Chapter 57: The Young Mistress's Chosen Man Is Just Fierce!

Yan Liang stood at the doorway, tilting her head as she looked at the nearly bloody scene before her.

Her skin was snow-white and took on an eerie quality in the night. Her red dress was like blood, and in her glass-clear eyes, a few traces of innocence unfurled.

It was as if she truly had only come to take part in the “game.”

Qin Jiang said nothing. Watching Yan Liang take step after step toward him, he instinctively lowered the axe in his hand and, as if led by some ghostly impulse, spread his arms out toward her.

“Yanyan, you can do whatever you want, your husband will be with you.”

Qin Jiang spread his arms, trying his luck by using himself as bait to tempt his yandere wife.

After all, he had noticed… When Yan Liang had appeared, she seemed to be holding nothing but a red-dress doll, but in her other hand she was actually carrying a string of chains…

Those were what he had used to tie her up.

They were what Yan Liang had once used to imprison him.

He was gambling—betting whether Yan Liang had come now to bind him back, or whether she would stand on the side of her younger brother Yan Zuo, who looked like the “bullied weak one.”

Of course, the latter possibility was indeed rather slim.

But Yan Zuo didn’t think that way. Having finally regained a shred of reason after the axe cut his arm, he started crawling toward Yan Liang.

He crawled, wailing as he went, “Sister… Sister, save me…”

“Qin Jiang is going to kill me!!”

Yan Zuo seemed to have found a lifebuoy of sorts. He was about to grab Yan Liang’s pale thighs and bawl his eyes out.

After all, he was only seventeen.

He was still a boy who worshipped his sister alone.

In this moment, Yan Liang was his last hope, the only one he could rely on.

“Save you?”

“Why don’t you tell me why you’ve showed up at Liangyue Manor tonight? Was the whipping I gave you last time not severe enough?”

“You’ve already forgotten the pain now that your wounds have healed?“

Coldness settled in Yan Liang’s eyes, as if a layer of frost had been quenched over them.

It seemed like the moment she saw what just happened, she had already guessed that someone had made use of Yan Zuo to attack Qin Jiang, but Qin Jiang had turned around and fought back.

Chopping himself with that axe was punishment he had brought on himself.

“Sister, I was wrong, I won’t dare to do it again.”

Yan Zuo couldn’t help but burst into tears. His sister stood there with her gaze fixed on Qin Jiang and she hadn’t bothered to look at him at all.

That made him jealous.

And it broke him inside!!

Clearly, he was the only remaining family member who still stood by Yan Liang in this world.

How could she treat him like this?

He couldn’t compare to Qin Jiang in the slightest?

Yan Liang didn’t look at Yan Zuo. Maybe the slaughter she carried out on the night of her coming-of-age was too violent—she had showed no mercy even to family.

Later on in life, she did not get any closer to this younger brother whom she wasn’t close with in the first place, but she always indulged him.

It seemed like she was trying to preserve the last scrap of her conscience and humanity.

But Yan Zuo kept crossing the line again and again.

Was he forcing her to destroy the last bit of her conscience?

Yan Liang trembled with anger. Her suspicion that Qin Jiang was trying to run away was dispelled, and the chains in her hand fell to the floor…

They happened to strike Yan Zuo on the crown of his head.

Yan Zuo cried out in pain.

Yan Liang took three quick steps and lunged straight into the arms Qin Jiang had opened.

The warm, broad shoulders and Qin Jiang’s familiar scent that haunted her soul made Yan Liang feel an unprecedented satisfaction.

Qin Jiang caught Yan Liang steadily, and her rushing into his embrace melted him with cuteness.

My Yanyan is just too adorable.

Her soft, cuddly posture was like a lazy, well-behaved calico cat.

Yan Liang hugged Qin Jiang, her legs shamelessly wrapping around his waist.

Clinging to him like a koala, a hint of bloodthirst flashed in Yan Liang’s eyes.

She lowered her head and bit down on Qin Jiang’s neck…

Pain and the metallic tang of blood were the only things that made her feel real.

Jiang really hadn’t run away.

Moreover, Jiang, after being bullied, had even learned to fight back.

Truly, he was the man she had chosen.

He was fierce!!

Qin Jiang gritted his teeth as he endured the pain Yan Liang inflicted.

As expected, Yan Liang’s calico-cat claws were still very sharp.

“Ugh… Yanyan, bite more gently.”

“It hurts.”

Qin Jiang wrapped one arm around Yan Liang’s waist and supported her hips with the other so she could be more comfortably koala-hugged by him.

“Hmph, only pain will teach you to remember.”

“Qin Jiang, you’ve turned bad now—you even dare to lock me up.”

“Tell me, how did you know where the key was?”

Having finished biting, Yan Liang then, domineering and cold, grabbed Qin Jiang’s neck.

She didn’t use force, but the gesture was full of possessiveness.

She was marking him!

She was also disciplining him.

She wanted him to obey her absolutely, his body and soul engraved with Yan Liang’s exclusive mark…

Yan Zuo was in disbelief.

Am I also just a part of your little play??

Yan Zuo writhed on the ground like a grub from the itching, making quite a racket, and Yan Liang finally turned some attention to him, the instigator.

“Did he get hit with itching powder?”

“Not exactly. I just checked the bottle—this has the scent of the heart-devouring herb. The venom of the heart-devouring herb makes people claw at their chests for three days and three nights. Its toxicity is fierce and can easily torture someone to a fate worse than death.”

“However, as long as you let the blood out, it’s not fatal!“

In his previous life, Qin Jiang’s arm was cut and he lost a lot of blood.

He accidentally expelled some of the toxin that way, and since he passed out, he didn’t suffer too much afterward.

But the experience of this night made him completely terrified of and resentful toward Yan Liang…

As for Yan Zuo, Qin Jiang intended to teach him a lesson, but did not plan to take his life!

Yan Liang’s eyes darkened. She hopped out of Qin Jiang’s embrace, walked barefoot to Yan Zuo, and bent over to look at him.

“Yan Zuo, you’ve crossed the line again.”

“Do you know what must be done?”

Since Yan Liang took power, the Yan family had an unspoken rule.

Namely, Yan Liang’s decisions were like a decree from the gods. No one was allowed to oppose or question them.

Once you crossed the line, you had to accept punishment in the water prison.

In fact, when Yan Liang first took control of the Yan Group, the old home’s water prison was very lively.

But almost no one lasted more than two days inside. They couldn’t endure it and ended up as bits of dried bone…

From start to finish, Yan Liang was a beast mad to the bone!

Yan Zuo was frightened. He curled up and finally resigned himself as if ready to die, “Sister, just kill me.”

“Anyway… anyway you don’t love me… in your eyes and in your heart there’s only that bastard Qin Jiang!”

Qin Jiang’s eyes narrowed. Though he understood Yan Zuo’s motive, Yan Zuo had never gone easy on him when tormenting him.

Qin Jiang wasn’t going to show him mercy either.

“Hm.”

“Good that you know.”

Yan Liang didn’t deny it. Instead she nodded in satisfaction.

Her dark-red hair fell over her shoulders, red dress against snow-white skin. Without her usual fierce makeup, her face looked innocent and harmless.

Yan Zuo went into despair.

Yan Liang must have been bewitched by Qin Jiang’s charm!

“Yan Zuo, you should be grateful… the water prison is already full.”

“I’ll choose another way to punish you.”

Yan Liang spoke slowly, but her words soundly heavenly to Yan Zuo.

Hmph, he knew it! His sister still cared for him.

The next moment, Yan Liang stepped aside and came in front of Qin Jiang.

Plop.

Whoosh——

Yan Liang smoothly pulled out Qin Jiang’s belt and, with a backhanded swing, lashed it onto Yan Zuo’s body.

Crack!!

That sting was somehow even more terrifying than a whip.

It vividly showed what it looked like when a sister struck her rebellious brother with a belt! And as long as he was still alive, she would lash out like seven wolves!

That night, Yan Zuo’s wails echoed throughout the manor.

Old Butler Xu, who was sleeping close to the big white lion, Genera, at night, heard the screams and instinctively burrowed into the lion’s sturdy plush fur.

Well, although General looked frightening, Butler Xu secretly fed him game every day.

Gradually he established a stable food-supplying relationship with General.

As long as General was well-fed, he wouldn’t look to nibble on this hundred-odd-pound old meat that was Butler Xu.

“Oh dear… looks like the young master got beaten!”

“Mm, but if they beat him, then they can’t beat Old Xu anymore.”

Butler Xu, adhering to the spirit of ‘if my comrades die I’ll die too, but I’ll survive if I can,’ continued to skulk in the big white lion’s lair…

…

A night of action.

Both Yan Liang and Qin Jiang were exhausted. They held each other and slept again until mid-afternoon.

Yan Zuo was carried out of the manor early that morning.

After all, Old Xu was most familiar with dealings with the hospital ICU, and Butler Xu naturally resumed his duties.

When he had Yan Zuo carried away, he couldn’t bear to look directly at the scars on his body.

“Little Ning, Liangyue Manor has changed hands!”

“From now on it will probably be Qin Jiang’s world,” Old Xu sighed.

Zhou Ning rolled his eyes. “It changed hands long ago.”

“You’re so late to the news, you’re like someone arriving only in time to get the cold poop.”

Butler Xu glared at him. I don’t eat poop! You do! You’re the poop eater!

After giving Yan Zuo a temporary lesson, Qin Jiang was fully back to strength.

This afternoon was the National College Student Scientific Research Invention Competition. After waking, Qin Jiang quickly packed up and went to school.

Of course, before he left he was pulled back by Yan Liang, who clung to his neck and kissed him hard until she was satisfied.

Qin Jiang, wondered, mmm… what worries are there having a yandere wife?

Probably just that irregular bruises often appear on his body!

Those are the Young Mistress Yan’s exclusive marks~
