NovelEnglishTransmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart
Chapter 1455 Chu Qi Was So Scary"Oh." Ji'er did not think much of it, although she did find it strange.
Yaoyao asked Long Yin, "What happened just now, Royal Brother?"
"An assassin barged in," Long Yin replied calmly. He was a boy, not to mention the next in line to the throne of Great Shang. Long Yang had already exposed him to such bloody scenes before.
Because of that, Long Yin was unfazed by the scene that unfolded. However, it was different for his two younger sisters. His parents had protected the girls well and did not allow anything terrifying to appear in front of them.
Princess Man Li deserved what had happened to her. Who was she to insult Ji'er?
Even if Chu Qi did nothing, Long Yin would not have stood by quietly either.
"There was an assassin?" Yaoyao's eyes widened. She was interested to learn more as she had never seen an assassin before. An assassin was something like an urban legend to her and one actually appeared where she was today. It was a pity she had not seen the assassin.

"Where's the assassin?" She looked around and could not see any signs of a fight.
"The assassin escaped," said Long Yin.
"Escaped?"
Yaoyao looked at him in disbelief. "What use were all of you, then?"
Long Yin, "…"
"Let's go. We should return to the Palace." He stood up and looked at Ji'er.
Ji'er had no choice but to stand up from her seat. She looked at Chu Qi and said, "Come see me at the Palace when you're free, Lil Qi."
"Alright," Lil Qi replied as he escorted everyone out.
As Zhao Qian and Chu Yi were also present, he walked them out of the mansion gates.
Ji'er poked her head out of the window after getting onto the horse-drawn carriage and waved at him. "Goodbye, Lil Qi."

Ji'er returned to her seat despondently when she saw this.
"What's wrong?" Yaoyao asked her in concern when she saw how disappointed Ji'er looked.
"I think Lil Qi has changed," Ji'er said moodily.
Yaoyao hugged her around the shoulders and said in a mature manner, "People are always changing. This isn't anything strange about that. You just need to get used to it."

After seeing Long Yin and the others off, Long Xuan bade goodbye to Chu Qi and returned to his mansion.
Lin Qingyuan followed him, the man's arm wrapped around her.
Even though Long Xuan had pulled her into his arms immediately, she still witnessed the moment Man Li fell.
It was the first time she had seen such a violent scene and she was still feeling unsettled.
When they got home, she tucked her children in and then sat by the window. She said to Long Xuan, still somewhat frightened, "Chu Qi was so scary."
Long Xuan knew she was scared. He comforted her and said, "That was nothing. He has been by Royal Uncle's side since he was young. You could say he was personally brought up by Royal Uncle and had taken control of the covert guards at a very young age. If he didn't have the capability to be vicious and cruel, how would he be able to take charge of the elite soldiers? He's been said to have climbed out of a mountain of corpses. Someone with his background would naturally have a violent streak in them. Even though he's lost his memories, that brutality is still ingrained within him."
Lin Qingyuan was shocked to hear this. "No wonder he took Man Li's life in one stroke. But why do you think he was that angry? Could Man Li's words be…"
Long Xuan immediately covered her mouth with his hands. "Stop spouting nonsense. Ji'er is so young and Chu Qi is not such a person. It's only normal to have a special bond with a child you've brought up. How could he allow someone else to insult her? Even I was angry at Man Li's words, so how do you think Chu Qi felt?"
