57 Chapter 54

A few hours earlier...

A man wearing a shadow's outfit discreetly entered Xiuying's bedroom however once he entered he felt a dagger on his neck he quickly nudged the arms downwards avoiding his life from ending. Then he made two steps forward to get away from the person behind him. He knows it is her, her lavender and vanilla scent always gives her away.

"Who are you?" A female's chilling voice rang out in the room. It is still the same when she's on alert, he knows every cell on her body remembers all what she experienced in her past. The chase, the people who died protecting her and those who she killed for they made ways to get her caged.

The man didn't answered but dashed forward aiming to disarm her. Xiuying immediately block all his moves she knows that his purpose was to capture her for what reason, she didn't know. Knowing her body isn't the same she flipped her body backwards landing perfectly on the top of her dresser and as the man make way towards her, she immediately throws a small ball which hits the man's face and bursts the powder on it.

The man started to feel his strength leaving him thus decided to retreat while he still can. He whistled and as he reached outside his men immediately approached and help him escape.

'I'll be back Raine and next time you will come back to me on your own will.' The man thought as he look back at Xiuying.

Seeing few men with higher martial art skills than her helped the man Xiuying didn't chase them. All her shadow guards were either killed or knocked out. Thankfully she had a feeling that someone is watching her these past few days so she advised her maidservants to not attend to her during the evenings.

Meanwhile in Long Fu, Guanting was playing with his child in the receiving area of Qi Fan's courtyard. He didn't enter his wife's bedroom nor he greeted her. He even ordered for the male servants to locked her room from outside.

He continued to dote on his child as if he didn't hear Qi Fan's cries to let her out thus the servants decided to ignore their young madam. Feeling that he played enough with his son, Guanting gives him to one of the wet nurses and instructed that aside from an hour or two with Qi Fan the child should be in his room and taken care of the mamas.

Upon reaching his study he saw his grandfather's trusted aid waiting for him. "This young master made you wait." Guanting humbly said after receiving the old man's greetings.

"This servant didn't wait too long. Old master instructed this servant to give this to young master."

"I see... Did grandfather said anything aside from having you send this?"

"Yes, Old master said to not look back and take care of what you have chosen." Seeing Guanting's expression sunk the servant quickly added. "If young master don't have any further instruction then may this servant have permission to leave?"

"Go..." after seeing the servant left, Guanting slams the door of his study and kicked his table knocking and scattering all the documents neatly placed on it.
