Ok, sorry for the very late update, but I had temporary writers block for this story. Also a year has passed, so its now 215, anyway nothing really much to say other then some of my OCs will appear and well, I can't think of anything else to say really, other than the fact is I can't come up with a title for this chapter.

Assassin master ezio 91: I love cat fights as well! Thanks and the wait is over.

Empress Jing of Jin: Aren't we all glad Lady Tao got beaten by Yan? And no she shouldn't of said that in front of Diao Ning. But she was Diao Chan's arch enemy. The wait is over.

gaara'sGurl101: Yep Lady Tao did get her ass kicked, like we all wanted. Thanks!


Diao Ning, stared as Lady Tao, and her daughter Tao Ming walked past. Lady Tao glared at Diao Ning who merely childishly stuck her tongue out at Lady Tao, who gasped and glared harder as she walked away.

Tao Ming was giving evil looks to Diao Ning who rolled her eyes, Tao Ming was so immature. "Ah. Sha Kai, beautiful day isn't it?" Qiao Yan asked a peasent who livedin the same village as her. This village was very, very close to the capital of Shu.

Diao Ning smiled at the old Sha Kai, although rumour has it he was a former member of the Yellow Turbans, whatever that was, and still believed in the Way of Peace. Whatever that is. Sha Kai merely glared at Qiao Yan, before continueing his walk to his friends cottage.

"Whats his problem." Qiao Yan muttered to herself, Diao Ning just stared at her adopted sister, and looked at the cottage the mean old man was walking to. The cottage belonged to Heng Zuo, a unfriendly person.

Although he was friendlier than Sha Kai. "Ah, Qiao Yan. Diao Ning. Please forgive my fathers rudeness. He doesn't want me to marry, Liu Ziyi. So he's a little grumpier than usual." Sha Kai's 15 year old son Sha Pi said.

Diao Ning liked Sha Pi, he was friendly, and intelligent, and he helped Diao Ning and Qiao Yan with looking after Pang Yu, who had learned to walk, and was already learning to talk. Although Qiao Yan probably had suspicions about him.

Qiao Yan smiled again, and replied. "Its ok, I expected him to say, don't talk to me you ignorant teen.' Or something along those lines, but why doesn't he want you to marry Liu Bei's daughter?"

"I don't know, he is very confusing." Sha Pi said, as he let off a chuckle, "Guess I better go see my fiance." Diao Ning decided to speak, she had met Liu Zhiyi once, and Ziyi seemed to be very fun, and nice. "Tell Lady Liu I said hi!"

Sha Pi laughed, "I will." Sha Pi, then left. Qiao Yan and Diao Ning waved goodbye. Qiao Yan rolled her eyes, as she stared at the beautiful Lady of Shu, talking to Lady Tao, and Yan chuckled at the looks the Lady of Shu was giving to Tao Ming.

The Lady of Shu was one of Liu Bei's wives, no one knew her name and as a result they just called her, the Lady of Shu. Diao Ning also stared at the Lady of Shu and was laughing, at how uncomfortable the Lady of Shu was, being in what the Lady of Shu referred to as a 'disgusting and vile place'

Qiao Yan and Diao Ning immediantly ceased their laughter when the Lady of Shu walked over to them, she smiled. The Lady of Shu, while being good friends with Lady Tao, was on friendly terms with Diao Chan, and was upset when she died. Unlike Lady Tao who was overjoyed.

Qiao Yan couldn't help but smirk at the upset look on Lady Tao's face. Another thing about the Lady of Shu was that she couldn't stand Tao Ming. "How are you coping." The Lady of Shu said in a unusaully friendly voice.

Everyone knew that the Lady of Shu was cold hearted and haughty. "Umm. We are fine?" Qiao Yan said, confused at why the Lady of Shu was being nice. "Here have this, it must be difficult without having your mother around or your husband." The Lady of Shu said, as gave Qiao Yan and Diao Ning, enough money to pay the tax (AN: what was the currency called during the 3 Kingdoms era?)

Qiao Yan and Diao Ning reluctantly took the money. The Lady of Shu smiled, before snapping her fingers. "Lady Tao, were leaving this dump." The Lady of Shu said, as she started leaving, not waiting for Lady Tao or Tao Ming to catch up.

Both Qiao Yan and Diao Ning laughed, as Lady Tao and Tao Ming ran to join the Lady of Shu. A woman, named Wang Ji suddenly approached, "Qiao Yan, may I speak to you." Wang Ji said, Diao Ning and Qiao Yan both agreed Wang Ji was beautiful and strong.

"In private." Wang Ji added. Qiao Yan nodded, and Diao Ning knew she had to leave. Diao Ning went inside the cottage, and tried to listen to Yan's and Ji's conversation. But was failing. Ning sighed as she only heard Qiao Yan saying. "I could never!"

It was a shame really, she wanted to listen to the conversation, but Wang Ji would of noticed her if she went outside the cottage, how tragic. Then Qiao Yan would of scolded her, it would of been a disaster, then Yan would of found some way to punish Ning.


Ok, I know not very long, or good, but I still have writers block for this story and that was the best I could do, and I have no idea why I made the Lady of Shu nice or why I just threw in Wang Ji at the end. I guess I just couldn't think of anything. SO anyway please review.
