Chapter 150 - Finally You are Back

Su Liancheng stayed in Prince Eighth’s manor for fear that his father would find him and lock him in their manor. He showed his Brother Eighth excessive attention for he had noticed how livid his Brother Eighth looked.

Su Liancheng served Murong Yun a cup of tea and asked, “Brother Eighth, where is my sister-in-law? She usually comes back to your manor for dinner before she goes back to Prime Minister Manor, where is she today?”

Silence.

It still didn’t occur to Su Liancheng that this gloomy atmosphere might concerned Luo Qianqian, “Brother Eighth, this tea is so good, try it.”

Murong Yun took the tea cup with a brooding look.

Su Liancheng asked again, “Is my sister-in-law not coming today? Why?”

Silence.

Murong Yun shattered the cup with his bare hand.

Pitter-patter.

Blood dropped on the ground from Murong Yun’s palm.

Su Liancheng was startled, “Geez, what are you doing, Brother Eighth? Let me see your hand… …”

“I want to be alone.” Murong Yun replied with indifference.

“Let me check your wound first, all right?” Su Liancheng found the medicine chest and muttered, “What is going on? You two had a row? But why? Wait, has my sister-in-law fallen in love with someone else?”

That seemed to be the only explanation now, no way would a teacup do any harm to Murong Yun unless… unless he did it on purpose.

“Get out!” Murong Yun said in a huff.

“Brother Eighth, but your wound… …”

Murong Yun shut the door upon Su Liancheng’s face.

Su Liancheng was thrown out like some scrap, he picked himself up and straightened his clothes, “Brother Eighth, I know you want to be alone at the moment. But please take care of your wound first. I noticed it’s your right hand, as a martial arts cultivator, I’m sure you know how important your right hand is.”

Su Liancheng was so curious to find out what his sister-in-law had done.

Silence.

Su Liancheng scratched his ears and cheeks in anxiety, ‘I need to bring my sister-in-law here as soon as possible, they need to work it out. Brother Eighth listens to no one but her!’

“That’s right, I need to find her and bring her here as soon as possible!” with that in  mind, Su Liancheng walked to the gate, but he looked around and retreated.

“On a second thought, this is their business, I’m sure the love birds will figure out a way to make up. I’m in no position to meddle, yeah, that’s right.” Su Liancheng muttered.

Well, the truth was he dared not to walk out of the manor for fear of his father and his father’s shadow guards all over the capital city, he didn’t want to accept an arranged marriage.

“Well, I’m sure my sister-in-law will be back soon, she doesn’t have the heart to leave Brother Eighth alone, they love each other so much. And the loss will outweight the gain if my father’s shadow guards find me.”

To return to Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian and Yue Qiqi had a fierce competition. Yue Qiqi indeed had better horsemanship, but she abused her horse and exhausted her horse early in the game, thus the horse lost momentum when Luo Qianqian’s horse sped up. As a result, Luo Qianqian won.

Yue Qiqi couldn’t believe she had lost again, “I don’t accept this! This is a fluke, let’s race again!”

“Miss Yue, it’s getting dark.” Luo Qianqian countered.

Xiaohong buried its face in the grass and gorged itself on the grass.

“So what? I’m not afraid of dark.” Yue Qiqi refused to take no for an answer.

“True, neither of us is afraid of dark. But are you sure you haven’t overworked your horse? Do you want to walk home later?” Luo Qianqian asked.

Yue Qiqi was choked.

She stamped her foot with frustration, “I’m a woman of my word, don’t worry, I will ask my father to help you.”

“Thanks.” Luo Qianqianmuonted her horse, she looked so absent-minded, she just wanted to go back to Murong Yun’s and cleat the misunderstanding.

Yue Qiqi blocked Luo Qianqian, “Wait.”

“How can I help you?” Luo Qianqian asked.

“I know you win again, but I’m not sincerely convinced, we will race again someday in the near future, are you courageous enough to accept the challenge?”

Luo Qianqian was in a hurry to leave, she knew Yue Qiqi would keep pestering her unless she said yes, “Okay. Let’s have a race in the future. I’m in a hurry now, excuse me.”

With that Luo Qianqian patted Xiaohong and made her way to Murong Yun’s manor.

The manor was ablaze with lights when Luo Qianqian returned, ‘it was really late now’, sighed Luo Qianqian.

“Your Highness.” the doormen bowed to Luo Qianqian.

“No need to stand on ceremony.” Luo Qianqian dismounted the horse.

“Allow me to take Xiaohong to the stable.” replied a doorman.

“Is Prince Eighth back?”

“Yes, Your Highness. Prince Eighth has been in his room since the afternoon.”

“All right.” Luo Qianqian replied and strode to Murong Yun’s room.

‘Murong Yun, you are indeed a feisty one, aren’t you?’

Su Liancheng blocked Luo Qianqian’s way when Luo Qianqian arrived at the backyard.

Luo Qianqian was startled, she thought Su Liancheng was some assassin so she kicked Su Liancheng in his private part.

Luckily, Su Liancheng avoided that deadly kick in time.

‘Why am I always the unlucky one? It was my Brother Eighth in the afternoon, and now my sister-in-law is kicking me!’

“It’s me, sister-in-law!” Su Liancheng shouted.

Luo Qianqian withdrew her leg and took a step back, she said apologetically, “Are you all right, Su Liancheng?”

Su Liancheng rubbed his thigh, “Yeah, I’m okay. It was so close though.”

‘Good, you are in the mood of joking, so you are fine.’

“Sister-in-law, finally you are back, go talk to my Brother Eighth, he has been torturing himself!” Su Liancheng talked to Luo Qianqian like a lost puppy finally had found his owner.
