Chapter 607: She Lives Freely, Unconcerned with Heartache and Sorrow
"Master, we have already sent someone to support the Madam," said Hou Qiang, standing respectfully in front of the desk, his gaze filled with admiration.
"Cough cough..."
Hou Yunjiao coughed twice, his clear and pale face flushing slightly from the coughing. His cool eyes looked at Hou Qiang as he asked, "When did Hou Chuan see the Madam crying?"
His voice was hoarse, and his thin lips were slightly red.
Hou Qiang truthfully reported, "The day before yesterday, the Madam was in the sunroom on the first floor."
Hou Yunjiao lowered his gaze, his thoughts in contemplation. At first, when he heard Hou Qiang mention that Qin Ruan was crying, he felt a slight tremor in his heart, and his chest seemed to be pulling tightly.
But soon, he began to doubt if Hou Chuan had seen it correctly. Qin Ruan's personality was not one to cry alone.
That girl had a very positive outlook on life, looking forward to his recovery even more than he did.
On that day, he had spent time with her and nothing unpleasant had occurred between them. After having breakfast together, they watched a movie in the screening room. After a nap, he had told her about the complex relationships between the major forces in the capital.
There was no reason for her to cry.
Qin Ruan's crying was something Hou Yunjiao couldn't believe.
Hou Chuan wouldn't speak nonsense about this in front of him either.
In the eerie silence of the study, two breaths were distinctly audible.
Hou Yunjiao pondered for a moment, then turned on the computer and looked at the surveillance footage from the sunroom on the first floor from the day before yesterday.
Except for the private areas, the Xiangxi Mansion was almost covered in surveillance cameras in every corner.
Soon, he found the video of Qin Ruan in the sunroom.
On the surveillance screen, Qin Ruan was lounging on the sofa in the sunroom, her posture rather improper. She supported her large pregnant belly, with one leg on the coffee table and the other slightly bent, resting on the edge of the sofa.
That leg swayed back and forth, like a mischievous child swinging on a swing.
Seeing this scene, Hou Yunjiao's peach blossom eyes curved up, a faint smile appearing on his face.
This Qin Ruan didn't look like she was crying no matter how one looked at her.
If he wanted to figure out what had happened, he needed to keep watching the video.
After a few minutes, Qin Ruan seemed to hear some movement behind her, and she immediately straightened up her posture.
Perhaps she moved too quickly, her hand suddenly pressed against her belly, and her delicate face showed a hint of pain.
Seeing this, Hou Yunjiao's heart clenched.
He stared intently at the screen, where Qin Ruan sat up straight, but her hand remained on her belly, not moving away.
She must have startled the child in her belly due to her hurried movements.
Her little hand kept rubbing her belly, as if trying to comfort the child.
After a while, her facial expression returned to normal, but a tear fell from the corner of her eye.
Qin Ruan lifted her hand and nonchalantly wiped it away.
Seeing her wiping away the tear, Hou Yunjiao finally understood what had happened.
It turned out to be a misunderstanding.
He couldn't help but cough again.
He covered his mouth with his hand, and fresh red blood seeped through his fingers, dripping onto the wooden tabletop in front of him.
The bloody color was too striking.
...
In the small building.
Hou Chuan held the list in his hand, his sharp gaze fixed on the number A158.
This A158 was a crucial figure in the assassination attempt on Second Master a few months ago.
The danger level of this person was well known to him.
A158 could not have been selected by Third Master to test the Madam.
He held the list tightly, his sharp eyes glaring at the person in front of him, and asked, "How did A158 sneak in here?"
The dark guard on the opposite side saw his expression and knew that something had gone wrong. He hurriedly replied, "brother Chuan, we only picked up the person from the Punishment Hall."
Hou Chuan turned his head and saw Qin Ruan standing not far away.
He threw the list to the dark guard and quickly walked up to Qin Ruan.
He stood in front of her and said sternly, "Madam, something has gone wrong. A dangerous person has infiltrated."
"Oh? Is it someone from the Punishment Hall?" Qin Ruan asked nonchalantly.
"Yes."
"In that case, there's no problem. As long as it's someone from the Punishment Hall, it won't affect the original purpose of our trip. Let's begin," Qin Ruan said indifferently.
With that, Qin Ruan walked past Hou Chuan and Lin Hao.
Hou Chuan quickly moved to stop her, "Madam, be careful. One of these three people is a dangerous person. He tried to assassinate Second Young Master he had killed five elite dark guards from the Punishment Hall in the past."
"Oh? He had tried to assassinate Second Brother? I'd like to meet him," Qin Ruan said with a hint of interest.
Seeing her curious expression, Hou Chuan felt a bit overwhelmed.
He anxiously glanced at Qin Ruan's belly and whispered, "Madam, your current condition is not suitable. Please be careful."
