So people with more guts hid aside to watch the excitent, while those with less courage, upon seeing that a life had been taken, feared bringing trouble upon themselves and had already fled ho, preparing to keep out of it.
"Wow! Isn’t that sedan chair from the Pri Minister’s Mansion?" A bystander who was watching the commotion recognized the origin of the sedan chair.
Indeed, within official families, everything that was used personally bore the family’s mark, and the Pri Minister’s Mansion was no exception.
"Looks like this ugly monster has caused a huge disaster."
As everyone knows, after so many years of effort, the Pri Minister took Nineteenth Aunt as his wife, and with great difficulty, they had a son. To think that the child would die at the hands of a dwarf, could the Pri Minister let that go easily? When that ti cos, it’s likely that the entire Capital will be shaken.
"That’s right! That’s right, the Pri Minister’s rage is formidable. It seems we should hurry ho and hide these next few days, not to co out, lest we suffer undeserved calamity."
Everyone nodded in agreent, knowing when big shots get angry, people could die, and with his only son dead, how could he let it go?
The bystanders hid away, discussing the events with one another.
anwhile, on the street, the dwarf was entangled in a fight with the followers, blades and shadows flashing, the spectacle intense and thrilling.
Qinger Building.
Without special reason, Qinger Building isn’t open during the day, but at night, it’s lively with song and dance, the most favored haunt of upper-class society’s gentlen.
Xuexue ca here today to inspect the business proceedings as usual.
The Old Hag brought over the account book. Just as they began to review a few pages, they heard the noisy sounds of a fight on the street.
Initially, Xuexue didn’t care. In the Capital City with its hidden dragons and crouching tigers, fights were common.
"Oh my! Miss, look at the street, there’s a dwarf. Not only is he ugly, but his mind is vicious too, he went as far as to kill a Little Kid, he really deserves to die." Zi Xia’s voice was filled with anger.
Upon hearing the word "dwarf", Xuexue paused.
The dwarf she had crippled before had vanished into thin air in Shuangxing County, leaving her with an uneasy feeling.
Hearing this, she put down the account book she was holding and stepped up to the window. Looking through the clear glass onto the street, she suddenly froze.
This dwarf was her enemy from her previous life.
In that damp Dungeon, he had tortured her for three full days and nights.
But, she had clearly severed all his tendons. How could he be unhard? Xuexue was filled with doubts.
Indeed, being kind to one’s enemy is cruelty to oneself.
Next ti, she would ensure that he had no chance to start anew. Xuexue clenched her fists tightly.
"Zi Xia, go find out what has happened outside," she commanded.
"Yes, Miss," Zi Xia turned and left.
Xuexue continued to sit down and look at the account book, but her thoughts were disrupted by the sudden appearance of the dwarf, and she couldn’t focus anymore.
Just at this ti, the Procuress walked in from outside, holding a small tray with three bowls of sweet soup and spoons on it.
"Master, I’ve made a lotus seed dessert myself, let’s take a break and enjoy it together," she said.
"That sounds good, I can’t focus anyway."
Putting down the account book, Xuexue stretched her hand and massaged her temples. The appearance of the dwarf had taken her by surprise.
"Is there sothing troubling you, Master?"
The Old Hag placed the sweet soup on the table and sat down on a stool beside it.
"Hmm! Indeed, there are so troubling matters."
"Speak up and let’s hear it, see if I can help in any way," she offered.
