Chapter 104 She Was So Bold (1/2)
“What's wrong? You met someone?” the young man with a cold face asked without stopping.
“I seemed to see someone I know!” The quirky boy, who was younger than the man, stared at the room upstairs. If he was right, the girl came out from that room.
The cold-faced boy didn't care about what he just said.
The waiter continued to take them to their private room, but when they just walked past Qin Wanru's room, the younger boy suddenly opened the door of the closed room.
The grim-faced boy stopped unpleasantly and rebuked him in a low voice, “Stop it.”
“Big brother, I met a friend! Let's share a table with her!” The younger boy was not so fastidious, pointing at the room inside.
In the private room, Qin Wanru was still holding a cup of tea in her hand. She was startled by the movement of the door being opened. But she quickly regained her composure. Her eyes fell on the face of the grim-faced boy, then she lightly frowned. She thought that he was familiar somehow. But she didn't know him!
When she looked at the young boy striding in recklessly, she couldn't help frowning.
“Second Miss Qin, may I share a table with you?” The little boy walked straight in before Qin Wanru had said anything. He just pulled up a chair next to her and sat down.
So, he was just asking. That didn't mean anything even if she said no.
“How can you be so rude? Come out of there, little brother!” said the young man in a cool, dignified voice. Then he glanced at the delicate face of Qin Wanru, thinking that this young lady looked like she came from a well-off family. Why didn't she have a servant by her side? Then it hit him that her maid might have just walked away because his fourth brother had seen her maid outside the room, he said he met someone he knew.
Then he moved, wanting to leave the room.
“Big brother, this is Second Miss of Ningyuan Army General's Mansion. We've met her before!” The younger boy laughed loudly.
“The second daughter of Qin Huaiyong?” The grim-faced boy stopped and thought for a while. Then he walked into the room and even sat down in the chair in front of Qin Wanru.
Qin Wanru pursed her pink lips with her big bright eyes falling on the brothers. Anyone could see that she was not in a good mood.
“Second Miss Qin, you can call me Mr. Xin. This is my eldest brother. Since we knew each other before, I think it's fine that we have some tea together.” Mr. Xin spoke as if they were old friends. He didn't take himself as a stranger at all, pouring himself a cup of tea and taking a sip.
A servant standing behind the grim-faced boy came forward and poured a cup of tea for them, and then respectfully moved backward.
“Where have you been? I've been chasing you for a long time. I didn't expect you to run so fast for such a little girl like you. It's amazing. I've never seen such a lady from a well-off family who can climb walls and run so fast!”
Mr. Xin gave Qin Wanru a thumbs up and praised her.
The Capital City, Mr. Xin and the man who looked familiar in front of her. Qin Wanru was suddenly reminded of a name, then it made her blood run cold!
Mr. Xin had to be the fourth son of the emperor.
Her hand firmly holding the handkerchief was shaking slightly. Fortunately, she put her hands under the table. She had already died once and now possessed the memory of a second life. Otherwise, she would have stood up uncontrollably, turned around, and run away.
She remembered who he was.
The eldest brother was Prince Yue, Chu Liuyue, the current emperor's first prince. He was once appointed as the Prince of the East Court. But he was deposed after two years. And Chu Liuchen became the new prince. Most importantly, it was Chu Liuyue who had given the order to cut her body in half at the waist!
The child… the sixth prince, who had been left for her to take care of, died when he was put in her arms. That woman handed him to her and immediately accused her of strangling the child to death. And everyone around her claimed that the woman was telling the truth.
On that day, it was clear that he was standing on a pavilion not far away and saw everything. But he didn't help her. He said nothing and made her sacrifice her life and become the first person to be put to death through the torturous punishment of cutting the body in half at the waist. He even drugged her and made her dumb, depriving of her chance to defend herself.
At that time, she didn't understand. But after she was cut and had one breath left, she suddenly realized it. That woman was with Chu Liuyue. They strangled the child to death and needed someone to take the blame. Without that child, the only remaining bloodline of the emperor would be him. He could also use the emperor to deal with Chu Liuchen!
She was just a p.a.w.n to cover up his crime!
She felt that she was in such tremendous pain. Of course she hated him so much.
Subconsciously, she raised the cup in her hands and spilled it on Chu Liuyue's face with madness in her eyes.
The tea was not hot, because it had been in her hand for a while. But it did startle Chu Liuyue. He saw the tea coming from right above his head and wet his fastidious clothes.
