Q11 Chapter 8
Chapter 8 Blood Splattered Door

The fierce pitiful scream continued to resound throughout the courtyard. Amidst the screams, you could hear the panic-stricken crying of a female. On the west side room, the gates were wide open. Someone was receiving corporal punishment.You could hear the sound the whip made as it meets flesh. Blood spilled over the entire Zhuge Residence. All of the servants raised their heads to see who was enjoying this honor.

While the crowd gradually gathered, Chu Qiao was still at the front of the Residence. Only one step remained to get out of this man-eating garden. But those screams continued to assault her ears making her brow wrinkle. Finally, retrieving her foot, she quickly turned back around and ran towards the west side room.

Fate. It gives people the most opportunities to make a choice to make a difference. Often, those choices will change a lot of things.

Zhuge Yue stood wearing a pale green silk dress, embroidered with a piece of dark green lotus. His hair hung loose over his shoulders, his face was as fair as jade. His eyes were as black as ink and his lips were dark red. Although he was only 13 or 14 years old, he appeared to have a nefarious charm. He was lying on his side on a chair made of rosewood. His elbow supporting his head as a two fine-looking maids held incense sat on both his sides. Occasionally he would move a chess piece. Meanwhile a fast horse have traveled a thousand li with fresh lychee from Bian Tang arrived.

Twenty steps in front of him, a child dressed in black servant clothes had been beaten until bruised and her cries gradually quieted down. A 6 or 7 year old little slave girl was kowtowing at his side begging for mercy. The skin on her forehead was broken as blood flowed and her crystal clear eyes overflowed with tears.

The sun gradually rose really brightly on the Hongshuan Plateau located in the city. Even in the deep of winter, the sun was still strong. Zhuge Yue raised his head, narrowing his eyes at the brightness. This caused both of the maidservants at his side to become anxious. One immediately held out an umbrella to block out the sun from touching Zhuge Yue's head. Looking bored, he pushed away the umbrella, and sat up straight. Both of the maids waited while he waved his hands as he leaned against the cushions of the chair.

Two burly men suddenly appeared and respectfully came forward. They carefully lifted the his chair, and carried him out of the side room.

The girl who was kowtowing was suddenly very frightened and let out a panicked cry. Crawling towards Zhuge Yue, pulling his clothes, "Please Fourth Young Master, Lin Xi will die!"

Zhuge Yue's eye twitched at that. Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the little girl stained with blood on her tiny hands and head.

The child only felt an uncontrollable chill suddenly raised her head. Only to see Zhuge Yue's snow white boots with five bloody fingerprints on them. The contrast was visibly striking.

Frightened, the child became tongue-tied for a long time before rubbing his shoes with both of her sleeves in a panic. Crying, "I'm so sorry Fourth young master, Xiao Qi will immediately get them cleaned."

Bang Bang, Zhuge Yue kicked the child to the ground. Afterwards both of his maids immediately knelt down to take the dirty boots off. Zhuge looked at the child with disgust and commanded with a low voice "Chop off her hands."

Xiao Qi forgot how to sob and sat there dumbfounded on the ground. A cruel bodyguard quickly came up at that moment with a long sword sheath from his waist. And just as quick, a spray of blood-shot up to the sky. Her pale emaciated little hands were cut on the ground.
