Chapter 502 (1): Cut His Flesh (unedited)
He softly chuckled. “Prince Hao, you’re in such high spirits. In consideration that this Prince’s younger sister has a good relationship with the Princess Consort, I allowed her to leave the residence, but this is how the Prince Hao Residence treats its guests?”
Su Xi-er stood up and politely gestured at Xie Yun. “Commandery Prince, you seem to have quite a lot of internal fire recently, making it easy for you to do some unpleasant matters. Sit down; let’s slowly talk about it.”
“This Prince won’t sit on this chair. Prince Hao, you really dote on women. Ever since this Prince arrived at the Prince Hao Residence, you haven’t spoken a single word, but you did ask a woman to take the lead. Is the hall a place for a woman to butt in?” A mocking laughter escaped from his lips.
Pei Qianhao placed down the teacup in his hand and coldly stared at Xie Yun. “As a man, this Prince is indeed unable to interfere in this matter, so I can only hand this to the Princess Consort. Commandery Prince, if you do things that a man should be doing, you wouldn’t be arguing with a woman today.”
Despite his monotone voice, it was clearly laced with sarcasm, covertly ridiculing Xie Yun for making a move on women by abducting Zhen Yu.
Xie Yun shifted his gaze and gave Su Xi-er a meaningful look. “Since Prince Hao has spoken, then let the Princess Consort elaborate: what exactly has this Prince done that isn’t what a man should do?”
Su Xi-er shot up from her seat and stopped two steps away from him. “Commandery Prince Xie, let’s not beat about the bush. If you dare to do it, then you should have guts to own up. Where have you hidden Zhen Yu?” She made sure to observe his expression.
I don’t expect that he’ll tell us the truth, but all I need is just a subtle crack in his expression.
“This Prince has already sent Zhen Yu back to the medical clinic. Physician Mei has come to make a scene at the Commandery Prince Residence before. However, how would I know where Zhen Yu has gone when she had already been sent back?” Xie Yun calmly replied with not even the slightest change in his expression.
“Commandery Prince, how could you not know when you were the one who hid her?” Su Xi-er chuckled, deliberately revealing an expression that she clearly didn’t believe him.
“You don;t believe this Prince? Why would I want to lie to you? What about Zhen Yu is worthy for this Prince to have hidden her?”
Su Xi-er clicked her tongue. “As I thought, you’re really callous. Don’t you like Zhen Yu? But she likes Zhen Yu; because you couldn’t obtain her, you decided to hide her.”
Xie Yun’s gaze darkened, and it took a moment before he replied, “This Prince does like her, but I’m definitely not a person who immorally robs someone of their love.”
“We just need to investigate to find out if that’s really the case. Commandery Prince Xie, do you dare to let me investigate?” Su Xi-er probed him again.
“By all means.” It can’t be that I, Xie Yun, am afraid of her, right?
It was at this moment that Xie Liuli walked out from behind the screen in the main hall, having concealed herself all this while. She stared straight at Xie Yun as she said, “Elder Brother, I believe that you didn’t hide Zhen Yu away. You like her, so how could you possibly have hurt her? She must have gone to look for Brother Hu on her own.”
Watching his sister’s certain and clear eyes that evidently held much trust in him, his heart sank. I can lie to anyone except for Liuli. Whenever I face her, I will always feel guilty. I have let down my sister’s trust in me, but I have no choice but to hide Zhen Yu away.
Xie Liuli turned around to look at Pei Qianhao and Su Xi-er. “Prince Hao, Princess Consort Hao, why don’t we dispatch more people to search for Zhen Yu? Once we locate her, we’ll be able to exonerate my brother. The Commandery Prince Residence will also dispatch the guards, am I right, Elder Brother?”
