94 Ruthless Words (2/2)

Xia Chunyu returned to the Marquis residence angrily. His foul mood only became worse when the servants reported that Chunfeng has yet to return to the mansion. That brat.

He returned to his room to take a bath, washing away the negative emotions. Xia Chunyu grabbed a book and laid on the bed, but even after a few pages in, not one word has registered in his mind.

His ears kept ringing with the hard words that she said.

Let's see if you don't regret this, wench.

Qiao Xi entered with a pot of tea and took the initiative to report on Da Bao and Er Bao's condition.

”Da Bao seemed to be unable to eat properly for some reason.”

Xia Chunyu asked, ”Is it ill? Get a physician to take a look.”

Qiao Xi blinked. Get a physician? What physician? Is there a physician for rabbits?

Xia Chunyu closed his eyes, realizing the mistake in what he just said. ”Tell the housekeeper to find someone experienced in rearing rabbits to take a look.”

Just after Qiao Xi left, Song Qi entered the room. He said cautiously, ”Heir-Son Lord, Jiang Li is here.”

”What for?” Xia Chunyu said coldly. He was listening attentively, though.

Song Qi felt guilty. If he hadn't been such a blabbermouth, the Heir-Son Lord and Ms. Ye would not have quarreled.

”Heir-Son Lord, Jiang Li said that Ms. Ye was crying terribly.”

Xia Chunyu sat up straight but laid back down after some thought.

Wasn't she very arrogant? Why would she cry? She doesn't mince her words. She just says whatever comes to mind without even caring whether others could take it or not. Now that it was her turn to suffer, she could not take it? Let her cry.

”So what?” Xia Chunyu said indifferently.

Song Qi's shoulder slumped in defeat.

Song Qi watched the Heir-Son Lord's expression and carefully said, ”I think you can't blame Ms. Ye for this, Heir-Son Lord. It was most probably initiated by Third Young Master, you know that Third Young Master is a little excitable and Ms. Ye is dressed as a man…”

Xia Chunyu threw the book aside, and looked at Song Qi expressionlessly, making the latter shudder with fear.

”You've said enough. Scram.”

Since she doesn't care about him at all, then he should just let her be. Besides, he made his stand. Men should always follow through on what they say.

However, the image of her tearful face surfaced in his mind. Xia Chunyu flung his head back and forth, but he could not seem to shake that image away. He covered his face with the book and thought with annoyance, Was I too ruthless?

Song Qi left dejectedly.

He went out to meet Jiang Li. ”Heir-Son Lord is still in a fit of anger. Perhaps it will all blow over after he calms down.”

Jiang Li silently sighed. His father said that this matter was just between the two of them and no one should intervene, but he couldn't help but try to make things right. He sincerely thought that Third Madam was a good woman and has a pitiful plight. She was a well-off young lady who was reduced to having to dress up as a man to make a living. How difficult was that? She could have lived a life of luxury with the support of Heir-Son Lord, but she chose to wake up in the wee hours of the morning to work. She didn't depend on anyone. How many young ladies in the world would be able to be as strong as her?

Perhaps men liked weaker women and more obedient women, so they could not see the positive points of Third Madam.

”Go back home. Tell your mother and sister to take good care of Ms. Ye, and I will try my best to think of something on this side,” Song Qi said apologetically.

Jiang Li nodded. When he was leaving, he ran into Xia Chunfeng who was just now returning to the house.

”Third Young Master,” Song Qi greeted, clasping onto his fist.

Xiao Chungfeng pointed at the silhouette of Jiang Li. ”Who's that?”

”Someone Second Young Master called to do some work,” Song Qi replied perfunctorily.

”Oh.” Xia Chunfeng nodded. ”Is my second brother asleep?”

”Not yet, he is reading in the study.”

”I'm going to talk to him.” Xia Chunfeng walked towards the study purposefully. He felt that he had to tell Chunyu about what happened to Heavenly Residence. He went to investigate with Little Jing and found Boss Sun. After using threats and rewards, they finally found out that the mastermind was from the palace. It really didn't take a genius to figure out that Liu Li was behind all of these.

”Ay… Third Young Master, it's best that you don't disturb him now.” Song Qi blocked him.

Xia Chunfeng raised a brow. ”Why not?”

Well, because Ms. Ye and Heir-Son Lord had a fight because of you. If you go in there now, with him feeling so terrible, he might just take a swing at you.

”Second Young Master is not in a good mood and he even lost his temper just now. Third Young Master, with his current state, I think you'd just get criticized and scolded,” Song Qi said.

Xia Chunfeng backed away. He definitely wouldn't like that. He and Helian Jing could handle this by themselves.

”Then I better not disturb him.” Xia Chunfeng curled his lips and walked straight to his courtyard.

Song Qi massaged his temples, feeling a headache coming. Please let this crisis end.
