1041 Suffer Your Own Consequences 5 (1/2)

”Great Aunt!” Immediately upon seeing Lin Feng being grabbed, Lin Que's heart jumped.

”You have an opinion?” Qu Xin Rui smiled coldly at Lin Que.

Lin Que froze in place, his mouth agape and his shivering continued unabated, as a faint chattering sound could be heard coming out from between his teeth. He slunk down to the ground in obeisance, not daring to utter another word.

”Great Aunt have mercy! I have realised my mistake! I have really realised my mistake!” Having been grabbed and picked up, Lin Feng did not have the mind to worry about the pain that was wrecking at his body at that moment. Upon hearing that Qu Xin Rui wanted him to be disciplined, he knew that he was in really big trouble this time and there was nothing he could not do but to beg and plead loudly.

”Father! Save me….. save me…..” Lin Feng's voice was sounding highly terrified.

[He had done wrong, he realised that he had really gotten it all wrong this time. He had never ever thought that Jun Xie could be the Fire Country's Emperor. If he had known, he would have immediately understood Qu Xin Rui's intentions for trying to win Jun Xie's favour, and he wouldn't have dared to be so discourteous to Jun Xie in the first place.]

But Lin Feng himself did not know why he had been unable to hold himself back at all earlier, that had made him utter such self damning words.

A pity Qu Xin Rui did not care, and Lin Que did not dare to care.

Lin Feng was dragged downstairs by that man and when his figure disappeared down the stairs, his screams still reverberated within the banquet.

Qu Xin Rui slowly leaned back upon the long lounge, resting her head upon her hand as she looked at Lin Que kneeling upon the ground and said: ”I'll discipline him here for a few days and send him back to you after that. You can get up now.”

Lin Que was silent for a moment before he stammered: ”I thank Great Aunt for your concern.”

He got up and went back quietly to his seat, where he did not say another word after that.

On the rug, the bloodstain thrown up by Lin Feng was still a bright red grisly shade, mixing the stench of blood with the sickly sweet scent that hung heavily in the room.

The sound of the zither then played, as if nothing has happened.
