Chapter 2244

2244 Second Qin’s Wrath
The Divine Province.
A long meandering corridor connected to the Qin Estate’s Xiangxin Lake. The glazed tiles on the roof of the long corridor sparkled with different colors in the sunlight.
When looking out the small windows lined along the corridor, it was like each of them showed different scenery.
There were solitary branches that peeked out from the eaves, and lichen-covered stone walls laden with snow.
!!
The pavilions and parlors formed multiple groups in this flowing scene. At a glance, they were all situated in picturesque disorder.
A woman was holding an exquisite red cypress tray with a smile. She crossed through that dazzling corridor with light footsteps into the Huizhi Gazebo in the center of the Xiangxin Lake.
She wore a pinkish silver upper garment that accentuated her waist, paired with a sheer magenta skirt. Her waist ribbon of the same color scheme was fastened to a jade gourd bell. The sound of tinkling bells could be heard in the wind as she walked.
The pearl hairpins in her hair shook, complementing the other jade and pearl accessories she was wearing.
The most eye-catching piece was a five-fortune ruyi hairpin that gave off a dazzling luster in the sunlight.
Shi Yongqian deliberately slowed her footsteps when she entered Huizhi Gazebo. The smile on her lips also gradually deepened as her pretty eyes landed on the young man in the gazebo. She took a deep breath and walked over with two maidservants.
Inside the Huizhi Gazebo.
A tall man in purple was sitting against one of the pillars. A book lay open on his lap as he propped his elbow on the curved banister to support his forehead. His other arm hung leisurely by his side.
This man’s brows were still furrowed even while asleep.
Shi Yongqian walked over with small steps. She reached over and was about to massage away the sorrow between his brows.
Yet the man had already opened his eyes with a flash. A dark green glint flitted through his eyes as he looked coldly at her.
“Ah!” Shi Yongqian’s hands shook, and the tray she was holding dropped to the floor. The white jade porcelain cup on it shattered into pieces.
“Ah, my lady!” The two maidservants hastily ran up and supported Shi Yongqian, who was toppling backwards.
The man sheathed his dagger and placed it back into his wide sleeve.
His abnormally frigid eyes glanced at Shi Yongqian without a hint of warmth. Impatience showed through his brows.
“Huang Chong.” He spoke coldly.
A black figure instantly landed next to him and kneeled on one knee. “Huang Chong is here.”
“Go and kill those traitorious things outside.” The man spoke coldly, “Don’t let me see them again in the future.”
“Yes!”
The wails of several men and women were soon heard outside the Huizhi Gazebo. Someone dropped to his knees and kept shouting “Spare our lives, Young Sir.”
“Ah—” With the sounds of several screams, the energy from the blades disappeared into the air.
Afterwards, the noisy commotion outside was no more.
Shi Yongqian bit her lip and shook all over. “You, you?”
“Second Young Sir, you are being too unreasonable!” One of the maidservants couldn’t resist chastising, “Her ladyship came to give you lotus seed custard with good intentions. It, it’s fine if you do not appreciate the gesture, b-but how can you humiliate her ladyship like this! You, you!!”
Shi Yongqian covered her face and sobbed, “Ah-Xin, what happened to you? Ever since you came back six months ago, the, the way you treat me is just…”
Second Young Sir Qin’s whole body shook.
