Li Xueyue couldn't help but wonder what face was under this woman's veil. She took a curious step in the woman's direction and reached down for the veil. Abruptly, the woman slapped her hand away.
Li Xueyue let out a quiet gasp and immediately soothed her hand.
Instantly, the guards got to work. "You dare slap our Young Miss!" They grabbed her roughly by the shoulder until she winced from the pain.
"I didn't mean to. It was just a reflex!" the woman cried out, her voice filled with disbelief. She struggled against the hands that were supposed to protect her.
Li Xueyue was so astonished by this servant's behavior that she didn't know what to make of it. But someone else did. A shadow whirled by her before a hand reached out and grabbed the servant's neck.
Wen Jinkai ground his teeth. Who the hell was this servant? Such a useless thing did not deserve to live.
