Chapter 42 - 42. Abnormality...

Believe it or not, these few present happen to be in the selected few of those best of the best.

This was their first time meeting a direct Qin and no matter how much you trained yourself to keep a straight face in presence of them, envisioning it and facing the real deal was like the difference between heaven and hell, that too, when the people concerned have such heavy and strong aura, as if, their existence was an abnormality, that is they didn't belong to this plane.

What these few know of them was of course what they could collect from the news, which was very few, to begin with, except for their accomplishments and the large projects they signed that was made public nothing else could be found...so, most of the 'information' of course came from the 'rumors'.[I think I'm in love with this word...LOL]

But rumors should never be believed without a proper background check on the source.....just like now.

The rumored demon turned out to be a cold and imperial Adonis, while the rumored scheming and retaliating princess turned out to be an ice-beauty of an empress, who by the way had her eyes only for him. Yup, they 'noticed' and believed that she didn't take a single glance at them from the beginning, that is, at least one rumor was correct that she was too conceited and didn't put anyone in her eyes except for those with power. They felt sour, it didn't feel good to be belittled now, did it?

Anyway, the rumored strained relationship felt like a joke considering the air of familiarity and dependence between the two.

Though it was unprofessional to ask such a question, the young doctor, couldn't help but ask why such a thing happened when they did nothing.

He wanted to ask if it was true that the young master was really whimsical or, had such sudden mood swings without reason but he coated the words differently.

He was not the only one though, the other two also seemed interested, even the silent guy who appeared indifferent had his ears glued on the matter, it seems he was just too good at hiding his emotions or had facial paralysis but still had the same curiosity as the average man about these heirs of Qin.

The old Doc, who was questioned just calmly took a sip and opened, "It's none of your concern."

This time it was the girl, "But-"

The old man sternly said, "No buts. We're paid to treat them not to gossip about them, though I doubt you will be given a second chance after this, still, for your future, do remember to never get in the bad side of the Young Miss"

Finally, the silent man spoke, "Not the young master but the young miss?"

He was a rational man.

He came here only for business, so he had tried to appear nonchalant even when put on pressure to such an extent and he was sure that he had done a good job at it but he definitely thought that the one with power was the man, the young miss seemed passive at most, yes, he was surprised at her cold voice but from his point of view she was nowhere near the young master.

The other two were also curious about this and almost at the same time blurted out, "What is their relationship?"

The old man knew that he had to say something to make them stop asking too much so, he shook his head and said after sighing, "They are the next generation of Qin and the pillars who will take it to its pinnacle, their relationship is confidential and no one needs to know about it. Remember, that in this line of business, 'Curiosity will most definitely kill the cat!' and as for your question," he glanced at the young nurse, " yes, beware of the young miss. She appears to be passive but get on her bad side and you'll prefer living in hell than here, I've warned you. In this family, you don't want to get into the bad side of even the housekeeper of the family because everyone has some connections and you don't want to offend anyone of them....."he trailed off as he thought of one fateful night and with a severe voice continued, "but the worst nightmare is the young miss herself, I won't say anything else but make sure that you don't take any rumors with a cents value, they are baseless and worthless. She is nothing like that but what she 'can' do is something you don't want to see."

After speaking that he went to enjoy that juice again.

The three of them wanted to ask many questions but when they thought about it, getting on the bad side of someone with that kind of household behind her, didn't seem the risk worth taking and it was just curiosity on their part, they can suppress it to safeguard this job ba.

Somehow convinced they didn't ask further and also decided to relax well, in actuality, though they didn't understand much and nothing was certain still they saw with their own eyes that Qin ZiXuan calmed only when she called for him, even if they ignored the words of the old man about her having the real power still, it was a fact that she was close to him and the rumors were definitely not believable, so, it was best to just do what they came here for.

Each with their own thoughts, sat in the living room waiting for them both.

Watching the closed doors, the old man went to deep brooding, 'Still water runs deep. Even the patriarch treats her cautiously. Not many know this but her bottom line, which just happens to be the 'young master' should never be breached, the assassin incident from five years ago was an example for it. Though the master never says anything, it was not a surprise that after that incident she took over all the matter of the family, the master is now the face of the family as the patriarch, while she does the background cleanups. Very few know this but it is her who holds the absolute power in the family.

The young master holds the Qin Empire while she has absolute control over the Qins daily lives. They both are mysterious but on a good day the young master might pardon your small mistakes but she expects perfection, a single mistake and before you know it, you'll be thrown out of the empire or even the country. She is definitely not a fallen empress. The master is trying to conceal her presence for some reason but it won't be much longer before she spreads her wings, the both of them will be the ones to create a new era for the Qins.'

He sighed softly, 'A storm is coming.'
