Chapter 412 : Something is Wrong!

Shi Tianlong became a little flustered. ”Ning Marquis, my apologies. His Majesty ordered this soldier to stay in the Ning Residence for a few days to protect you. I have the Imperial orders with me, and this soldier does not dare defy them”

Just as she thought, it seems like Emperor Le Xuan feared that she might break her promise and leave overnight. Hence, he placed somebody to keep watch until the wedding day Ning Xuemo nodded and did not speak afterwards. She then rode little qilin and entered the residence.

Shi Tianlong gestured to his bodyguard subordinates to split up to different areas to monitor her in secret, before he followed Ning Xuemo into her residence unwillingly.

Ning Xuemo was still feeling a bit puzzled. Old Zhong, who was an efficient worker of hers, would usually lead all the workers to fetch her at the entrance whenever she returned home from outside. However, this time when Ning Xuemo came home, he was neither in sight nor did he or anyone else come out to welcome her

She felt something was amiss, and once she entered the hall, she immediately knew something was up.

There was somebody sitting on the main seat at the hall. Someone with long black luscious hair, wearing an unconventional attire that illustrated a few plants and flowers that seemed to be dancing as he moved.

Han Shanyue! How did he end up at her house? And he was shamelessly sitting on the seat meant for the master of the residence.

Ning Xuemo's eyes noted his shoes underneath his gown, and it was a pair of casual wooden clogs that was usually meant to be worn in the household.

Old Zhong was instructing the two maids to clean the furniture in the hall and had made sure that they were free of dust. Everything was so smooth that even a fly would slip off the surface. But of course, there were no flies at all in the hall

When Ning Xuemo stepped into the hall, Han Shanyue glanced at her and said, ”You are finally back.” His tone sounded like he was the master of the household.

”Why are you here?” exclaimed Ning Xuemo, and her tone did not sound pleasant at all.

”The Heavenly teacher residence is being renovated, and I would be staying here for a few days.” Han Shanyue replied very confidently.

”I do not remember inviting you over!” Ning Xuemo's tone was hostile.

”You are my concubine, hence your residence automatically becomes mine. ”
