Yue Beiyi thought about thousands of scenarios on how he would meet Banxia again.
The only thing he didn't expect was this one. The hatred burning in Banxia's eyes made him at a loss.
"Xiaxia..."
A soft call woke up Banxia from her deep hatred.
At this moment, tears welled up in her eyes unconsciously, and she resisted the tears from flowing out.
No matter how hard she tried to cover up, she couldn't truly hide the bloody hatred in her gaze.
"Xiaxia, don't be afraid, it's Brother Yi."
Yue Beiyi stepped forward and reached out to touch Banxia's forehead. Banxia immediately pushed his hand away vigilantly.
She jumped off the bed and looked at him warily, as if he was some heinous villain.
Such a look made Yue Beiyi a little frightened and also distressed.
"Young Master Yi, this is a young lady's boudoir. You broke the country's law by breaking in late at night without permission."
Banxia's eyes were cold, as cold as a piece of frozen moon. Bei Yi didn't dare to get even half a step closer.
"Young Master Yi?"
Yue Beiyi spat out these three words called out by Banxia. Although there was no expression on his face, a storm was already stirring in his heart.
Banxia was still as cold as ice, looking at Yue Beiyi with hatred that could not be concealed.
"Young Master Yi, don't tell me that you are here just to visit the ancients."
(TL: The original words are 探望古人 [tànwàng gûrén] which literally means "Visit the ancient". According to my research, it means to "visit and old friend/find the predecessors/investigate the past/investigate something or someone from ancient times/find someone from the past")
Yue Beiyi lowered his gaze: "Do you know that anyone who talks to me in this manner has became a corpse?"
Ban Xia smiled coldly: "Young Master Yi, if you want to kill Banxia, Banxia can't do anything."
Yue Beiyi's heart ached, why did the person he had waited for a long time, actually do this to him?
The unabashed hatred in her eyes made Beiyi's legs shook slightly. If it were someone else, he would have killed her, but when it comes to her, he was always powerless to do anything.
"Xiaxia, you..."
As long as he sees Banxia, the only thing he can do is to compromise, he can't do anything else.
Banxia was still as cold, and before Yue Beiyi finished speaking, he issued an eviction order: "Master Yi, if you have nothing to do, please go back."
Yue Beiyi wanted to get closer, but Banxia's coldness made him at a loss.
"Xiaxia, you broke your promise."
"So you are here to ask questions?"
"No, Xiaxia, I have been waiting for you."
Hearing these words, Banxia's heart was bleeding, recalling the man in her previous life, day after day, year after year, he had waited for her under that big banyan tree.
The childhood promise that lasted a lifetime was like a mark, engraved in his heart and lingering in his mind.
In the end, she found out that he was the God of War, whom everyone respected.
Before she could even feel the happiness to finally meeting him again, he and Qingdai severely beaten her to death and threw her to hell, and unable to properly reincarnate.
Now that she comes back in this life, she will choose to be a demon who is crawling out of hell, demanding lives from these vicious people.
"If Young Master Yi doesn't say anything, Banxia shall forget all the agreement with Young Master Yi."
Every time Yue Beiyi hears the three words of "Young Master Yi", he feels extremely uncomfortable. Where is the little girl who clings to him every day and calls him "Brother Yi"? .
"That was a lifelong promise, how could you forget it?"
"Young Master Yi, that's just a child's talk. Why bother mentioning the past again?"
"Xiaxia." Yue Beiyi almost used up all his strength just to call out Banxia's name.
Banxia closed her eyes and did not look at his extremely handsome face. Her voice was cold and biting: "The night is cold. Please leave, Young Master Yi, so as not to ruin Banxia's reputation."
Yue Beiyi could feel Banxia's ruthlessness that stems from the bottom of her heart, and it made him even more aware of her determination to hate him.
He didn't understand why she hated him so much since he hadn't seen her in nearly ten years.
He finally left, but he didn't even know how he left Banxia's room or Marquis Yao's resident.
Late at night, the darkness permeated the entire capital, and he was like a walking zombie without knowing where to go.
Su Feng, who followed his master closely, was secretly annoyed at Banxia's lack of conscience.
Their master is the best among men, even the current emperor would not dare to say a harsh word to their master. Only she can break his master's heart and still remain unscathed.
"Go back and take good care of her. If she loses a hair, you will come to see me."
Yue Beiyi suddenly spoke, which scared Su Feng so much that he had to stop his steps immediately: "Master, the fifth lady has treated you like that, why do you have to be persistent with her."
With a sound of "Boom...", Su Feng was hit by Yue Beiyi's palm, making him flew and hit the wall.
"Pfft..." Su Feng spit out a mouthful of blood, and then immediately knelt down: "Thank you, Master, for showing mercy."
He knew in his heart that the Master only used one level of skill, so he was only slightly injured.
If the master had used 20% of his power, he would definitely be a corpse now.
"If you dare to say anything bad about her again, you will die."
Su Feng nodded immediately: "I understand."
Even though he was very unwilling, he would never go against his master's words.
This is their master, who can crush people with just one finger, but the master is cold and merciless to everyone, including the emperor and queen.
This fifth young lady is so pampered by her master and yet so ignorant. It’s really damning.
Su Feng had been thinking now on how to teach a lesson to Banxia, but when he thought that the young lady is his master's peach blossom, he immediately suppressed the anger in his heart. All he could do now was obey his master's order.
********
The next morning, Banxia was woken up early by Xiangzhu.
"Miss, the old madam asked you to dress up better today."
Hearing this, Banxia frowned slightly: "Someone coming to visit?"
Xiangzhu nodded and replied: "It seems that someone from Qian Resident is here."
Banxia did not interrupt but listened quietly to Xiangzhu's report. She was thinking about Young Master Qian.
Qian Family and Jin Family are both the family of dukes, and they also exist in order to check and balance each other.
Banxia wanted to overthrow Madam Jin, and the first thing she wanted to do was to overthrow Madam Jin's backing and support, which is Duke Jin's Mansion.
However, Jin Family is very powerful, and she definitely cannot do it with her own abilities.
Only if she get enough help can she have the opportunity to uproot Jin Family's Mansion. As for the emperor and queen, she can't reach such high level characters by herself, so it is necessary to have good relations with Qian's Mansion right now.
The only one who is difficult to deal with is Crown Prince Yue Beiyi, and it is even harder to bring him down than to climb to the sky.
But even if it was harder than reaching the sky, she would do it, even if she died together with him.
She retracted her mind again and intended to dealt with the Jin Family first. She will think on how to deal with Prince Beiyi later.
"Go, take out the clothes that mother prepared for me and let me choose."
Hearing what Ban Xia said, Shaoyao exploded in an instant: "Miss, the clothes that Madam prepared for you are so tacky that I can't even wear them. Why do you still want to wear them?"
Ban Xia's mouth curved coldly: "Tacky clothes are also the clothes my mother prepared for me. How can I not show off my mother's hard work if I don't wear them?"
In the end, Shaoyao and Xiangzhu reluctantly followed Banxia's instructions and took out all the clothes that Madam Jin had prepared.
From the beginning, the clothes were all tacky and lackluster, and if one didn't look carefully, ome wouldn't be able to tell anything wrong with them.
But Banxia just chose a pink top and a big green skirt. Such a combination is simply too vulgar.
Shaoyao and Xiangzhu shook their heads at the same time, and they were very confused as to why the young lady did this.
