The group of juniors from the Lou family and Lou Xiaoxiao nervously looked at the butler from the Yinguo mansion. They didnât dare to even breathe loudly.
After a long time.
With a menacing expression, the butler ruthlessly said, âHumph! An family! So what if itâs the An family? If youâre capable, ask Crown Prince to crawl up from his sickbed and find trouble with our Master Yinguo!â
After speaking, he intended to take action.
âHold on!â Lou Xiaoxiao could not take it anymore. She stepped out from the crowd. âDonât touch him. Iâll go with you all!â
The butler narrowed his eyes and suddenly shot a vicious gaze at Lou Xiaoxiao. âLittle b*tch, wouldnât it have been better if you had decided this earlier! Now? Not only youâll have to go with us, but he also has to die!â
Lou Xiaoxiao raised her chin and stubbornly sneered. âHumph! Then try killing him. Iâll never step out of the Imperial Academy in my life. Letâs see how youâll get what you want then?â
âLittle b*tch! You!â
âFurthermore, heâs a member of the An family! If you kill him, not only will you fail to complete Third Princeâs task, youâll also offend the An family. Are you sure you want to do that?â
âLittle b*tch, youâre indeed talented! Alright, on account that youâre going to be our new madam, Iâll spare that bastard. You, come over here!â
An Shaoning tightly furrowed his eyebrows. âLou Xiaoxiao.â
Without looking at him, Lou Xiaoxiao walked out of the academy.
âWait a minute!â An Shaoning tightly clenched his fists in humiliation. âLou Xiaoxiao, I wonât stop you if you really want to marry Master Yinguo! Itâs just that youâre a proper member of the Lou family from Fengyang prefecture. The ones who have decided this âmatch-upâ are Third Prince and the Prefectural Governor of Fengyang prefecture. Do you really want to leave with these people without any status?â
Lou Xiaoxiao felt a pain in her heart as she tearfully looked at An Shaoning. âWhat do you want to say?â
An Shaoningâs clear and warm eyes were filled with streaks of blood. The sorrow in them was evident. However, he said with a hoarse and clear voice, âThe Yinguo mansion should marry you according to all the traditional rules. Otherwise, if you want to go with him, you have to kill me first!â
âYou!â The tips of Lou Xiaoxiaoâs fingers ruthlessly pierced into her palms. She became incapable of walking.
She had decided to come out because of An Shaoning. If he wanted her to kill him before she could leave, then what was the point of her coming out?
âBastard! Shut up!â When the butler saw Lou Xiaoxiao come out from the Imperial Academy but stop because of An Shaoningâs words, he became furious. He could not hold back his anger, and green veins popped up on his forehead. âLou Xiaoxiao, quickly come out. Otherwise, Iâll kill him!â
An Shaoning snorted. âGo back and tell your Master Yinguo that if he wants to properly do this task Third Prince gave to him, he has to show his sincerity. He should either marry this girl from the Lou family honorably and openly or doesnât covet her again. If you all think otherwise, you can watch both of us die. Then, it would be a sight to see how youâll all account for it!â
âDamn it! Ahahahahâ You bastard.â
Lou Xiaoxiaoâs gaze flickered as she lowered her head and thought. An Shaoning is very smart. He should have a reason for making such a suggestion at this moment... I donât care anymore. Iâll bet on it. If it doesnât work, Iâll die together with him! Thereâs nothing to be afraid of!â
After sorting out her thoughts, Lou Xiaoxiaoâs expression turned cold. She raised her head and looked at the butler. âAn Shaoning is right. Since my family head is marrying me to Master Yinguo, then you should prepare the wedding according to all the traditional rules. In short, I wonât leave the Imperial Academy until the day of the wedding.â
âB*tch! Bastard, do you really think that I donât dare to kill you all?â
An Shaoning regained his usual calmness. He raised his eyebrows and sneered. âThen, by all means, kill us. If you donât dare to, then go back. I reckon that carrying out all the traditional rules will require at least one month, no?â
âYou! The butler tightly clenched his fists. He was so furious that he became out of breath. In the end, he coldly said, âAlright! Alright! You really are talented! Weâll carry out all the traditional rules. Since you want to be so shameless and want the whole Imperial city to know about it, Iâll grant your wish! The wedding will be held three days later!â
âThree days? No! Itâs too short. Ten days!â An Shaoning argued with reason.
âBastard, donât think of being greedy! Seven days, no longer than that!â
