Kapitel 46: An eye for an eye
"I wonder what this bad feeling is…"
The moon was shining brightly above Qing Bo's head, he was at the garden in the palace, waiting for the Crown Prince to arrive. After a while, he moved to a shadowy place, hidden from the moonlight.
"Master?" A grey clothed man walked up to Qing Bo. "Master are you alright?"
Qing Bo sent him a glance and the grey clothed man nodded, indicating that there was no spy around.
"No, I am not alright, something is bugging me. I know that I should have pretended to be sick and stay at the residence."
"But, even if you were sick, as long as you can still walk, I think the Old Master would have still dragged you to the palace. After all, the one that summoned you was the Crown Prince himself."
"I should have broken my legs and stayed at the residence then." Qing Bo frowned. "Who cares about the Crown Prince! I need to get rid of this bad feeling in my chest, and I think the only way to do that is to go home early, no, go home, now!"
"..." The grey clothed man looked at Qing Bo's pale expression. "If it's bothering you that much, allow me to go back to the residence first."
"Oh, that's a good idea."
"But, why the residence?" The grey clothed man asked. "I thought that no one is there since Miss Guang said she wanted to go to the fastival and eat a lot of meat tonight."
"Ugh… I am not sure, this feeling is like a fire burning my heart. I feel very insecure. Maybe I forgot something at home. Anyway, do me a favor and check the residence, okay?"
"Yes, Master."
"Remember to not let anyone see you, Father asked you to be my attendant in this meeting, so if he sees you in the residence secretly, it will raise Father's suspicion."
Qing Bo's eyes gleamed dangerously. Ever since he graduated and was accepted as a government official right after, his father had been very cautious toward him. Must be because Qing Bo's real power was starting to show little by little.
"That man must still remember his sins toward me and my sister, eh? He must be scared that I will surpass him and get my revenge one day. I would never let him forget about the days he made us starve, especially when he just kept quiet even though he knew what that mother and daughter did to Guang'er!" Qing Bo clenched his fist when the image of QIng Guang's red ankles come to his mind. "Them damned pair of bitches tied her upside down like a pig when she was just a nine-year-old girl!"
"Master…" The grey clothed man could not help but feel anger too. "If only your grandfather from your mother's side, the previous minister, knew he treated their grandchildren like this…"
"Tch!"
Qing Bo could not forgive himself for not being able to protect his precious sister in the past. He knew that unlike him, who the old man could use to elevate his position, Qing Guang was just an eyesore. In the past, he and Qing Guang foolishly thought that if the old man would love them, their painful days in the Qing Residence would stop. But when he became an official and his father started to act weird, he finally realized that such a man would never give them such a thing like love.
"No matter how smart, talented, and beautiful we became. That man only thought of us as tools to elevate himself in the eyes of society."
"He is a heartless man, it is a pity that the Old Master was smart." The grey clothed man said. This man was Qing Bo's new servant, Qing Bo thought that he needed capable underlings to fight the old man, so he began recruiting people secretly. The grey clothed man was one of them. At the surface, he was just another servant that served the Qing family. But in reality, he is the son of the butler that once served the Qing Twin's birth mother. His mother was saved by Qing Twin's mother and that made him very attached to the Qing Twins. In the Qing Residence, he is the only servant Qing Bo could trust.
"He knew that I was on your side." The black coated man sighed.
"Heh." Qing Bo smirked. "Still, I won't lose." He flicked his finger and the grey-clothed man suddenly disappeared.
"Sorry that I kept you waiting, Young Official Qing. I just got out of a meeting with your father."
Qing Bo looked back and smiled. He immediately kneeled. "This official greets the Crown Prince."

*PAH!
Another slap landed on Qing Guang's cold face. "You insolent girl! How dare you look at me like that!"
*PAH!
Qing Li who was told to act like she was the one wronged, but she could not help but flinch every time her mother slapped Qing Guang's face. At first, she flinched because the sound of her mother's slap was very loud, it must have hurt a lot. But now, she flinched because of Qing Guang's attitude. She was staring at her mother with such cold eyes that took her breath away.
*Gulp!
Qing Li prayed that Qing Guang would not look her way or her act would disintegrate because she would be too scared of her.
"You murderer! Xixi is Li'er's precious cat! Look at her, she cried so much when she hugged Xixi's dead body. She refused to let Xixi's body go!" Qing Li's mother screamed on and on. "You cruel girl, I want to lock you up in the shed but your sister said that she would forgive you if you apologize to her."
"Beg for forgiveness from your sister, now!"
