Chapter 49 Got Slapped
The sound of kicking the door was deafening.
Lu Yu was conflicted and didn't dare to step forward to mediate.
Inside the main house, Song Lingyi used all her strength to press her back against the door.
I don't know if the wooden door is strong enough, I hope it gets kicked by a pretty boy. It would be so insecure to sleep without a door at night.
The sound of kicking the door continued for a long time, and then suddenly stopped.
“……?” Song Lingyi frowned.
He slowly turned around and peeked out through the crack in the door.
There was no one in the corridor.
Could it be that the pretty boy was tired of kicking her and was planning to let her go?
Just as Song Lingyi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to drink some tea to calm her nerves, she heard a noise coming from the carved window behind the couch. She tilted her head and looked -
The pretty boy actually climbed in through the window!
His movements were swift and decisive, and his soaked brocade robe left a large stain on the couch.
But this is no longer the point. The young man who was rushing towards her had dark and vicious eyes, as if he wanted to eat someone.
“…”My life is in danger!
Song Lingyi's heart was filled with alarm.
The main house is so small that there is nowhere to escape. Seeing the boy getting closer and closer, the girl immediately activated her ancestral skills.
Raise your hands in surrender.
"Cousin, I was wrong!" the girl shouted.
But Lu Qian wasn't the type to just admit his mistake and get away with it. With a swipe of his long arm, he clamped the back of the girl's neck with brutal and rude force.
"Aren't you very arrogant? Why apologize? Just keep laughing!" Lu Qian gritted his teeth.
Song Lingyi was forced to look up at him.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and her bright black eyes were filled with timidity.
The girl was born with the appearance of a little white flower. As long as she didn't show off deliberately and was a little quiet, she would appear very weak and pitiful.
But Lu Qian knew in his heart that although the damn girl was begging for mercy, she was always thinking of showing her fangs and biting him back.
Song Lingyi gently tugged at the corner of Lu Qian's clothes and begged for mercy weakly.
"Cousin, I was wrong. I will never tease you again." No way.
The sudden and coquettish behavior made Lu Qian's mouth twitch, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Take your claws away."
“…”
Song Lingyi hesitated for a moment and let go of the corner of his clothes.
The people outside the main house didn't know what was going on inside and were worried that the young master would bully the cousin, so they ran to the door to stop the fight.
Lu Yu banged on the door with all her might, saying, "Lu Qian! If you dare to bully my cousin, I'll tell my father and let him teach you a lesson!"
"If you scream again, I'll deal with you too!" The young man's low and vicious voice came through the crack in the door.
The knocking on the door suddenly stopped, and there was dead silence outside.
The force of the shackles on the back of her neck increased, and feeling the boy's cold and mocking gaze, Song Lingyi's breathing paused slightly.
"Silly girl, let's settle all the old and new grudges together."
"Tell me, do you want to gouge out your eyes first, or cut off your hands first?"
Those bright eyes glared at her, their dark and bright eyes full of cynical mockery.
Song Lingyi's heart sank.
"Can I please not..."
Lu Qian lowered his eyes to look at her, curled his lips, and smiled with his face but not his heart.
"What do you think?"
“…”It probably won’t work.
The atmosphere was tense.
The door behind him made a loud bang, and sunlight instantly filled the room.
Before Song Lingyi could turn around and see what was going on, she was pushed into Lu Qian's arms by Lu Yu and the maids who broke in through the door.
The defenseless Lu Qian fell backwards again.
“Hmm—”
After a dizzying moment, I heard the boy's muffled groan.
The surroundings seemed to be still for a few seconds. Song Lingyi slowly opened her eyes and met that dark and oppressive gaze.
Lu Yu and the maids looked at the two people lying on the ground and gasped. It was not until Lu Qian glared at them that they realized they had caused trouble and immediately fled.
Silence swept the room.
A faint floral scent invaded his nostrils, and Lu Qian's handsome face froze, his breathing pausing for a moment, though his expression remained unnoticed. His dark, obscure, auspicious phoenix eyes stared at the girl, and he asked coldly, "Have you suppressed enough?"
"..." Song Lingyi blinked very slowly.
After coming to his senses, he hurriedly got up.
Not caring that her brocade flowing cloud skirt was wet and dirty, she reached out to Lu Qian, pretending to pull him up.
The girl's hands were white and slender, and the faint fragrance of flowers seemed to have not yet dissipated.
Lu Qian's eyes darkened, he slapped her hand away and stood up.
"My dress is dirty, please get out." Song Lingyi's tone was natural, but she felt very embarrassed in her heart.
After a moment, Lu Qian suddenly laughed.
"Silly girl, do you think we can just settle our accounts like this?"
Song Lingyi caught a glimpse of someone peeking at her from the corridor, and she felt inexplicably tougher.
"What account? Did I just push——"
Before he could finish his words, Lu Qian glared at him and he was speechless. Sixteen or seventeen years old is the age when people care about their reputation. Moreover, he has been domineering for many years. How could he allow others to know his embarrassing things?
Lu Qian gritted his teeth, his expression becoming even more sinister.
The next moment, the sudden feeling of being suspended in mid-air made Song Lingyi jump with fear and scream out in surprise.
Everything in sight was turned upside down.
"cousin!"
Lu Yu almost dropped her jaw in shock as she watched her brother carry her cousin on his shoulders and stride out of the yard.
"Little white face, what are you doing!"
"Put me down now!"
"Cousin, I admit my mistake, please forgive me..."
If Song Lingyi relied on her grandmother's support and didn't believe Lu Qian would dare to cut off her hands and feet before, then now she was really panicked.
Lu Qian's eyes were filled with evil as he carried the girl on his shoulders and walked towards the pond without saying a word. Many people in the mansion saw him, but no one dared to intervene. No matter how the girl on his shoulders struggled, she couldn't move him at all.
Song Lingyi's head was filled with blood and she slowly stopped struggling.
Soon, I stepped onto the familiar nine-turn corridor, and the young man's low and harsh voice rang in my ears.
"You silly girl, aren't you smiling so happily? I'm going to throw you into the pond and see if you're still happy."
As he spoke, Lu Qian was already standing by the railing.
"Lu Qian!"
A woman in gorgeous clothes, surrounded by a group of servants, came quickly, her expression furious. She shouted, "What are you doing?! Put Lingyi down immediately!"
Reinforcements are coming!
Song Lingyi slowly raised her head and cried out with a sad face, "Aunt, please save me! My cousin is going to throw me into the pond."
The young man's eyes turned cold, and a murderous aura rose from his body.
"You little bastard, put him down now!"
Wang's tone became noticeably heavier, and her hands holding the handkerchief began to tremble.
After two breaths of silence, Lu Qian put the person on his shoulder to the ground with the tip of his tongue against his cheek.
Song Lingyi felt dizzy, but fortunately Hongqiu supported her in time so that she did not stumble and fall.
Snap——
The crisp sound of slaps echoed throughout the corridor.
The surroundings fell into deathly silence, and the atmosphere was heavy and depressing.
Lu Qian tilted his face, a trace of surprise and sadness flashing across his dark, cold eyes. In his entire life, no matter what mistakes he made, his mother had never beaten him in front of so many people.
Seeing the red marks on the boy's face, Song Lingyi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a few traces of guilt passed through her.
