บท 278: He's Been Tortured

Li Xueyue knew this was the best time to hurry up and knock on the door. If one of them opened the door to reveal her standing just outside, it'd be obvious she had eavesdropped. 

Curling her fingers into a fist, she loudly knocked on the door to catch their attention. The private study fell into silence. Without warning, the door swung open to reveal an emotional Li Minghua.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Li Minghua gritted out as she wiped her face. Her cheeks were flushed red from her pent up anger. She had desperately wished to come home, but now, it doesn't feel like she even belonged here.

"None of your concern," Li Xueyue coldly said as she pushed past Li Minghua and entered the room.

"Did you eavesdrop, you sneaky little rat?" Li Minghua demanded as she grabbed onto Xueyue's elbow. 

"Minghua!" Duke Li Shenyang furiously bellowed. "Enough of these childish antics. Head back to your room right this instant."
