the open.

Mo Jia had expected to see Lu Chang Chang clinging on to Mo Ting Xiao. But what she saw was the complete opposite.

Every time she tried to get his attention, he would immediately turn to Lu Chang Chang. She was just getting angrier by every passing second.

During breakfast, both Mo Ting Xiao and Lu Chang Chang were putting food into each other's bowls. Mo Jia's presence was completely ignored. She did manage to put some food into his bowl but nothing more.

The fact that Mo Jia was burning was an understatement. She was jealous… Jealous as hell… The greatest wish she had right now was to strangle Lu Chang Chang.

The two of them paid no attention to the girl who was burning next to them. They were in their own bubble.

Seeing that there was no way they would look at her, she placed her chopsticks down with force to gain their attention.

She needed to separate them. She was desperate to get rid of Lu Chang Chang and was willing to use any method.

" Brother Ting Xiao… See… Is this hairpin beautiful..", she asked with an excited voice. She pointed to the fancy hairpin stuck in her hair.

It was made of gold. On the thicker end, there were five strings of expensive beads hanging. It was beautiful and expensive.

Mo Ting Xiao looked at her for a brief second before replying." Mmm..", he hummed and continued eating.

Mo Jia became annoyed and started ranting about the history of the hairpin to get his attention.

" This hairpin was specially made by Master He for me…. Each of the string represents each of the elements present. Earth, Fire, Metal, Wood and Water…

Brother Ting Xiao knows Master He right??.. He is the greatest jeweller in this empire… This is the only piece that exists in this universe and I am so fortunate that he gave it to me…

I don't know what good deeds I had done in my past life to receive such an honour…", she started speaking.

She kept going on and on and on….

Mo Ting Xiao paid no attention to the details presented by Mo Jia. Lu Chang Chang just listened to it casually.

When Mo Jia said about the five elements, Lu Chang Chang was going to correct her saying there were only four. But then she suddenly remembered that in this era, people believed that there were five elements. So she would only end up looking like an idiot in front of them.

Seeing that Mo Ting Xiao was giving no reply to her, Lu Chang Chang felt it was a bit rude and decided to speak instead of him.

" The hairpin is indeed beautiful Miss Mo..", she commented with a simple smile.

Mo Jia studied Lu Chang Chang's face for a few seconds. She initially felt like she was being mocked but then she saw the calm yet genuine expression on her face she believed her.

She smiled and replied," Thank you Chang Chang… Your hairpin is unique as well…". Mo Jia was smiling widely internally thinking that Lu Chang Chang was jealous of her.

" Um.. Thanks… I prefer simpler designs and so frequently wear this Jade one…", Lu Chang Chang replied awkwardly.

She didn't expect to be "complimented" by Mo Jia. Though her reply was genuine. She wasn't very much into luxurious and fancy stuff. She preferred simpler ones that served it's purpose.

Then it was only silence.

And this wasn't the last time Mo Jia ranted about her hairpin… Within two days of her stay, every single soul in the palace knew all about the hairpin…

Most of them had already memorized all the details due to the number of times she kept repeating the story…

Phew… I pity the people of Yuan Zheng palace…
