Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Madam of the castle, Ling Yingxue, walked up to Yu Wuxia. Her eyes instantly brimmed with tears, as she cried “Wuxia” with overflowing affection in her voice.
Wuxia looked at the trembling Chu Qingchuan in his arms and coldly glared at Ling Yingxue. Then, with an ice-cold tone of voice, he said, “Slap yourself twenty times.”
Ling Yingxue was instantly dumbfounded and her whole body froze. “Wuxia, wh… what did you say?”
Yu Wuxia looked at Ling Yingxue without the slightest bit of mercy and coldly cried, “Guiyi, Guier.”
Guiyi promptly walked up to Ling Yingxue who was evading him and held her still, whilst Guier slapped her twenty times left and right.
Chu Qingchuan’s eyes instantly widened, as she watched Ling Yingxue get slapped. Master was truly ruthless towards the Madam! She had thought that he would definitely stand on the Madam’s side.
Soon enough, the twenty slaps were over. Ling Yingxue’s tall topknot fell, her swollen face shone red, and her tears had soaked her face.
Guiyi and Guier retreated behind Yu Wuxia.
Ling Yingxue covered her swollen, stinging face with both hands and howled, “Wuxia, the first thing you say and do to me in three years is slap me? Wahh wahh… Wuxia, you’re so brutal!”
Yu Wuxia seemed unmoved in the slightest. “Ling Yingxue, quit acting. I know just how evil you are. I advise you to exercise some restraint. Otherwise, I don’t mind making your life a living hell,” he said coldly.
Ling Yingxue’s tears rolled endlessly down her face, as she wept. “Wuxia, you weren’t like this three years ago. Three years ago, you were infatuated with me! Even if I wanted the moon from the sky, you would think of a way to get it for me. But since your little brother passed away, your attitude towards me changed. Why? Tell me why! Wahh wahh…”
A thought came to Yu Wuxia and he clenched his fists menacingly. “Guiyi, Guier, lock Ling Yingxue in the ancestral hall. Don’t let her ever take another step outside,” he cried coldly.
He contemplated something for a moment, then said, “I’ve decided to promote Concubine Ninety-Nine to the Madam of the castle.”
As soon as those words escaped, everyone was left stunned.
Chu Qingchuan wanted to say something but she realized that her heart raced so fast from the shock that it was about to leap out. The change of events had truly come too unexpectedly. Was she really the Madam now? She wasn’t hearing things?
Ling Yingxue heard Yu Wuxia’s orders and suddenly forgot that she was crying from shock. She looked at Yu Wuxia with red eyes and said, “W… Wuxia, you…”
Ling Yingxue only snapped to reality when she saw Guiyi and Guier walk up to her, then immediately fell to the floor. “Wuxia, are you really going to lock me up in the ancestral hall? Why? Tell me why? Just what did I do wrong to have you treat me like this? Wahhh wahhh…” She wailed.
Yu Wuxia glanced coldly at Ling Yingxue with Chu Qingchuan still in his embrace, then turned and walked off.
“Wuxia, don’t go. Don’t you love me anymore? Don’t you care about me at all? Wuxia, wahh wahhh…” Ling Yingxue wailed so hard, she was going to faint.
When the silhouette of Yu Wuxia completely disappeared from the passageway, Ling Yingxue finally fainted.
Guiyi and Guier escorted a fainted Ling Yingxue to the ancestral hall.
Meanwhile, Chu Qingchuan leaned against Yu Wuxia’s chest, as she walked with an incredibly tense body. She still couldn’t calm down. She had become the Madam of the castle?
Them, did that mean she could run away?
Chu Qingchuan’s shock instantly turned into joy when she thought about how she could run away. Great! I can finally run away!
Her luck couldn’t be any better. Why not just run away tonight?
