Chapter 356: Chu Lian Loses Her Temper (1) (1/2)

The old soldier shook his head awkwardly. It was hard for him to admit he hadn’t been able to find out what Chu Lian was up to. That small courtyard of hers was now bustling with activity and there were people hauling wooden planks in and out all the time.

Although the old soldier was unable to come up with any words to report, Mo Chenggui was able to understand the meaning behind his silence. He had already been simmering with anger towards Chu Lian before this. This strange new activity of hers was the last bit of fuel that sent his temper rocketing sky-high!

He slammed his palm on the table, making the porcelain teacups on it clatter as they trembled from the force. “Is Third Young Madam completely ignoring our presence?!”

Back then, he hadn’t been very approving of the matriarch sending Third Young Madam here to the north. She was just a little girl, barely come of age, who was probably used to being spoiled all day and night. What would she be able to achieve out here?

Just look at what she had done on the way here.

She had been sent here to help Third Young Master, but her actions said otherwise. She had clearly come out to sightsee on her personal leisure trip, but at public expense!

The moment she had arrived at the northern border, she had already caused trouble for Third Young Master and he had been punished by martial law.

Mo Chenggui had been held back by He Changdi’s orders previously. Even though he was extremely unhappy with Chu Lian, he had suppressed his anger towards her and hadn’t done anything. They had each minded their own business.

However, this sudden snow storm was like the last piece of straw that broke the camel’s back. All of the negative emotions within Mo Chenggui had accumulated to a point where he could no longer suppress them. Right now, he felt like a volcano about to explode.

These two days, the first thing that Chu Lian did every morning after waking up was to visit the old carpenter in the storehouse and check on the progress of her project.

Although the old carpenter was a little too shrewd, he was an utmost professional and skilled at his craft. After making a promise to Chu Lian, he had devoted his heart to his work. After working with his sons and grandsons for two days and two nights, Chu Lian’s project was almost complete.
