Chapter 1954: Berating Chapter 1954: Berating Editor: Henyee Translations With this incident unfolding, the atmosphere among the attendees grew noticeably strained.
Approximately an hour later, Shao Yunduan announced his intention to depart, prompting the guests to take their leave in succession.
The i Family and the Huo Family bid farewell to Shao Yunduan and politely declined any further invitations.
It was widely speculated that the i and Huo families harbored plans to surprise Lord Shao in private.
Despite any envy or curiosity stirred among the other guests, none dared to vie with these esteed families.
Upon entering his carriage, Shao Yunduan found an unfamiliar pair of master and servant awaiting him.
The maid, in particular, possessed striking features—a sharp, oval face and delicate contours illuminated by the dim night.
Her fair complexion accentuated her beauty, but it was her captivating eyes that truly commanded attention—srizing, alluring, and flirtatious.
For a mont, Shao Yunduan found himself montarily taken aback, as if encountering this woman for the first ti.
The woman suppressed a coy laugh behind her hand before speaking timidly, “My Lord, I am Liu Zhi.
I hold you in great admiration and am willing to accompany and serve you.
I offer myself as a humble servant and maid, with no regrets for the rest of my days.
Please grant this wish…” Shao Yunduan’s expression darkened.
Suddenly, it beca clear why she seed so familiar.
“Get off here!” “Lord!” “Don’t make say it a second ti!
Not everyone can board my carriage if they want to.
Who asked you to co up?
How dare you!” “Lord, you’re wise.
I definitely didn’t an to offend you!
I just—” “You have already offended !” Shao Yunduan said coldly.
“You ca up without my permission, that is an offense!” “But…” “If you refuse to disembark, shall I have soone assist you?” Shao Yunduan’s stern words jolted Liu Zhi, leaving her no room for further argunt.
She timidly grasped the maid’s hand and hastily exited the carriage.
As Liu Zhi vacated her seat, Shao Yunduan cast a disapproving glance in her direction, his brow furrowing in displeasure.
With a decisive pivot, he descended from the carriage and ordered Qing Yan to fetch a horse.
Mounting swiftly, he rode off, trailed by Sun Bai and his retinue.
anwhile, Qing Yan commandeered the vacated carriage, positioning himself at the edge with a disdainful snort aid at Liu Zhi, before instructing the coachman to proceed.
Internally flustered, Liu Zhi found herself at a loss for words, her thoughts swirling chaotically.
The maid, bewildered by the unfolding events, voiced her confusion, “Miss, how could Lord Shao treat you like this?
You’ve done nothing but kindness—” “Enough,” Liu Zhi interjected, her embarrassnt threatening to overwhelm her.
She turned away, seeking solace in the presence of Old Master Zhuang.
Old Master Zhuang, too, appeared taken aback and apprehensive.
Could this incident incur Lord Shao’s ire?
Regardless of his concerns, his only course of action was to escort Liu Zhi back promptly and relay the events to the Second Old Master of the i Family with haste.
Liu Zhi’s exceptional beauty made her a rare find indeed.
Even with ample resources, locating her wouldn’t have been a simple task.
Upon hearing the report, Second Old Master i offered little response, allowing Old Master Zhuang to depart without much ado.
However, once alone, his countenance soured considerably.
The discovery of this coveted beauty proved to be a disappointnt—she seed utterly ineffectual.
Later that evening, the three brothers convened in the study, their minds burdened with worry.
Third Old Master i was the first to voice his frustration.
“What is Lord Shao’s objective?
If he shuns female company, does he not desire a spouse and heirs?
Why shun the company of a suitable mate?
What harm could it possibly bring?
I find it utterly confounding.”
