Chapter 40.3 : Killing Each Other
But upon returning back to the manor this time, something that everyone else would not be able to accept was bound to happen.
As it was feared that the Duke"s Manor was about to undergo changes in its rule.
When Yan Su came down from the horse carriage, he had then lovingly helped Qing Yu down right after, and then made an announcement that whoever was to see the Sixth Young Miss, they were all to being highly respectful to her, never to slight her in anyway.
No one was to step into the Tranquil Abode as they wished henceforth and Qing Yu would be allowed to go in and out of the Duke"s Manor freely. That special treatment, caused all the other woman to feel all kinds of envy and jealousy, with all of them cursing at the young la.s.s, thinking she was really not that simple a girl afterall to be able to win His Highness" high favour and love, exactly the same kind of bewitching vixen like her mother was!
Of course, no one had been as furious as Mo Han Yan was. She had immediately gone straight to Yan Su"s study, and looking at the man dealing with his official duties, she had taken a deep breath to push down the rage in her heart to say: "Your Highness."
Yan Su did not even raise his head as he grunted an acknowledgement.
"Why would you want to do this? Have you forgotten the promise you made to me back then?" Han Mo Yan had her fists tightly clenched up under her sleeves. "You clearly told me that you will not soften your heart towards that woman who betrayed you, and will never care whether her children lived or died."
Yan Su"s hand paused in its writing, his head finally raising up to look at her. As a man close to forty, though his face showed slight signs of weathering, that mature man"s handsome charm had become more enchanting, and Mo Han Yan could not help but become a little smitten as she stared.
"I had indeed said those words." Yan Su stood up, looking down at the woman before him from his high vantage point, his gaze a little cold. "Is that why you went on to bribe the midwife when she was about to deliver, purposely tormenting her to suffer complications giving birth? Is that why when I was out on a military mission, you had the legs of a child who was just a few years old broken, causing him to become a cripple and condemned to be wheelchair bound for life?"
Mo Han Yan"s eyes grew wide as saucers, staring at the man"s cold and icy expression in utter disbelief.
[How….. How did he come to find that out?]
[It"s not possible. There was clearly no one who knew about that matter as the midwife who handled the delivery had been eradicated. Except for that child!]
[But he was fed with drugs that had turned him into an idiot and would not be able to speak of it at all. Then, who could it be? !]
"For something not to be made known, it is unless the deed has not been committed!" Yan Su snorted derisively. "That gentle and kind Mo Han Yan who was once so loving and enchanting from before. Where has she gone to? Hmm? Your talents and great intelligence had all been used to devise such dirty tricks and insidious plotting?"
"I think that I have not treated you shabbily. Back when I married you, it had naturally been because I loved you. You were generous and smart, understanding and kind. I admit it, My heart had indeed been moved by Qing Fei, but did you know this? She did not love me. Even when I made my heart"s intentions clear to her, she still rejected me!" Yan Su"s countenance turned rather dark. "I settled her in the manor only to protect her, as I owed her a debt of grat.i.tude for having saved my life. But you….. You have caused me to bear the crime of being a dishonourable person and brought disgrace to my name!"
This was the first time Yan Su had said such words to Mo Han Yan, which caused her to collapse to the ground, her countenance turned deathly pale, unable to recover her senses for a long time.
[So, for so many years, everything she had done had been wrong all this time?]
[She had hated that woman. She had thought that the woman who had s.n.a.t.c.hed her husband from her had not even loved Yan Su at all. And….. she had sent that woman to her death with her own hands.
Mo Han Yan stared into the icy gaze that Yan Su was looking at her which pierced right into her bones, and her heart came to understand that they…..would never be able to go back to the way they were before.
And all of that, was witnessed by a pair of sparkling large eyes outside the door. The eyes turned away and then disappeared.
