Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Di Cang’s cold gaze swept past the guard as he waved his sleeve and turned around, walking toward Marquis Cang’s manor in big strides.
***
In the courtyard of Marquis Cang’s manor, a young lady sat on the stone bench as her fingers lightly played with her hair, waiting in utter boredom.
“Your Highness, princess, please have some tea.”
The maidservant brought over a cup of tea, carefully placing it before the young maiden before respectfully standing by the side.
The young maiden glanced at the porcelain cup which held the tea as her brows immediately straightened into a line. “Your manor uses this kind of cup to serve me? Why didn’t you bring out those jade cups I just saw in the study? Or are you trying to tell me that you think that jade does not suit me?!”
Thud!
The young maiden’s hand fell onto the table heavily as her face was full of anger as she scolded with an arrogant att.i.tude.
The maidservant was shocked to the point whereby she knelt down and trembled. “Reporting to Your Highness, the princess. It is not that I am not willing to give you the jade cups, but rather, the jade cup specially belongs to the marquis. The marquis has always been obsessed with cleanliness and has disallowed others from touching his belongings.”
“How gutsy of you!” The young maiden suddenly stood up and slapped the maidservant.
The maidservant was sent crumbling to the ground by this slap. She used her hand to cover her cheek, her gaze full of grievance.
“I am the future Marchioness Cang! Everything that belongs to Marquis Cang also belongs to me from today onward! You actually dare say that Marquis Cang would disdain me?” 3
All these years, she had always been away acknowledging masters and learning arts. She had just return to Liu Huo Kingdom a couple of days ago and she had fallen in love with Di Cang at first sight on the first day she returned!
Although Di Cang’s reputation was known, the sixth princess disagreed that he was ruthless to women! However, she was still a princess of the royal family and she believed that he would not dare not give her some face!
The maidservant was shocked to the point of not even daring to say a word more as she lowered her head even more, wishing she could just squeeze her entire body through the gaps in the ground.
“Future Marchioness Cang?”
Just as the sixth princess thought that the maidservant was terrified because of her, a cool voice rang out from behind her. “Why is it that I’m unaware of that? Since when has there been an extra Marchioness Cang?”
The man’s voice was gloomy, cold and piercing, which made the sixth princess stiffen. After that, a bashful look appeared on her face as she slowly turned around, shyly and timidly lowering her small head. “Marquis, I have waited for you here for a long time. Why are you only returning now?”
Her voice carried a hint of coquettishness, the way one would act coquettishly toward a lover.
“However…” The sixth princess paused as her gaze ruthless glared at the maidservant who was kneeling on the ground. “These maidservants in this manor are truly too presumptuous! To actually use these sort of second grade cups to serve me!”
Di Cang’s line of sight slowly moved and landed on the cup which was atop the stone table.
He raised his hand and picked up the cup as his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly and a chilling gleam flashed past.
Crack!
In that instant, the cup which was originally held in his hand instantly shattered. The hot, boiling tea fell onto his palm, but he acted as if he did not feel a thing, his voice carrying a cruelness. “You are not worthy to drink my tea!”
‘You are not worthy of drinking my tea!’
The sixth princess widened her eyes in astonishment as her face turned pale. Her lips trembled slightly as the initial astonishment in her eyes turned into anger.
He actually…dared to humiliate her like this?
Di Cang threw the shattered cup in his hand onto the ground. His palm lightly pressed on the stone table and with a rumble, the whole table crumbled and turned into ruins and piled up on the ground.
“Clean up this place for a bit. Then, use salt.w.a.ter to wash all the places she walked past ten times.” Di Cang patted his hands. The coldness in his voice made the sixth princess’ heart start to tremble.
