Chapter 232.2: Beautiful Mountains and Rivers (2/2)
“What’s fun about watching crows being driven off? It’s fine, I won’t watch. Ximen gongzi can just play as you wish. Goodbye.”
After nodding slightly, she took out that medicinal book again and continued on her way.
After she left, Ximen Qing retrieved his gaze and turned to look in the direction San Yu had left in. The smile on his face immediately disappeared and he gave a cold humph. He never imagined that that woman and Li Xueyi were actually acquaintances. It was a good thing he hadn’t agreed to her request, otherwise he would have been implicated and killed before he knew what hit him.
As he thought about this, he turned and walked back into the residence with elegant swaying steps. He looked towards the two trembling servants that were kneeling inside, then shouted towards the courtyard, “Someone, come!”
“Master.” After a brief moment filled with the sound of rapid footsteps, a bunch of old servants appeared.
Ximen Qing lifted his slender hand and pointed towards the two servants. “Throw them into the corpse mound, then have Lady Qin to deliver the Beautiful Mountains and Rivers wedding dress to Young City Lord. Just say that I, Ximen Qing, wish them a happy marriage and hope that they will be a couple who will walk shoulder by shoulder into old age.”
“Isn’t Beautiful Mountains and Rivers…” The servant at the very front had been listening to all the instructions calmly, but when he heard the words ‘beautiful mountains and rivers,’ his expression abruptly changed.
Ximen Qing’s gracefully drawn brows immediately lifted. “Absolutely disgraceful! It’s been a long time since I’ve lectured you guys, so all of you forgot the rules?”
“M-master, please have mercy. This little one was only surprised. This little one had no intention of disobeying your instructions,” explained the servant as he trembled with fear.
“That’s more like it. Go now. If you do well, there’ll be a reward.”
“Understood!”
Beautiful Mountains and Rivers, it truly was exciting to await.
