Chapter 328: Chapter 328: This Young Master Won’t Stoip to Your Level

Wang Mansion

Ever since Xiaoxiao had left, Wang Xiangxiang had also been restless. She had never seen Xiaoxiao like that before and feared something might happen to her, so she sent a house servant out to gather information while she waited inside the mansion for news.

Before long, the house servant that she had sent out ran into the mansion in a panic, shouting as he ran, "Miss, something terrible has happened! I just found out that Miss Zhong’s husband seems to have died."

"What?"

Wang Xiangxiang could hardly believe what she had heard. Yang Ming had actually died? This would be too much of a blow for Xiaoxiao. She had prepared for so long, and before she could even speak out, were they to be separated by life and death?

She felt pained for such a Xiaoxiao. She definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand it. She must rush to her side immediately.

She rose to her feet and said as she walked, "Prepare the carriage immediately, to the Academy."

On the streets

"Hey, did you hear? There’s been an incident at Yulin Academy."

"The news just came out this morning, saying that someone at the Academy was suffocated by smoke from a heated bed."

"What? Who was so unlucky?"

"What was his name, ah, right, it was Yang Ming. The one who died is called Yang Ming."

"..."

"..."

Chu Lian got up early in the morning intending to go to the Academy and heard this news on the street. It was like a bolt from the blue to him.

He stood there, dazed, with vacant eyes, his brain no longer able to command his actions. He stood motionless in the middle of the road.

At this moment, a carriage was speeding toward him, accompanied by the sound of wheels. Seeing the person ahead not moving, the coachman immediately tightened the reins, shouting, "Whoa! Whoa!"

The horse, having run too fast, couldn’t stop in time, and the startled horse kept neighing, "Neigh, neigh."

At the critical moment, Chu Lian came to his senses, took a slight step to the side to dodge, and avoided disaster. The carriage was then brought to a stop by the coachman.

Inside the carriage, Wang Xiangxiang had been scared half to death by this situation. The carriage had finally stopped, and she was clasping her hands over her chest, trying to steady her breath. She was about to get out to check on the situation because after all, it was always bad for someone to be startled like this, but then she heard people quarreling outside.

"How could you allow your servant to do that? Don’t you see this is on the main street? With the horse running so fast, what if someone got hit?"

"..." Was that directed at her? She had seen through the carriage window that it was he who had first stood still in the middle of the road. And now he was the first to play the victim.

"Today is your lucky day. This young master has urgent business and will let you off this time."

"..." Let her off? Hearing these words, her temper flared as well. She pushed open the carriage door and shouted at the person, "How I manage my servant is none of your business. It was your own fault for standing still in the middle of the road. If you got hit, you would have deserved it."

"You..." Chu Lian did not expect a beautiful young woman to be inside the carriage, speaking such harsh words. He shook his head helplessly, knowing he couldn’t delay any longer. He had to hurry to the Academy to see Yang Ming for the last time, "This young master won’t stoop to your level."

As he turned to leave, he heard the woman’s voice.

"Hey, wait a moment."

"..." He had already let her go, and she was still being unrelenting.

He furrowed his brow, turned around impatiently and said, "What else do you want?"

Wang Xiangxiang had been so preoccupied with arguing that it was only after finishing her tirade that she got a clear look at the person’s face. Wasn’t this the same man who was at Yuelai Restaurant that day, the Young Master of the Silver Pavilion whom Xiaoxiao had spoken of?

He had seemed so refined that day in front of Xiaoxiao. How could he be so rude today?

"Xiaoxiao’s husband has died, did you know?"
