Chapter 27: Change of Place

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Young Miss, the second young miss is playing shuttlecock with the maids in the open space by the lake..” Liu Li reported in a low voice.

She knew how to find the perfect place. It would do well for her to decorate the lakeside for the night.

Chi Yao smiled.

“Let’s go and take a look,”

…

People said that Xiao Lianyi had invited a few teachers for “Chi Yang”, but “she” drove them all away. As a result, Chi Yang had nothing to do every day.

Chi Yang, who was feeling bored today, watched the maids as they were playing shuttlecock and decided to join in. However, there wasn’t much space in her court to play, so she suggested finding a spacious area.

Hence, they came to the open space beside the lake by the garden. It was winter, and the lake was covered with a thick layer of ice. It was considered safe, so she did not have to worry about the shuttlecock being kicked into the lake.

However, they didn’t play for long before an uninvited guest came.

“Sister, what are you playing? Can I join you?” Chi Yao asked Chi Yang sincerely.

Chi Yang looked at Chi Yao and felt something was amiss.

But what could a shuttlecock do to her?

“Alright,”

Chi Yang never expected Chi Yao to kick herself into the lake with a shuttlecock.

Was Chi Yao that heavy? But the lake was covered with a thick layer of ice!

Before Chi Yang could call for help, Chi Yao had already been rescued by her servant girl.

Chi Yao was shivering from the cold, but she did not forget to criticize Chi Yang, “Sister, you really hate me. Are you trying to drown me alive?”

The shuttlecock that was passed to Chi Yao was indeed kicked by her, but she didn’t expect Chi Yao to chase the shuttlecock into the lake.

When Xiao Lianyi heard the news and rushed over, she immediately escorted Chi Yang into the Chi family ancestral hall.

It’s called reflection.

Chi Yang was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. The more she looked at the tablets of her ancestors, the hotter she felt.

The hot feeling was exactly the same as last time.

In a flash, Chi Yang finally knew why Chi Yao had framed her this time.

But… How was she going to get out now…

Just as Chi Yang was worried about her life, footsteps came from the ancestral hall. She turned around and realized that it was Shen Jue, in a black robe.

The stench of blood followed him in.

Chi Yang wrinkled her nose and looked up at Shen Juan. “Why are you here? This is the ancestral hall of the Chi family. Outsiders are not allowed to enter…” Although it was fine if him to came here, if they were to…. Uh… Well… It would be a little disturbing for the ancestors.

Fortunately, Shen Juan understood the underlying meaning behind her words.

“Then why don’t we move to another place, like the private room in the bookshop last time?” Shen Juan suggested, then proceeded to pick Chi Yang up from her kneeling position into his arms.

“That’s a good suggestion.”

…

When Chi Yao sent someone to check if Chi Yang was dead, she found that Chi Yang was long gone from the ancestral hall.

“Where can she go? She still had the lingering poison from the love incense…” Chi Yao was a little anxious. This plan was so perfect, and if she waited a little longer, no one would be in her way.

But now, her servant was telling her that she had disappeared?!

Hupo, who was standing guard at the side, suddenly remembered what that other servant had instructed her to do on that day.

“Miss, could it be that wild man who brought the Second Miss to the bookshop last time?”

Chi Yao thought it was possible.

“Hurry up! Tell our parents that Sister had gone missing and that she might have been kidnapped. Just lead them to the bookstore!”

It would be even better if she could find Chi Yang fooling around with the wild man in the bookstore. Even if she couldn’t find her, Chi Yang’s reputation would be ruined after this night.

Chi Yao chuckled, “Remember to let me know if you have any news.”

Unbeknownst to her, on the other side, Xiao Lianyi, who heard Chi Yao’s servant girl’s report, collapsed onto the ground.
