Chapter 39: His return part 2
While they were on their way back, they encountered Long Xiao Yu, who they
hadn’t seen for a few days.
Currently, he was also walking towards them. He was wearing white robes which
floated in the wind. His dark, cold eyes were strategist, as if everything was in
his control. The first feeling he gave people was fear, and then they would
unknowingly surrender under his feet.
Uncle Fu was carefully following him. His head was lowered, and he seemed to be
saying something. Mu Zi Ling felt that something was wrong. Was Uncle Fu
exposing everything that she did?
When Mu Zi Ling and the other two saw Long Xiao Yu, they all stiffened on the
spot, not daring to keep walking. Long Xiao Yu then stopped in front of them.
The atmosphere was unnerving, and their surroundings were cold and terrifying.
Long Xiao Ze couldn’t stand it any longer and broke the silence first by saying,
“Third Brother, you’ve returned.”
Long Xiao Yu did not reply him, but instead glared at him. Then coldly, he said,
“All of you can leave.”
Once he opened his mouth, everyone around him couldn’t help but tremble. It
seemed like something big was about to happen. He did not say anyone
specifically, neither did he point to anyone specifically. However, everyone knew
who Long Xiao Yu was telling to leave.
Long Xiao Ze felt even more scared. Every time his Third Brother was like this, he
knew that his good days were over.
This time he was in trouble. However, in the past few days, he had been helping
his Third Sister in law obediently and didn’t do anything wrong.
Long Xiao Ze didn’t dare think anymore into it. Since Third Brother had already
said this, then he would just take the chance and run. Before he ran away though,
he didn’t forget to tap Xie’s shoulder and leave with her.
Xie looked at Mu Zi Ling with concern. She wanted to say something, but she
wasn't able to under such a high pressure. She could only leave resentfully with
Long Xiao Ze.
Mu Zi Ling looked as the two retreated, and her anger started to boil up.
Damn it, Long Xiao Ze! Last time when they were in front of Long Xiao Li, he was
still brave enough to protect her. Why did he run away now, the second Long Xiao
Yu started to speak? Long Xiao Ze ran away faster than a rabbit without any bits
of courage. Her heart felt touched for no reason last time.
Long Xiao Ze only coldly spoke to Mu Xi Ling once they had all left, “Mu Zi Ling,
did you forget your identity? This King wanted you to look through the accounting
books and stay indoors unless there is something important. Why are you out here
today?”
Mu Zi Ling had only just recovered to her senses from staring off in the direction
that Long Xiao Ze and Xie had ran off to. Her heart thumped a bit, and she quietly
murmured to herself. Uncle Fu really was complaining and exposing me just then.
However, Mu Zi Ling had really misunderstood Uncle Fu today. Uncle Fu was just
telling Long Xiao Ze about how good she was, being able to look through so many
account books in just one day. He also said that the way she labeled out the
mistakes was really clear, and saved people a lot of work. He did not say anything
about her leaving the manor.
Mu Zi Ling felt a bit uncomfortable once she heard Long Xiao Yu’s words. Was
Long Xiao Yu trying to say that she did not watch over the house, going outside
everyday with her title, and losing the Qi King’s Manor’s face?
“Your highness only said for this wife to stay in the manor if there was nothing to
do, but this wife had something to do. This wife has also finished looking through
all the accounting books and handed them to Uncle Fu. Uncle Fu has also looked
through them and checked them. This wife still has her own life, and her own
matters to take care of. Your highness can be rest assured. As long as this wife is
from the Qi King’s Manor, I would not let the manor’s reputation drop.”
Mu Zi Ling’s words were righteous, and her face was serious. She wasn’t
intimidated by Long Xiao Yu’s coldness at all.
Although she was still a bit afraid in her heart, her strong reasoning told her to not
surrender.
Although she wasn’t a woman from this time period, she was holding up the title of
Qi Princess, so she must get used to not leaving the manor, not doing anything,
and be raised by men.
She was open hearted and didn’t do anything that she should be guilty about.
Why should she feel scared?
Long Xiao Yu’s cold eyes stared at Mu Zi Ling, but they couldn’t find anything wrong.
Seeing that Long Xiao Yu’s expression did not change, Mu Zi Ling continued to
speak, “There were so many big things happening in the Royal Palace right now,
and this Qie does not have the ability to take up such an responsibility. I hope your
highness can find someone more suitable for these matters. Also the compensation
for the Fifth Prince does not have to be so much. This wife has already took eighty
thousand gold from the it. If your highness thought that this wife took too much from
\it, then this wife will repay the money.
After she finished talking, she took out a jade pendant from her sleeves, and handed
it to Long Xiao Yu. However, when she looked at Long Xiao Yu, his face was very
cold and terrifying.
She really didn’t want to feel scared, but she still subconsciously wanted to shrink
back. She could feel that the hands she had reached out, holding the keys and the
jade pendant, were now sweating.
Long Xiao Yu didn’t grab the keys nor the jade pendant, instead, he walked closer to
Mu Zi Ling step by step. With every step he took forward, she took a step backwards.
At this moment, Mu Zi Ling felt Long Xiao Yu omit a very dangerous aura. It was as
if he could swallow her whole.
Just as Mu Zi Ling’s foot hit the flower terrace, nearly making her fall backwards,
Long Xiao Yu pulled her towards him. He stretched out his long arms, and he locked
Mu Zi Ling tightly into his embrace.
He leaned on Mu Zi Ling and pressed close to her ears. He warm breath landed onto
her ears. There was an intense oppression, boiling hot atmosphere, and extreme
might.
His cold voice then said, “Mu Zi Ling, remember this. Ever since the day you married
this King, you were no longer you, and your way of life changed. This King does not
care if you don’t stop your matters, but everything that this King gives out, is never to
be returned back to me.”
Long Xiao Yu’s cold tone and aura was like a hot electric bolt, striking Mu Zi Ling’s
heart.
At this moment, how could she still be calm and have reasoning? Every since Long
Xiao Yu got close to her, she had already collapsed. What did Long Xiao Yu’s words
mean?
Just when Mu Zi Ling was recovering to her senses, and wanted to push Long Xiao
Ze away, he beat her to it and let go. Then he leaped into the air and flew away.
Mu Zi Ling looked into the distance where Long Xiao Yu disappeared off to for a while.
Why was it that every time she bumped into Long Xiao Yu, it was in this type of
circumstance? Couldn’t they just properly have a conversation for once? Why was
it that every time he treated her like that, her heart felt exceptionally unwell?
What did Long Xiao Yu’s words mean? Did he want her to be a puppet he could
control? Sorry, but she would not let people control her so easily!
