Chapter 139: Taking Herbs? IV

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It had been more than ten years, but she was still unable to get close to Young Master Qin. She was adamant—thinking that she could rise up to the ranks and refused to get married. With Madam Wei’s support of her, Wei Pinyao could not get rid of this thorn in her flesh.

And now, her chance had finally come.

And now, her chance has arrived.

Previously, she saw the princess bringing Dai’er to the lady’s chambers, and somehow overheard them talking about some meal being laced with herbs.

No doubt she did not have the right to enter the room to serve the lady. She overheard the princess and Dai’er talking about it when she was passing by.

Dai’er was not well-informed of the whole situation. Naturally, she did not know the meaning of adding herbs into the meal. But of all things to do, she did not inform the young master of the princess’s visit. Instead, she only informed him after some time had passed, since the princess had entered the room.

She figured that the poison had already taken effect. Judging from the lady’s physique, she would not be able to endure this for too long.

She came forward happily thinking that she could leave a good impression on her master.

“Young Master,” Hong Xue bit her lips as she spoke.

“Just a moment ago, I saw the princess… She went to the lady’s room.”

‘What?’

Qin Xun was pale from fright.

That evil wrench went looking for trouble with Yao’er? Heck, why didn’t anyone inform him?

“The princess has arrived?” Chao Yang stood up immediately. Although almost as nervous as Qin Xun, he seemed to be filled with excitement.

Naturally, Hong Xue did not notice Chao Yang’s expression. Her sight was fixated on Qin Xun.

“Young Master, the princess didn’t only just come for a visit, she also brought along a meal and wanted to give it to the lady. I even heard that she added some sort of herb into the meal. Young Master better hurry or else the lady will die… Sob… sob…” Hong Xue’s tears flowed down her cheeks.

“If anything were to happen to the lady, I wouldn’t want to live anymore.”

Qin Xun did not care whether Hong Xue was dead or alive. He rushed towards her and shouted angrily.

“Why didn’t you inform me earlier that the princess went looking for Yao’er?”

“I… I…” Hong Xue was nervous, her face pale.

“I… thought that the princess wouldn’t do anything bad to the lady… but after much consideration, I was too worried for the lady therefore, I decided to inform you, Young Master.”

Qin Xun began to worry even more. He was just about to rush out when he heard Chao Yang’s loud laugh from behind.

“Did you just say that the princess added some sort of herb to the healthy dish? That’s great!”

The princess had brought the herbal dish, so the lady of the Qin family could finally be saved.

Who knew that right after he had said that, Qin Xun turned around furiously and swung his fist at Chao Yang, sending Chao Yang flying.

“I’ll come after you after I’ve saved Yao’er!”

That bastard, he was already panicking and yet he said that the princess did a great thing by adding a herb into the meal.

He didn’t have the courage to deal with the princess but he could always settle his affairs with Chao Yang.

Chao Yang was stunned.

Commander Chao got mad.

He slammed his fist onto the table and shouted angrily.

“Young Master Qin, due to my respect toward Master Qin, I have given you a lot of leeway. Instead of appreciating it, you punched Yang’er. I will not tolerate this, we will have to settle this debt before you leave!”

Qin Xun laughed coldly.

“The princess is trying to poison my wife. Instead of being worried, he has the guts to laugh at my misery. Shouldn’t I punch him? I don’t have the time to discuss nonsense with you. I’ll be back later to settle on this matter!”

He was worried about Wei Pinyao’s safety, so he did not have time to deal with Chao Yang.

Before he could walk out of the hall, Chao Yang’s angry voice rang aloud.

“Qin Xun, how dare you hit me! I’ve never been hit—not even by my dad, and here you are, punching me. You aren’t leaving unless we clear this up.”

Was he wrong?

He was just feeling happy that Lady Qin could finally be saved. Instead, this bastard punched him! Kindness does not always beget kindness.
