Chapter 1963: Chapter 1963: The Appearance of the Guard Dying Miserably

"Go and tell Father, I will definitely attend the banquet tonight."

The guard, after receiving Yue Chushui’s words, clenched his teeth, enduring the pain in his body, and stood up.

"This subordinate shall take his leave."

He bowed to Yue Chushui, then lifted his foot, intending to leave.

However, seeing that Yue Chushui did not intend to open the door for him, he could only return the way he came and directly leap over the wall to exit.

"It seems that your father really doesn’t take you seriously," said Lin Changhong as he watched the guard leave and walked over to Yue Chushui’s side, sighing.

That person was a guard from Yue Chong’s entourage and could so easily disregard Yue Chushui.

The attitude of a servant towards a person depends on their master; if Yue Chong does not treat Yue Chushui as a son, the servants naturally wouldn’t treat Yue Chushui as their master.

This Yue Chong, he really deserves to die!

He had previously assured them in front of them that he would take good care of Chushui.

So this was his way of taking care? Taking care to the extent that even a guard could casually enter Chushui’s yard—moreover, by climbing over the wall. He really witnessed it this time.

Isn’t there a banquet later? He really wanted to ask Yue Chong why, if he didn’t see Chushui as his son, did he insist on obstinately demanding Chushui be brought back from them in the beginning?

"You’ll get used to it."

Yue Chushui smiled at him, saying nothing else.

...

In the study, after the guard had been to Yue Chushui’s courtyard, he returned to Yue Chong’s side.

After recounting the events that had taken place in Yue Chushui’s courtyard to Yue Chong, he prepared to step back and stand guard when he didn’t expect...

"Puh!"

Before he had taken two steps out, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood and collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud.

Yue Chong was startled by his guard’s collapse, hurriedly set aside what he was holding, and stepped forward to see what had become of his capable subordinate.

When he saw the guard’s face was a ghastly shade of iron, his mouth rimmed with black blood, he truly received a great shock.

"This... what is this..."

Other guards outside heard the commotion from the study and came to investigate.

Upon seeing the guard lying motionless on the ground, staring with eyes that refused to close in death, they all stepped back in shock.

At this moment, Yue Chong’s face was really not looking good.

Watching his own guard die before his eyes, his mood could hardly be good, nor could his complexion.

This man had just walked out of Yue Chushui’s courtyard, and he had also said he had climbed over the wall to get in. If even now he couldn’t guess what had happened, he would truly be unworthy of being the head of the Yue Family.

He just never expected that upon the arrival of Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo, his seemingly unremarkable son would turn out to be so ruthless and vicious.

It was just a guard, after all; a scolding or a few lashes would have sufficed if he had done wrong. Was there really a need to take his life?

Yet, the man was already dead before him.

"Master... Master..."

The others, seeing the guard’s terrible death, fearfully looked to Yue Chong, already convinced in their minds that it was Yue Chong who had killed the man.

After all, inside the study, there were only Yue Chong and the guard. Besides Yue Chong, who else could have killed the guard? Moreover, they had previously seen the guard enter the study full of life and vigor.

How much time had passed, and now he was already a corpse.
