Chapter 50: Upper hand and wanting to seek w.a.n.gfei’s favor
Being called useless right under your nose is really an unfortunate thing to happen. Lin Chujiu wanted to curse him back because she feels sorry for herself. But… …
When Lin Chujiu saw Xiao Tianyao’s deep and cold eyes, she tried to extinguish the anger that had ignited in her heart instead. Then, she lowered her head and said: “Being called useless is better than being dead.” She won’t be able to accept it more if she will die soon.
But, Lin Chujiu think that if she’ll just endure him forever, then one day she’ll go outbreak in abnormal silence.
“Really useless!” Xiao Tianyao took two steps away from her first before he turned around and said those words with a tone that is full of disgust and contemptuous att.i.tude. So obviously, a person would definitely get offended.
At that moment, Lin Chujiu gritted her teeth and said: “You… … you’re too much!” Seriously, her heart is as soft as a persimmon, but why does he keep on pinching her temper?
She had really tolerated Xiao Tianyao for many times now!
“Too much? Benw.a.n.g is too much, how can you say so?” Xiao Tianyao looks at her in her eyes while sitting on his wheelchair.
Earlier, Xiao Tianyao’s tall body was blocking the light. So, when he sat in his wheelchair, Lin Chujiu’s line of sight instantly got brighten so she noticed the contempt expression on his eyes.
When she saw the look in his eyes, Lin Chujiu felt like she got stabbed in the heart. After all, she didn’t do anything to him. She didn’t cause him any trouble. So, why is he looking at her as if she was a garbage?
Does he know that even an orphan who got transported to a foreign land could also have a proud heart and self-esteem too?
Lin Chujiu’s eyes got a bit teary in humiliation and couldn’t hold back her emotion anymore. So, she stares back at him angrily. Her stare was so fierce as if she is willing to cut off his throat and took Xiao Tianyao’s life.
“What? You have the courage now?” Xiao Tianyao said while stroking the tip of the arrow’s head.
If it’s just the usual situation, Lin Chujiu will just stand still. However, right now, she really had enough.What did she do wrong anyway for them to threaten her?
Earlier, the Emperor, the Empress, and the Crown Prince had bullied her… … but now that she got back., Xiao Tianyao was bullying her. Why does everyone is trying to bully her?
“w.a.n.gye, don’t forget, I was bestowed by the Emperor to be your w.a.n.gfei.” Lin Chujiu’s face turns cold and said it slowly word for word.
“What? Are you trying to pressure benw.a.n.g now?” A flashed of disappointment was shown on Xiao Tianyao’s eyes.
Is she finally going to exposed herself?
He knew that she wouldn’t be that simple because she was given by the Emperor.
“No, I am not trying to pressure you, your highness. I just wanted to remind you that not unless I would commit adultery or made an unforgivable mistake or… … I died, I will still be your w.a.n.gfei. Similarly, even if w.a.n.gye died I will still stay as your w.a.n.gfei.” Lin Chujiu’s tone particularly got heavy when she said her last sentence. Her tone seems threatening him.
“Are you threatening benw.a.n.g?” Xiao Tianyao’s face still looks so cold but didn’t show any trace of anger.
Lin Chujiu shook her head and said:, “No, I wouldn’t dare to threaten w.a.n.gye. I just wanted to state these facts.” She just wanted to state these things if ever Xiao Tianyao failed to remember who is she.
Didn’t she cooperate enough? After entering his mansion, didn’t she behave well? She doesn’t want to intervene in any of his business, so she sent away all the Lin Family’s maidservant. She really can’t understand what else is keeping him unsatisfied with her?
“Even if you wanted to take benw.a.n.g’s life, you still don’t have the ability.” Xiao Tianyao sneers, but he no longer has the contempt look in his face.
He only just realized and found out that Lin Chujiu was also a proud and sensitive woman. And it seems she really hate it when a person was looking at her with full of contempt. He knows that she’s an arrogant lady, so how would he expect her to have a sensitive temper?
Xiao Tianyao thought that Lin Chujiu will no longer say anything, so he didn’t expect her to sneer back at him and look at him with a haughty face while saying arrogantly: “If a doctor had planned to kill you, it will be really hard to detect. So, don’t go and look for one unless your life is really in danger.”
After she finished saying her words, Lin Chujiu just left and no longer bother if Xiao Tianyao will get angry or not.
“If a doctor had planned to kill benw.a.n.g, it will be really hard to detect?”Xiao Tianyao said while looking at the departing figure of Lin Chujiu and only diverted his line of sight when a guard came in to report the situation that had happened outside.
Unsurprisingly, the a.s.sa.s.sin had run away and wasn’t even got discovered by the guardsmen. Xiao Tianyao didn’t hesitate to throw the arrow he took in front of the guard and said: “Go and check where this arrow came from.”
The arrow’s head is a new model, but the fine iron that was used in it is the same in the military and no ordinary workshop could attain it.
“Yes,” the guard immediately answered and retreated, but before the guard pa.s.sed through the door. Xiao Tianyao added: “And also, find Liu Bai and tell him to come.”
However, when Liu Bai heard about the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt. He didn’t wait to be called by Xiao Tianyao and just took the initiative to come to his place to see if he didn’t get injured. And when Liu Bai gets inside, he saw all the scars on the wall.
“Although the arrow is a new model, but based on its force and style. It’s definitely Zhou Si. Zhou Si might be a notorious murderer, but he has a good reputation when it comes to his job. Once he took the job, he will not give up no matter what, even if the employer himself ask him to stop.” Liu Bai said while looking at Xiao Tianyao with full of worries.
At the night of Xiao Tianyao’s wedding, Zhou Si also sent out three arrows towards the room and almost shot Lin Chujiu.
So, to be targeted by such a person is definitely not good.
“Zhou Si?”Xiao Tianyao sneers while tapping the table: “He is only an a.s.sa.s.sin so benw.a.n.g will not put him in his eyes. He may have a good reputation but he is still a runaway killer. Such impudent person is not qualified to stand in front of benw.a.n.g.”
“What do you want to do?” Liu Bai’s eyes got brighter, he knew Xiao Tianyao will definitely fight back. This Zhou Si will soon face his death.
“Only an a.s.sa.s.sin could go against an a.s.sa.s.sin. And benw.a.n.g doesn’t have time to play with him, so just go and find an a.s.sa.s.sin. Benw.a.n.g is willing to spend money to buy his life.” Xiao Tianyao turns back his wheelchair and slowly said: “Give 100,000 liang to anyone that will take Zhou Si’s life for benw.a.n.g.”
An a.s.sa.s.sin could understand an a.s.sa.s.sin the most, so Xiao Tianyao only needs to use his silvers to solve this matter and he no longer needs to get worried.
“Ok, I know what to do.” Liu Bai immediately nodded his head because he could no longer wait to solve this matter. But, when he turned around to go, Xiao Tianyao stopped him: “Wait.”
“Is there anything else?”Liu Bai turns around again and asked.
“Go and tell Divine Doctor Mo to wait for another 10 days to treat Benw.a.n.g’s legs.” Lin Chujiu reminded him to be careful so he need to be cautious: “In addition, tell him to give us a list of all the medicine he will use for benw.a.n.g’s treatment.”
“Huh? Is there a problem?” Liu Bai had sensed that there is a problem, but he couldn’t identify what exactly is it.
“None, just do as benw.a.n.g said.” Xiao Tianyao did not explain much to Liu Bai unlike when he is with Su Cha.
“I know, but … …” Liu Bai bluntly said while touching his head and embarra.s.singly said: “Won’t it make Divine Doctor Mo unhappy? What will we do if he lost his interest to treat you?”
At first, they had tried everything to please Divine Doctor Mu, but now it seems like they don’t trust his medicine skills anymore. So, he would definitely be unhappy about it.
“Tell Divine Doctor Mo, benw.a.n.g’s w.a.n.gfei loves medicine so she wants to know what could be those medicine that will cure benw.a.n.g’s injury. So, benw.a.n.g is asking for the list of medicine to pleased w.a.n.gfei.” Xiao Tianyao just bluntly said and didn’t even hesitated to use Lin Chujiu as his s.h.i.+eld.
Lin Chujiu know some medicine, so if Divine Doctor Mo learn that it’s because of her. Divine Doctor Mo could only believe that it has nothing to with him. Additionally, he didn’t make him lose his face.
“Is this reason really ok?” Liu Bai got stunned for a moment. Then, felt like things are not quite right. After all, Xiao Tianyao could think for a more believable reason than this.
“Why not? Benw.a.n.g likes w.a.n.gfei, so it’s only natural to please her.” Xiao Tianyao said while taking advantage of the situation. Completely ignoring the coldness in his eyes and emotionless tone… …
