Chapter 416 - 267: The Most Embarrassing Moment in History
Chapter 267
"Leave this matter to me," Xiao Song said with a laugh, his voice slightly hoarse, brushing gently against the softest parts of the heart, like willows caressed by the wind, stirring ripples on the surface of the river.
"Why do you always take everything upon yourself?" Ran Yan frowned. Since she had known Xiao Song, this was the phrase he said the most.
Xiao Song raised his eyebrows and said, "You’re mistaken, I usually keep out of things that don’t concern me."
As he spoke, he laid down on the mat, resting his head on Ran Yan’s lap and holding her hand, he closed his eyes. His voice, lazy yet raspy, murmured, "Ah Yan, I don’t ask for much, just to be able to lean on you and rest like this when I come home each day..."
For that reason alone, what was doing a bit more work?
There was silence for a moment, and Ran Yan heard his steady breathing, thinking he had fallen asleep, when suddenly he said, "The thing you mentioned, I’ve already done once before, what’s it to kill a few unimportant people again... Ah Yan, let me do the dirty work..."
The actual killer had only killed one concubine, and the other was personally killed by Xiao Song as a warning.
His actions had always been ruthlessly efficient, but the concubine was also to blame for not knowing her place. If she had been meek and compliant, he might not have taken her life so easily.
