After Shen Yutang bandaged his wound, he left the room with Song Jing.
Qi Yuan blinked. 'He left just like this?'
The room fell silent.
Qi Yuan touched her empty neck and felt a little disappointed. This necklace was her token to find her family.
In her previous life, when she returned to the Qi family after being locked up for three months, the necklace was snatched away. In the subsequent auction, it was sold for 100 million yuan which helped to resolve the Qi family's economic crisis.
Now that she knew where her family were, she no longer need to spend time finding them
It's just that in this life, she did not want to bother her parents or brother.
As a vengeful ghost who just returned from hell, she only wanted revenge!
Qi Yuan let out a long breath to calm herself.
The cold gray room was excessively big. It was low-key but carried a cold and luxurious sense of solemnity. It was very similar to the feeling Shen Yutang gave off.
Qi Yuan hugged her legs and sat quietly on the bed. She was exhausted but did not dare to fall asleep.
She was afraid that if she closed her eyes, everything in front of her would be a dream. She would go back to her tragic past.
Sometime later, someone knocked on the door.
Qi Yuan glanced at the bedside clock. 'One in the morning.'
She thought that Shen Yutang was back so she got out of bed and opened the door, only to see a middle-aged man.
The butler of the Imperial Park, Zhang Yan.
The villa she was in was called the Imperial Park. It was a unique top-notch manor villa in Jiang Lin.
Shen Yutang had many properties in Jianglin, but it was said that Imperial Park was Shen Yutang's private territory. It was the residence of the Shen brothers. Other than Old Master Shen, even the relatives of the Shen family were not allowed to enter without permission.
At this moment, the butler said apologetically, "I'm sorry to disturb you, Young Madam. I'm Zhang Yan, the butler of the Imperial Park. You can call me Uncle Zhang. I have something to do and would like to trouble you."
Qi Yuan frowned slightly. "What is it?"
Uncle Zhang seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "It's like this. Second Young Master isn't in a good state today and won't see anyone. I'm worried that Second Young Master will hurt himself so can I trouble Young Madam to take a look and send some porridge to Second Young Master?"
Qi Yuan was puzzled. "Second Young Master?"
Uncle Zhang nodded. "Yes, Second Young Master."
Qi Yuan pointed to herself again. 'You want me to go and see?'
Uncle Zhang nodded again.
Qi Yuan was puzzled. Second Young Master was not in a good state so why did he want her to take a look?
Although the engagement was with Second Young Master in title, she had actually married Eldest Young Master.
'Is it proper for her to meet the Second Young Master in the middle of the night?'
In her previous life, Qi Yuan had not encountered those things at all. Instead, she was locked up after causing a scene with Shen Yutang on their wedding night
Later on, she did not hesitate to threaten him with her life and managed to leave the Imperial Garden. Thus, she had never met the mysterious Second Young Master of the Shen family, who had never once left the Imperial Garden.
Qi Yuan asked, "Where's Eldest Young Master?"
"Well… Eldest Young Master went out," Uncle Zhang said awkwardly.
Qi Yuan thought to herself that Eldest Young Master Shen was indeed a busy man, having to attend to things even on his wedding night.
Judging from the butler's tone, Second Young Master could have hurt himself. There might be something wrong with his mental state. Thinking that her necklace was still in Shen Yutang's hands and she was still in the trial period, Qi Yuan decided to perform well and nodded in agreement.
Uncle Zhang gratefully handed the plate in his hand to Qi Yuan and explained carefully, "Only Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master live on the second floor of the Imperial Garden. Now, there's also you, Young Madam. Other than a few trusted aides and myself, no one is allowed to go up to the second floor without permission."
This meant that anyone who could get to the second floor was special.
Qi Yuan felt uncomfortable. In her previous life, the butler, who hated her to death because of her quarrel with Shen Yutang, was actually reminding her tactfully that Shen Yutang valued her very much.
Holding her tray, Qi Yuan followed the butler's directions to the room at the far end of the second-floor corridor. She knocked on the door.
An impatient voice from the room said, "Out!"
Qi Yuan frowned slightly. "Second Young Master, I'm here to bring you some supper."
This time the room was quiet for a moment, and then a man's suppressed voice said, "Come in."
Qi Yuan pushed open the door.
The curtains in the room were tightly drawn, and the only light source in the darkness was a pale yellow night-light.
At a glance, the man in casual home clothes could be seen leaning back on the sofa with one hand rubbing his brow.
Qi Yuan lowered her voice. "Second Young Master, are you alright? Uncle Zhang asked me to bring you some porridge. I've put it on the table."
The man on the sofa turned at the sound.
When Qi Yuan saw the face in front of her, she was so shocked that the tray in her hand almost fell to the ground.
That person… was the Second Young Master of the Shen family?
Even though the room was dim, Qi Yuan could see it clearly.
The man in front of her… clearly had the same face as Shen Yutang!
