The sudden noise made Zhou Huaijin withdraw his hand. He was flushing, as his heart started to beat nervously.
He inhaled. Since when did he start to get so excited?
He got up and poured himself a cup of tea, finally calming himself down after a few sips.
Gu Chaoyan slept very calmly and peacefully.
However, it was not calm outside the mansion.
The Chief's hands were chopped off in his own office, whilst Madame Duke Changning and the Prince got so terribly injured that they were carried back home to Duke Changning's Mansion.
All of this work was done by Lord Huai.
No one apart from the King in the Saint Divine Land dared to counter Lord Huai.
Nevertheless, for people of the Saint Divine Land, it was quite normal that Lord Huai had done such a cruel thing. He had been known for being cruel, look at the daughter of the minister, who had her arms chopped off by his order. The chief and Madame Duke Changning were not even worth mentioning!
