Chapter 675: Causing Her Own Demise (1)

He Changdi looked her over once before ordering, Put it down and get out.

Jingyan was startled by the abrupt command. She hadnt thought that He Changdi would be so cold and indifferent towards her. His gaze hadnt even lingered even a second longer over her.

Jingyan bit her lip and made a decision in her heart.

She only had one chance! If she missed out on this one chance, then she would have to give up on her dream!

She took a deep breath and put on the most seductive expression she could muster up. Ignoring He Changdis order to set down the box and leave, she sashayed up to He Changdi and put the food box down at one corner of the table. Jingyan spoke in a soft voice, Master, Madam is worried for your health, so Madam specially told me to watch Master drink the soup down.

The cold aura that He Changdi had kept under control suddenly burst out in full force. He had been considering the fact that Jingyan had been serving as Chu Lians maidservant ever since she had married him, so he had given her some leeway. However, since she wanted to invite her own death, he wasnt going to show her any mercy.

Jingyan hadnt noticed the subtle changes in He Changdi. She was so nervous that her heart was about to leap out of her chest. She couldnt possibly have taken note of the expression on He Changdis slightly bowed head.

Her slender hand moved to her waist. With a gentle tug, her thin nightgown came undone, revealing her long, snow-white legs and her full bosom

Jingyan gathered her courage and leaned over the table, revealing her exposed chest to He Changdis sight. Her voice wavered as she offered in a delicate and frail manner, Ma Master, this servant will help you drink the soup

The rage in He Changdis chest reached its peak upon hearing Jingyans shy words.

He abruptly lifted his head. The frozen expression on his handsome face had finally changed, but it wasnt the change Jingyan had been hoping for.

His handsome mien was slightly contorted into a malevolent expression and his deep eyes were like ancient glaciers.

Jingyan was scared stiff by that sinister look on He Changdi. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she lost all strength and collapsed to the ground.

By now, Jingyan had finally realised how stupid her decision had been. However, it was too late for regrets.

He Changdi didnt have any ounce of pity for a woman like this. A corner of his lips tugged upwards into a smirk. That smirk wasnt sympathetic at all, making him seem even more terrifying and cruel.

In the next second, the dishevelled and half-naked Jingyan was kicked right out of the study. She rolled and landed right by Laiyues feet.

Laiyue:

Following that, He Changdis angry roar burst out from the study, Once youve taken care of her, go and punish yourself!

Laiyues own expression turned overcast and he glared fiercely at the unconscious Jingyan. He was extremely vexed inside. This damned woman had caused trouble for him!

Even though he felt very indignant and he wanted to beat Jingyan up to take out his anger for a bit, Laiyue didnt dare to tarry on fulfilling He Changdis order.

He took out a black bamboo whistle and blew on it. In a short moment, two guards appeared from the darkness. With just a simple hand gesture from Laiyue, the two black-clad guards took the unconscious Jingyan away.

Laiyue hesitated for a moment before turning back and entering the study.

He Changdi looked up and swept a cold gaze over the manservant, making Laiyue freeze up.

Laiyue showed a pained expression as he explained, Master, its not that this servant didnt have doubts, but Jingyan was one of Madams handmaids

You can shut up now. Take this box of food to Uncle Miao and have him check if theres anything else in the soup.

Laiyue didnt dare to continue explaining for himself. He only agreed and took the box of food in hand.

Has Wenqing left yet?

Shes already gone. When you kicked Jingyan out, Miss Wenqing left immediately.

Alright, youre dismissed!

Laiyue bowed as he walked backwards out of the study.

After Wenqing explained everything that had happened, the tension in Chu Lians heart faded away. She could finally lay back down and have a good nights rest.

It wasnt until before daybreak that He Changdi finished his work and returned to Songtao Court.

Uncle Miao had actually come all the way over to the study just now because of that aphrodisiac soup, putting He Changdi in an awkward spot.

Uncle Miao had even assumed that he had some hidden illness! The doctor had insisted on taking his pulse before finally leaving.

Chu Lian felt someone hold her in her sleep. She struggled a little in her half-awake state, but she couldnt get free. In the end, she opened her eyes reluctantly, only to meet with He Changdis dark and deep gaze.

He Changdi chuckled and pinched her pert little nose, You silly goose. Are you satisfied now?

Chu Lians mind was still foggy, so she couldnt really process what he had said. She pouted and repeated the insult back at him, Youre the silly goose!

He Changdi didnt retort. He simply looked at the cute and sleepy Chu Lian in his arms with a warm gaze. He couldnt resist kissing her fluttering eyelids.

Did our little one disturb you these two days?

Ever since Great Doctor Miao had diagnosed that she was carrying, the pregnancy symptoms had immediately started up with a vengeance. Chu Lian puked out whatever she ate. Sometimes, she would be able to eat a bowl of food, only for it to come back up later. Her appetite hadnt been very good in the first place. After the symptoms started, she ate even lesser.

However, Senior Servant Zhong and Great Doctor Miao had told her that she had to eat even if she didnt feel any appetite if she wanted to keep the child. Thus, she hadnt been having a very good time so far.

It wasnt until the three month mark had passed that the symptoms had slowly abated and her appetite had returned.

Now Chu Lian could down two bowls of rice by herself at one go.

Perhaps due to the scare from last month, He Changdi couldnt seem to set his worries aside. He asked about her condition daily and whether the little one had made trouble for her.

Chu Lian shook her head. After the first three months, the little bun seemed to have settled down. Other than a slight bump in her abdomen, she hardly felt pregnant by now, other than being just a little sleepier than usual.
