351, Cutting in Two with a Single Stroke (4 Updates)
Even raising a dog, it knows to protect its master.
When Yin Suwen betrayed Xie Zhinuan, she proved to be even worse than a dog.
“I, I…”
Yin Suwen’s face turned ashen, her complexion horrible to look at.
“You needn’t explain to me, go and tell the lady yourself, I dare not point fingers at you!” The silly girl finished speaking and turned to leave.
Yin Suwen chased after her, only to see Yin Zhe standing at the doorway, his eyes filled with disappointment and an indescribable disgust.
“Brother…”
“You…” Yin Zhe opened his mouth but couldn’t seem to find the words to say anything.
“Make wise decisions!” Yin Zhe said and then turned to walk away.
Yin Suwen caught up and grabbed his arm, quickly trying to explain, “Brother, I, I did it all for you!”
“No, you did it for yourself, because you are jealous. You are jealous that the lady is more capable, that she lives better, that she is more liked than you, but sister, do not forget, when we sold ourselves to bury our mother, the lady helped us generously. We should repay such great kindness, but you betrayed her, returning good with evil!”
He couldn’t even bring himself to call her “Sister Xie.”
Here, they had lost all face to stay any longer.
“Pack your things. I will bid the lady farewell. We will leave immediately and fend for ourselves. Either I’ll take you to our aunt’s house in Huizhou, or wherever you wish to go. After I send you off, I will go to Shaolin Temple to become a disciple, to learn martial arts, and avenge father’s death by myself, without your help!” Yin Zhe finished speaking and stepped away.
Yin Suwen leaned slowly against the wall, covering her face, and wept softly.
She was jealous.
Jealous that Xie Zhinuan was more beautiful than she, jealous of the many outstanding men who liked Xie Zhinuan, even His Highness Prince Han doted on Xie Zhinuan incredibly, showing her favor everywhere.
Why should she only be liked by those flunkies? She was a lady of wealth, but Xie Zhinuan was merely a farm girl with an unfortunate background.
When the silly girl came, she saw that Xie Zhinuan looked solemn.
Approaching the doorway, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Yin Suwen told Xiaoyue about your suspicions!”
“…”
Xie Zhinuan was surprised.
Yet, it wasn’t so surprising after all.
Her heart was calm, perhaps because she never had any expectations of Yin Suwen, nor had she thought about how she should be repaid.
“Since it’s out in the open, let her pack her things and leave. As for Xiaoyue… ask Xiaoyue to come see me,” Xie Zhinuan said softly.
“Miss, to let Yin Suwen off so easily, she’s been a traitor, a thankless wolf. Even if beaten to death with a stick, she’d have no room to complain!”
“It’s unnecessary. Though she is heartless, Yin Zhe is a good child. If only for Yin Zhe’s sake, let’s end it here and let them leave!” Xie Zhinuan finished, then noticed Yin Zhe standing aside.
She gave a faint smile, “Go pack your belongings, take your sister, and leave. Initially, we didn’t formalize the indenture contract at the Governor’s Office, so you are both free to go whenever you please!”
“Xie…, Miss, I’m sorry!” Yin Zhe said softly.
He felt extremely upset.
He greatly liked this beautiful lady, so gentle and pretty, kind-hearted.
“You don’t need to apologize to me. I can’t keep you here any longer, and you should know why. What I cannot allow is betrayal. You can have many small faults, which I would tolerate, for no one is perfect, but betrayal, I will not permit!” Xie Zhinuan said, then stepped forward and patted Yin Zhe’s shoulder, “Be a man of dignity; don’t cry, don’t ask too much. If I tell you to go, then just go!”
