Chapter 692: 326 Likes (Second Update)_2 Chapter 692: 326 Likes (Second Update)_2 Upon hearing it was about studying, Zhuang Mengdie instantly lost her interest. Although she loved her brother, she was more afraid of doing homework.

“I… I…I feel a bit dizzy, probably from the heat, I’ll go back to my room to rest, you go do your homework!”

Having said that, Zhuang Mengdie ran off in a hurry.

Zhuang Yuexi went to the Duke’s courtyard.

The servants were surprised to see her come over.

“You all can step back.” She ordered with a cool voice.

“But master has ordered…” One of the maidservants murmured in a low voice.

Another maidservant, eyeing the situation, tugged at her sleeve and said to Zhuang Yuexi, “Yes, we’ll retreat.”

The two stepped aside, and Zhuang Yuexi walked into the courtyard and into the Duke’s bedroom.

The physician had finished treating his injuries and had gone to the small kitchen to decoct a medicine for him. Only a personal servant remained by the bed.

“You can leave too.” Zhuang Yuexi ordered.

The servant didn’t dare to move.

Zhuang Yuexi could order around the two gatekeeper maids, but she couldn’t order around the Duke’s personal servant.

In the bedchamber, the Duke slowly opened his eyes and said weakly, “You can leave.”

“Yes!” The servant respectfully retreated.

With no one else around, Zhuang Yuexi hastened to fall before the bed, worryingly grabbing her brother’s hand, “Brother…”

The Duke, propping himself up with his index finger, turned on his side and lifted his other hand and slapped her!

Using all his strength in this slap, he coughed up a mouthful of blood after.

Zhuang Yuexi was dumbstruck, she looked at the Duke in disbelief, “Brother…”

The Duke didn’t have the energy to slap her a second time, he propped himself up on his elbow, his eyes filled with anger, “Why did you do this?”

Brother knows… Brother knows everything…

Zhuang Yuexi looked at the Duke in panic, wanted to argue, but didn’t know where to begin.

The Duke’s eyes were full of heartache and disappointment, “If I hadn’t asked the housekeeper who had distracted him… I wouldn’t have known that my own (younger) sister would do such a vicious and disgusting thing! What did Miss Yuan ever do to wrong you, that you plotted against her in such a way!”

“I… Brother, I… I…” Zhuang Yuexi panicked, her whole body trembling, tears dropped, her mind in chaos, even her words began to stray, “I… I didn’t want to hurt you… I…”

“Do you not feel any guilt towards Miss Yuan!” The Duke was greatly disappointed, this was his own (younger) sister, “And you even implicated Miss Gu! Are you satisfied now?”

Zhuang Yuexi sobbed, “I… I didn’t mean to implicate Gu Jinyu… I didn’t know she would suddenly appear… Yuan Baolin… Yuan Baolin is just a Daoist nun… She’s not worthy of you!”

The Duke said coldly, “So you found someone to dishonor her!”

“I… I didn’t… I… I just wanted to scare her… To make her… no longer qualified to marry you…” Zhuang Yuexi implicated the housekeeper, not just to get him out of the way, but to lure the Duke out as well.

The Duke noticed the housekeeper’s strange expression and immediately retreated to his room, only to find Miss Yuan drugged and being harrassed by a stranger.

He went over to drive the man away, but in the process accidentally brushed against his clothes and got some of the drug on himself.

“Go away!” He roared.

Miss Yuan jumped from the window.

The Duke, fearing he would do something irreversible, locked the door while he still had some sensibility, but he didn’t expect Gu Jinyu to pass by the door.

Gu Jinyu didn’t know what had happened, seeing his wrong facial expression, she came in to ask him what was wrong.

His rationality collapsed.

In a daze, he heard Gu Jinyu’s weeping, he pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed his own leg.

At this time, Yuan’s head official finished his conversation with his colleague and went up to the agreed meeting place.

The head official of the Yuan family saw his disheveled state and Miss Gu in the room, and the room in disarray, but did not see Miss Yuan. He did not know what the head of the Yuan family must be thinking, but the head of the Yuan family angrily left!

This marriage is over.

The Duke laughed at himself, “If she is not qualified to marry me, who is?”

No one is qualified, brother is the best, the best man in the world, they are all not good enough for brother!

However, Zhuang Yuexi dared not voice these inner thoughts.

She could feel that her brother was truly angry this time, her brother might never want her again.

She knelt down, gripped the Duke’s wrist, as she wept uncontrollably, “Brother, don’t you already have someone in your heart? I… I… I know brother didn’t want to marry her… I…”
