Chapter 1152 - Take Your Hand Away
The peeled egg rolled beside his foot.
“Lowly servant, what are you waiting for? Do you need an invitation? Pick up the egg!” Yuyu ordered.
Swallowing down a breath, Feng Lingxue walked over to him, slowly crouching over to pick up the peeled egg.
When she came over, Xuan Ying moved, slumping against the chair as he spread his legs casually. Resting one hand on the armrest, he lowered his eyes to look at the woman beside him.
She stretched her hand out to pick up the egg.
Right when she was about to reach for it, he stretched his leg out, kicking the egg far away.
Feng Lingxue’s hand froze in mid-air, she knew that he did it on purpose to humiliate her. He was making it clear that he was the master while she was just his slave.
Moving towards it, Feng Lingxue continued, wanting to pick up the egg.
After a few words, Xuan Ying left with Ah Zhou, with the cold wind from outside billowing his black trench coat like a cape of darkness.
…
In the bulletproof luxurious car.
Xuan Ying rested on the seat while Ah Zhou reported, “Master, South Duke has ordered us to lead the troops and eliminate the bandits in Jingzhou, but that’s Xuan Mu’s jurisdictional area. Xuan Mu is the eldest son of the South Duke and South Duchess, but he’s not capable at all. If you hadn’t come back three years ago, the South Palace most probably would have been wiped out by the West Duke, Lu Yeming.
“It seems like the South Duke is still intending to let Xuan Mu be his successor. The only reason he gives you so much power is because he wants you to slog your life away for him. Those bandits in Jingzhou are infamous and known for their brutality and ruthless ways. It is bound to be a gruesome fight.”
Even Ah Zhou knew about it, how could Xuan Ying possibly not?
The corners of his lips slowly kicked up into a wry smile. He was merely a concubine’s child of a lowly blood lineage.
They were both his sons, but Xuan Mu received the finest treatment in life while he was brought by his father to an underground prison, watching the brutal treatment of their enemies.
The only person who truly loved him on earth was his mother.
He originally thought that Feng Lingxue treated him wholeheartedly too.
But she didn’t.
She stabbed him in the back so heartlessly.
His hatred for her was like a blazing hot flame.
Within seconds, Xuan Ying hid all of his emotions away, not showing anything on his face. “Let’s go. I’m going to raid those bandits’ hideout and kick their a**es.”
His voice was inexplicably dark and dangerous.
…
Three days later.
Xuan Ying left for three days and during this time, Feng Lingxue stayed in Snow Mountain Residence, washing dishes, cleaning the residence and doing all sorts of endless chores.
Somehow, she had become the public enemy.
Ever since he lifted her skirt in the dining room the other time to see her underwear, those beauties had developed a deep hatred towards her.
After the maids witnessed how Xuan Ying treated her and they looked down on her too. Every night, she would drag her exhausted self back to her room, sometimes she wouldn’t even have dinner.
She had zero dignity.
Being here, she really was the lowest of the low.
Late at night, Feng Lingxue still hadn’t fallen asleep. She wore a nightgown and was hugging her knees while sitting on the cold wooden bed. There was a window in the room, the moonlight spilling inside and landing on her beautiful face.
As she lowered her head, her eyes were riveted on the small stone in her hands. Caressing the small stone with her fingertips gently, her eyes reddened and tears welled up inside.
Some engine sounds were outside and the door was pulled open hurriedly. A maid’s voice was heard. “Young Master.”
Feng Lingxue was stunned. He was back?
He came back late at night again.
She heard some heavy footsteps up the staircase, slowly approaching her room. Her heart thumped, quickly lifting her head to look in the direction of the room door.
The next moment, her room door was kicked open with a loud bang. A gust of cold wind rushed in, an imposing figure appeared.
It was Xuan Ying.
