C12 Killing Intent
To be honest, Lee Xiang heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw the furious Count. His fury could only mean one thing - his plan that he had spent a whole year preparing had finally succeeded! It meant that he had been caught by his political enemies during today's banquet!
But at the same time, Lee Xiang's heart was also cold to the bottom of the valley! Count Walker had come to find him to settle the score before he could send all the guests away. Obviously, he had never thought of Lee Xiang as his son. From the beginning to the end, he had only treated Lee Xiang as a disgusting Lower Race! At the same time, it also indicated that he wasn't going to have a good time today! If he didn't handle it well, the consequences would be very serious.
He glanced at countess who hurriedly followed behind him, his mother. Lee Xiang secretly sighed in his heart. It seemed that whether he could escape today would still depend on his mother!
Count Walker stared at Lee Xiang without blinking. There was no emotion in his eyes, it even made people shiver.
The rest of them held their breaths in fear. Except for Lee Xiang's elder brother, William, the rest of them were so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Lee Xiang looked at the others casually and even greeted Catherine intimately. Finally, he fixed his eyes on Count Walker. There was no surprise or joy on his face. His face was calm and composed! He even took some time to carefully observe his father in this world.
A typical white noble! A fanatical bloodline admirer! Lee Xiang had already made a precise location for him a long time ago.
"Very good! "Count Walker did not look away from Lee Xiang's face. They looked at each other silently for a long time, and then they snorted coldly.
" William, order the servants outside to uproot all the flowers and plants in the yard. Cripple all of them! " Count Walker ordered coldly.
"No. . . Father! Catherine was the first to shout. However, under Count's stern gaze, she finally shut her mouth. It seemed that even if Catherine married out, as long as she was in this family, he would always have supreme authority.
William was originally prepared to go out, but when he saw his elder sister stop him, especially his mother shaking her head at him, he hesitated.
"Why are you still going?" Count realized this and said impatiently.
Countess originally wanted to stop him, but after so many years, she deeply knew her husband's temper. She knew that he was not just venting the anger in his heart. The key was that he knew that Princess Louise had come here today. He was also very interested in the flowers and plants that Lee Xiang had personally grown, so he was afraid that he would not be able to vent his hatred until he got rid of them. In addition, Lee Xiang playing the zither on his own accord today had also violated his biggest taboo. He even boldly ran to the hall in front of him. She also knew that once her husband made a decision, he would never listen to anyone's suggestions. Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed Lee Xiang to take half a step out of Count's Mansion on the first day of his birth. He hadn't even been to many places in the Count's Mansion. Therefore, she had no choice but to swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth. He hoped that he would only use these flowers and plants to vent his anger! It was not related to the prophecy that he had told him yesterday.
He secretly sighed and nodded at his eldest son, William, who was looking at him, indicating that he should do it!
After William left, a knocking sound came from the courtyard. Lee Xiang felt his heart ache. His ten years of hard work had been destroyed just like that!
"Do you know what your fault is today?" Count's tone did not show any emotion. He was also carefully looking at his yellow-skinned son. Although he had never looked at him carefully before, he had to admit one thing now.
To be honest, the shock that Lee Xiang had given him at this moment was just too great. He hadn't noticed it before, or perhaps he didn't want to. Just now, he discovered that Lee Xiang's appearance had changed a lot, except for his yellow skin. Everything else was the same as his wife, especially his appearance. He was even able to see his own shadow in some places. He was calm, calm, and calm. Especially his eyes, which were filled with determination, were exactly the same as his own. So at this moment, he hesitated for a moment. Because he suddenly realized that Lee Xiang had gathered all the advantages of himself and his wife. But he only hesitated for a moment, and then he made another decision. There was even a trace of killing intent in his eyes. Because at the same time, he thought of another prophecy of his family.
Although this killing intent was fleeting, Lee Xiang was still able to accurately grasp it! He had to admit in his heart that. . . It seemed like he had underestimated his tolerance and his determination. It seemed like he had really been a little reckless today. So at this moment, he placed his hopes on the beautiful countess! Only his mother could save him now. Otherwise. . .
"Maybe I was wrong because I shouldn't be a yellow person, right?" Lee Xiang withdrew his gaze from Count Walker and looked at countess. His face revealed a trace of a helpless bitter smile. Finally, he looked at the strings of his zither with a lonely expression. He gently fiddled with the strings and looked like he was resigned to his fate.
If it wasn't for the fact that it really appeared on Lee Xiang's face, countess almost couldn't believe that such a smile would appear on her son's face, who was not yet eighteen years old!
It was a helpless, disappointed, angry, and even a smile of giving up! A child who was not even eighteen years old actually had such a complicated smile? How could he not be shocked? Suddenly, her heart felt like it was stabbed by a sharp knife. It was so painful that she almost suffocated. She originally thought that her husband was only here to punish Lee Xiang, but now she suddenly thought it through. She was afraid that it was not just a simple punishment, because her husband had clearly promised to hold the coming of age ceremony for Lee Xiang in front of so many nobles. This was not in line with his usual style of doing things. There were only two possibilities. Either he wanted to accept him, or he wanted to give up on him. She knew her husband too well over the years. It was probably the latter! Thinking of that sensational prophecy, countess shivered all over.
Count Walker did not have the slightest ripple in his heart. Since he had made this decision, There was no room for negotiation, and the facts proved that there was no room for negotiation. Of course, he had seen through the meaning of Lee Xiang's smile after so many years of experience. It was an expression of sorrow that was greater than death! And he knew very well that Lee Xiang had seen through his thoughts. To be honest, he had hesitated for a moment at this moment. After all, this son of his was too smart. He was even a little afraid of being smart. He was almost sure that if he gave the Rinker family to him, it would definitely become a big deal in his hands! However, when he found out that Lee Xiang still looked at countess politely at the last moment. This strengthened his determination!
Today, Lee Xiang suddenly played the guqin and played a song to celebrate his mother's birthday. His thoughts could not be hidden from him! The most hateful thing was that he actually used his mother's kindness. He tried to wake up his mother with sorrow and familial love, and finally achieved what he wanted to do by using his mother to stop him from going! This was something that he absolutely would not allow to happen! Because for so many years, he had always adhered to a principle. It was to let his wife stay away from politics and conspiracies, and let her live happily and happily. And Lee Xiang had clearly violated this taboo of his!
To be honest, after confirming this idea, Count Walker was shocked. He even felt a chill in his heart. He had to admit that his son was an opportunist who was good at taking advantage of opportunities. A gambler who dared to use his own life as a bet. Moreover, his meticulous thinking also made him appreciate it. At the same time, he was also very vigilant! This feeling was as if he was carrying a poisonous snake that could be fatal at any time. It made him very uneasy. In his mind, he once again recalled the prophecy that his family had spread for a thousand years. . .
So at this moment, he finally decided what he wanted to do. What if Lee Xiang suddenly got infected during this period of time? What kind of effect would it have?
