358 Qin Huai’s Childhood
The Madam looked at Qin Huai with an especially complicated gaze, even in a daze.
Was it a good or bad thing to insist on bringing him to this world?
Qin Huai was a child who had grown up under all kinds of malice.
It was even to the extent that he had suffered assassination attempts since he was born.
His body was very weak because the Madam had been poisoned before he was born.
Everyone advised her to not give birth to this child because she might die trying to give birth to him.
However, in the end, she still decided to give birth to Qin Huai. After he was born, he was thin and small and had to be nourished with expensive medicine.
It lasted for six years.
He was very smart. At the age of two, the other children were still running around in a daze.
However, he could purse his pale lips and speak while holding Duke Yong’s hand, “Grandpa, bring Huai’er to the border.”
In the next two years, although it was arduous, he had still avoided many open and hidden attacks in the military camp.
When he returned, he was still weak, but his eyes were filled with determination.
The Madam also officially handed over the Crimson Guards to him.
However, it was precisely because he had returned that many factions moved when they heard the news.
Qin Huai had suffered many assassination attempts. Madam knew, but she did not block all of them for him.
That was the path he had to take.
But unknowingly, she realized that the child’s eyes had become much colder.
Because he had killed too many assassins, he no longer had any sympathy.
The order given was usually one word: “Kill.”
He would not show any mercy.
Qin Huai did not have any friends in Wanning City, not because everyone looked down on his identity.
It was because back then, the Duchess had brought Qin Huai to the banquet.
Along the way, they encountered a few troublemakers. Qin Huai directly asked Chi Jia to kill them on the spot.
Blood splattered on the faces of many of the Young Masters and Young Ladies at that time, scaring them so much that they cried and trembled.
Everyone pointed at Qin Huai and shouted, “He’s a demon!”
Someone even threw a cup at him and told him to get out.
The children were really frightened.
Qin Huai stood there with a wooden face. He was neither sad nor happy. He even looked up and asked the adults who had rushed over, “They’re noisy. Can I kill them?”
The expressions of the adults also changed.
His nickname ‘little demon’ also spread from that time.
Later on, Qin Huai’s health became worse and worse. He could not even leave the Duke’s Estate, so he was unwilling to go out.
Until the divine doctor asserted that he only had three months left.
Qin Huai found Madam and said to her, “I’ll decide what I want to do with the remainder of my life.”
He wanted to choose to end this boring life in his own way.
He did not probe further. Which family was the Madam from, and whose child was he?
He had attended several banquets but could not find the truth he wanted.
Because the Madam was obstructing his investigations.
But now, she was willing to open the door to the truth and let him walk in.
Qin Huai did not feel grateful.
“It’s not important anymore,” Qin Huai said.
He was not as obsessed with knowing about his father, who had not appeared for seven years.
“When you celebrate your eighth birthday this year, the Duke’s Estate will hold a big event for you,” Madam said.
However, she still would not attend.
Qin Huai had never seen her at all the banquets.
It was as if she was living in a darker corner than him.
Qin Huai remained silent.
The Madam asked again, “Do you have anyone you want to invite? It’s not too late to invite that little girl called Ah Yu now.”
Qin Huai suddenly looked at her and paused for a moment. The words he forced out were clearly filled with anger. “If you dare to touch her, I won’t let you off!”
The young man did not sound polite at all.
After Qin Huai left, the Madam’s face was hidden in the darkness and she was speechless for a long time.
“Your Highness…” Hua Hong looked at her worriedly. “The Young Master didn’t mean it.”
The Madam rubbed her forehead. “Yes, I know. When we’re outside, call me Madam.”
“Yes.”
