Chapter 857: Come With Me!
Locked out of the room, Wang Xixuan was obviously frustrated, but he went on to reason with his sister. He said to her, gently, “Yun Er, not everything can be done. You should know this. Why do you insist on that which cannot be forced? There are plenty of fish in the sea, why do you have to stick with this one?”
“I want him and only him, the rest are useless to me! Enough talk, I don’t want to listen to the likes of you!” said the bullheaded girl.
“Yun Er…” He wanted to continue, but was rudely interrupted by his sister’s shouting.
“I don’t want to listen to you! I’m not listening! Not listening! Not listening!”
“Alright, alright. I won’t talk about it. Don’t get so worked up,” Wang Xixuan reluctantly compromised. “Just calm down now.”
He worried that Wang Xiangyun would do something regrettable in her emotional state. Mingyun Building was about six stories high, after all.
It was then that Little Tian arrived with a bowl of glutinous porridge.
She did not have to guess why the young master had been chased out of the room. She had been in his shoes for quite a while now.
Wang Xixuan turned around when he heard footsteps. He faced Little Tian with a look of irritation. He wanted to know everything that had happened, and he wanted Little Tian to tell him the truth!
Little Tian frowned. Just looking at the young master’s eyes, she understood.
“Master, what about this porridge?” She knew, and yet she changed the topic.
Even Little Tian, who was about the same height as his sister, seemed to have gotten thinner in the time they were away. Wang Xixuan simply said, “Come with me!”
Judging by their current situation, his sister would likely not open the door for porridge!
Little Tian, a clever girl, was indeed reluctant to go, but she braced herself and obeyed.
After all, he was the master and she was the servant.
Wang Xixuan led her down from the highest level to a room on the fourth floor. Then he confronted the servant who had her head hanging low. He got straight to the point. “What happened to my sister out there? Tell me everything. And I mean it. Don’t keep any secrets from me! Otherwise, I’ll find someone else to serve Yun Er!”
Little Tian could tell it was a direct threat. She knew that much.
But she hesitated. To tell or not to tell?
She struggled with her internal conflict!
Wang Xixuan bellowed in a rage, “Tell me now!”
The sudden roar frightened Little Tian so much she trembled, but she did not speak.
She did not dare to, for she worried Wang Xiangyun would take her own life if she found out. She had made a promise to Wang Xiangyun not to tell anyone, so how could she go back on her word?
A moment passed before Little Tian spoke, but what she said was aggravating.
“Master, please don’t put me in such a difficult position. I promised the lady not to tell anyone!”
Hah, what a loyal subject!
Wang Xixuan’s brows furrowed so much they could trap mosquitoes. He could barely contain his fury.
What he heard was further confirmation that Wang Xiangyun must have been through something unfortunate!
So much so that she ordered her servant to keep it a secret.
“Yun Er ordered you not to say anything, and you obeyed her. Now I’m ordering you to tell me, so you have to! It is your duty to obey orders, so tell me now!”
Wang Xixuan got so mad his veins became visible, and he looked ready to punch someone in the face the next moment.
Little Tian found herself positioned between a rock and a hard place. They were both her masters, and she was trapped in the middle.
She also knew the young master only did so because he cared about the lady. Should she or should she not tell him?
Another moment passed. Little Tian spoke. “M-Miss Wang desired Master Dongfang, so she drugged him.”
