Chapter 37: Tit for tat

Tit for tat

In his entire life, no one had ever dared to speak to Yin Fengzhan like this! But at this moment, someone had, and that person was a woman, a woman whom Yin Fengzhan had originally hated to the extreme!

So, Yin Fengzhan was also furious. After saying this, he used force and pulled Nie Jinxuan back into his arms.

"Nie Jinxuan, you have such great courage to speak to me like this!"

"What else? How else do you want me to speak to you?!"

Pulled by Yin Fengzhan, Nie Jinxuan was startled for a moment, but immediately came to her senses. At the same time, she couldn't help but reach out and push the man in front of her hard.

But Nie Jinxuan was a woman after all. In terms of strength, how could she be Yin Fengzhan's match?! So, after pushing a few times with all her might, the other party remained unmoved.

"Yin Fengzhan, let go! Let me go!"

"Let go? Alright, unless you use your brain for once!"

"You're crazy!"

"It seems that besides using your brain, you also need to learn what rules are!"

Yin Fengzhan was also extremely angry. While speaking, he increased his strength, and instantly Nie Jinxuan felt as if her bones were about to be crushed by the man in front of her! But Nie Jinxuan was a person with a tough temper; even if she was in so much pain she could hardly breathe, she didn't beg Yin Fengzhan for mercy once.

The two stood at the door of the room where the corpse was kept, in a stalemate. Yin Fengzhan had a gloomy face, terrifyingly so. After a while, just as Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but want to say something again, the old steward Gu Hong ran over in a hurry.

"Your Highness, news has come from the palace that the Emperor has something to discuss with you..."

Actually, if he had a choice, Gu Hong wouldn't want to come over and cause trouble at this moment. After all, having been by Yin Fengzhan's side for so long, he had never seen his master so angry. So, Gu Hong was extra careful when speaking. Hearing this, Yin Fengzhan, who had been glaring fiercely at Nie Jinxuan, couldn't help but twitch his brows and raise his eyes.

"What is it?"

"Uh... this old servant does not know."

"En, I know!"

Pursing his lips slightly, Yin Fengzhan responded in a low voice. Perhaps because the news Gu Hong brought distracted Yin Fengzhan, during the time they were talking, Nie Jinxuan pushed hard and suddenly broke free from Yin Fengzhan's grip.

At this moment, having been broken free from by Nie Jinxuan inadvertently, Yin Fengzhan finally came to his senses. He looked up instantly, and his expression sank again.

"Nie Jinxuan!"

"Don't call me! I have nothing to say to you!"

Not wanting to waste another word on the man in front of her, after saying this, Nie Jinxuan didn't care what Yin Fengzhan wanted to say and walked away quickly. Watching her fast-departing back, Yin Fengzhan was so angry his face turned livid. He wanted to chase after her, but looking at Gu Hong to the side, he turned around and flicked his sleeves away!

Yin Fengzhan and Nie Jinxuan parted on bad terms. At this moment, the atmosphere in Shuyu Xuan was cold and frozen. It turned out that the usually good-tempered Han Luoxue had been sitting in her seat in silence ever since she returned from the front courtyard. Her calm face seemed undisturbed, but it invisibly made people feel a chill in their hearts.

Han Luoxue didn't speak, and Xing'er, who was guarding beside her, didn't dare to say much either. But seeing her silent for too long, Xing'er finally couldn't help but whisper:

"Miss, what is wrong with you? Was it just now... However, Miss, please don't take it to heart. That one in the opposite courtyard probably just got lucky; otherwise, with her brain, how could she have said such a thing? So, Miss..."

Xing'er was the intimate maid Han Luoxue had brought from her maiden home; she wasn't old, but she was very shrewd! The "one in the opposite courtyard" she mentioned naturally referred to Nie Jinxuan. But before she could finish her words, she was instantly interrupted by Han Luoxue.

"If she didn't think of it, could it have been taught by someone else?!" ===== CHAPTER 38 =====
