Chapter 31

"What did you say?!" Duan Muyan abruptly stood up, her clear eyes containing traces of a cold gaze that could not be conatined.

Noticing the rage in Duan Muyan's eyes, Su Jinxiu sniggered.

"What? Did I touch your sore spot there? Have I said something wrong?! Perhaps you, a so-called-princess, don't even know whose vile seed you really came from! And that—" without waiting for Su Jinxiu to finish speaking, Duan Muyan raised her hand and sent a slap towards Su Jinxiu!

"Pah!"

"Pah!"

"Bang!" Duan Muyan was so angry that she was about to slap her hand down towards Su Jinxiu, but Su Jinxiu suddenly shot back like a bolt of lightning. The bowl of porridge in her hand fell to the ground, and it shattered into pieces.

Five fingers mark immediately appeared on her delicate and fair cheeks. A fiery hot feeling filled every nerve of Duan Muyan, causing a salty taste to rise in her mouth.

This was the first rime in her life that she had raised her hand to hit someone. Even though she was too weak at the moment, she still used all of her strength when she attacked. She was too angry!

"Weren't all true?! You actually dared to hit me?! Duan Muyan, you are not worthy of being a princess. And were even less than worthy to be the mistress of this Xiao Estate. Damn you! You should have died with your consumptive mother! And your brother?! That so-called First Prince… Pui! He was simply a short-lived ghost! All of you deserve to die!" Su Jinxiu's eyes reddened, as she glared hatefully at Duan Muyan, who was thrown to the ground by her. She hated Duan Muyan and hated her Mistress even more!

For seven years! How could Chu Shirou not have known her admiration for the Prince. And yet, she didn't mention anything about it. As long as she was willing to say it, the Prince would not refuse. But in the end, she had actually given her blessings toward Duan Muyan and Xiao Jinfeng! She even wrote her a letter. How could she!

"Shut up…! Su Jinxiu! You are going too far!" Her heart's beating had seemed to stop for a moment. A sudden pain surged through her like a flood through a dam as Duan Muyan abruptly pushed aside Su Jinxiu who was clamouring.

Amidst her clamour, Su Jinxiu was pushed away by Duan Muyan. Her left foot was entangled with a firewood, and she fell backward.

"Ah…!" the moment she fell to the ground, Su Jinxiu's hand poked at a fragment of the porcelain bowl that had just shattered. Blood immediately gushed out. At the side, Duan Muyan couldn't help but startled. Guilt welled in her heart and she was about to stand up when the woodshed door was ruthlessly kicked open.

Duan Muyan raised her gaze, and in that instant, a bitter smile appeared on her lips. If the heavens truly could not tolerate her, then what was the harm in giving her death.

"Xiu'er!" In Xiao Jinfeng's heart, Su Jinxiu was like those bowls and plates, the only things Shi Rou had left for him in this world. After shattering the bowl, Xiao Jinfeng was enraged, now that he had injured Xiu'er, how could he be willing to forgive her?

"Your Highness…. Ugh…" Su Jinxiu's long, shapely eyebrows were knitted together, her face was pale, and she looked as if she was in extreme pain!

If not for Xiao Jinfeng's sudden appearance, Su Jinxiu would have taken out the biggest shard and stabbed them into Duan Muyan. But now, with such an interesting show, how could she miss such an opportunity.

"Xiu'er! How could this be?! Your hand? Someone! Steward Zhou call the doctor!" Xiao Jinfeng didn't even spare Duan Muyan a glance as he walked in front of Su Jinxiu and help her in his embrace, taking care of her.

A moment ago, Xiao Jinfeng had ruthlessly thrown Qiu Yue onto the wall, not caring about whether she lived or die. At this moment, she was protecting Su Jinxiu, who was also a servant.

It was simply because Qiu Yue was her maid. In the end, it was her who harmed Yue'er.

"Ugh…! Painful… Prince… don't blame the Princess, she didn't mean to… its all the fault of Xiu'er… yet, when this servant mentioned Mistress… It pierced the Princess' sore spot…" being able to be embraced by Xiao Jinfeng like this was Su Jinxiu's dream.

Her hands were bleeding, but she did not care about it at all. She was enjoying the sweetness of being hugged by her beloved man to her heart's content.

"Don't say anymore! This Prince will naturally stand up for you! Someone! Steward Zhou!" Xiao Jinfeng coldly reprimanded as he glared sinisterly at Duan Muyan. Even though the finger marks on her cheeks were so obvious, Xiao Jinfeng turned a blind eye to it.

Steward Zhou walked in quickly from outside the woodshed. When he saw the scene in front of him, his heart skipped a beat!

"Your Highness…. This porridge…" Steward Zhou really wanted to explain that the porridge was given to him by Feng Xue and that it was illogical for Sun Jinxiu to appear here. Unfortunately, Xiao Jinfeng didn't even give him the chance to explain and handled Su Jinxiu over to him.

"Bring Xiu'er to treat her!" Xiao Jinfeng's eyes were deep and dark, and his body suddenly radiated with a dangerous aura. His voice was as cold as an icicle.

"Yes… But…" Stweard Zhou wanted to say something, but he saw Xiao Jinfeng waving his hand furiously. Although Steward Zhuo sympathised with Duan Muyan, but it wouldn't enough for him to get caught up in it! Furthermore, even if he was willing to explain, Xiao Jinfeng wouldn't listen.

Steward Zhuo's eyes were filled with infinite sympathy, but he had no choice but to bring Su Jinxiu out of the woodshed. The moment the room's door was tightly shut.....

I cannot take this anymore… Mu Yan was battered again by the abusive and unreasonable Xiao Jinfeng. I find this man more and more a dickhead and a sissy, and Mu Yan annoying!

Anyway, I might come back to this if Xiao Jinfeng's character became a waste.

I hope no one would feel like they lost some piece of the story, because the rest of this chapter were nothing but Xiao Jinfeng's close-mindedness and brutality, and Mu Yan being a Damsel in distress.
