Fierce Consort with Tyrant’s Lavish Love - C99
Outside the side palace hall, two figures stood in the shadows.
These two people were none other than Hua An Jiu and Old Lady Hua.
Xiao Yan’s gaze instead drifted toward the back of the figure that was swiftly fleeing from the side hall. A mocking smile was revealed within his eyes.
Old granny Hua came to find Hua Zhan Yuan for a reason tonight, but seeing the scene just now, she didn’t want to go in.
Shaking her head, she turned around and looked at Hua An Jiu.
“He was right.”
Old granny Hua slowly said this, as her meaningful gaze landed on Hua An Jiu. She let out a long sigh, slowed her breathing, and said, “Our Washington cannot interfere in this matter.”
“Yes, Mother.”
The light in Hua An Jiu’s eyes dimmed as he nodded and replied.
Without another word, the two of them turned and left the side hall.
Deep into the night, only after Hua An Jiu sent Old Granny Hua to her room to rest did he turn around and return to his own courtyard.
Then, before he even entered his own courtyard, he noticed the figure that had been waiting at the entrance of his own courtyard for a long time.
As soon as the figure saw him, it pounced in front of him.
“Lord Nine, Lord Nine, I beg of you, please save my brother, please save my brother, okay?” The black shadow was none other than Chen Xiang Yuan.
Chen Xiang Yuan had just left Hua Zhan Yuan’s side hall, and after thinking for a long time, she finally came to the conclusion that in the current Hua Family, Hua Zhan Yuan’s words were no longer effective. Now that Hua An Jiu had returned, he was the one who held the authority in the Hua Family.
Furthermore, Hua An Jiu would definitely not reject her, because —
“What are you doing?”
Being grabbed by Chen Xiang Yuan and reminded by the old lady by the side just now, Hua An Jiu was extremely impatient in his heart. He forcefully threw away Chen Xiang Yuan’s hand and looked at her, “Chen Xiang Yuan, Hua Zhan Yuan has already explained everything to you just now, the Hua Family will not come to this muddy water.”
“No, no, no, if the Hua Clan had not intervened, my little brother, my little brother would not have been saved! Ninth Elder, you wouldn’t be so heartless, even for Shen Er’s sake, you wouldn’t be so heartless, I beg you, I beg you, please save me!”
“Chen Xiang Yuan, shut up, what qualifications do you have to mention Shen Er!”
Hearing the few words that came from Chen Xiang Yuan’s mouth, Hua An Jiu’s eyes were already filled with hostility, he used an ice cold voice to interrupt Chen Xiang Yuan, “Back then, if it wasn’t for you, Shen Er and I would not have been separated. Chen Xiang Yuan, what qualifications do you have to beg me now!”
With that, he glared at Chen Xiang Yuan and turned to leave.
Shen Er and her daughter had always been the pain in his heart, but now that Chen Xiang Yuan had mentioned it, even if he could control her own emotions in front of others, at this moment, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pain.
“Ninth Elder, I am Shen Er’s big sister. If Shen Er knew that you were not saving her brother, she would not forgive you. She would not forgive you!” Chen Xiang Yuan roared, there was no brotherhood in her eyes, only unspeakable selfishness.
“Chen Xiang Yuan, what right do you have to say that you’re Shen Er’s big sister? You’re an ungrateful woman, back then Shen Er —”
“Shen Er didn’t die, Shen Er didn’t die, she was lying to you back then, Ninth Elder, you saved my brother, you saved my brother, I will tell you where Shen Er is, okay? “How about it?”
Chen Xiang Yuan quickly said these words as if she had grasped onto her lifesaving straw.
“What did you say?”
When Hua An Jiu heard this, he stopped in his tracks and walked to Chen Xiang Yuan’s side and asked coldly, “Are you saying that Shen Er …”
“Yes, Shen Er didn’t die. Back then, when I and my little brother, I was befuddled by money, someone paid for Shen Er’s life, I only … But who would have thought that Shen Er’s daughter, that lowly girl, would actually run away at such a crucial moment. I, I’ll chase after her, when I return, I’ll see Shen Er.
She didn’t like her from the start. Now that someone had paid for her life, Chen Xiang Yuan was naturally happy, he just didn’t expect that the two of them would be buried alive since she was his son. He just didn’t expect that at such a crucial moment, both of them would run away.
When Hua An Jiu asked later on, she could only lie and say that Shen Er took the child and left. On the way, he met a bandit and fell off a cliff.
All these years, this secret had been pressing down on her heart. If not for the fact that her brother was in trouble and needed Hua An Jiu’s help, she would not have revealed it to him.
“Chen Xiang Yuan, it’s really you guys, it’s really you guys!” When Hua An Jiu heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. His eyes turned red, “You and Chen Yi Nuo are truly heartless!”
“Ninth Elder, I am a cruel and unscrupulous person, I am not a human. I beg you, just give Shen Er face and save him. After you save him, I will tell you where Shen Er is, and I will —”
“Chen Xiang Yuan, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me!”
Hua An Jiu was furious in his heart, he wanted to reject, but before he could say anything, he realized that Chen Xiang Yuan’s weakness in her hands made him unable to refuse.
“I know where Shen Er is, and I also know where your child is. That is your biological daughter, not the imposter that you brought home today!”
Chen Xiang Yuan shrieked as she said those words. After she finished speaking, his previous pleading and fear had changed as she said, “Ninth Elder, you won’t reject me, right? I knew it, you wouldn’t reject me, you loved Shen Er so much, you — ”
“If you play any tricks with me, not only will Chen Yi Nuo die, you will also die too!”
After Hua An Jiu said this, he turned around and quickly walked back into his own courtyard.
When Chen Xiang Yuan saw Hua An Jiu’s action, she knew that Hua An Jiu had agreed to it. She couldn’t help but raise the corner of her mouth into a curve, as she raised her leg and quickly followed Hua An Jiu into the courtyard.
However, just as their silhouettes disappeared from the courtyard, a thin and small figure could be vaguely seen within the trees. It was trembling as if he was crying.
Inside the wing of the Jadeite Forest Restaurant, Shen Lv Yi stood by the window, and watched the scene in the distance with cold eyes.
The corner of his lips slowly curled up into an ice-cold hatred.
