Chapter 1509 - 1513: The Young Master Arrives

"Yao, Yao, Young Master..." Xiao Fen was holding flowers and had just returned to the front house from the backyard when she bumped into the young master with a frosty face, and was instantly tongue-tied with fright.

"Where is she?" He stood outside the door, looking at the small, old two-story building in front of him, completely ignoring the confusion in Xiao Fen’s eyes, and asked lightly.

"Is Young Master looking for Miss Huan? Miss Huan and Sister Xia are in the backyard." Xiao Fen had never seen the young master before, even those noble masters in the castle had never seen him. Now seeing Beitang Yao up close, she felt the aura of royalty emanating from him, making her breath catch.

The last time Sister Xia was on the brink of death, Young Master Yao rushed over, but she was too scared to look up at him then. Now that he appeared, it must be because of Miss Beitang Huan; it was impossible for Young Master Yao to come looking for Sister Xia with such treatment of her.

Beitang Yao listened, and walked towards the direction Xiao Fen pointed.

He hadn’t even approached the backyard when he caught the scent of tea and flowers.

There was also a series of pleasant silver bell sounds, striking his heart heavily.

Beitang Huan and Xia Qingqian were facing each other, Beitang Huan’s gaze passed through Xia Qingqian and landed on a silhouette that didn’t belong here, and the smile on her face instantly froze.

Xia Qingqian waved her hand twice in front of Beitang Huan’s eyes, whispering, "Huan, what’s wrong?"

Beitang Huan did not respond to Xia Qingqian’s words, Xia Qingqian pursed her lips and turned around slowly following Beitang Huan’s gaze.

At the moment she turned, her expression froze too. When she realized it wasn’t an illusion, she took a fearful step back and hid behind Beitang Huan, her eyes full of timidity.

Beitang Yao slowly walked over, seeing Xia Qingqian’s cowering actions, which deeply pierced his eyes; it was all his doing.

He stopped in front of them, reached out his hand, "Come back with me."

His tone carried a light gentleness, with a slight hint of command.

"Why do you always treat Qian Qian this way?" Beitang Huan protected Xia Qingqian behind her, and coldly said to Beitang Yao.

"Come back with me." Beitang Yao rarely repeated what he had just said, which surprised Xia Qingqian and Beitang Huan. They both knew Beitang Yao was someone who never said things twice.

"What do you mean?" Beitang Huan raised an eyebrow, looking at Beitang Yao, wanting to question him clearly.

Beitang Yao did not show an angry expression, but instead walked towards Xia Qingqian. As he approached, Xia Qingqian tightly gripped Beitang Huan’s clothes, not daring to look at Beitang Yao.

Seeing her so afraid of him made Beitang Yao’s whole heart tremble.

"Qian Qian, those videos have been investigated and it’s a slander." He spoke, but seemed somewhat powerless.

Beitang Huan listened, chuckled dryly twice, and said disdainfully, "Slander again, with so many examples before, why didn’t you refer to them earlier? Hurting Qian Qian’s young heart time and again, what is this? It’s like slapping her then giving her a candy."

"Over these months, do you know the grievances and pain Qian Qian has endured? Last month, her legs almost couldn’t move off the bed, do you know how much determination she used to overcome such difficulties?" Beitang Huan said coldly to Beitang Yao.

Xia Qingqian stood behind, although she did not dare to face Beitang Yao, she still couldn’t bear to hear Beitang Yao being criticized by Beitang Huan.
