NOVEL NEXT Chapter 536 - 536: A Life Is Taken (40 updates)
“This matter, if not handled well, could cost someone their life.”
Thinking of this, the housekeeper felt a deep fear within his heart.
In front of the prime minister’s residence, even a seventh-rank official must show respect. The woman of the Prince Regent represents the face of the Prince Regent himself; who would dare to so easily strike it?
What, have they eaten the heart of a bear or the gall of a leopard?
When Sun Yian arrived, Xie Zhinuan and the others had gone out and not yet returned; it was Auntie Chen who met Sun Yian at the main gate, “What are you here for?” Auntie Chen sized up Sun Yian, and Sun Yian did the same to her.
The man before her seemed overly indulgent, his body hollowed out.
Not a good sort at all.
Sun Yian, however, thought Auntie Chen looked too stern and unsmiling, lacking any fun; one glance at her, and he didn’t want a second one.
He was the kind who didn’t distinguish between meat and greens, as long as he could cajole someone into his bed, regardless of age.
This old woman, no fun at all.
Auntie Chen narrowed her eyes, feeling offended, which was very unpleasant.
“I’m looking for your young lady!” Sun Yian’s tone was brash as he spoke out.
Auntie Chen’s frown deepened, “My lady is not in, I warn you to leave at once, otherwise today will not end as simply as being thrown into water!”
“Old woman, so it was you!” Sun Yian narrowed his eyes.
It turns out, the old woman who had caused him to be thrown into the water yesterday was none other than the person before him, detestable and hateful.
“What of it? Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Auntie Chen stared coldly at Sun Yian.
With a stretch of her hand, people came over with clubs in hand.
Among them were even two guards.
Sun Yian knew that those guards were highly skilled in martial arts; if it came to blows, he would surely be at a great disadvantage.
“No, no, don’t do that, ah. I offended you yesterday, but now, living just next door, we are neighbors, and neighbors should visit each other!” Sun Yian said with a smile.
His eyes were full of schemes.
“There’s no need!” Auntie Chen said and turned to close the main door, just as Xie Zhinuan and their carriage returned.
She thought to herself that this was indeed an unfortunate timing.
Sun Yian looked back to see.
Seeing the carriage stop at the gate, an old lady got off the carriage, glaring at him with a hate so intense in her eyes it seemed as though she might pounce and bite him fiercely at any moment.
Mrs. Jiao had to use all her strength to keep herself from lunging at Sun Yian; her whole body was trembling.
Xie Zhinuan lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Sun Yian.
With a sweep of her gaze, she identified Sun Yian’s identity.
The son of the County Magistrate, that beast!
She extended her hand to Mrs. Jiao, who, crying, hesitated before tremblingly holding onto Xie Zhinuan’s fair hand.
Before Xie Zhinuan could get off the carriage, she pushed Mu Rourou, who was about to get off, back inside, softly saying, “You don’t come down.”
Mu Rourou was startled.
But she peeked through the curtain at Sun Yian.
Seeing his eyes obsessed with watching Xie Zhinuan, the emotions in his gaze were so repulsive she nearly vomited.
“I, I…” Mu Rourou stuttered.
In the end, she obediently sat inside the carriage.
Sun Yian had never seen such a beautiful woman, not just in her looks but even her bone structure was so ravishing that it made one’s soul soften.
He felt that such a beauty, if he could possess her just once, would make his life worthwhile.
Yet Xie Zhinuan did not give him as much as a glance, letting Mrs. Jiao support her into the mansion.
Not a spare glance, not even curiosity, aroused in him an itch he couldn’t scratch.
“This humble one, the son of the county official, Sun Yian, has seen the lady, the lady…”
But Xie Zhinuan had already passed by him, entering the main gate directly.
A wisp of Leng Zhuxiang’s fragrance drifted by him, so enchanting that his soul nearly flew away.
