Chapter 244 - 148: Yelü Miaomiao’s Anger
When An Jiubian learned of the tragedy at the small courtyard, he was in the middle of a cordial conversation with Crown Prince Zhou Yin at the county government office.
At first, when he heard about the death of the princess and his disciple, he thought it was a joke. But when he arrived at the courtyard and saw the corpses inside the hall, he was stricken as if by lightning, plunging into a numbness of disbelief.
Zhou Yin carefully stepped over the mottled bloodstains on the floor, his hands clasped behind his back, his face expressionless as he scrutinized every detail of the hall.
He walked up to the decapitated Zhou Xiyue, stared intently at the head that still bore an expression of desperation and fear before death and couldn’t help but twist his mouth, "This girl knew fear?"
Then he sighed softly.
If Zhou Xiyue had been willing to set aside her pride and accept the invitation to the county government office that evening, she would have avoided this disaster.
One could only say that fate had its own plans.
But perhaps this was for the best; big brother must be very lonely in the underworld, having a sister to keep him company would at least mean he wasn’t alone.
"An deserves to die! An deserves to die!"
Kneeling on the ground, An Jiubian pounded his chest, his crying voice filled with endless rage and self-reproach, "An failed to protect Her Highness the Princess, deserving of death! Deserving of countless deaths!"
