Ling Yan frowned, "Ling Xiu, I've decided to send Qingchi abroad for further education. A talent like her should not be buried within our Ling's family for a lifetime."
"Ha, what talent? Without our Ling's family, she is nothing more than an ordinary maid, doing manual labor all her life. She ought to recognise her status. Can a lowly person like her afford to study abroad?"
Ling Xiu stared coldly at Qingchi, sneering.
"Moreover, who gave her permission to go? Did I allow this?"
"Ling Xiu, you can't continue treating Qingchi like this," Ling Yan said solemnly.
"Big Brother, I am willing to listen to you on many matters, but not on this one."
Ling Xiu's eyes darkened, as he stared intensely at the girl who kept her head down, not daring to speak.
"Feng Qingchi, did you forget? Your life is mine, you must obey my orders. If you dare to resist, do you know what your end would be?"
Qingchi's face turned even paler, her body shivered fiercely.
