Qin Huai spoke seriously, and the young woman could not tell for a moment if he was serious or not.
He’d found himself a wife?
Was this something a seven-year-old youth could say?
“Marriage is a grand affair, and the parents are the only ones who can make the decision. Have you forgotten your identity?” The young woman narrowed her eyes, and her already solemn expression became even more dignified.
However, Qin Huai was calm and fearless. Facing her scrutinizing gaze, he smiled self-deprecatingly.
“What identity do I have?”
“The illegitimate son of the Madam? An invalid who won’t live long? Or… a dog that you can order around at your will?”
“Qin Huai, how dare you!”
The young woman was furious. She stood up and waved her arm-
Pa! A slap landed on Qin Huai’s face.
Qin Huai was not as tall as her to begin with. He immediately tilted his head and took two steps back.
He had already begun to practice martial arts, and his lower body was originally quite stable.
It could be seen that the young woman had put a lot of strength behind that slap.
Chi Jia panicked. “Madam!”
“Back off!” The young woman did not even look at Chi Jia.
However, Chi Jia stood in front of the young woman and did not move.
The young woman sneered. “Are you tired of living?”
“Madam, please calm down. This servant is willing to die to atone for my insolence.” Chi Jia was neither servile nor overbearing, as if he was saying something unimportant.
“Alright, then you-”
Qin Huai grabbed Chi Jia’s arm and gently pushed him away. His dark eyes were bottomless. Even when he looked up at the woman in front of him, he was fearless. “How dare you.”
“What gives you the right to talk to me like that?” the young woman said. “Do you really think-”
But she couldn’t continue.
Because Qin Huai took out a dagger and slashed his arm without thinking.
Blood dripped to the ground.
The young woman’s pupils shrank.
When Chi Jia heard the commotion, he turned around and was so frightened that he wanted to snatch the dagger. “Young Master!”
He did not dare to use too much strength, afraid that he would agitate Qin Huai.
Qin Huai dodged Chi Jia, raised the dagger, and slashed again. Then, he placed the dagger on his neck.
With a press, a line of blood appeared on his neck.
The young woman gritted her teeth and said, “Qin… Huai.”
“I’m someone who should have died long ago.” Qin Huai’s injured arm felt cold and even trembled unconsciously, but his voice was still very calm. “This cheap life of mine… If you like to control it, I’ll return it to you.”
Chi Jia did not dare to snatch the dagger anymore. A serious man like him was so anxious that tears flowed down his face. “Young Master, don’t be rash. Let’s talk things out.”
He turned around and knelt heavily towards the young woman. He choked and said, “Madam, please-”
The stubbornness that the Young Master had painstakingly cured was acting up again, and it was even worse than before.
In the past, he only hurt people, but now, he hurt himself.
“Very good, Qin Huai. You’re very good.” The young woman kicked Chi Jia. “The dog I raised has finally become your loyal dog! Fine, I won’t kill him.”
Qin Huai was unmoved. “I have a wife.”
The meaning was self-evident.
“Don’t push your luck!”
Qin Huai pressed the dagger in again, and the dagger that cut through iron like mud was embedded in his flesh.
Chi Jia’s heart ached and he was terrified when he saw this. He could only shout, “Madam!”
“Alright, you chose this yourself. Don’t regret it.” After saying this, the young woman flicked her sleeves and left, no longer caring about Qin Huai’s life or death.
When the young woman left, Qin Huai’s body was already dripping with blood.
Having lost a lot of blood, he felt cold all over.
Almost as soon as the woman stepped out of the door, his grip loosened and he collapsed.
Chi Jia hurriedly caught his thin body, but he only said, “The bottle.”
Qin Huai fainted.
“Young Master!”
The young woman stopped outside the door and said to the pale maid beside her, “Call the Imperial Physician, as soon as possible.”
The maidservant hurriedly bowed and immediately used her movement technique to fly out of the Duke Yong Manor’s courtyard wall.
The secret guard guarding the Duke’s Estate was about to stop her when he was patted on the shoulder. He turned around and saw a guard with the surname Chi.
“Brother, do me a favor.”
